The Bristow postal investigation has Set things going with a wbirl. Our own Congressman Lilley explains his position, and Congressman Hill hurls the lie at Bristow. Nevertheless the law is plain on the question, and if these good men and true would be ex- empt from even the faintest suspicion of trying to plug their own game" " they must rent their buildings to some other fellow besides the United States government. Congressman Williams leader of the democratic party, was loudly applauded by men of all poiiti. cal shades when he said the investiga- ton should be deep and widespread. ing, and yet Bristow In trying to do this has stirred up hornets nest, which is going to make him trouble
 for the simple reason that a whole lot Of republicans with a pull are men tioned in his report. Bristow has in mind and is following out that old and Familiar saying, "Hew to the line and let the chips fall where they may"

In these days of athletic women, when any and every sport seems open to them, the problem which confronts femininity is mot whether she shall take up some branch of athletic sport, but which one she shall elect to make her favorite; for the fashionable wo- man of to-day is far too busy to de- vote much time to more than one pur- suit, says a writer in sporting jour- nal. As q consequence, she is inclin- ed to favor the one which affords the greatest pleasure and the greatest physical benefit For combination of these two things there is no sport which can compare with driving. II benefits health because it is done in the open air and every muscle in the body Is brought into play when one holds the reins over spirited team. In addition, the brain Is stimulated
 the eye is Quickened and one's pluck is aroused as in no other sport in the world. Then, too, driving enables one to combine social amenities with exercise to greater degree than does any other sport As q developer

The worlds best work can be seen at the Worlds fair at St Louis this year, housed in the most magnificent palaces ever built for such purposes. The student will have the rare priv ilege of attending an international congress of arts and sciences and us- tening to lectures by the most learned men of every ciyiliezd country in the world-an opportunity which every young college graduate in our country should take advantage of. The in- ventor and mechanic will see the lat est and best in mechanical ingenuity and get new ideas not found in books. The artist and architect will see su- .perb picture of beauty and harmony. The citizen who delights in foreign travel can see more strange sights and people in ten days visit to St Louis next summer than can be seen in two yars' trip around the world. The farmer will find object, lessons that will show the possibilities in his calling that will inspire him to im- proved methods, with the assurance of richer rewards and the young and old on pleasure bent will have more kinds of entertainment at this Worlds fair than they ever dreamed of, and can count on the best time of their lives. They will see fifty million dollar show for fifty cents.

 But just now, when one of our leading politicians breaches the shot gun policy for negroes at every public meeting to which he is invited, in this state and abroad, these homicides will continue. The old proverb, Like priest like people,, is true in politics. Like leaders like people is as true, as the other. ....
 But South Carolina will rise one day and free herself from this charge of wanton killing.

With all its faults, the republican party is one which cannot be held to- gether for the execution of deliberate immortality, says & writer in a New York paper. It was born of struggle to make the pledges of the Declaration of Independence mean what they say. It is not going to be held to policy which repudiates those pledges as grossly as did the pro-slavery fire-eat- CTS of fifty years ago. There is an in- perialist party in this country, and we may See it organized as such in the near future. If so, it will embrace a great host Of nominal repub licans, who care nothing for the principles on which that party rests. It will em- brace great number of the southern democrats, who no more believe in the principles. of the Declarati tion than did Yancey and Letcher in 1861. But ii will not embrace anyone who holds with either Jefferson or Lincoln, as to the true foundations of American poi icy. It will be resisted by both the true democrats and the true repub4l- cans of the country. The former re. pudiate the temporary subserviency of the leaders of their party to slavery; the latter have no share in the similar subserviency of the leaders of their party to a policy which enslaves, not individuals, but whole peoples. And they form the overwhelming majority of the American people.

 The late Field Marshal Count von Waldersee was another distinguished soldier, statesman and diplomat who owed much of his success in all three of these capacities to the cleverness of his American wife, who was the daughter of q Connecticut grocer, and who went abroad to economize.

 1t is true that Sunday afternoon the average American family has the yi- vivacity of a boa constructor that is meditating over his assimilation of an antelope.

In thus making criminal mountain out of an entirely inoffensive molehill of technicality Mir Bristow is liable to bring discredit upon his entire work as mn investigator. If he has so grossly erred in accusing the Connec- ticut representatives of wrong doing is it not probable that he has similar iy exaggerated the misdemeanors of other persons doing business with the postoflce department.--New Bgltain Herald.

of woman's character nothing sur passes the handling of horses. It gives her coolness in the face of dan- ger, 1t teaches her to decide instantly and to act on the decision of the mo- ment, and it teaches her that gentle ness and frmness, hand in hand, are the best means in the world for com manding respect and obedience. And the best part of this training Is that the qualities thus obtained are not dropped with the reins.
