And 1t Was Unanimous,

II the failure on the part OF the gen.
eral assembly to re-elect Senator Till
man to a trusteeship of Winthrop was
Intentional, it Is tough on Tillman. 1t
will be remembered that the failure
was unanimous. If it was INTENTIONAL
1t was q unanimous intention. Which
means il it means anything that Till
man did not have "A single friend in the
h"us4 or senate TO presen. his name
Ev n If the majority meant to drop
b senator, some friend, If he had one,
would have exposed the conspiracy.
But not a voice was raised for Tillman;
no, not one.
The ADVERTISER does not for a mo-
ment think that the dropping OF Till
man was Intentional. When our friend,
The Herald, suggests the possibility
that the senator vas dropped by de-
sign, does it not suggest that his popu-
larity has reached a dangerously low
b in South Carolina-when it sug-
gests that he could be purposely ignored
by the South Carolina legislature,
without a friend to utter a whisper in
his behalf?
Ii the whole South Carolina ~leRisla-
ture 10 q man would desert Ben Till
man, the rottenness in the state of
Denmark is beginning to stink.
Possibly it is more charitable, more
friendly to the senator to suggest that
1t was a sorrowful mistake than to con-
slider il a conspiracy on the part OF the
"Antis,"-when we remember that it
was unanimous.

negroes of the South against the

Barring his negro policy, Roosevelt
nearly approaches what the Bryan

nopolies," though heartily commend
that portion of the trust plank which
proposes to tax monopoly privileges,
while they remain in private hands,
to the extent of the value of the
privileges granted" Still we ought
to be more courageous in declaring
what these monopoly privileges are.
why need we fear? Fundamentally
the one monopoly privilege worse than
all others combined is the private con-
fiscatiOn of monopolized land values,
and until the community becomes
wise enough to tax these values into
the public treasury the worst form of
special privilege will remain. Then
tariff duties are potent form of spe-
cial privilege to private monopoly and
all such should be abolished. Patent
rights are another. A good remedy
from the monopoly sustained by pat
ent rights would be for the govern
ment to compensate inventors for use
Tul inventions according to the value
of them, and then leave the machine
free for the equal use of all. Were the
people alive to the Importance OF these
reforms and of their ef1icacious ma
ture, we would not need to worry
about interstate commerce.
And SO with the question of eight
hour work days. Just so long as la
boring men must compete with each
other for the right to the use of the
earth, just SO long will it be useless
to talk Of eight-hour work days. But
reverse our unwise system of taxa
ton, and instead of taxing the prod
ucts OF labor, which discourage labor,
tax the monopoly value of land into
the public treasury, then land will
compete for labor. BY that means
monopoly values of land will fall and
wages will rise, and with their rise

Coming Home.

The Standard is somewhat pleased
to note that several populists, who
for the past three years have been
voting the republican ticket, have seen
their mistake and have come back into
the ranks OF the peoples independent
party. When Mckinley was FIRST
elected the conditions OF this country
were such that better times were ex-
perienced. Had Bryan been elected
the good times would have come lust
the same. This led many people to
think that the republican party was
responsible for the change aud large
number Of populists have been voting
with the republicans since. They now
see their mistake and are stronger In
dependents than before.
Not only does this condition prevail
among those who formerly voted the
peoples party ticket. but a number OF
those who stood by the republican
party through thick and thin will vote
with the peoples party this fall Ia
would surprise the mOdesty OF some
OF our republican brethren IN We would

democratic ticket can be reasonably
interpreted in no other way than a step
in the transfer of populist voters to
the democratic organization. be-
lieye those of US who oppose such a
transfer will be justified in shaping
our future action upon that theory.
What then should be our course at
the coming convention? II We be-
lieve the best way is to join those
who are fighting for popular rights
IN the democratic party we ought-in
that spirit of fraternity we have been
protesting all these years we have
marched and fought together-to dis
band, leaving every man free to go
where he wills without reproach or
abuse. If we believe our organiza-
ton essential to progress and the
public good-then we ought to
strengthen it by naming full state
ticket of men who are in entire ac-
cord with us both on state and ma
tional tickets and issues and appeal
to the good sense and conscience OF
the people to approve. Let the watch

into practice by those democrats VINO

Woman's Suffrage.

The Round Table Club of Cheyenne
presented in the name Of the women
of Wyoming beautiful gavel to the
international suffrage conference, held
in Berlin June and 4, for the use of
the permanent international suffrage
organization. 1t is made from native
Wyoming woods by citizen Of that
state, who has been member of the
legislature. A presentation inscrip-
ton, chased in silver, ornaments the
gavel, which is enclosed in a plush
lined box, also made of native woods.
The cover is fine American flag Of
inlaid wood, with the star of Wyom=
ing cOnspicuously prominent in the
field of stars. 1t is eminently proper
that the women of Wyoming, who
have had full suffrage longer than any
other women in the world, should thus
express their fraternal feeling for the
international movement, which is
of all nations.

The Parlssr Reaction
(philadelphia Prees.)

The faithful observer and chronicles
must report that Judge Parker's gold
telegram gave a distinct impulse to his
candidacy. and that his speech of ac-
ceptance has given It distinct set
back 44s
The receding wave has been appar-
ent ever since this last utterance. It
has been plain in the whole tone Of
public discussion. The speech disap-
pointed and CONCEALED the supporters
Of the candidate and inspired his OPP
ponents. No close reader Of the repre-
sentative democratic and republican
papers for the last three weeks could
fail to note this manifest truth.
The speech disappointed the candi-
dates friends because It sounded no
clear note Of battle-because It was
negative. colorless and impassive-be-
cause It signified no leadership. no IN
itiative and no constructive power. For
the Same reason It exhilarated his adj
versaries. They did not know what
might be behind the veil. It was lifted
and they discovered that there was
nothing to apprehend.
