a plan for making James B. Eustis OF
Louisiana Secretary of State. Mr. Eustis,
1t will be remembered, was sent ambas-
sador to France.
Mr.. Smith, who had had no experience
In politics, got his first taste of the game
on a large scale in the contest led by his
chief for the repeal of the purchasing
clause OF the Sherman act That was a
royal tussle Mr.. Cleveand's party was
dead against him. and his only hope of
success rested on his ability to wean
enough democrats from their silver allie
glance to give. in alliance with the republi-

But Mr.. Cleveland was a fighter and a
practical politician and. encouraged by his
New York supporters, who had financed
his campaign for election. he tried the per-
suas.ve power of patronage, and won. Sen
ators and representatives who by votes and
voice stood pledged up to the eyes to free
coinage faced about under the influence OF
the White House and helped the President
knock the last prop from under silver. The
silver men called this lobbying. but, what
ever 1t was, it served, and the President

Mr. Smith must have been impressed by
the proceedings. Everybody else was. ana
the record stands today as the htgh-water
mark Of executive influence exerted on q
legislative body in behalf of an executive
policy.
The program In Georgia Is a big one and
covers many subjects, and while Gov.
Smiths majority in his race for his ONCE
was large. 1t may not serve him at all
points in the carrying out Of his policies.
If he Is finding 1t necessary to lobby little.
he Is but applying the lesson he learned in
Washington. The governor. like his emf

Folk, johnson and Bryan.

The Importance of that meeting in Chi
cagO. when a few democratic politicians
are to arrange next years program for
their party. might be easily exaggerated.
1t seems. indeed, mighty work for Mr.
Taggart OF the national committee,
lieutenant of Gov. Folk, and one or two
other men of that grade to undertake.
1t Is stated as part of the story that
neither Gov. Folk nor Gov. Johnson viii
antagonize Mr. Bryan II the latter de-
sireS to lead the party again next year.
We may believe that Nothing is likelier.
MIR. Bryan has a firm hold on Missouri.
and is not without followers in the north
west. Why should Gov. Folk or Gov.
Johnson run counter to a strong local
sentiment?
AS for Mr.. Bryan. his purposes toward
the next nomination are the subject of
much talk, but maybe of little doubt.
Why, ii he cares for the hazard. should
he not try again? His opponents in his
party assert that he could not be elected.
and that another defeat would put AN end
to him. not only politically. but an
entertainer. Where would his gate re-
ceipts come from after that? Who would
care to listen to a man who had talked
so much and had no future?
1t Is not easy to conceive of Mr.. Bryan
as wholly back number. Another defeat
for the presidency might put him out Of
all future calculations for that place. but
it would not rob him of his smile. his
fiuency. or his abOunding self-confidence,
and while he retains those gifts he will
secure hearing. His personal acquaint-
ance Is probably wider than that of any
other man who has"ever appeared in our
public affairs. For eleven years he has
been continually on the jump. has visited
every section Of the country. and met not
only the local leaders Of both parties, but
hundreds Of thousands Of the rank and
file. He has many admirers even among
those who differ radically with him on all
public questions.
As to gate receipts.s Mr. Bryan could
suffer loss there and not be in the least
inconvenienced. He Is no longer the sal
aried man he was when he lifted the Chi
cago convention off it's feet and threw it
into d spasm of enthusiasm. His bank
account is now of substantial proportions
and he is both farmer and a newspaper
proprietor. Far removed from want he
is as snug as bug in rug. and much
snugger than many Of the buggers who
would put him out Of business.

Such visits work more for peace than all

Wealth.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Mingled with the arraignment Of ill-gotten
gain there is much canting criticism Of all
wealth. The man who rises from poverty
to independence by honest dealing so far
from deserving envy. hatred and all un-
charttableness. Is entitled to public respect.
II is the duty of the poor man. so far as in
him lies. to improve his estate. It is as
incumbent upon such a man to accumulate
money honestly as 1t is upon the ignorant
to gain knowledge. In the railing accusa-
tions against wealth in certain quarters 1t
Is assumed that all fortunes are in some
sense tainted" The virtue of wealth turns
upon the means by which it Is acquired
and the uses to which 1t IS applied.

IN SOUTH CAROLINA FOR THE

COLORED

COLORED.
In the state of South Carolina, which forms
the Roman Catholic diocese of Charleston
S. c., the Negro has always been looked after
zealouslv. From the earliest days of Cathol-
icity the priests labored for him. He was
given place in all the churches. His children
were instructed side by side with the whites
in Sunday school, and his every spiritual
need was provided for
After the war separate churches were built
for him. st. Peters in Charleston, S. c., is
one of the best kept and best appointed
churches in the diocese. A priest is regular
ly stationed there for the exclusive use OF
Colored Catholics, who number about l,OOO
Another mission church is ST. James at
"Catholic cross roads, - near Walterboro S.
Co., and is regularly attended by Jealous
missionary Catholics here number about
300
There is besides the chapel of the Immacu-
late Conception in the upper part OF the city
of Charleston, where services are occasional
in Charleston, is graded as the public school,
with about 200 children, and primary
school uptown is connected with it. These
schools are conducted by seven Sisters OF
Mercy, who live at ST. Catherine s convent
and devote their life and talents gratuitously
almost to the training of the colored youth
Many outside the faith avail themselves of
the example and learning of these good sis
ters, and receive the kindest, most earnest
attention.
1t is proposed to teach the girls needleWork
and other domestic sciences shortly. Eligible
children are sent to industrial schools OF note
in the country, particularly to st. Emma's
college for boys, and ST. Francis Industrial
college for girls at Rock Castle, Va A school
is also organized at 'Cross Roads, S. c.,
with about IS children and two lay teachers.
Splendid work is being done here, and only
recently large class was confirmed by Bish-
op Northrop.
Provision is made at ST. Francis Xavier's
infirmary in charge of the Sisters Of Mercy,
for the sick The spiritual and temporal in
terests of the Catholic inmates of the various
public and private Institutions in the city
are attended to by the pastor Of st. Peters
Catholic church.
Throughout the diocese the other clergy
provide space in their churches for the col
ored people, and willingly instruct and re-
ceive them. The Catholics are respectable,
and respected by the whites, and many at
tend the services side by side with the whites,
and no friction has ever arisen on account OF
this arrangement. 1t is not unusual for the
whites to attend the colored church, and
everywhere the two races can be seen side
by side at the altar rail receiving Holy Com
