Then and New.

The Huuson-Fulton celebration at
New York was a reminder of the
venerable age this country is reach
ing, and still more of the vast pro-
gress that has. taken place in navi-
cation and travel since Hudson sail
ed his little Half Moon up the river
that now bears his name, and Full
ION astonished and attrighted on
lockers by his little, snorting Cler-
.uont.
One has but to contrast the frail
vessel of HUDSON with the magnlf-
icent liners that now cross the same
turbulent waters, and the crude
slow Clermont with the palatial
steamers that now ply our great riv-
ers to realize the wonderful advance
that has been made. And that ad-
vance is typical Of the development
made In the whole world of science
and mechanics during the same time.
But the celebration has also served
other purposes. 1t has reminded us
of the sturdy, dauntless courage Of
Eudson and his crew in venturing
practically into the unknown with
such poor facilities, and OF the hope
.ul perseverance and courage of Full
ton In going on calmly with the build
ing of his steamer in face of sneer-
ing incredibly.
In all this it is cheering to reflect
that the same qualities possessed by
those two men whose achievements
are so gratefully remembered are
possessed In equal degree by Ameri-
cans today. The stories of pioneer
life. of struggles against almost over
whelming odds, and Of wining VIC
tory from defeat prove that the virili-
ty of this generation SHOWS nu uecay.

Punish GrafterS.

The old saying that when things
are at their worst they begin to
mend has good deal in its favor.
Frequently the extreme viciousness
of some conditions creates re-
vulsion Of feeling, and reform is
the result. This is just now being
.ltnessed in two large cities on our
continent Chicago has been no
trioUs Cor its moral and municipal
corruption. but the conviction Of one
of its police inspectors for grating
md the good promise OF reaching
the men higher up indicate that
the limit of endurance has at last
been reached. Canada has always
pri1ed itself on the purity of its
municipal government, but Montreal
seems to have had as much munich
pal rOtteanesS as any American city.
Now the people Of that city have
voted by more than seven TO one TO
adopt what is very much like the
commission form Of government.
These reform upheavals are good
for they indicate the temper of the
people. but reforms TO be effective
must be lasting. 1t is a pity that
the men who turned Farnum loose
did not take lesson from the jurors
that convicted the Chicago grafters
and acted like they did.

The Spirit of the West.

1t is announced at Seattle that
the attendance at the big exposition
has been so great that the financial
success Of the great show is assured.
This In spite OF the distance OF Sc
attic from the great centers OF popu-
lation in this country, which one
would think would tate the falr
to failure at the start, considering the
heavy losses which large eXpositions
have 80 frequently entailed, it will
be matter of great interest to know
how our Western cousins did 1t.
There probably is no more of the
spirit of hustle in Seattle than in a
lot of other American communities.
But they have way of all pulling
ogether in the Far West that is or
enormous value in making things 60.
The East is full of the spirit OF
knocking. If man brings out a
"ew idea, a host of people arise to
'-'~'- hncause it was not managed
differently. In the great new country
of the Pacific slope, all take hold and
pull together.

Miles BENJAMIN Mcsweeney.

The Editor of The Times and DEM
ocrat went to Hampton last Thurs
day to be present at the funeral OF
the late Governor Miles Benjaman
McSweeney. and thus pay last trib-
ute Of love and respect to the memory
of a dead friend of his boyhood.
The death of Governor McSweeney
Is a great loss, not only to his homo
cuunly, out all South Carolina. Inc
life of this brave, good man should
be an inspiration to every boy in
South Carolina and elsewhere. When
we first knew him, although very
young in years, he was already
breadwinner. but, being possessed OF
the highest ideals Of honor, integrity
and industry. he outstripped many Of
his fellows who apparently were bet
ter equipped for the battle of life,
and finally reached the goal of sue
cess as business man and the
highest political honors that could
be attained in this State, the Gov
ernorship. Governor McSweeney was
popular with the people while in Of
fee and out of it. In devotion to
the best interests of the people OF
South Carolina and in sterling hon
esty in office, as well as in his rise
to the Governorship of his State from
the very humblest beginning, he may
be classed with Governor Johnson,
of Minnesota, who preceded him to
the grave only short time. They
we're both men of the highest honor
and integrity. and served their re-
spective States in the highest office
within the gift of the people with
fidelity and honor to those who
elected them and with credit to
themselves. Governor McSweeney
was the soul of honor. The writer
had known him intimately for over
forty years and always found him,
as boy or man. the straightforward.
high-toned honorable gentlemen that
be was when he filled the Governor S
Office of his State with such rare
gentleness and honor and firmness.
South Carolina never had Governor
who loved her more, or who held
her honor more sacred in his keep
ing, than Miles Benjamin McSweeney.
who was laid to rest last Thursday
among the people who knew him
best and loved him most. On the
new made grave of our dear friend
we drop a sympathetic tear, and
pray Gods blessing on those who
were nearest and dearest to him.

Peace and goodwill among the
cations is supposed to have been one
object of the Hudson-FultoD celebra-
ton on the Hudson. That was fitting
as both men were the instruments
of trade and commerce. But 1t is

that took part in the affair were Of

HOUSEHOLD TOPICS

One of the kitchen implements with
which housekeepers need to be familiar
at this season is the holder which
clasps the bunch of asparagus and
holds the tips above the water In which
it is boiled if the bunch is placed in an
upright position. In this way the ten
der tips are cooked entirely by steam.
while the tougher stalks are boiled
long enough so that the best part Of
them will become tender.
A new knife in one of the housefur-
nishing departments cuts the grape
fruit in two and shapes the edge Of the
skin In notches at the same time. BY
holding the fruit against the knife
gently the outside yellow part may be
notched and the white inside skin may
be cut afterward with a common knife
and be left straight as a background
for the notches. The shells make an
excellent receptacle for salad or for
the seasoned fruit.
The hreless coker is coming more
and more into favor, and the majori-
ty Of up-ta-date housekeepers who do
their own cooking are provided either
with one purchased in the shops or a
makeshift contrived at home. One
woman who has kept house for over
thirty-five years is using one and tells
stirring stories of its achievements.
She gets entire meals in il and cooks
her morning cereal regularly while the
family sleeps. The cereal, like the
other foods, is brought to a boil and
cooked for about ten minutes. Then
it is packed away hot into tho box and
the next morning it is far and away
better cooked than by the usual pro-
cess. Long cooking does not hurt GER
calls. For baked beans, corn beef, pot
roast or any other food that improves
by long slow coling the fireless stove
is ideal. Poor mans rice pudding cook
ed all day in it issues from 1t in the
fastest shape. For the pot roast, the
meat is first Drowned with flour and fat
over the fire and cooked for at least
half an hour to insure that it is heated

box, it is more tender than 1t often ap-
