Lei the Rural Police Go.

There is no matter which can more
properly engage the attention of the
Florence county delegation in the
coming Legislature than securing
the abolition of the Rural Police law.
The mischievous political activity
of members Of this branch of the
executive government during the
past campaign would of itself be
sufficient to justify its abolishment.
but that is not the only reason that
the rural police should be done away
with.
Their maintenance is useless eX-
travagance. They annually cost the
county in the neighborhood of &c.
900, and there is no particular in
their official duties which could not
be as we'll or better cared for by the
local magistrates and their consta'
bles.-FOrence Daily Times.

Cut Woman.

Florence, December 2S:-lnform'
alton has been received in this city
to the effect that negro man at
tackled a white woman near Lake
City Saturday night and severely
cut her about the breast and face.
Particulars of the affair are lacking,
but from the information available
here at this time 1t appears that the
negro tried to enter the home OF
this lady through the window during
the absence of her husband and that
she resisted.
The authorities arrested one ne
gro and he was brought to the Jail
here yesterday by Rural Police Har'
old Jordan, but information has come
from Lake City since saying that he
is not the right:party and that the
right man is still at large. The ex'

THE DAY.

(The London Daily Express, which
printed this poem, said OF it: The
author is Mr Henry Chappell, a rail
way porter Of Bath. Mr. Chappell
is known to his comrades as the
Bath Railway Poet A poem such
as this lifts him TO the rank of a
national poet Der Tag or The
Day has been for many years past a
German military toast.
By virtue of The Day. Henry
Chappell rather than RudyarG Kip
ling is Engand's national poet His
poem, The Day has gone through
Britain like prairie fire 1t is hard
ly an Old Favorite as yet, but it
surely shall grow yellow in many
scrap-baoks because born of the Red
Corpuscle).
You boasted the Day, and you toast
ed the Day,
And now the Day has come.
Blasphemer, braggart and coward all,
Little you reck of the numbing ball,
The blasting shell, or the white
arms" fall,
AS they speed poor humans home.
You spied for the Day, you lied for
the Day,
And woke the Days red spleen.
Monster, who asked Gods aid divine,
Then strewed His seas with the
ghastly mine:
Not all the waters of the Rhine
Can wash thy foul hands clean.
You dreamed for the Day, you
schemed for the Day;
Watch how the Day will go,
Slayer of age and youth and prime
Defenseless slain for never crime)
Thou art stepped in blood as 4 hog
in slime,
False friend anu cowardly foe.
You have sown for the Day, you
have grown for the Day;
Yours is the harvest red.
Can you hear the groans and the
awful cries?
Can you see the heap of slain that
lies,
Annd sightless turns to the fame
split skies
The CLASSY eyes of the dead?
You have wronged for the Day, you
have longed for the Day
That lit the awful fame.
IT'S nothing to you that hill and
plain
Yield sheaves of dead men amid the
grain;
That widows mourn for their loved
ones slain,
And mothers curse thy name.
But after the Day there's price to
pay
For the sleepers under the sod,
And He you have mocked for many
a day
Listen, and hear what He has to say:
Vengeance is mine, | will repay. !"
What can you say to God?

Under the New organization the squad

Fifty or sixty Marine Corps officers will
probably be detailed as officers of the
Haitian Constabulary. which 1t is pro-
posed to organize under the treaty to
be submitted to the Senate when Con-
Gress cOnyenes. At the direction OF the
Secretary of the Navy plans have been
prepared for the organization Of 4 con-
sta bulary in Haiti. The enlisted men are
to be natives. but are to be commanded
temporarily at least by officers of the
Marine Corps.
The constRbulsry will be organized on
lines Of the Philippine constabulary.
When the Haitian ConstabuIary is fully
orGanized and trained the Marine Corps
officers will gradually be replaced by ma

to qualify. The Marine Corps officers
will probably remain in the higher grades
as long as the country is under the con-
that the Marine Corps officers will have

pay as Marine Corps officers and officers

A Question for the People.

Apparently there is a disposition on the part
OF individuals and organizations to overwhelm
the Joint Congressional Committee which is in
vestigating the fiscal relations between the Dis
trict and Federal governments with briefs upon
various irrelevant subjects. Since the commit
tee appointed for special purpose is not likely
TO give consideration to the merits of the single
tax, District suffrage other proposed reforms,
probably no harm will be donc though of
its valuable time may be wasted in separating
the information it is seeking from of
concerned. 1t will therefore facilitate the work
if the committees attention is not diverted from
the subject OF fiscal relations.
1t is TO be regretted for instance that Mr. A
l. McKelway did not reserve his brief Dis
trct suffrage for presentation elsewhere and upon
some other occasion. He presents a rather strong
argument in favor OF suffrage that might be expect
ed to carry weight when suffrage is being serious
w considered, as it is likely to be this winter
While the Washington Chamber OF Commerce has
already declared itself in favor Of self-rule for
the District. it is a change that will not be
adopted hastily and even when it has been de-
cided upon the form which it is to take will call
for serious consideration by all OF citizens
before Congress is asked to act. Certainly it is
not a subject that can be linked with the present
fiscal inquiry.
Demand for suffrage in the District is by no
means unanimous, and opinions vary widely to
what form of sclf-government, il any, should be
devised. 1t is a question which the majority OF
the citizens of the District should decide since
it vitality concerns them The proper and practi-
cal course is to refer it the people for vote.
They should be asked to vote yes the
question OF seli-government and also to express
their preference as to its form. Then, if suffrage
wins, plan OF government should be prepared
Tor submission TO Congress and convention, or
mass meeting called to ratify it. 1t is greatly
to be desired, if the suffrage question is to be
brought to the front again. that the Chamber OF
Commerce and other organizations and ndivid
uais favorng it, should take the necessary steps
10 ascertain the will of the people. Il may we'll
be believed that if they given the opportunity
to vote upon subject directly and largely
affecting their welfare, they will completely re-
futc Mr. Mckelway's assertion that the City of
Washington has less public spirit than any other
city in America"
AS for Mr.. McKelway's suggestion that Wash
ingtons dependence upon the government has
been developed to the point OF mendicancy," he
is merely picturing the citizens they have been
regarded by certain clique in the House of Rep
resentatives in recent years. Far from being
mendicants they contribute their full and just
share Of the expenses of the Nations Capital, and
only ask that the government shall do likewise.
