clear statement of the situation as it
was when the letter left Manila several
weeks ago. This letter was addressed
to Gen. Marcus I. Wright, a relative of
Judge Wnight. The democratic acting
governor says: .
"The press reports of the last month
' or more, wliieh have reached us , here,
'seem to indicate that the general opin
ion is that the islands are either blaz
ing with insurrection or else that out
breaks are prevented only by the use of
troops on an extensive scale . "This Is
wholly misleading. The real truth is
- that in 95 per cent of the territory of
- the islan'ds there is no insurrection, and
Americans go . about singly and un
1 armed with about as much safety as
they would dm a large majority of the
states at home. There is a. fast-dying
-, insurrection dn two provinces of the
great island of Luzon- and in the re

TlLLMANISM UP TO DATE.
T
HE TMmans of South Carolina-
one, Ben, ia United States sena
tor, the other, Jim, 'lieutenant
governor,, are both at the liead
of the dominant democratic ring that
rules the statfr have always courted
sensational publicity, bulb lately it is
supposed they nave received more taan
enough. The latest Tillman develop
ment is the most shocking of all. In
the "Capital Chat" column im the
"Washington Bost of last Saturday was
an item stating that Lieut. -Gov. Till
man haj telegraphed ito Senator Prye,
ifor a decision on parliamentary law
and on' receiving this decision had pro
ceeded to "misquote" it as sustaining
his own decision! in a ruling as presi
dent of the South Carolina senate. The
matter had come to light in Washing
ton through an toqudiry made of Sena
tor Frye in- regard to it by the editor
of the Columbia State. Yesterday the
State delivered a broadside 'exposure
of Jim TiMmam as a "proved fasifier."
The State quotes from the journal of the
South Carolina senate that Tillm'an
ruled, during the investigation of a
bill, that a motion of fndefinite post
pomemeinit was not debatable. The
ruling was questioned. Some days la
ter the committee on rule submitted a
report that the motion was delbatable.
Lieutenant Governor Tillman asked
permission to state his position in the
Journal, (which was granted, and he
made the following statement:
"The chair respectfully ' cites the
committee to Jefferson's Manual and
heartily commends it to the committee
on rules for dilligent study. Since
making the ruling the chair has taken
occasion to inquire of the two highest
parliamentarians of this country as to
the correctness of the same and is
much gratified to learn that it is sus-
tained by them. Of icourse the toter
j pretation placed on the rule by' the
i committee 'on rules will ;be henceforth

the president of the United States sen
ate amd to the speaker of the house of
representatives stating the question
and that "both of them sustained his
ruling."
The State wrote to Senator Frye and
Speaker Hendersom, "suspecting that
Tillman had not stated the question
fairly." Senator Frye .replied:
"I had a telegram from' Lieutenant
Governor Tillman . in relation to the in
definite postponement of a measure and
my reply was: "Jefferson's Manual si
lent. Motion necessarily delbatable.
Debatable under rules of senate."
Speaker Henderson replied:
1 "On Febreary 12, '1902,, 1 received
form Jas. H. Tillman, lieutenant gov
ernor, the following: Kindly wire me
if In your opinion1 a motdon to . indefi
nitely postpone lb debatable under Jef
ferson's Manual." At once on receipt
of the above I telegraphed the follow
ing reply: 'Yes. The hous of repre
sentatives debates the motion to post
pone imdefiniitely and; has ' done so "for
many years. Had the Manual forbid
den it, this would hardly have been
done (without a special rule givdng pos
itive permission."
The State in commenting on the ex
posure says:
"We were prepared, as we have said,
to learn that he had misstated the
question to Senator Frye and Speaker
Henderson", but we were" not prepared
well as we knew 'Ufim" Tillman, for the
revelation made in the letters of theee
officers the revelation that with their
telegrams before him, flatly antagoniz
ing his ruling, he wrote and spread up
on) the Journal of the senate the delib
erately false statement that they had
'sustained' his ruling.
"This was not only a formal and in
tentional (falsehood, but a fraud upon
the senate. The presiding officer of
the senate of South Carolina, with the
purpose to exalt himself at the expense
, of parliamentarians of that body, per
verted the 'official record' of its proceed
ings by Interpolating; . therein that
which reflected upon every senator and
was precisely the opposite of the
1 truth."

A BRIEF COMMENT
BY ,1. WILEY SHOOK
"The Hon. Grover Gleveland has
been described as "political nonen
tity." The geintleman who applies this
description is the Hon. William J.
Bryan, iwho was overwhelmingly de
feated for the presidency on two occas
ions. The gentleman to whom dt is ap
plied was twice elected to that high
office. Is there room for comment?"
Yes, but it is short. The first time
Bryan was defeated he got a million
more votes than Cleveland got the last
time he was elected. Further, at the
election .between these two events,
while Cleveland was yet president and
Clevelamdism was the ruling feature of
democracy, it met its Waterloo, in that
only 14 democrats and allies were re
turned to Congress from all the north
ern states while the south returned 42
opposition members to that party.
Hill was defeated for governor of New
York by more than 150,000 majority,
while North Carolina, Maryland, Ken-,
tu'eky and West Virginia quit the party
to only return- through fraud, violence
and violation of the national constitu
tion. Regardless of what may hereafter
happen Mr. Bryan was the salvation of
democracy in 1896, and he is eminently
correct when he says Cleveland canmot
today get the delegation from a single
state in a national convention nor can
he ever get the delegation' of a single
state until two things happen. First
ten million voters kt this country who
lived through hds administration) and
who ueualiy vote the democratic ticket
will have to forget the.ir troubles, and
second, united democracy wiilhave to
be made (believe he is the only man it
can elect. i. When these two things take
plaice the millennium will" be so close
on hand their victory would be an emp
ty one. J. WILEY SHOOK. ,

THEODORE H. PRICE
Readers of the Gazette, especially
those whose attention ie directed to
the cotton market will be interested
in some f the recent published infor
mation regarding Theodore H. Price,
whose dispatches on the cotton situa
tion are appearing in many of the daily
papers of the .south and east, including
the G-azette. The foltowintg is from the
New York Commercial:
"One of the ablest men connected
with the cotton trade is Theodore H.
Price, and in point of natural ability
not a feW regard him as the successor
in the trade of John H. Inman. His
enemies would make him out a sort of
commercial Machiavelli. His friends
regard him as an intellectual force that
simply goes straight to the mark with
out too much regard for obstacles in
his path. He was formerly head of the
firm of Price, McCormick & Co., which
failed May 24, 1899, with liabilities sup
posed to reach some $13,000,000, ail of
which he says will be paid dollar for
dollar if it takes him a lifeitime ito do
it. He is a man of studious habits, do
mestic in his tastes and is absorbed in
the study of the cotton commerce of
this country and the resit of the world.'
In 1899 he was right in the iforecast of
the market as subsequent events
proved, as the price afterwards rose to
12 3-4c, but like young Leiter, in his fa
mous wheat speculation, who was also
right in his forecasts of the market.he
was overwhelmed by opposing forces
and a lack of capital, though his re
sources -were undoubtedly large. Big
interests antagonized Theodore Price
as they did Mr. Leiter and cotton was
thrown at him as wheat was thrown at
Lefter, with the mathematical certain
ty that sooner or later the offerings
would prove too heavy for him to take
care of. In Letter's case it was fig
ured that there would come a time i
when even a lot of 5.000 bushels would
prove too much (for him as he last
straw was too much for the camel. and
Mr. Price's experience was very simi
lar, though It was partly complicated
with (transactions on the Stock Ex
change. Recently this striking figure
In the trade has again become more or
less prominent. It is understood that
he has been operating "for himself and
a syndicate of Wall Street people on
the long side of the market, arad i very
successfully. Interests represented by
him were understood to be. long at an
time anywhere ifrom- 60,000 to 100,000
bales. ' He is in a position very similar
to thajt occupied years ago by James R
Keene, who came from California with
$13,000,000, and lost it in stocks1, grain
'and "puts" and "calls," tout in his dark
est days always said: fI will come up
again some day." As he did. The same
prediction is made for Theodore H.
Price.
His father was an old-time cotton
merchant, a member of the firm of
CMarch, Price & Co. Theodore came up
from . an errand boy fin his (father's
house, served In turn as sampler, book
keeper and everything else aiul in
short learned the cotton ibusinesB from
the lowest rung of the ladder upward.
He understands it thoroughly in aOl its
intricacies. His circulars, which of-
tentimes are (brochures to email, books.
