END OF SENATOR M'LAURIN.
South Carolina Democrats Read
Him Out of Party.
AN0THEB GOOD MAN SOKE WRONG
Deluded Himself That He Could Ad
vocate Republican Principles and
Still Be Regarded a Qemocvat,
Fools Not, All Dead G. O. P. Editors
Still Engaged In Selecting a Dcm-
m
-ocratlc Presidential '- Candidate:
Strong Man From Texas Some Non
sensical Prophecy A Hint to Mark:
Hanna Statesmanship In Hawaii.
Concerning the Canteen.
Special Washington Letter.'
The .inevitable has happened once
more. Senator John L. McLaurin has
been read out of . the Democratic party
by the Democratic executive com
mittee of South Carolina," Ills1 down
fall was brought about largely through
the instrumentality of such Republican
papers as the New York Sun, the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat arid the Kansas
-City Journal. They killed the Palmetto
cock robin deader tban a smelt, deader
than a doornail, deader than the men
who lived before the fleod. McLaurin
never started out to make the south
Republican. When he entered . upon
the. path which has led to his undoing,
he bad no more idea of leading a Re
publican crusade than be had of flying.
He deluded himself with the idea that
a "man can advocate all the cardinal
Republican principles and .still be re
garded as a Democrat by honest, en"
sible people. The thing was prepos
terous,, but he might have been per
mitted to silently and gently lapse Into
that oblivion which is awaiting him
and might have escaped being sum
marily - dealt with had not the New
York Sun et id genus omne shouted
their approval -from the housetops and
kept stating in season and out that Mc
Laurin was Republicaniziug the south.
Fraise from the New York Sun is a
withering curse when" bestowed upon
Democrat. So , poor McLaurin has
discovered to his sorrows It is a pity
that he entered upon such a course, for -
personally " he is a lovable .man, and
had, he remained true to the faith he
had a bright future. ;
An Astounding Argument.
The following amazingly witty para
graph was evolved from the inner con
sciousness of the Detroit Journal and is
approvingly, quoted by The Economist
of New York to show how prosperous
the farmers are:
Perhaps it was the tobacco juice upon his
whiskers, perhaps it was his wearing a silk hat
with a Tuxedo coat; anyway a subtle something
told us that he was a farmer.
"Young man," said he, accosting the Jeweler
in the purest agrarian English, "I want eight
gross of diamond pins for favors at my wife s
husking bee.
It is reported that the extreme prosperity of the
agricultural classes has,- in many sections, led to
the use of such large tracts of land for golf links
as seriously to curtail the visible supply of wheat.
That paragraph proves, two things
(1) the fools, are not all dead yet; (2) the
fool killer is remiss in attending to his
duties. He owes it to-a suffering pub
lic to wake up and to redeem his repu
tation by doing double his usual stunt
upon' the- writers of such rot as the
foregoing quoted paragraph.
Unwarranted. :
The Washington Post remarks, "The
Missourian - who wanted Governor
Dockery to set a day for praying for
rain has evidently lost faith in the
Governor's personal pull." That is an
unwarranted reflection on the strength
of his excellency and upon the faith of
the. Missourian in search of an appoint
ment, but; the Missourian in search of
a gubernatorial appointment, or, as one
of my friends once accidentally denom
inated' it, a "gubernational appoint
ment," understands his excellency's
limitations. His Jurisdiction is of this
world of the earth earthy extending
from Iowa to Arkansas and from the
Father of Waters to the mouth of the
raging Kaw. Within that bailiwick his
pull is a regular stump puller on ap
pointive places and appointment hunt-,
era have implicit faith in It till they get
left - Then? They are of little faith.
Catching at Straws.
Republican newspapers will never get
over the idiotic habit of trying to run
the Democratic party.; Like the Bour
bons, they never learn anything Just
now they are busy in the vain endeavor
to select a presidential candidate for
the Democracy. They trump up all
sorts of preposterous canards, all of
which are in due time exploded as reg.
ularly and as certainly as the seasons
come and go. Their latest fable to
call it by no harsher name was to
the effect that exSenator harles A.
Towne had declared for ex-Senator and.
ex-Governor David Bennett Hill for
president-. It had a great run.. Many
editorials were written about it, much
philosophizing was done touching it and
many predictions were" based upon it
Even the cartoonists took a whack at it
Now comes Mr. Towne and telegraphs
Mr. Bryan that the tale is a lie made
bt whole cloth which is the end of It
A Remarkable Fling. . N
There is no. paper in America more
ably or more brilliantly edited than the
Washington Post Therefore it is sur
nrisihe to read In it such a paragraph
as this:x."He may not be able to do
much in the. rainmaking line,but Gov
ernor Dockery Js to be commended for
the effort to introduce prayer into Mis-
whv. bless our simple heart,
Missourians are a law abiding, God
hnrino neonle. Among vthe many
things in which Missouri leads is the
Sunday schooL Governor. Dockery in
troduce prayer -into Missouri, indeed!
The people in Missouri who believe in
rho effif-acv- of prayer' induced his ex
cellency to issue his proclamation ap
pointing a day of prayer" for rata. They
Wed that In 1875 that great
nbilanthropist and Chris
tian Governor Charles H. Hardin drove
tho irrasshoDDCrs out of the. state py
prayer-a people's prayer. For some
reason presumably because she Is re
liably Democratlc-the eastern press
has fallen Into the bad habit of sneer
ing tat Missouri, the most richly en
dowed state ever fashioned by the band
of God; but, notwithstanding and
nevertheless, she flourishes like a bay
tree planted by the rivers of water.
Among her other sources of pride is
the fat that she has the largest avail
able er capita school ; fund in the
Union and the lowest rate of taxation.
And when all her people could vote she
never elected any man governor except
a Democrat! Whatever Governor Dock
ery's virtues, whatever his sins of omis
sion or commission, he did not intro
duce prayer into Missouri.
A Re-enforcement.
It is given out by those who ought to
know that Mr. Wooten, who was re
cently elected to succeed Judge Burke
in cougress irom the Dallas (Tex.) dis
trict, Is a young man of extraordinary
talent and promise. He will be a valu
able re-enforcement to the thin lines
of the Democracy in the house. This
estimate of him is not to be vondered
at, as the Lone Star State has a con
firmed good , ; habit of sending strong
men to congress or to any. other place
where strong men are needed. No dele
gation in the house stands higher than
the Texan. Intellectually and nhvslv
any they constitute a splendid body of
men. .
A Vile Slander.
It may be that viler slander has at
some time appeared; In the editorial
columns of some paper claiming to be
a respectable journal, than the follow
ing from the St Louis Globe-Democrat,
but it is hardly possible. The G.-DV
says: -.
The rains which are coming in larire sections of
the parched regions are very unwelcome to the
Democratic and Populist leaders, but the neonle
are rejoicing. Crop damage would, as those par-
iuiSn.u, mase votes lor tnem in the elections
this year and next. Happily the general prosperi
ty of the eountry and the fact that the ctod losses
are likely to be less than were feared a week ago
stand an excellent chance to drive the recollection
of the drought out of the heads of most of the
farmers before the voting takes plae in Novembcs
in the few states which have elections this year,
it will probably be entirely forgotten by Novem
ber, 1UU2, for two years of drought seldom follow
each -other in direct succession. Republican sway
in the country at large is nt menaced.
Now, be it remembered that The
G.-D. arrogates to itself the title of
the great religious daily." As. a inat-.
ter or met, u is a great newspaper, but
editorially It grows more radical and
more bitterly partisan as the moons
wax and wane. .Certainly the fore
going extract Is not intended for hu
mor. That idea would be preposter
o'us. It cannot be charged up to igno
rance, for It is a thing incredible that
there should be an editorial writer on
The G.-D. who does not know that itis
absolutely false. Consequently it must
be a result of malice. It Is absolutely
safe to say that there is not anywhere
within the broad confines of the re
public even one Democratic, or Popu-
iistfc leader to whom the rain has been
unwelcome. If The G.-D. knows of
such a wretch, It Should name him and
not print a wholesale slander.
A Sweet Prophecy.
General Charles Henry Grosvenor is
not the only pebble on the beach when
It comes to playing the roles of Elijah
and Isaiah. There are others-f or In
stance, the Chicago Record-Herald. It
dips Into the future and boldly predicts
that In 25 years we will be the greatest
exporting sugar nation In the world.
which would be something in the na
ture of a miracle, as we now. Import
annually sugar to the amount of f 100,-
000,000. If we only made enough sugar J
to supply our own wants. It would run
the balance of trade In our favor up to
$800,000,000 annually, it now being
$000,000,000, to say nothing of export
ing sugar. That would be a wonderful
change. There is enough sugar beet
land in the United States to produce all
the sugar we consume" and more, but
Judge John Cv Bell, representative' from
Colorado, who lives in the heart of the
sugar beet district and who is a close
and intelligent observer, predicts that
we will never be a great beet sugar
producing country nntil the American
farmers are willing to work, with a hoe.
as beet raising needs much hoeing,
The Iron Fist.

The best Mark can do for the trusts
when a strike comes on is to have his
subservient , federal Judges Issue in

sterner stuff. He has Just Issued an
order td the effect that there shall be
no more strikes In bis bailiwick and
has notified the railroads that he will
furnish them all the soldiers necessary
tb put down strikes. yJ. Pierpont Mor
gan, Schwab & Co. are evidently out
of their element : north of the RIo

to Mexico and, Instead of wasting day
and night negotiating with pestiferous
strikers, have Diaz order out the army.
Hawaiian Statesmen.
What a wonderful bargain we made
when our jingoes annexed the leprous
Hawaiian Islands may be realized by
reading the following rich and racy
article from the Chicago Record-ner-
aid
That the Hawaiian legislature should have got
to the end of its regular session without passing
any appropriation bills at all and then devoted an
extra session to approving bills tar in excess cf
the government's estimated income is not surpris
ing in view ot the character of. that remarkable
pody of statesmen. The Kanakas who are in ths
majority, are now fellow citizens of our own, but
they have their little peculiarities, among which
is an inability to conform their mental apparatus
to the exigencies of our boasted Anglo-Saxon laws
and government and incidentally, we might add.
to the exigencies of our language.
F.vHfl.ncM of this troublesome but venial fault
were abundant in the time before the revolution?
and they have been! present in pleasing variation
recently. -', One solon proved hia erudition in mat
ters constitutional by proposing that the legisla
ture abould repeal the organic act by which the
territory was established, as it this were a Kana
ka affair pure and simple. . But this daring "se
cesh" . waa hardly as funny as a colleague who,
when he wanted to forestall the practice of c re
whrn oe wanicvi to mnaiau tu usats,-ba.-v wa vaw-
marion; twisted himself in a knot by suggerting
Denalties for the cremated.
The meetings ol the legislature were over

Though we should be loath to classify our Kana-

The Canteen Problem,
The canteen problem aeems to be a
never enamg one, a continuous per
formance. Like Banquo's ghost it will
not dpwn; like a woman's work, it la
never done; like Tennyson's brook. It
goes on forever." Intense heat affects it
not; neither does the extreme cold pro
duced by liquid air. The cantccnltes
represent the canteen to be a great
temperance Institution a body saver,
if not a soul Baver a great aid to dis
cipline. An contralre, the antls repre
sent it as the source of woes unnuni-
ley re-established It once In spite of
congress.: The lasttime the law is
so plain that the. administration dare
urn evaae u . in tne meantime, now- t
ever, the war goes merrily on-likewise
not evade it . In the meantime, how-
the gujszling. Both parties areccumu-
lating evidence to lay before congress
the canteeners to prove that the army
is. traveling to the deuce at double
quick by reason of having no canteen.
and the antis to prove that there la a
vast improvement In the army as to
sobriety since the canteen was abol
ished. When congress meets and Cap
tain Hull brings up his army appropri
ation bill, all the old. straw will be
thrashed over again and every one will J
be of the same opinion stilL
A Monkey and Parrot Time.
They are having In Illinois In the
Republican camp a monkey and parrot
time. Something like a century and a
half ago the cry In England ws.
"Down with Walpolef All factions
could agree on that and the great Sir
Robert met his Waterloo. It Is a far
cry from Sir Robert Walpole to Sena
tor William E. Mason of Suckerdom.
but, the cry now ringing through Illi
nois is, "Down with Masonl" All the
Republican factions can agree on that
from the followers of Uncle Shelby M.
Cullom to the rooters for young Dick
Yates, but there the unity ends, and.
n-citr iuc i-uauuuu i:iii3 xo pieces.
When Walpole fell, those who pulled
Kn v n
him down were at
each other's throat
in a few dava. and so it xriii h in Ma.
son's case. They will pull blm down.
That's dead easy. He could have been
a great man, whether In the senate or
out had he remained with the friends
of human liberty, but the smell of the
fleshpots was. too strong for William,
and, having put his hands to the plow,
he looked back and turned back and
meekly crawled into the McKlnley
band wagon. And his Republican ene
mies will do BHlie to a turn. But after
they dispose of him, what thcnl Just
there their real trouble will begin.
There's the Dawes gang, the Yatps
gang, the TJncie Joa Cannonltes. the

stand with fettered hands, with mean
ingless words before attempting the
record of a life "so pure in its pur
pose; so noble in its strife," aod yet
we would paint a few word pictures to
loving memory of a life that has given
light to ours.
Rev. George W. Newell was born en
the 10th ol August 1841, in Ihe town
of Fayetteville, N. C. His father and
mother were Herring and Rachel God-!
win Newell. When be was five years
old he entered the Donaldson Acade
my in fayetteville, and remained a
pupil in that school until he reached
the age of fifteen years. Having com
pleted its course of study, he passed
across its threshold, bearing the high
est honors of his class, also receiving
an award lor scholarship. When "life's
battle-day" was just beginning, biscx-i
panding soul found its ideal, acd the
flame of a lofty ambition grew brighter

These waiting moments were filled
riih earnest-hearted work. We do
not understand the influence of 'the
every day ol life." The great Sculptor
keeps us unfinished, that, when the
time is ripe for us to receive the last
stroke of preparation br the world's
eye, we may be more complete. Io
the waiting seasons of our lives, wheo
no breeze rufibs the sails on the Life
boat, when no decision has been
reached, do we gather often thote
traits of character, and assurances of
strer.nth that make us ready to step
out upon the world's great stage to act
our parts behind the footlights of
time.
But another new day of experience

enacted, followed by the famous re-

this lime Mr. Newell took charge of a
sick soldier and while endeavoring to
alleviate his suffering, he was captured
by the enemy and taken to Fort Dele-
warr. Around the terrible experiences
of prison life, which lasted until the
end ol hostilities, Mr Newell prefers
