5? mi it I - V v.v- 1 a "4?"-. mm. j:.'-V - BY WIIAOAM U uaKNAED. WILiMINttTUJ. r JD. C Saturday Morhuts, May 25- tt'LAURIB'S DEFENCE Senator McLaurin, of South Caro lina, inaugurated his campaign of defence, and his proseljiting work on behalf of the Republican party with a speech at Greenville, Wed- nesday. We have read it carefully because while it is ostensibly in tended for the Democrats of South Carolina this campaign was prac tically inaugurated in this State when the Senator made his speech at the meeting of the Southern Cot ton j ' Manufacturers' Association, which speech was substantially the same as that delivered at Greenyille, which was somewhat more elaborate than the Charlotte speech. But in the cardinal poifits they ate tha same. He starts out with the declaration that he is a Democrat and "hopes1 to remain one, that is he will con tinue to be a "Democrat" provided the Democratic party conforms its platform to Mr. McLaurin's ideas, otherwise he will either take to the middle of the road, or to the woods, or vote with the Republican party, as he may deem best when that question comes up. If his language means anything, and we catch the meaning of it, that's the kind of Democrat Senator McLaurin is and "hopes" to remain. In his position now he is in com plete accord with the Republican party on all the issues of the day. He is with it on the protective tariff, on the question ol expansion, on the subsidy question, in its policy in the Philippines, and in its large stand ing army. If there be anything on which he is not with it he didn't state it or hint at it in that speech. Why, this being the case, Senator McLaurin should still claim to be a Democrat we fail to see, for if hav ing accepted the issues which divide the Republican from the Democratic party, and dilating on the beneficial results, past and prospective, of the f Republican policies does not make him a Republican we would like to know what would. He explains his inconsistency in his vote for the ratification of the Paris treaty after having shortly before that delivered a scorching speech against imperialism by say ing that it was the firing by the Filipinos on our troops which stirred his patriotic blood, and suddenly caused him to 'bout face and vote with the Republicans instead of with his Democratic colleagues, as they all felt Bure he would do. In this sadden resolve, so sudden after he had months to think over that ques tion, he seems to have lost sight of the fact that the first shot fired was by an American sentinel, that the first man killed was a Filipino soldier, and that the shots fired by the Filipinos were caused by the indignation occasioned by this deliberate shooting down of one of their comrades by their presumed friends, the Americans. If he had thought of all this perhaps he might not have been so precipitate in flop ping over. He says the vote he cast as the result of this sudden con version is the proudest act of his lifeand one of which his children wilj be proud. But Mr. McLaurin could have made quite as good and a much less emotional defence if he had left out this shooting episode and said that he : saw danger (as he does say in this speech) of complications with other countries which might have involved us in war, and to avoid that he voted for the ratification of the treaty which changed the situation and averted possible war. That would have looked like conviction upon due reflection and would com mand more respect than the im pulsive decision under the excite ment of a reported shooting. Sena tors are supposed to have some sta bility in them " and to be level headed enough not to lose their heads, be swept off their feet and turn somersets under the influence of wired reports, the truth of which they had no means of testing. But the Senator seems . to be satisfied with that spasmodic performance. Reduced to its substance Senator McLaurin's defence and contention is that the Democratic party not only of South Carolina but of the country should accept and endorse the policies of the Republican party, because a majority of the voters of the country have declared in; favor of these policies. That is the logic of his contention, and if that were accepted and acted upon the Demdi cratic party would have retired long ago and let Republicans run the Government without, opposition. There would have-been but one party and use only for one. - The , other would have no excuse for existence; but . Senator McLaurin gays ;two parties are necessary, . that . he is a Democrat' and hopes 1 to' -remain a Democrat, but: doesn't propose7 to .be 'bossed" by anybody, We have noticed in an expert; nce which has extended ever: eomi 'years that whenever a man who has been posing as a leader wants to rtreakr with the party he had been 7 acting with the'ugual; excuse is that the party h&f proved nntrue to its mission and principles and has se vered itteU-frottrldihoitin r main the fcustodian of those princi pies and the true exponent with the level head. And we have also noticed that with -rare excep tions these custodians of principles, etc, generally land in the other party, into which they drift as a log thrown into a branch river drifts into the larger stream, after tempo rarily lodging here and there. It is only a question of time with the log, and with them. Lack of moral courage or something else may pro vent them from going over at once, but that wouldn't be a whit more to their discredit than going over by degrees and fabricating pretences on the way to justify the steps they take in that direction. If the negro was entirely elimi nated from politics in South Caro lina and the Republican party was not still his political sponsor, Sen ator McLaurin and men of his kind would have less hesitation in drop ping the name of Democrat and adopting that of Republican, which in fact they really are, notwith standing they pose as Democrats. AHD THXSE ARS OTHERS. There is a great lack of thrift in' North Carolina,' more noticeable in some communities than in others, but to a greater or leas extent in all, as a result of which 'we send thou sands of dollars out of our counties and millions out of the State that could and would be kept at home if better and more thrifty methods pre vailed. As an illustration of this we quote the following from the Mor ganton Hercdd. "There are 15,000 people in Burke, outside of Morgan ton, and 2,000 in town; yet the 15,000 in the county dont feed the 2,000 in town. They don't feed themselves. The Herald finds men in Morganton eating beans from McDowell, potatoes from Ca tawba, butter from Pennsylvania, corn from the West, meat from Chicago and BL Louis. Theyre feeding their stock on hay fetched from Richmond. Add to this the heavy drain for cloth ins;, and the wonder is that Burke is not in one big poor house. At a con servative estimate, more tha n a half- million dollars roes . out jof Burke county every year - in clean cash for things that ought to be raised on the rich bottoms of the Ca twaba, John's, Linviile, Lower Creek and other streams, not to speak of our fertile uplands. All this vast amount of money should be kept at home. The salvation of our country is tn its farms. The wholesale destruction of our titn her is only a tub to the whale, and will leave us poorer in the end. There is nothing worse than nothing in tan bark. 8ome time ago a farmer in the county cat magnificent 'shade tree worth 00 to his place, and got $6 for the barK. There is little profit in eut ting and hauling wood, and ' too often it Is done at the neglect of the farm. All this must end some time, and leave our children poorer than we are. There are few more favored coun ties in the State, than Burke, of which this is written. The soil is produc tive, and when given anything like reasonably intelligent tillage will grow any fruit, grass, grain or vege table that can be O1"1 in his lat itude, anofyet it is probably better known outside of the State and in some portions of it through a famous pipe made by an old woman who lived, and perhaps still lives, some where in the neighborhood of Mor ganton, than through any of its natural products with the excep tion, perhaps, of its gold. But there is more money and more profit in the soil of its farms than in its mines. If they showed half as much push and industry in work ing the farms that the miner does in working the mines, Burke would be a flourishing and rich county. . But there are others besides Burke, too many of them. HIGHER PRICZD,CHEAP XAB0R. There are few men in this coun try better, if as well versed on in dustrial questions and statistics as Edward Atkinson, of Massachusetts. What he says or writes on these lines is always interesting and in structive. He recently appeared before the industrial Commission in New York where he gave his view! on international trade, a sublet which is now engaging the atten tion of the commercial nations more, perhaps, than ever, before. After remarking upon the will of American labor as one of the chief factors in our success in competing with other nations he said: "Has not a closer trade alliance' of the English speaking people become necessary to the maintenance of the peace of the world!

What they want is a free hand and open field, with as little tariff hampering as possible and then let them rely upon their own genius, energy and skill in the race for com mercial supremacy.

Atlanta Constitution, Dem. Count Boni Castellan e has served at least one good purpose. It has been shown upon him that it is not necessary to use the knife in every case of appendicitis.

Savannah News, Dem, The Quebec Literary and Historical Society has firmly re solved never to take any money from Andrew Carnegie because of his re marks abont royalty in. his book "Triumphant Democracy." It re mains to be seen "now whether Mr.' Carnegie shall resign himself to the cheerless necessity of giving ' no money to the Quebec Literary and Historical Society, or shall recant Triumphant Democracy," or at least prove that the author of "The Breadwinners" wrote it. Louisville Courier-Journal, Dem. Gen. Bates, having returned from Sulu, expresses the opinion that we got more out of the Sultan than Spain did. . Tuat is a queer way of putting the fact that the Sultan gets a little less out of ns than he got ont of Spain. The United States pays the Sultan a reg ular stipend for acknowledging the American flag. With that stipend, the Sultan is enabled to maintain a better harem and have more slaves than ifthere were no American flag floating over his establishment. Norfolk Landmark, Dem.

Tne king snake then swallowed the other snake, although the copperhead was the larg est, except in length.

"The Partridge Cochin Is a very large fowl, extremely docile and de pends entirely upon having Its rations given It daily, being a poor forager. It Is a fairly good layer but sits often and Is frequently broken up with diffi culty, persisting in sitting in the boxes or coops n which It may be shut for the purpose of 'breaking it up. The writer has frequently resorted to the practice of standing the 'sitting hen in two or three inches of water for a period of two or three days and finds this the most successful method of di verting the persistent mind of the Co chin ben. Some of the bens make good mothers, but are. rather too clumsy and heavy for sitting. If they are to be used for such purposes, however, the nest should be so arranged that the hen will not have to Jump down upon the eggs in going to her nest. If the nest Is so arranged that the hen can simply walk Into tt, many of the Co chins will. come off with good broods. For people in towns or those who have only a small range we consider -the Cochin an excellent breed. .They are easily confined and . will not fly over a fence three feet high.

' 1 Dow Cats Were Prepared For Wevrs ia,en Im the Old Day. , "I started out in life as a wood engrav er," said a prominent business man of this city, chatting about old times in his office the other afternoon, "and little I dreamed in those days that I would wind up in a mercantile establishment. Ia 1872 I was in New York, and among other odd jobs I picked up was an occasional bit of "engraving on one of Nast's cartoons. As yon will remember, -that was the year of the Grant-Greeley presidential cam paign, and Nasf s full page political car icatures printed in Harper's Weekly were the most widely talked about and sensa tional features of : the entire contest, Looking back, it seems incredible that any work of the kind.' no matter how clever, could have excited so much inter est and wielded such an influence with the public But yon must remember that Nast's drawings were the first great po litical cartoons ever seen in this country, and they had all the advantage of out and out novelty. " 'However, what I wanted to tell yon about was the manner in which they were prepared for printing. In 1872 modern photo engraving was in its extreme in fancy, and all of Nast's pictures were cut into boxwood by hand. The blocks upon which the pictures were drawn were made up of a number of small sections mortised together at the edge. Each block could therefore be separated into from a dozen to 25 or 30 different pieces and the work of engraving divided among a number of men. I used to receive my section from the foreman and take it home to cut. . He always enjoined me to - hurry and was in a continual cold sweat lest the paper be delayed- by some acci dent to a piece of the block. What my own section contained was purely a mat ter of chance. Sometimes there was a portrait or two on it and sometimes part of a figure. It was like the 'sliced up' puzzles so popular with children. "Mr. Nast had a style of drawing very difficult to engrave, and for that reason it was necessary to divide his blocks into as many pieces as possible; otherwise they would, never have been finished in time for thf press. His shad ing was expressed ensTrely by what art ists call 'cross hatching' in other words, . by parallel lines crossing each otherfat a ' sharp-angle, and the labor of gouging out the interspaces on a tough block of boxwood was something enormous. Very . often the engraving of a section would deviate slightly from the drawing, and the consequence was that the lines would not match when the block was reassem bled. The old prints of Nast's cartoons are full of grotesque blunders of that kind; but, considering the hurry and crudity of . method, we really did pretty well. A center page plate was usually engraved in about foqr days. Its cost was anywhere from five to ten times that of modern photo work." Exchange. SOUTHS' DEPARTMENT. Jim Crow us Hla ,asoiates-Sosae thins; Aboat EUectricity-Tfce IAom Slayer. ' Do animals understand chivalry?. Do they ever - practice it among1 them selves? We have alT heard of the lion that was grateful to the hunter for taking a thorn from its foot and would not afterward harm him, but isn't that an Imaginary lion? None of us can say that he has heard the story from the hunter's own lips. We can say, howr ever, that we have heard true stories of animal chivalry. Here is one: . One day a boy that we know was out in the country, where he found a dis abled crow. He picked up the bird and brought it home to take care of it and to tame it, if possible. As a mat . ter of course, the crow was named Jim. It grew very tame indeed and showed great fondness for its master, who loves all animals and $.s an ex traordinary faculty for bringing out tne best in their nature. Animals In that may be like ourselves. Aren't you better behaved in the company of some persons than in the company of others? Jim Crow, It seems, developed a most lovable disposition. He and theagray hound are the best of friends, but It was when their young master brought in a family of helpless kittens that the Bpirit of chivalry showed itself in both bird and dog. The greyhound established himself as the kittens' knight champion. "No creature could be more devoted than he is to these tiny specimens of an an tagonistic race. :; More wonderful still, -Jim Crow makes it his duty to feed the kittens. He goes gravely to their box every day with particles ot food In his beak, offering them to the little things ;with an -air of saVingr "My master took me in .when I was a -waif and showed me" kindness-.
