Boston, which gave McKinley a plurality of 18,000 last year, elected a Democratic Mayor last Thursday by about 4,300 plurality. In a card published a few days ago in some ef the daily papers W. C. McGowan, Esq., denies that he is a candidate for Governor. It looks cow that China is to be divided up among the great powers of Surope. Germany and Russia have already secured their portion and England is selecting hers. . The Republican Congress has agreed "not to disturb the Dingley tariff W33." Certainly not! The problem is to find some way of preventing the Dingley bill from disturbing the Re publican Congress. Xever before has a. Presidential se lection for an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court been opposed so earnestly by the bench and bar. Mc Kenna will make the McKinley ad ministration memorable if notiuDg else does. Senator Ajrcher, of Spartanburg, it is said, will be a candidate for Gov ernor next year,and the main plank in his platform will be opposition to ap propriations for the State Colleges. On that issue he will never sec inside .f the Governor's office. Hon. "Wm. J. Bryan has been elested anniversary orator of the Eu phemian Society of Erskine College at Due West. It is to be hoped that the distinguished gentleman will find it eonvenient to accept the invitation and honor the occasion with his pres ence. Senator Hanna's political prospects in Ohio are of the most desperate character. % The appeals for help which are going out rend thc party air. .The administration is being called on to interpose, even to . the extent of threats of war and political destruc tion on all who fail to come into linc Bishop B. W. Arnett, D. D., th historian of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, at the 34th annual session of the Conference of that Church in Charleston last week, de elared that the wnrd "negro" was good enough for him. He does net hanker after the title i:Afro-Anieri can." .-- * -' George W. Vanderbilt is deter mined that after he leaves this cold and cheerless world his family shall have sufficient means to keep the wolf from the door. He has just insured his life for $1,000,000, the largest policy ever issued in the world. It is what is known as a twenty-payment life contract with a yearly premium of $35,000. At the end of twenty years the payments cease and the principal becomes due at death. Congressman Norton, of Ohio, de clared in the House that "Most of the men on the pension rolls are perjur ers." He wished to change "most" to "many" and the privilege was de nied him. He should have stood by his declaration. It can bc proved in cold figures. There are at present over 900,000 uames on the pension rolls, while the best statistics obtain able make thc number of living fed eral soldiers less than 100.000. Mr. Norton hit the nail squarely on thc head. It is a fraud and a steal in comparison with which the credit Mobelier and Panama affairs are but cases of petty larceny. Mr. Joseph A. McCullough, mem ber of the House of Representatives from Greenville, is going to try to stop the killings in South Carolina by instituting a kind of dress reform. He has prepared a bill that will doubt less bc one of many on thc same sub ject td be introduced in the Legisla ture, to prevent carrying concealed weapons. The bill makes it unlawful to **ear what is known as a "hip pocket" in the rear of trousers or coat, and fixls the minimum penalty for the violation of thc law at six months im prisonment and $100 line. The bill also provides that if for any reason a pcrsoa wishes to wear a pistol lie shall apply to tho Clerk of Court, who, if he considers thc reasons given by thc applicant sullicicnt. shall grant him permission to carry a deadly weapon. Thc Clerk of the Court will also sup ply thc said person with a badge, which shall be worn on thc outside of thc lapel of thc coat <?r in .-onie other conspicuous place. Bncklon* Arnica tfalre.
