I'?ult Sam will try thu massage treatment on I he "sick man ol" Europe," the gentle m i ii ist rat ion?, ol' soft-soap diplomacy having railed to cause a lea dy response of the stubborn p:i tinn's pulse. Tin* Presidential onslaught <?ti Tur key at this early date would indicate that the administration contemplates the omission of Thnnksgit mg ceremo nies in November. Tin Ucpiihlicnii pm ty, ii" it would l? !i? ?l ite at ?ill, can not well furl hoi postpone tlii- season of returning thanks. The reason adversity strikes the South li rsl and prosperity strikes it last ol' all other sections is her depend ence alone upon cotton. A diversity ol' agriculture and the building ami opera tion of industrial enterprises w ill over come this weak point. South Cand?na is making wonderful strides lo correct the evil. Kev. H. M. Palmer, I). 1).. the vene rable pastor of a Presbyterian Church in New Orleans, will deliver the open ing oration at the reunion of Confeder ate Veterans at Louisville, Ky. The selection of Dr. Palmer, who is with out a peer ns au orator in tho Southern Presbyterian pulpit, marks a distinct innovation, as heretofore the oration at the diff?rent reunions has been de livered by statesmen and generals of the Confederacy, lt will be worth a trip to the reunion to hear the oration of Dr. Palmer. Thc Department of Agriculture re commends ns a substitute for macadam and chert roads, what are known as steel plato roads, costing about $3,000 per mile. They simply provide a solid bed for the tires, being constructed by ! laying two eight inch flanged rails or plates at a parallel to accommodate standard gauge vehicles. The claim is made for such roads that the cost of repairs is very slight, the plutos being very durable and that the draft is so light. Still they are the acknowledged inferior to macadam in many respects, and since a lirst-clnss ten foot maca dam road can bc built for less than #3,000, we fail to see the advantage of the steel plate roadway. Tho Greenville News professes to seo in the Morgan landslide in Alabama a strong expansionist sentiment in that State in spite of tho really important questions and principles nt issue. Senator Morgan's splendid victory was nothing moro nor less than a protest against general demagogic, populist ic cussedness, such ss will bc registered at the general election if tho Demo cratic party incorporates such rot in its platform, imperialism or no imperi alism. Democracy was put on notice four years ago that no wild vagaries and bedlam schemes were wanted. That populistic element of the party was the Jonah in tho boat. To con tinue tho analogy it is hoped that the party will profit by its experience and have the decency of the whale, which, after its period of defilement, spewed out the disturbing Jonah and went about its business. mm - The interesting information is given out that, in taking the twelfth ceusus, the amount of tho present cotton crop is to be ascertained from the ginneries ? and baling establishments. Certainly no better means of securing an abso lutely correct estimate could be devis ed. The proposition is in line with a recommendation made by this paper several months ago in reference to keeping track of the crop. We feel that this experiment will prove so sat isfactory in its results that it will be adopted as a permanent plan and that by State legislation. The plan will doubtless include a provision for iden tifying each individual bale of cotton by plain stencil marks and detailed' records, such records to be open for public inspection ns at present, and a monthly transcript of same to be Hied with the Clerk of Court. This will leseen the risk from stealing and be a perfect check upon lien cotton and insure its proper delivery. If the next Legislature hps backbone enough a law of this kind will bo enacted. Tho recent letter of Hon. Grover Cleveland to tho Brooklyn Democratic Club on the 157th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson has the old time Democratic ring about it. lt abounds in that rugged honesty and frankness so characteristic of the dis tinguished writer, and which charac teristic caused his political death. One caV almost see small fragments of his monumental backbone protruding throughout thc entire article, so that it is a genuine pleasure to read and re read such Democratic view, in these evil days of political heresy, concubi nage and embarrassing entanglements. But for the unrelenting hatred of tho politicians, Grover Cleveland, the great enemy of pension frauds and pet lobby Ro.li?mr>K. would be nominated by the Democrats at K???SUM City mu; sweep the country liko a hurricane. He warns the party not to expect to receive a victory simply through the shortcomings of the party in power. "Democracy is so constituted," he, says, "that it is only strong when courageous in the right nnd victorious when its farces are marshalled under its old and well organized standards. L Our principles ave so simple and they /accord so well with the honest Ameri can disposition which loves freedom and cares for the public welfare, that they aro CM si ly understood by tho Democratic masses. As a result ol" this there has never been a time when false* leadership of our party and a de parture from simple pure Democratic taith have not been quickly discovered and ruthlessly relinked hy listless sup port, pronounced defection and bitter defeat. These < oiiseipiences have thus fur been so inevitable that lessons they teach cannot be disregarded without inviting calami ly." . ,m m - - A very hum- objection is that urged by tin- oppoiient-j <?i the governmental ownership ol its armor plate factories that compressed cotton will, in the near future, displace the use ol' armor m hattlcships. Such an establishment ill cost approximately $r?,000,oOn, while eight battleships are now in 'ourse of construction ami in conten? platina the armor for which is to cost on an average of .fvr? a ton il they are 'ompleted. Thesaviugol the immense profits on these ships would well wur ran! the government's extraordinary xpciidititrc, for i' is now conceded that, granting the practicability ol '(unpressed cotton defense, it niusl be nt leas! many years before il eau lie practically demonstrated; and then this uti!iou does not care to enter into a naval encounter with an untried ex periment against a long demonstrated success in the shape of steel armor. The country is tired ol being held up in brigand style by the great steel companies and cravenly acknowledg ing our helplessness. Metter delny any war by diplomacy for ten years than to be impoverished at the beginning by sharks and wolves gnawing at our own vitals._ County Singing Contention.

LEWIS ANO CIULDKEN. (jen. (jordon as an Evangelist. HOUSTON, TEXAS, April ll).-A spe cial to the Post from Waco, says: "General John ll. Gordon command er-in-chief of.the United Confederate Veterans, who is on a lecture tour in Texas, attended the revival meeting in Gatesville, Coryell county, conducted by Abo Mulkey and nt the conclusion o? thc sermon the evangelist called, on him for remarks. i "General ( Jordon responded from his placo on the platform near tho preacher in one of the most powt ' "'il exhortations, it is said, that lias ev vr been heard in this State. His remarks were addressed principally to the Con federate veterans present. In most eloquent periods he depicted their grand and glorious achievements as soldiers in the service of their country, moving his hearers to the highest pitch of patriotism; then in tenderest tones he made an appeal to them to take up the armor of Christ that wns sublime and absolutely resistless. At thc close i of this appeal about forty Confederate veterans came forward. No such scene was ever enacted before. The old gray-haired veterans crowded around their chief tain, one after anoth er, embracing him, and then they would fall upon one another's necks shouting, the tears streaming down their faces. It was sometime before the ebullition of religious fervor be came audici?ntly controlled for others to reach the platform, but about ono hundred others dually caine forward for prayers." Twins Marry Twins. - I'AKKEKftllURO, W. VA., April 2G. April 20th will hereafter be a notable day under the roof of a little double house in V?'ester ville, O. lt will be the wedding anniversary of two cou ples and the birthday anniversary of all four members of those couples. To-day Guy Omer Crabbe and his twin brother, Roy Homer Crabbe, are 2? years old. On this day 18 years ago Am ion E. Dotson and Edna A. Dotson, twins, were born. The boys were born in Westorville, O., and the girls in Harrisville, W. Va. A year ago Guy Crabbe made a tour of the West Vir ?i nia oilfields and met Edna Dotson. Ie found her a pleasing girl and she rather liked him. A friend told him of tho girl's twin sister, who always wore identical clothes and whose resemblance is re markable, even for twins. Crabbe was interested and wrote a lotter asking Germission to visit Miss Dotson and to ring his twin brother along. The novelty of it all pleased tho elder Dot sons and the twin brothers enme to ; Harrisville. I The visit was pleasing to everyone interested, amt to-day's double wedding is tho outcome of a double courtship started at that time. Three months ago the Crabbes had a double house built at Westcrville, both sides exactly alike? where tliey will take their brides. The brides have selected their furni ture und household effects together and every article ns mutually agreed upon has been ordered in duplicate, so that there will be a most delightful same ness on the two sides of tho double home.-Philadelphia I'rcstt.
