Hryan and Stevenson-a pair to bank on. _ _ Permanent wad advocates ari1 in creasing in Anderson County. Legis lative candidates will either step out ol thc way of the band wagon ur jump on and take an easy fide. The Democratic campaign commit tee would do well to haven large mini her of copies ol'the liepubliean plat form printed foi distribution as a formidable campaign document. "Adlai E. Stevenson, Thc Heads man,'1 was the cry in ls,.ij which brought victory t<? Democracy. "Wil liam Mark Kinley, Thc Henel, man,*' is the ery that will seal Hanna's doom in November. Maj. Marklvjnley and Col. Uooster felt have been marked for slaughter in iii?' (rrent cocking1 main. Col. I try nu and (len. Stevenson have on their lighting pill's. -mu . mm - It is now proposed t<> turn Japan loose on the Chinese situation, ns she is ready with nu n and conveniently near. Japan will gladly do all toplease tjie allies and to win from them the. coveted territory she desires in case of dismemberment. It is stated that it cost thu govern ment $150,000 to investigate the Mon tana senatorial case. Those who favor the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people are likely to lind in thisan argument to strength en their position. - mn . mm in the two candidates for tho Presi dency we see the personification of Expediency and Consistency. McKin ley, who allows no former position, utterance or declaration of principles to interfere with his prerogative of changing his mind if the interests of the party demand it, has won by virtue of this characteristic the appropriate epithet, th?' "Emperor of Expediency." In this connection, that remarkably magnetic chieftain. William Jennings Hryan, who has won the hearts of struggling millions by his persistent efforts to emancipate thcni from tho thraldom of their deep despair, might with equal appropriateness be called the "High Priest of Consistency." Against the tremendous pressure brought to bear upon hint to relegate toa subordinate position the iden of free silver at 1(5 to 1, and to content himself with a general endorsement by the Convention of the Chicago plat form, he stoutly refused and demanded the reaOirmation of tho old ratio with out evasion, Notwithstanding the falling away from tho free silver faith since til? dnwu of prosperity, Mr, Hryan does not fear tile odds, but, Hke the patriot that be is, proclaims once for all bia principles, and whether or not they catch the popular breeze, he stands ii rm for the avowed policy of bis party. He declares that if tho paity wae right in 1800, it should fol low in the straight path then blazed out. However much, though, we may admire the consistent honesty of Mr. HryaD wo could have hoped that ho would have indicated his willingness to tight out this battle on issues upon which the Republican party is even now (-ringingly defensive, and while they still have enough to keep them busy before the people, we have sur rendered to them ono very powerful advantage, a voluntary capitulation not warranted by tho gravity of the situation, aud one which might under different circumstances prove a costly sacritice. - mmm ? mmm - Now that municipal politics aro warming up to an interesting tempera ture, it might be well to remind tho votera of each Ward that before cast ing their ballots for any nominee for Alderman they satisfy themselves be yond a doubt that be stands on the issues raised by the people, and let them see that he is pledjred to the sup port of those issues. Anderson is too cosmopolitan at this day to rest ber interests in tho hands of those who arc incapable because of incompetence or of selfish interest to manage her affairs with absolute fidelity and incorruptible devotion to duty. The day of careful discrimination is now at hand, and it behooves every voter to lay aside per sonal friendships and differences and look only to tho best interest of the city. Anderson is just now on tho upward swell. The eyes of tho whole State are upon ber, and in her native blooming beauty she tempts the covet ous eye of sluggish capital, and if she but yields to his fond embraces she may lind herself deflowered, and that by the consent of her fathers. Thus we must sound a note of timely warn ing that each candidate may face squarely the issue tho people them selves have made. Those issues have not yet been finally grouped, but there are dominant ones upon which those candidates will be asked to state their position, Permanent streets with im mediate macadam vroric ou ihe Court House Square; advertisement of all franchises begged for thirty days be fore ratification at the expense of the parties seeking the franchise; the wid ening of many of tho principnl streets of the city where it can be done with trifling cost; all necessary aid and en couragement to thc volunteer lire de partment with a view to perfecting thc seryice; a moro rigid enforcement of the conditions of all contracts with the city for water and lights; the full pro tection to life an J property against tho dangers incident to thc very imperfect wiring and liability to contact between telephone nn<l electric light wires; the protection to shade trees and thc offer ing ot' sotue inducement to property holders to plant trees in front ot' their property, and a vigorous ordinance that will rid thc city of its horde of miscellaneous vagrants. All of these are vital issues und should be forced upon each nominee for Iiis declaration ot purpose. --mm- . m - A masterful document, is the open declaration of thc Democratic party at Kansas City. There is no attempt to mystify the people UH to the position of the party on any question involved, and so free is it from thc cunning craftiness and deceptive double enten dre uf the Republican platform that ii becomes a really remarkable und, w e doubt not, a history making do? uinent. So free is it from (lu conventional elasticity of political utterances that its severest critic can never tax it with trimming in order to pacify one section of the country ns well as another whose views ure directly at valiance with the former. It is au honest, straight forward declaration ot principles, and BO plain that lie who runs am] bases his flight on such principles may read his title ? lear to the coveted goal ol his ambition. The powerful indictment ol' the Republican administration the most Democratic utterance in thc history of the party. Dee]? from the throbbing breasts of millions ol' resentful voters the outraged cry rends the vaulted sky and linds partial expression in the bold, fearless and dashing charge upon thc citadel ot that, wicked nm! unfaithful servant. Beau tiful and appropriate was thc reading, in unison with this platform, the origi nal declaration of independence, for the two will be handed down to a grateful posterity as thc twin sisters of un oppressed and tyrant ridden people. Thc platform declares the imperialistic and military policy (d' the Republicans "will lead quickly and inevitably to despotism at home/1 and "favors an immediate declaration of the nation's purpose to give thc Filipinos first a stable form of government; second, independence; and, third, protection from outside interference, such as has been given for nearly a century to the republics of Central and South Amer ica." It declares that only greedy commercialism is responsible for the Philippine policy, and that the Repub licans' lame attempt to justify it frotn the standpoint of an investment fails in every particular. "Furthermore, where trude is externo il nt the expense of liberty, the juice is always too high." It favors expansion which takes in desirable territory "and whose people are. willing ami tit to become American citizens." It insists on thu strict maintenance of thc Monroe doc trine in all its integrity, both in letter and in spirit, and condemns thc Re publican platform for professing friendship and allegiance to that great national creed ami at the same time laboring with adi its strength to defeat and nullify its provisions. It arraigns the Republican party for its dishonest paltering wit ii trusts while it has had in Its hands unbridled power to crush them, lt pledges unceasing wnrfare in nation, State and city against pri vato monopolies, and favors publicity as to the affairs of all corporations en gaged in inter-State commerce. "Tariff laws should bc amended by putting tho producta oi trusts upon ?he free list to prevent monopoly under the plea ot' protection." lt declares for protection to individuals and communi ties from discriminations and frotn un just and unfair transportation rates. It declares for election of United States Senators by direct vote of tho people; for the immediate construction, owner ship and control of the Nicaragua Canal; for statehood for the territories of New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma; for home rule and territorial form of government for Alaska and Porto Rico. It expresses sympathy for tho struggling South African republics; and opposes the accumulation of an enormous surplus hy the war tax "to be squandered in such barefaced frauds as the ship subsidy bill which, under the false pretence of aiding the Ameri can merchant mnrine", would put un earned millions into the pockets of favorite contributors to the Republican campaign fund." This last thrust is by no means a Parthian shot, but one which Democracy will make a leading issue, forced unwillingly upon the Re publicans whose "favorite contribu tors" have demanded and received a specific platform deliverance pledging the party to the steal, which deliver ance it will be called upon to give a world of unexpected defense. Democ racy has lined up well for her battle royal. Let all the earth rejoice! Chance for a Bright Anderson Girl.

Surely these United States will not break tho bonds of ?'herish<Ml traditional views, and attempt to hover two continents under its eagle wiugs. Nations of old have trifid the same ex periments to their own destruction. It is strange how one or two trusts or heads of trusts can control the trend of governments. They can set forces on the field of action, and pour out one fourth of the nation's life blood just to satisfy their own rapacious lusts. Con gress should be the proper body to make laws, and the people elect and send to congress persons who say this will aid in carrying out the desires of the people, and so we do not see how one or two can rule the whole concern. Surely they do not step over their promises to get to some money bag that hangs on the rostrum. Hon AM ATE i'it. ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Orders for the Veterans. ?Uders have been issued regarding the annual Convention of the .South Curolina Division, Knited Confederate Veterans, which w ill bc held in Green wood commencing August 1. Com mander Walker yesterday sent out the following order: 1. The annual Convention for 1900 of the South Carolina Division will be held at Greenwood, S. C., commencing August 1. The opening session will be called to order at 10 a. m. 2. ( Mir comrades and the good people of Greenwood have made liberal ar rangements to entertain the division most handsomely and we may look forward to having a most enjoyable reunion. Our numbers are yearly growing smaller and few of us can attend many more reunions-to sonic of ns this will be our last-therefore let us ?haw closer together and all en deavor to meet our comrades on this occasion. The State reunions always bring together thc comrades who were close ?luring the trying days ol' 1801-O?? and more of the comrades than can possibly attend the general reunions of the United Confederate Veterans. Let every comrade in South Carolina at tempt to meet his brothers at Green wood. H. Arrangements are being made for the usual low railroad rate of one cent per mile. 4. Each brigade, regiment and camp will please appoint one sponsor and as many maids of honor as they may think best and let each see that they all come. Nothing adds so much to the pleasure of such reunions as the presence of the lair women of our State, devoted as they are to the holy memories of the great cause we fought for. 5. Any further details respecting the pleasure or comfort of the comrades will be published to tho division, if necessary. Hy command of Gen. C. I. Walker, Commander South Carolina Division, United Confederate Veterans. Janies G. Holmes, Adjutant General and Chief of Staff. Louis F. Waibel, l'h.
