The Coverh ir has adopted quite a unique and novel plan to prevent affidavits fron being made against him. As the bar iers between nations get lowered sa all particularism whether in tra politics, religion or society! rradu: ny disappears. Some men .re so addicted to the making of mo ;ey that they can never let -up to taki? a rest. The rim of the dollar is the horizon of their life. Whein a m .n in public office al lows his consc ence to become deflect ed by fear or favor, he is no longer a free man bi t a slave, and as such he is unfit to told office. If Hayti ha . not resorted in form er days to t.ie decapitation of its presidents aft >r every successful re hellion the :rt>p of ex-presidents would by this time be quite large. Don't let s ay issue that may be projected inti the municipal cam paign make 'ou lose sight of the fact that Ora igeburg should have a llve: progedaive mayor and hoard Aldermen. The staterr mt made by the Gov ernor that b > was perfectly sober when he is eported to have been rude to a young lady at Belton would lead some pe pie to infer' that he is not always st. The Charit tte Observer says that Teddy admits that he took the panic, by the horns and rubbed its nose In the ground a ad then tossed it over the fence, al in the grandest style of Little Jacl? Horner. Governo:* 1 dease has put all offi cials of eve y kind, who he can reach, on no.ice that if they make or attest any affidavits against him, they will hav> to walk the plank into political obliv ion while he is the high muck-a-muck in this State. Referring to Attorney - General yon as a p< ssfrble opponent In the ext gubern ,*orial race, Governor le?.se threat ms to "give him politl il tuberculo sis," if he runs. That lust be a n jw political disease in vented by tl e Governor to kill off opponents. Every once in a while our efficient police runs d -wn a negro crap shoot er or two, 1 ut some how- or other they can't ca ch the white gentlemen gamblers wh< play for big stakes. If the respectat Ie gambling in the city were broken up many a young man would be sav ?d. Up to the first of the month, the cotton ginne( in Texas was five times larger than by the same date last year, the fig ires being 12.23 8 bales as against 2 572. Cotton seems to be opening ?ry rapidly all over the cotton belt, which is an indication that the crop will soon be picked and ginned. The New ierry Observer says: 'Champ Clar <. declares that he is not i candidate or president. This sim nifies matt* 'a and leaves the field <is it appeal 5 at present to Judson Harmon am Woodrow Wilson. Be tween the t1 o Wilson Is largely the favorite. H irmon is too old a man anyway to be running for the presi dency. The Gaffrey Ledger says "if we can't beat G' v. Blease next year with a clean, pur > man, who is tooth and nail against the whiskey ring we might as ^ ell go down in defeat. Blease is as mod as any of them, and if we are tc be governed by any of that elemen we had just as soon it be Blease as anybody." What ele ment Joes t ie Ledger refer to. The dea h of Senator Frye, of Maine, mea .s the loss of another of the veterans of the Senate. On Sept. 2 next he vould have been eighty years of ag \ On March 15 last he bad completed thirty years of con tinuous ser ice in the Senate, having been first e ected in 18S1 to succeed Blaine ou 1 is appointment as Secre tary of Sta e. He was never bitter towards tlu South, and was well lik ed by the Southern Senators. There ar ? some bad reports going the rounds concerning some of the candidates ottering for the munici pal offices. It is reported that if either of i er tain gentlemen should be elected Mayor that they would run the tov n wide open, going so far as to licen? i houses of ill fame even. We hope < ach candidate for Mayor will put 1 hese reports to rest by denying tl em over their signature. Any man vho refuses to define his position, si ould not be voted for by the respec able people of this com munity. S )eak out gentlemen. Both Friends of Bryan. The two leading men mentioned in connection with the Democratic Pres idential nomination at this time are Speaker Clark and Gov. Wilson. For the last sixteen years Mr. Clark has been a close political friend and sup porter of William Jennings Bryan. Before that he supported Mr. Cleve land, bait was bitterly disappointed in the leadership the latter displayed in the White 'House. He thought it anything but sound. In his judg ment the victory of 1892 was turned by Mr. Cleveland into a calamity for both the Democratic party and the country. We.may all be sure that he does not want to "go back" to any thing like that if nominated for Pres dent next year and elected he will go forward in a path of his own. On the other hand Governor Wil son, until quite recently, was a loyal follower of Grover Cleveland, stand ing by and endorsing all the impor tant measures that Cleveland and his wing of the. Democratic party advo cated and attempted to carry out. But he has seen theTlght, and now he is a full-fledged Bryanite, endorsing all the ? important measures that the Bryan wing the Democracy ad vocates and hopes to see enacted into laws should they capture the govern ment in all its branches. Governor Wilson is not looking 'backward, but, /like Speaker Clark, he is facing for ward, and is making an aggressive fight for measures that Mr. Cleveland would reject with scorn if he was still living. The strength of Speaker Clark and Governor Wilson in the Democratic party is a most significant sign of the times. Under the long and progres sive leadership of Mr. Bryan, the Democratic party has moved a long way from the views held and advo cated by Mr. Cleveland and his fol lowers. It has absorbed and pledgr ed itself to carry out should it be trusted with power many Ideas that was branded as revolutionary and so-, cialistic when first advocated by Mr. \ Bryan It has become so radical that three years ago it nominated Bryan the third time for President in the face of a public declaration that un less a change took place in the man agement of the raliroads that the government would have to take them over and operate them. Mr. Cleveland's leadership ended In complete failure. At the e id of his leadership of twelve years, eight of which he spent In the Presidential office, he left the Democratic party a disastrous and hopeless wreck. It suffered its greatest defeat midway of his second term and affon ten years of his leadership. He and his measures were repudiated by the peo ple, who sent the largest number of Republicans that year to the House that was ever known in thai. body. The Republicans did not only .apture the House, but they captured the Senate and elected Governor? In ev ery Northern State. That Is what Cleveland did for the party. This was the condition of the party when Bryan assumed leadership. He had to build up a new organization, and had it not been for the treachery of many of Mr. Cleveland's followers and the immense corruptiuu fund I raised by Mark Hanna, Bryan would ! have won a great victory for the [people. In the face of all this he polled six and a half-millions votes, and is today the most influential pri vate citizen in the world. In the face of all this it is not strange that thoughtful men like Speaker Clark and Governor Wilson should follow In the track blazed out by Mr. Bryan. They know that he is right, r.nd that the great reforms he. advocates are sorely needed. Bryan a Private Citizen. Congressman Underwood's verbal assault on William Jennings Bryan as a dictator has set the pen 3 again of those editors who are in the habit of misrepresenting the great Demo cratic leader. It reminds us of the days when Bryan was first the can didate of his party, for this kind of warfare originated with thn pluto cratic element of the Democratic party about that time. Charges of political dictatorship againsr. Bryan have a suspicious significance, and comes as a general thing from those in the Democratic party who secret ly want to see Republicanism pre vail if they can't get a republicaniz ed Democrat for a candidate. As Bryan is merely a private cit izen, the accusation that he is a political dictator cannot be made against him by any one of good sense in good faith. How can Bryan, or any other man, be a political dic tator when he holds no public office of any kind, not even a chairman ship in any organization of his party, who belong to no inside political clique, who has no big business affili at'oii?, who can not pull a single secret wire in politics, whose only political power is the confidence that a vast majority of the masses of his party repose in his fidelity? B.ryan's political power has no oth-r source nor support than that weil-earned confidence which the Democrats of the country have in him. The abuse heaped on Tlryan is only an effort on the part Of galvan ized Democrats to descry bis influ ence so as they can republicanize the Democratic party/ Bryan has rto longer even the dubious power of a oossible candidate for the presidency for he has distinctly declared that he is not a candidate for the nomi nation. That the power of such a man as Bryan has is to be dreaded by some kind of political managers is true enough; but not by any of the kind with whom we st!'l wish to identify the future of the great Dem ocratic party. There is a vast dif ference in the wholesome power of a trusted leader like Bryan and the danperous dictatorship of a politi cal boss. + ? 4, Democrats Gain a Senator. The death of Senator William P. Frye, of Maine, means the addition to the Democratic roll of United States senators another Senator from Maine, giving that State two Demo cratic senators for the first time in many years. Incidentally it reduces | the Republican majority in the Unit ed States Senate to almost a min imum. The Greenville Daily Piedmont says "when the new senator from Maine qualifies the total Democratic vote will be 41 and the total Repub lican vote 49, a majority of only eight. As quite a number of those who are included in the Republi can list are really insurgents, no more Republicans than Democrats if as much, it might be said that the Republicans no longer have control of the body. "It has been clearly demonstrated in the extra session of congress that the insurgent senators will not vote with the Republicans any, oftener than they will with the Democrats. And the balance of power lies with these insurgents. It is doubtful if the senate of the United States has ever been so split as at- present. There are virtually three parties in the body." The Democrats have gained three Senator by the death of Republican Senators in States that went Dem ocratic last fall. Unless there is a very great change in the sentiment of the people from the last election in the next election we expect to see the Democrats capture enough addi tional seats in the senate to give them a clear majority in that body. So, if they succeed in electing the President next year, the Democrats will have the entire government in their hands. That is the way it looks now. q^SlFIEDCOlDM One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free. Lost?A plain gold bracelet, with initials E. O. W. Reward for re turn to this office. 6-15-tf.
