One Is Dr. Rupert Blue, surgeon general of the United States, and the other is Hear Admiral Victor Blue, head of the navigation depart-' nient pf the United States S Dr. Blue was the surgeon at the port of Norfolk during the Jan;estown exposition and many South Carolin ians met him then, a modest, thought ful, and considerate'.gaihtleman, proud to lie known at* a Mouth-Carolinian and eager to do what he could to add to the comfort und pleasure of the South Carolinians whom he met. He won distinction as the man who ran the rata out of San Francisco and j thus averted the serious and threat ening danger from bubonic plague be ing brought in by rats on steamers from foreign ports. Dr. Blue has doue other signal work in the inter ests of the health of the country, hutj that one achievement, when he acted {courageously and in a business-like [manner made him the power that be| ht today in medical and health ser vice of the country. Victor Blue,; who has not heard of [Ilten? There was nothing spectacular or theatrical or daahlng about his great 'service to Che country, in the war with Spain, but there la no doubt [that hia exploit of riding a mule I around tho Spanish army caused the I almost bloodless victory of this coun try over Spanish -, armB. Lout. Blue rode around the army and mapped lia position so carefully and so exact ly that General Shatter was enabled to know how* to move against the weaker positions of the enemy and to crush Toral in one fight. The bat tle of Santiago harbor was made a| gr??t victory, also, because of the] reporta or victor mue.: Tnia, quiet, Unassuming, but gallant and unfalt ering South Carolinian la now a rear admiral in tir?

In case of se ??uun uguiing, we bcuove no would ask to be relievedjcfehla^hurcaji jposi-' tion and sent to the righting cone. These two splendid young men are| sons of Capt. J O. Blue of Marion, a member of the "Wallace House," the] house of representatives which wrest ed tho control of the government of thta stats from the-,robber band of 1876, and Capt. Blue was a member of the' committee' which exposed the tremendous frauds. ?MARTHA? T0NIGHT Tin puccess of "Martha" as a light operif uepeoded largely Upon the pop ularity and beauty of Thomas Moore's lovely old poem, '.'The 'Lnc?. Rose of Summer.** . This eong was employed, by Flo tow, composer of Martha, and the mu sk of the entire opera la good but might not have attracted much instant attention but for hif employing the song whose sentiment and whose air will never pall on human tastes. ftt?^Hck von Plotow was born Just a little more than 100 years ago, and it was Juafc l-K> rears ago, 1813, that Sir Thomas Moore fitted his verses to an old Irish air known aa "The Groves of Blarney.'

It was <bfecauso he wished to meet the I thinking, working, striving people, to see their faces and to talk with them in #*Ec!?bborly way. Prom tho colo red reports of the Incident of last year we gathered the Information that Mr. Bryan was running around over the country aimlessly. Not so. , He was gathering information which would?be Useful to him or to any other man who wished to serve his country well. And by those who know we have been Informed that not one whit did his official duties suffer from any trips that he might have made. His desk, was kept as clean and he was ex near up to the present with his work as any Secretary bad evor been, and ho was a great deal better off with bis work than most of them. He has never let the work of the people gutter when he was studying- the people and their needs and their ] demands. ., ?j- ?/ v/f.V?.?i PRIMARY REFORM. '- . One of the best things that we havo seen, on t lie question of protecting the primary in tho following from W. H, Wallace,' editor of The Ne wherry Ob eerver: Thp pbserver's doctrine is that ov-| ery democrat 21 years old and white | should be allowed to vote in the prim ary election?once and ohly once. It j also holds that nobody should be al-j lowed to vote under 21 years old. Which means that The Observer does not favor any amendment to the democratic rules as to voting except bhi:?i as wiii secure a fair election. If onutiu; i .....r. .~ .u.r v.ccmc?, means that he wants to cheat. Thero| cau be no alternative to that proposi tion.
