The eyes of the Hinte have for a long time been on thc city, and there had un questionably arisen a serious doubt in Hie minds of thc go?vd and thinking people as to whether .Charleston ni heart really desired to Improve her civic and moral conditions. There have not been wanting signs mid symptoms for some time that a strong and determined undercurrent of revolt was nt work In the city, and Hie result of the election provea that this healthy und vigorous sentiment fur lu.Mor t?'i?igU Y." 5 3 Stronger I ll M (I many of us believed. Charleston bas a tine opportunity to assert the bettor qualities of her citizenship, which have been held in a sort of enforced abeyance for' the past several years, mid the prospect for a more whole some end a purer political and civic atmosphere is fairly bright with promise. All tho stat?) knows that Governor Manning's efforts to enforce law In Charleston, especially nguinst the blind tiger element, have been re markably successful under thc cir cumstances, and lt ls snld on good authority that nearly half this class of lawbreakers are ready to quit and seek moro congenial Holds.

Maj. Hyde's election will have been worse than lu vain if heroes not llvo up to the expectations, people of the statt and inaugurale a new day for tho city he governs. Ills is a big responsibility, and oYnsldo of Charleston ho will be watched with a critical oyo by every citizen who hopea to brr ak down th* uiffe ronces that exist between Chk.*des?oD and the rest of South Carolina. NATIONAL PBEPABEDNESS President. '.Vii?jon ha!) done well to agree upon a tentative program for national defense In keeping with thc needs of tho country. A big army and % navy that covers all tho seas are not needed -to maintain this oountry's position among the world powors, but Ibo United States ought to have a land and sea force sufficient for any reasonable emergency. Wo have a long stretch of coast on both tho At lantic and thc Pacific, and. if our navy should not bo tho largest In tho world IB some claim it should be, it ought to bo stronger than lt ls In fighting units af a modern typo. Evory year congress passes a "pork barrel" appropriation bill, lavishing ?i?iions or dollars on harbors ihat uro seldom honored by a visit from a merchant vessel and on streams that would do well to float a flatboat. If the leak in appropriations of this kind could bo stopp od and . the ninney sav ed could bo applied to building war craft and to equipping an army for [lcfonso, tho governmont would not be taxed an extra Cent1 to bring about the improvement - - . Whtlo other countries aro groaning under the burden"ofsupporting im nonso armies :nnd navies, .wo should bo careful us'a "nation not'to go as for as they baw gone . But wo do need a ^navy blg_'ol???gt? to defend ns against the Invasion ot a combi na lon ot powers and an .army large .'Hough to defend our shores from )ld-world ambition, .and groed. EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN THE EAST For the first tim o tho Eastern states in vi: taken the equal suffrage qnes ton seriously, and In tho approaching dectlon New York,' Pennsylvania, tlassaohusotts and other great com non wealths aro going to decide tho ssue on itu merits."-The voters arc livlded, and in* all. probability the lauso that the women are fighting for .vin be lost But no movement ot -the past gen? nation hes gained as rapidly os the ?use of equal suffrage, and, lt there s no check or reaction against it. mother decade1 "will -sob it in actual oreo in most of the states. In the vest it has worked well, but In' tho iputh there are conditions of a local lature that might give rise to provo loncern for the protection of thc bal ot; The negro question must be on irily solved by the repeal of tho ourtcenth and the fifteenth - amend* nen ta and the ballot restricted abso utely to" the white people before lt rill .become safe to make suffrage ap ?ty universally, here. Tho best iuter ,yts of* tho Southern states and of the iatfen demand-the repeal of these mendments, and other sections of bo country aro ^ccniltrs rapidly to our view as tliey BOC for themselves something ol thc dangers that threat en us. From the standpoint of tho "votes for women" party The Philadelphia North American thus HUIIIR up their creed in a brief statement of prin ciples: "1. Because we arc for D?mocratie government. 2. Because woman's moral in fluence is needed IQ I>U???C Ute. 3. Because modem industrial and commercial life has taken v/oiuun out nf thc protection of the home and she needs tho protection of the ballot. 4. Because we need woman's house keeping instinct in municipal afTr-irs and her home-keeping in matters per taining to children. C. Ilecausc lt is justice." These are sound and reasonable arguments, and it is hard to contro vert them. THE HEADY PISTOL In ono of James Leno Allen's novels thc distinguished author sati rizes thc pistol toting habit In old j Kentucky, and he said thnt the prac tice of carrying weapons to avenge real and fan'ied Insults hud gone so far that a man could not blow his nose without endangering his life. If this humorous Illustration ls ap plied to a case where two men on had terms happen to meet, it might he entirely within the hounds of proba bility. Whenever a homicide takes place, a usual dofenco is to say that thc victim thrust his hand to his hip pocket ostensibly for a weapon. It may be proven that thc dead man, ns a mat tor of fact, did not have a gun in his pocket,- but such is the latitude and liberality granted the defendant In a plea of self-defence that a jury will often acquit him of a murder charge on a flimsy and ridiculous ground Uko this. Pistol toting ls a habit that thc law seoms powerless to break up. Secrecy, of course, is the protection the person enjoys who carries an array of light artillery about him, but In his-power to do harm and to spill innocent blood, there Is no CIOBS ot lawbreakers who can surpass him. Tho brave man does not need a pistol to defend his character. If he is the right aort of man and behaves himself ho can blow bis nose in peaco without fear of hav ing some nearby enemy plug him full of holes. Wcahor Forecast-Qonorally fair Friday and Saturday; gent?o to mod erate oast winds.
