' ? | if Wilson's \ lews. i Ihe Abbeville I'rcss and Ban or has a peculiar way of saying ( tilings It luis a style all its own. In regard to thu federal appoint- j meats in this state, Bditor Wil-j son delivers the following: i41'he of South Carolina has no Republican representation in congress and the president lias to depend upon the advice of the Dem ier.itit* repi CBentatiros or he j governed by tbo chairman of the; state Republican committee. ' For a time our congressmen were anxious te strve their c?n-1 lititueuis by securing for them ! *t.n I ?-- t - - 'I tuv <.i/>cinu |M it*k III IUH hlltipV OI nice appointments. The senior senator commenced t# use his pitchfork mm Cleveland, and has wot since then ijuite laid bj his hav rake. Tillman s manners ho ing repulsive, he has been able to secure hut little for South Care Hna " Hie juuior senator, being of a different manner, secured the ear ! ef the president, and he has dene more f?u his constituents than was ever don .1 before. '* I'licn, ?>f course, it was a ease of sour grapes, and something nist ho done to do&trov MLcLaurin'?? political standing with his people at homo. Because McLauria was successful in appointing good tucu to office, he must be declared a Republican?the fact that be had more influence at Washington tlmn bis associates was all that was necessary to prove Wis disloyalty to the Democratic party. "When facts could not be had, insinuations took the place of need- f cd fa.Is. The fact that McLuurin ! voted with two-thirds of the sen i ate to ratify the treaty of j eaee was enough to prove t Wat lie was a Re-; publican. "The fact that he was wi11 iu<r to strengthen the navy and mer-1 chant marine of this country was j proof conclusive that McLuurin L wu- too sensible a man to remain!, in the Democratic party. ! | "Hut, collectively, we have j, heard of no man who has charged j < anything to him for resenting the' ;*ec??it insinuations of his colleague, i f Mcf jiiurin has lost nothing l>v tln?

MeLaurin is not the most i f sagacious politician in the conn-1 try, but ho is much nearer right 1 t than many persons are inclined V> believe. llo is a much better man in every respect than his * enemies would have the world helievc In point of ability he! is far superior to any one of the j aorde that are hounding his loot-1 steps. if any man in the stale I minims more ability we have notL hpurili-! it I' ? : ... ii .iiman i> ni| clearer thinker or a more logical i ? | (J writer. lie has not yet furnished ' the proof. As a hulldny.er, Mr. j ; Tillman is far a head of Mcl/m- r in. As a reasoner who brings j facts to prove his assertions, Mi.

Beet sugar hud few hank ?rs smon* the politicuns when the Bght opened, but tie long reach and staying <pialities have changed thinp* and now th?

The idea, cabled frena Berlin, ' that Germany expected < tic re~ | suit of Princo Henry's visit to be our consent to the establishment of German naval stations in the West ladies, found no favor in Congress. So, if Germany put it out for n feeler, it can consider the answer "no," with the biggest kind of N Senator Stewart said, apropos f the Isthmian Canal muddle, which has only bsea cleared a little tiny hit by the report if a subcommittee against the Pan an a purchase: "Instead ef taking money t? build a canal, 1 would construct a four track, uir-lin* railway across tho continent from Chesapeake Hay to Sa? Frnneisoo. 1 would have the lino as straight as possible and also do away with all possible grades. I would have the load under government control and would arrange! that the tracks could ho used by all railroads upon the payment of the least sum which would meet perating expenses. Such a read would not only develop our own country but wovld make a canal unnecessary." Not a few uion in Congress drew breaths of relief when it whs officially announced that Miss Alice Roosevelt would not go to the coronation of King Edward. A emu her of them had told tlio President Irons the tirst that it would be a very impolitic thing for him in allow her to go. Senators and Representatives arc repeating a few remarks made | by Prince Heury, while he was j in Washington, to one of hit* now American friends, which show him in a new light, especially to those who imagine that the life of j i Prince must, be a sort of cirthly 1 heaven. The Prince said" "I j 1111 having the time of m life, j Vou see, they don't make ho much' >f me over in Germany. Over here they use me to attend funerals.

' Greenville News. The Columbia State think* that Senator Til la* .in mad* a "teachnical hlunder" in limiting hi* charge against McLautin to his vota on the Spanish l'reuty and th:nk? he should have had his wits about him and made a wholesale ehar.-e covering all of MoLaurin's rotes for *eea?ui*s supported bv the administration ? a kind *?f drug I net, so to speak, bv the u?e of which he would haw at least had i a better chance of catching something. The inspiration of this advice is quit* clear. Evervb<d\ knows ?oven The .State knows that other Democratic senators besides Mc Laurie veted for the ratification of the treaty, und that the arch priest of L'opulistic Democracy, Willium .lenaings B van himself, strongly urged the ratification open precisely the motives influencing MeLaurin when he cast Ida vote. McLnnrin's vote was no mote the deciding vote than the vote of other Democratic senators, and it is highly proba hie that Bryan's advocacy of such net ion had not a little to do wiiii bringing about tin* result. It would be extremely awkward therefore for the charge of im proper influence in this particular vote to by sustained. The State realize- this und thinks Tillman should huve uuidc Ins charge more general so as to take in McLanrm's support of the BhilliimneV* 1*511 ? n/1 l*5_. ' Tillman knows a! 1 this, lie ba> i nol blundered, either teaehnicaily or otherwise in the game ho i> playing. He knows too well that the records of the Senate show that t>y actual count in matters where personal interests might have been at stake and influence exerted he, Tillman, has voted with the Republicans far oftener than McLaurin. The record has been published ued Tillman will not dare to deny it. I I|>|MIIU n dill mill 111 Iirivuuncy Ol ' the shipping hill. As to the ' Philippines bill McLnnrin's attitude tow*I'd it one way or another w ?uld not affect the result | und to oppose the hill with the sole idea of hampering the government, as Tillman has done? would not only he the height 'of inconsistency, but would he simply silly. As to McLanrin's support of the Shipping hill, again'he 1-; net the only Democrat who believes that a great American u ?reliant marine would save millions of dollars annually to the producers of this country, prominent among which come the cotton producers of the South. Ppon the question of party fealty involved, ii is an indisputable fact that the subsidizing .of American ships has been a party principle of the Demon-rat ie party for titty years and that the unlv period in the history of the country during which an American foreign shipping flourished was (luring the period when the Demo* cractih party built it up and supported it by means of a govern-, ment subsidy. Vague and un reasoning opposition to the administration in opposition to the administration in power irrespoc* tiro of the intrinsic merit of the measures in question, or of the i interests of the t?outhoiu people is not our '(inception of fealty to the Democratic ]>arty. Ii may be fealty to llryanisn and i'opu- ! lism, hut these "isms'1 am late! and unhealthy grafts upon the I good old Democratic -foe'., which 1 i wo hope in the wisdom of kind : Providence will not forever un-l cumber the earth. A wholesale charge, therefore, ! of improperly influenced votes, ! ami consequent lack of fealty to \ the Democratic party, against) MeLaurin upon the fact* would not hold water any liettar than in the case of his vote on the treaty. .
