Now York and brooklyn aro now hav ing to contend with a strike of conside rable magnitude from tho operatives of Ibo rapid transit lines of tho city, and hundreds of policemen uro constantly called into sorvico to quoll alleged dis turbances from tho strikers, lt soonis tho strlkors have much sympathy from tho public. Tho Homo Mission Hoard of tho .South ern Haptist. Convention, in session in At lanta, Ga., yesterday elected V, lb Korfoot, 1). 1)., as Corresponding .Secre tary of that hoard ko succeed I. T. Tichonor, 1). I). Dr. Korfoot has for years been a profo> sor in tho Haptist Seminary at Louisville, Ky. lt now seems that Kentucky Demo crats aro to realize some of tho troubles that .South Cand?na ln.c gone through with in tho last few years. At a conven tion held recently Goobel was nominated for Qovornor after a bitter contest. Now meetings aro being called by Hie anli Goohol Democrats to enter protests against lils nomination ami to discuss putting another ticket in the Held. SECRETARY OF WAR RESIGNS. On yesterday it was officially an nounced that Cen. bussell A. Alger had resigned his position as Secretary of "W ir in the Cabinet of President McKin ley, to take olToct at the pleasure of the President. This notion on the part ol' Honorai Alger will bring few tears from the public, lt is what ought to li.:vc been forced upon him many months ago. No man in public life has had as many and serious charges of jobbery made against them as have been laid at. thc door of Con. Aljjor. While the adminis tration has successfully had him and his conduct whitewashed, Hie public believes that, he is responsible for many lives of soldiers serving their country. There can bo little doubt of the fact thal the food ho furnished tho anny was un healthy ami deleterious to their health. Tho public will hail with delight his re tirement from the Cabinet. THE NEWS UNRELIABLE. There an; no more intelligent and brave people under tlia sun (han tho citizenship of tho United states. They cannot ho over-elated nor dejected hy truthful news from the war in the Philip pines. Why there should bo such a censorship exercised over the press as to allow only such matters to be sent lo tho United States as snits General Otis, we cannot conceive Again, we can see no ?jood reason for deceiving this people as to the true state of affairs in the Island of Luzon, where our troops are stationed. A number of reporters for the proas petitioned to General Otis for permission to cable home (he truth of our condition ami thc facts as they transpired. This petition was refused and we aro blandly told by tho 1'resident. that he will not over rule General Otis. We s v to our patrons that the news from tho Philippines is utterly unreliable, because if is sent to us only as General Otis wants it sent. A LAWYER'S LICENSE RECKED. The man who knows ri^ht, can do right, hut won't do 1 i^lit, ought to be made (o do righi or not do at all. This motto, it seems, brought trouble to G. W. M. Williams, of Denmark, barnwell county, a few days since. Tho bar of tho county had him np before Judge benet to show cause who his license tn practice law should not be revoked for immoral conduct and evil doing, ami thc Court the. other day handed down a de cree disbarring tho gentleman. This is the first lim.- in a long while that so harsh a mcasu-c has been re sorted to in this State, but from the comments of sonni of the editors il is not tho only time that il should have been resorted to, and we feel sure that it is not. the last time, unless moro honora ble conduct, is maintained. !! may ho necessary for a fow more men to follow Williams out of the profession to correct ovils existing. Unless lawyers conduct themselves as honest men, they should re?oive their walking papera. COMPLETION OF THE STATF H'.USF. Mindi is hoing said in thc newspapers these, days in advocacy of the completion of tho Stain Ifouse according to tho original plan. There is no one, we presume, who would not be delighted to see that mag nificent structure completed. ll Would ho the pride of Hie. State and an orna ment to ('olumbia. Can wo complete it now'.' is thc ques tion. It takes money to do thc class of work that is designed for that building. Some have said that it can bc completed without i nor caning the taxes, li so, lot it bo Finished without delay. Wo do not believe il can he done, without a conside rable increase in tho lax levy. H is argued that ??">0,(KHi t<, >:u(>,(HMt will do the work. This wo Iud i o ve au underestimate, lt" it docs not consume more than double that amount we will he agreeably disappointed. If tho work is lo he undertaken by all means do not deceive the (ax-payers. Let them understand fnll.y what is lo he tho cost. Wo woro told thal (denison and Kock (lill Colleges could he. mu without any additional tax, hut we have found that to he a great mistake. It would be an error lo make an appro priation noxt year to bogin tho work on tho Stale House and then have the next session of the Goncral Assembly with hold tho next appropriation. This is not unlikely if the people are gotten into this enterprise without realizing what it will coat. Tho best, way is to come put and ask tho peoplo in an open and manly way to do the work with a full understanding of bs magnitude and cost, ami in our opinion tho work might bo done.

Tu . jr made a public address in thc Coi rt House last night, in which "tho races" figured largely. Ho lauded tho white race. His conclusion was that t hc race was capable of the highest and noblest ol' deeds, but was sometimes guilty tif thc lowest anti meanest of deeds. Lynching was largely comment ed upon, but. unfortunately he. neglected to say that lynching was the natural and necessary effect of crimes which wero voluntary and unnecessary, anti that tlw ciiuse must cease or tho effect will follow inevitably. Criticism of lynchers has a tendency to lil lilli pl y anti aggra vate future cases. Kfforts to provent "thc cause" may do lunch good. Bishop Turner is a native of this county.
