A Thracian robber hound was sent, To Alexander in his tent, Who, with a quick, discerning eye, Pro judged him doomed by Fnto lo die. Then gazing sternly in his face, He cries. "Thou robber pest of Thrace, Thy destiny I seal this day, What for thyself hast thou to say Thc lobber said with visage bold. "My captors have tho truth well told, For since 1 came lo agc of man, l'vo robbed and led a robber clan. Ihttwhilo I've robbed and would rob now, A greater robber far art thou ! Whose legions o'er Hie weak prevail And kill and rob on larger scale. Few are tho victims of my hand. but thine are seen in every land: before thy mandi arc holds in green, behind, a desert waste is seen. Thy slain thou blood) son of Mars, Arc as unnumbered as the stars. And if ono death atones for me, Ten thousand deaths will md for thee." .Sahl Alexander in sui lu ise, "Thy occupation I despise, lint ono so true, and yet so brave. This baud of mine I stretch to save. Since I'm a robber like thyself, inspired, as thou, by evil elf, 1 break thy chain, and sci thee free. To go, or come, and nd? with mr." Thc choice he made when free again. ls not revealed lo mortal ken: If habit I ix i's human trait, He robbed, and mot a robber's fate. When Alexander, called The deal, Subdued the world beneath his feet. Ho wept with a convulsive sol), For want of other worlds to rob. Then took his course towarri sci of sun.

Mr. Bryan's Chancos. Washington Post: Assuming that lion. William J. Bryan will bo tho Domocrntio liominoo this year, and th oro sooms littlo doubt of it at tho prosont moment, lol us east his hor?scopo, so far as that may bo possible in tho light before us. Tho campaign is olose at hand. Within four months both tickets and platforms will ho before tho pooplo. Wo all recall tho circumstances of 18??. What will ho tho situation and what tho prospects in this year of our bord MOO. Pour years ago Mr. Bryan stood for what many rcgarced as a propaganda of anarchy. Tho silver plank in tho Chi cago platform, which was, unfortunately for the Democrats, mado tho most con spicuous and threatening foaturo of tho conflict, enabled tho pnatois und organs of Ute capitalistic combinations of thc country to proclaim that Bryan's suc cess meant "dishonest money," "the degradation of tho dollar," and the "robery of tho bornoy-handod son of toil." What dreadful pictures were drawn of tho consequences of Democra tic success, it is now impossible to ade quately describe. Tho wreck of enter prise and industry, the ruin of tho poor man, the extermination of agriculture, ?md thc dawn of tho hell-born carnival tbeso wore only a few of the grewsoine prospects dangled before the eyes of tho ignorant and timid voter. Newspapers ranted about thc "50cent dollar," stump meakers brayed and howled over tho in famy of paying the. laborer only half his wages. Pensioners, persons depending ipon limited annuities, all tho swarms tf the salared, were told that they tut ored on tho brink of penury. Never ,vas there so simple and so sharply de nied an issue, and never was tho oppor tunity for blatant omi insensate outcry so inviting. Wc all tcmombor how it .nded. But what a difference now! Th J Hc mblicans themselves have deliberately omoved tho bugaboo of free silver from heir property room. Tho enaction of helaw fixing tho gold standard as part >f our national policy makes silver coin igc impossible for tit least six years to mino. No manufacturer or capitalist Ol' ?real merchant or employer need bo lightened into heavy contribution to ho Republican campaing fund. Were lil yan to bo chosen President next No vember, and were a Democratic house o he elected simultaneously, tho peril of rec silver, like that of free trade, would io no nearer . more real than it is ?it his moment. There would still bo a najority in the Senate capable of pre t'enting either calamity, ?md no power at .he disposal of the executive to over mine tho obstacle. Those two grisly light mares no longer throng tho atmos phere. No ono outside of nurseries ind asylums can now bo frightened by bose buckram spooks. On tho other hand, what strength luis ho Republican party gained to ofl'sot his loss of weakness by tilt? Democracy? v*ory little, we fear. Tho splendid and iticccssful conduct of tho war with ?Spain luis been sadly clouded by tho ?cand?is of mismanagement and fa vor it sin, which attended that glorious eon annulation. The course of the admin stratum with reference to ('nba and thc 'hilippincs has lost, the party many dont and potent friends. The strange tobey recently adopted toward Porte tico has outraged practically tho entire lotintry. Thc llay-Paunccfoto treaty ias still flirt her i inpaired Mr. McKinley's . restige, and the rumored purpose ol he President to compel its ratification viii, if it should bc realized, not only liscrodit tho government, but bring con ompl and odium upon the party. In ti void, tho situation, ?is it sooms to us, b ar moro favorable to Mr. Bryan and fal ess so to Mr. McKinley than it was foin /cars ago. What will happen within tho next sb noiiths it is not tor us lo prophesy. \\ > leal with the facts as they aro at Mi ii nnmcnt. In our opinion, the Kepublieai .arty has lost ground lo ?in alarming ex ,011 ( within tho past three months. Its bes 'rionds and ablest exponents have liol icen able to ox plain tho betrayal of ou ?alional integrity involved in tho Hay I'auncefoto treaty, or to defend tho ba? faith and cruelty in vol veil in our trent mont of Porto Pico. Wo say nothing o tho stupid mismanagement in Cuba am Ibo Philippines, the ugly and appal li ll] uispicions cu rion t with roforenco t loth (hem .nd Porto Pico. Having ir eorlainty, wo speak no word. But w issert, without fear of contradiction Dial tho Ml ministration is daily losin; si rength on ?ill these scores, ami wo know for a certainty, thousands of men win four years ago, regarded Mr. Bryan wit Lorrin' and aversion, now consider hil favorably as tho lesser of two evils.

Tho facts aro : This morn ing Guard I tarling went out in charge of a gang of fivo convicts to do some work on a small trnot of land which thc penitentiary has leasod near tho city HmitB.

Tho others then used the rako handles with which to beat the guard and Convict Abo Haughton, of Kdgefield, seized the riflo tho guard hnd dropped. Mr. Hailing tried to pull himself loose. Meanwhile Haughton attempted to use tho rillo and shoot thc guard. While he was fumbling with the rille, trying to uso it, Mr. Marling managed to get away from those who held him, and got his hand into his hip pocket, pulled his pistol, bred at Haughton, who had the lille, and killed bini instantly. This, ten i lied the other negroes and they all ran as hard as they could. Mr. Hai ling picked up the rille and shot Dick Burton, hitting him under the arm. Burton, as soon as struck, yjavo tip and two others also surren dered.

While we have heard compara- | I ively few of our poo plo speak on 11 he'subject, yet wo do not now recol lect to have heard anybody express i ?nisei f as opposed to the possession d tin1 islands. .lust now Senator del.auria seems to lill a bigger place n the minds of the people than any ?ne else, and is more thoroughly en lorsed than ever before. Ile has tarnest supporters hereabout, and we lo not remember of having heard a ingle man say that he was opposed o his re-election, while, if wi' err int, every man who has mentioned lis name would support his re-clec iou.

In this instance, as in the ease of irevious acquisition of teri'tory, nany good men were opposed to the ixtcnsion of tho territory, but the icople to-day, like the people on iccnsion of former additions of terri ory, are settling down in the con 'iction that, the expansion in this in tanco is right, and that they would ustain the government in holding ni to all the territory over which our lag Moats.-Abbeville Press ami bmner. ?o ^v. e? i? o TV T w. loarstho /) Ino Kimi Yon llavo Aiw.iys Roiylil There is at least one sensible farmer li South Carolina.
