Politics has two sides-the outside and the inside-and some politicians are going to find themselves on the outside next year. The lynching of a negro recently in Kansas is another indication that sec tional lines are gradually being wiped out. _ _ There will probably he an anti-trust plank in the' next Republican ^national platform, but it -willbe used hythe Hanna crowd merely as a good thing to -wipe their feet on. The Administration organs that are tating sides with the English in the .war to crush the South African repub lics are at least consistent. They would be ridiculous tosymp ^hize with the Boers while approving our own ex pansion by armed force. New York enthusiasts have not, up' to the hour of going to press, presented a loving cup to Prof. Sharkey. Their enthusiasm may rush into a different channel this time, resulting in the ele vation of the champion bruiser, Col. Jeffries, to the gubernatorial chair. The discovery by some Spanish jay that, through the ignorance of the Spanish-American peace treaty com missioners, a number of islands in the Philippines and North of Luzon have been left out in this cold world alone grates harshly on? the kind-hearted President, who fondly hoped that the entire brood of a thousand islands was roosting under his ample wing. The country, however, is glorifying in the practical demonstration that in many instances the fruits of ignorance are untold bliss. There' is a popular growing sentiment in favor of municipal ownership of water and light franchises in smaller southern cities. Tb ? claim is made by the advocates of the city's ownership that a saving will accrue to the people of 75 per Wit. over the private owner ship plan, and an annual saving to cities of 20.000 population of an amount sufficient to payjfor the plant. Muni cipal ownership, while very seldom an issue in city elections now, bids fair to become in the near future a live and buming issue. The most oppressive silence reigns upon the mention of the organization of a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. One can almost hear the stars twinkle in their blue vaults while w? pause for some one to take the initiative. The good people here should not delay this matter on account of a leader. We know they cannot feel indifferent on the subject, and, like many other institutions, it can be given an impetus by an inde pendent organization-church or social -or byan impromptu gathering as a nnclens. Let some one, or some or ganization, or some society, or some league take the matter in hand and carry it to successful organization. mt my mm 1 As a proficient mud slinger anc"! irre pressible filth vender, Your Uncle Dan A. G. Oozts would make an excellent candidate for Senator. He has been "blowing off his mouth" for several weeks now, and has maintained a re markable range of vocabulary such that none other than the Hon. B. K. Tillman could ever hope to equal and none to excel. 'Tho knowledge that no one ever reads his and Haselden's lite raray gems, does not deter either of them from flashing their gaudy faces with the unerring regularity of the daily paper. We rise to suggest that Ouzts oppose Tillman for the Senate and open his stink box in the open air. It is too much to impose upon a help less public, a continuance of the pres ent nauseating controversy unless it amounts to something more than mere petty spite and spleen. - 1 ? Umi Old John Sherman, as thc Hamlet of the Republican party, is still starring in Ohio. The old man comes out in an authorized interview to-day denounc ing Hanna and his methods and to morrow denies any knowledge of any i such utterance. He does not omit, 1 though, in his lucid moments, to specu late as to how the "fake reporter*' knew his views so well. Those who know ' the Senator best believe that there is 1 much method in his madness; and how ' well he is succeeding by that method j in thwarting Hanna's ends is being felt perceptibly by the man with the j barrel. Right on the eve of the great , contest, tho most signal light Ohio's ? Republicans have ever waged, the al- j most idolatrous love of a great Slate ; for her honored superannuated states man, humiliated by Hanna and his < gang, is a potent factor in that fierce. \ struggle, and may ride the crest of an , avenging wave. Sherman talks some , mighty good sense for a crazy man. The recent advance in fertilizers is ; calculated to stimulate much inquiry as to the cause and some little specula tion as to tho effect. It will be a diffi- ? cult matter to convince the average man of brains that the handsome pre miums the fertilizer trust were com pelled to pay for si^ck in competing , concerns igures largelv in the advance. I So that in the end the fai mers foot the bills, and arc really out ot their ncces- ' sity, the creators of thc trt'st. In this ? connection we wish to revert to what we said several weeks since in refer- , ence to the effort to form a colton mill trust, in which we asserted that the 1 .'burden of forming such a trust would j surely fall upon the producer of thc raw material as the weaker party "be tween tlie two great commercial mill stones. The salvation pf the country's industrial progress rests* upon the pivotal pillar of open and unhampered competition in all tho trades. Com petiting fertilizer factories are inter ested in selling their products, and to do so, must meet prevailing prices. Competiting milling industries are in terested in the dual object of buying their raw material to the best advan tage and in disposing of their manu factured product in the same woy. By a combination of interests, the com petitive feature o? buying raw material is defeated, the fanner accepts the arbitrary price set by the buyer for the combination, and when he in turn be comes buyer he must pay the arbitrary price demanded for his manufactured cotton or go without it. Let every cot ton market in the State look to it that they are not already entertaining an incipient trust unawares iii the mutual allotting to certain mills stated terri tory sacred against all outside en croachments. There may be other more flagrant abuses and premonitory symptoms demanding notice, but it is hoped that these conditions will right themselves in the face of frowning public opinion. The mutations of latter day political creeds and conditions in South Caro lina are most interesting to casual ob servers and students of men and meas ures. It is Dot a little amusing to watch at this juncture the nervous move ments of the editorial rats casting about in their frantic extremity upon the policy of desertion of thc sinking dispensai*}- ship. Those papers who have been the most blatant and intole rant in their blind advocacy of the dispensary, as it is run, are beginning to get very weak in the knees, and are evidently sorry that they spoke. Many of them, in fact, are lustily crying for a change. What this paper and a few other well regulated journals of the State predicted six years ago. on ac count of which were emptied upon our impious head great demijohns of "fust X*' wrath, is just now being fulfilled. These are merely the rumors of wars. The great tribulation, it is feared, the moral institution will escape on account of the sancity of the shroud, for those same papers who could only see in thc: dispensary thc redemption of fellow man. thc education of the .State's chil dren without a mill's lev}-, and even tually voluntary prohibition, realize now that drunkenness is not the only vice to which weak man falls a prey. They reasoned on the old adage that it takes a thief to catch a thief ; a vice must be nurtured to crush another vice. But the plain outspoken declaration of the Edgefield Advertiser, Senator Till man's quondam mouthpiece, that not until the nefarious machine goes down beneath the breakers, will it cease to weaken in its faith in the dispensary to accomplish good, speaks a volume and may be accepted as a significant utterance, certainly a very creditable if belated one, and one representative of the spirit of the reform press. Say, Mr. Editor: While folks are howling around about this, that and t'other, I'd like to howl a stanza or so about some of the barking already done. Some folks want the .upper Main Street Canyon enclosed with a barbed wire fence; some want to use the thing as ah aqueduct; and some (mainly members of the suicide club) want to keep the thing open at all hours. Now, that's a very small ques tion and can well afford to wait a hun dred years or so, butsay, (just between you and me) that beautiful row of water oaks along Depot Street and just in front of Dave Dooley's shop is get ting in mighty bad shape. Even a casual examination will show that in a few years they will have gone to their reward. The bark is being knocked off of them in a very strange and alarming manner and one that demands instant and heroic treatment. In conversation with the oldestinhabitant this morning, I learned that there are ot her trees just as bad off. He declares that thc cause is that pedestrians will persist in walk ing along that thoroughfare after sun down and, not having a guide, they run up against the trees with their noses, greatly to the detriment of the tree. "Now," suggested the oldest in habitant, "Messrs. .Moore and Acker used to keep a very powerful lamp in their back window that succeeded in running thc gauntlet and piercing the ?ilmost impenetrable flickering and fluttering of the electric dare lamp on the corner, so that a fellow could soo the trei's; but we oughtn't expect them to protect our trees for us all the time. Now, them trees ought lo be boxed; if they ain't-and that pretty quick--they are going to be rooted up some of these dark nights." And I don't know if the old fellow wasn't about half right. The idea has just occurred lome that ip ordci?>to save these tine shade trees, n wicket should be placed at each end ol' the row with watchmen in charge who ure to register each pedestrian seeking entrance and provide him with a miner's lamp and a guide. These last precautions insure equally against col lisions and aimless wanderings and gropings. Bicycles and hack-carriages nave to carry their lamps; why not pedest ria ns? One of t hese barkers was caught this morning at daybreak after a most exciting still hunt timi he should he severely dealt with. He was heard to run up against a tree with his pro boscis at about sixty-eight minutes till eleven and vigilant search was at once instituted. No one could be induced togo into the jungle, so that a still hunt was deemed best suited for the occasion. Just as day was breaking, the fluttering of the dare lamp on thc corner ceased-the current was oil ?md the miscreant was revealed. He had been hiding directly under the lani]) and it is a feather in our vigilant officers' caps that they caught him nt fill. But this has nothing to do with it. Let's have the wickets and guides.
