William Woolsey, a Maryland far nier, has just died and left $50,000 to his county to build good road.*. Th< re is a tine opening for some practical philanthropist like this in most any dd county in South Carolina. mm- m The Supreme Court has nverscd the decision of Judge Beuel in the Ncal case and 11..- ex .>V.p.;rinlcudoiit of the penitentiary will i. .vc i" go on trial again mi t he ch.u ! failure to turn over fund.- tu his .accessor. 1'i'uir State legislatures are stiii in llio throes id' senatorial election:;, Oregon. Montana, Nebr.i and Del aware. These deadlocks arc doing mue h towards linking ihc people de maud the election of Senators by a direct v<>te. The appointment of Kitzhugh !<ec to be a Brigadier General in the regu lar army has the hearty approval of the whole country. President Me Kinlcy could not have selected a bet ter man for the position. Gen Lee is a trained soldier and very .popular with the army element. m - Acting under the advice ofjhis phy sician, Mr. W. II. Wallace has been forced to resign his position as editor of the Greenville AVir* and will re turn to his old home. No wherry. Mr. Wallace is a bold, fearless, fluent writer, one of the ablest editors of the South Carolina press, and \vc hope he j will soon he restored to good health 1 and re enter the held of journalism. ! Mr. Wallace is succeeded by Mr. John A. Morose, formerly of Charleston, who has been engaged in newspaper i work in Si-w York and in Richmond, and he. will no doubt keep the A'* f.* up to its former standard of excellence. A striking illustration^?!' ei I her the ; carelessness or ignor?iicenf the Amer- j ican people i-; furnished by tin'an nual report of the operations of the dead letter cilice. Nothing, perhaps, indicates more elearly than does the j report of the operations of the dead letter office one of the worst national | traits or weaknesses. The American people are surely careless, and whether this is due to the rush and hurry of their ovcry-day life or to faults in the system of education cannot be told - off-hand. Undoubtedly both causes contribute to the result. Again, many people take it for granted that the government, having undertaken to carry the mail, will sec to it that let ters and parcels arc delivered at their destination, evcu though the address may be faulty in some respects. The stories that come from China of tbo looting of Peking and other cities by the allies nnd the wantou cruelty practiced by some of them arc not pleasant reading. It was hoped that they were utterly untrue. Doubt less they have been much exaggerated, but they come with sogrcat persistency that it is difficult to escape the con clusion that tbero is altogether too much truth in them. It may be said, however, to the credit of the American soldiers, that they did not to any ap preciable extent i idulge in the plunder ing and in none of the acts of brutal ity which have been reported, purlieu larly on the part uf the Kassians. If but a hundredth part of tbo shocking barbarities alleged to have been prac ticed by the Russian soldiery be true, it indicates that the Muscovite is quite us much in need of civilizing the Mongolian. j It was predicted some time ago that the Republicans?or a portion of then; -wonhi bo likely soon to take steps to redU20 the tariff on some of the schedules in the Dingley bill, hav ing been driven to admit that their only present, availability was to enable the manufacturer to charge extortion ate prices at home, while ho sold bis surplus abroad at only a small profit. It was not hoped thai any large propor tion of that party would conic over to the D uiocrutio position that the tariff ought to be abolished on articles made by trusts. This, bowevc . has now been acceded to by Representative Babcock, of Wisconsin, Chairman of the Republican Congressional Com mitten in t\\t> \ntt p.i?-*?.\m Its introduced a bill to repeal the duties on steel and iron goods, with the de clared object of sinking a blow at the new trust in that line. Of course, since Mr. Babcock knows, and every body else knows, that thero is no chance that Congress will take any action on the tariff at this session, and but little that it will interfere at all as long as the Republicans remain in power, his bill merely serves to show that he- stands shoulder to shoulder j with the Democrats in tin ir desire to adopt this, the only apparent method of fighting tbo trusts, although ho insists that hois nota convert to COLUMBIA LKTTKIt.
