Republicans in thc middle northern States are coming out .strong for reci procity. Gradually the theory of high protective tariff is being dissipated in this cpontry. Of course the striking machinists will arouse thc sympathies of thc politicians, hut they will gain the re sentment of thousands of workingmen who wiii oe forced into idleness by this ill advised strike. The action of (?ov. McSweoney in reference to the resignations of Sena tors Tillman and McLaurin is meeting with general approval throughout the State. Many citizens from every part of the State wrote him urgent letters * ?? ".et as he did. mm . tm Experts attached to the Department of Agriculture are hopeful of produc ing a hardy variety of orange that will grow in the open nir us far north as New York. The next step should be to in vent a catalogue that wiii ripen about Christmas. Thc citizens of Augusta, Ga., have determined to honor the memory of Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin, by the establishment of a club house named for him. lt will be sit uated on the site of thc first gin erec ted by Invontor Whitney. Tho United States experts figure that the cotton acreage this year is 27,532,000 acres, an increase of over 2,000,000 from last year-the percent age being 8 3 per cent increase. The average condition of thc growing crop is 81 5, as compared with 82'f> on June 1 of last year. Thc bureau states that 81.5, with one exception, is the lowest June condition in 20 years. -- mm ?mm The anniversary of thc birthday ol' Jefferson Davis was appropriately ob served in Atlanta last Monday by tho opening of tho Soldiers' Home of Georgia for Confederate Veterans, forty-one of whom are now sheltered there from tho storms of life. Geor gia's noble oxample is worthy of imi tation by her sister States, and we hope the day is not far distant when South Carolina will have a home for her Veterans. The Abbeville Medium, in conclud ing an editorial on the Tillman-Mc Laurin matter, says: "In the mean time watoh those who aro doing the most talking for McLaurin and in noarly every ease you will find the same old "Anti" crowd that has fought Tillman and the peoplo ever since 1890, and they will be worse cleaned out than they ever were be fore." This is respectfully referred to Editors Hoyt, Gonzales, Carlington, J. C. Hemphill et al. ---- An epidemic of benevolence fills the air in these days, and the infec tion of good will and good deeds is spreading wider and wider. Nothing can resist the progress of gracious in fluence and kindly feeling. It is a remarkable featuro of American life in this generation. Were there ever so many generous givers? Were there ever suoh multitudes of noble men and women eager to use of their abun dant liberal portions for worthy causes and the relief of the unfortu nate? A suggestion has come from a prom inent cotton mill man regarding the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition that is well worth exploiting and should meet with hear ty response from the ootton manufac turers ef the State. This suggestion is to the effect that the "texti'o ex hibit" should bc takon up by cotton mill men and made one of tho grandest features of the great show. South Cnrolina has good reasons to bc proud of her long strides in manufactures, and the fact that over a million spin dles have been added to the total em ployed in the State within a year or two is reason enough for inviting the world to come and see what has been done. By a majority of one the United States Supreme Court has rendered deoisions in two cases with reference to our relation with Porto Rico or probably better to say Porto Rico's rc lation to us. The one is called the Do Lima case in. whieh the Court do cides that after the treaty of Paris, Porto Rico was a part of the United Statea and was not subject to duty, therefore suoh duty must be refunded. The Court holds, though, that it was not unconstitutional of Congress to pass tu? Foraker Act, whioh put a tariff of 15 per cent, on Porto Rican goods t hipped to the United Statos. Therefore, in the Townes oase, in which it was sought to have the tariff refunded, the Court"*sustained the ad ministration, cl aiming that thc govern mein had a ri.L'ht lo collect the tan!l lt is clear that lim Court holds thu the constitution docs not follow th Hag. That is. that Congres* may leg iflatc as it pleases for th?' goverumen of acquired territory, hut th.it in th absence nf such legislation nuch lei ritory is on all fours with other part of the United States. The dccisioi see ?is to put a quietus on the eon lentiou that our new possessions ar; to be governed by the same eonstitu tional laws hy which weare governed however unsuited these laws should b< for governing the.su peuple, lt ts tlx general opinion of many of the ben lawycrs throughout the I'uitcd Stat?; that the decision will become tl?' source of endless mischief and confus ion.
