PROM THE NATION'S CAPITAL. From Our Own Cor responde fit. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 14,1001. Thorn is little doubt that the pub lished abstract of the new Hny-Paunce rote treaty, as allowed to leak ont in thia city; will bc generally satisfactory to the country, though' most Democrat H think it would bo better Bimply to ab rogate the Clayton-Bulwer treaty by Act of Congress aud go ahead ludo- j pendently without any reference at all to British wishes. But it is by no means certain that this abstract fairly represents tho treaty. On the contra ry, there is the best reason to believe that tho latter 1ms not yoe been re duced ta writing and will not be until Lord Pauncefote reaches this city, which he will do carly in November. All that has been done so far ig, it seems, to block out the chief heads of agreement. Further, it is reasonably certain that the two able correspon dents who got a "scoop1' on the treaty did not see even these heads in writing but morely got their news from Borne one who had seen it or who had been told by some ono else who bad seen it. Therefore, with all tho good intentions in the world, it is extremely doubtful that they have been able to give an ab solutely accurate forecast. Everyone remembers the somewhut similar situa tion that obtained shortly before tho former Hay-Pauncefote convention was made public. Some ono pretty close to Secretary Hay gavo out a highly optimistic account of that docu ment. Never, it was asserted, since the morning stars sang together had there boon such a triumph for Ameri can diplomacy; the name of Hay would go down to future ages embalmed with tho great canal work. Everybody re members the result when tho treaty was tinnily published; how it turned out to be such an utter surrender to Britain that even Secretary Hay's own party had to repudiate it. The now treaty may be tho same. Ambassador Chonte is coming home, ostensibly. on vacation, really, it is rumored, to surrender his post, which will be filled by the appointment of either Senator Lodge or Ex-Senutor Wolcott. Mr. Choate, it is snid, is not vigorous enough for President Roose velt. Immediately after tho death of Mr. McKinley, Mr. Lodge hurried to London and had long conferences with Lord Landsdowne, of tho Foreign Abai rs office, in which ho informed tho British Government fully of Mr. Roose velt's wishes lu regard to the canal, thus clearing the subject from tho dis tortion inevitably put upon it by the Anglomania of both Secretary Hay and Ambassador Choate; tho result appears in the treaty so promptly agreed to when Britain found we were in earnest. Mr. Chonte, it is said, is angry nt hav ing been ignored and purposes to leave office. Senator Lodge would certainly prefer to remain in the Senate if ho could become Chairman of tho Foreign Relations Committee, -but this post, it is now definitely decided, will go to Senator Cnlloni. Possibly, therefore, Mr. Lodge may like to go to England. If not, Slr. Wolcott to whom tho Re publicans owe such obligations, will probably receive thu post. The proceedings in the Schlcy case during the past week, have, on the whole, beon less favorable to the Ad miral. Neglect to take steps to demol ish the batteries at Cionf ncgos or to move .vigorously to ascertain whether or no the Spanish ships were there, seem to have been proved. It is argued that if Captain McCalln could com municate with tho insurgents in tho first place, there was no reason why Schley should not have don? tho snme, ! despite the appurentlv studied neglect i to inform him of tho signals agreed upon. .Uso, the evidence seems to demonstrate that there was no need for him to sturt for Key West for coal; this, however, will probably bo cleared up when the defense gets a chance. The insinuation by one witness that Schley was personally afraid is simply too ridiculous to discuss. At last, au official statement has been made in regard to the disease with which Admiral Sampson is Butlering. It is a form of "aphasia," a complaint which attacha both tho memory and the speech. A patient suffering with it will talk along, thinking that he is saying certain words, when as a matter of fact, he is saying'nothing but gib berish. Further, he will be convinced that he remembers things that ns a matter of fact, do not, and did not ever, exist. The worst of it is that the Navy Department admits that Samp son has been suffering with this since long before the Spanish war, and that it was growing upon him all tho time, the attacks increasing in frequency. It is well known in the Navy that he had such a severe attack shortly after th? battle cf Ja!j ord. that Admiral WBison, (who, though his sonior, was his second in command) at onetime almost decided that he would have to call a medical board to pass upon his condition, with the certainty that it would order him home as physically unfitted to active service. These facts might servo to clear up some of tho charges against Admiral Schley if they were not excluded from consideration by the Court. T There is little doubt that the day of the Southern delegate in Republican conventions is past. The Payne plan of having representation there propor tioned to the party vote in each State instead of tc the total population (which practically permitted the negro delegates to dictate the Republican nominee) was to have been adopted by the last national convention and would have been, but for the personal oppo sition of President McKinley, who con sidered that he, as unopposed candi date for the nomination, would bo tak ing an unfair advantage by consenting to- disfranchise the negroes who had elected him for tho first time. The plan was therefore allowed to go over ti!! l&Oi, despite the fact that a ma ?ority of tho convenci?n then favored t, but it will undoubtedly bo taken up i when the next convention neets. Mr.1 Payne has been here conferring w?th : Mr. Roosevelt about it alid ia under stood ha? secured bis approval. The new plau is that udoptedin practically all State conventions, whero the conn - ties are represented according- to party strength and not total population. 1 will do away with the mercenary negro ..patriot" who han al way H been so much in evidence in Republican conventions and make way for tho cleaner i.^rty that Mr. Roosevelt, like Mr. McKinlay, ia trying to build up in the South. while no formal opinion in regard to the* proposed Pad he ruble has been rendered by tho Attorney Geneinl, it ie understood that he hulda that no gov ernmental action is necessary io au thorize the landing of any cable on American soil. The company, accord ingly, wilt go ahead, hoping to get so much accomplished before Congress meets-that it will not be possible for that body to vote a subsidy to another corporation fordoiug what the present company wishes to do without pay. Portman Letter. The completion of tho atone work here is not far distaut. Thia work ia the dam summing the Seneca River at tho point of what was "Portman Shoals," about ll miles west of the city of Anderson. The power is owned by the Anderson Water, Light and Power Co., and is utilized in furthering the progression, not only of the city but the County of Anderson. Among other notable men of tho County who aro executives, Dr. S. M. Orr, eminent in hiB medical profession, is President of the Compnny. The Doctor and President is a brother of tho noted Col. James L. Orr-first in peace or war and respectfully first in the hearts of his workmen nt his ex tensive cotton mills, Piedmont, 8: C. The construction at Portman is not "great" in the science of store airhi tecture, but it is great us the demanda of the county require, aud as nothing is moro destructive to a body neutral or animate as wasted energy, the Com pany possibly pledge themselves that not even 1 candle power shull be wast ed, while enough to glow Bartholdi st nt us from Anderson to Charleston shall be forthcoming at the request and dollars-of the inngnnniniotis peo ?ile. Great is electricity! And Julius ?aesar, perhaps ?it wns who, while struggling for the iirst-cmporship nt Rome, said while passing through n small village iu the Alps: "I had rather be the first roan in this place thau the second at Rome." So it is with the electric company; since they must perforce bo degrees beneath first in the matter of famous construction, they will in this littlo village of Port man he emperors in power thnt is not . second throughout tho world. Another great "first" added to the prededing is that this piece of con struction at Portman has within fifteen months or so supplied perhaps 80,000 daily, salaries, or salaries for so many men-a fow families and children in cluded. This ia no small reformation, supplying; food for so many. The best men lacking sustenance, nt the point of death, would become thieves morally, or maniacs physically, tho worst, ?ap plied with foou and a comfortable sys tem, might be induced into the highest mysteries of Christianity. Discourse as we may, the bodily necessities of man must be supplied. Without food, man, carnivorous in all species, would soon become cannibalistic; or-his den tal arrangement rearranged into the graminivorous, when, like Nebuchad nezzar, King of Babylon, peculiarly isolated from food, would "eat grass as oxen." The food supply of the weld was tho problem that bewildered the English statistician. Malthus. Should popula tion mngnify the human family in tho future as in the past-from whence food? Food! food! was the cry. The outlook was wierd und ghostly. Theo ries as to the digestibility of trees and their foliage spread through tho mathe matician's brain. The people would stand so closely together that a man could not handle a hoe without putting out his neighbor's eyes. Were this sort of Malthus continued t hero would, no doubt, be another sort of Franklin who. with kite or backet, would be drawing food ft om the sky: ?at wo have survived tho scare, and aro doing very well on beef, mutton, chickens, bacon, Hour, mnuy vegetables, fruits, and j im-cracks in the wnyof spices and confections. . Ibis food thought introduces, also, another: That ministers and priests of and for tho gospel-like Christ, of and for tho people-should seek by all moans to impress upon their congrega tions that sinners before being con verted inuot be fed. lt is almost im possible to envere to good deeds the mau whose r .omach is raging liken ravening wolf. It would seem that whom1 Sntan would possess he would first make hungry. Madam Roland, vic tim of the French communism, said: "O Liberty, what crimea are committed in thy name!" But no idealist or statisti cian haa undertaken the enumeration of crimes said to have been committed in tho name of hunger. The sea, were it an ink well, would run dry and tho earth as a scroll would be abridged in in inditing the. crimes, tho extent of the pangs, and the names of tho multi tudes who dragged themselves and others to death and destruction through tho inf! ce ncc of hunger. Christ, we believe, never tried to convert a hun gry man-He first fed the multitude. About His firat introduction into bibli cal history ia a feast whero we find Him with people who were appeasing Hun 6or, and His last companionship with Lia people waa where He asked them, "children, have ye any meat?" (or food) and at this same pathetic fare well, but not until Peter and tho disci - flos had dined, he asked the wayward eter for a confession ot' his faith: "Simon Peter, lovest thou mel" Then receiving from Peter's satisfied body and thankful soul a hearty confession, tho Saviour bade tho disciple: "Feed my lambs, feed roy sheep." Be the command spiritual, material, or both, tho Saviour knew that a child or man who could have a hungry soul waa also susceptible to a hungry body. So blessed' ia food that Christ bleat tho meal before ho brake bread; and that ia the royal insignia to-day of tho Christian household-thoy "give thanks" at the breaking, or partaking of bread. The prayer, "give ua this day our daily bread," ia quito of ten Intended to be answered by another than the man who prayed. A man may work and work and pray, and unless he is paid for h io labor ho must go hungry und the promise of God bo made of no od'ect through tho dishonesty of a sci fl>li uinn. When a mun has no money, h it otters his daily labor for daily lieud, it should be considered it crinia of thu Stute tn permit this manto go hun gry or to punish him for the offense ho muy commit in procuring this daily bread. That u mun is willing to work and otters bis work should be account ed to bini for money, and the person who willingly declines theother*g labor a? prie-- ?? bieud sliould himself bo held liable for the misdemeanor of thc hungry man. Instead of libraries, why cannot some wealthy man build monuments of hon est labor for men: that the laborer, worthy of his hire, shall have his daily broad? There is fu* more probability that a child reared in thu luxury of wholesome food shall engage himself; in books when grown than shall thc starved, pinched, fretted, mouse-peok cd* frightened creature who only grows to wrest from the world what was do nicd him, and who shall sooner learn to pick a lock than to carry a book. Rarely do intelligence and starvation progress in tho same b9<l7, ami mop, tq be intelligent men, must as children i>o fed, cared for und clothed; intelligence? then, as natural to tho human intellect; ns warmt h to the body will be that broad, relined, useful quality, instead of the measured, narrow, sharp,. tricky, deceiving meanness which is a reflection on its youth and a disgrace to its manhood and old age. la writing this letter, reference ha? flitted from one thing to another, but the mental undertone is that poor men who have nothing but then labor should be hired and paid liveable wages, and there shoald oe bureaus of labor information in the South where idlo men might apply by letter or per son and receive employment; and the introduction of machinery should not BO pitifully cut off man's manual labor from use and hire. As . well out off a man's hands as eut off from him the labor ho can perform with his hands and wherewith he earns his daily Inm ost bread. R. R. L. ??? . o mmm>> i Tribute of Reside! te Mrs. NvweK. At a meeting of the Board of Trus tees, hold Saturday afternoon, Oct. nth, Superintendent Walton officially an nounced tho death of Mrs. Mildred E. Nowell, ono of the teachers in the city schools. Tho chairman appointed a committee, composed of Dr. S. M. Orr, Mr. J. A. Brock and Supt. Thoa. C. Walton, to prepare a suitablo memorial to her memory. The following was presented to the Hoard by the commit tee, unanimously adopted by a rising vote, and ordered spread upon apago of the minute book set apart to her. memory, and printed in the city papora, and a copy Bent to the sons of the de ceased : IN MEMORIAM. On Saturday, September 28th, Mil dred E, Nowell, a teacher in the city schools, was cared from labor to rest. It is a source of pleasure, though a melancholy one, to render this tribute to tho worth of our departed teacher. There is no grander theme for the eulo gist than tho life of a faithful teacher, nono can be more rich in desert, or more fraitfa! is paulie advantage. The tree teacher must know and she must love to teach her pupils not only the meager elements of knowledge, but the secret nod the use of their own intel lectual strength, exciting and enabling them hereafter to raise for themselves the veil which covers the majestic form of Trnth. She must feel deeply tho rev erence duo to tho y on thf ul mind, fraught witth mighty though undeveloped energies, and affections, and mysteries and eternal destinies. Herlif? may not glitter with the blaze of noonday noto riety, nor her coming be heralded by the shouts of the populace, but the faithful teacher's work will last when the ephemeral glow of the hour's hero shall have been forgotten. Wo love to contemplate the heroism of troops in battle, snatching the bauble, reputa tion, oven from the cannon's mouth. But thera is another army, whoso high mission is to save, and whose warriors are the daughters of oar native land. Oar women nave exemplified the most ninrvolous prowess in many fields, es pecially where endurance -~d faithful ness aro tho characteristics, so it ha* been well said of her: "Sho when apostles shrank could dan gers brave, Last at tho cross and earliest at tho grave." In the field of human endeavor where tho sweet relining influence must bo felt, woman stands pre-eminent. She has a special adaptability for the train ing of tho young. The purity of her lifo is a lasting picture before tho eyes of her pupils, In after years, when tho conflict has fiercely raged, and contending passions have striven for the mastery, many a tempted soul has remembered the patience his teach er taught him and hns taken fresh courage to perform tho task committed to his care. Her presence causes those of the sterner sex: to feel the nobility of their profession and her enthusiasm sets ablaze the sluggish blood of her brothers. Trials and perplexities shall often besot the path or the faithful teacher, disappointment and sorrow await her coming but the issue of the combat can not be questioned for: "Tho f mit shall in its time appear, The tender blade, the st*Ifc, the ear." We can pay no higher eulogium to our friend than to Bay that she was a true wem tn, a devoted mother and a faithful teacher. As her pupils have ever been her roost devoted friends, let her latest benediction rest upon theil* heads, that they may themselves realize and tell to others: "Sho allured to brighter worlds and led tho way."
