Cooma Aiken's ?ML X Strong ?nd Clear Cutlontrast or the Principles ef the Repub lican ema Democratic Parties. Following is ?\fali report of the ad mirable specoh delivered by Congress man Aiken at the campaign meeting at Anderson oe Wednesday # July 20 : Mr. Chairman : It is with pleasure that I return to you, my fellow-citi zens, to thank you for the honor con ferred upon me. You are the arbiters of my official conduct, and it ie for you to say whether or i .ot I haye serv ed you satisfactorily. That I have served you faithfully and conscien tiously I have the answer of an ap proving conscience ; but it is up to you to say whether or not thia service has been acceptable, and whetb jr our compact shall bo resewed. In the language of Diekens, I assure you "Bakius is willing." I wish to subserve the best interests of my peo pie in all things, even to the extent of acoeptiog renomination. , Before touching on suoh questions as aro be fore tho politioal parties to day I ask your indulgence while I refer briefly to my individual work as your repre sentative. With a republican majority, mainly from Northern States, which majority is a unit on all important issues, there is little scope for the aotivity of a Southern Congressman ; little ohanoo for legislation in the interest of tb* South. The most that we can do is to support euch general measures as in clude the South in their beneficial effects, and reoord our disapproval of such measures as rob the many for the benefit of the few. Eloquence and logic are God-given endowments which will ever command respeoi and admiration, but to swerve from its purpose an instructed repub lican majority, they avail as little as does a breath in turning back the ocean's waves. National legislation has heoome so one-sided, so central ized that wo may hope for little that is of benefit to the South, except in an occasional general Act. I intro duced a bill to inorease the pay of rural carriers to $900. My hope of passing it was based on the belief that rural carriers all over the United States would appeal to their represen tatives, and create e general demand for the bill. This proved to be the case, and while we did not get the amount asked for, we did get an in orease to $720. Another bill which I introduced and still hope to pass, in case I again represent you, provided for an immi gration bureau on Hillie Island, to be composed of representatives from the various States, whose duties it shall be to seleot and send to their several Staten desirable immigrants. This was in the interest of thinly popula ted Southern States, the wealth of whioh might easily be doubled by de veloping their resources with a com Stoney of labor. I could not hope any oratorical effort, even if I had tho gift Of elcannnnA *o SSSUre the passage of this Dill : but by showing in a business way the importance of building up the producing sections of our country as a means of increasing tho general wealth, in which all sec tions participate, there is a chance for its passage. Our own legislature, re cognising the necessity xor filling in the depleted ranks of our white farm ers with desirable white immigrante, created the office of immigration agent, looking to the very ends proposed in myhill. I have iooreased the B. F. D. routes in; the district sino o my incumbency from^W&i ami bear in mind the fact tfcat I succeeded the, taost active Congressman on this line in the State ; that he worked in fallow ground, se lesting suoh routes as easily met the approval of the department, while the more difficult have fallen to ?se. ? succeeded in reviving and establish ing several routes whioh had been turned down by the department. By reason of my position on the pension committee or the House I have secured numerous pensions for Spanibh war volunteers, not only in I this di a tr io t, but in the di ot ri ct o rep resented by Messrs. "Finley, Lever and Johnson and other Southern distriota. These pensions had been turned down hythe department for one reason or another, and would possibly have died in the committee arohives but for the personal interest I took in the appli cants. Mr, Aiken here told of his fight in the Walhalla post offioe matter; ap pointment of postmaster at Pendle ton ; scouring mail on train No. ll ou the Southern; B. F. D. and St ar routes, etc, etc. In recounting these matters I do so in ?o spirit of boastfulness, but rather as rendering an account to you who hate a right to know the details of my service.% gassing from this account of my stewardship I ask your indulgence while I refer briefly to suoh questions as are engaging the public mind at thisjime, ,.tf fweiv asked to express in few. words tht main points cf diff?r ente bo tween the two national parties I would say : That republican s stand for high tariff and extravagance, while democrats stand for low tariff and economy. : Th? difference h e t we sn th o parties on this question isa difference in degree; the democrats advocating a reduction and revision of present tariff rates, while the party hi power prides itself on "standing pat" on this issue. We do sot advocate free ' trado but a tariff for revenue only. . Most of the criticism to which the re publican party is justly subjected is the outgrowth ot protective tariff. In the beginning or our manufactu ring era we wcro told to foster and protect Infant industries in order to produc? competing plants.' This ar gument is no longer effective,; since these infanta have grown to be strong and corpulent, and by pooling their interests fix prices to snit themselves, while tho government holds at bay their foreign competitor. Under the protective tariff American stc?l bara sold last November in Entrlanrl fnt leas than $20 par ton?' American foods aro shipped to Hawaii and ?otto Bioo byt trust? and iold there at pri?es which enable tho American con sumer to purchase them there, pay the cost of shipment both ways, and get them at lesa than they can buy them in the home market. To proteotive tariff is due the large surplus that has accumulated io the treasury, which is being deposited without interest in favored national banks. Now> a surplus fer sn individ ual or perhaps a corporation is a very desirable thing, bnt a surplus of over one hundred millions of government money, drawn and kept tvm the avenues of trade, and inviting extrav agance and fraud in administration, is a most dangerous menace to popu lar government. If you paid this tax directly, as you do your State and oonnty taxes, you would feel the sting of thib iniquitous system. As it is, j ou pay it in every tool you use, in every artiole you wear, at the rate of ten dollars per capita for every man, woman and child in the United States. Think of this. This State's proportionate part of this tax would be about eleven millions per annum, enough to pay for every de tail of the State government for a period of at least 15 years, not in cluding county expenses, and a simi lar proportion is collected in every other State of the Union. The re publican party proteots tho trusts by extorting from thei" foreign competi tors exorbitant tariff rates, and the truBts in their turn proteot the repub lican party by contributing largely to its vote subsidizing fund. Banks hav ing the surplus deposited with them do not pay the government interest, but they pay interest to the republi can party in campaign contributions. This excess of funds in the treasury encourages extravagance and official dishonest?, or tends that way. The last year of Mr. Cleveland's adminis tration eo8t this government $448,439, 622, whilo the last congressional ap propriation of Mr. Roosevelt's admin istration, seven years later, reaohed i the enormous sum of $781,172,375, or ! more than 70 per oent. in exoess of 1 the last year of demooratio rule ; and this amount does not include $50,000, 000 appropriated to the Panama oanal. During President Harrison's tenure of office ho deplored an accumulating surplus as dangerous to good govern ment, and he was exeroised to find a way te get rid of it. Not so with the present administra tion. Its imperial polioy sffords sn opportunity for shoveling it ont by the cart load amongst an alien peo ple who pay not a dollar of the tax. Pets of tho administration are sent tc Hawaii and the Philippine Islandsand paid salaries rivalin. that of the pres ident himself. TL governor of the Philippines receives $20,000 per an num, the commissioners $15,000, jus tioes of the supreme oourt $12,500, circuit judges $7,000 and district judges $6,000. In our colonial possessions $60O,00C Were spent last year in stamping out cholera, and yet in the Philippines the centre of the trouble, the revenue! are soaroely sufficient to pay munioi pal expenses. By a deoree of the pres ident, who, by the way, does his OWE legislating when it suits him, thc oivil engineer of the Panama cana! fete a salary of $25,000 per annum, turing the last fiscal year 8,415 ne? offices were oreated at an additions cost of 45,431,865t most of then chargeable to our "imperial polioy.' It is estimated that we have pate out to date $600,000,000 to get ane retain control of our island poo sessions, while the balance of trad< in our favor is nominal. Whet obli gation, moral or otherwise, rests oi us to keep up this extravaganeo ? W< are not related to these people bj consanguinity or affinity. The pros pests of commercial advantages sn not eves a remote possibility. Thoi why are we their self-eonstitutei guardians ? The question is aske< what disposition could we make o tho Philippines. In answering this 1 feel very much like exclaiming witl the fellow who yoked himself up witl a wild steer, "Stop us dara fools 1' Ms first nolioy toward them would b< to turn them loose, establishing 'wit! them sueb.relations as we have witl Cubs, snd taking their obligation lo suoh amount as they honestly owe us This would relieve ns of further ex pense in trying to maintain a govern mont there ana preserve peace on th islands. If oar people SB a whole ar Wedded to the idea of holding thee st soy cost, I vould suggest as i means of remuneration that the door there be opened to Chinese imtni grants, on energetic people, who. wi] build ur, agricultural and oommeroia interests. Some of tho best informe men with whom I have talked, mei who have lived there, tell me that th Chinaman is one of the most indui trious, while the Filipino is the moa indolent snd thriftless of bur inhabi tauts there. If, then, it is commei oial greed - that is actuating us, wh not make the most of it ? Now as to pensions. This govern ment paid out during the last fieci year 0138,360,700 for pensions, Sn this mammoth amount is little moi than a campaign fund. Presides Roosevelt, noting in his legislative ci Saci ty, not an uncommon role for hin eoreed that every federal soldier ovc 60 years of age is entitled to a pei stony his age being accepted as sufi oient evidence of disability. Actin under this order, inspired by the prei ident, the pension bureau has literal] flooded tho doubtful States with pei sind/money, te, the futter negleot < claimants from other States. I am sorry, to say, however, that i the matter of pensions we have litt] to hope for from either party. Tr South on the pension question is i very much the same predicament ? fis au old Virginia farmer during tt war,, who had been robbed by Federa and Confederates. Walking out ot morning and looking ever the wrec of what waa once his well equippc farm, he said : "Well, I never toe no sides in this h ere war, but I bs g darned if both sides haint took raj. It is one of the hitter decrees '< fate that the war impoverished Soutl ern Veteran must contribute from tl flCft'ity earnings of his feeble.hands the comfoU. and ease of his conquer in his declining year?- ??d*r dem eratic rule we may hope foran eeefnoi ?et! and ??die?cus d?rsribut?o? of ii pension fund bot little more, so mm has this appropriation bes?me a vo subsidising fund, upon which bo parties are dependent hr a mease for election. * ? <. There was a time in the history this government when "a public office was a public trust." To-day "a pub lic office is a private suap," in the es timation of republican officials. The salaries of government offioials in many instances are so out of propor tion with the little work they do that we can readily aooount for doubled ap propriations. One striking example cf this extravagance may be seen in j the report of the Beere ta ry or the ! Treasury, showing that 192 ouatom house officers, employed at salaries and expenses amounting to $164,009, collected but $63,000. At Gloucev 1 ter. Massachusetts, it costs $18,489 to collect $5,132 ; at Brases, Texas, it costs $31,991 to collect $4,731. These are only a few iooidects whioh might be multiplied until you tired hearing them. Of course there are other ports which pay very mach in excess of the cost of collection, but it only goes to show the extravagant methods of pro tection and the crying necessity for reform in the roods of collecting reve nue. The next great difference between the national parties is on the ques tion of subsidies. The republican party, not content with making you pay a tax of from twenty-five to fifty per cont, to the manufacturer, would take an additional toll from you to enable the trusts to oarry ?hose goods from your oentera of trade at a very low shipping rate to the door of the competing foreign purohaser. It is a ?ep??i?iou of the olu miller's oocduot, who said to one of his boys: "John, you toll that oom?" "Yes, sir," says John. Turning to another he said, "Tom, you toU that corn?" "Yes, sir/' "I believe you ar? both liars so I'll toll it myself." A bill'providing a subsidy of something like ten mil lions, a direot gift to the shipping in terests, passed the senate during the last session, and was barely killed in house oommittee by the aid of two re publican votes. The bill will be re newed, and so sure as a republican administration is eleoted will pass both houses. In dosing let me summarise what we stand for and upon what wo hope to win in ?ho next election. We stand for a moderate tariff that will build up commercial interests at home, de stroy trusts, and produce only sc much revenue as is necessary for ar economical administration of the gov ernment, as against a high tariff thal fosters tresta and extravagant ad ministration of government. Wo stand for honesty in office ai against corruption that has arisen as i stench in the nostrils of the Ameri oaopeople. We would release the Philippines holding over them protectorate righti and a claim for suoh amounts as the] justly owe us, thereby putting an one to further expenditures as against at extravagant polioy of continuous ad minstration there, entailing the coo of additional hundreds of millions, am bringing us no nearer solution, o: the problem. We are for reform oom plete and entire, not suoh SB the oh time serving minister reoommendei to his rich and wayward parishioner when he said: "Brethren, you must repent a little as it were, be converted in a measur or you will be damned to some ex tent." j Our government under republioai rule io fast drifting into that oondi tion whioh invariably marks the dc eadenee of republican forms of GOV ernment. We are building up a aristocracy of wealth who know n limits in their demands, who eve now hold the destinies or the reput lioan party in their hands, and whoa arrogance end presumption diotates t the president himself. When so-oalle popular government is bated upon di erees issued from the bank vault ic stead of the ballot box, labor will b robbed and degraded, and liberty itsel trampled nader foot. Such has bee the history of Other rep?blica that ea ist now only in history-suoh is th trend of events with ns.

He finally got to Ballas, Tex and while there becam? involved in riot, daring whioh a sheriff's depn eras killed. Smith was ?conrea oz ti murder, found guilty end sentenced prison for life. He didn't write his family, preferring that they thii bim dead. When he had served twenty-oi pears five months and twenty da j ina of the gang who had been in tl riot died io the South.

STAR DISTANCES. The Method by Whioh These Are Meas ured by Astronomers. What ia tho length of this room? Any one can make this simple meas urement with a two foot mle. How I far is it from this house to the end i of the street? This question also I can he answered easily with a sur veyor's tape measure. But how j many people ever think of the pos sibility oz measuring the distance of an inaccessible object? To dis cover how far away a thing is when we cannot reach it in order to meas ure tho distance-this is a problem of a very different kind. And when the distant goal of measurement is one of those luminous stars from which we aro sundered by tho pro found depths of space, when that object is not only supremely inac cessible, but also remote to a degreo as nearly infinite as the human mind can grasp--in such a case the prob lem of distance is not merely one of attractive difficulty; it is one that j stirs the imagination strongly. Bessel was the first to solve thia observational problem. His method was simple enough. We havo seen that the actual quantity of parallae tic change in a star's position di minishes with the star s distance. Consequently we have but to meas ure the amount of this chango in order to have at onco an estimate of the star's distance. So Bessel selected his star on ac count of its large motion, as indi cated by the older star catalogues. His method of observation, like every method destined for conspic uous success, was perfectly simple. Two small auxiliary stars were se lected near the one under observa tion for parallax. Every observing night Bessel measured the exact dis tance on the face of tl ie sky between each small star and the parallax star. He judged quite correctly that these two insignificant objects must really bo almost infinitely' fat from us. If such was the case, they must be perfectly free from any ap preciable parallactic shift, even ac cording to thc Copernican theory. If, on the other hand, the suspected star really is near us, it must suffer parallactic changes, and these must make it appear to ewing back and forth during the year between the two auxiliary stars. v Bessel'did not depend upon the ordinary astronomical telescope. l?o was provided with a more accurate measuring contrivance than had ever been used before his time. Thia instrument, called a heliometer, ia ^specially adapted for the most pre cise determination of short dis tances on the sky-ouch distances as those separating his parallax star from the two auxiliary ones. With it he was able to d?termine exactly the parallactic changes in his star's position, and he proved that these changes satisfied perfectly the mathematical conditions that gov? ern motions of this kind.-Profess or Harold Jacoby in Harper's Weekly. _ 8ome Japanese Customs. Widows in, Japan cu' their hair ?hort and cotmb it back plainly without a parting unless, indeed, they are prepares to accept fresh offers, in which, otee they give a broad hint of thew inclinations by twisting their hair round a long shell hairpin placed horizontally across the Dack of the head. Mar riageable maidens distinguish and, ss it were, advertise themselves by combing their locks high in front axid arranging them in tho form of * butterfly, which is something to ho caught, or a fan half open, and adorning these significant designs with bright colored balls and gold or silver cord. Speaking generally, the dressaing of the hair, which is changed at intervals from childhood upward, is an indication of the age and position of the simple mindeel and fascinating female Jap. Draft Dogs? : In Holland and Belgium the dog occupies the place which the donkey dcei in several other countries. In tho former, the sight of a couple of dogs dragging ?j along a pushcart loaded with vegetables, flowers or shining milk cans is a familiar one. They trot along underneath the cart, within easy reach of the blunt toe of the sabot of the woman, who walks behind it to guide it by the handles attached at that point. In Belgium the dogs' are hitched in front, as the Bussians attach their horses to their droskies, three abreast, and are guided by a pair of rope reins fastened to a muzzle about the nose of the -dog in the middle. An Odd Compliment An Jrishrnan was in the company of a widow to whom he was paying his addresses, when on giving a shudder she made use of the com mon expression that some one was walking over her grave. Pat, anxious for every opportn- j nity of showing, his affection, for the lady of his choice, exclaimed: *<By the powers, ma'am, but T wish I was the happy man." - *'Do you think that women onght to have the right to propose?" "No. Women generally manage to get the 'cliows they want aS it is, so why not et the men go OD innocently thi?ki?g they're the ones who are to blame?'* - People who haven't mosey al ways feel sure they could spend it so nuoh batter than paople who have. - The man who never makes mis takes is the man who never under takes anything. HAIR TONICS, Remedies That the Baldheaded Man Vi mu Advised to Try. "Take half a dozen white pota toes," said the barber, "and pare them lengthwise, from end to end, instead oi crosswise, as is usual. Boil them in a quart of water. Drain the Tater off into a bottie and add a teaspoonful of salt. This liquid, this simple compound of boiled po tato water and salt, will, if it is rubbed into tho scalp three times a week, change a tl?n, moth eaten head o? hair into a thick and vigor ous crop." The bald listener laughed. "Potato water is a new one," he said scornfully. "New and line," returned the bar ber. "Do you see how good my hair is? Well, I was nearly as bald aa you are once. I used potato water three times a week for three months. Look at the result." "I'll tell you some of the tonics that have been recommended to me," 6aid tho baldhead. "First, coal oil-coal oil rubbed into tho scalp every night beforo retiring. Can you imagine any man sinking a coal oil drenched head among his puro white pillows? "Sago tea. I made some sago tea once, and tho mixture had so vile and forbidding a look that I could not apply it. "Onion juice. That no doubt is a good tonic. But what would my friends say if I should always bo thrusting under their noses a head scented with onions? "Black molasses. A Kentuckian actually advised me last year to try black molasses. "Hemlock^soap and vinegar. That is a tonic that a Maine barber swears by. Seaweed and apple seeds boiled in sea water is a sailor's recipe. Dan delion tea, plaintain tea and a tea made of honeysuckle are tho tonics that a Boston masseur suggested to me."-Washington Post. Two Ugly Men. The Due de Roquelaure was a man of great ugliness and much hu mor. One day he met in tho street a most unlovely looking Auvergnat, who had some petition or memorial to present at Versailles. Ho imme diately introduced himself to Louis XIV., remarking that he was under a special obligation to him. The king granted tho favor asked for and then inquired of tho due what might be the nature of the obliga tion. "But for him, your majesty, I should oe the ugliest man in your dominions!" I am reminded of Heidegger, the manager of the opera house in tho Haymarket when George II. was king. One day he laid a wager with the Earl of Chesterfield that he would not find in all London an uglier face than his. After a long search the earl produced a woman of St. Giles' who at first seemed to outvie the manager, but when the latter put on the woman's headgear his superior ugliness wa? at once admitted.-All tho Year Hound. A Matter of Business. "Hr. Bong/' said the secretary of the Fearful Accident Insurance company, "ba eure to drop in at old Curmudgb's as you pass this morning and express your sympathy over the loas ox his brother in the railroad accident yesterday. Ex press mine aiso to him." "But old Curmudge had no broth er tn the accident," said the can Vesser. "What has that to do with it?" said the secretary cheerily. "All he can do is to tell yon so." "But it might unnecessarily alarm him," persisted the canvasser. "That's the point; that's exactly the point," returned the secretary cheerily. "Alarm him as much as possible. His own policy runs out next month, and it is one of our duties to remind our patrons that in the midst of life we are surround ed by accidents." An Overcrowded Profession. The two sportsmen looked at each other in the parlor of the village inn and at last entered into conver sation in regard to the experiences of thc day.
