Senator Tillman's off vote on lum ber caused a broad smile on the faces of some folks but his explana tion took it off. Mr. Bryan says "if the taxpayers would take" a little more interest in the tariff question and chastise the representatives who, ignoring the interes'ts of thte donsumer, follow the advice of the protected inter ests, relief would come sooner." When the news reached St. Mat thews that Senator Tillman had vot ed against free lumuer a broad smile came over the countenance of the Advance that was almost visible from this city. But the Senator's explanation of his vote made that smile come off at once. Some men enjoy work as work, but there are still more who enjoy standing by to see them do it. Let two or three men be engaged in lift ing a heavy safe or beam and a whole crowd will stand without minding it in a hot sun or cold drizzling rain for an hour to watch the proceeding. The case of the Princess de Brogli, who has a divorce, is but ?the latest of a long list of unhappy international marriages in which, as a rue, money is bartered for a title. In a* few instances the result has been fortunate, but they only serve to make more prominent the failure of the great majority. The State says: "If Brother Sims of The Times and Democrat calls a 60-per cent tax 'a strictly revenue tariff we wonder what he would regard as a protective tax?" We fail to see where the sixty per cent comes in on Senator Tillman's prop osition to tax tea ten cents per pound. Wc can't figure it that way. The Calhoun Advance says: "The Times and Democrat's standard of Democracy, Senator Tillman, has de serted him. What now, contempo rary? We are amused at your po sition." If the Advance has read Senator Tillman's reason for voting on the lumber schedule as he did, and his' statement that he is still for free lumber, it does not feel as much amused as it did. After an unpleasant brief three years experience the Princess de Broglie has obtained a divorce from her husband. This was one of those international marriages in which the lady aspired after a title, as though a title, minus true compan ionship and affection, could give satisfaction and make a real home in which contentment, happiness and sympathy reign supreme. Patience is a virtue that needs to | be more generally cultivated. As a i people we are restless, impatient of delay and of opposition and chafe under trial and adversity. There is considerable truth in this inscrip tion recorded hundreds of years ago on a stone '"all in one of the cells of the tower of London, "Men are j nol killed by the adversities they | have, but with the impatience with j which they suffer." Porto Rico does not seem to appre it We are not surprised at this, it. eWrae not surprised at this. Although Porto Rico and Cuba groaned under the yoke of Spain and ??could -pot have obtained freedom without the aid which the United States gave them, yet the sympathy of both islands as of most Spanish American countries is with Spain. Their political and other ideals are Spanish, so also is their race and language. Because of this tney have little in common with this country. It is not absolutly true that "manners maketh man," but it is rue that they make him better, more agreeable and more influential for good. Yet there are many peo ple, both men and women, who are ? ily deficient in manners, especial l in that courtesy and considerate ly which acts as a gracious lubri cant in social life. Perhaps in most cases it is a matter of thoughtless^ rather than of intent, bill all same it is responsible for much I'ticlion and pain. Sverybody wishes Mehiued V. good 1 ?'.< but no one envies him his jolt. The history of Turkey is so dark ? ?? ? l full of tragedy that the outlook for any sultan is far from promis ing. Since Constantinople was taken by the Turks in the fifteenth century o le third of the s-nltans have suf fered a violent death or ended their days miserably in prison. Mehmed may well reflect that "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." Still present conditions in Turtcey are perhaps more hopeful than they have ever been and that counts in his fa Yor. We Fail to See It. The Columbia State says it would have no objection "to a strictly reve nue tariff on tea, and if such tariff j incidentally aided tea culture here, j so much the better." We can't see much difference between the position of The State and Senator Tillman.'' The State, in replying to the above paragraph, which appeared in The Time? and Democrat last Monday, says: Yet the difference is as wide as that between the most conspicu ous Democratic principle and the most conspicuous Republican prin ciple. "A strictly revenue tariff" makes every consumer bear a share of the expenses of the gov ernment, and that is as near jus tice as we can come with any form of indirect taxation. A tax for protection?which is Tollman's proposed tax of nine million dol . lars on fourteen million dollars worth of tea?taxes the consumer not for his share of the expenses of th3 government, but to increase the profits of the "protected" producer. j We fail to see it that way. The money to run the national govern ment has to be raised either by in direct or direct taxation. We adopt ed the indirect plan of taxation, and we collect the money necessary to run the government by a tariff tax on imports and an internal revenue tax on all liquors and tobacco, it makes no difference which party is in power these taxes have to be levied and collected in sufficient quantity to raise money enough to pay the ex penses of the national government. Every man, woman and child who uses tobacco or liquors of any kind pays an indirect tax to run the gov ernment. This is purely a revenue tax, and every dollar raised under it goes to pay the expenses of the national government. The State says "a strictly revenue tariff makes every consumer bear a share of the expenses of the govern ment." That is exactly what, the internal revenue tax does, and what the tax of ten cents per pound on tea proposed by Senator Tillman would do. As money has to be laised to run the government why should not drinkers of tea pay theii share? According to those wao have figured on the matter, a ten cent per pound tax on tea would raise $150, 000,000 revenue, every cent of which would go to pay the expenses of the government. It would give inciden tal protection of $1,500 to the tea raised in this country. In other words, the tea drinkers of the coun try would pay a tax of $10,001,500, and get back $10,000,0^0 with which to help run the government. If a tax that will raise $10,000,000 for the expenses of the government and 'only allows $1,500 protection is not a revenue tax with incidental pro tection then we do not know what to I call it. Still Hacking Him. The Columbia State of Thursday published the following on its edi torial page: And now, since Senator Tillman voted for a duty on lumber, will The Times* and Democrat come out and tell us what it thinks about it? All will agree that the Sena tor treated his friend upon the banks of the Edisto in a horrible manner. It backed him for a Democrat; staked its last copper upon him, and lo and behold he J jumped the track when they put the spurs to him. It is hard to be thrown down, and thrown down hard, by a trusted friend. But The Times and Democrat is un wise in its trusts. The article which The State pub lished at the head of the third col umn on its first page in the same Is sue from which we take the above paragraph, in which Senator Tillman explained why he voted as he did on the lumber schedule, makes an answer to The State's question un necessary. Our readers can turn to the first column of the first page of this issue of The Times and Demo crat and read the article from The State we refer to and judge for them selves as to the correctness of this. We thank The State for its condo lence, but if the writer of the squib in which it was conveyed to us, had of read more closely the State's ex cellent news service, he would have seen that it was unnecessary and saved himself the trouble of writ ing that paragraph. In this con nection we will state with pleasure that Th" Times and Democrat is still backing Senator Tillman for a Democrat, ami we don't believe that he will ever betray our confidence by doing anything that a good Demo crat should not do We have no doubt that Senator Tillmau's vote to tax lumber tickled The State and Congressman Lever nearly to death, but when the Senator explained why he voted as he did and stated that he was in favor of free lumber they both realized that "he who laughs last laugh best." It's The Times and Democrat's time to laugh. That Funny Mix-Up. The State gives us this dig in tin ribs: This tariff business is certainly mixing 'em up, but the funniest mix-up we have seen is tin- Or ange!, urg Times r.ntl P?mo?rat jumping of Lever for voting for a 20 per centum tax on lumber and defending Tillman for voting for a f?0 per centum tax on tea. Our journalistic friend will find but one safe ground to stand en ? the principle of the tiling mu.-t be the guide. We fully agree with our contem porary that this tariff business Is certainly mixed 'e mup, but the funniest mix-up we have seen is the Columbia State jumping on Senator Tillman for voting a fifteen hundred dollar protection on tea in order to raise a revenue of $10,000,000 to run the government and excusing Congressman Lever for trampling under his feet the Democratic plat form its editor helped to make by voting a tax on lumber in direct vio lation of that platform. "Our journalistic friend will find but one safe ground to stand on?the prin ciple of the thing must be the guide." . In a recent interview Mr. Bryan said "the Democratic platform de manded free lumber, and I believe a platform is binding upon all who run upon it, and it' ought to have weight with the memfbers of the party who were elected before the platform was adopted." PRESS ASSOCIATION* MEETING. Col. Aull Promises a Very Success ful Affair. The News and Courier says Col. E. H. Aull, of Newberry, the sec retary of the State Press Associa tion, who has been attending the Pythian meeting in Charleston, is very enthusiastic over the coining meeting of the Press Association in Greenville, and said a few days ago that all who attended the meeting would have a most enjoyable time. The headquarters of the Association will be in the Hotel Otteray, Green ville's new hostelry, and adjoining the hotel is the Poinsett Social Club, which was named after a Charleston man. The hotel will be opened on June 1 and great preparations will be made to entertain the members of the Association on July 6, 7 and 8. Announcements of the details of the meeting and also the program will be announced later. A trip to Tailulah Falls and a day in Atlanta, 6a., will follow. It is expected that the meeting will be very largely at tended and will prove as success ful as any of the former meetings of the Association. The House of Memories. There's a little house in a little street, A little way from sea, And, oh, when I was weary of all the world, It's there that I fain would be! For the world is full of sorrow and care And the.darkness lies before; And the little house is full of dreams That were ours, but are ours no more. In the little street, in the long ago In the little home by the sea, We dreamed of the days that have had no dawn, Of the years that shall never be. But you were young and I was young, And we dreamed and had no care. And dearer and bettor than life has been i Were the dreams that came to us there. And so when I'm weary of all the world, Of its sordid hopes and its pain, I think of the little house that was ours. And sigh to be there again. 'Twas heaven enough if we found our dreams And dreamed them again, maybe, In the little house in the street, A little way from the sea. Letters of Administration.
