j op, of Po6ria Utdha8e the Whole of Whiskg at tDiepen Courier. bia, March 14.-The dispen niissiifi is still wrestling .with .rof claims against the state ,y, and it will probably be' days before the commission o any coftelusion as to these . The commission's attorney, F. Stevenson, has beeri de at his home ib Cheiaw by the illness of his wife, and for dson the commission has been t delayed. Attorney Gener i went to Cheraw to-night to uIt with Mir. tevenson abou;t ain matters before ite commis siderable surprise has been that the comm-hission seemed to consideration to the offer of one he whiskey houses to buy the e stock of whiskey at the state ponsary. It was thought to be p that the offer would be just the g to suit the whiskey houses, es ally those whose dealings with the ensary are under question-. If hole stock could be purchased . concern the entire transactions the dispensary in the past would be -ceforth a closed matter, and pro ly all the whiskey ho.uses which done business with the institu would rejoice. e house which made the proposi Clark Bros, of Peoria, Ill., is 1ouse which made the celebrated of Mr. Black, on the .trengti of ich the General Assembly demand of the Governor the removal of ent ire dispensary board. This li r, or a large portion of it, has been d up sitee the first of January, th Clark concern, therefore, has laim against the state for W, con rable sum of 'whieh of course, ld be settled if the proposition to the whole stock were pit there. is understood that the Clark con another proposition, which is to to the commission the whiskey was rejected jut before the dispensary was shut down. This key was said to have been pur ed by the board of directors con y to la.w an-d was held up by the ectors themselves, and then by the islative committee. But it is now gued that the dispensaries recently pened'are in need of t.his class of ds, and that there is no way to ly the need unless the commis takes over this stuff and resell . the county dispensaries. n the other hand, it. is 4giied that COmmission has no concern with ieeds of the county dispensaries, 'it is none of the commissionl's ess whether the county dispen es are stocked up or not. The mission is inis-truected to wind up 's affairs of the state dispensary, it was. not the intention of t'he plature to have this commission e any further purchases of any l't- whatever. The commission Qubtless understands th1is matter' and ill reject any and all such p)roposi ~ns coming fr~om the' shrewd repres tatives of time whiskey houses, as ft eay to see that if charges of farose from the original pur se on these grounds, the same oir ihlir intimations would be made inst this commission in any deal s with tehe same hmous'es on similar is for the same goods. lie whiskey; houses, however, are J represented in Columbia just .Not only their smartest men mn the home concerns, but local at heys have been employed to pres5 't; their eases to the commission, but i business men w'"ho compose that mission are not to be diverted 1 the main issue, which is to out the state dispensary and re puny claims l'hat are found to be Son fraudulent trnnsactions.

Roov s ' ucoeed H4i01.f 7n The President': 'Ohair. Special Cor'. Herald and NOws. Washihgton,,-b. C., March 18. Theodore Roosevelt is a candidate for the Republican nomination for the Piesidency - next year. Ife 'has not said so in so many words, but his every move on the official ohecker board, and statements of leading Re publican politicians on leaving the White House, leave no doubt in the minds of those in touch with politi cl affairs here that he is seeking to place his party in suc'h a position it, will be compelled to noininate him. He path the Taft boom on the back, encoui'ages Root, jollies "Uncle Joe" Cannon, smiles upon Vice-President Fairbanks, and cajoles LaFollette, inaking- each believe that he looks with favor upon his candidacy, just,1 to keep them in the ruiniing until con vention time rolls around, his game being to have as many entries as pos sible, iii order to render the nomina tion of an,y one of them an impos sibility; then, after several futile bal lots, step in and capture the prize himself. It will be recalled that on the night of the election, in 1904, .wlien the re turns assured a sweeping Republican victory, Mr. Roosevelt issued a thrill inig statement *to the Nation in which lie declared that lie would not again be a candidate for the Presidency, taking the ground, in imitation of the Father of his Couitry, that two terms in the \Vhite House should sat isfy. the ambition of any ma. But lie has changed his mind, and tie change cane very soon after his spectacular declaration not to again stand for reelection. Being a disciple of Alexander 1Ham ilton, the great Federalist, and a wor shipper at the shrine of .Emperor William, of Germany, his patron saint, Mr. Roosevelt soon after his election in 1904 conceived the idea that the American Republic should be converted inito a powerful centralized government, patterned after the Ger man~ Empire, and believing that his great popularity with . the masses would enable him to consummate the scheme, lie determined upon another term in. the White House, in order to construct the form of government. so near and dear to his heart. Ii order to more easily consummate his plan, lie waved the big stick over the railroads of the country, proclaim ing through the press ald in nies sages to Congress that great evils existed inl their management, setting forth that alleged evils could not be remedied, except tirough Federal inl terference, and commenced a warfare bringin ithe country face to fave witi industrial ruin. his antagonism to the roads has been proseeuted more with a desire to benefit' himself poli tically than to benefit the masses. Ini other words, lie has simply been en gaging'in gallery plays to make him self p)op)ular, in order that lie muight win politienul favor and strike downi the rights of the states without ser iouus p)rotest from their represen ta tives in the respective branches of Congress. That lie has largely suc ceeded in this respect is ovidenced by a flood of hostile legislation to ward railroads in practically every state in' the Union, and in the Con gress as wvell, and by practically uni animous support of his acts and rec ommnend,artions by both Democratic anad Republican statesmen. That Mr. Roosevlt is opposed to the regulhationi of railways by other agen cies than those of the Federal Gov' en::ment is evidenced by his action'in dihmeountenaninug regulations on the part of tIhe states, It is his contention that the states are powverless to deal justly between the Ipeop)le and the railroads; that thme Federal Government is the only ave nue through which thie peop)le and the roads can obtain .a spare deal, and to to this end lie has diirected the Inter state Commerce square deal-, and to this end lie has directed the Inter state Commerce Commission to' un dertake to t.hwai't the leg'islatioty orf thme several states recently enacted to regulate the great hiighwvays of corn Those who arc in the confidence of Mr. Roosevelt do no-t hesitate to say that anothem great factor haes prompt ed him in his endeavor to create cen tralized government. It is wvell k:on' that thme imegro is very near his heart. He has by aets, and by wvord' of mouth, indiented, that he is a believer in negro political and so #ial equality. He believes that the disfranchisement of. the negro by the Southern States was a.ijieal crime, and after' he has secmred absolute Federal control of .railroads And oth er corporatIons, it is his purpose to demand at the hands on Congress the enactment of a Fed'eral eleetioi lawv that will1 guarantee to the. negro of the soath the right to vote and hold oine. Thee ostitNtionof the iULdt Od States. will be stk-eteled to its sti prenie length to secure equal rights for tbe negro at the south. , iorder that lie iight have Democratic pro cedent for such action, he enjoled Do mocrati. niembers of. Coilgress into supporting many of his centralized schemes in the Congress -just ended. -This- candidacy' of Mr. Roosevelt brings to mind good many unpleasant political deals made by his hench i6aen during the Presidential campaign of 1904. Not on-ly did they bleed the corporations, but they made deals with the Catholid church, in -order to secure his election. Roosevelt has long posed as a great moralist and political reformer, but some of the politica:1 deals made by then, And un doubtedly with his knowledge, during that campaign would shock the great American people. It is well under stood that a deal was made with Arclbishop Irela.nl, in order to so cure the vote of the Catholic Church to the Republican part.y. Mr. Roose velt, through the American Ambassa dori at Rome, was to undertake to se - cure from the Pope, Ireland's ap pointnent to the Cardinalate. That he undertook to carry o t his part of the agreement was bro 42ht out in the controversy between hiimself and ex Ambassador Bellamy Storer and his wife. No doubt Mr. ]Roosevelt would have succeeded in this undertaking had not- the Catholics of New York got. anl ink-ing 6f what was going on an4l demanded that, inasmuch as New York is the largest Catholic diocese in the world, tlhcy had a right to be rcognized in the appoinltmient of a new Cardinal, and demanded that Archibisho) Farley be selected for the place. After the scherne had been diselosed, and in order to cover il) Iiis tracks, Mr. Roosevelt endeavored to throw the responsibility of the whole mess upon the shoulders of Mr. and Mrs. Storer, but it will he hard to convince the American people that the Storers were not acting 11ponl his anthority.
