Notwithlstanding the "State's' vehement denial, w e still believe that the "voluntary and unsolic ited interviewed" referred to it its issue of 14th inst., was manufactured for the pur pose of discrediting Senator Mc Laurin with the people of thi: State, and until the "State" dis closes the name of the author o: that interview, we will continuE to believe it emanated from somE one connected with the State, regardless of epithets which the "States' editor may choose tc hurl. The idea of a newspape striking a public servant such a blow as was done in that avolun tary and unsolicited interview' without disclosing the name o1 the author is so unfair, that it. foulness must be apparent tc every lover of justice. Thc State knows full well that there is a deep-seated prejudice against the name "Republican" in this State, and when it, even in the guise of a "voluntary and unso licited interview" seeks tc place Senator McLaurin as a probable leader of the Republi can party, it must know that the effect intended, is to prejudice the people against the man. The "State" "wonders how THE TDIES would manage to be re conciled with itself should its darling Mac's be rival candidates in 1902." In case these two gen tiemen referred too, should set fit to opose~ each othe:-. condi tions may be such that we will be forced to make a strong fight against one or the other, and perhaps both, but were the elec tion to come up today, or in two years the conditions remain as they now exist, we have no hes itancy in saying that our choice between these two personal friends, would be in favor of McLaurin. We honestly believe that John L. McLaurin is better qualified to~ be of service to his State than any man who could be sent' there, and to displace him because he had the manhood to do what he thought was best, would only be taking a step backward. The "State" has not been at all friendly towards Senator Mc Laurin, and for some time it has displayed its unfriendliness to wards him, we know not why. Surely, it cannot be because Senator McLaurin was convinc ed that under the conditions then existing, it was for the country's best interest to vote for the con firmation of the Paris treaty? No it cannot be this, because, the "State" was a strong adv-o cate for the re-nomination o: William Jennings, Bryan, and h( and Senator McLaurin held the same views on this subject. The "State's" antipathy to the Sena tor, cannot be on account of his not voting with a majority of the Democratic Senators, because, this would be inconsistant with that paper's record. We well remember how the "State" en deavored to tear the Democratic party asunder by supporting anything a'nd everything in op position to the nominees of that party; we have not forgotten how it villified and abused any. thing and everything the Demo crats did, and the devihment it did when Pope and his gang were attempting to uproot our registration laws, yes, we well remember the sudden popularity of the State among the negro's when Pope and George Murray were pumping hot wind all ov-er the country soliciting contribu tions to pay the expenses for breaking up our franchise laws. that the Republican party might again come into powe-: in this State. We remember these things, and for- that reason we are satistied that The State's pre judice dos not camel from Sena tor McLau rin's ditYering on one or two issues with the majority oi his Democratic colleagues. There must be something which has not been conlided to the pub lic, bumt whateve-r it is. when ever "y'he State" has any more ":oluntary and unso licited ' interviews" to foist the fairness to make known the y author: an interview and anony nous ummmunications are differ ent in etfect: an interview is sup poseCd to emanate from some im nortant source, a anonymous communication may come fron: a boot-black: therefore, wher there appears an "interview- 01 a matter affecting the politica] faith and loyalty of a public ser vant. and that --interview" al though -- V)iutar l Y l llad unsolie ited" is Hot )er'omp)llafnlied witli the sUrce (of its responsibility, tlhen. hIllere is reasonable room for the suspicion that it is the stilletto work of prejudice which has been making itself apparent in tiie State for several months, and all of its attempts to throw off suspicion, such as wondering what THE TIMES will do. should Goveror McSweeney and Senatoi MIcLaurin become rival candi dates, are not so hidden. but that the stabbing apparatus under its cloak can be discovered.

Loryea.Prop, Minister Wu Ting Fang has been severely criticised on ac count of the lecture delivered before the Ethical Culture So cietv of New York recently. He was in Philadelphia later, and referring to the criticisms of his lecture. he said that the reports that were published did not give full facts and. were therefore misleadinge. He had no inten tion of attacking the Christian religion. His theme was Confu* canism, and to make the cardi nal points as clear as possible he chose the best form of religion, Christianity. for a comparison. "it was not my intention," he said. "to condemn the teachings of Christ. Taking His philoso phy as a standard should be con sidered as a compliment. I de sired to explain how Confucian ism was like and how different from Christianity. I did not con demun the teachings of Christ. I said they were very noble and very difficult for men to attain to, some of them. When I blamed Christia'r:, I certainly did not condemn their religion. I have read part of thte Bible and ap preciate and respect it, and I never in my life have made an attack on Christianity. I praise the creed, but I repeat that somfe of its doctrines are too high, toc grand for the mere mortal to fol low" No one can reaisonably hope for good health unless his bowels motve once each day.
