Solicitor J. M. Johnson of ] Marion has a letter in the News and Courier of last Friday in which he volunteers advice to the Democrats of this S1 ate to beware of Republicans. Mr. I Johnson's letter must remind his i readers of the story of Rip Van J Winkle who went off into the 1 forests and slept for twenty I years, and when he woke up he : did not realize that times and conditions had changed. Ac cording to Johnson's reasoning we should cling to the ideas which brought on the war be tween the States, and because 1 our grandfathers carried corn in < one end of the sack, and a rock i in the other, we, out of rever- < ence for them, should do the 1 same. Tlre trouble with the < political beneficiaries of this de- ( cade, is, they fear the result of I innovations just as the fogy mer- 1 chant fears -he effects of up-to I date business methods. That ] class of office holders who have grown old in politics know, that if progressive blood is infused into the body politic, their places at the official trough will be taken by others, and they will be reck oned among the "has-beens." Watch it. wherever you see a man who has held office a very long time, he will hunt all about for scare-crows to frighten the i people away from anything which might tend to bring new' men to the front. This was true in 1886 when Tillman sounded his Reform bugle at Bennetts ville; the office-holders and the newspapers began to beat tom-toms and all manner of fussi creating things to scare the peo-] ple away from Tillman's teach ings. When they found that the people were inclined to listen to Tillman, and showed signs oft having a say so in politics, then. 1 came the cry "hush you'll split the party," at the same time< these very men who were trying 1 to quiet the people were search-1 ing all through their dictionaries for language severe and vile enough to apply to Tillman, and those whose independence of thought and action would not be frightened by them. The newspapers abused Till- s man day in and day out; they charged him 'with trying to di vide the solid South, with Ma honeism, with being in league with the Radicals and with every bad motive their ingenious writ-i ers could imagine or invent. The] office holders and other politi cians were equally as intolerant; at last, Tillman marshalled his] host and from the mountains to1 the sea his march, while obstruct ed at every turn, and even his life was often jeopardized, was triumphant. Tillmanism, which 1 meant the taking hold of more< progressive ideas and methods< swept the State, and with it new] men came to the front in politics. 3' Ten years have rolled around < since then, and many changes have taken place, what answered 1 for 1890 has been replaced with t things more modern; this is not only true of politics, but in all spheres of life. The methods of 1 doing business ten years ago will not answer for today. The coun try has grown; war has created1 conditions which must be met: we can not, and keep up with pro gress, legislate for the citizen-i ship of ten years ago, the people t of today with their present needs t must be looked after; the past must take care of itself, and it is our duty to look well to the pres ent and as far as possible to the future., When we undertake to hold up s the wheels of progress to decide j the question of right or wrong in t the matter relating to the gov- s ernent's foreign policy, we are t simply theorizing, and wasting i valuable timne. The government I has begun a policy which we are i unable to change, and no amount ~ of argument or moralizing on our part can bring back to life the i Fillipinos killed in the Philip- I pines; neither can argument or I obstruction put back into the d treasury the money spent in the s taking of the Philippines-this I has been done, and with it new I conditions have come, and we I must grapple with them as they 1 exist. A few years ago the South was s without manufacturing indus tries, this section depended upona agriculture, the factories were at the North and East; the Southt was opposed to the government's< protective policy, the North and East because of their manufac-1 turing industries favored it. t Why? Protection added wealth to manufacturing sections. Con ditions are fast changing, the tI factories are coming South to bec near the fields, and in the past I few years, millhons of dollars have been invested in cottonc manufactures, this has inducedt :bat we are now rated as a mi ifacturing section. The busi iess men of the South, who were :aised in a low tariff school, real zing the aid that protection af orded to manufacturing at the North, have become, converted ;o the protection doctrine because :.heir ir cerests have out grown a ow tariff governmental policy. True, protection is a theory of ,he Republican party, yet some f the staunchest Democrats that ?ver raised a voice in Congress were strong advocates of that theory. Samuel Randall the greatest floor leader the Demo -rats ever had in Congress was 1 Protectionist. Senator Tillman has always )een a Protectionist, his brother, Ihe lamented George D. Tillman idiculed the Democratic free rade policy. We mention these natters incidentally, merely to ;how that it is not unusual for nen who think, to hold views st ariance with their party asso iates. Senator Hoar of Massa hussetts a Republican, fought ?resident McKinley's foreign >olicy with all his might and he vas about the only Republican ,ho differed with his party asso iates on the expansion question. .qorgan of Alabama, the brain est of Southern Senators, is a ree lance in the United States 3enate; on several questions ie fought his Democratic col eagues. Men who can be guid ,d by the merits of a question are tatesmen. Senator Thomas F. Bavard of Delaware a Democrat ind a noble friend of the South, when party spirit was higher han ever before in the history >f this govenment, in his speech n the Senate on the occasion of younting the electoral votes in he Tilden and Hayes contest, liffered with his party associates, mud as a result he was threatened, nisrepresented, and maligned, yut it did not swerve him from s conscientious idea of duty. Ele said: "1 may not read other men's hearts Lnd know what they have felt, nor can [ measure the apprehension of personal langer felt by the honorable Senator. :t seems to me incredible. Fear, if I iad it, had been the fear of doing wrong n this great juncture of-public affairs, lot the fear of consequences of doing ight. Had there been this intimida ;ion tenfold repeated to which the Sen Ltor has alluded, and of which I have io knowledge, I should have scorned nyself had I hesitated one moment in ny onward march of duty on this sub ect. ' Hate's yell. or envy's bliss, or folly's bray' hat are they to a man who, in the face >-events such as now confront us, is loing that which his conscience dic ates to him to do?" Continuing this eminent states nan who rendered South Caro ina invaluable, service in 1876, aid: " Mr. President, in the course of my luty here' as a representative of the ights of others, as a chosen and sworn >ublic servant, I feel that I have no ight to give my individual wishes, >reudices, interests, undue influence >ver my public action. To do so would >e to commit a breach of trust in the >owers confided to me. It is true I was :hosen a Senator by a majority only, but lot for a majority only. I was chosen >y a party, but not for a party. I repre ent all the good people of the State hich has sent me here. In my office s a Senator I recognize no claim upon ny action in the name and for the sake if party. The oath I have taken is to upport the constitution of my country's ~overnment, not the flat of any political rganization, even could its will be as ertained." An ordinary politician would iot have dared to raise his voice n defiance of a majority of his party associates, but a statesman who feels his country's interests it heart, dares not only defy his arty associates, but he courts hie verdict of a reasoning con tituency. Defeat will not swerve statesman from a position con cientiously taken, for he knows hat Right like Truth may get rushed for a time, but it will ome forth again, only brighter. But it is not every new idea ad ranced that means the formation >f a Republican party in this state. The politicians in con rol are endeavoring to create hat impression, banking on the >rejudice against the name "Re mblican" and the negro vote ; hey seem to forget that the 'nigger in the woodpile" busi iess has been worked for votes mtil it has become threadbare, tnd that the negro vote does not Lmount to a hill of beans. Why, f not for the purpose of decep ion, do the politicians continue ohold up the negro vote as a care-crow tp us? Do not all of is know that .there are not mough negro votes in any town hip in the State to elect a con table or anything else? But they ay if the white people divide retty evenly the negro will hold e balance of power. Such rot aight do in ghost stories to frigh en children, but it will not do ita men supplied with daily eading matter and within talk n distance from the seat of ~overnment. There was a time when the oliticians could make the peo >le do their bidding by such rot, >ut a constitutional convention, Laily mails, telephones and chool-houses have put the peo >e to do their own thinking. ad the people listened to men ike J. M. Johnson in 1890 we could to this day be frightened nto voting for men whose ~randfather was a General, enator or Governor : such man as Tillman would till be turning fence co::-ners at he end of a row. The politi ~ians'of the Johnson school ap ose any and all measures ema ating from the Republican par y because they have, as Mr. ohnson says, "an everlasting ~rudge against them." Here is he milk in the coccanut, be ause Mr. Johnson and his kind iae "an everlasting grudge gainst them," right and reason, 'hanged conditions and public in erest,is to be thrust aside to grat + haortof spirit. Tf a mina ure is proposed by a Republican, vhich will inure to our advance ment and prosperity, we must spurn it for no other reason than that Mr. Johnson and his kind have '-an everlasting grudge." It was just such men That told us when we were getting rest less under those in power prior to 1890 to "hush, you'll split the Iparty," and when we asserted ourselves and put Tillman for ward, friend Johnson and his kind did the splitting and ran an Independent ticket, and made co alitions with negrc -s too. We are opposed to the forma tion of two white .parties in this State, but we are still more op posed to allowing a few leaders to make the Democratic primary such a close corporation that none can participate in it unless he gets the sanction of the cho sen few.' We want every white man allowed the privilege of ex ereising his own judgment, that lie may advocate any theory of government or policy he sees fit, and if he honestly believes his party in error on any ques tion, to have the right to go be fore his people in his party pri mary and say so. This is freedom that a white man deserves. The only danger of ever getting two parties in this State lies in the people submitting to the trick ery and arbitrary methods of unscrupulous politicians. Why,if things continue at the rate they are going now, the politician who can control the State convention can elect himself to any office he wants. All that he has to do, is to ascertain the views of his op ponent and then have a platform adopted opposing those views; then, to make a man eligible to I participa-:e in the primary, re quire a pledge of endorsement to the trick-made platform. If an honorable man happens to be his opponent and is opposed to views contained in that platform adop ted for the purpose of ex cluding . an opponent, he is precluded from running by the pledge. The only way there fore to keep our party intact, is to let the primary be open to any white man who will sign a pledge to "abide the result and support the nominees." ' This is the only pledge we have ever had, and it is the only one necessary. A man taking this pledge can advo cate expansion, gold, silver, trusts, prohibition or any policy of government his conscience dictates, and the voters will be the jury to decide his case. The piedge is merely a waiver on his part, of his right of appeal to a general election.

From'the South Pacific-from Samoa --comes a curious, pathetic story of de votion to the "Lost Cause," and even the least susceptible reader must. won der who the unknown ex-Confederate was and what was his history. The Samoans are experts at rowing and sailing-from which fact Bougain ville, the French discoverer, called their country the Navigators' Islands - and since the advent of the white man every Samoan boat must have its flag. Just what the flag represents is not so important a question. Sitting in the cool of his porch over looking .the bay one afternoon during his term as Land Commissioner, ex Chief Justice Chambers of Samoa saw a boat apprcaching the shore flying a flag the sight of which struck him at once with peculiar interest. It was none other than the Stars and Bars of the Southern Confederacy. What could it be doing, wondered he, in the South Pacific-and so long after Appomattox? He determine-i to learn the history of the flag and get possession of it. But, meeting the boat as it landed, he found the owner by no means willing to part with his flag. The offer of the "American chief" to buy it was promptly though very politely declined. Then the Justice tried a little diplo macy: he took the boatman into a store and bough t for him a bolt of calico and then a kit of mackerel-which delight ed the Samoan, to whom they were lux uries. But the native still insisted that he could not part with his flag. " It would not be right for-me to give it to you," said he, in such a ::anner as to show that some deep feelinlg was in volved. "But wh~y? Where did you get it? And why do you value it so highly?" asked Mr. Chambers. " Well, I will tell you," answered the Samoan. 'A long time agro a man came to Samoa from -far off ill America -where you came from. He was not a sailor, but told me he had been a sol dier He was my friend, anid lived at my house. But after a while he got sick, and one day he said to me: "' Tasi, :.ook in my bag ther-e and get out my flag, and put it up on the wall where I can see it. " I did so, and he would lie there and look at it and look at it. Several days afterward he grew worse. He called me to him and said: "' Tasi, am going to die. I am far away from my home and m~y people. This flag if all I have in the world; you have been my friend; I give it to you. Keep it as long as you live. Don't give it to anybody-and whatever you do, don't you ever let a Yankee have it.' "No, my chief, I cannot part with~ this flag-not till I die."-Saturday Evening Post.
