Washinq?on, Scjpt. 3, 190?.?
Mr. McKinley and has cabinet, or
gather the fi*o members of it <wko
Are in Washington, have been giv*
ling a continuous diplomatic performance
this week. They have
been holding daily sessions?one
day they held two sessions?to
wrestle wtith communications from
the imperial partners with whom
Mr. Mc&inley has been doing bus* i
iness in China. The contents of
those communications have not
been made ptfblic. but the semi.
official news disseminators say they
relate to a united agreement for a
settlement of questions relating to
China, and that the Emperor of
Germany now stands obstinately
in the way of an immediate settlemeat.
That may or may not be
true, but there axe reasons for the
belief that the Bmperor of Germany
or anybody else who prevent
an agreement that would necessitate
a showdown of the administration's
Chinese band until after the
Presidential election would be regarded
by Mr. McKinley a? an almighty
good &ud.
Washington is entirely in the
dark as to what is going on in and
acound Fekin, as no telegrams
have come through that w?re not
more than a week old wPic-n received,
and they have contained
dittle that was important.
History teaches that it is the
usual thing for nations to do what
their rulers liad declared thoy
would not do. Perhaps that is why
so little attention has beeu given
to the declarations of the diploi
mats of the allied nations as to
I the intentions of their reai>ectiv?
g- ?
governments in China. This government
was first to declare that it
wanted no Chinese territory and
that it was opposed to any other
nation taking any; that was followed
by similar declarations from
Germany and Japan, and now Russia
has come forward to say that it
wants nothing but peace and the
preservation of the Chinese empire,
and that it stands ready to
give up the Chinese territory it
recently seized to restore order.
These have been official statements
publicly made. England is said
to agree with them, although no
official statement to that effect has
been made public, and there are
some rumors to the contrary. It
must be apparent to the observant
that if i
really held the sentiments expressed
by them there would be
further talk about a general land
grab in China; they hare the power
to compel a settlement on the lines
they wish. That there is continued
talk is why it is believed that
these official utterances have
merely been made for effect?to
keep the world in the dark, while
the plans for cutting up China are
perfected.
Representative Gaines, of Ten*
nessee, has been looking up Mr. j
McKinlev'a inrnn?i?tont I
?/ I
the trust question. He finds that
Mr. McKinley declared in a speech !
in the House, May 188S, that Con-:
gress had the power to crush home
trusts. Mr. Gaines also asks very
pertinently why Mr. McKinley has l
done nothing toward crushing the
trusts since he became President,
! and why he should be a trust fol- :
lower instead of a party leader?!
, Mr. McKinley has been inconsist- 1
; ent on almost every important!
| question. He can't help it. By I
nature he is a wobbler.
Psllutsd With Dead rials.
Water from the standpipe in
, Yorkville is not muoh in demand
now and some few citizens are cutting
off the supply altogether, says
The Yeoman;
People first began to gag when ,
they learned that a dead mule had 1
been discovered Thursday evening
lying in the spring branch a short ,
distance above the resorvoir at the j
purap:ng station. This branch
supplies the water for the towu.
I The mule had been the property
of a negro and in life had notbeen
encumbered with flesh. He had
probably wandered down to the
i branch in search of water to slake
hi* thirst and there died. When
( found, the waters of the awift-movjiig,
limpid stream svere energeti*
oally washing and caressing his
bony sides. The carrion had probably
been there for three or (four
days, for it was in an advanced
stage of -decomposition. Nature
had withdrawn the ties of cohesion
that in life hold the elements of
flesh and blood (together and the
carcass had to be removed by fragments.
Of course those who have charge
of such matters were considerably
concerned at the discovery and set
about to make the best of matters.
After the last mortal remains of
the mule were carried away and
disposed of, the reservoir was filled
and emptied several times and the
atandpipe filled and the water
drained out from the ends of the
mains in different sections of town.
Now they say the water is all right
again. But like the dog, when
you give him a bad name, he will
never bo the same dog again.
There are maay who will never
drink the water again with the
same degree of confidence.

lurxTUie inquirer.
Auditor Boyce take* bis defeat
without complaint. He is not disposed
to blame either the voters or
himself. He has already had a
good business offer; but will not
accept it for the reasou that his
term of office does not. ecpire until
January. Mr. Boyce is a capital
auditor. No one has ever tilled
the office more creditably.
There has been some interest in
knowing why John W. McElhany.
of Fort Mill township, was not a
candidate for renomination this
time. Inquiry of a Fort Mill gentleman
who know^ says it is because
Mr. McElhaney feels that he
can no longer fill the office, for the
pay that is in it, with justice to
himself. Mr. McElhaney has made
and ideal magistrate. Instead of
stirring up strife for fees, it has
been his policy to act as the
friendly arbiter of every dispute
ma* coma possibly t>o settled by
srbitrstion and conciliatory argument.
It is but seldom that he
sends a esse up to the circuit
court, and when he does send one
up it is about ready, not only for
the jury, but a verdict. He has
handled a number of important
eases and handled them well; but
he has never been much on getting I
fees. The fact is that on several
occasions he had personally to bear
expenses that were neoesaary in
the working up of certain cases,
as he thought they should be
worked up. In the retirement of
