Says the Columbia Record: "According
to tlio Yoikville Yeoman,
I )r. Strait. contemplates ny:nin run-.
liinj* for (5on^ress. A constituency j
which would trade Fin Icy for Strait i
I
would deserve commiseration. The
voters of the Fifth will never be
guilty of such folly. Finley is a
Miami of yreut ability who will |
rank anions the lenders <>f Con-;
i^ress after short sorvice." And
the Columbia Record is a ^reat,
newspaper which will rank with
tli best metropolitan dailies after i
a few more tilts with The State.
Rut we are tflad to know that the i
Fifth disti ict, is so ably represented |
in Congress.

Since the defeat of Mr. Bryan
1 ? . i ?P 1 I f l - l M i
i.i-M i iii'isurty u nuiuoer 01 crsiwillie
I), uioernts wlio assisted in the tri111111>li
of the trusts have pub- j
lishcd articles in the newspapers i
demanding that the Democratic |
I arty bo reorganized, and it 1ms
been sui^estod that a conference
be held in New York for that purpose
at an early date. Such men |
us .John (i. Carlisle, William C.
Whitney and Don Dickinson are
behind the movement. These deserters
are men in whom the country
has no confidence, and it is indeed
a display of j^all for them to
talk about reorganizing the party, j
In the firs! place, the Democray is i
already organized, as the 7,000,000
votes which were east for its candidates
last week testify. Hut if
it were necessary to organize the
party upon different lines, certain
it is that tin* deserters and bolters j
would not be consulted as to the!
proper way to do it, for to accept
their views would mean another
Republican pat ty under a different!
name. Advice and suggestions
from inon who have deserted the
I)emoeratic party with tho inten-1
t ion of destroying it are not wanted
and will not be heeded.
The following editorial article
taken from the London Speaker
proves that there is at least one
English journal which does not
place the dollar above the man:
"The thought which is uppermost
is that man is the slave of
the dollar. That seems to be the j
chief impression conveyed by the
victory of Mr. McKinley. The
veriest tyro must know that tin1
party Mr. t'roker leads in New
York must be far from an ideal
party. But what is rather absurdly
called Bryauism and what might
hotter b? called the New Democracy
does vnguely represent an effort
to raise the American Republic
to a better standard of life, to re
mimkI the people of the idealism
from which the Republic was born,
to curb the dangerous power of
organized capital, to make republican
principles square with the
principles of liberty and equality,
and what is good in the politics of
J.Ir. Bryan will remain. The aggression
of the nionopo ies is cer- !
tain to become more tyrannical and ,
more insolent every day. Maternnlism
is riding mankind in the
I'nitcd States as in lOtirope,"

All Honor to Bryan.
Whoever else may have gained
S, x or lost hi power or in reputation
in die t ha tion jus) passed \\ illiam
d. Rvyan ei uios out of the contest
with highest honor and w i11 the
esteem and gratitude of all highmind,
d Americans, says the Philadelphia
Times.
It is no discredit to any man to
have failed of election under such
conditions. While the defeat of ,
t i?e administration party was not .
too much to hope for it was too jj
much to expect. To Jinve mad?j,
such a light as Bryan made and as
lie made it was glorious, and the :
service he luis done this country is j
not to be forgotten.
It is easy for those who look only
to immediate results, regardless of
the moans by which they were
attained, to condemn Mr. Bryan's
campaign because it apparently
failed. But it was not a failure.
No man in our time hrs done so
much to reawaken a faith in American
ideals, a devotion to the true
doctrine of liberty. lie bad to
battle against all the forocB of materialism,
the sordid influence of
wealth, the timidity of ignorance
and tho strength of organized power.
The odds were all against the
man of pure convictions and high
ideals. But he never faltered. And
the standard of froedom and manhood
that he bore so bravely will
never be pulled down.
Tho people were with Bryan.
They are with him now, even
though many yielded to the tyranny
of their surroundings and voted
unwillingly for liis opponent. It
was they, not he, that erred. When
we come to contemplate the probable
results of the renewed McKinleyisui
it will not be Democrats i
alone who will rogret tbut Bryan
whs not elected.
The Hiilviition of the Republic
lies in those living ideas which
Bryan has upheld and which the
nation will assuredly enforce upon ;
those who continue to defy them. J
TIub will be Bryan's reward. If
the people seem to have turned
aside from his teaching now, they
will return to it, because it is eternally
true and needful. Long before
the boasted four years more of
McKinloy have passed, with its
triumphant partnership of imperial
ambition and corporate greed,
the American people will rise
against it for their own defense.
Then they will remember and recognize
the work of William J.
Bryan in the great campaign of
11)00 and will accord him the honor
that he has nobly earned.
Peddler Shlpa on tha Ocean.
The man with the pack on his
hack, trudging from village to vil
lage find offering for sale at cottage
Hiul furin house a miscellaneous
collection of wares, nud his
counterpart in the ocean peddler,'
ranging in size from a schooner ;
trading nmong the islands of the
Pacific to a steamer of 1,000 or
2,000 tons burden.
The ocean peddler starts out from
Hamburg or San Francisco, the
chief homo ports of the trade, with
a definite object in view. Sailing
from the former city the course
is generally laid either to the
coast of Africa or South America,
having in the hold a varied assortment
of goods likoly to be marketable
in the regions visited?cotton
fabrics, trinkets, arms, ammunition,
liquors, and all spare room
filled up with coal.
As the largest profits are often
derived from the Bale of contraband
goods, such as munitions of war to
i insurgent bodies, and as detection
by regular authorities would lead
i to confiscation, several thousand
I rounds of cartridges are probably
done up in innocent looking cases
i stamped "Canned Beef," and s few
stands of discarded German army j
?i ? 1-- i ? ?
iinob in pnciuigos lauoiea "Ltiass,
with care."
The captain of such a vessel
must possess not only ability as n
navigator, but an expert knowledge
of tin' requirements of his trade in
addition to a plausible tongue
wherewith to barter and win over
tin* good will of an ill-disposed of- :
licial. If he does not own an
interest in the ship it is generally ;
required that lie shall in its cargo.
Trudging along over the ocenn
at a seven or eight knot gait, shving
his coal ns much as possible,
the peddler opens his trade in, say,
a South or Central American port,
when, having squared the conminndante,
he invites merchants and
others on board to inspect his
stock. Duty, of course, has to be ,
paid by the purchaser, hut in cer.
tain eases that ditficulty is often
overcome by the visitor to the ship
going ashore swollen out, perhaps, (
U> three times his normal size by
as many new suits of clothing.
The greatest good fortune thnt
con fall in the way of an ocean !
peddler is for an American or British
man-of-war to put in some outof-the-way
port in which he is
lying, short of coal. Then from
his spare stock he sella a few hundred
tons at as haid a bargain as
the neccscity of the purchaser permits
him to drive.
On the Central American coast
the peddler usually times his virit
about tko opening of the cotree
season?that is, early in the new
year?so that when he has sold out
his wares he is able to load up,
almost to the water line, with the
principal export of the country.?

L'sed Gold Bullets In Hie RUIe.
A wierd story is told of a man
by the name of Van Bos boom, who
is distinguished in the Transvaal
as the best shot in the Republic,
lie is now 55 years old and never,
it is claimed, has he missed an
object at which he fired. A few
months ngo he had a productive
gold mine and a flourishing family,
but he lost his mine recently, arid
soon after his two sons were slain
ns they were fighting against the
English. The loss of his mine
troubled him little, but when he
learned that his stalwart sons were
no more a great change came over
him. Ho took his old flintrock
rifle, which ho calls Lobengula,
and with a bag of golden bullets
he went to the front to fight the
foes of his country. And it is said
that during the recent battles when
the umbulauces removed each day
those who had fallen in battle, the
physicians could readily pick out
those who had been killed by Van
Bosboom.for instead of two ounces
of lead or steel they had two ounces
of eold either in the heart or in
the forehead.
Now Hurrah for Hhbi'i Mob.
Yesterday the National Salt Company
put up the price of common
table Bait of a fair quality to $2.50
per 100 pounds. The price before
waa $1.10 per 100 pounds for the
same grade. The National Suit
Company controls directly 95 per
cent of the salt output of the country
and is able indirectly to dominate
the remaining 5 per ceut of
the production. The principal
mines of the National Company,
which is commonly known aa the
Salt Trust, are in Michigan.

Charlotte Observer, 10th: One
night recently the store of Thomas
Smith, of Pineville, was broken
into by thieves, who carried off an
assortment of dry goods, in all val
uea hi $u>u. air. rsmith sent to
Fort Mill, S. C., and got Mr. Brovard
Springs' blood bounds, which
were put on the track. The dogs
made a trail straight from the store
to tho house of a negro a few mil; a
distant. There they stopped. It
developed that the negroes arriving
at the house, got into a wagon
and drove to Charlotte. Two of
them were arrested here by officers
from Piueville yesterday and taken
back to that place. Officers are
now after a third negro, who is
i believed to have been one of the
parties. Up to last night none of
of the stolen goods had been recovered.
