Tillman is the peer of any Senator our | State has ever sent to Washington, I and tin- editor who would associate his name with that of a crazy woman is iiuleo 1 haul up for something to write about. In r< spouse to an invitation extended him to add re.-s the Le^isJ.iture of Alabama, David lb Hill has wiitten a letter of thanks and regrets, in wjd/.h he ur^es the ni .eessily of strengthening the party organization,of avoiding strife and subordinating sellish and personal j considerations to a broad patriot- , ism. Continuing, belays: "Wo should stand as a solid phalanx in favor of a strict construction of the Federal constitution; for the piesorvati m of the reserved lights ,of the States; for the maintenance of the (.onstitutionul currency of . I our fathers: for a system of outdo luxation imposed for public purposes only; for economy in all public expenditures and for the supremacy of the constitution, with all its guarantees, over every portion of pur national jurisdiction; and we should r? si.-t by every honorable means in our power the Kepubli- ! can etforls to fasten upon our country the evils of militarism, the wrongs involved in the diversion of public moneys in the shape of Congressional subsidies, the tendencies toward centralization of power and the substitution of imperialistic ideas f r the phpn and simple theories of democratic government. Upon all these issues the Democratic parly is l'iyht, and sooner or later the rij^ht \yill surely prevail." In the opinion of Mr. Bryan the steel trust will serve a usdul our pose if it awakens the people to a realization of the menace of private monopoly. In an editorial in the }nst issue of The Commoner he svys: "The existence of such a combination of capital, absolutely controlling several lines of business, dealing out daily bread to tens of thousands of workin^mon and dominating a I a roe part of t Ijo business world is in itself indefensible and insufferable. The Kans is City pla'form points out a remedy the pnly effective remedy proposed Let Congress compel all corporations to take out a Federal license before engn^iim in interstate commerce, or, if that is too harah, let it require that corporations having a capitalab >ve a d< si?;nntt d amount shall take out a license.

Mr. F Hopkins Smith, the well known author, line been lecturing in Northern cities recently on "L'ncle Tom's Cabin/' In speaking of the ein.aueip.itj->11 of the negroes and the negro of today, lie said in Chicago a few days ago: ''They didn't know what freedom meant, and the carpet-bag government further demoralized them. A nigger who found him.-elf no longer a slave put np a shack in the next vacant pasture. He had always been furnished food, and so lie stole hi.; late muster's chickens. The race had b. en dependent, and so first of all it became a race of thieves Left to themselves ami their own original instincts they developed immorality and became drum h. The result was the killing of the nigger. Four millions of .i:. .1 .... ..i.. or ,i iiii-iiiuii it i>vi 111 \ yi'uih ueiore men* time. Idleness, viee, starvation, disease killed them. Only lately old Aunt Cliloe, in Cincinnati, told mo with tears Mowing down her cheeks how she had to leuvo her old master when she became free and how she had suffered ever since. "The new nigger, he who was born since the war and who since infancy has had to rely upon himself, is a u*'W factor. Hi' may survive. Hut he has got to get out of politics and he has got to quit being a {bopp. 1 believe liooki r T. Washington luiy )|uld of the right idea. The nigger must get over the idea that lie is a gentleman and that he can give himself gentlemanly airs. "He must regard himself, as 1>:inker Washington tells him, as a labor machine. As a cellar digging machine he is worth 7.~> cents a day; as a bookmaking machine $2 adiy; as a machinist machine I.e may become worth $1 a day. Unless he be a digger, shoemaker or something, he is no account and worth nothing to society. Going into politics will not save him, :11 .a....:. .i m n m i n ill jiiti^ lll^ I lit" geill lOllKIII.

There seems to tie general concert of aelioii among the Me Lain in orgmsof the State to throw mm! on Speaker Stevenson. That they must go after him and drag his name around among eneh ether, befouling him with their tilth, arouses suspicion that there is "method in their madness," dire and diabolical. No one of them has yet roino out manfully and said thoy feared him as a possible candidate for Congress in the Fifth district, anil a probable successor o! MeLnurin in the Senate, but one who has become familiar and disgusted with political juggling and trickery can see what the pulling of these advance wires means. The idea is to stealthily create a distrust of the Pee Dee stub sman in the public mind. s > that lie will hnvo t<> battle against deep seated prejudice in case lie cot nee before the people nu n candidate. The attempt to e rial the volt rs into <-nttie pens for voting has begun. The people of York county have already had one humiliating experience in this line and we are hardly willing to believe that they are ready to fall right into the same trap again. By trickery that was so simple that it threw voters completely olf their guard, people literally fell over no inothei an 1 howled ? own free .1 li The He ah Ut in Yol k court h i a I it *0 me li.Kii rio.
