i . ( >?'.i nns of the Spaitaui
g i I era hi. is t he mo-t disgusting j
iotnfoolery we have ween in a South j
t'atoliim newspaper in ti longtime.
In the matter of intelligence. 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. The first
condition should he that there is to
ho no water 111 tho stock and the
si cond thn* the corporat ion is
not attempting to monopolize M'iy
branch of industry or tl:p proline

A Nerihern View ?.f the Negro.
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

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,

Throwing Mud on ^Uvenson.
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
