( lllio, is item jtlml by Iti.s political flieinls ill thai eilv to inmin that he has won his first oreat slop 111 heading 1 iwarcl the Presi lential rhai r. Johnson has always been a i h >11 ml money Democrat. Four years n^'n he refused to p irtieipate actively in the Presidential cnmj)d?_rn because his party and its Presidential candidate, Mr. Ihyan, stood committed to free silver. At u banquet at the he^innin*; of that eatnpdon lie made use of the expression, "Mr. Johnson is out. of t line with h is port v." At the election, however, lie voted III the campaign of a year njjjo Mr. Johnson and Mr. liryan oceanic warm friends, although Mr. Johnson did not ipve up hits ml lion1 uce to the sound money doctrine. He expects by reason if these facts to be able to swiii** the Round money Democrats into iine for his support, at the next Presidential convention. Lately lie has taken up the dogmas of municipal ownership and the three-cent street railway fare, and when lie was nominated for mayor of Cleveland by the Democratic ; party he received friendly letters ! from W. J. Bryan, ex-dovernor' INiigree and Sain Jones, of Toledo, t chief prophets of the common I people. ( The relat ions bet ween Mr. John- < son and Mr. liryan arc those of ' more than ordinary friendship, *' and there is no doubt that Mr. Johnson has also won tin1 alien- h lion and liking of many minor j leaders of the faction of which ....... 1 jpryan is me neiul. Another feature in thecampaign ' tlmt Mr. dohn-on will wage from , now on, in order to get the Presi- f dent in 1 nomination, is in relation ' to the vote of the Southern States. v Although the fact has lieeii lost ^ sight of to a considerable decree, ; nevertheless a strong element in \ favor of Mr. Johnson's success is I the fact that he is a Southerner, 1 horn of one of the best old Kentucky families, and still possessing | a strong reverence for the South s nnd its traditions. So deeply ' grounded in Johnson is this liking 1 of the South, that when hisdaughter was to make he social debut | the family went to Iiouisville, and v there Miss .lohnson was intro- s ductal to society. M r. Johnson's friends are confident that when the National Demo- (| ernt ic con vent ion meets in t'J 'I the a South will take advantage of the lira! opportunity it has had since the war to nominate a Southerner for the Presidency, and cast a solid vote for him. Wit li Johnson's pop- jj ularity, his large wealth, hisahibty < as an orator and his locord, his > friends consider him a caudid.de ' who will have great strength in the I convention and before the e.noiti v I at lar^o if lu* should I??? nominated. I -M" t Bryan Talki uf Capture of Aguinaldo. j. William Joiiuiiius Bryan gave \ nut a statement Thursday on the etT??ct of Aguinaldn's capture. lie 1 paid it glowing tribute to (iencrul s Funstun, but declined to say s whether lie believed the oath of t allegiance taken by the Fillipino t lender would end the war. lie said: s "\\ hen tin* I nited States e? iu< s 1 to deal with Aguinaldo she will be compelled to deeido whether she * i eal i ng wi l h a rebellious subject i , .villi a foreigner who owes no ? itegiunce to this government. T?? . < c .. Aguinaldo an a rebelious j abject the administration must i assert that the defeated monarch j < an bargain, sell und convey the ( tie to his subjects, and that a re- 1 v ii'- can tirsi ucite the subjects of u monarch to lion or ms. sist. them in rebellion and then make allies of them and afterward buy a title to tln-m from the Iciiiu' whose sovereignty was then disput? d. "The question of imperialism inot settled I?y the impi'isomneiit of 1 tin* eommamier-in-ehiof of.the 11a tive forees. nor will it be settled by the surrender of all who are in arms. If the Filipinos fail in their appeal to force, there is still ? left an appeal to the American conscience. "The Kephlicnns have taken refuse behind the fact that the war' existed and have tried to cry down criticism as unpatriotic. They have asked, "Ilow can wo treat with ww wi <: 1 oil" UM nipuiiii^ now II I'll l sold iors?' "Peace will multiply the embarrassments of tliu ndininist rat inn, for it can not long conceal tlic eharactcr of t lie civil government which will lie imposed upon the Filipinos. The war in the Philippines has been a hindrance rat her than an aid to those who have been resisting I ho int reduction of European ideas and methods of government in the I nited States. ( Against PcimiunlnK Nrgro^a. The editor of the Abbeville Me dium, an ex-Confeder ite soldier, protests vigorously against the negro .John Mitchell drawing a pension. lie says : There never was a negro soldier in the Conf< derate army. W hite ( men did not regard a negro equal ( to them and there never was one enlisted. The Confederate soldiers ' did not expect one negro to fight ' to keep the rest of Ins race in i slavery. Abraham Lincoln used i to say that such a negro deserved death. John Mitchell was always a free 1 negro, as we understand, and went t to the army as a c<>ok at ?12 a f month for his sei vices. Jle was i not mi enlisted soldier nnd under the pension law lie could not propL?rly he allowed a pension, livery i ' r*t*lit of money paid out to him as ' i pensioner has been taken from e -omo man to whom it was justly ,, Iue. If he did any particular uci'itorioiiH work his friends should have had a special law ' jassed to reach free nejjl'o cooks. e So far as we have been able to v ind out, .lohu Mitchell never tired i mm, never stood ^uard or did jicket, duty, w is not subject to uilitary oidcrs and was not a Con- 11 "e?

N et ie is put side by side with men n vho stood in the front line of bat- i le and bore all the hardships of lie severest campaigns. dolin Mitchell was not the equal of the * vhite men for whom he cooked, lie has no rifjlit to any pension h inder the law and his name ouj^hl t i> coine 11If the list. All kinds of stories have been s old about this favored nejjfro.

" ? Ingersoll on Napoleon. v , 1 A little while ago I stood at the trave of old Napoleon a niagniti ent tomb of gilt and gold, tit aluoHt for a dead deity and gazed ipou the sarcophagus of black Egyptian marble where rest at ast the ashes of the restless man. leaned over the balustrade and bought about the career of the greatest soldier of the modern vorld. I saw him walking upon the muks of the Seine, contemplating uieide I saw him at Toulon I aw him putting down the mob on he streets of Paris? I saw him at he head of the armv in I till v 1 iiiw him crossing tin' bridge at Lodi, with the tri-eolor in his ham! I saw him in lCj^ypt, in the shadiw of the pyramids I saw him 'onquer the Alps, and mi little the 'ii^li's of l-'ranre with the eagles if the cr??js 1 saw him in Maren o, it l"lm, ami at Austovlitz. I aw him in Russia, where the infantry of the &now and the eava'ry jf the wild blast scattered his legions like winter's withered hlives. I suw him at Leipsic, in defeat and disaster, forced l)y a milium bayonets back upon Paris ?clutched like a wild boast, banished to Klba ? 1 saw liiin escape and retake an empire by the force of Ins m-tims I saw him upon the frightful field of Waterloo, where chance and fate combined to wreck tlie foitunes of their former kinjLj. And I saw him at St Helena, with his hands crossed behind him: oa/.ino out upon the sail and solemn sua. I thought of the widows niul orphans he had made, of the tears that hail been shed for his ^lorv of the only woman who ever loved him pushed from his heart by the eold hand (if ambition. And i said 1 would rather have been a 1'reneh peasant and worn wooden shoes; I would rather have lived in a hut with a vine growing over the d >or and the grapes mowing purple in the autumn sun. I would rather have been that poor peasant, with my loving wife by my side, knitting as the day died out of the sky. with my children upon my knees and their arms about me; 1 would rather have' been that man, and have "one down to the tongue less silence of dreamless dust, than to have been that imperial impersonat ion of force and murder known as Napoleon the (ileal.

A Columbia dispatch of Satur- i fay says that it has become known hat a party of young men of the ' South Carolina Col lego a few days ( igo administered a coat of black- i UK to one of the students named < A'alker. The young man who uilTered at tlu* hands of the hazers nade protest to his father, who in urn made a vigorous protest to the * 'acuity. An investigation was ield and three students were orlered to pack their trunks and { eave. Four others then demand(1 of the faculty the same privil!^e, saying they were equally piilty. This was ^ettin^ a little uore serious than the faculty had lar^ained for, hut there was no scape and the seven youu^ men it ere sent otf. A hij4 party of students then tarted to look for Walker, deternined to make him the chief perormer in something that would nake the initiation of the "lion loos" seem tame. Hut they did iot ii i id him. Apprehending rouhle he had tied.
