Tito elm lion of Tom 1/. .JohnHott
to the inny< rnlily of ('level a ltd.
( 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

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? I era to soldier in any shape. 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. One
aid he was badly wounded while >
abiding breastworks around the a
uy m I'etersimrg, hut tlmt does
lot appear t?> be trii?', for it is now
aid ho was hurl by the fall of his v
ait or "shark" on him our night
rhrii he was asleep. Again it is "
aid he is to got a pension because v
10 is sixty years old. and it is not '
laimcd that be was hurt at all. d
We never expected to see the j.
lay when a negro cook would be
s much I bought of as a (Jonfederto
veteran. "

Ingersoll on Napoleon. v

A little while ago I stood at the trave
of old Napoleon a niagniti ent

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. And 1 would, ten
thousand, thousand times.
S. C. College Mazing.
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.
Now the hoard of trustees has
ield a meeting and passed resoldious
saying that ha/.itio ?.f all
inils is had and should not be inuloed
in. They invited the seven
ouuj4 men to return to the college
