APRIL 24, 1901. Better Than Gold. Better than grandeur, better than gold, Than rank and titles a thousandfold, | Is a healthy body and mind at ease, And simple pleasures that always please. I A heart that can feel for another's woe. With sympathies large enough to enfold All men as brothors, is better than gold. Better than gold is a conscience clear, Though toiling for bread in, a humble sphere; Doubly blessed with content and health Untried by the lusts and cares of wealth; Lowly living and lofty thought Adorn and ennoble a j>oor man's cot; For mind and morals in nature's plan. Are the genuine tests of a gentleman. *1 ...1^.: . i.i._ ^ jn iicr biiuu n'M^is i iiu swwi repose Of the sonsof toil when the labors eloso. Better than gold is t he jxior man's sleep, And the balm that drops 011 his slumbers deep Bring sleepy draughts on the downy bod. Where luxury pillows its aching head The toiler simply opiate deems A shorter route to the land of dreams. Better than gold is a peaceful home, Where all the fireside eharaters come? The shrine of love, the heaven of life; Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife; 1 However humble the home may be, 1 Or tried with sorrow by Heaven's decree, j The blessings that never were bought or sold And eoutor there, are bettor than gold, ?Father Ilyun. j ( "When our 'noble leader' was trying 1 to drag the jteople of South Carolina into the Populist party, and the people refused to go, no blush was observed 011 his cheek."?Chester Lantern. We challenge The Lantern 1o produce proof that Senator Tillman j ever tried "to drag the people of. South Carolina into the Populist; purtyThe only year in which the Populist party cut even nil insignificant figure in this State was in 1S02, when Weaver was its can- | didate for the Presidency. Tillman supported Grover Cleveland that year. This thing of misrepresenting Tillman will not help McLau- i lin, who is already dead politically. ! Every Republican President from Grant to McKinley has had dreams of establishing a respects- ' ble white Republican party in the South, but every effort to make ! the dream a reality has miserably | failed. For that reason Mr. Me- ' Kinley's effort in that line, in this i State, is more amusing than alarming. Senator Me.Laurin. who has been for all practical purposes nil administration Senator for sev- ! oral years, although lie only ac- | tually withdrew from the Demo- | eratie caucus just before the ad- ] journment of the last session of t Congres-*, is acting as Mr. McKin- ^ ley's assistant in the present at- < tempt to turn the dream into a 1 reality. The first open move was i the appointment of .lohn (J. Capers to suceeed a Republican as ( United States district attorney for 1 South Carolina. The next is ( awaited with more or less curi- ' osity. ? ? ] All Byes on ?>outh Carolina. ' The Washington correspondent ' of the News and Courier says that Senator McLuurin's fri?'iuls dechire that lie cannot expect to be l returned to the Senate unless he 1 cull give a complete and accept- j able explanation of bis affiliation \ ( with the Republican uartv. If h#? < * , * J ' ? - - - fellows tho white feather now in 1 Hit* face of Senator Tillman's bold defiance it is not difficult to see | his tinisli. J Some of the most conservative ' representatives of the Democratic ] party are deeply concerned over i the political situation in tlx* South, t and the South Carolina incident 1 is Attracting the attention of Deni ocrn'H from all sections of the | country. i A DemocraticCongressman who , is familiar with tho situation remarked that while it may he true that Senator MeLaurin voices the sentiments of a number of Southern men, who are interested in the commercial prosperity of that seclion, he lacKs the courage of his convictions and is hardly broad enough to take the leadership of such a crusade as he proposes. A Republican politician also ex-. P'esses a weakness of faith in Me'aiurin's c nrnge and ability to live W| to the dertarr'te i! he made in the Charlotte speech. Tillman Flays Mcl.aurln. Senator Tillman was seen at his home ;n Trenton Friday night by a reporter for The Statu and replying to a request for his opinion on Senator McLaurin's Charlotte speech, said: "It is contradictory, full of jKiradoxes and seems intended to pave the way for the Senator's passage into the Re. publican camp. It may excite surprise outside of the State, but the only thing which astonishes us hero is his continued effort to jiose as a Democrat. Democracy lufs a broad or general meaning and a special or local meaning as applied to one of the great national parties. My colleague says, 'My definition of Democracy is liberty for man formulated into a theory of government; it ' means man's inalienable ownership of j himself. It means free thought and ' free speech.' This is not the definition given ill any dictionary, nor is it the definition given by Jefferson, and it is i only intended to justify the Senator's i desertion of his party, his treachery to its principles and his betrayal of the ( people of South Carolina who have ' trusted him. The Kansas City platform , is the only embodiment of Democratic 1 j principles that can now be recognized, 1 and no man can be considered a Demo- j crat who ignores the principles and pol- j icies laid down in that platform and i IH'rsisto'itly votes with the Republican > administration in both its foreign and domestic policies. "Senator MeLaurin iterates and reiterates the charge that the 'new Democracy' is a sectional jsirty and then truthfully claims that the South which in the last campaign was alone Democratic, 'is the American end of Amcri- 1 ca.' Strange that because of this fact J liud our veneration and love for the principles upon which our government rests that this 'broad American statesman' and new-born Democrat of fa hitherto unknown type should council our people to 'accept conditions as they are and make the most of them.' "Senator MeLaurin declared in 'i>8 that 'McKinley should be renominated ! by acclamation,' and if his s{>cech | means anything it means that the j Democratic party ought to surrender , nil of its traditions which he claims are 'long since dead,' become an echo to the Republican i>arty, endorse its foreign policy as well as its domestic policy, ship subsidy, large standing army and everything, and subside absolutely as a Democratic luirtv "If the administration party is right, what need is there for u isilitical factor. 1 hu\o never believed that my colleague would dare face the people of South Carolina in any political earn- i paign and, knowing what 1 do about liim, but as lie indicates bis purpose to still masquerade as a Democrat and while attacking me covertly as one of the 'leaders' of the so-called new Democracy, it is his purpose to lead our pcplo into the Republican camp, duty couqtels me to sjieak out and tell certain things. "Mr. McLnurin made in the Senate, January, IKtiy, a sj>eech which was as ultra and as pronounced in its denunciation of (lie acquisition of tin; Philippines and jKirtrayed the many dangers' which threatened our country in conse- | queiico as any ever delivered in that body. Up to Saturday night before we voted 011 the treaty with Spain 011 Monday, February T, 1WJ, lie reiieatedly told me and other Senators he was bitterly opi>oscd to the ratification and would not vote for it. lad ween adjournment Saturday evening and the vote 011 Monday the mantle of 'broad American statesmanship' descended up>11 him and a few minutes before the toiiuio wear into executive session to i lonsider the treaty ami take a voto as | 1 igroed, lu* pivt* a halting aial lame ox- ! [ilnnation of his intended change of ! front. His voto socurod tho rat illicit iou, , t>ooauso on t ho first roll call Mr. Jouos, j >f Nevada, who hail also told us hoi would voto against tho treaty, 'passed' | when his naiuo was oallod, and 1 fool j ortain if Senator Mcljiurin had stood . :?y his jwirty and by himself, Mr. Jones would not at tho end have voted for the | *at ideation. "Conscious as he was that his vote i was tho KoverniiiK factor in the train ' >f moniontous consequences so far- 1 caching and terrible anil involving the i war of subjugation in tho Philippines, lie expenditure of hundreds of millions >f dollars, the loss of thousands of lives mil other dire results which no man j an foresee, it is natural for Senator Wcl-aurin to make a desperate etl'ort to indicate the President's jtolicy in his >wn action. The declaration of inileK'nilence, of course, and an abandon- noiit of 'dead tradition' is the policy of i man who behaves as lie has done. "Such a man has no conscience of jrineiples. Tho eloquent sjieeeh which ie delivered in the Senate was largely itolen from a sermon delived by Kov. Dr. Henry Van Dyke on Thuuksirivinir lay, November, 1NUM, in the Brick ! Jhuroh of New York city, two months jefore Senator Mclmurin delivered it in he Semite. "I have not only lia?l toblush because Mclmuriti hail deserted liis party in a jreut crisis under suspicious eircuinitances and contrary to his avowed pur- j >osc, but have hud the mortification of [laving other Senators, Northern gentle men, speak of the degradation to which South V'arolina had conic in being represented by a man who would boldly j .teal the brain work of another by whole sentences and paragraphs and have the effrontery to deliver it in the Senate. "The ixMiple of South Carolina cannot he further deceived or misled by this man, and I si?eak now in order that they may fully inform themselves on all of these matters and stand ready to furnish the proof of everything 1 say, and if necessary I will meet Mr. MeLnurin face to face in any forum lie ( may choose. If his proposed scheme of broad statesmanship is Democracy, th.-n I am not and have never been a Democrat, and as the jicople of South Caro- [ iiua have recently re-clocted me as a Democrat without opposition. 1 feel warranted in lotting the jieople outside 1 of the State as well as those inside ' know just what manner of man this is. I have kept silent heretofore, because I was ashamed to let the world know how our people had been deceived in him." A Mean Man. Bill Nye often spoke his witticisms laden with the greatest truths. Among these is the following: "A man may nse a wnrt on the back of his neck for a collar button, ride on the back coach of a train to save interest on his money until the conductor conies around, stop his watch nights to i save the wear and tear; leave his 'i' and *t' without a dot or cross to | save ink; pasture his mother's; grave to save corn, but a man of this kind is a gentleman and a scholar compared to a fellow who j will take a newspaper, and when ' asked to pay for it puts it in the j office and has it marked 'refused."' ! One Week of Mrs. Nation. Mrs. Carrie Nation, the saloon smash- ! or, is to conduct the mnnici]Nil affairs ; of Medicine Lodge, Kaus., for ouo week. \ If, during that time, according to the agreement, Mrs. Nation betters the con- j lit ion of trade and social relations in Medicine Lodge, her ideas will be adopted permanently and the city run i along the lines thus laid down. If , business should fall off for the week | and a majority of the citizens grow dis- , aatisfled with her conduct of affairs, then the city officers will continue to ( run it "wide open."
