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.

"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."
