Speaking of South Cnrolinn politics,
Representative Latimer, who
is a candidate to succeed Senator
McLaurin, sa\s: "John L. Mc* !
Lauriti has been speaking in favor
f T? II* I * * I a 1
in Jtcpuoiicau policies, ana u ims
been suntxested that I answer him.
However, I do not believe in rushing
into a campaign that is so far
<>tf, and 1 shall choose my own
time to say what I have to say."
Of Hen. Wade Hampton's refusal
of the offer of the post mastership
at Columbia, Mr. Latimer said:
"I have no doubt the olTer was
made in the hope of securing the
iuiluetice of that grand old warrior
in favor of Senator McLaurin's
plans, and ho has shown that his
influence is not to lie secured in
that fashion. There isn't money
enough in the world to buy (Son.
Hampton."
In last week's Commoner Mr.
Bryan replies to the statement of
Henry Watterson, that "Bryan is
not a party leader or a statesman,
but a moral philosopher." lie
says:
"The Democratic party will not
**M^^pmlon its ideas; it will not do1
its policies from its visions;
.'will not adopt 'anything to win'
+ - policy; it will n it la-gin bellowing
at the scent of blood.
'*Mr. Wntterson's definition of
statesmanship is that it is the art
of detaching one's policies from
his visions, or, to speak more
plainly, the art of ignoring moral
principles whenever it is popular
or profitable to do so. Fortunately
this definition has never la-en,
and let ns hope never will be, generally
accepted. The statesman
must have ideals, for without them
he cannot appeal to the hearts of
men, and he must follow his ideals,
for unless lie does be can not long
restrain the confidence of the
people.
"The policy 'may run with tinhare
and hunt with the hounds,'
but in the former case he is apt to
be caught, and in the hitler case
earns a dog's reputation."
?? -4 -? ? The
new Ayeock anti-gambling
law, which has just gone into effect
in North Carolina, is proving
to be the most effective measure
of the kind ever tried in tlie South.
The penalties are not only heavy
on the gamblers, but even more
severe upon saloon-keepers and
polico oflicers who protect gambling.
Police officers are required to
make weekly sworn statements, t*?
which the mayor shall also attach
his signature, that no gambling
place has been in operation, that
no gambling paraphernalia is located
and that no gambling has,
to their knowledge, occurred in
the city during the preceding
seven days, adding that they have
taken due care to detect any violation
of the law. If gambling is
discovered to have existed on any
policeman's beat by others than
himself an investigation must lie
had, and if the officer either had
X knowledge or failed to exercise
proper vigilance, he shall not only
be immediately dismissed from tinforce,
but shall forever be debarred
from serving as a police officer in
Stale.

The Savannah news having remarked
that "while the sparks are

( Tillman and Mel.auini the editor
I of tbe Oolambin state is calmly
I writiug a serial editorial on 'mos
| quitoVH and malaria. ' The N r
I folk Landmark itnpiires of its
I Georgia contemporary if it can
I not 'see the connection." Onr
friend at Norfolk is discerning. In
M tins ease it was Tillman, the boss
B inosqnito, who. while inserting hits
B hungry proboscis into the veins
\ of the State introduced therein
sundry hartnfnl j*erms, ntnonu
them McLnui inisin, which have
fro )i time to time afflicted the
body politic with headache, nausea
^ und other symptoms of political
Hampton ami (i')rilon Sp-'nk.
At the opening exercises of the
Confederate rctitiion hold in Columbia
hint week an enthusiastic
reception was tendered Gen. Wmle
Hampton, who spoke as follows:
My comrades: I have hoard that |'
rebel yeh 1 >? f?-re and I wish that 1 I,
eon Id respond to it now, as it was ;
once my pride to do, and toll the |
brave men who were around me to
go in and win, hut time has marked j1
many a mile stone on my march to
my last resting place. Perhaps i
there are some ainon^ you here
i who knew the old Philips Legion.
The lieutenant colonel of that leuioti
was one of the best lighters,'
of the legion, but lie was not much 1
on grammar or drill, and once, i
when his legion was in winter j j
(juarters, he sent an officer to inspect
and drill them. Well, they
well' not accustomed toquiek time
on foot and the old general com-,
promised by saying, ''Their spirits
are irootl. but their winds i?n?
short." Now that is wry much
the condition of myself. 1 have
had ft very sovero attack of jzrip '
and that has left me very much in
the same condition as those men.
!>y the by, that recalls another incident.
When they came to South
Carolina, at the last of tie war.
they wore sent down near Branch- 1
villo and wore put one ni?jht to relievo
some militia, who always
camped alon^ a brunch, and the
day after they camped there he
found the Federals had climbed up
the trees of the swamp and tired
down upon their breastworks and
next morning they went in the
i branch and commenced dropping
those Yankees like ducks. One |
Yankee called out. "What troops
are tho-c?" lie said militia; and
he said, "You are a - liar. They
are not milit ia. ? My comrades, I
will say friends, because I am a
' friend of every comrade who has
been true. You are my fiicmls
and 1 have been appointed by the
cam]), which honors me by bearing !
my name, to return thanks to you
mr coming, to welcome you here,
iih 1 do for them, for myself, for;
every bravo man in Columbia, for
every noble and patriotic woman
who still clings to tlm faith which
inspires us. 1 welcome you, and 1
the mayor Iiiik extended to you the
freedom of the city. You are wel- j
come ami the freedom of Colum- '
hia is offered you. and 1 am sure
that in no other place in the win Id,
in the South, could you feel a
brighter welcome. I have seen
many of my old men from (Jeor^ia
and other States. \\ e are honored
tonight hy having an old soldier,
(Jen. (Jordon, from (Jeor^iu, with
us. He has come to do honor to
Columbia, where he helped us so
much in IS7(? and all of you who
were in the cavalry will join me
when I say we were always r;lad ,
when we knew (Jen. (Jordon was
leading his men. (Applause.) lie
is here, and I. for you, thank him
for t he honor he does.
Now, iiiy friends, 1 can say
nothing more to yon. 1 have (
come from a siek bed that 1 uiiyht
meet you, ii11(I it'll you 1 have
never forgotten the old 101?SVIIO.
when wo ciiinped together. They
say our en use lias liecn los': bill a
just eauso never dies. It will live
forever, and I pray to (iod that in
the hearts of all men who fouirht
so bravely they will reiueinber 1 hat
though the cause on earth is lost,
it will Ioii^t oo down the panes of
history as one of the noblest and
greatest struggles and made by
the noblest army that ever trod
this ereen earlh.
At the conclusion of (len.
Hampton's speech, the following
remarks were made by (Jen. dohn
It. (iordon:
"I ii in not a Carolinian, but I'm
a (Jeor^ian. and can prove it by
this entire audience. I am stand,
ino tonight on South Carolina
soil, and in the very heart of
hearts of Soul hern chivalry. More
than that. I am standing in the
presence of the very greatest man
that it has ever produced in ail
t ime, ( Lfreat applause,) and I mean
no vain llatlerv. I use no iiiimean.
in?X words \v!?? n 1 sny that. Inking
him us m private citi'/.cn. as a soldier
upon a hundred bloody fields,
as the hero of Kecoiistnudion,
worse than war and the vfory lield.
standing today in liis mitriit like
the mountains on your own northem
border, with the very clouds
around his head and dust of the
past at his feet, without one stain
in his life, without the possibility
of a doubt, I pronounce Wade
Hampton the chief of men, and
now my Con fed rate brothers. I
want to say that it has been my
fortune to stand b ?fore some threat
armies in this country and in foreign
lands, but as (tod is my J
jud/e, I believe that a convent ion I
of Confederate veterans is the I
noblest ^ralherinu that ever met
beneath the stars, and it requires
no piercinii vision to rend upon
the brow of every man present the
four letters, II E K-O." j'
Timrod's Poetry Stilt Live?.
Lovers of genuine poetry, levers
of sweetness nnd light, learn with
grat ificntion that <nt May 1 a bronze
bust of Henry Tim rod was unveiled
in Washington Square,
Charleston, S. C., with appropriate ,
ceremonies of appreciation. One
thin volume contains all that Timrod
published, but it. is precious,
unci will not soon die. His work
for the most part was clone during j
the terrible days of the civil war,
when his country men of the South
were too much absorbed in the
lespernte fortunes of their section
to give much heed to the singer,
L'ven when their cause was the
inspiration of his songs. The p.'ission
of the South, in its highest
phase of devotion and sacrifice,
had no more inspirod voice than
his. He 41i 111 tn IS<?7 in dire poverty,
the victim of consumption.
He died almost unknown heyoiul a
small circle < f admirers. < )nc of
the earliest admirers of bis verse
was (Jov. Andrew, who committed
to memory and often recited aloud
in his ollioe as a relief from the
strain of toil one of his poems,
which In* had found in a newspaper.
lit! was really introduced
to the public through a small volume,
collected and published with
a sympathetic sketch of his life by
his fiiend Paul 11. llayne. Since
that time he has steadily jjp'own in
favor. This is the season when
his noble poem. ''Spring,*' appeals
to all hearts. It is hardly possible
tor one who knows it to look
upon the wm (Is in May and not
recall the lines:
tn the deep heart of every forest tree
The hlooil is all aylee.
And there's a look about the leailess
bowers
As it they dreamed of flowers.
