MAY 11)01. In Memory of Johi L. McLaurin. John L. McLhtrin, the junior Betmlor from Soutl Carolina, departed his political pnreer at ClalT ney, S. C., oil the 25 h day <tf May, 11101. after a short bit very severe I attack of Republican Bin contracted while in the United States Senate. Johnnie was regular in attendance, a noble worker, and was never known to let an opportunity pass to cast his b illot vith?the ndniin- | istrutiou under vhich he served. Friends of the junior Senator noticed several nonths ago that he was failing in democratic faith, but, in the liopt that lie would soon recover, not much was said , of the matter. 13it n'las, whoa he went up against tucii a etaunch Democrat as lien 'hilinan, his Re- ; publican mania hirst forth in such fury that he couli not boar up under.the strain aid the end came as suddenly as a tlunderbolt from a clear sky. The nuno1. of John L. McLaurin will go town into his- , . lory as the man will) made n lllielitv etl'ort to l!??*lnbl .-ni?i-v.. I South Carolina andfnilhd. --* * /VIcLaurin at (i eenillle. Senntor John L. blcllntiriii de- ; elated Ilia views on national questions and made an (argument. in support of his poaiiioii before a large audience in Greenville Wednesday. * The Senator ncktnwledged nccountahility to the people only, and refused to obey my political boss. It was an oiBcnl'B duty, lie said, to study public matters and sometimes act indepeideiitly, lending public sent intent,'rather than blindly following tlje supposed majority. In voting m national ]8su-a ho had conaidqred the best interests of the Soi'.h and the country. Some of tlioyj who were ?ondeiutiing him now \ere elected to Congress in 181)2 aa Alliance 1 )einocrats, pledged notto be hound by a Democratic cniihts, hut to vote for the beat iuteipsts of the J nation, irreapeetivo ofi party. A man was tt traitor wit) deserted his party on purely sectional (plea 1 ioiih, such as white Supremacy, i hut it was almost, a criue for any party to make the great nou-politi- I cal measures involving Uie ilevel- ! opmont of the nation a tost of party fealty. There is 10 greater menace to the country, L> the stability of the goveriimeik., than a large minority in Con^nss voting iih partisans on vital Vincrican quest ions. In 181)0 he had behaved free silver was the salvatioi of the country. I nforeseen fibres have come into play gold i om the Klotidyko, money for investment from abroad, increased hanking facilities?and none but a tool would now make a fret> silver speech, lie had secured a depository from the Treasury in a South Carolina bank - the first ok record ?and hoped it was the beginning <>! a movement, to omule our people to get money at 4 lower rate of interest. Mo lind expected some one to cry out "Republican" at liiiu. for doing t hat. Air. McLaurin said ho had looked beyond the sectional line, and had been striving to help South Carolina by promoting tlio mat-rial, political and coinmercinl interests of the common conn try. For this he had been vilely persecuted, lie d.d not c nitrol the federal patronage for this State, but was I proud of the fact that becaus* of i his liberal views and what the I President ealled his patriotic stand he had been consulted on certain questions. The appointments reeoinmended by him were j^oikI ones, for the host interests of the State. The only way the "hesses*' could defeat him would be to have him ruled out of the Democratic primary, and he dared thorn to refuse the white nun of the Slate an opportunity to ex'press themselves on these eat (jestions. Sen it or McLaurin spoke to a lai'oe and representative audience and war frequently npplanded, particularly when ntlackini; Tillman's hos-ism. declaring it was a crime to make great American questions the test of party fealty. 5k^BS Ur>au's Rules for oenijcrau. hi an editorial in the last, issue of the Commoner, Mr Bryan expbiinsjnoiv plainly what his position in the future will lie. Unsays: Ho who tells me how 1 can be a Warwick it not a kui^j, does u.e scant honor when he assumes that 1 am willing to purchase either position at the expense of uiotal or political piinciplcs. As an individual can better afford to retain tils character than ^row rich by dishonorable means, so the Demociatic party can better alford to appeal to the conscience of the people, even though it remains out of power, than to enjoy po\v? r at t he expense of its principles. What shall it profit tin' Democratic party if it Rain power and lose the spirit that has made it indestructible? W hat shall it profit a nation if its lla^ Houts over every sea and its garrisons terrify every land if, in the laiiRUURe <>f Lincoln, it loses the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of ail people in all lands everywhere? This is no time for desertion or hesitation. The I)enioerat ie party was once brought to the Vi r^e of ruin by the same lull iiiiiKnie ii, ?it? a t %** I** I k(l i l> I I I I 11 ? III * D IMMI <11 V* I ) I |\ . Ill a ki'ohI many trusted men dropped out of polities because they were indifferent to fundamental priuciplea or afraid to oppose corporat ioiiH. This is always likely to occur when those who stand in posi.ioiis of I eadership ?;et out of harmony with the tnasius while trying to rjet into harmony with those who vote the Republican ticket, if a man is ready to retire from politics lie may safely join the reorKanizers, but the men who are candidates, or expect to !> , should remember, first. that political success rests upon the voters, and. second, that they cannot afford to allow their loyalty to Democratic principles (not Democratic principles as defined by those who vote the Republican ticket, but Democratic principles as debited by those who vote the Democratic lleKOl ) 1 <> l)t> <| UCSllnilCU. 11 IS much easier to retain confidence ! Iiaii to regain it. It is ncces-ary fur every Democrat who aspires to leadership to let it lie known that he has no sympathy with the attempt to llepublicaui/.o the .Democratic party. To Fore?tall the Issue. The silver question cannot again he utilized hy the Republicans iih a weapon against the Democrats, says the Kansas City Star. The money question is settled for some time to come. The trusts will focus public attention in the next Congressional campaign and in tin' Presidential canvass in 11)01. Congressman Bnbcoek wants to place his parly in position to deny the responsibility for the colossal combinations of capital against competition by withdrawing th e lie. use to practice extortion which t he government grants to favored industries. It is a singular evidence of the tyranny of vicious policies long maintained that this wise and wholesome counsel from Mr. liabcock has excited alarm in the party which it is inteded to benefit. ? ? The South African War. The British losses in South Africa during the month of April were fully up to the average of previous months. Twenty-four officers and Sit) men were killed in lighting, by accident, of wounds and disease. Three ollicers and D.'l men are missing, and ;>7<? of all ranks Wounded.

In his address on Memorial Hay in dreen.shorn, N (\, lien. M. \Y. Hansom adverted to the fact that, in the jrrent internecine simple, twenty-one Southern States were pitted against twontv-four States of the North. Tito North had a population of 0,?><>t' in eoiuparison with a population of only H,700,000 in the South. Of tin' Mouth's population 1,WH),C00 wore i slaves, leaving only l.7lH),(j<) t while people against the 2U,800,000 in tite North, a ratio of more than live to one. There were over 111,000,000 soldiers in the Union army, while the highest estimate of any Northern authority gave the Confcdt rates hut HOO.OUO. in addition to this, two-thirds as i many men from the South as we had in the Held were fighting in the I nion army.
