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.

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

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

and disease. Three ollicers and
D.'l men are missing, and ;>7<? of all
ranks Wounded. The total dronned
out of tlu* lighting miiks for the

A Comparison.
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. "Those are facts I
from history," said the speaker, j
"which show what a great army
we had, the greatest army that
ever a scmhlcd to do battle."?Ux.
