The pre-arranged effort to howl
down John Gary tivatis in Charleston
a few days ago will do that , '
gentleman no harm in his race for i
the U. S. Senate. 'Twas a con
temptib|e effort to tlirottle free j
speech?the speech of a man who |
in an honorable nnd as good pemo- '
erat as any of )iis competitors. I
True South Carolinians love fair |
]?lay,and many who did not intend '
(o vote for Mr. Evans will resent
this unfair discriininalion by going
to the polls on election day and '
pasting their ballots for him.

Without the least intention of '
offending or offering gratuitous '
advice to the voters of Lancaster

The Kansas farmers have overeoinu
the physical inertia of the |
ftoho. They did it with a gun. .
The deficiency of farm hands
in Kansas is estimated at about
ten thousand men. The harvest '
fields, with their golden seas of ^
overripe urn in, are ending for men. ^
A fipight train westward bound ^
was wrecked near the town of
Pratt. On tlie train there were
fifty or sixty tramps bound for
Colorado for thpir health. The
farmers heard of if, and offered ,
1 hem $3 a day Hud plenty of food
find shelter. "J?hoy declined the
offer. Thereupon the fanners triod
shotgun persuasion, with the result
that m firly nil of the trumps aye
now toiling in !|ie harvest fields of
Pratt county, and they will he
kept at it until the wheat is all
garnered. The picturesque feat
urn of the episode in furnished by
the women of the farms, who aye
acting as guards, eaph armed with
a shotgun.
Anti-Imperialists After Cleveland.
The New England Anti-Imperi
HiiHiic i^epgne ib alter ex -J*re0Klent
Cleveland for his address before the
Tilden Club in New York, beeauae
lie did not attack imperialism. The
secretary has sent a personal letter
to Mr. Cleveland, Baying in part:
"It. may seeni presumptions to
aniline since you had been persuaded
after ao long a period of relicenee
to address a political gathering
with words of counsel that
Hiese words were not fully and i
tinally considered. Yet the omission
of ?ny uistinet-ullneion to the j
colonial policy in your address at
the T'lden banquet has caused
Biich general remark in r.li quarters,
and iu many quarters such :
acquto disappointment, that I veil- :
tore to urge upon yon the import- i
a nee of adding some recommend"- !
tion as to^its treatment to yonr
diiH utisiotTo| the duty of the P? m
i
oeratie part3' and to ask you to define
your views pf that duty toward
a question on which the voice of the
American people has not yet had a
fair chance to be hoard.
"As one who so earnestly desires
Democratic harmony and who reuards
with respect the independent
and conscientious vote which can
only bring about that success and
restore the equilibrium and the
health of the republic, I appeal to
you to add the weight of jour ml
vocaey to the principles already
practically adopted as Democratic
principles."
Child Labor In Cotton Mills.
The Industrial Journal, pub- j
lished at Charlotte, N. C., oilieial i
oronn of the Ktnte LVdm-nt i. m of i
Labor, Iwih begun a strong fight
against child labor in tho cotton
inilIh and Iimh inaugurated the following
plan for releasing children
From mill labor:
The paper proposes to raise a
Fund to be paid to the mill chil
dren?the same in amount as that
paid them by the mills? the money j
to be contributed by any person
desiring to aid this cause. As
some of the children make about
twenty cents per day $1.20 will
keep a child out of the mill for
>ne week.
The Industrial Journal proposes i
to give the children the amount of ;
Ihe wages and then let them go |
entirely free, playing, eating and i
resting, as they may desire, on !
condition, however, that each child
dial! attend school during any i
jfiven seh ol term.
The in >ney, according to The
Tournal, is to lie placed in the
liamls of a committee, who sliall
lispose of the Hame in the wisest
tuanner possible, taking care to
lid the most worthy and youngest
lirst.
Replying to an editorial of the
Iiostoii Herald in which it is "re
^retted that during the recent ses- |
lions of tht' Legislatures in the
States of the South very little headway
has been made in pissing
restrictive laws in the matter of
nnploying child labor in manufacturing
establishments," the oil

To those of your readers wire
ure interested in the campaign now
go'ng on in South Carolina, for (
Ibiited States senator, will probahly
he inter aster} to learn something
about the ages of the six
candidates, and 1 therefore give
below n table stating when and
where the candidates were born, '

State:
\Vi| bun Elliott, of Ileanfort,
born there September, 1838, and
is now fill years old.
George Johnstone, of Newberry, !
born there April, 1810, and is 50 ,
years old.

Will Oppose McLaurin's Confirmation.
A Washington special to the
Baltimore Sun nays that the end:
of the hitter and sensational light 1
l between Senators Benjamin K.
Tillman and John L. McLaurin, of j
South Carolina, is not yet. Sena- j
tor Tillman says he will oppose oil
the floor of the senate his col- ;
league's appointment to the I nited
States court of claims hencli. Tie ;
fin thcrmore says that ho will not
confine his opposition to the executive
session, hut that he intends
to say in open senate, and say
plainly, why his colleague should
not he continued as a judge.
Mr. Tillman says he pr< poses to
place in the UongresBlonal Itecortl
all the allegations that have been
made charging Senator McLaurin
with betraying bis parly, ami in
addition bis own personal criticism
and bis own reasons for denying
McLaurin's confirmation for a
lefelong position.
Friends of both senators now
say that should Tillman carry out
his threats it would only serve to
renew the bitterness of the tight
which last winter led to a hand to
hand encounter on the floor of the
senate while in session. On this
account the president has been
urged to give Senator McLaurin
s line position outside the judiciary,
for Tillman lias told bis
friends Hint he would not carry j
his opposition to an appointment
that was not to the bench.
The president is said to he considering
this view of the situation
and some other appointment is not
impossih'e, Willi the Democratic
opposition against Senator McLaurin,
it is said that there is grave
doubt if lie could bo continued as 11
judge of the court of claims.
