IB Apparently the only tie that

man is the railroad tie.
' From the most reliable reports,
it app' ars that there will, and
tbare will not be a coal.strike.
During his service as pilot for
the|railroad rate bill, Senator Tillman
will probably substitute the
cow-catcher for the pitchfork.
Since Mr. Roose * It had a wedding
in the family, his friend, the
Kaiser, just had to have another
one to keep up with the procession.
Senator Tillman is at home for
a few tin* s. Possibly he is after n
new supply of home-grown pitchforks
to be used in defense of tliv
inle bill.
Castro who says he will break
up the Monroe doctrine and clear

NoVnatter how they,differ with
regard to other questions, in the
Orient, the powers are practically

may not wake up too much.
Captain Hobson declares that
Japan shall not be permitted to
turn China into a great military
nation. The Dowager Empress
will kiss ltiehaid, if he doesn't

t^f?h)nRtor Tillnmn'snys lie is about
to digest the mass of evidence
taken by his committee on railrind
rates,'and yet the senator has
not hitherto been known as a literary
gourmand.
The sacred cow nearly 4,000

IC the railwny rate law does not
contain loophole* through which
s'vernl locomotives of mogul size
co ?ld be driven abreist, some persons
will be agreeably surprised.
Congressmen from the rural districts
get a little consolation from
the fact that it will require more
than *u executive order to do Away
with the congressional free seed
distribution.
The railway rate bill is said to be
so loug that it will take years to
correctly interpret it, from a constitutional
standpoint. In that case
it should be referred to Senator
Bailey of Tex., at once. He is the
constitutional specialist.
We trust that Representative
Ktifer will pause in his efforts to
reduce the representation from
the Southern States on account of
our alleged treatment of the negro,

that was seut over the wires from

In condensed form, the recommendations
of the Armstrong Insurance

are like Horace Greeley's dictum
in regard to the specie payments,
that the way to resume is to resume.
The way to do an insurance

t
Disastrous Fire at Pinevllle.
.TK town of Pineville was again |
visited by a disastrous tire early
Sunday morniug in which property
valued at about $10,000 whh
totally destroyed. The burned district
included uearlv half of the
business section of the village.
The fire started m tho Carolina
Dtiig Company's store, and after
destroying that the fiames spread
to the millinery aud dry goods
store which Miss Tollie Funk managed
for the firm of Mencham &
hpps, of Fort Mill. This buildim?.
which was oftneb by Miss Funk,
together with a part of the stork,
was soon reduced to ashes. There
wat no insurance on either the
building or the 'stock. The fire
next spread to tKb general mercliondise
store of Mnson & Company,
nnd this too was soon destroyed.
It is not kuown bow the fire
originated, or has it been learned
here the amount of insurance, if
any, wss carried by the drug com
pany or Mason & Co. The buildings
burned Sunday morning
were among those which escaped
the destructive fire which visited
Pineville a few years ago, wiping
out practically the entire business
district of the town.

also reasonably certain that the
aggregate amount of property returned
will also be considerably
larger.
