We agree with a contemporary that there is sound sense in what Herbert Hoover, ex-Secretary McAdoo and Senator Borah say about this scramble for the presidency. So far it's a scramble based wholly on the political aggressiveness of candidates whose views on important questions are practically unknown to the people. These men are taking advantage of the psychological condition of the public mind, dissatisfied with but not decided as to a remedy. If these candidates have given the matter any thought at all they evidently believe that if they succeed they can satisfy. They are taking a big chance as are the people who are "instructing" delegates for them. It's the old game; why not play it in the old way? There are several reasons why a new game should be played in a new way. First, conditions may materially change before the national conventions are held, greatly influencing public opinion. Second, tne independent vote this year will be too big a factor to be ignored with impunity. Third, there I i rpnannolvlo ni?^ ?l? ? . . ..?wV.a.?*w p* vwpvwi. biaov aiiuusb t&B many women as men will vote in thiB presidential election, and women cannot be counted before their votes are cast. Such possibilities may in a measure be discounted, yet this means the taking of "the gambler's chance," besides the "uninatr >cted" delegates generally reflect best at the crucial moment public opinion of both issues and candidates. Justice for the Catawbas. > Columbia Record. Without questioning the humane and friendly purpose of the South Carolina commission which is soon to repair t> the Catawba Indian reservation near Fort Mill, for the purpose of trying to effect a settlement with that race, The Record hopes that full justice will be done toward the Indians. For nearly 400 years the noblest race of mankind on the broad face of the earth has been buffeted about, kicked and cuffed like a yellow hound, insulted, snubbed and openly robbed of home and all that makes life dear, by a job lot of hypocrites, stalking to and fro, boasting all the while that they are the "most liberty loving" people on land or sea? that's us. In other words, we take with the red hand of the plunderer valuable lands. virgin iure.su, roaring screams, and in return "treat" with the victims we have robbed and perchance give them a "sop" out of the victuals we have taken from them. Indeed, the Indian of South Carolina, now alas ! only a skeleton of his former self, has been treated on the same plan as was the Maine hunter's dog. A hunter got lost in the Maine woods and wandered about for several days, with no companion save his dog. Finally to keep from dying by starvation he cut off the dog's tail, roasted it, and after gnawing it clean, gave the poor dog the bone of its own tail to gnaw. That is the fate of the Red Man whom we have about annihilated. Now the tragedy will be complete if the home life of the brave, proud, noble people whom we know as the Indidans, be they Catawbas or Pimas, if every safeguard for their protection, uplift and care are not thrown about them. And while we are about it, we again declare that South Carolina should hang its head in shame because it tries to force a proud, disdainful people like the Indians to school their children with negro pupils. Thank God they refuse and that they look not up to us, nor any animal, from a white man down to a jack rabbit, to this day. Lient. Doner to Marry.

I < i??" 7^11^* 11 ^fcii^n^fcu^n^i] | The Malay has been a fearful enemy far months. I have been every night, through his means, transported into Asiatic scenes. 1 know not whether others share in my feeling on this point; but I have often thought that if I were compelled to forego England, and to live in China, and among Chinese manners and modes of life and scenery, 1 should go mad. The causes of my horror lie deep; and some of them must be common to others. Southern Asia, in general, is the seat of awful images and associations. As the cradle of the human race, it would alone have a dim and reverential feeling connected with it. But there are other reasons. No man can pretend that the wild, barbarous and capricious superstitions of Africa, or of savage tribes elsewhere, affect him in the way that he is affected by the ancient, monumental, cruel and elaborate religions of Indoetan, etc. The mere antiquity of Asiatic things, of their institutions, histories, mode* of faith, etc., is so impressive that to me the vast age of the race and name overpowers the sense of youth in the individual. A young Chinese seems to me an antediluvian man renewed. Even Englishmen, though not h?H In > knowledge of such institutions, cannot out shudder at the mystic sublimity of castes that have flowed apart, and refused to mix, through such immemorial tracts of timp; nor can any man fail to be awed by the names of the Ganges, or Euphrates. It contributes much to these feelings that Southern Asia is, and has been for thousands of years, the part of the earth most swarming with human life; the great offlcia gentium. Man is a weed in those regions. The vast empires also, in which the enormous population of Asia has always been cast, give a further sublimity to the feelings associated with all Oriental names or images. In China, over and above what it has in common with the rest of Southern Asia, I am terrified by the modes of life, by the manners, and the barrier of utter abhorrence, and want of aympathy, placed between us by feelings deeper than I can analyze. I could sooner live with lunatics, or brute animals. All this, and much more than 1 can say, or have time to say, the reader must enter into before he can comprehend the unimaginable'horror which these dreams of Oriental imagery, ani mythological tortures, impressed upon me. Under the connecting feeling of tropical heat and vertical sunlights, I brought together all creatures, birds, beasts, reptiles, all trees and plants, usages and appearances, that are found in all tropical regions, and assembled them together in China or IndoBtan. From kindred feelings, I soon brought Egypt and all her gods under the same law. I was stared at, h(>oted at, grinned at, chatted at, by monkeys, by paroquets, by cuckatoos. 1 ran into pago.ias, and was fixed for centuries at the summit or in secret rooms; I was the idol; I was the priest; I was worshipped; 1 was sacrificed. 1 fled from the wrath of Brama through all the forests of Asia; Vishnu hated me; Seeva laid wait for me. I came suddenly upon Isis and Osiris; I had done a deed, they said, which the ibis and the crocodile trembled at. I was buried, for a thousand years, in stone coffins, with mummies and sphynxes, in na*Mki? .? *?- - ' .luivn uiwuucii m me neun 01 eternal pyramids. 1 was kissed, with cancerous kisses, by crocodiles, and laid, confounded with unutterable slimy things, amongst reeds and Nilotic mud.
