ALMER & SON.,
The Panama Canal continues just
as near completion as it has been at
anv time in the past. The testimony
taken here before the senate commit
tee shows that it must lie built by
alien labor, as the climatic conditions
are such that American labor cannot
work there. Engineer Stevens says
that his alien labor must be Chinese,
as no other foreign labor is suitable.
If the work is continued by Jandaica
negroes it will take much longer and
he much more expensive, as a Jamai
ca negro won't do more than 25 per
cent), as much work as an ordinary
laborer. It ft estimated that if done
by Chinese it can be finished $80,000,-
000 cheaper than by Jamaicans. The
Chinese government won’t allow us
to take Chinese unless it is done by
responsible people, and under the
strongest guarantee that they will be
taken back to China when through.
That is just what we want. By all
means get the Chinese'and save our
taxpayers that eighty millions.
In order to build the canal by alien
labor it is necessary that the provis
ions of the eight-hour law and the
contract labor law be made inappli
cable to alien labor employed In the
canal zone during the construction of
the canal. Some steps to bring this
about have already been taken, and
it is reported that the senate com
mittee are now framing a general bIW
which will govern the construction
of the canal, and do away with the
red tape and vexatious problems
which have tied it up in the past.
Such a bill ought to be supported by
every American taxpayer, for it’s his
money that is building the canal and
it should be done as economically as
))ossible.
Nothing has attracted the attention
of the manufactuing interestis of the
country since the days of tariff re
vision so much as the Money amend
ment to the pure food bill. It is be
ing carefully studied by the interested
parties on both sides, the manufact-
iirer of food products and the men
whose duty it will be to eniorce the
law. and meets with the warmest
commendations from all. It is en
tirely free from any constitutional ob
jections. and is the only bill so Tar
proposed which regulates the manu
facture of foods without prohibiting
the same on the say so of one man.
it will prove a boon to the manufact
urer, a protection to the public and
the means of absolute regulation by
the government in a fair and equita
ble manner of the production of arti
cles for human consumption. Its only
opponent is Prof. Wylie, who sees his
finish if it passes, as he won’t be aide
to waste $200,000 to $300,000 of the
people’s money each year in maintain
ing his useless poison squad.
Says Tillman is a Dictator.
(From the Kershaw Era.;
There ig perhaps no parallel In the
history of this State of the spectacle
now being presented to the people of
Soutn Carolna of a representative
whom they have so highly and so
signally honored abusing their confi
dence to the degree that is being done
by the'senior Senator from this State.
He has become so besotted with arro
gance that he Imagines nimself to
have had delegated to him the su
preme supervision and dictatorship of
all South Carolina affairs and that all
men everywhere In the State must
do his bidding or suffer tne vials of
his wrath and Indignation to be
poured out upon them submissively
and uncomplainingly.
We have not agreed with Senator
Tillman always, but we have not
failed to recognize his ability and the
splendid opportunity he has had of
distinguishing himself in a most fa
vorable manner. But he has not chos
en the method of leaving his impress
ion upon the history of the State that
would have redounded much more to
his credit than will be his lot. Every
renewed expression of confidence by
the people has been attended on his
part, with a large assumption of flow
er. This Is unquestionably due to the
fact that his election has been regarded
as of course, and no one Iras had the
temerity to oppose him. Senator Till
man Is able, but he is not infallible;
he is useful, but not Indispensable,
and his repeated unwaranted. vituper
ative and Intolerable excoriations of
thosp who differ with him in matters
of morality and public policy deserve
and the colonies in 1753. The first
work assigned to Gen.Washington
was to find the French commander
who was then in the Ohio valley. His
mission to the French being that of
carrying an order from Gov. Dinwid
dle of Virginia, askng him to vacate
the valley at once. This he would
not do so Washington found his first
work in war at Fort Necessity, Here
with only a few men he held his fort
all day under a heavy fire and an
overwhelming army against him.
After a day of hard fighting in the
fort, he promised to surrender the
fort, if the enemy jvould allow them
'to go home without molestation; this
they did, so we see here the first
siens of a freeman contending for his
rights. Time fails me now to follow
up his life further in these Indian
wars. Hence I hasten on to the war
that made us free from the bonds of
England. •
In 1775 the words that Patrick Hen
ry had made famous in the Virginia
assembly ran through every lK>som
that contained the love of home or
country in it.
The words being “Give me liberty
or give me death.” was soon in every
mouth, then the colonist declared
they ought to have the rights of send
ing men to England to help make the
laws bv which they were ruled. This
England refused and war was declar
ed in 1776. Washington now climbs
the ladder of fame to Its topmost
rounds and standing at Cambridge
he is made the commander in cnief
of one of the greatest armies ever as
sembled on American soil and. there
fore. has now fof himself a name that
the warfare of vears will never erase.
We rjow follow ‘his life down
through years of arduous warfare.
We seje him In victory and we see
him in defeat. Every ‘ime he ap
pears the sama polished heroic gen
Meniaii. We read of him as he spent
days of anxiety and nights of pain in
order that his men might have food
and clothng.
But now the war cloud begins to
clear away. One streak of hope is
drawn across the western horizon.
Cornwallis Is fortified ac Yorktown
here he is beseiged by Washington
and surreriders - English arms to
America on October 19th. 1781.
Now every one felt that the long
war had ceased and swift messengers
of truthfulness even a his young!
life.
At only seventeem years of age he
was employed to survey the valley of
Virginia by Lord Fairfax. So here
we might say his public life began.
Then, school mates, let us resolve to
make his life our model and always
stand for right and patriotism, and
remember,
“Lives of all great men remind us.
Let us make ours subline,
And departing leaves behind us,
Footprints on the sand of time.”
Washington a Statesman.
The next place we see this hero
we see him taking the oath of presi
dent of the United States, in 1789,
as the first chief executive who ever
sat in the presidental chair. So then
we can very readily see why he was
calleld the "Father of our Country.”
Because he managed the affairs cf
the nation so well in its infancy. He
served two terms as president and
had the opportunity of the office for
the third term, but this he refuse!.
No nresident ever labored under so
many disadvantages as he did.
America owed large sums of money
to France and Holland. So tnese
debts had to be paid by a tariff tax.
But then as the cautious statesman,
Washington, stands at the wheel to
guide the affairs aright of this great
republic. So he mans the vessel
of the republic well and gains for
himself a name that has never been
equaled in the annuals of history.
What tills great statesman has
done for our people has neveir been
rightly appreciated by us as a nation.
Yet, we are glad to see that our In
stitutions of learning are doing all In
their power to ever perpetuate his
memory. Yes, kingdoms rise and
fall, Dynasties will come an! go.
Wars will fill lands with desolation.
But, thank God, the name of Wash-
ngton will ever live as long as true
histories are written.
May the day never dawn when his
name shall go into oblivion, and shall
be no longer cherished. During his
term of office many very serious mat
ters came up. Among these were the
Apolitical irartie’s” troubles with
England an! France and trouble
with “Indians and the whiskey in-
surection.”
But in all these Washington seem
ed ready to meed the emergency, and
always ended the cruelties that would
have beem brought upon his people
by bloody war.

Rjoscveit Has Great Respect For the
South Carolina Senator, Says Dolli-
ver, After Recent Conference.
Washington,.! Fe$j. 24.—The great
est sensation in Washington is the
selection of Senator Tillman to con
duct the fight on the floor of the sen
ate for a ratel bill. The Republican
rate leaders talked persistently about
It this morning and said the presi
dent was pleased.
Senator Dolliver called on the pre
sident and when going away was ask
ed whether he would bring Tillman to
confer with the president. Dolliver
dodged the question, good naturedly
and said: “I’ll tell you this The
president told me ten days ago he
had the greatest respect for Tillman
because hel regarded Tillman as an
able man and a game fighter, and
above all an honest man. Don’t mis
take the fact that the] president likes
Tillman, despite their supposed en
mity.”
Senator Tillman said yesterday
that one of the most essential amend
ments he should endeavor to procure
looks to “the absolute divorce of pub
lic carriers, as such, from the produc
tion of coal, as miners, which condi
tion of monopoly has created such a
strong feeling of dissatisfaction and
anger in the bituminous and anthra
cite coal regions.He has alrea'y
drafted an amendment covering this
point. He said that something also
ought to be done to compel the trunk
lines to make connection with spurs
and feeding lines, and give them fair
treatment in the distribution of cars
and offer equal facilitiete with other
shippers.

looking for their real father. The
authorship has been claimed for a
dozen different persons, but the search
continues. They were attributed to
Sidney Lanier—but he did not write
them. Why conceal the authorship
any longer? The Atlanta Journal and
the Constitution are entirely too mod

These lines are the joint production
of Hoke Smith and Clark Howell.
