Tn the Senate tho other day Senator Tillman asked Bill Chandler of N. II. a question and Bill retorted upon Ben that lie was a "populist." Senator Till man denied tho soft impoachment, ex plaining that he was a democrat. As they said when the writer attended Old Field School?"you better mind who you fool with, Bill Chandler." ** ? Presidont James Monroe, who an nounced tho Monroe doctrine, was a Virginian of cavalier descont. Ho Borved in tho British army and after wards in tho Continental army. It was about 1823, when Monroe was Presi dont, our Government acknowledged the independence of Mexico, when Eu rope was just emerging from tho throat cutting business in which she had been engaged during tho Napoleonle ware. The South Amorican dependencies wore declaring their independence of Spain and Portugal. Tho European Slates were hesitating about acknowl ing their independence, our Govern ment taking tho initiative. It was in those stirring times that President Monroe announced the doctrine that European States must hands oil from interfering with. Amorican affairs. In the course of hie lifo ho hold many pub lic ofllcos for which ho recoived $860, 000, which was expended largely in charity and benovolencc. Without a cent ho retired to privato lifo accept ing a small county office of his natlvo ile. Ho died and was buried in )w York.

The point was long ago argued ana pronounced constitutional, but it is believed that the decision may be re versed by the Court as now constituted. The Atlanta Journal (no friend of Ben Tillman) says that that Senator has a dainty suite of rooms at tho daintiest hotol in Washington patronised by the smart set, in New York parlance, the Four Hundred. Thoro would be no wars if those who bring them on had tho fighting to do. This point has been made of old time and is not an original observation of ours. A case involving the constitutionality of tho dispensary law will bo argued in tho United States Supremo Cdurt in Febuary; Bryan, of Charleston against and Attorney Goncral Barber for con stitutionality. * * * \ .
