LAU KENS, 8. Om JUNK . 1000. At lloiue and Abroad. Our lust week's analysis of the situa tion abroad remains about the same. The British have entered Pretoria and that trouble is about over. The l?ng lishers went da't and made idiots ul themselves at the news But men. much less peoples, are not wise ai d dignified at all times. Jupiter seine tlmos nods. The wisest of us loose our dignity and Hing upourbatsat a lessor than Paul. And hence Shakespeare ? "What tools we mortals bo!" The "Boxers" or ruling element in Ohmn, resent tho onoroaehmenta of Foreigners and commit murders ami break the peace. Congress adjourned hist Thursday according to the program. The past throe months in both houses of Con gress bus witnessed a battle to control tin ballots at the November election and tin boodle dependent upon their colors. But it was ever thus. We are not degenerating. It was bitterer, Bavager and more corrupt in the days of Washington, .IcH'orson, Jackson. Lincoln und Grant. So the ghosts of these departed spirits can take no Mat tering unction to their souls that thej were pure and white in comparison ?Ith their children and descendents. The New York and Maryland demo crats in Stale Couvontion were happy families and declared for Bryan. In Now York, Hill had the swing once more and with Croker gees to Kansas Gity. They will vote as a unit solid for Bryan- Thus the Democracy of the nation in the coming campaign will show a united solid front to the en emy. It will therefore be a fair ami square test of the strength of parties and excuses will come with poor grace after the battle. The result svill turn on New York. As goes New York, so goes Connecticut, New Jersey and Murylund, and as go tin sc so goes the election. The latest advices show insurrcc tioniary disturbances l:l Northern China to lie serious. The great Powers are protecting their resident citizens, landing marines at the sea ports. The Powers are greatly concerned at the possible turn of alTatrs. But why, ex cept for greed, trade and a grab game, in case the empire goes to pieces. We can't divine. i.vents will no doubt shape themselves. Otis has landed at Sun Francisco, .foo 'A heeler has landed into a Briga dier Generaley. Dewej is still in the wooly West The Philadelphia Na tional Convention is on our heels and tho republicans on tip-too as to second place. The State Hall opens to-mor row at Orangeburg and the fun Is on. But it whl lie a dud day in South Caro lina. There is nothing in the issues to excite much interest. Nevei tholess the Importance <>f things is oxngerated and people go wild only to tame down after the event and wonder what they have been excited about. Tho end proves the value of all things. ? * * Last Hours of Congress. The body adjourned on Thursday uf tor three days and nights of unexam pled scandal iiiougering, crimination and recrimination. Fraud and corrup tion of the lllthiest and foulest was openly charged against the Republican managers, tho chief and great accuser a United States Senator, the charges as bitterly denied and denounced on the other side. Scenes like these are un exampled in the Senate. The trouble grows out of Olli'being SO rich so tine a field for plucking and pillaging Think of a government lcgltamatel,\ disbursing in expenditure eight hun dred millions annually. There has boon not hing like it in till history. Of course there was over corrupt ion and stealings in government. Politicians, their un cles, their cousins, and their aunts havo overlived by preying on the body po litic. Hut in the days of Jackson, thirty millions kept the government going. We havo a million pillagers now f< r the thousand forinorlv. Hut it is the monstrous "combine to be combat ed now no) individual thieves. A change to the l)omocrne,\ will ho a mighty reform they will not prove a tenth so consumate in iho game of robbery They do not understand it they havo never had a training ill car pet buggery. If hall Is true as charged upon Itopuhllean rogues in power and place, and their managers, then tin rottenness Ik almost uticurahlo. To de feat such a combination is tho problem and the task bet?re the Democratic party. Once before it was suggested that tin- thieves were strong enough to hang lip t he honest tuen. Tilluiaiit The Senator is at home. It is an nounced that be will speak at Orange burg and at a few other county meet ings. His work, during tho campaign will be in South Dakota and other ? doubtful Stales Senator I'ottlgl'CW, ol South Dakota, ill tho session just closed bore the heat and burden of the day for the democrats and is gored from head to foot with republican shafts ami pol SOned arrows and seeks re-election <o the Semite.

Mr. Henry, of Prince ton. Among the many tilings Mr. Johnson said we note this in par tlctllar: ''The greatest drawback to the education of the masses of tho country childr, n is the pulling them in the factories to toil from early morn till dewey eve. There they arc brought up and deprived of every condition that favors their development men tally, morally and physically." Pa rents ought to let it he the last resort lo mako a living. It does seem to us that we ought to think more of the training of our children than wo do the dollar. Will not our Legislature pis.- a law to prohibit the employment of children in the factories'.
