LAU KENS, S. Cm Mar. 20. 1001. The Has (.'beweis. Now conies the report that Senator McLaurin Inn asked to be str iken from the rolls of the Democratic caucus lf this he true, then Mr. MoLaurln oreases to regard himself a Democrat. He has generally voted with the Re publicans on cruolul party tests. To give the devil his due though the quotation Is not strictly applicublo to as lightly mischievous a politician as th? milk torn peratu red MoLaurln,?his course lias not been inconsistent with his whole cnieerof fantubtio cortor tions. When Mr. McLaurin was a candidate for the Senate in tin: IVU7 primary, his political affiliations and tendencies wer?, pointed out and -trussed by news papers strenuously opposed to his elec tion, lie took the platform declaring with only a gauzy prcfersu of conceal ment for policies that meant the in evitable annihilation of the Democratic party if carried out He was pilloried during that campaign us the friend and er.iis-ary of Tom Ueod and the Repub lican party in the Democratic ranks, ns the receiver and the beneficiary of Re publican largo*?, as the new evangel of every heresy that the spirit of Jef ferson Beeuied to contemn. But?but?bu-?the stentorian voices Of the Democratic Pret?B in the Slate wore for McLaurin. It was whispered that tho almighty deal got in its work and McLaurin WHS elected. True only about hslf the Di mocrats of the State wore so far impressed us to participate In his elootion, true ho received fur less, than half of the state's Democratic vote, but, with a full knowledge abroad In the State of his impudent IlirtationB with the Republican party, be did receive a majority of tho vote cast, those votors being egged on by the most Influential voices that claimed to speak for South Carolina Democ racy. In what has this leopard charged Its spots since then'.-' Who dares Hing the first pebble at Curly-locks? By what token have the members of the Great Society of (lulls to Resolve and Repudiate, fume, spit and stamp, now that nine days have passed and their eyes are opened? McLaurin re sign? Pish! Tush! Hear hi in reply: "Go to! lie you re signed! you that knew mo, you that groomed me, you that invested me with this swo t and smooth dignity, am I responsible that you no longer have tho strong stomachs that you were blessed with in 1807? It is you, I say, that have changed?go R.o, and "chew the rag!" ?*? The Kicker. He has boon on hand from time im memorial. Helen was so beautiful a Princess that all tho Grecian 1'rlncee (rejected lovers) took a solemn oath, if she should be insulted or outraged they would make common cause and vindicate her honor. Paris, a Trojan Prince, captivated by her charms, c n trlved to kidnap and carry her to Troy, the city of Priam, his father. All the Greek 1 Vinci s called upon to resent t be outrage and summoned to bring their quota of armed men responded, except Ulysses, who kicked, and being in love with his wife Penelope bad no smell for tho war, pretending lunacy. They found him ploughing the sands of the sea shore and iueapab'e of coherent speech. They however, placed the baby boy, Tolomaohus, In front of the great Oxteam, when the father puled up and was thus exposed. The siege ol 'jtroy :....i<.d ten yours, Achilles, tin prime hero 0i .bo Greeks, retiring t< his tent In the sulk-, proving a first class klckor and thus procrastinating the war. Twelve years ago Hen Till mau turned up ;.s ;i new factor In poli tics in South Carolina and with terrific kicking for two ye.u s and tho assist ance of Tom Witts n, (no McCuoe, and others (now gone glimmering) "smash ed" existing conditions In South Caro lina, suouos&fu ly kicking everything tc death, even of Iiis own faction who failed to too the mark and tako u good tight hold on the tail of his upper gar ment. Having smoothed tho way in these diggings and having removed ovory obstacle, wo find our Erigclicld hero for six years at Washington, handling his well trained toes, heols and shins as of old. It is melan choly, however, to find thut boyond the Potomac, and tho Ohio, the road has (Continued to grow stumpier and stump ier, and tho army-mule talent of our .Senator of no avail, though Irrosistablo in his own little bailiwick, South Caro lina. Indeed, melancholy to content plate, the talent for kicking would seem no longer t > ayail and wo find our hero reduced to the humiliating Ofllo i of drawing his salary of $5,000 and mile age. Then again, true to tho aphorism ?when tho old cock crows tho young one loarns how?We Und Curly-headed Johny out of tho traces, kicking way ovor the dash-board, utterly oblivious of where ho started, and th? tight hold ho had for years upon tho ample skirts of which wo have just spoke ?. Wo think he wl 1 live to iegret tho letting loose of his hold.It is needless to say that wo a o entirely in accord with Senator Tillman, but we can't forego to remind him that the Augean stables wore at Washington and that ho was m'stukon in locating them nt tho club rooms in Columbia. Neal's Penitentiary admin istration hadn't eventuated. Col. Tol bert's noble oxerotso of both feet of Friday nlg'Hs, when Pensions "was the argument," we reserve for a future oc casion. Death of Ex-Picsidcnt Harrison. The death of this distinguished citi zen, of pneumonia, occurred at Indian apolis, on Wednesday last. He had tho respect of till parties In the United StItcs, though a still-necked parti/in Republican. Ho was a grand-son of William Henry Harrison, old "Tippa canoe," a Whig I'resident, ami his an cestors woro Colonial Governors of Virginia. As an honest man, tho lato President was worthy of his distingu ished ancestry. He was bitterly op posed to McKinley's commercial for eign policies. On (ho evo of leaving for Europe last week Carnegie gave live millions to bo used for tho benefit of the aged and helpless employ.es in his groat steel business. And ho gives hundreds of thousands weekly for public libraries. * * (_?_ _ No Right to Ugliness.
