LAUKENS, 8. C, Mar. 20, 1002. That Odious Subsidy. Every political party foars public opinion. It is natural, and the truth of the assertion need not be questioned bocauso it Is borne out In numerous instances by history,?examples of which can be oasily obtained. Now, that tho Subsidy Bill ha9 passed the Sonate?and it will doubtless pass the House wbh lightning-like rapidity? we are anxious to note what the results of the measure, so intolerable to Dem ocrats, will be, us reflected by tho opin ions of our entire people. Tho bill comes easily under tho cap tion of class legislation, for tho only good to bo derived from it, will be to swell tho coffers of a few big stoam ship companies, and practically only one section of tho country will be benefltted. We do not assert that any measure can apply to all sections of this country aliko. Far from it. but the aim of the loglslator should be to legislate in tho interests of the many, rather than of tho few. This bill Is plainly unjust to most of our people, and no doubt the fact will sooner or later become so well known to thorn that they will mako a bostllo expres sion at tho polls. Wo think we can see faint signs of disapprobation,? hardly hostility as yet?in tho fact that six Republican Senators voted against tho Subsidy Boheme They wore largoly Westerners, though ono New England Senator was opposed to It, and certainly that Is the section most largely all'ectod by tho bill. It may be that the action of these men, reflect ing the viows of their constituents, in a measure at least, is indicative of a growth of sentiment that will frown upon tho sanctioning of such a rank steal by a great party. If so, tho sen timent will grow, and become so pow erful as to cause a disruption of the ?Republican party, partially at least, or else a very decided change in lt9 platform. Ibis will not be sudden or one soon to occur, for such sentiments are gradual growths following tho laws of nature. Wo believe that the peoplo will finally see that a subsidy is eventually wrong in theory as well as morally and politically bad. Surely tho auri sacra fames, the thirst for gold, that seems to have been the mov ing forco behind the measure, will uot ultimately triumph. Hardly?though this vicious measure shows the power of tho trusts. General Nelson A . Miles is about to lose his job. Ho assorts he will no longer hold his commission if the Hawley Bill to provide a generali staff for the Army passes Congress. Gen. Miles is a very plain spoken man, and severely roasts the administration whenever he feels so disposod. It seems that tlrs Hnwley Bill was intro duced at the instigation of tho war department. Doubtless It will, as Miles asserts, bo subversive of tho best interests of that branch of our govorm mont, by creating more opportunities for favoritism, besidos destroying the unity of tho army. Gen. Miles has been rebuked several times for express ing his opinions. When ho talks he invariably incurs the wrath of the powers that be, and as wo remombor, they are Imperialistic. Freedom of speech is fast getting on a parity with the Declaration of Independancc, both being protty nearly back numbers. **? Mr. Thcodoro Roosevelt does not seem to inspiro tho greatest amount of confidence in the minds of the wealthy gentlemen who operate on Wall Street. He Is too Independent, acting on his own initiative when ho thinks his duty demands it without giving the slightest Intimation to the speculators as to what he intends doing. They aro conse quently afraid of him, for they cannot predict what his next stop will be. His recent order to tho Attorney General to bring the railroad merger suit, was like a cloudburst on tho exchanges. Naturally, now, they have him on trial, us it were, and if, watching him with their eagle eyes, ho fails to measure up to their standard of what a President should be. The noxt Presidential nom ination will bo likely to go to Hanna, Allison or Fairbanks, or some such man that would not keep the monoy sharks on tho uneasy bench. ?** We soo In the pap.ra that Sonator Tillman, during his recent visit to Worcester, Mass , entertained for a naif hour, the well-known pugilist Terry McGovern. They swapped their experiences of tho ring. Mc Govern heartily approved of tho Sen ators fistic methods and gavo him some liniment for his arm which is still sore. Wo suppose the Senator Is getting posted a9 to modern ring tactics, and if McLaurln crosses bis path again, there will be a more scientific exhibi tion of the fistic art. At any rate Son ator Tillman wants tobe well informed on all subjects and most assuredly did not allow this golden opportunity to learn a few tricks of pugilism pass by ungrasped. ? That Treasury surplus will not hero aftor bo such a bugbear to our Re publican friends now that the infamous Subsidy Bill Is in such a fair way to become law. When the transportation companies?New England industries have a "swipe" at it, it will bo so "banged up" and full of holes, that It will strikingly resemble a knooked-out pugilist.. Senators Spooner, Allison and a few other big guns, actually had the nerve to oppose it and vote against it. Even these staunoh Republicans couldn't swallow such a rank dose. Yet our own McLaurln readily digested it? j nilrable dletu. The Hon. W. J. Bryan assumes, prob ably from force of habit, that the next National Democratic Convention will bog him to accept the nomination for President. At any rate, he thinks they will bo obliged to consult bim in the matter. Now, we don't believe tho Democratic party will do either. Mr. Bryan has been tried twice and sig nally failed both times, so why put bim up again? He has practically written the platform twice, and hasn't it boon disapproved ft both elections by the American people? Thero 1? such a thing a9 overdoing a man as woll as anything else- Mr. Bryan is an able man, but wo havo other men that are just as good Democrats as he is, and that aro just as brainy statesmen. The party cannot hopo for victory with Bryan heading the ticket, and if we win we have got to shake ort" Bryauism. ?** Congressman Crumpaoker would havo Congress investigate the suffrage law of the Southern States. Mr. Bry an practically sanctions the passage of this fororunner of a force bill, provided Congress will investigate certain nu merous oconomlc evils existing at tho North. This expression of opinion by Mr. Bryan doesn't savor of true Dem ocracy. South Carolina's representa tives at Washington, as well as every othor Democratic membor of both houses are greatly displeased with this utterance of tho Westener. They are also closely aligned in opposition to tho Crumpackor resolution. Bryan evidently is not familiar with condi tions hero in the South. * * ? Spain presonts a sad and sorry spec tacle in tbo galaxy of nations. Onoo she wa9 a groat and powerful mon archy, mistress of tho world almost, very proud and haughty, but alas! to day her glory has faded, her greatness has been ovorshadowed by the riso'of younger nations, and she is fast has tening into the oblivion consequent upon mental, moral and commercial decadonce. Nothing of her former prestige remains but a shattered, tot tering hulk. And her sad plight is easily imagined when we consider that the bloodthirsty, atrocious and butch ering Oon. Weyler is to assume the Premier's portfolio. Tbo whoel of ef fect has nearly completed its circuit; when It has, Spain will be as surely a relic of tho past as ever was Sparta. * * * We can easily imagine that the Su blime Porte does not relish the coming of Kastor. There is a large harem elo gantly supplied with inmates, each of whom will undoubtedly desire a now spring bonnet. The wants of these Turkish ladies must be supplied or thero will be a surplusage of do mestic infelicity, which In connection with the relentless dunning of l Tide Sam for the $72,500.00 paid the Bri gands for Miss Stone's release, is very apt to make the "sick man of the East" a little sicker. And to use a current slang phrase, he will most likely "cough up". M * # An incident happened in tho English Parliament last week similar to tho famous episode in our Senate, yet in tbo former all horse play was absont. Two worthy M. P's became involved in a hot discussion of tho war in South Africa, and one of tho gentlemen gave the lie well qualified with certain ad jectives of profanity, to the other. Tho Offending member got a sentence of five days, the same length of time that our Senators were under the imperial ban of the Senate. Are our English cousins imitating us? * ? ? It is roported that the Venezuelan Revolutionists aro waking up. This is startling to be suro. It is so soldom (?) that there is ovon a war in South America! Mr. Moody, of the Navy Department, may cheer up for there may bo "something doing" down there that will require the attention of a war ship. *\ It is not at all likely that Bryan's bitter, caustic and vitriolic dis?orta t'ion tho Hon. Grover Cleveland's ? '.tude to the Democratic party will rlously impair the latter's digestion, or destroy his fondness for hunting and fishing. %? A Kansas baby six weeks old has been hoard to say: "Six months of famine." Poor old Kansas, she always has some trouble on hand. Sho pro duces more candidates for the eighth wonderahip of tho world than any other spot on the globo. * ? ? Members of the President's Cabinet are In the same position as the school boy, who, whon ho want's to speak to a classmate has to raise his hand and ask permission. Just so a Secretary has to say: "Mr, President, may I speak." *#* Tho Hon. David Hill has a perfect legal right to his opinion as to what should be the policy of the Democratic party in 1001, the Commoner to the contrary notwithstanding. V There was once a great deal said about a light in the West. Wonder whatha9 become of it? It has evidently metsraorphosed. *#* If Mr. Bryan would come Sjuth and work a two-horso farm a few yoara ho would be more than apt to roviso his views on our suffrage laws. * Tea culture In this State can cer tainly be called an "Infant industry. " Therefore Senator Tillman is right in clamoring for its protection. *% We aro not nearly as sorry for tho Federal Court of Savannah as we aro for Canada, now that Greene and Gay nor are staying in Toronto.
