WHICH 18 THEl J(ETTEIC PAltT7 A t tile age of 75, after mnore thantl tirty year's of conitinutous public life, Senaltor' Hoar1 is disposed to talke a rat,her' gloomy view of the net reosult of his cirorts. Whten ho enterecd Congress hn had a law practice which paid him $20,000O a year', and was gr'owing steadily more S profitabie. it would prlobabiy have recachied $50,000 a year long before now. He had saved $100,000. Hie t,houIght that 110 could re0tan( 111s prlactice and also attenld to 111s duties inl Congress. Liko every oIlher mfanl who 11as mallde that exp)erimfenlt, ho found that it could not, suceceed1. 011e 0or tihe other mulst be neglocted-t,he law practice or' con gr'essionial dulies. Senator Hoar has been absolutely faithful to the latter, and therefore the fornmer has sulTered. In1 hi8.01ld age he tindis himself wit,hout a law practice andI with a meager bank account. The comfortable suml which he had put away before lie gave himself up to pol11 ties has gradually diminished until very little of it is left. 1It, 18 nlatural thlat Senator Hoar should conltemnplate r'egret,fully tihe haniidsome fortune whc ihtnwhv been hishadhoeacowe plitcsand clung to the law. But has hIe not gained as well as lost,? H-as he not won some things which money cannot buy? H-ow cad he value the n ever waver' ing confidence which the people of a great State have reposed in hlim for miore than thirty years andi tihe honors hey have heaped upon him? Is surplus money better than these things? It depends, of course, upon the man, upon the point of view. But to a man of Senator Hoar's tastes and accomplishments we have no doubt that such a career he hlas had is more replete with true saltisfaction and genuI Inc joy than the making of mone. Atlanta Journal. It 18 said of Senator Daniel of E'r giniha, that be is still a poor man though he has been in the fSenato for a great number of years and that this fact alone has more to do with his hold upon the people of Virginia thani any other onc t.h ing. Of course ho is a man of great abilit,y and represents the State In the ,freitt deliberative body in the world wit h redit to himself and ionor. to I const it ilints, but, t.ho fact. t,hat he re m14ains at poor mInal is ai testimonial to I is honesty and integrity of character. Ii our own Statte Senators Itampton and lutler both retired from the Senate 1oor mn111, Ohough they had a service of twelve or sixteen years. It seeis to uS t halt Senator I loar. has pursued th hetter !couse. While in 11his age 110 nvey is considered.the goal to be att tainled and this is peculiarly a colmel' jial age, that, makes it so iiuch the U0Inore to be conimendid that a man should come to the und of such a long serv ico where t hero are so man1my oppor tuniities to sell out(, i poor, 1111111. The supreme court has decided an other branch of the Neal cia;e in which the State wins. This was a civil action hrought by the Carolinat National bank on two notes which had beel accepted by Colonel Neal in paynient for the hire of convicts and afterwards en dorsed by him ais superintendent and discount.ed by lie bank and placed to his credit as such. When the notes became idue t,bey were not paId. The legislituive upon the petition of the bank granted the hank permission to bring a civil action in order to recover the ainount from the State which had beein placed to the credj it of Col. Neal as siperintendent. The suit, was brought, in the circuit court and the State demiirred to the complaint uponl the ground (hat, a State offlcer had no right to bin(1 the State by an endorse ment. The deiirrer was ovorruled and the case taken to the supreme court. The suipreme court has sus tained tho appellalt and sent the case back to the circuit court instructing that -eourt that the demurrer be sus tiained. The opinion Is delivered by J ust,i-e Jones and concludes as follows: "The judglim-nt of the circuit court is I1verse 3 1antid the cas retnronded with instructions to Slstaini the deilurrerl and dismiss the complaint." This will probably end this suit and while it looks hard that the bank should lose yet it seeis to be it propc.' decision. A -State offiver has no right to borrow money or to endorse a paper us such ollicer for the purpose of lmrrowing money unless he is speci lically instruteld to do so by the legiSlatLrlI and when the bank loaned the mIlloney it took the risk of having the note paid by the maker of the note. A t, the satme Limo the bank shiould not lose, but under this decision It will have to get its moncy from Col. Neal or from the original maker of the note. If ir.

INTELLECTUAL BULLY AND A MORAL PIGMY, SENATOR MI'LAUIHIN EXI'1(ESES 1118 VIIWS OF TILLMAN. Won'1, EgAgo in Iontiorsvoy-For Ilenctit o,f Su,tior Henkator't-,9.d4o tasm For Vo,ting--Hm; Declined 11onorto. I News and Courier, A pril 21.] Senator dohn L. McLur'inii, Who camle to Charleston to confer with Ex position directors and others Interested in) the grecat ai1', WLs hardly expecting to receive the volley directed by Sena tor Tillni, which appared in The News and Corier yesterity mornlg. The Senator was not unwilling to "fire back," however, and when approached by ai representative of The News and Conrier he m1ad the following state Imenl t. "I have only this to say in reference to Senator T.Minan's interview. So far as his personal attack on me is con verned, the public prints are not the place to reply. I neither court nor de sire his friendship or goodlopinIon. Nor do I propose for the benefit of some one else, to be (1rawn Intocontroversy with him. I am ready to (10 my own fight ing and want other people to do the Ha1e1. "I did intend to vote with the ma jority of the Democrats against the ra,ilication of the treaty, for reasons puirely of party consideration. I never said anything to Senator Tillman or anyone else to give him the right to truthfully say that I was bitterly opp)osed to its ratification. It is and has been Intensely unpleasant for me to di ITer from so many of my party asso ciates. I had just been through a cam paign fill of bitterness and desired if )ossible to avoid further differetices. The appeal was made to rue to defeat the treaty, and secure the tactical ad vantage of defeating the Administra Lion and forcing them to call an extra session. It is a pretty low plane of ac tion, but for the sake of peace and to avoid just what has occurred since I conhel tded to vote for the rejection o' the treaty. It was with this idea that I went home Naturday night. Sunda 11fternoon, sitting in my dining roo' I heard a newsboy calling extras and sent oit and got one. I saw that the natives had opened fire on our trools and when .1 read the account made up my mind at once that the treaty should be ratified so as to fix the status or the United States in a foreign war already on. It made the people firi rig on our troops rebels, and not as intiuders. The thirty days lacking be fore an extra session could be called might be productive of untold harm. I have never seen the day since when I was not glad that I did have the strength to vote as I thought right. I did so freely and with no promise or pledge from any man. "immiediately it was published to the world that I had been nronised Judge Simonton's place. A more in famously false and cruel slander was never- perpetrated. "Ther'e hasn't, been a tIme in five years when I hiaven's wished that I could decent,ly and honorably get out of public life. When President MicKinley olfered me the place intended for a Democrat on the Ph ilippine commission I dleclined and .told him that I never wanted [anything for myself at his hands; but that if-through me he could help South Carolina I,w~anted'.hlmto do it. Thi is all I ever desire or expect, and if I did not fool that I was helping and could help my State nothing on earth couldkinduce me to subjm't one hour longer to such vituperation and abuse. "'It Is no new role for Senator Till man. Hie began his car-eer by abusing and slandering better men. I have naught but contemplt for and intellec tual bully aiid shameless pretender masquerading as a statesman; a moral pigmy posing as the champion of honesty. "So far as plagiarizing Dr. Van Dyke's sermron is concerned, it was lagohy due to accident. I was much struck with the beauty of thought and diction. I had a borrowed copy and dictated from it three orifourisentences to my stoniographer, and in the original, which any one can see, are the words 'paraihirasing the recent utterances of a distinguished Oivine, etc. These wereo left out in the cop~y. After mak ing tihe speech I went South en tihe next traIn, and niever saw the speech again until It was in print. My secretary did not noetico it anid (had distributed several thousand before my attention was called to it.' I sincerely regret the mortification to the sensitive, deli cato and refined nature of my coi!cague. 11onors are easy, however, for I can as sure him th at I have experienced similar paings at sonmc of t,he 'pitchfork tunes' which he p)lays to the d'sgust of the Senate and the dlelectation of the gal lery loafers."

C., April 19.-South Caro liia's "gold brick'' swindlers seem to have gotten into a good deal of trouble, atid are wanted inl several places in South Carolina, in Iowa and North Carolinla. I romi all appearances there are numbers of these "gold brick" swi.. 'Iers, and they have a way of compromising their troubles and getting away. It may be that they have gotten ulp a job in North Carolina to have themselves urrested and held for a short while and then have the case dropped, atnd though others wanted them, skip and save themselves further trouble. Such things have been known a'id have been done before, and there seems to be car marks of the same tihing just iow with the "gold brick" agents in North Carolina. The chances are that if the three South Carolinians who were fleeced out of nearly fifteen thousand good dol lars for a bronze brick will just keep close after the North Carolina crowd that they can get a compromise out of them. FROM GoV. AvcOC. Governor McSweeney today received the following letter from North Carolina relative to the Wheeler requisition: April 18, 190.-Iilbert It. Aull, Private Secretary, Columbia, S. C.-Dear Sir: His lixcellency, Governor Aycock, has received the requisition for John Lige Thompson and Frank Wells, alias Frank Ilawly, charged with'sobtaining money under false pretenses. The rendition warrant has this (lay been issued for the return of these parties to your State, and the same has been mailed to C. W. lishop, Newberry, S C. The warrant shows that these parties are the gold brick swindlers. A few days ago we had i requisition from the Governor of Iowa ror a gold brick swindler now confined in ail at Greensboro, and we issued the -endition warrant and handed the samne o the agent in person, who came from Iowa here with the papers. Ile went to ,7reeusboro, and the authorities there de :lined to surrender the pariy. I stated to he agent from Iowa that, while we would ionor the requisition, I could not assure iin that the authorities of Greensboro xould surrender the man he: was after. We honor your requisition an;d make the nie statement to you. That is, if the tuthorities there think they have a good :ase and insist upon holding the prisoners, rovided, of course, they are the same mes I refer to, then we cannot insist, hat they be turned over to the authorities 'rom your State. If these parties could )e tried and acquitted, then it is well mough to hive your man on ground to irrest him immediately and take hiium to ,our State. Very truly yours, . . PR1tNSJt,,, Private Secretary. -Special to News and Courier. There is one specimen of humanity ,hat always reminds mi of the mule, 6nd that is the constitutional kicker. l'here are two points of resemnblance nore not,iceable than the other, viz., l'hey will kick the hardest when they ire most needed to do something cleo. [ sometimes think that this is because they are ashamed of themselves. The other point of resemblance is that they are both infringments on na ture. The kicker is a cross between failure and success--they fail to (lie out of the way (who ever saw a dead consti tutional kicker?) but secceed in mahing everybody around thmetm miserable. There is but one thing that can be said in favor of the kicr,and that he is the moral thermometer in the commun nity In which ho lives. When hitched to a load, the kicking mule never kicks till the other~ one tries to start the wagon and then his kicking qualities are most in evlidence. Then he brings out all of his reserved force, and about the only thing that he moves is mud. Just so with the constitutional kicker. I have been in many grave yard s, but to save my lire I can't find where all the hod folks are buried. This leads me to remark, that it la not always a cure for lying; it often breaks out on the tomb stones. You can't always tell what a man is by what he dloes while in the presence of others, but you can tell what ho is by what he does when he thinks nobody is looking at h im. I once met two boys whom I had never seen before, nor since, when the follow ing dialogue occured: "1-llo, bud, said I," "it has been a long time since I saw you." "Yes, sir, said he," "I dent think I ever saw you before," "Does your father and mother quar rel and fight as bad as they used to?" I asked. "No sir, they arc not as bad as they used to be, but they raise h--I yet some timfles." This leads me to remark that child ren are like the providential gun they are sure to go off when we didn't know they were loaded, and If you don't want them to shoot, don't fur'nish them the ammunition. The greatest d ifferenca between the dude and the "yaller" dog, is that the dude smokes cigarottes, and the "yal ler" dog don't. And the dude does some other things that the "yaller" (log won't do. I heard a man say the other day that the supreme need of thIs country is a first-class fool-killer. WVhat is the mat ter with the cIgarette? Aint it doing all that can )ho asked? The man who sits around stores, chews cheap plug, talks pomtics and knows more. about how to solve the money question than the president and his cabinet, If you will folotha fol low hmi you will find hii wife taking in washing and his daughtors working in a cotton mill. Some men spinit t a mighty heap of yarn on the street coRners and the public sq mare, but they are mighty shy of spin. nin- it where it pays. The man who sits in the amen corner of the church and hollers "Amen" so lould that, he fails to see the collection basket when it is passed, Is so stiigy that he would cook with the 6moke that comes from his neighbor's chimncy if it were practicable. Such men are like fattening hogs, they never give out any grease till they are dead, and somnetims it is not enough to speak of then. A man who gets on every revival train that comes along and gets off at every flag station to take a drink, or go into a circus, or abuse his wife and children is trying to cheat the devil out of the thickest kind of a hypocrit's hide.'But somo day the train will leave all such, and then Tho man who spends ten dollars for whiskey and five dollars every time he spends five cents on his religion is try ing to get to heaven on excursicu rates an(d don't want to pay for his ticket till ho gets to the other end of the line.
