ras HOUGH ON MB. MM. Catsstic Criticism of His Career in the Field of Politics. He is Charged With Being More Ambi tious, Selfish and Faithless Than Either Hill or Cleveland. . - In the Onlooker, a new and very breezy magazine, published in New York, appears in a discussion of poli tical affairs the following sharp criti cism of the political career of William Jennings Bryan from his old friend, Alfred Henry Lewis, the biographer ofJRichard Croker : For myself, so much do I limp in in terest, I would turn neither hand nor head to promote or to undo the fortune of either Mr. Cleveland or Mr. Bryan or Mr. HilL And while of Mr. Cleve land I deem little and of Mr. Hill still less, and hold them botn, perhaps, much lower than does Mr. Bryan ; and though I may subscribe to much if not all he intimates of the ungrace and party ignobility of those gentlemen; yet when he presents himself as their superior in those traits of faithfulness, and lack of personal ambition and want of selfish regard, Mr. Bryan mast pardon- me should .honest amaze-. ment find expression * on my brow. Selfish, trustless, ambition-bitten, csreless'of party good as may be both Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Hill, the his tory of Mr. Bryan discloses him. as more ambitious, more selfish and more faithless. He will mount- any horse from either side which will carry him to his own advantage. Mr. Bryan came to Washington in 1891, and as a Democrat entered the House caucus to help select a candi date for Speaker. There were five in that speakership conflict ? Messrs. Crisp, Mills, Hatch, Springer and McMiliin. The battle lay between Mr. Crisp, who was Mr. Gorman's candi date, and Mr. Mill, who was put forward in the fortunes of Mr. Cleve T?and. A presidency and tariff policy ; as well as a speakership were at bay in that figjit. When balloting began Mr. Bryan his vote for Mr.. Springer. The war staggered forward for hours, and from first to last Mr. Bryan*s vote went ev%r Springerward. Mr. Hatch withdrew and cast his vote for Mr. Crisp. Mr. Springer withdrew and cast his vote for Mr. Crisp. The struggle became a duel between the Texan and the Georgian, and in the end Mr. Crisp beat Mr. Mills hj ' the starved majority of two. From beginning to end, on the last as on every ballov Mr. Bryan cast his vote for Mr. Springer. While Mr. Springer, through-a score of ballots which proceeded the end was himself withdrawn as a candidate and in the caucus voting for Mr. Crisp, Mr. Bry an sat wasting his suffrage?firing his lonely, selfish arrow in the air ??on Mr. Springer. Later I myself asked him to gi ve me his reasobs for so strange a course. Mr. Brayn was younger and not so skilled of craft as now. With an air ineffably cunning he reminded me that those four gentlemen, other than] Mr. Sprinegr, namely, Messrs Mills, Crisp, Hatch and McMiliin, were all of them ex-Confederate soldiers ; and he closed with the unetaous assurance that he was of no mind to go back to his district, where abode many ex-sol diers of the Union, with the record of having voted for a one-time rebel. Every other Northern Democrat was taking that chance?rif chance it was? that day. But Mr. Bryan, too selfish, too crafty, too much the lover of himself iahd too "little the lover of his country, to face this invented risk of supporting a Confederacy a third of a century after its death, for his own ornean safety thr^w away his vote and his voice in a game where?fairly?a throne was the stakes and an empire besag fought- for. Mr. Bryan went on the Ways and Means Committee of that Congress. He sxrpporetd a sugar tariff behind locked aoors, and in conferences of the committee. He was bnt lukewarm for an income tax, fearing it might operate?because of the revenue its would provide for?as an argument against the trust schedule for sugar, when the House in open session free listed sugar Mr. Bryan, eaten of dis appointment, went across to the Sen ate and lobbied with red-faced might and main for strenuous weeks to re trieve the Oxnard fortunes?the Ox irards were then of the Sugar Trust? with Mr. Allen, of his State, and put the trust schedule again in the bill.: 1 And why did Mir. Bryan so toil in the sugar vineyard? . Because he was at that time ambi tions to come to the Senate; and he lo?Ts?<r forward to . a be?fcsngar. boost up Senate stairs. In February and March, 1895, Mr. Bryan was foremost with Mr. Pence, of the Populists, and Mr. DuBois, of the Republicans, in constructing a silver propaganda which would do its work without reference to party. Such as Mr. Bland declined the move ment, but Messrs. Bryan, Dubois, Pence, Stewart, Sibley, Jones, Carter and others of loose morals of politics | were prompt and earnest in their membership. Mr. Brayn at their meeting one evening rose and in an impassioned ; speech proposed that they of the prop- j agenda name a silver Presidential j candidate for the fight of 1896; the Republican or Democratic party ? might thereby be driven to take such gentlemen up. The.club agreed; Mr. Setwart (Senator) unexpectedly offer ed Mr. Sibley, of Pennsylvania ; Mr. S. was chosen. Mr. Bryan, with a face like chalk, was sorely commoved of disappointment; he had believed the meeting would name him. Was such harlotry unselfish or a faithful, true adherence to the Democratic party? * In the same month Mr. Bryan ar ranged with the Populists of Virginia to stump the Old Dominion against Mr. O^Ferrall, who was to be, and later became, the nominee for Govern or of that State's Democracy. Mr. Bryan grew alarmed and afterward defaulted in his pact with these Vir ginia Populists ; being, however, first severely spoken with for entering into it by Mr. O'Ferrall himself. Mr. Bryan, when Mr. Dubois and! others planned and executed the silver ! bolt of 1896 from the Republican con- j vention, was himself carefully present in St Louis. The talk of Mr. Du bois and the bolters was "Mr. Teller for President." Mr. Bryan asked them to yoke his name with that of Mr. Teller to make on this outlaw ticket the Vice Presidential run. Mr. Teller, however, forbade the use of his name then, and the programme which otherwise would have resulted in "Teller and Bryan" fell gasping by. the wayside. One month later when the Demo crats gathered themselves together in Chicago Mr. Bryan appeared with con testing delegation ; he was himself per sonally pledged again and again for the support of Mr. Bland. He broke his word: he deserted his pledge: he accepted the fluke-proffered nomination of that Democracy he had three times sought to betray and made the race for the White House with his honor? because of his treason to Mr. Bland and.,his-xthrice-attempted treasons to Democracy?with his honor, I say, in the dirt beneajfch his feet. Such is the story of Mr. Bryan, and Messrs. Vest, Cockrell, "Gorman, O'Ferrali, " Dubois, Sibley, Pence, Jones, Stewart, .Tarsney, Teller, Cock ran, Catchings, Watson and Simpson and scores besides "will commend it for plain accnracy. - Such being Mr. Bry an's story, one has a right to assume that it comes from him with but black pot black-kettl? grace to point at Mr. Hill and Mr. Cleveland as self-seeking egotists, traitors of * Democracy, and mere cheap party-slippers for their own jpoor ends : and whether or no I turned [deaf to Mr. Cleveland or callous to < ward the blandishments of Mr. Hill, ' V? of a verity lend scant credit to Mr. Bryan and never follow his leadership a foot. ';.?; Death of Robert S. Pringle. Mr. R. S. Pringle, who on the'even ing of the 11th fell into a man hole ex cavation for the new sewerage system in Columbia, died at his home Friday morning. At the time of his injury it was fear ed thrat he had injured himself inter nally by the fall of about twenty feet to the bottom of ? the opening, but it was hoped .that he would be able to pull through. This morning he died, it is supposed, as a result of the inju ries received at the time of the falL Mr. Pringle was attending a meeting of the Mutual Aid Society, of the cot ton mills, of which he was manager, and it was while on his way home that he fell into the opening and received the fatal injuries. Mr. Pringle?is of an old and distinguished family. He was the son of the late Hon. W. A. Pringle, who was for many years the Recorder for the City of Charleston. Mr. Pringle was born in Charleston and was about 50 years of age. He at tended school in Columbia and was a schoolmate of Clerk of the Court J. Frost Walker and Mr. T. H. Gibbes. . Mr. Pringle has been connected with the Whaiey Mills here for five or six years, and at the time of his death was the superintendent of the build ! ings connecte*^ with the Olympia j Mills, and was well liked by every one ! and was regarded as a most. indus I trions and competent worker. He leaves a widow and one son, Robert S. Prin gle, Jr.,' Mr. W. Alston Pringle, of Charleston, is his brother, and-he has a sister in Alabama. VERDICT OF THE CORONER'S . JURY. The jury of inquest into the cause of the death of Mr. R. S. Pringle ren dered a verdict that the deceased came to his death by falling into a hole left open by the Sewage Company, at the corner of Lincoln and Indigo streets.? CoL Cor. News and Courier 15th. Heat Prostrations. Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 15.?The highest temperatures of the season were record throughout Arkansas to day. Near Vanburen five laborers on the lion Mountain Railroad were over come-by heat and three are dead. At Alma there was one death from the heat But one. prostration is reported here, that of a policeman. The maxi mum temperature for the day was 94 degrees. Snowing in Germany. .. Berlin, Ang. 15.?The weather con tinues cold and rainy. The tempera - ! tore'yesterday in sonthern Saxony stood at 33 degrees fahrenheit, and snow fell in the mountains in Alsaace. The North sea summer resorts are practically deserted. Army officers are wearing their overcoats. Watched by Detectives. Quebec, Aug. 14.?There are no de velopments in the Gaynor-Greene case although the general impression in this city is that the United States gov ernment will soon take some other pro ceedings in the matter. In the mean time both Messrs. Greene and Gaynor are enjoying.their liberty by walking and driving around the city where they wilhprobably remain for some time to come, as they have no intention of re moving from here. While on their daily walks or drives they are closely followed by a Quebec detective who always keeps them in view so that an other attempt at kidnapping would probably fail. On the coast of Brazil is a large de posit of monazite sand, resembling sea sand, bat oomewbat more yellowish and brownish, which contains several per cent of the oxides of thorium and cerium, says the Gas World. This sand is shipped principally to England and Germany, where these elements are extracted and sold as nitrates which are soluble in water, and with them mantle manufacturers make solu tions into which the knitted cotton fabric is dipped, subsequently dried and the cotton burned, leaving a net work of oxides of thorium and cerium in the proportion of 99 parts of the former to one of the latter. To protect this deli acte fabric from breakage it is dipped into collodon, which, upon evaporation, stiffens the mantle and is readily burned off after the mantle ie put in place upon the burner. Lafayette, Ind., Aug. 13.?Exami nation papers of eighty-two applicants for rural route carriers were forwarded to Washington today by Edward F, Hutches, a special agent, and H. C. Coles and George E. Fox, Board of Examiners. Thirty-three new rural routes were established and will be started as soon as the appointments are made. This gives Tippecanoe oounty.thirty-nine routes. Every resi dent of the county is being served. INDEBTEDNESS OF THE EXPOSITION, Claims on File Amount to Nearly $270,000. Special to The State. Charleston, Aug. 15.?The time for , filing claims against the exposition company expired today. The claims.} to date aggregate 6269,126.44.. Accordai ing to the order of the court, a claims which have not yet been fife will be debarred payment. The books of the compnay will be put on exhibition tomorrow and they will be closely scanned by many inter ested parties. This was the last day of th? occupation of the offices at the administration building. The offices were fially closed by Clerk Aubrey, who has just ; completed his employ ment of many months in the Charleston exposition. He was first connected with the bureau of publicity, then he was the chief clerk and later he has been the clerk of the receivers. THE WEEPING HABIT. According to Col. James Ti liman he saw tears conrse down his Un?le Ben's cheeks when he read slanders about himself. Once upon a time a man went about- this state saying harsh things about such men as Col. Wil liam Monroe, Col. A P. Butler, Gen eral Johnson Hagood, Senator J. H. Earle, General John Bra tton and Gov ernor J. P. Richardson, who are dead, and General M. C. Butler and Major Tom Woodward, who are aiive. Nobody ever saw them shed tears. Which proves only that some men are weepers and some are not.? Laurens Advertiser. Iowa occupies today a very import ant position from a political ]X)int of view. Two places in the Cabinet are held by its sons. Of these posts one Of of the very first rank, the Secre taryship of the Treasury. Another Iowan is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and still another, Jaf ter a long career of prominent service, is chairman of the Committeee on Ap propritaions in the Senate. The deliv erances of the convention of the ad ministration party in that state upon public questions are therefore of signi ficance. -The platform adopted at Des Moines on Wednesday, wiiile declaring that the Republican, paroy stands by the policy of protection, yet asserts that it favors "such changes in the tariff from time to time as may be come advisable through the progress of our industries and their changing relation to the commerce of the world." Further, the platform in dorse reciprocity as ?be national complement of protection and declares in favor of "any modification of the tariff schedules that may be required to prevent their affording shelter to monopoly." These declarations are naturally interpreted as leaning very decidedly towards a more liberal fiscal policy. American horses are in demand in France. The French army purchases annually a large number of these ani mals, and on the farms they are grad ually displacing cattle for draft pur poses. For many years the soil has been cultivated almost entirely with the aid of cows and oxen, but for this work the superiority of the horse is fully ^ acknowledged. The introduc tion into France or American agricul tural machinery, such as mowers, reapers, drills, rakes, etc., has also led to the use of horses in greater number than ever before. The exodus of laborers from the farms to the ci ties is still another explanation of the in creased demand for draft animals. This exodus is also responsible for the increasing use of farm machinery. The scythe is givino place to the mower, the old-fashigned method of sowing to the modern drill, and these machines are worked best by horses. A leading agriculturist stated recently that "the demand for agriclutural ma chinery to replace hand labor on the French farms will be greater this year than ever before." The Bell Telephone company is put ting its wires under ground in Charles ton. An ordinance passed in that city five years ago required that wires should be placed underground in ten years. This gives the Beil people Jfive years yet, but owing to improvements contemplated in the central office in that city, the company will do the wwork at once. The condition of the Philippine problem appears to press rather more hardly on the boys in the ranks than on the authorities in '% Washington and Manila. "Twenty more insane sol diers from the islands," it is report ed', " recently passed through Chicago on their way to the Government Hospital for the Insane at Washing ton. They were bound securely in chains." Farmers' wives and daughters in this State who would like to make money for themselves might get a hint from the example of Mrs. A. P. Croper, of Jay County, Ind. "She has been in the business several years, has two hundred swarms of bees this year and has marketed "nearly 2,500 pounds of honey." ? The address issued by the negro congress at Atlanta which has just adjourned is one of the most encourag ing papers which has proceeded from representatives of that race. Its mod eration of statement, its modesty in claiming negro progress and its ration al and temperate tone toward the white people of the south are worthy of high praise. It does seem that the more advanced negroes are beginning at last to grasp the situation and realize in what direction the race must strive to develop its possibilities. Taken in connection with frequent editorials in the negro journals now becoming nu merous in the south this declaration shows that substantial progress is be ing made in the broadening and bet tering of the mental attitude of the race. When the impulse given from the top shall spread to what we may term the middle class of negroes con ditions in the south will be greatly improved. There is hope for the negro, great hope, when the leaven of common sense is thus planted in his brain?too long the home of harmful vagaries and morbid aspirations.?The State. Louisville, ., Aug. 15.??The price of anthracite coal has advanced to S8.25 a ton. The prevailing price for anthracite in Loiusville at this season is aboat $7.50. Palm Oil Butter. Washington, Aug. IL?Mr. Yerkes, the commissioner of internal revenne, has made a decision on the question whether palm oil in very small quan tities may be used in the manufacture of oleomargerine. The commissioner holds negatives. Iiis decision says : "This office rules that in which so minute and infinitesimal a quantity of a vegetable oil is used in the manufac ture of oleomargerine is proposed to rpB used of palm oil, and through its ?nse the finished product looks like butter of any shade of yellow it cannot be considered that the oil is used with the purpose or intention of being a bona fide constituent, part or element being solely of producing or impart ing a yellow color to the oleomargerine and that therefore that the oleomarge rine so colored is not free from artifi cial coloration and becomes subject to the tax of the ten cents per pound." Exports from Norfolk, Va., continue to decrease, because of th? system of barging freight from there to Newport News. July, 1898, the exports from there exceeded $822,000. The amount has decreased steadily, till last month the exports were only $243, - 00<). Merchants and business men are considering plans to retain the traffic. The Republican State Executive Committee of Alabama, which met in Birmingham a few days ago, adopted a rule which practically excludes ne groes from participating in the conven tion, and the colored contingent is kicking. They are making desperate efforts to take the kink and the color out of the Republican party in that State. But without these how could it be identified? ' The record to date shows that five regiments of regulars who saw actual service in the Spaiash- American War, and who lost in killed, wounded and missing 604 men, have filed 764 pen sion claims, while five regiments of volunteers, with no losses at all in battle, have filed 2,997 claims. Such figures as these carry their own com ment. The Kaiser Wilhelm Derzeite, which was launched at Stetting, Germany, a few days ago is said to be the biggest ship in the world. She is 700 feet; long, has engines with 38,000 horse power, can clip off 25 knots an hour and cross the Atlantic in five days. THE MOUNTAIN EXCURSION.
