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withdrawn as a candidate and in the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.?

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.

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

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

and cross the Atlantic in five days.
