Tiie recent Canadian census indicates
a decrease of 800,000 in Canada in the
last ten years. At that rate tbe araaxa
tion probliem will soon be solved.
Whatever good the Republican party
may have done, posterity will never for
get the wicked high tariff it fastened
upon the country, shackling our com
merce and robbing poor men.
The New York Sun nominates Editor
Elliot F. Sheppard for secretary of war,
vice Proctor, llis peculiar fitness for
the position lies in the fact that lie has
npver yet been found fit for anything
else.

body is expected to come out, whether
their uames are on tbe list circulated for
signatures or not.
It must not be supposed that only
those who have so far signed the list are
to participate. It has been Impossible

fold are open to all, and all are expected
to be present, and not only join tbe pro

NICKNAMES OF THE NEW STATES.
Only four of the six states created
within the past two years have nick-;
names, so far as we have heard. These !
are the Dakotas, Montana and Washing-j for other pur
ton. North Dakota has been dubbed Hn ,i city
the Flicker-tail State, South Dakota the
Swinge-cat State, Montana the Stubbed- 1
toe State, and Washington the Chinook I Siajni
State.—St. Louis Globe-Demo
word for pulque is pronounced much
like octail, and Gen. Scott'* troops
called tbe liquor cocktail, and carried
the word back to tbe United States. It
is said that the liquor was discovered by
a Toltec noble, and that he sent it to the
king by tbe band of his daughter, Miss
Cocktail (Xockltl). Tbe king drank the
liquor aud then looked at the maiden.
The first tickled his palate, the second
enamored his heart. It was a case of
love at first sight in both instances, and
he married tbe girl and started a pulque
plantation. From that day to this the
Mexicans have kept themselves saturated
with pulque, and Miss Cocktail is one of
the Venuses of Mexican tradition.

Allen W. Thurman thinks the Third

believes that tbe leaders themselves now
fully appreciate the fact that tbe only
way to obtain any of tbe reforms de
manded by their platform will be to
combine with tbe Demoorats and first
defeat McKinley.
No man who wishes to preserve his
reputation as a Democrat can afford to
sulk in his tent to-night, when bis pres
ence at tbe opera bouse will be construed
as evldenco of orthodoxy. Whoever
stays at home tonight without good
cause will subject themselves to the bus
picion of lukewarmness or a hankering

Sumter county can afford to go on record
as either lukewarm or disaffected.

The organization of the American

Wiikhkvki: protection is, there cor
ruption also may he found. It is so
hero, and It is so across our northern
border. In the last Canadian election
the spoliation system was an issue, and
it was settled as we have seen it sottled
at homo. Tho Iioland paper mills
offered paper to tho Government at 7J
cents, but an Investigation shows that it
received 71 cents for tho quantity sup
plied. Mr. Chaplean, secretary of state,
admits that he asaeil the manufacturer
"as ft rich man to contribute to tbe elec
tion fund," ami the manufacturer ad
mits that be did contribute to the Con
servative Association. Tills reads like
an account of tho Wanatnakor $400,000
transaction, save that we returned tbe
fat in increased taxation instead of
through fraudulent contracts; though
our postofllce department did make a
contract with a spoliationist for postal
cards, which card, jvero fit only for
blotting paper. It is all of a kind, and
tbe spoliation tariff is the cause of it.
Hukad lias risen both in England and
Germany. Stnrra ion is threatening
large numbers of people in Russia. The
government of these countries will have
to provide some methods by which tho
people can have enough to eat, or there
will be grave troubles this fall In Europe.
Staivingmeu never reason and never
listen to reason. They must have and
will have, for the rule has come down
for ages, either bread or blood. There
is plenty of breadstuff in America, and
ft is very likely that Uncle Jerry Rusk’s
effort to introduce corn-bread into Ger
many and Russia instead of rye bread
will prove successful to a greater degree
than anticipated.
The Sea Island Cotton report of Hen
ry W. Frost A Co., of Charleston, and
Savannah, issued Sept. 5, contains some
interesting information upon the Sea
Island crop. Tbe report states that the
crop for the year 18001)1 is the largest
ever marketed, amounting to 08,120
bags. It was exported as follows:
Liverpool, 34,207 bags; Havre and tbe
continent, 4,823; northern mills, 20,002,
leaving in stock at tho southern ports,
2,404 bags.—Savannah News.
