In which he spoke truly.
A spacious, white and deserted stair
case led me to a room above. It looked
|ik ons immense school room, ami the
walls were covered with such a bewilder
ing array of charts, graphics and dia
grams that my head ached at the
thoughts of the study Involved In under
standing them.
Truly, as t'arlyls said, political econo

The Mienoanls In this spacious gallery
were even mote Ignorant and less polite
then those below. They seemed to be
especially chary of giving Information.
While looking round the place I observed

By dint of diligent Inquiry 1 discovered,
too, that thia upper part of the buttling
was devoted to the sennee# of congreasee,
and that from theee congreases the otMsi.ie

counted for the guarded reticence of the

My Japanese friend. after assuring me
that "Progress and Poverty" would eoon

Certainly, as to education, there was no

But there was work to he done. Nearby
!• the American room—a little chamber,
"more neat than solemn." as Byron aaye
of Dante's tomb. I was surprised to see
all America, even all social and economic
America In so small a space. After what
I had observed In the French section 1
could not believe that the industrial aide
of America could be exhibited In such a
scanty compartment. Asa matter of
fact the exhibits are absolutely Inade
quate, though perhaps tho exiguity of tha
•pace afforded by the French authorities
may stand as a partial excuse.
America, however, was admirably repre
sented by an Intelligent young lady. Mias
Moget. who not only made obscure mat
ters clear and who expounded eloquently
all that was tn show, hut who revealed
how the limits of space could tie expanded
by the deft arrangements of huge photo
graphic volumes, which occupied only a
limited superficial nrea, but which opened
into long rlslss of Infoi motion and delight
The great note of America was the grand
scale of Industrial developments of wheat
growing, ot cotton growing, of ratlwaya,
of lumber, of everything.
In the same room Is a very fine and In
teresting cthlbit, that Illustrating the
progress of the negro race. At firs! there
was aptKvrently not much to see, but here
also 1 had the good fortune to find an
excellent guide. Mr. Calloway, a colored
gentleman, and one of the most Intelli
gent representative* I have met. He
showed me that the standard of educa
tion among the negroes was higher than
that of Roumanla or of Bervla, about on
a par with that of Hungary, and hardly
Inferior to that of liaiy. Tha statistics
and the graphics Illustrating the home
life of the negro compared well with those
of so great a country us Germany. The
work of Booker Washington waa fully
expounded and the products of the negro
schools of Tuskegce so well displayed that
one could not doubt of the high efficiency
attainable by negroes Mr. Calloway
claimed for the race all those ,w (jo had

waxed ao eldhuent that I left with tha
vague Idea that the negTO was the com

graphics Mr. Calloway had shown me
which proved that the mingling of tha
races had greatly increased upon the de

fore the war.

How *hc Rend* the liner That Thrift
May Follow Fanning.
From the Columbia (B, C.) Stale.
Editor Wallace of the Greenville New#
has a very correct notion of the situa
tion. In the New* of yesterday he aaya:
"I’olltlc* make* strange bedfellow*, In
deed. Who would have thought a few
short year* ago, when Gov. Tillman was
"raising bell on Chtcco'a street" In hi*
determination to enforce prohibition upon
Charleston, and when a year or two later
Gov. Evans, at Tillman s evident dicta
tion, forci and the tyrannical metropolitan
police law upon the city. that
Charleston would ever go fur Tillman, or
for anything that Tillman wanted?
"Tfilmari got Into power largely by
abushig Charleston and Its "dusle fac
tory” and other ehlngs dear to the mind
of the dweller# by the sea. How he waa
hated In that city I* a mutter of so re
cent date a* needs nos tie further reca
pitulated here.
"But now Charleston mid Ttllm.m are
check by Jowl. The Senator Is legging
(or the naval station for the city, and
the city Is subservient to tho Senator's
wlshea. and vote* for the Senator'# dlx
jx-nsary and- the Senator's candidate by
the overwhelming vote of live to one.
"What a transformation. And why? A
part of the reason has already been hint
'd at In the effort to get the naval station
from th* little lown of Port Itoyal. with
the best harbor on th* Ailunttc coast, and
transfer it to Charleston, where the me
lodious notes of the string band float* up
on the night air and the swallow-tail and
the de ollete dress meet In the btllllant
halls of Terpsichore.
"But there are other reasons not hard
to find. Charleston haa ac-epted the dis
pensary In a spirit of perfect resignation
—because the dispensary doe* not Inter
fere with Charleston's ibvc of the need
ful. So that everything Is lovely down
on Chtcco’s street. The blind llger—no,
not the blind tiger, but tit* tiger with his
eyes open—flourishes. He get# hi* sup-
Idlee. not from the railroads and the
hunts, where a 100 watchful constabu
lary might possibly, though not probably,
pounce down upon the stuff, but he get*
it from headquarters—the Charleston dis
pensary-buys li by the quantity and sells
It by the drink.
"Thus It goes. The tiger pile* his trade
undisturbed; the dispensary reports big
sale*, which go to sw'cll the city's cotters;
everybody gets hi* tod In his own pre
ferred way—and Charleston and the btg
gin mill at Columbia are working hand
and glove—the friends of one being the
friends of tl.e other.
"And the Charleston vole go## to Mc-
Sweeney over 2.UOn strong. It Is a case of
" Tlckl" m*. Johnny, tickle me. do:
You llckle me, and I’ll llckla you.’ "
We have tried hard to have patience
with Charleston and to believe that It
would pull Itself out nf Ita slough, com
mercial and political, but we must con
fess to a great disgust at the selfishness,
the shortsightedness and the Ineptitude of
the men who control Ita politics. If they
had set themselves deliberately to forfeit
the rc#t*ri and ronfldence of the rent of
the state It Is hard to see how they rould
have succeeded better than they
have done. It la Impossible to account
for their pal tele* except on the theory that
they cannot see an Inch before their noses
and neither know nor care for public opin
ion In other parts of South Carolina.
A* a tula Charleston. If It iloea the
right thing, doe# It at the wrong time,
and If It flora the wrong thing—which fre
quently barge ns-It does It so flagrantly
that Us olfenslveiseas Is doubl'd. John
Clary Evan* was Oral bluarly aitacked in
Charleston, but when he became Gover
nor he was dined and wined there tn the
hope of gctilng b into:hln out of him
When this hope tailed he was again as
sailed, and the false allegation that one
cf .the beat men In the city, William K
Huger, was favorable to him wa* suf
ficient to oausc his defea: for the office
of Mayor. Then the Charleston politicians
iook up Ellerhe and paired liuttar over
him. 11a did not remove the metrotwlltan

turned on him rancor >usly. although a

courted, with better success than the
others. Charleston got Immunity for Its
Illicit liquor (balers an I has poll Me-
Sweeney handsomely In voice for a fla
grant mertiloe of public duly to personal
ends.
Tho dispensary system has nowhere
been more hated than In Charleston, yot
Charleston now accepts Ih* dispensary
without a murmur and votes ehe fllspen
sary ticket by big majorities, with the
understanding that It Is to bo privileged
to violate ehe law at will. Charleston *
ft lend* In other parts of the stale were
trying to rid South Carolina of the abom
ination—but what wa* that to Charles
ton? Selfish and self-absorbed. It ha* oe-
Mrted Its natural allies for o shameful
composition with a system It knows to
be evil and heartily detesi*.
And Tillman—the story of Chnrleeion's
relations with Tillman is written tn the
same characters. Does Charleston love
or admire or approve Tillman? No on*
will pretend to say so. But for all Ihit
he la fawned on there and given a "com
plimentary vole.” and not a protest i
made against his hoeslsm. his Insults, hts
false accusations, even against the editor
of the chief Charleston newspaper, be
cause Charleston wants Tillman's aid in
wrestling the naval station from poor lit
tle Fort Royal.
Who can respect the spirit shown In
these performances! That we cannot do
II we freely confess, and there are, we
doubt not. many thousands In Mouth Car
olina who fee) a groat repugnance for It.
Somehow, the dominant politicians In
Charleston seem Incapable of a far-slght
cdlv policy. They work for Immediate
selfish results and so greedily amt pat
ently that no disguise can be pot upon
their motive*. From'one extreme'to an
other. they execute a series of flops which
would be ludicrous If they were not hu
