Some promineu. Democrats and nearly all of the prominent Republicans have been seized with the prevailing "territorial greed," and mo3t of the Democrats and a! I great many Republicans are opposed to the new departure in our policy. Already the difference in opinion has been manifested in the declarations of poetical conventions. Some State Democratic conventions have declared for "the imperial policy" and some against it; some Republican State conventions are for it, and some against It. So that it is very evident tb&t the war with Spain has brought about new political alignments. Of coarse it is all speculation to attempt to discnss ths outcome of the war. The newspaper correspondents manage, bowever, in some way to keep in close touch with tbe authorities at Washington, and time and again they have accurately forecasted the policy of the - - it-- X administration, even 10 tue esieui ui naming tbe agents of the Government to execute the policy of those in anthoritv. The protocol settles that XT Spain must surrender her sovereignty in Cuoa and Porro Rico. Porto Rico will become tbe property of the Uni+-<3 Q?of^c Thar ia Rftf.t.lp.d. and it is admitted on ail sides. Now tbat we have got Porto Rico, there is much speculation as to what we shall do with it, with its 1,000,000 inhabitants, negroes, Spaniards, mixed breeds and all the hetrogenous elements that go to make up the population of the island. The most common answer to the question, what shall be done with Porto E;go, is that we must "Americanize" it, whatever that may mean. In the case of tie Indian, it meant that they must be driven oct of the country. In the case of the Southern slaves, it meant that tnev must be granted suf frage and that a reign of corruption must follow. The element of our statesmen who were most instrumental in adopting this policy in the South now frankly confess that it was a very grave mistake to enfranchise the negro, and they say that it will never do to repeat the blander. For the present Porto Rico will lemain under a mi!i? taiv government, ana "it win db treated," as the newspaper correspondents at Washington report, as an "American possession." Postofflces, v mail-routes, &c., will at once be estab\ iished, and we presume this is one of the fir-t steps towards Americanizing the isiand. Abont 1900 when the Presidential election is well under w&y, and political excitement is running high, it will be a scramble between the political parties to be the first to admit Porto Rico into the Union ?c a -fnll.-florfcrprf St&tfi. v*~ " e> ^-The disposition of Cuba is much more difficult than that of Porto Rico. ' "Order the resoiation of Congress, we are pledged to grant independence to Cuba, but for some time we have suspec:edtbata scheme is on foot to annex Cuba also. Already it is said that Jhu Cubans are utterly incapable of sell-government, s Why we are so late in making iius uxsuwexy xo uvi explained, although Cuba has for so many years been at our very doors, and we ought to have known more about ner people. It is significantly said from Washington that "it is probable that American reforms in the matter of government will be such that the people of tJas island win see me advantage of annexation to the United States." We must prepare the way to avoid that independence feature of the resolution of Congress that the inhabitants of Cuba "are of right and ought to be free and independent," &c., and hence "the advantage of annexation" is now looming up.^ The next step will be towards Statehood. The cfrpnath of ft "Retrablic is snooosed to depend upon the homogeneity of its citizens, and it will, therefore, be interesting as well as anomoloasto await the outcome of the annexation of a people so different from us, who speak ati entirely different language. The Senators and Representatives in Congress from Cuba and Port? Rico will have ;?" to employ interpreters when they desire to address that body, unless '.he carpet-baggers take control of the new States, which is more than likely. - ? *? .t J t _ T"*t- n* Wiiat to ao wna iae ruuippiues is the hardest of all to determine.

We take it for granted that Fairfield County will give Mr. McMahan her vote for Superintendent of Education, because he is a native of this county acc! because he is eminently qualified to JU the place. To those of our citi; zeu vho do not know him, we can vouch lor his high character, his superior intellect and his literary attainments, and we believe he possesses those qualifications which are necessary in a candidate for the office of Superintendent ot Education.

Time and again this State has requested the modification of rnles and regulations relating to the recruiting of volnnters, and every time it has been granted by the war depart ment. Before the first regiment left the State, th? reqnest was made that * -*? j 1 the regiment oe piacea uauur vxeuejai Lee, and that has been done. The troth is the war department has shown every disposition to favor the State. Col. Jones, Maj. Thompson and Senator McLaurin have just obtained another concession. It was feared that the regiment wonld be mustered out of service before it was completed, as it had been reported from Washir.gon that something like 100,000 of the volunteers would be mustered out. If - * - - -1- - tlllS Was QODCj llit'Ii lilt! Oiaic wuuiu be reported as having failed to famish its fall quota of troops. Instead of requiring 106 men to a company, the authorities will allow the companies mastered into service ou a basis of 80 men to the company. This is certainly all that we ought to ask, and there will bow be absolutely no excuse for a failure to complete the regiment in the uext few days. Already the regiment is practically completed. CITE HIM THE HIGHER PLACE. The New York World thinks that the people of the United State* will not be satisfied "nntil some unusual honor, some extraordinary mark of their appreciation, admiration and affection, is bestowed upon Rear-Admiral Dewey," and that the hero of Manila should be made a fall admiral. It says: ? A riminot K tllO Xlit? HiUhk. VI iKai-iiuuinui w i.uv . highest existing rank in ouv navy. Bat tbere have been two higher ranks. On December 21, 1864, the rank of Vice-Admiral was created and bestowed upon Farragul. When on July 25, 1866, the ranK of Admiral was created for Farragut, David D. Porter succeeded him as Vice-Admiial. When Farragut died, in 1870, Porter became Admiral and Stephen C. Rowan Vice-Admiral. With -be deaths of those two great sea commanders (lis two exalted ranks of oar navv lapsed. We have a great navy. We shall soon have a greater navy?a navy of the finest quality, of the highest degree of efficiency, of any navy in the world. This navy muse nave an huujiui and a Vice-Admiral. And the war has developed genius of the high order of that possessed by Farragut, Porter and Rowan. Properly to reward our great sea commanders, properly to officer our great sea power, the two highest ranks should be revived. And for the highest rank, for successor to Farrsgut and Porter, what name springs instantly to *.iii uos ox every American ? The people certainly will agree that if any officer in onr navy deserve3 thi3 high rank, it i? Rear-Admiral De-wev. CAMPAIGN AT RIDGEWAY. Speeches Made by J. T. Johnson, Candidate for Congress, and Others. To-day's meeting of the county campaign was^the most orderly ever held at this place. The meeting was held in the large oak grove in "Ivy Hill." Promptly at 10 30 the meeting was called to order hy (he chairman, Mr. J. D. Harrison. The crowd were welcomed and plainly informed of the fact that no "howling down" or jeering at any of the men wonld be allowed, and also told that there were policemen enough on hand to force the crowd to give a respectable hearing to each and every one of tbe many candidates. This had a good effect on the men and during the day the best of order was maintained. At one time some of the men became noisy and one was promptly hnstled off by the officers. Daring the whole day only two arrests were made aBd each of these was due to liquor. Be it said to the credit of the place that the prayer made by Mr. Philips at the opening of the meeting w* he first made at any meeting daring -'io cam paign. The first speaker was the .HON. E. Y. LE1LMON, candidate for re-election to the legislature. Mr. Lemmon said he favored a reduction of the salaries of the professors in the State schools and that the privilege tax was a just one; has not voted for increase of appropriations for higher schools; believes the tax on fertilizers should be divided between Ciemson and Winthrop; i nnvna fftp nrfthi fcJJJ & CUC UiiV UOO uv/l wuiv 4v? ^/4 bition, but be would like to see it in its fullest meaning. Mr. Lemmon said be stood on bis merits and thought ibat be was good for one ihore "squeezing." The next speaker was MS. C. S. FORD, the prohibition candidate.

He favors redaction of salaries for professors in State schools, and is opposed to the legislature visiting State schools. J. G. MOBLEY. M:\ Mobley was received witn cueers. Mr. Mobley stands as tbe representative of the farmers and was well received by them.

Mr. Johnson was heartily greeted as he came to the front. The issues presented by Mr. Johnson was prohibition and economical government; charged unnecessary extravagance on the part of the State officers and the making of unnecessary clerkships; opposes lengthy meetings of the legislature and useless excursions to visit State schools. (Applause.) Mr. Johnson said he had voted for prohibition in ?92 and iu the legislature; said Vinrl tpfj r,h&?

The great majority of the people of Union County, irrespective of past lactioual affiliations, would be glad to see Congressman Wilson re-elected . without opposition. this year. It is at least certain?if anything is certain in politics?that he will again be returned to Congress, bv a vote which will ' * i? -X* U ? snow tne appreciation ui ms cuuus uy the people whom he lias so faithfully represented. Mr. Wilson's record has been a splendid one, and 3f a single vote of bis has been against the best interest of his people, his enemies have failed to point it ont. Clear headed, able, fearless and unpurchasable, he has forged his way rapidly to tbe front, and is to-day numbered among the i --1 . _ : . ?r ?r. OngQCeSL uuaujpjuua Ui JLyciiiuuia^y m the- lower House. This service has equipped him for splendid work for his people in the future,?has laid a foundation for actual leadership in the next and succeeding Congress. While the New Era believe* in rotation iu county and state offices, as a general rule, it deplores too frequent changes in our congressional delegation, because of the peculiar disadvantages which hed^e about a new representatives. If we believed that a congressman's only duty was to draw his salary, we would favor rotation, frequent rotation, in this office, but this salary, handsoma as it is, is but a pittance compared with "the immense interests wiih tvhich he is charged.

This promlnjnce is not ncces- : >- i u,,?. sariiv oecause ui supenui. &uhhj , uui is mainly founded on Ion* service and acquaintance with legislative affairs. ( Would that South Carolina conld go back to the precedent established in the days of Calhoun, when her influence was felt in Congre?s and the country?and send good men to Congress and keep them there! Let the fourth district begin the good work by making Congressman Wilson's majority a handsome or.e this year, lie bs$ proven his faithfulness to the trusts committed to ; him, he has won a place in the confidence and esteem of his people, he has the tact and force cf character j | I necessarv for learership, and the into- j rests of the people of bis district closc at heart. Not as a regard nor a favor to Mr. Wilson, not out of gratitude ! for his past services?which deserve j gratitude?not sololy because he makes I a gooci official, which cannot be denied?but solely for the interests of bis people, and his ability to do the people of his district the greatest good, in a strictly selfish sense, they should favor his retention in Congress.

You will remember how many of the Northern papers complimented Mr. Wilson for the way in which he disposad of the "fire-eater" of Maine. He has kept np his reputation as one of the bssr speakers in Congress, and, as the News and Courier correspor. dent said last year, "always commands the attention of the Honsc." Those who have road his speechess upon Immigration and Bankruptcy and Silver can well understand ho.v be has kept up his reputation.
