Mos> anything will bo better than imperiaiimn, au<J we hope th&t all anti-impe:ia::s'.A wiii j>iu together next year aod tarn McKtnley and his crowd out. Carl Scbura, a mougnt fal philosopher and f-cho!ar, 9aj8 that the issue of imperialism is far more dan^erom to the country than free coinage of silver. If the couutrv is to b8 saved from the hands of the conspirators, all lovers of the fundamental principles of our institutions must bury lets important is.ues nexc year, aud make a strong and united fight against imperialism. A dispatch from Washington a few d *ya ago tends to show bow fa*t we are moving. Ir was stated that Admiral Schley has fled a requet-t with the sreretery of the navy to increase the Sju'h Atlantic squadron, wh'ch is under his command. The reason stated for this request wa? '''.be belief that before long it will bd nect ssary for the United Slates to make a naval demonstration on the. coast of South Africa." The request has not been acted upon, but the reason given for the request U very iutere*ting. Why should the United States care to make a iiaral demonstration on the coast of South Africa? Wbat hare they to do with South Africa anyway? A tew years ago, the suggestion woull have been litliculed We believed then in attending to oar own business, but the Spanish war has changed things. We hare fallen no x into the habit of aping England, and we must keep it np. England is fighting in Sonth Africa, and Uncle Sam's ships innst bang around there. "Should ihe talked of coalition against Eng lan-,2, it If stated, develop into a fact the administration would iecd a fleet to the scene of trouble." Tdis is very interesting if true, and it may be true. England has been in the l&nd grabbing business a long time, and she is now after the gold in the Tranvaal. The Republican administration is something of a grabber itself when it comes to tfce filthy lucre. Isn't that why it wants the Phi'.lipines? Here U the biud then between England and the administration. Such is the result of our new policy of imperialism; it is bound 'o lead "to entangling alliances." JL DELICATE SUBJECT. One of the first men to enchain public attention and make a name lor himself in the American-Spanish war was Victor Blue, of South Carolina. Other performances during the war were more ?pectacu!ar perhaps than his, but ? rtn/1 tSa ?* 110119 W43 LUUiC UAUUg) auu *, uv n v*? of ao individual was more important. IThen Victor Bine landed on the island of Cuba and undertook a circuit of the city of Santiago he took bis life in his own hands. In a conntry where he could not speak the language. where he koew not a single1 individual, and where the topography of the lan I was ea'irely unknown, he seJ; out alons to spy oat the position arid itrength of the enemy's forces. He rnwde bis way around Santiago and th3 entire forces of the enemy and brought back information to our commanders 0!) lao'J and sea that was absolutely invaluable and which stamped him as a man of dauntless courage and a cool head. Uutil h? made the circuit of Santiago and looked down on the I giiips in the harbor, it was not absolu'ely kaown whether Cerera's fleet was in hiding there or not. Now thai Ail !he promiuent figure* in the late war, and some that were not nearly so conspicuous as "Victor Blue, havt been presented with swords or loving tups by their admiring fellow citizen?, it seems to us that South Carolina i< neglecrful of her heroic son in not giving him some substantial testimonial of the appreciation and admiration of his people for the honor which he has done the State in his heroic services to !he nation at a critiea! time. Testimonials of this character msk# priceiesi neiriooim iu ? lamuj, auu when people opruly testify their appreciation of heroic coDduet it furnishes inspiration for others when the occasion requires. We never saw Victor Blue nor any relative of his so far as we know, and da not know anybody that is personaliy interested iu securing to bim this honor from his State, but we feel that he richly deserve* such a testimonial from the people among1 whom he lives, and we take tbis liberty of making the suggestion that it i* not too late to do honor to this brave son of S?ath Carolina.?Aagu^ia Herald. Th8 matter was mentioned in the General Assembly, but some v?ry economical members cried "extravagance and hard times," and it wa? very properly dropped, the general opinion being that the least said ahont it after that the better. The armament used both in Great Bri'ainand the United States now is, thf.t a rash or unprincipled government may declare var at any time, however unjcstly; and every one mast uphold the war or be a traitor. Debate in Parliament showed pla!?ly the spirit of the opposition to be that since war has begun Britain must carry it through; but it is a rascally war nevertheless. This way of deprecating a measnre and then upholding it is rninoas to honesty in government. It enables sndacions administrations to carrr thing* with a high Laud, and the opposition may sit astride of the fence auy try to please both sides, wbispering to one, "This is an ontrage, bat we can't help it;" and calling to ;he other, "We ara wrh yon, rigi.t or wrong." Wiilia.n Pitt wa* a bigger man than that. Giadston-; w^s a bigger man than that. And it will fce foe ad ibat there are statesmen in the Uaited States who are bigger men than thit. It is repotted that several members of the Baptist convention in YorkvilJe spoke on education aid wne unaoi moQS in opposition to iree mmuii iu the State colleges. These gentlemen forget that in the eye of the State all the people of the Slate are citizens of the .State first, and Baptists, Methodtsts and so forth afttrwards. They are just as mach bound to their State colleges through their representatives as they are to their denominational colleges through their conventions, conferences and synods The denominational college is no more a private eollege than ihe State college. One is goremea oy a reugious uigau^o. ivu and the other by a political organization; and each organization makes many pf-ople Bnoport its institution whether they wi*h to do so or not. There ?rn ,no private coilegei in vhe State. The method of pacing roand the hat in ehurch or hiuding round a nb#crip'Ion list after a zaalons address o: fiermon i? as powerful a means o: get tine money out of a person's pocket a* an aot of the legislature. As fd , therefore, h* t:i*t 53 oncernei both kinds of college a S'and 3 I alike. Whea the qae^ion of free tuition ii broached, that is a matte;' affecting i bs spre td of edac uion. Tiie S a?p, ?et ios< the neceisity of educating it* yomh. ind more especially its poor youth, er-ctB colleges for their benefit, and it mu?t make these colleges oiler facilities as cheaply as possible, in order to accomplish their porpise. Then som<i corporation or some craaeizttiou f)-liev?s ir has a roiieion ;o perform in educating von'h and ii alsoerec-4 colleges. But since i;s resources a*e le*s than those of the State, it is necssarr to m-.ke the coit o' education higher. The poor b"Y. fhorpfnr-'. mnst nav more f>r hie edu cstion in order to allow spcci*! in-t!tations (<> exist. This is an unmi'igated tax on the poor man. It tends to keep aim ignorant. What wocla be thougi.it of any philanthropist who would erect a great school or library and then deliberately make the cha-ge so bigh t-at no one can come iy? It is coming more aud more to be true that io order to securo health ana comfort one must have wealth.

Thank H:-i ren, the Stale is itill here to put its corporate hand iuto its corporate pocket and establish schools, college?, hospital* and asylums for the poor as well as the rich. This is the age of protection. Every one wishes the State to cat down free competition. Every industry looks wltlr angry eye upon any inflaeoce tnu lowers me price of the commodity it is selling-.

A Private # Recollection of the Second Battle of Cold Harbor and the Conspicuous Part Some in that Battle by Sergeant Kembert, of Capt. Graham'* Company of the 2nd S. Reciment. Sumter Herald. j Eiiior The Sumter Herald.?Much j has Deei) v>;itten j;j:d published in the newspapers of the = a:!antrv displayed by generals in leading their men in charges against the enemy's ]ine=, javl at tbe opportune time, and often turning a defeat into a brilliant victory ; but it is seldom that such yaiiait leadership at such times, by individual members of the rank and file, is even published in tbe newspapers, ran-.n less to find its way in history. Brt I propose first, to give your readers ray recollections of the battle, as participated in, by the 2nd S. C. Regiment on toe occasion related below, which will lead 3 our readers through the surrounding circamstances and to the point in the crisis of the battle which j impelled Sergeant Rembert to per! form the heroic deed. 1 Kershaw's Brigade had takes their j position in line, and had hastily thrown I up temporary breast-works for our defence, and feeling ourselves about ready for the enemy's advance/ which we were momentarily expecting. It j was then that the startling newi j reached us that ihe enemy had broken I our lines on our right and were in I possession of oar fortifications tuere, jtnd tbat the 2nd S. C. Regiment and the 3rd Baitallion of Kershaw's Brigade wsre ordered by General Kershaw to go to the right, and storm and retake the works, out of which onr forces had been driven, and behind which the enemy were posted. We dreaded this move, knowiDg that it was a desperale undertaking to drive the enemy out of this position, aad tbat if it conld be dons it must be done quickly, as th-3 enemy would as quickly a6 possible push forward his reinforcements for the impending battle. We obeyed the order of our geueral, however, (with uucomplinieniary remarks against those who would not hold their lines) and started on cur i oka nnHprfakincr. While en j uMvtw. ?D - .. j route for the battle-field we met those j making their way to the rear, who j bad been driven out of the fortificai tione, which we were then going to | take. We called on them to go back I with us aud help us take the works. Some of thim could not stand the appeals, which were showered on them thick and fast, aod joined us in the icharge. I Without going further into detail jnst here I will .'top long enough to de^eribe the physical features of the batile field as near as I ean now recollect after the lapse of nearly 35 years: Facing to the southwest from the fortifications, which we stormed ana captured, Jay a large, open arid uncultivated field about one-fourib of a miie in extent to the northeast termi nating at a skirt of woods and on elevated ground. It was in this skirt of woods, just at the edgy ot the field the enemy were po?!e-1 lehiod the breastworks iat?!y held by our forces. Abont 200 yaids in tr >nt of the fortifications, on an incine from the fortifications an i parallel with ihern lay a depression or a ravine, wi;h elevated ground to iho i\ar over which we had sdv<ir.oed and to the front where the en- iuy l*y. We were halted in this ravine and aligned for the final charge, the f-iisiny's bullets passing harmle.^iy over v.t-r heads aa v. e were beiow the ran^e of ihtir musketry. The 'clone: rdered us t > ch irtrc as soon e w*er?r ai?gs!cd. W?- obe\ed the com amnu t>y moving cut o: tae ceprestiu.j in tiio directiou of (be enemv. until we c*me in deadiv con'act wi.h the rau.eof thir mu?ketry aud then fell back into the depletion or ravine referred to, wi:hout any paoic. Tbe Colonel ordered as again to charge wi;h the fame re-nlc. 1 da not now recollcc l.-ow many limes this move was repeated with tbe ;-ame result each iim*. bat I du recollect that it did coutinue until Sergeant Rembert. of Capt. Graham's comply* ol the 2nd S. 0. Regi^neot, advanced iu front of th* rt-eimenr, raised hie cap, waved it above bis head, and started for tbe breastworks and every nun in tbe regiment, so far as I know, followed hiic, and s.> quickly and impetuously was the charge made that we lost but men and drove tha ?,nemv out of the fortification, re-establishing the Confederate lir.e and capturing the 4Sch New York Regiment's flag. I have thought that tbi3 gallant cha'ge by the two commands above refei red to made General Kershaw a major-general, a^ he was promoted on the field at the second battle of Cold H trb r for gallantry and merit In'peaking to General Kershaw of the g .Ilant conduct ol Sergeant Kembcrt not long before bis d; ath he 6taled ;o me that Le wished he had known it before, and had he lived long enough to have completed the history whish the Legislature appointed him to compile, tnis incident of Sergeant Rembert would have been recorded as a part of that history, I have no doubt. I have written this article in justice ;o the name of the gallant sergeant, whom I have learned is sow dead, so that th:s incident of him can be perpvtuated by his relatives, by hi* friends and bv the gallant people of Sumter County, ot wbich he was once a citizen and a gallant Confederate soldier, as >a-;h heroic deed9 should not be forgotten.
