Tie Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25tb; rebuilt July 19. 1891. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C.. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY IS. 1899. The Legilature has done nothing of interest to our readers. The only matter in which our people are interested is Mr. Sharpe's bill to reduce the ncmber of magistrates in this county from eight to four. The con ideration of the bill precipitated a discussion between himself and Mr. Efird. On Saturday Mr. Efird asked the unanimous consent of the House to introduce an amendment Monday. When he gave notice of his amendment. M7>nd iv. Mr. Sbaroe objected. Mr. Efird then said that he would be compelled to oppose the measure. In the primary just held last summer eight nominees for the position of magistrate were elected He thought it would be unjust to them to throw them out until their terms expired. He had agreed to the bill, but would now be compelled to fight it unless his amendment be permitted. Mr. Sharpe said that be himself had advocated this measure on the stump last summer, and Mr. Efird would not have dared oppose it, for he would not have been elected. Mr. Efird was trying to shelve the bill for two years, while he wanted it to go into effect right away. His bill provided that the number of magistrates be reduced to four and that the salaries be uniform. At present the salaries range from $50 to $150. Mr. Magill, as chairman of the committee on privileges and elections said that the bill had been unanii* mously reported favorably, as Mr. snarpe naa statea tnat trie entire delegation favored the bill. Mr. Efird had had time to appear before the committee, he had had time to amend the bill, and why did he not do so before the last moment. Mr. Efird said he had had enough to do to look out for his own bills and hadn't time to be finding objections to the measures of other mem bers. He said that it was not right to i ! nominate men and then knock them out of office. He moved to recommit the bill. This motion was voted down by a good majority and the bill passed over to the senate with only .one negative vote. The tax extension bill has received its third reading in both Houses. The General Assembly will meet in joint session to elect a superintendent of the penitentiary. _ Gov. Ellerbe was inaugurated to day. Senator McLaurin has stated his determination to push the measure which is pending in the Senate for the reiief of the wife and children of postmaster Baker who was killed at Lake City, in this State, sometime ago. The relief proposed is the gift of $10,000. The Lee county proposition, like Banquo's ghost, will not down not withstanding the deliverance of the Supreme court that that the act providing for its formation was unconstitutional. The dispensary is here to staj. High license advocates can smoke this in their pipes and get what consolation they can out of it. General Wheeler ascribes his hardihood to regular hours. He goes to bed at 10 and arises at 7:30 in the morning. According to statistics, women today are two inches taller, on an aver. age, than they were 20 or 30 years ago. ' There is great chasm between the man who runs a distillery and the man who goes without his dinner to . help send the Gospel to the Heathen. The Columbia State got left in tLe gubernatorial control and is in bad temper as a consequence. Judge Sage, of Cincinnati, islectur ing on "The Death of the Devil," and many orphans attend their father's / l lunerai. The opposition to the ratification of the treaty with Spain is growing in strength every day in Congress. The American flag flies from the wreck of the Maine, bluejackets from the Texas having unfurled the colors. Father Walsh, a Catholic priest of Chicago' has become a member (f the Knights of Pythias. The United States troops keeping order in Havana are encamped in the heart of the city. Let your light shine and it will speak fir itself. Dou't put up a finger board pointing to it.

CONTINUED EROM E1RST PACE and recovered several, and about one dozen of them showed the marks of damage by our vessels and some of them were stricken twice and yet amazing as the statement may ap pear, not one of them had the power to injure an American vessel or soldier. Our fleet was plowing through a watery graveyard during all the engagement, encountering all the time with the smouldering volcanoes of j death and yet unharmed! What j hand calmed those savage bosoms? What spirit quieted those monsters of the ba\? What power prevented those engines of death from the dreadful execution of their intentioL? Is there any language understood to those vindictive and revengeful im plements of war? Can those bloodthirsty minions of carnage and death ever be made to speak forth a message of peace or send up a proclamation of good will? While these powers were constrained to do no harm, the same navy was dealing out death and destruction with an unrestrained hand to the Spanish soldiers and fortifications on shore. A great many of earth's greav sf men do not even concede that there is a God or even any power above or beneath that rules the destinies of men. They give all credit to luck, chance and opportunity?but the i biggest fool in all the world is the j man who is fooled by chance. A | man who explains everything by j natural causes thinks the man who ; believes in Providence a madman or! a poor simple maniac; but the hum-1 blest citizen who gratefully adores! the guidance of a superior intelli- j ? 1 - A _ __ I gence is a wiser, Getter ana greater , man than any mind that denies it. It seems to me that if any citizen doubted the justice of the war with Spain at one time he by this time should have his doubts removed, but I can very well see that a man who thinks that war is a brutal, revenge of one nation against another and all battles and revolutions finally end with the side of brute force and superior generalship could gainsay thj wisdom of the war with Spain. The freedom of Cuba and utke blowing up of the Maine'1 were not the causes of the war with Spain. That war was with a greater power than Spain, and America was only the instrument. There is such a fault as being too conservative aud there is such a sin as being too revolutionary. The conflicting of these two will generally produce a resultant which is much nearer right. It was not Napoleon that made the J French revoluton, but the conditions of Europe at the time were the causes that made him possible and a neces sity. It wis not Napoleon who made the revolution, but the revolu tion was the parent of the opportu nity which made him or some other great leader a logical consequence, and the past in all cases has shown that on such occasions God has pre pared the sacrifice for the altar. In many cases he has been a vain, am bitious, ungrateful wretch, but he has been given faculties and capacities commensurate with the opportunity and the demand -but when the j day ended which called him forth, his life has gone down with the setting sun. The dawn of this Spanish war brings another eventful issue in the history of nations and an occasion which has been long in preparation and the little military encounter with Spain is only the skirmish before a general engagement. The whole scene has been only a continued lesson of God's handwriting in the civil government of men. If the tragic events of the last few months do not show the guidance of an Almighty arm, they prove nothing.

The battle of Manila was ihe echo of a new revolution. Its omens were continued on land and sea -without iutermiesion till the downfall of the Spanish flig. The flags of America and Spain represented two very different powers. In 1102 when Christopher Columbus returned to Spain aDd reported to the kiDg and queen that he bad discovered a New Foundland, one of the first things that Ferdinand and Isabella did was to send messengers to the Pope of Home and give to his holiness all the realms and lands embraced in the great discovery. The grateful successor to St. Peter re ceived them and then bestowed them back to the king and queen of Spain - - 1 /\ f T^A. US tue ltlltuiui cuaiuuittuo ui tuc x?vman Catholic Church. But in the prcrldence of God the land was pecpled by the Protestant Anglo-Saxon and his children. By successive conquests and purchases of this restless, progressive family of people this country has been entirely captured from the Spanish crown and now we see its soldiers and sailors wrestling the last of Spain's possessions from her relentless tyranny. The Anglo-Saxon established here liberty of conscience, in politics and religion and our great Republic became the coveted haven of the Protestant exiles of all lands. Her flag has become the emblem of protection to the persecuted of all countries and in turn has been given by the God of nations the task of being the great exemplar in government and the great liberator to the poor and distressed of earth's scat[ tered families with the Anglo-Saxon gives wherever he lives a spiritual Christianity and a personal liberty and personal independence, and free 11 L 3 ^ ^ ?f ^ IDOUgUl, auu iit't'UULu ui CA^/icoaiwu ?these trophies our flag will carry to all our new possessions. By our battles and successes on land and sea it is clear to any observant mind that God himself has sealed his commission as a missionary to the "Isles of the sea.*' It is very clear that a greater nation has arisen to take Spain's place and to sheer her of her terrors and give more of the sons of men a place among freemen and a right to be re ligiously what they desire. He is a blind man who can't see the direc tion of a superior intelligence. I am not of the opinion that the Republi cin Administration meant expansion at the commencment of this strug gle. But one achievement led on to another and now that the Adminis tration sees that our destiny is more ? < ? ? i i? i. evident ana our uuiy muiu i-ieauj marked out and that as the in strument in the hands of a supreme intelligence for a great purpose. How humiliating to a free born American to read of the departure from Spain of poor Cervera'a fleet. To see his poor, deluded soldiers kneeling around the statue of "the Virgin Mary" and receiving the blessings of the Catholic Church and promising a poor statue of lifeless marble that they would hold the Spanish colonies for *'you and your son Jesus and for the Holy Catholic Church, we will die in the attempt." The fight at Santiago revealed to Cevera and his soldiers that they were living in a [ dream but the guns of the American ! navy and the crash of those burning [ vessels awake ned them to a reality. be) ed among the Ameiicau auxili;ries ami over ten million of p* ople have been released from political ai-d religious captivity and now shak their chaius in seraphic delight. The hundred million dollars in SpauUh bonds in Cuba and near seven hundred million dollars in bonds in the other islands dry up like autumn leaves and their very existence vanish like a dream. Even the debts that crushed them to the ground and taxed them to lo.'eriy have taken! eagle's wings and departed from their once desolate but cow revived islands. Before the departure of our peace commissioners to Paris a representative body of Citholic clergy called | on President McKinley and asked i that the coalition of Caurch and State in all the subjucated lands be retained and that the authority of i the Pope of Rome be preserved. The President shook his head very majestically and said, "gentlemen, that would be hostile to the genius cf American institutions.'' Whatever we may conclude or think the futuie will show that the conflict is one be tween Protestism and Cotholicisra and it is right and proper that the fight should be carried on by the Republicen party as that is pre-emTO BE CONTINUED. was s t o n*e d man is stoned hustling- men who have no place and no use for him.
