Tlie Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. HARM AN. Editor and Tubiisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WFDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 22. 1890. Words! Words!! Words!!! President Wrn. McK'nley arrived ia Boston on February 16, and was the guest of the Heme Maiket club at a banquet in his honor at Meehan ics hall. After being introduced the President spoke as follows: Mr Toastmaster and GectlemeD: The years go quickly. It seems cot so long, but it is in fact six years since it was my honor to be a guest of the Home - Market club. Much has happened in the intervening time. Issues which were then engaging us have been settled or put aside for larger and more absorbing ones. Domestic conditions have improved and are generally satisfactory. We have made progress in industry and have realized the prosperity for which we have been striving. We had four long years of adversity, which have taught us some lessors which will never be unlearned and which will be valuable in guiding our future action. We have not only been successful in our financial and business aff-tirs, but we have been successful in a war with a foreign power which added great glory to American arms and a new chapter to American history. T dn rinf bnnw nliv in fhn rp?r " " ?J *? 1893 tbis republic has unexpectedly had placed before it mighty problems Which it must face and meet. They have come'and are here, and they could not be kept away. Many who were impatient for the conflict a year ago, apparently heedless of its larger results, were the first to cry cut against the far reaching consequences of their own act. Those of us who dreaded war most, and whose every effort was directed to prevent it, bad fears of new and grave problems which might follow its inauguration The evolution of events which no man could control has brought these problems upon us. Certain it is that they have not come through any fault on our own part, but as a high obligation, and we meet them with a clear conscience and unselfish purpose and with good heart to re sol v? to nndertake their solution. "\V? j ? "i j A :i i ono ???t wca ucuaicu ju nuui, ioi'o, with practical unanimity by the con11 gress, and, once upon us, was sus * tained by like unanimity among the people. There are many who tried to avert it, as on the other hand there are others who would have precipita* ted it at an eailier date. In its prosecution and conclusion the great majority of our countrymen of every section believed that they wore fighting in a just cause, and at home or on ssa or in the field they had a part in its glor ious tiiumph. It was a war " of an undivided nation. Every great act of its progress, from Manila to Smtiago, from Guam to Pana, met universal and hearty commendation. The protocol commanded practically the approval of the American people. It was welcomed by every lover of peace under the flag. The Philippines, like Cuba and Puerto Rico, were entrusted to our hands by the war, and to that great trust, under the providence of God and in the name of human progress and civilization, we are committed. It is a trust we have not sought; P is a trust from which we will not finch. The American people will hold up the hands of the servants at home to whom they committed its action, while Dewey and Otis and the brave men whom they command will have the support of the country in upholding our Hag where it now floats, the symbol and assurance of . liberty ar.d justice. "What nation was ever able to write an accurate program of the war upon which it was entering, much less decree in advance the scope of its results? C mgress can declare war, but t_:_i .. :l.. u 1. 1 lijguex powtri utxiues us uuuuus ciuu fixes its realities and responsibilities. The President can direct the movements of soldiers in the field and fleets upon the sea, but he cannot foresee the close of such movements and prescribe their limits. He can not anticipate or avoid the consequences, but he must meet them. No accurate map of nations engaged in war cau be traced until the war is over, nor can the m asure of respon sibility be fixed until the last gun is fired and the verdict embodied in the stipulations of peace. We hear no complaint of the relations cieated by the war between ibis government and the islands of Cuba and Pueito Pico. There are some who regard the Philippines in a dif ferent relation, but whatever variety of views there may be on this phase of the question, there is universal agreement that the Philippines shall not be turned back to Spain. No true American consents to that. Even if unwilling to accept then) ourselves, it would have been a weak evasion of manly duty to require I " " ~ Spa;n to transfer tbem to some other p iwer or powers and thus eh rk our own responsibility. Even if we had, as we did not have, the power to c mpel such a transfer, it could not have been made without the most serious international complications. Such a course could not be thought of. And yet had we refused to accept the cession of them, even fur their own good. We could not disj charge the responsibilities upon us until these inlands became ours, either by cor quest or treaty. There was but one alternative and that was either Spain or the United States in the Philippines. The other sugges tion?first, that they should be tossed into the arena of contention for the strife of nations; or, second, to be left to the anarchy and chaos of no protectorate at all, were too shameful to be considered. The treaty gave them to the United States Could we have required less and done our duty? Could we, afte-r freeing the Filipinos from the dominitiou of - SpaiD, have left them without government and without power to protect life and property or to perforin the international obligations essential to an independent statt? Could we have left them in a state of anarchy and justified ourselves in our own conscience or before the tribunal of- mankind? Could we have done that iu the sight of God and man? Our concern was not for territory, * ' * x l. . 1 _ trade, or empire, out ior eue peopie whose interests aud destiny, without willing it, had been put in our hands. It was this feeling from the first dsy to the last on?? not one word or line went from the executive in Washington to our military and naval commanders at Manila or to our peace commissioners at Paris that did not put as the sole purpose to be kept in miud first after success of our arms and the maintenance of our honor, the welfare and happiness and the rights of the inhabitants of the I o Philippine islands. D;d we need their consent to perform a great act of humanit}? We had it in eve.y aspiration of their minds, in every hope of their hearts. Was it necescessary to ask their consent to capture Manila, the capital of their island? Did we ask their consent to liberate them from Spanish sovereignty or to enter Manila bay and destroy the Spanish sea power there? --We do not ask these; we were obeying a higher moral obligation which rested on us and which did not require anybody's consent. We were doing our duty toward them by th9 consent of our own conscience aod and with the approval of our civilization. Every present obligation has been met and fulfilled iu the explusion of the Spanish sovj eignty from their islands, and while the war that destroyed it was io piogress we could not ask their views. Nor can we ask their consent. Iudeed, can any one tell me in what form it could be marshaled and ascertained until peace aud order, so necessary to reign of reasoD, shall be j secured and established? A reign of | terror is not the kind of rule under j which right action and deliberate j judgment are possible. It is not a i good time for the liberator to submit important questions conceinirg liberty and government to those to j be liberated while they are engagad I in shooting down'their rescurers. We have ended the war with Spain. The treaty has been ratified by mo:e than two-thirds of the Senate of Ue United States and by the judgmei t ! of nioe tenths cf the people. No ; nation was ever more fortunate in war | or more honorable in peace. It rej mains to ask what we shall now do. | I do not intrude upon the duties of i Congress or seek to anticipate or forej stall its actions. I only say the treaty I of peace, honorably secured, having j beeu ratified by the United States, i and as we confidently expect, shortly to be ratified in Spain, Congress will have the power, aud I am sure the i purpose to do what in good morals ; what is right and j ist and hu; mi.ne foi those people in distant seas. ! The future of the Philippine is : lauds i3 now in the hands of the I Ameiieau people. Until the treaty i was ratified or rejected the executive ; department of this government i could ouly preserve the peace and ! protect lives and property. That : h-cotv PAiriniiie tlio froo ariit r>n. I franchisee! Filipinos to the guiding j hand and liberating influences, the j generous sympathies, the uplifting ! education, not of their American ; masters, but of their American eman | cipators. No one can teil today what I is best for them cr for us. I know i no one at this hour who is wite enough or sufficiently informed to | determine what form of government will best subserve their iuter: ests and ours, ibeir and our well beI j ing. If we kuew everything by in; tuition?and I sometimes think there j are those who believe that if we do : not they do?we should not need in formation, but unfortunately most of I us are not in that happy state. The whole subject is now with CoDgns* and Congress is the voice, the con| science and the judgment of the American people. Upon the j idg ment and conscience can we not rely .' I believe them. I trust them. I know Con tin u -d on page 2. " | Oue little trouble may make us ; forgft a dozen thiugs we ougbt to be ! thankful for. ! A capital idea for a writer is to have money enough in bank to enable him to write checks. It is well to know thyself, and it j is also well to know that the comraerI cial agencies speak well of you. Tie poor have but little show in | this world. Some editors reject I poems for no other reason than that | they are poor. . A physician says that as a rule i women live longer than men. We ; have frequently noticed that widows live loDger than the men whose wives they were. Ignorance is of much less consei n i (tuence than knowledge of things we 1 I * j don't know. Dr. M. A.

About ten farmers in the neighborhood of Trenton, S. C, will plant tobacco instead of cotton. A few nights ago a negro in Charleston attempted to cremate his wife. He was arrested. Gen. McCrady's fiist volume of the History of South Carolina has attracted wide and favorable attention. A two or three weeka' course of Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine will so Ungulate the Excretory Func tions that they will operate without any aid whatever. The individual who is compelled to live entirely on sweets soon sours on them. L's an easy task to write a man's posthumous biography. He can't get back at you. Occasionally a young man wakes up fresh as a daisy?and his freshness continues all day. A Kentuckian who always carries a pint bottle says it's just as easy to get hilarious on water as it i9 on land. History tells us Rome was saved by the cackling of geese. Some of our politicians seem bent on trying to make history repeat itself. To Sweeten the Breath, Brighten the Eye, Ciear the Cjmplexion and Insure the natural Bloom of Health, use Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine. After a politician has been dead 30 or 40 years he is sometimes referred . to as a statesman. When a man does something mean to you that you had thought of doing to him it warps the golden rule. When a man steals he does it for himself: but when a woman steals she does it for some worthless man. Or all meddlers, there is none who get it in the solar plexus quite so hard as those who meddle with love. A J. G>11, Jr., Scotia, S. C, write : I have used Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver I Medicine in my family 10 years. It I h is cured Indigestion, Dyspepsia, | Constipation, and many other ail LUCUt?. Probably tbe milliner realizes her inability to make fine birds of fine feathers, so she decorates hats with them; The fact that there are jast as good fish in the sea as ever were caught is rather encouraging to tbe piscatoiial ear.

Atlanta, Gl i Disgusted With Political Lif\ Robert L Tatlor, thiice governor I ? . i c.i A . f T* ? ?? I 01 me OViie ui nuuesN'c, a uiuu i j much iu pe i'.ical l.f<*, has evidently j discovered the path of polities to be a rough and not entirely pleasant one. Read an extract fiom his fatewell speech: ' While I believe that the good in politics outweighs the ba.l, yet how thorny is the path and how unhappy is the pilgrimage to bin who dares to do his duty ? There are no ll nvers except a few bouquets snatched from the graves of fallen foe?; there is no happiness except the transient lb:ill of cruel triumph, which passes like a shadow across the heait. ' Every honest man who runs for office is a candidate for trouble for the fruits of political victory turn to ashes 011 the lips. "To me there is nothing in this worli so pathetic as a candidate. He is like a maiiner without a compas?, drifting on the tempest-tossed waves of uncertainty, between the smiling cliffr of hope and the frowning crags of fear. He is a walking petition and a living prayer; he is the pack horse of public sentiment he is the dromedary of politics. And even as he reaches the goal of his ambition, he will soon feel the beak of the vulture in his heait and the f rng of the serpent in his soul. "I am no longer a candidate Never again will I be inaugurated o o into public office. Th3 ark of my humble public career now rests en the Arrarat of private life, and I stand on its peaceful summit and look down on the receding fl >od of politics. The dove of my destiny has brought me an olive branch from happier fields and I go thence to labor and to love."' G-aand Exception. To the Editor of the Dispatch: On last Friday night, January 27' b, I had the pleasure of attending the grand reception of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. W. Shall, given by Mr. Shull at his handsome home in New Brookland. Many relatives and friends were present to welcome Mr. Shull and his bride in .their new home. All were highly entertained. It is suffice to say the supper and all refreshments were elegant and second to none ever before prepared. The Brookland Striog Band furnished splendid music, and all ei.joyed themselves at this grand reception It will long be remembered by every one present. Mr. Shull is a handsome and popular business gentleman and Lis charming aDd accomplished bride is well known. Once more wishing them God 3peed through the journey of life. ' D. ~ - .
