Thcro is no escapo from war botwoeu ! tim Dui teil State? and Spain unless iho| latter ingloriously baokH down. Thia not to bo expectod. TJ10 ruling dynasty j in .Spain perceive that it is better to | j'u;ht a foreign than an internal foe. Tho ultimatum was cabled to Madrid I yesterday afternoon by rresident Mo-1 Kinley, giving Spain forty-eight hours to ovaeuato Cuba and withdraw bor land and naval forces. Tho dornend has mot iv Hat. refusal. Tho European powers can do nothing furthov by way of media tion. Tho ministers and consuls of tho I respectivo governments huvo withdrawn from tho territory cf tho contending par tios. Thus everything ib in roadinoss for j opon hostilities. lt. is probablo that boforo tho ond of ibis wook a groat naval engagement will bo fought in Cohan waters. Acting on tho udvlco of Consul Gonoral Loo, an army wbl bo landed upon Cuba, and our I government will use both land and naval cs against thc Siianish troops. Tho dio has now boon cast, and patrio tic! Americans will respond as ono man I to tho oall to arms. It is announced thnt| there arc nov,-over ouo million npplioa lions on lllo in tho War Dopartinont at Washington for enlistment as volunteers in tho army and navy. Two hundred thousand, troops aro now ot tho Prosi dent'e disposal. Tho destruction of tho Maine and hor orow by Spanish troachory will bo avongod. War is a terrible thing, but iii tilla instance tho hardoi- tho con flict at tho oulsot, tho soouor it will bo , onded. \In our opinion it may last from six months to a year, with a chanco that it might bo seemor duded. An Honor to Yirglnln. j No man in America to-day receives, and indued dc?ui VOM, moro of good will and praiso of this free pcoplo than Fitz Jiiigh J.co. On his roturn from Culm, whore ho has spout two years as Cousul Gonoral of this nation, bo landed at Key "West, Florida, and proceeded thonco to ??< Washington. At every stop ho received ' a perfect ovation. At Richmond, Vir ginia, JeirMiousand peoplo mot bim at tlu hain to do him honor. Whoa ho reached Washington tho air resounded with hurrahs to tho old hero. His praises arc on every tongue without dis tinction of party. Why all thin? lie porformod well his duty to his country. Tito Burdons of Taxation. lu every campaign in this Slate since 1870, tho cry of " Reform " in tho gov orument of tho State has caught our ear and wc have been lcd to boliovo thal the moaning of " Reform," as used, was an intended reduction of thc taxes exacted from tho citizens ami a corresponding reduction of government expenditure, From 1870 to ISM) tho State levy varied from li to BJ mills, with no reduction of expenditure. Under these taxes thc voters of tho St ato woro not satisfied, and in 1890 they became restless. Thc pcoplo arose in their might and presented a solid phalanx in a determined offert to chango their ruling class. Af tm- a hit ter and hard-fought campaign success crowned their efforts. When tho result of that election was announced tho mass of voters retired from the Held of politics, satisfied in thc. belief that victory incant relief to them and tho State. Many expressed thc opinion that no benefits would accrue from thc chango, and for this expression they were severely censured; so sure wore tho victors that their friends held the reins und would guido tho Ship of St"te might, they would brook no criti cism. Thoy consoled themselves for six years in tho boin; that thc promised benefits were only deferred and that their friends would soon accomplish hc.nc.'ici:'1 l'C'.ilt?- They conceded thai, it took timo to solve tho problom. After eight years' waiting it transpires that the wlshed-for reform is a snare and a delusion. Thoro has been no realiza tion or tho good results looked for as a roturn for their earnest clforts. Since 1800, while thc assessed value of the property of tho State has increased some $111,000,11111), st ill t here is no decrease in the levy, and weare blandly told it must. yet. go higher. ' Wo have refunded tho State debt at an an ll fla! saving of $100,0T<U Why is there an increased oxpcnditi.ro by tho State ? Cannot the government bc. conducted efficiently on less money than formerly ? The corn cribs and meat houses ask the (pies!.ion. The family cinda asks the question. The simple, imperative needs of thc country ask tho question in thun der tones. We fool that tho stringency of tho times should induce our law-making hodies to answer the question with an emphatic " Yes." But the enforcement, of this kind of reform must come, as it always has, from the rank and li lo of the people af the ballot, box. From 1870 to 1 BOO tho prico of farm products was very nearly double thal of to-day. A dollar to-day will purchase about twice as nundi as it would then. Products are worth less, and a dollar is worth more. It takes only about half thc dollars to defray tho expenses of living now that it. did then. From 1870 to 1800 tho salaries of State officers were $2,100; that of Govornor and Judges $?3,600. Tho salaries of State Officers arc now $1,000; the (inver nor$:5,000; tho Judges $2,750. Thc num ber of State officers has been increased nearly enough to consume ill that is saved in tho salary reduction. State Prohibitionists Act. The State Prohibition Convention mot in Columbia last Thursday. Thirty-two counties were represented. Col. .Ins. A.
