"Let slip the dogs of war" is the prevailing sentiment in Northern journalism. The newspapers pub lished in the North are using might and main to bring about a collision between the United States and Spain. Every little circumstance is grasped hold of, and exaggerated into a Casus Belli. A certain class of politicians would also have war if left to them, and so would a class of speculators. But the people, who if war is declared must go to the front and bare their breasts to the enemy are going along upon the even tenor of their way, endeavoring to ears a livlihood. The newspapers are anxior.s for war because it will furnish sersation al reading for the "stay-at -homes" and fill their coffers from an increased patronage; the politicians wE.nt war, because it gives them a hobby horse to ride before the people into office. The speculators in the event of war have in sight a large issue of bonds which they will gobble up and there by tighten their grip upon this gov ernment. At present, the war clouds appear to be gathering and every day brings tidings of developments which might precipitate a conflict at any moment. Counsel General Lee has been given to understand that his continued presence in Havana is not wanted and his recall has been demanded of this government. President M cKin ley has in a positive manner declined to accede to the wishes of Spain in this respect and that government has been given to understand that our government has every confidence in her representative and will continue him at that post. Spain is very like ly to give General Lee his passports, and in such event the United States rilay resort to other methods than diplomacy. Spain gave her consent some time ago for the United States to send provisions to the Island of Cuba to relieve the suffering among the re concentrados, our government brings into this service a couple of war ves sels, Spain objects and has requested Uncle Sam when on his errand of mercy to come in a less warlike garb. The position taken by Spain is cor rect, if our vessels are to go to the relief of the suffering with the per mission of the government in control of the Island, why go on this charity mission in a fighting attitude. Then again if General Lee is by word or act showing sympathy for the Cubans or their cause, the Spanish authorities very properly regard his presence as obnoxious among them. He was sent to Havana to represent the United States and not to encourage the insurrection now in progress.I The cause of the Maine catastrophe has not yet been officially reported, and the jingo spirit throughout this country is makig all the war capital of it they can. Notwithstanding all of the cry for blood in the United States, Spain does not show any white feathers and some think if a war does' come. Spain will hit the first blow. Of one thing we are certain, those who are urging on afight are not the men the country must depend upon in case of a conflict. Newspapers can stir up things; politicians can make1 the welkin ring with patriotic speech es, and speculators can jingle the coin in their pockets to buy bonds, but when it comes to actual war, men of iron nerves and cool heads are needed. There was a time when an excited people would applaud the orator when in an eloquent peroa tion he would say, "I will drink all the blood that is spilled," but there are many who are here to-day that will remember such boasts, and their sous have often beard the story told. No, we do not want war; if Spain has wronged us. there is plenty of brain to effect an honorable adjustment be tween the two countries by arbitra tioni. President McKinley needs $50,000, 000 to prepare for war with Spain, and in accordance with his wishes a resolution to that effect will be intro duced in Congress. Now look out for a bond issue and see how the lip-soldiers will gobble them up. A good deal of behavior hurts no body, and a little of it goes a long THE WEEK'S POLITICS, SOME INTERESTING DETELOPMENTS PROMISED. An Attempt Being Made to Unite the Prohibitionists and Local Option Men Under One Leader-Ayer Labors Un der tile Hallucination that Ellerbe Can't Win-His Man Mayfield Wants to Be Coaxed-Its Transparency Pro duces Smiles--tGeorge Tillman's Can didacy Discredited - A View of the Field. Columbia, March 5.-The most sig nificant move on the political chess board during the past week has been the call for a prohibition convention. This fight will be pushed with the zeal that is ever characteristic of the "Crusades," but altogether within the lines of the Democratic party, across which line four white men in South Carolina have the temerity to step. The strength of the Prohibition party is now an unknown factor, but there are many men who contend that this faction is very much stronger than it is popularly supposed to be. This sentiment is entertained by many of the Prohibitionists who have joined in the movement towards an organization for the purpose of put ting out a complete State ticket. As a matter of fact, zmany of the old-time Prohibitionists, especially in the ru ral districts, where the Prohibition ists have always found their strength, have bedded themselves so intimately with the dispensary party that this Gabriel's trumpet will not rouse them from their dreams. In order to com pensate for this loss of strength, it is urged by some of. the leaders to form a coalescence with the local option ists, their rival cousins, and thus draw the line sharply between dis pensary and anti-dispensary, and once having overthrown their com mon enemy and baring the bone of contention again between them, to fight out their old quarrel on new lines. It is argued that ahtagonism to the State control of liquor will make as strong a bond of union as could be desired, and will lead to po litical affiliations that under other circumstances would be impossible. The natural leader of the Prohibi tionists is Mr. Childs. It is believed that he could recall more of the wan dering sheep to the house of David than any man in the State, but he would not prove a drawing card for the local option men, and while con cession is not a characteristic of the advocates of prohibition, it is urged that the exigencies of the case must make amends for what might be re garded under ordinary circumstances as sops to cerebus or treaties with the devil. If the local optionists are to become allies of the Prohibition ists, the old principle of give and take must be employed. In view of these facts, there are many of the leaders who urge a joint ticket and who are negotiating treaties with the local option men, and it is not im probable 'that the convention called for on April 14 will have a ring streaked and striped complexion to the old-time cold water army and the contents of the canteen will have a spicy stick in it that will be a new flavor and probably not a disagreea ble one to the palates of the uncom promising. Senator Mayfleld has been again approached in the matter of leading these combined forces, as being the most acceptable man to both sides. He told the gentleman who discussed the matter with him that lhe fully agreed with them that prohibition in itself could not win, but . he thought the combination could very likely carry the State, but as for his run ning, he could not at present see his way clearly to accepting the honor of the leadership, which would mean the sacrifice of his individual busi ness just now growving to comfortable proportions and for its preservation needing his exclusive attention. The man, he argues, who enters public life, should be in a position to protect himself against the great-danger of becoming a public pensioner, wihich is the fate of so many public officers. Mr. Childs's health is against his making an active canvass, which is necessary. As a strong second to the straight Prohibition ticket, or as the eader in the event of MIr. Childs not being able to enter the race, Hon. 3. A McCullough of Greenville is prominently mentioned. He is also spokeni of as a second to the combi nation ticket if Mr. Mavyield can be induced to lead it. In regard to the other factions in the fight, there are miany whispers of fancy tinged with more or less fact, a recounting of even all the most in teresting would consume too much of your space. Briefly told, the position now is that the support of the old Re formers has been drawn away fromi Senator Archer, who seems to have reached the zenith of his popularity about the time he made his formal announcement of candidacy. Then he appeared the strongest man in the field,but he seems to have lost ground steadily ever since. He came out of the woods too soon and a getting into daylight he could not measure up all wool and a yard wide, the fill ing began to drop out and he began to be considered as a weak imitation of Ben Tillman, and there were some hints of the old fable of the lion's skin being revamped. This support is now believed to be making toward Col. R. B. Watson; yet there are some indications of the mantle falling on the shoulders of the Hon. Dan Tomp kins, who is said to stand nearer the throne of the king whose sceptre is a pitchfork than any other man in the State, and it might he that in him we will behold the promised Moses, who was refery~ed to when it wvas said by somny:the winning man has not ve ennamed." 'It isasignificant fact that this sup port does not drift towards Ellerbe, and there is now no indication of its ever doing so, yet it is said that he could readily be adopted into the po litical orphan asylum, if there was an chance of his making a running fig~ht, but there is not, and his friends who were once among the trusted guard to the ark of the covenant, are openly threatening the Knight of the Pitchfork with a fate such as over took him in the Earle-Evans election if he does not keep his nose or his pitchfork out of other people's busi ness. Ellerbe's strength is unknown. He was never adopted by the people. ers in the election by which Ellerbe became Governor, and nobody knows whether these votes were a protest against ring-rule or an acquiescence in the general management of the "bosses" by the bossed. It is these 50,000 that make the ring rather cau tious of the adoption of schemes against Ellerbe. It. is also positively stated that in spite of his declaration, in spite of the firm faith of the political leaders, that George D. Tillman will not be a candidate. It is very improbable that he could be induced to keep house with the Prohibitionists on the coalescence ticket. He is even more uncomplimentary than his brother and as strong or stronger in the pre judices. In the event, theu, that this allied force becomes a fact and puts out a ticket, it would detract so greatly from George D. Tillman's strength that he would practically be out of the race. Walt. Whitman is running because it is a habit he has; nobody objects, because he does not hurt anybody or anything and it amuses him. Interest is now being very greatly felt in the subordinate offices on the State ticket, but this letter is already too long, and your interest, kind reader, will doubtless be kept alive until next week, when I will have something to say about the gentle men that will entertain you in your idle moments. HARTwELL M. AYER. CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY. This remedy is intended especially for coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough and influenza. It has become famous for its cures of these diseases, over a large part of the civilized world. The most flattering testimonials have been received. giving ac connts of its good works; of the aggravat ing and persistent coughs it has cured; of severe colds that have yiesled promptly to its soothing effects, and of the dangerous attacks of croup it has cured. often saving the life of the child. The extensive u-e of it for whooping cough has shown that it robs that disease of all dangerous conse quences. Solt! by R. B. Loryea, druggist. Our Representative Interviewed on the Lake City Horror. Congressman Norton, who reps e sents the Lake City district, is kept busy explaining the LakeCity tragedy, and his mail is burdened with com munications from all parts of his district, assuring him that the best citizens deprecate the affair. With a view to ascertaining just how he feels on the subject I had a long interview with him at the Capitol to-day. Said he: "It was a horrible thing, this killing of Baker and his child, and the ser ious woundieg of other members of the family. No amount of provoca tion could justify the indiscriminate murder of a whole family. All law abiding citizens must condemn in no uncertain tones the perpetration of such outrages, whether they occur in Indiana or Georgia, and none the less at home. The burden of such crimes should be placed upon the guilty individuals. The acts of an irresponsible and lawless element in any community should not be charg ed up to the whole community. "From what I have been able to gather of the facts in this case I do not believe that the people of Lake City are responsible for the terrible deed done at their door. I know many of the p~eople of the town and its vacinity. They are good citizens, quiet, industrious, intelligent-men who neither commit such a crime as this nor allow its commission if they knew of the attempt. I am glad to see that in mass meeting they have denounced the criminals that brought this calamity upon them. They call! upon their fellow citizens to help them bring the criminals to justice. Instead of condemning the people of! Lake City the citizens and news papers of the State will do all in' their power to develop the real facts in the case and clear the State of this blot by fastening guilt upon the perpetrators of the deed. "It is bad business all around. There are other things than the reckless lawlessness of the murderers that may not be forgotten. If the people of Lake City had been left alone to work themselves out of tbis postoffice difficulty there would have been none of this bloodshed. They were certainly much incensed at the foisting of this incompetent, insolent and, some say, unprincipled negro on them. I know from letters to me that they were hoping for an early change. The~y did not believe the Federal Government was gzoing to continue to punish them for beingt powerless, or continue to rob them of competent service to pay a bench man of tile Republican party the price of a vote in the St. Louis con vention. I say the Lake City people, with whom I have oeen corresponu ing, were hopeful of Baker's removal. Expecting such, they certainly would not have thought of committing this crime to be rid of him. I believe, that the two colored preachers of Lake City, the Rev B. T. Blanchi and the Rev George W. Williams, are right: The white people of Lake City were not connected with this outrage perpetrated upon a Christian community." "But the fact remains that a band of lawless men, from some part of the country, has committed a fearful crime near Lake City. Who, and from where, I have no means of knowing. "Is it a fact that negro postmasters are in danger in South Carolina? "Certainly niot. Numbers of negro postmasters have served for several years in small towns in South Caro lina. It has come to be almost a matter of course for the Republicans to put negroes in the postoffices, and the white people make the best of it they can. In my home town, M~ul lins, there was a negro postmaster during Harrison's two administra tions, Latta, another small town in the same county, had a postmaster as black as Erebus, but, being atten tive and polite served his term very acceptably and with some credit to himself. There are numerous other cases of the same kind. Our people, of course, would much rather have white postmasters, but they pay more attention to competent service and polite attention than they do to color. "Now, while I have no more 'say so' as to who will be postmasters in my district than if I wvere not here, still it is a fact that negro applicants for post offices in my district write other Republican applicants. Hollo way, a colored applicant for the post office at Marion, writes me, asking me to help him over a white Repub lican. The Republican county cbair man, Collier, a colored friend of Hol loway, has also urged me to support his friend. "I tell you the Southern people and I speak mainly from a some what full knowledge of the people of my own district-the Southern people are perfectly willing for the negro to assume any position he can fit himself for. I must admit that there are those who have the Mas sachusetts idea that no negro is fit to hold office; but these in the South represent a class somewhat separated from that of the gentlemen in Mas sachusetts who fought so strenuously against the placing of an educated colored man in the Governor's coun cil. "No, all in all, I do not think the color of Baker had so much to do with the causes of his murder. There were other lines than color lines drawn in this terrible affair. It is hardly to be supposed that even men, who are guilty of the murder of Baker would have thought of such a crime if they had not heard from the patrons of the office of the inso lence of this negro to ladies. In the density of his ignorance he supposed that the United States was behind him in whatever he did, and that he could insult anybody with impunity. Charges and specifications as to his incompetency and lack of character are on file with the postoffice depart ment signed by about 200 people; the authorities were not ignorant of the kind of man they had appointed to the postoffice at Lake City. "It may be well to remember some other matters. Dr E. A. Webster, of Columbia, has been designated by the Republican authorities as referee in all things pertaining to the post offices of South Carolina. He ap points a certain E. H. Deas as referee in particular for his district. Deas, as you well know, is a negro of the most extreme republican type. His neighbors know him as a shrewd, un scrupulous and vindictive mulatto, the tool of certain Northern Repub licans, whom it is alleged he served for a price at the St Louis conven tion. Now Postmaster Baker, it seems, was a special pet of his, and sought industriously to copy the political character of the patron. Uninfluenced by the high-handed methods of his preceptor, Baker doubtless would never have aroused the madness of even the ignorance and brutality that killed him. "I could not think of condoning the commission of this great crime. I have only sought as best I can, with the knowledge I have, to firing nut the conditions in the community in which it was committed. The people of Lake City need the aid and sympathy, not the condemnation, of the law-abiding citizens of the land. In all parts of the 'United States this lawless element has at different times broken through the restraints of the law. Five men were taken from jail and hung to one limb by an Indianapolis mob because they were not good citizens. Igno rant miners in Pennsylvania were butchered by command of the sheriff himself, and the community is up holding the outr-age. From hither and yon come tidings of like crimes. Such a condition call for the serious attention of thoughtful citizens over the nation, as well North as South. "As a horrible crime the killing of Postmaster Baker must rest upon the individuals wh, committed it. As an awful cala.ity, it falls upon the good citizens of the town of Lake City. As a deep public wrong it rest upon those, who, for the furtherance of their selfish political ends, demor alize the moral c:haracter of theSoutb er negro, rob the Southern people of competent public service, purpose ly complicates the Southern problem of racial relations by thrusting venal negro henchmen into Southern offices of trust. No negro postmasters are appointed anywhere under this Gov ernment except in the South. Even in Ohio, in a community almost sol idly colored people, negro postmas ters are doubtfnl." HOUSEHOILD GODS.
