History does not recall a time when the head of this government had a more perplexing problem to solve and under such embarassing sur roundings. The United States and Spain have been enjoying friendly relations-the two governments feel a kind of kinship; within almost speak ing distance of the United States is the Island of Cuba, in the very throes of agony brought about by her own people,and now they are crying for aid. This island has a!ways been a lava bed of insurrection and it has kept the mother country in a state of feverish anxiety; but with all of the outbreaks which have occured our government has never before felt called upon to interfere. Are there grounds for in terference now? It is true that suffer ing exists, many of those people have not the comforts of life and starva tion stares them in face, but is that not one of the usual results of war? When the war between the States was raging there were times when the people of the South found the necessaries of life scant, no foreign country came forward and intervened. In our opinion many of the reports which reach us from Cuba are highly colored, and many of them purpor ting to come from Cuba, actually eminate in the headquarters. of the Cuban Junta in New York city. This Cuban organization is one of the most complete that was ever organ ized in this country, it seems to have any amount of money and in every city in this country it has branches and agents scattered everywhere. This organization has through some influence, about gotten possession of Congress, and the great daily news papers. It is openly charged that Senators Thurston and Gallinger who returned from Cuba with such graph ic accounts of the cruelities and bar barismn, were the paid representa tives of the newspapers controlled by the Cuban Junta. It is also strongly intimated that the reports of these two Senators were written before they left for Cuba, and the dramatic speech of Senator Thurston, in which he so feelingly alluded to his dead wife was studiously prepared and was in cold type in the newspaper offices twelve hours before its delivery. If these charges are true, surely the United States Senate is not that high and honorable body represented to be. The idea of Senators using such a high office as a means to assist secret organizations in an insurrection against a friendly power. If these Senators were the paid representa tives of a newspaper or an organiza tion they should not be allowed to remain upon the floor of the Senate no more so, than a Senator who is the paid representative of a concern seeking to make a contract with the government to build battleships President McKinley has grasped the situation and re'alies that he has an up hill job on his hands in the effort to save this country from being plung ed into a war, by a set of hot-beaded men who will not have to share any of the trial, dangers, and privations of war. We venture that if a resolu tion is offered in Congress declaring war, and in it is incorporated a clause that it shall become the duty of the memnbers of Congress to take the field, the resolution will fail of pas sage, and if it does pass, it would be followed by another almost immediately declaring p~eace. The people do not want a war as they do not feel that there exists a just cause, nor is their anything in the present contention which appeals to their pa triotism. If this government forces a war, the people will go into it cold blooded, upon the principle of wheth er right or wrong, t! 'ril fight for the nation's flag. The prospects of war so oversha dows our State politics that it is dif ficult to make any predictions at this time; however the opposition to our present governor has been lessened to a considerable degree, and it is doubtful if all of the candidates so freely spoken of, will enter the race A CLARENDON BOY IN TROUBLE. Elsewhere we publish a full ac count of the trouble at the Citadel as taken from the News & Courier. Ser geant Canty is one of Clarendon's best young men, a son of Hon. Joseph S. Cantey of Summerton, and a more honorable boy never put on a uni form. If he reported any of the boys for breaking barracks it was his duty to do so, and the violent out break against the young man is cer tainly unf3rtunate. The people throughout South Carolina will not tolerate such conduct and unless the officers in charge of the institution punish the offenders, the next session of the Legislatur' will take the mat ter in hand and very likely withhold the appropriation to continue the Citadel. Cantey is a noble fellow, conscien tious and the soul of honor. He is being trained a soldier and his first duty is to obey ordoes; we therefore suppose that in making his report of those of his comrades who broke barracks, it was one of the duties im posed upon him by his superior offi cers. He comes of stock that will not be intimidated, even by a mob many of whom were "under the in fluence of whiskey." His Uncle Bill Cantey, rather than surrender his company at the battle of Five Forks, gave up his life,and Cadet Cantey will never surrender either. Many of these cadets are the beneficiaries of the tax payers of this State, and we know that the people will not feel kindly towards an institution that will tol erate a condition in which many of the cadets were under the influence of whiskey. Cantey will stay at the citadel if every cadet leaves its walls, far better would it be for the future of the citadel if the institution only graduated Cantey a high toned con scientious gentlemen than for it to turn loose at the expense of the peo ple a mob of toughs. We regret exceedingly this most deplorable affair, because we have always felt kindly towards the citadel and have time and again defended it from the attacks of its enemies but we cannot for a moment think of ex cusing the conduct of "many of the cadets were under the influence of whiskey" last Monday night, and un dertook by mob violence to force a brave and honorable Clarendon boy to leave the institution which he en tered upon his merit. The President's message will be sent to Congress to-day and is said to contain about 7,003 words. He will recommend against the inde pendence of Cuba for the present, but he will recommend intervention until a government can be formed. There will be strong efforts to get Conaress to back up the President, as they should do. McKinley does not want to recognize the independ ence of a government which does not exist. We have every confidence in the President's ability to guide the ship of State into a haven of peace.

C., April 2, 1898, The closing exerclses of the school situated in St. Mark's township or School District No. 6, and known by the local name of Rehobath school, took place on Friday night March 25th and as I had the pleasure of be ing present, I will write a few dots on the subject. R. L. Jones, the young teacher under whose supervision and influ ence the school had progressed for the last school term, made it clearly understood that the exercises would be short as he was not aware of the fact that his school would not have an entertainment until a few days be fore. It is true that the exercises were not wearisomely long, but they were good, interesting and to the point. The entertainment was opened with a song by the school. This was followed by'recitations, declamations, musc etc. The music was fine; it was furnished by the "Santee string band," and we cac compliment the Santee hand as being among the best. After this Mr. Jones, the teacher, took the stand. The subject which he had chosen for the occasion, Education. He spoke about half an hour on the subject, touching on im portant points and delivering valua ble advice which wvas listened to with interest by all of those who were present. The entertainment was closed by music from band. It is true that this school is "down on Santee," but it is as good a loca tion for a school as can be found any where, and if the school is as good intellectually as the physical appear ances were on that night, there can be no doubt about its being a good school.

Educational Triumphs of the Reformers. A Just Criticism of the Movement's Most Important Achievements. Columbia, S. C., April 2.-It is gen erally agreed on all sides that the factional lines which have existed in South Carolina since 1890 will not be longer recognized by the people. Therefore we may consider that the faction heretofore known as "Reform" has served the purpose of the people. Without going into a general review of the work accomplished by this fac tion, which would only serve to eL cite the old feelings of antagonism, which had best slumber on, this cor respondent wishes to direct attention to one feature, that of educational purposes, which friend and foe must agree is the star transcendent in the diadem of Reform politics. Whatever may have been the short comings of that faction in other di rections, as viewed by its opponents, all men can unite in giving to that movement the credit of doing more for the education of the imases than any other one cause since the estab lishment of the free public school system. Therefore I invite you, one and all, to a love feast and we will to day review this work, wbich will stand forever as a monument to a movement which, being organized by men, had, like all morality, its virtues and its faults. South Carolina has today a system of public education, which in com parison with the rest of the coun try, considering our population and wealth, has not its equal in the United States. One very potent fac tor in the education of the masses is the newspaper, and newspapers in South Carolina have increased about thirty-five per cent. since 1890, due directly to the political excitement of the Reform movement. These pa pers have not been confined to either faction in politics, both factions see ing the need of a greater diffusion of knowledge and a political education of the voters. Many of the papers established during this political ex citement were short lived, but they all have tended to create a demand for enligbtenment and supplied that demand to greater or less extent. Doubtless the time honored law of nature, the survival of the fittest, has decided the fate of those that failed, and it may be remarked in passing, that no newspaper that honestly strives to serve God and its constitu ency in the field it occupies has aught to fear from a growth of in telligence among its supporters, but everything to hope, while those who attempt to use and abuse their privi leges for taking advantage of the people, can only succeed so long as ignorance enthralls them. There are today many white men of good sense, practical men and worthy citizens, who are thoughtful newspaper readers, who, in 1890, did not know one letter from another. Political ideas among the hard work ing farmers are no longer taken sec ond-band from the cross-roads gossip or the dictum of the neighborhood politician. They read for themselves and they think on what they read as they follow the plow, and thus, while tilling the soil of the earth, they are also tilling the soil of the brain, that will make a crop of perennial growth, and raise the standard of citizenship to the honor of South Carolina. I say, without fear of suiccessful contradiction, that no one of your neighboring States, that few, if any, of the States in the Union, have to day such a free thinking, independ ent and intelligent voting popula tion as has South Carolina, and much, very much, of this is due to the impetus given to education by the Reform movement of 1890. Now that these broad, general prin ciples have been considered, let us turn to a specific department, of the State government which has the edu cation of the masses for its charge, the office of the Superintendent of Education, and we may speak freely for Mr. Mayfield, the gentleman who has had charge of this office since 1890, has said positively that he will not offer for ie-election to the posi tion he has filled so creditably for eight years. The statistics of this department show that the total attendance in public schools in 1889 was 194,264; in 1898 the attendance was 258,153, which is an increase of about 30 per cent. A comparison of the teachers employed in the different grades will also be interesting. This shows: 1889-First grade, 3,211; second grade, 987; third grade, 1,050; total, 4,248. 1898-First grade, 2,617; second grade, 1,471; third grade, 867; total, 4,955 The interesting feature in this is the gratifying evidence of raising the standard of teachers in the public scools b..y en increase in the higher grades and a decrease in the lowest. Since no stream can rise higher than its source, we cannot expect educa tion to progress very rapidly under the fostering care of uneducated teachers. Nor is this all, for we find in Mr. Mayfield's report for 1898 a reply to strictures upon the Board of Educa tion for the "high grade questions submitted for examination of appli cants." After reviewing the results of examinations on these high grade questions, Mr. Mayfield says: "This showing indicates that the education of the children of the State is placed in the hands of compete~nt instructors, as a rule. * * * and that the pur pose of the board has been to provide w~ell qualified teachers for all the public schools." The teachers em ploed in the white schools in 1898 were: First grade, 2,031; second grade, 659; third grade, 238. Schoolhouses in 1889, 2,962; value, $373,850. Schoolhouses in 1898, 4,189; value, $761,418. The report of 1889 does not men 'tion school furniture and apparatus, chiefly because these items were in considerable at that time, and only the town schools had them. The re port of 1898 values furniture and ap paratus at $84,177. In 1889 there were few graded schools in the State; the report of 1898 shows 60, and every county in the State except one has either a good graded school or an academy. Eleven only are without graded schools, and one county, Newberry, has nine. This shows pointedly that the link between the high grade colleges and the public schools in being establish ed; that higher education is going to the people, and the patronage of the academies and colleges shows that the people are going to higher educa tion. It also establishes the truth of the oft-repeated assertion of the friends of higher education that a liberal support of these institutions would itself work out the education of the masses; that this light from the bill of knowledge would radiate even into the darkest corners of the State. In 1889 the length of the school session was 3.4 months; it is now about 4 months, and it is a significant fact that the county in which there is neither graded school nor academy, has the shortest school term, being only 2 months for both white and colored schools. It is also particularly gratifying to note that the attendance at the in stitutions for higher learning is greater this year than ever before in their history, except in one or two individual cases-in the case of the South Carolina College, the attend ance one year previous to 1890 was 212, and that was when the experi ment station and the mechanical de partments were in full bloom at that institution, now transferred to Clem son; and Furman University, when the Baptist Theological Seminary, now located at Louisville, Ky., was in Greenville. Clemson College has an average attendance of over 300, Winthrop of 400, the colered college of nearly 1,200. The South Carolina College, which in the early years of the prac tical struggle lost so severely, now has an attendance of nearly 200. All other colleges, male and female, re port an equally gratifying attendance, which is the best reply to the ques tion whether the public demand these colleges or not. Since 1890 there have been estab lished in South Carlina Clemson Col lege, Winthrop Normal and Indus trial College, the Colored State Col lege, as State institutions; the Chicora Female College and the Greenville College for Women at Greenville; Converse College at Spartanburg; and the South Carolina College for Women at Columbia, all liberally pat ronized. There are in South Caro lina today 98 academies, 61 for whites; 60 graded schools, 4 State colleges for whites and one for col ored; 20 private colleges for whites and 4 for colored. There are several matters due di rectly to the office of superintendent of education. One of these was the suggestion of an extension of the poll taxage; the exemption of school bonds from taxation; a provision for the expenses of laying off new school districts; an increase in the number 'of days allowed the county board for examination of applicants for teachers and scholarships; and a simplification of the law for the laying of special taxes in local districts, all of which resulted in very much greater good than one would think who does not study the matter closely. Again, Mr. Mayfield, has been suc cessful in his effort to reduce the cost of school books, and these tools of the trade now average 20 per cent. less than they did in 1890. He was also the means of increasing the term of scholarship in WVinthrop from one to two years, and it was mainly through his fight that the ideas of a Normal school for woman and an in dustrial school were united and the present school at Rock Hill is the re sult. The establishment of the Nor mal school at the South Carolina col lege is also an outgrowth of this same fight of Mr. Mayfield's for educated teachers. Probably the crowning glory of Mr. Mayfield's regime is the develop ment of the county institute, wvhich is now an established snccess, and its influence is felt throughout the state in the most beneficial ways. He has plans for development this year, which will still further increase the efficien v of the county normal institute. That school libraries have been collected in many conn ties is due gzreatly to his repeated efforts in this direction. As a means of bringing higher ed ucation to the masses, Mr. Mayfield has urged, and it is regarded by those in a position to express an opinion as to the granting of scholar ships to the most deservin~g pupils of the common schools. The devel opment of this idea is pregnant with the richest possibilities for the State and it will mark the dawning of the brightest era in South Carolina's glorious history. Ever alive to the interest of the children, the coming men and women of the State, the future voters, Mr. Mayfield has urged, in lieu of the establishmen of a reformatory, which just now is impractical, the passage of a law prohibiting children on the streets at night unless accompanied by an adult, which, though partaking somewhat of patriarchial government is a move in the right direction, and a means of prevention to save a cure. Ever jealous of his share of the money and watchful, Mr. Mayfield has been the means of saving no small sum of money to the State as well as securing all it was entitled to by law. Mr. Mayfield got his busi n'ess training as a bookkeeper in a wholesale and retail store Greenville, and this bookkeeper's instinct has led to the detection of no few errors in county returns. In one instance he discovered a shortage of $4,300, in another of $1,000. It was through his shrewd study of the balance sheets that the shortage in Union, the shortage of Keels in Sumter, the em bezzlement of Webber in Charleston and many other shortages, defalca tion and peculation were discovered. Mr. Mayfield has proved himself to be not only a good officer, but a thorough business man, and business methods are needed as much in State and county government as .well as the are in wholesale and retail stores. Good officers make good governmet. Now that we have finished our long love feast, we can all shake hands and agree that whether the Reform move ment failed in one or another direc tion, it certainly succeeded in a re form of education, and this success, like charity. will cover a multitude of failures in other directions. HannTEL M. Ann. e Kind You Have Always Bought War'Cry. Editor THE Tnis: War clouds have been hovering over our country for some weeks now. At times they would stubornly recede and now at this time from all ac counts they are getting thicker and thicker and looming up with all their blackness and ready as it appears to break forth with all their fury. On every side the talk is war, war. Yes, the talk is war and we, for one, with all sincerety of heart say "Let her roll."It is indeed gratifying to every true patriot all overAthis broad land of ours to know that the men high in authority in our government have at last awoke to a sense of their duty, and that they now begin to show a disposition to defend the national honor of our country, and to avenge tbe death of our countrymen so cruely murdered by brutal Spaniards treacherously blowing up our bale ship Maine on the night of the 15th of last February. We believe our government has dallied too long in making up its mind to bring the co wardly miscreants to an accountabili ty. They ought to push this watter to a conclusion by declaring war against Spain let consequences be what thev mav. The blood of our unfortunate, tuough gallant dead has been crying too long already from the foul mud of Havana harbor or retribution, and tne black winged vulture of Cub, has hovered over and held high carrival long enough to our shame and mortification over some of the bodies of our unfortunate and treacherously murdered dead. The cry and pleadings of the Cuban peo ple for independence and deliverence from the domination and oppressions of the meanest, the most treacherous and brutal people that the Creator of all things ever took time to bring in to existance has been too long un heeded. But we believe the day of Cuban deliverance draws near and we sincerely trust the day of retribu tive justice will in the meantime over take the cruel murderers of our un suspecting and too confiding coun trymen. Bally for the jingoes, our nation can depend on them. The dollar loyalist and the long faced, blubbering and peace pleading vali ants may now retire to back seats and we trust the jingoes wont be too hard on them loving money and peace better than they love national honor and manly resentment. If war does come, they should be given a place in the picture, and a chance to serve their country. They should immediately be enlisted in the squaw man's battalion, and every one label ed quaker. With all seriousness we believe the time for words and blus ter isjnow past, and the time for ac tion has arrived. Let the sordid gold go and let our country give the cruel and treacherous Spaniards war to the knife, and the knife to the hilt life for life, blood for blood is the sentiments and desire of your hum ble writer, George R. Jones. Davis April 2, 1898. "A word to the wvise lasufficient"' and a word from the wise should be sufficient, but you ask, who are the wise? Those who know.
