The past week has been one of tant alizing reports, one day a reported naval battle had taken place and the next day it is denied and so it goes. The Spanish fleet appears to be keep ing our men guessing. Today our side claims to have Cervera bottled up in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba with no possible chance of getting out-a repetition of Manila is confi dently expected, that is as far as the newspapers are concerned. Every thing is in such an uncertain condi tion that it gives the newspaper dreamers a fine opportunity to give vent to their skill of manufacturing battle stories which never take place. We are of the opinion that the Span iards have eluded the vigilance of the American's and will before long strike a severe blow in some unex pected quarter. Time has at last giv en us a story of the battle at Carden as, which we put considerable faith in. It will be i emembered when that battle took place, our side claimed to have killed several hundred of the enemy, with a loss of only five Amer icans, it turns out now that only nine Spaniards were killed, including two woman and three children. The despatches indicate this morning that the Piesident will make a second call for volunteers which if true, does not look as if we are carrying all be fore us. CONSISTEN~CY. Col. D. H. Tompkins, nominated by the Prohibition convention for Secre tary of State, has been withdrawn from the ticket by order of the Pro hibition Executive Committee, be cause he has expressed himself in favor of the dispensary system, and opposed to prohibition because he thinks it utterly impracticable at this time. We do not understand the taking off from the ticket the name of Tompkins, when Timmerman and Epton are in the same boat. Tim maerman has also expressed himself in favor of the dispensary system and we think Epton has too. Why was Tompkins nominated, in the first place? Was it because he was chair man of the Democratic party, and by being at the head of the machinery the Prohibition-politicians looked for good results? Was Tompkins taken off the ticket because he was not re elected State chairman? Was it because the Prohibition-politicians thought that Tompkins could be of no service to them after losing his grip on the lever of the party's ma chinery? Let us look at the action of the Prohibition Executive Com mittee and see if we are right in our conclusions that the candidates on the Prohibition ticket are knocked out of the Democratic primary. The Prohibition party, through their ex ecutors, have withdrawn from their ticket one of the nominees because he declined to endorse their platform, which is a declaration for Prohibi tion. They have not only withdrawn this regularly nominated candidate, but they have formally notified him of the fact that inasmuch as he does not endorse the platform of the Pro ' ibition party, that party will not give him their votes, and they proceeded to fill the place upon their ticket wvith another name. This was the proper course for the Prohibition party to pursue, it was their only consistent course, and by taking this proper course they have given the Demo cratic committee a cue for action. The Democratie Executive Commit tee must be consistent also and for mally notify the Prohibition party that unless they endorse the platforrm as enuinciated by the Democracy of South Carolina, they cannot be per mitted to participate in the prima ries to be held under the auspices of the Democratic Executive Commit tee. The action of the Democratic party has placed the Prohibitionists into a distinct and separate party and the Prohibitionists have no more righ tin the participation of the Dem ocratic primaries than would the Re publican party have. This is so clear that the Prohibitionists have recog nized it, atnd they have cleared their ship for action by taking off those who favor the Democratic platform. This is consistency, and they will force the Democracy to be just as onstent ('ON VENTIO. The Democratic party in conven tion assembled has spoken and its voiec was clearly in favor of the Dis pensary law, the convention was one of the most representative bodies that has assembled in Columbia in many a year; throughout the entire pro ceedings there was a marked absence of any factional spirit, and with only one trivial exception not the slightest reference was made to factions. In the convention were many who, in davs before the existence of factions were familiar faces in such bodies; everything went on harmoniously, in fact, there was every sign of a reunit ed Democracy. The convention ad opted a platform of principles as is the custom of all political parties, and one of the planks in that plat form is a declaration in favor of the Dispensary system. This plank was fought with the prohibition strength of the convention, aided by the pre sence of candidates on the prohibition ticket and the chairman of that par tv's Executive Committee, and not withstanding this influence the Dis pensary declaration was overwheim ingly carried. The question is now, what is the status of the Prohibitionists. The Democratic platform declares for the Dispensary, can those who have been nominated by the prohibition party go into a Democratic primary, antag onizing the platform of the Demo cratic party? In our opinion no man or set of men have a right to partici pate in a party election unless they subscribe to the tenets of that party. The platform of the Democratic par tv of the nation declares for silver, will anyone'contend that a believer in the gold-standard would have a standing among the believers of free silver. The prohibitionists have put forward a ticket subject to the action of the Democratic party, we take that to mean, they are pledged to submit to any action the party might take. The party has now taken action and if the Prohibitionists are true Dem ocrats they will abandon their pre sent pt.rpose of going into the pri mary with a platforrm in antagonism to the Democratic platform. The coming primary is under the aus pices of the Democracy as now or ganized and no one has a rigL .o ccme into its council who refuse to submit to the will of the majority and by the action of the convention the prohibition platform together with its already nominated candidates are wiped out of political existance as long as the party's declaration re mains as at present. Then t.gain, we do not see how the nomir~ees of that party can go into our primary at all, if they have any regard for their pledges, because they are by the constitution, required to make oath that they are not the can didates of any faction either privately or publicly expressed. They are candidates of a public convention and they were publicly nominated upon a party platform. The Democratic party clearly forbids this, and it was done to put a stop to these snap judgment conventions and to fac tionism. The prohibition candidate, nominated by that convention cannot as a conscientious man, and a man fit to be trusted, take the pledge re quired by the Democratic party. ELLERtBE'S FRIENDS IN THlE 3M. JO0RITY. The political opponents are hard pressed for capital when they endeav or to make political capital out of the incident of the committee oni plat form and resolutions side-tracking the resolution endorsing the admin istration. It is the custom of all political parties to endorse the admin isration in power when the adminis tration is made up of their party, and when it was suggested that a Democratic convention give comnpli mentary expression of the adminis tration in power, objection was raised on the ground that such an expres sion would not be fair to candidates seeking State offces. The very men wh-> made these objections disclaimed any intention of throwing opposition in the way of any member of the present administration, but only ob jected so that all candidates could go into our primary on equal terms. The friends of Governor Ellerbe were largely in the majority in the con vention, and they could have, had they been .so disposed, carried the resolution endorsing his administra tion, but they did not insist upon it, in the committee and virtually agreed not to present the resolution in the convention because it was after all, an empty compliment with no bind ing force. We know it to .be a fact that some of Ellerbe's warmest sup porters were among those who saw no use to give the opponents of the Governor an opportunity to cry "snap-judg ment" and they espressed a willingness to not have the endors ing resolution presented at all. The State Executive Committee meets in Columbia next Thursday night, June 2d, and at that meeting the Prohibitionists will learn where they are at. Admiral Montejo the Spanish com mander at Manila is now, so the des patches say, to be court-martialed. This ought not be, no man who hs been murdered while fleeing from an angry mob should undergo further unishment. The Spanish fleet appears to be like the Irishman's flea. But where is the Oregon? The battleship Oregon about which there has been so much anxiety has, according to the press despatches touched at more r.ints in the given time than any vessel afloat, and al though sLe has been iighted so often, her movements are clouded in mis terv to such an extent that we some times wonder if she is not one of the "pbantom ships that pass in the Uight. Gov. Ellerbe has appointed Maj. James M. Eason Auditor for Char leston county. This is a most excellent appointment; it is a recognition of business qualification to conduct a business office. Mr. Eason has a host of friends over the State who are pleas ed at his merits being recognized. Mr. Eason was for a number of years the head of the well known firm Shep herd Supply Company and it is plain ly seen that by the selection of such a man the Governor was not seeking political advantage, but the best in terests of the taxpayers of Charleston county. We regret our inability to print Senator McLauriu's speech delivered in the Senate last Thursday. The Record did not reach us in time but we will do our best to give it to our readers next week. Our Senator sounded a warring to his collegues, and took the ground that the pres ent war could have been avoided by proper action two years ago. He is willing to provide sufficient means to carry on the war, but he wants the owners of bonds and stocks,the money lenders and that class to bear the ex pense. He is opposed to a tas on articles of consumption. His speech created a sensation and the newspa pers throughout the Union are mak ing extracts from it. It will be remembered that last year we did not support Hon. James Norton for Congress, and our prin cipal objection was that he was hold ing ou to a high office while seeking another. Mr. Norton succeeded in convincing the voters of this district that he was the proper man to fill the unexpired term, then vacant. To make a canvass of the district is ex pensive and unless it can be shown that he has failed to perform his du ties in the short time he has been in Congress, we think as an act of jus tice and right he should be allowed to enter the full term without oppo sition. Congressman Norton has not had time to do much for his constit uents, but we can say that, in the short time he has been in Washing ton, he has eaten no idle bread and he has done as much work as some Congressmen that have been there for years. We cannot with any de gree of conscience give opposition to Congressman Norton, not even if a personal friend comes into the race, and we believe the people of Claren don, knowing their love of fairness will frown down any opposition for the full term. The News and Courier, in writing about the State convention, appears gratified at the "dismal failure" of the "one effort" that "was made to dis turb the general harmony of the pro ceedings by an appeal to factional feeling." It was indeed gratifying to all of us that any effort "to appeal to factional feeling" was put down, not, however, by those who feared the Charleston Conservatives "are weak ening," and those who wanted "to see Charleston send a solid anti-Till man delegation," but it was promptly ut down by those who are sincere in wvanting to keep the Democratic party united. Had the News and Courier administered a rebuke to the politicians of that city who had no better sense than to seud a delega tion to Columbia hampere-l with aucalled for utterances, it would have performed a duty it owed the Dem ocracy of South Carolina; but in stead, by its silence, endorsed the wild and bigoted sentiment expressed in Charleston's convention to "send a solid anti-Tiliman delegation" to the State convention. Its expression of gratification at the "dismal failure" of any attempt to inject factionalism comes with poor grace arnd inconsist ency. Why did not the News'and Courier condemn the action of the Charleston convention? Not having done so, it should now take the posi tion of the little boy the calf ran over. lDearness Cannot Be Cured by loedt a1plcations. as they cannot reach te diseased portion of the ear.

(From ouir regular Correspondent.) Washington, D. C., May 21.-The war drags. There is but little pros pect now that our fleet will engage I the Spanish fleet for sometime; and the invasion of Cuba, as well as the expedition to the Philippines, is lag gard. At this rate, the war will last forever: and that prospect can please only those who want to suck Uncle Saw's blood "in extremis." But there are some people who are so unpatriotic that they desire such a state o: things. They hail with de light this hesitating, dilly-dally-delav policy of the Administration; for the more delay there is, the longer the 3 war will last; and the longer the war lasts, the more it will cost Uncle Sam; and the more it cost Uncle Sam, the more money they will make out its prosecution-but such malevolence and greed are crimes against the best government on earth. War is too expensive to be prolonged unneces sarily: and the present contest is costing Uncle Sam about $1,000,000 a day. If it is prolonged one year, it will cost him $379,192,600, as fol lows: National defense appro priation (already made). $50,000,000 Army fortifications and Navy Act of May 4..... 35,700,000 Naval increase over peace expenses.............. 23,100,000 Naval deficiencies, on ac count of war............ 22,275,000 Naval establishment (in crease over peace re quirements) . ....... ... 75,000,000 Naval auxiliary bill (ap propriated)............. 4,000,000 Army increase, on aec't of war................ ..... 150,000,000 Immune and enginr bills. 15,000,000 Fortifications and miscel laneous................. 4,117,000 1 To this add the regular ex penses of the governm't for the fiscal year 1899 (estimated and appro priated) ......... ...... 480,849,850 And we have a grand to tal (of revenue to be raised during the year for civil and military ex penses) of just.......... 860,042,450 But the regular receipts (estimated) during that time from the laws al ready in force will am't to only.................. 482,874,647 Which will leave a defi ciency for the first year of fully. ..........~.... 377,167,803 Now, Congress is at work on a war revenue bill (now the unfinished bus iness of the Senate); but the bill, as it passed the House, purports to raise only $100,000,000; and, as it was amended by the Senate Commit tee on finance and rep3rted back to that body, it promises only an addi tional $50,000,000-making $150,000, 000 in all, even if it passes both Houses and becomes a law just as it was reported back to the Senate. But that is not at all likely, since* the two Houses are far apart not only as to the rates of taxes to be assessed, but even as to the very theory and subjects of that taxation-the Repub licans wanting the tax placed upon consumption, while the opposition wants it placed upon property-values. Granting, however, that the bill will become law as it stands in the Senate there will still be a deficiency, during~ the first year, of $127,167,803--to be raised by the issuance of Govern ment bonds; for, although the Dem ocrats, Silver Republicans and Popu lists in the Senate may be able to pre-r vent the authorization of any further bond issue, they cannot prevent bonds from being issued. There is an old law still in force under which the Secretary of the Treasury can is sue bonds to replenish the gold re serve whenever it happens to fall be low the the $100,000,000 mark; and the Hannas, Morgans, Belmonts and other money ghouls do not intend to be deprived of this chance to suck Uncle Sam's blood. They are bound to have the bonds and they are sure to get them, for the war revenue bill is going to fall short of providing thet necessary revenue, and MIr. Gage (their plutocratic Secretary of the Treasury)is even now reducing the stock of gold on hand so that it will be an easy thing for the blood-suck ers to make a raid upon the Treasury and force the bonds out. $42,4SS, 427 of revenue can be gained by coin ine the seigniorage on the 109,355,-t 514 ounces of silver bullion (purchas ed under the recent Sherman law and) still in the Treasury, uncoined, on Mlay 13, instant. It cost only $98, 874,662, and has a coinage-value off $:141,363,0S9; but these blood-suck ers will not let it be coined. for they would rathei have that amount in bonds.
