Many are the, evil results of war, and prominent among those that are liable to grow out of our present struggle with Spain is the tendency towards territorial expansion, or, to speak more plainly, land-grabbing. The United States has enjoyed a long period of peace with other nations until the present Spanish war, and while it is the duty of our men in au thority to push the war to a success ful termination as rapidly as possible, it is also their duty to avoid the adoption of any policy for future complications. To all appearances there can be but one result of the present conflict with Spain, and that will be the tak ing of all her foreign possessions. We have already taken the Ladone Islands, the Phillippine Islands are ours as soon as Dewey sees fit to take them, and that Cuba and Porto Rico will fall into our hands is prac tically certain. Then the question arises, what will we do with them? We have just annexed the Hawaiian Islands, but that was alight. While it is a fact that the rightful dynasty was overthrown a few years ago by what might be termed a conspiracy, and that made up principally of American capitalists, yet it is also a fact that when Hawaii knocked at our doors for admittance she did so as an independent republic, just as Texas did nearly fifty years ago. It was good policy, perhaps, to annex Hawaii, as she will be of untold value to our government as a coaling sta tion, and she does not bear such close proximity to any other possessions as to render foreign* c omplications probable. But not so with the Phil lippines. They are situated close to many islands of many other posses sions, and the people of none of them being of the highest order, frequent troubles cannot be said to be im probable. If the 'United States takes thre Phillippines she had best sell them to Great Britain or some other country having possessions in those waters,and use the proceeds to lessen the war debt of indemnity which will be placed upon poor misruled and bleeding Spain. Then what is the situation 'presented as to Cuba and Porto Rico? We started into this war upon the high plane of hu manity, to free Cuba and turn the island over to her people so that they might have home government. Will the United States do that, or will she hold the island herself and annex her as a State or a territory? The char acter of the people of Cuba is well known. Insurrections and uprisings among them are common. Such things are inherent, hereditary among the race, and it matters not what disposition we make of the is land when we take it, unless we sell it outright to some other country, we will always have to exercise a sort ci protectorate over the people and make them behave themselves when they become unruly. We are making much history now. Much has been made during the past three months, and great destinies de pend upon the acts of those who are running our affairs and what they dc during the next few months. We believe that the affairs of our government have been well conduc ted so far in this struggle, but never did we need more careful and pru dent wisdom than now, lest we devel op a policy for greedy land grabbing, and which will soon lead us to a con dition glittering with the possibility of frequent hostilities. The State Press Association in se lecting the editc~ of THE TMS' as onE of the delegates to the National Press Association, which meets in Denver Colorado in company with such gen tiemen as Colonel Hoyt of the Moun taineer, Rev. A. S. J. Thomas of the Baptist Courier, Lieutenant Gover nor M. B. McSweeney, of the Hamp ton Guardian, has so highly honored us, that we cannot refrain from giving grateful expression for the high com pliment paid us. This is an honoj that editors of ambition strive for and but few attain; the National Press Association will be composec of representatives from every State in the Union and brain ;:nd culture it is not our intention to misrepr' sent anybody, it matters not who it Lnd we wish to make a correction as a part of our editorial last week onCs didate R. B. Watson with reference his entertainment here. Our inforn Ion was, and it came from Candida Schumpert, Epton and Mr. E. Hodge, a member of the County Ex ecutive Committee, that Col. Watson invited them to his room before dark und that he boasted on having the best room in the house. We te garded the information so reliable that we did not question its correct fnoss, but we understand that Col. Watson id have some difficulty in securing a room and that he was cor rect in the statement that he slept in the parlor. We see now how the mistake happenee. A party of gen tlemen had secured a certain front room and to joke his companic-s, Col. Watson took Messrs. Schumpert and Epton to this room and bragged upon having secured it, when the Ifact is, ho had not obtained a room at all. Before leaving the hotel one of tbe ladies promised to prepare a room for him and he went out for a walk. Returning later, he saw a sister of the lady that promised him a room, but who knew nothing about it, and in answer to Col. Watson's question she told him all the rooms were engaged. This put Col. Wat son out on the hunt again, and when' he returned again a bed was pre pared for him in the parlor, which is often done, even at the largest hotels, upon extra occasions. We refer to the matter simply to do justice where it is due. It is not our purpose to unjustly injure the chances of any candidate for Governor, but some one who is near to Col. George D. Tillman ought to advise with the old gentleman and not allow him to speak only when his regular time comes. Col. Tillman has been a statesman and a great honor to South Carolina, but that his day of greatness is over and that he is away on the shady side of life can not be denied. At the Florence cam paign meeting Col. Tillman asked Governor Ellerbe to remain after the meeting closed, as he Col. Tillman, wanted to speak and pay his respects to the Governor. The Governor grat ified him, and for about a half hour Col. Tillman spoke, indulging in per sonalities and frequently losing his temper. Governor Ellerbe znsAo re auent replies and treated tue matter laughingly and with good nature. It is a pity now that Col. Tillnman, who has been a tower of strength, should do anything in the childishness of his declining years to impair his former usefuluess.

Washington, D. C., July 9.-Both houses adjourned sine die at 2 o'clock p. m. yesterday, after having appro priated, this session, $892,527,991.10 of the people's money-$520,00,000 of which was for war purposes. The House adjourned in excellent humor -singing patriotic songs and giving three cheers for McKinley, Reed, Scley, Gen. Joe Wheeler and for the army and navy. The Senate ad journed with Senator Morgan strug gling for consideration of the Nica ragua Canal bill. After the Hawa iian resolution was passed by the Senate (by a two-thirds majority), the President promptly approved it and named Senators S. M. Cullom of Illi nois and John T. Morgan of Ala bama, with Representative R. R. Hitt of Illinois as commissioners on the part of the United States to proceed to Honolulu and appoint President Sanford B. Dole and Chief Justiee Frear of the Hawaiian Republic as co-commissioners on the part of the Sandwich Islands to perfect and fin ally arrange the terms and conditions of annexation. The commissioners will start on their mission at once. It has leaked out here that there is possibly a political side to the appar ent slights afforded Commodore Scley. He was Captain Sampson's senior officer when the war broke out, being a commodore, while Samp son was only a captain; but, as Schiv was a Democrat and Sampson a Republican, Sampson was rushed ahead of Sc~ey, made acting real ad miral and pl:,ced in charge of the North Atlantic Sqadron. And some of Schley's friends go so far as to mn timate that Sampson's conduct in withholding due credit to Schley for his part in the capture of Admiral Cervera and the capture of his fleet was due to his knowledge of the fact that the administration did not want any emoratto win any considera ble credit in the war. If that be true, Admiral Dewey stole a rich march on the administration, for it is pretty well understood in official circles here that Dewey is a Democrat. It is also stated upon good authority that the reason why Gen. Shafter was placed in command of the army of invasion of Cuba is found in the fact that Shafter is a Michigan Republican, like the Secretary of War, and it was not intended that any- Southern Dem ocrat, like Fitzhugh Lee, should be allowed 'an opportunity to become a popular idol--the military hero of the h ourBuatthere can be but one opin inaong all ricghtminded men, if erations have had any in n the conduct of the ad z, and that is one of sn tempt. It is generally ing thinking men that 3Ic the smallest and weakest that ever occupied the if these rumors are true, rv does not yet know how utterly insignificant he is. Anv President who would seek to aciieve purely party ends at such an hour and in such a way is too utterly unworthy to be respected eves while he holds such an exalted position. The people should always respect the office of President of the United States: but they may separate the of fice and the person who occupies the position, when the man is so shame lessly and ingloriously too small to till the nlace rendered illustrious by such men as Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln. But MIcKinley is really pitiable, he is not President; Hanna is the real President, and Mc Kinley is the figure-head. He is even too small to break loose from the gang of plunderers who have been muking his administration a reproach to America and the English-speaking nations of the earth. When any one calls upon him relative to being ap pointed to any important place, he hears them patiently through, and then, after assuring them that he is favorably impressed, abruptly asks, "but have you seen Hanna?" If the answer be in the negative, he advises the applicant to "see Hanna." If any reader doubts this story, just let him take the trouble to investigate it. The applicants who can and probably will testify to its truth are legion especially in the Southern States. McKinley is waiting for Spain to sue for peace, when he should go ahead and make it so hot for her that she would hasten to do so. Hackin:: Cough Cured.

This is a joint resolution, Mr. Speaker, for the relief of the starv ing inhabitants of the interior of Mindanao. The introduction of mod ern fire arms has caused the virtual extinction of the Visava tribe on which my unfortunate constituency chiefly depended for meat. Statis tics gathered in 1897 showed that the supply of Visayas at that time in owns and villages, to say nothing of scattered herds,was sufficient to keep us amuply supplied with human food for 110 years. Since our people were supplied with repeating rifles, how ever, and the Visayas developed a tendency to vote the opposition tick et we have found it impossible tc prevent indiscriminate slaughter for purposes of sport. The supply is now exhausted, I know of instances within my own knowledge, Mr. Speaker, of families reared in the -ap of luxury who never knew the taste of any human flesh, but that of the young'est and tenderest culled Visavas wh~o are today reduced tc the 'degrading necessity of feeding on the meat of animals. This joint resolution provides for the annual exportation to the island of Minda nao of negro and Chinese immigrants sufficient for food purposes Mr. Wun Lung of Pangasinan-Mr. Speaker, I protest The Speaker-Does the gentleman from Palawan (Mr. Toyabas) yield?

QUESTION 0OF PRITILEGE. Mr. Mentrida of Bohol-Mr. Speak er, I rise to a question of personal privilege. The Speaker-The gentleman will state his question of privilege. Mr. Mentrida-It is my privilege tc inform this house that the baboon faced dog who desecrated so muel' this house as representative from the most infamous Island of the Babu yanes (great laughter) having bolted the party caucus and refused to vote for the rivers and harbors bill (H. B. INo. 1,928,342) providing for harbor! and inland navigation on each one Iof our glorious and fertile 1,400 isl Iands, I this morning had him led out on the grounds in rear of the white house and shot. (Laughter and ap plause on the Republican side). The Speaker-Do I understand th( gentleman to move that the gentle 1man from Babuyanes be excused from further attendance on the ses sions of this house-Y Mr. Mentrida-That is right. The house without division voted to excuse the gentleman from Babu Ivanes. The remainder of the remarks of Mr. Toyabas will appear hereafter the Pamnpango stenographer having left the house to attend an uprising. NEw BILLs INTRODUCED.

A Hundred Thousand Screws In a Thimme. The smallest screws ever made arc used in the manufacture of the minia ture watches which are sometimes fittd in rings, shirt studs, bracelets, They are the next thing to being invisiblo to the naked eye, looking like minute grains of sand. With a good glass, how ever, it may be plainly seen that each is a perfect screw, having a number of threads equal to 1,260 to the inch. Theso tiny screws are four one-thousandths of an inch in diameter and seven one-thou sandths of an inch in length. It is esti mated that a lady's thimble of average size would hold 100,000 of them. No attempt is ever made to count theso "tiny triumphs of mechanieal ingenu ity" other than to get a basis for esti mation.

The Schoolboy r.nd the Emperor. The organ of the schoolmasters, The Allgemeine Deutsche Lehrerzeitung, re lates an episode of Kaiser Wilhelm's visit to Wiesbaden. When he was rid ing along the Taunus strasse at the head of his suit on Monday, a small boy ran after him and cried out as he frantic ally waved his cap, "Herr Kaiser, Herr Kaiser, get us a holiday tomorrow!" The emperor laughed, and, with a friendly wink to the lad, called out, "We shall manage it." Accordingly on the next day all the lads and lasses of the town were informed that the day was "schulfrei," and wherever the kaiser appeared he was naturally greet ed as a liberator, with the full power of youthful lans.
