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.

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

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.

would hasten to do so.

This is a joint resolution, Mr.
Speaker, for the relief of the starv

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

taste of any human flesh, but that of
