POLITICAL MICROBES AT WORK.
The opposition to Colonel Neal has
made a great mistake in getting E.
C. Allen, a discharged employee of
the State penitentiary, to make an at
tack upon Colonel Neal. Instead of
the charges made by Allen injuring
Neal, the effect should.be the reverse,
because there is nothing in Allen's
charges but the same old stuff that
Willoughby attempted to use as polit
ical capital in '96, and which was thor
oughly investigated by a court of in
quiry where this same Allen testified.
From his testimony and the admis
sions of the prosecutor Willoughby,
the committee was forced to make a
report which should appeal to every
man's sense of justice and give Col
onel Neal that credit which a thor
ough investigation of the books and
the institution entitle him. Those
who remember the pitiful exhibition
this man Allen made of himself dur
ing that investigation, could not help
seeing the animus which was actu
ating him at the time, and further,
many believe it was an attempt at
blackmail.
Colonel Neal has never shirked an
investigation, and whenever any crit
icism of his official acts reached his
ears, he was the first to ask for an in
vestigation. It is plain that the re
vamping of the Willoughby charges
by Allen just at this time is for the
purpose of helping the opposition to
Neal, who, like all men in public of
fice, will have opponents; if for no
other reason, the office pays a good
salary. But without regarding the re
sult of the election, we cannot believe
such attacks upon the character of a
faithful official and a gentleman, will
amount to anything when made by a
man discharged from employment for
serious cause. We believe Colonel
Neal will be his own successor, as he
should be, if merit and a faithful per
formance of duty is to be considered.
The only charge having a semblance
of truth that we have heard brought
against Neal, is that he is too active
in politics for his friends, and this was
never said until he was entrusted with
J.L. McLaurin's Senatorial campaign,
which, everybody knows, resulted suc
cessfully. This was an unpardonable
sin with that class of politicians op
posed to McLaurin, and ever since,
they have been scheming, wire-pull
ing and manipuls.ting to compass his
defeat. Neal could today, kick the
bottom out of his opposition and have
most of his opponents retired, if he
will give his word to certain political
microbes that he will give them his ac
tive support in the next election; they
know Neal's word is as good as his
bond, and a promise from him is a
certainty. But Colonel Neal will not
sell his manhood for office, and he
would rather have ths opposition dou
bled than make promises wbich would
mean nothing more 0o' less, than a
shackling of himself to do the bidding
of men whose career in public life, has
not brought credit to themselves or
the State.
The penitentiary is an institutie'
requiring a its head a man of busi
ness ability, a man with a numane
heart, and a disciplinarian. In Col
onel Neal, the records show, after sev
eral careful investigations a manage
ment, second to no institution in the
State. There have been great im
provements and additional property
purchased without an appropriation;
on the other hand,he has made money
aid turned it into the State treasury.
The healthy condition of the convicts
show the watchful care he has been
keeping over the sanitary arrange
ments and the reduced mortality, is
convincing proof of his humane care
for the unfortunates under his charge.
Besides his keeping the convicts clean
and healthy, the record of profits
turned into the treasury show he has
accomplished more work than any of
his predecessors. As a disciplinarian
we doubt if Colonel Neal has a su
perior in the State; he is kind but
positive, and any infractions upon the
rles is immediately handled. He
is by nature a leader of men, and the
force under him, while they do not
fear him, have such a high personal
regard that all of them aid him ir
maintaining the strict discipline sc
necessary at such a vast institution.
We say that we believe Colone:
Neal will be his own suseessor, be
cause we have an abiding faith ini the
sembly; we know if the election was
left to the people, he would go
through with an overwhelming ma
jority. But when politicians com
bine as is evident in this contest, and
candidates from various sections are
brought out, there is no telling
whether the attempt to weaken Neal
on the first ballot will succeed or not.
In some instances, where Neal would
get solid delegations, the effort to
thwart him has been made by bring
ing out a candidate from the coun
ties of those delegations, hoping
thereby to make county pride vote
for the home man, and thus reduce
the Neal vote. If Neal is defeated it
will be done b- such tactics, and not
because he does not merit a retention
in office. His defeat will mean that the
sDoils of office is more sacred than
faithful service, and that polifical
debts are to be paid tc politicians, at
the expense of the people.
THE PHILIPPINES.
No new light has been shed upon
the Philippine situation by any ad
vices received at the War Depart
ment recently, and the greatest un
easiness continues to prevail in Ad
ministration circles over the attitude
of the insurgents, although hope is
entertained that the conservative pol
icy of this Government will prevent a
conflict between our troops; and the
insurgents at either Manila or Iloilo.
Gen. ' Miller is supposed to have land
ed his troops at or near Iloiln with
out a clash. Although it is not known
here whether he will occupy the forts
now held by the Filipinos or not, it
is believed, in view of the exceeding
ly conservative instructions sent to
Gen. Otis, that Gen. Miller will com
municate with Manila before making
any attempt to land his troops. Every
honorable expedient is being resort
ed to by the Administration to pre
vent bloodshed, but it is not believed
that the intention is to carry this con
servative policy so far as to make it
appear to the insurgents that they
can hold the forts at Iloilo as long as
they make a show of resisting by
force any advances made by our
troops. It is realized that such ex
treme conservatism would put the
United States in a ridiculous attitude
before the whole world; and yet this
conservative policy will be pursued
as far as it can be pursued honorably
by way of averting a hostile conflict
between our soldiers and our newly
acquired denizens in the far-away ar
chipelago.
It is reported that Gen. Otis will
call upon Aguinaldo to submit and
lay down his arms; and that, if the
wily insurgent chief refuses or neg
lects to do so, actis measures will
be taken to subdue him and his fol
lowers by force. It is not clear that
such would not be the best policy,
after all It does not pay to tempor
ize with such people; they must be
brought to their senses by force, if at
all; besides, in this case, our conser
vatism is being minconstrued into
fear, on our part, to resort to more
drastic measures. Aguinaldo enter
tains great ideas as to his strength,
wisdom and superb leadership. He
seriously hopes to achieve recogni
tion from the United States of an in
dependent insurgent government over
there under his dictatorship. To this
end, he has envoys enroute to the
United States now. He really hopes
to get such recognition; and, so long
as such great ideas find harbor in his
head, it is idle to suppose that he will
quietly submit to our domination
over the Filipinos or think of laying
down his arms without a desperate
confict.
The Senate Saturday .ssed Sena
tor Hoar's resolution calling upon the
President for all official correspond
ence that passed between the State
department and the peace commis
sion duriug the latter's sittings at
Paris. The instructions given our
commissioners and both sides of the
oficial'carrespondence are called for,
although the language of the resolu
tion is not mandatory; the President
is not bound to send them, if he
deems such policy incompatible with
public interest. Of course this com
patibility clause completely emascu
lates th~e whole resolution; for if the
President sees anything in either his
instructions or in the correspondence
which he does not want to have made
public, it becomes at once incompat
ible with the public interest to lay
it before the Senate; and yet each
administration Senator felt called
upon to oppose the passage of the
resolution.
The ex-Confederates are flooding
Congress with protests against the
passage of Senator Butler's bill pro
posing a pension for them out of the
national treasury. The spectacle pre
sents an object lesson to* the whole
world-to the infinite credit, dignity
and honor of those concerned. The
House Saturday struck a blow at civil
service by striking out the appropria
tion for the commission, but tbe
omission will not stand.

Senator Tillman is strongly oppos
ed to the administration's expansion
policy, and when the ratitication trea
tv gets to the Senate some heavy or
atorical artillery will be brought into
action. Several eminent Republicans
are also strongly opposed to the land
grabbing policy and they will join
with the Democratie opposition to
bring about a modification.
The bill to pension Confederate
soldiers proposed by '.iarion Butler,
the Populist Senator from North
Carolina, is regarded as a trick-salve
to allay the feeling against the Sena
tor in his home State, and the propo
sition is meeting with objetrions fromLn)
members of the CoLfederate camps;
the latest is from the L. O'B. Branch
camp of Confederate Veterans of Ral
eigh, N. C., in which they protest
against the bill, saying, "We hereby
enter our protest against said bill as
degrading and demoralizing in its
tendency and suggest to the honor.
able Senator that he use his efforts to
purge the pension rolls of the bum
mers and bounty jumpers of the Fed
eral army and we will thank him for
same." The proposition to pension
Confederate soldiers does not stand a
possible chance of success and Sena
tor Butler knew it when he made it.
He simply endeavored to play a po
litical game and "busted" in the
draw of the card.
The situation in the Philippines is
still problematic, and time alone will
tell what the final outcome will be.
The Filipinos determined to make a
stand for Independence and they
claim to have the American profuise
of co-operation to attain their Inde
pendence. Agrimaldo, the President
of the Filipinos, protests against any
recognition of the sovereignty of the
United States in the Philippines, and
claims that Uncle Sam did recognize
the belligerency of his people when he
saluted the Philippine flag and by
other acts. Many public thinkers
look upon the situation as seriously
menacing, and while they all agree
that in the event of wn, the United
States will succeed, not however,
without much loss of life and treasure
will the taking of these islands so far
away be wortu the cost. What does
Uncle Sam want with themn anyway?
If the Filipinos have been s'ruggling
to throw off the Spanish yoke, they
are as much entitled to their Inde
pendence as the Cubans, and our
government has given its word to
turn Cuba over as soon as a "stable
government" can be accomplished.
Bryan, in his Chicago speech last Sat
urday,hits the nail square on the head
when he said, "Shame upon a logic
which locks up the petty offender and
enthrones grand larceny." If it is
theft to steal Cuba, it is a greater
theft to steal the Philippines.
Washington Letter.
(From or~r Regular Correspondent )
Washington, Jan. 6, 1899.-Mr.
McKinley is still playing foxey on
the Philippine question, and he will
prbal keep it up until the Senate
ratifies the treaty. The message he
sent with the treaty of peace to the
Senate was purely formal, and might
have been put in four words, "here is
the treaty." Although the adminis
tration must be in possession of much
relating to the present critical rela
tions between our troops and the
Philippine insurgents which the Sen
ate, and the people, would like to
know. Not a word received from
Gen. Otis by the administration since
the insurgents in possession of Iloilo
virtually defied Gen. Miller and his
troops, who had been sent by Gen.
Otis to take possession of the town,
has been made public, except that
reinforcemnts had been sent to Gen.
Miller. Although the news fromi
Manila is carefully censored it has
made it plain that the situation is
alarming and that a fight between
the insurgents and our troops is
among the daily probabilities. Should
'the natives start a revolution against
our authority, it would unidoubtedly
result in increasing the sentiment
against our keeping the Philippines;
that may account for bo much official
reticence.
The treaty of peace was taken up
today by the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations, and the expecta
tion is that it will be reported to the
senate sometime next week. Opin
ion differs as to how soon a vote will
be reached. In fact, there will be
nothing tangible upon which to base
an opinion until the opponents of the
treaty indicate their intentions. It is
claimed that '70 Senators have prom
ised to vote for ratification. Even if
that claim be correct, enough Sena
tors would be left against the treaty
to prevent, if they are so disposed,
its being voted upon at this session,
as the appropriation bills, not one of
which has yet been passed by the
Senate, the Nicarauga Canal bill and
other measures will all be~ pressing
for action, with the probability that
an extra session will be necessary
growing stronger every day.
Jerry Simpson was in his seat when
Conress reassembled, for the first
Itime this session. He is the same old
Jerry; defeat hasn't soured him at all.
IHe says he is still in politics and ex
pee t o be as long as he lives. He
is st rougly opposed to the large stand
ing army provided for by the .Hull
bill, and will be heard from before
the hill is jammz~ed through the
Hose.
Southbern me-n who come to Wash
itoit these days nearly all have
som'ething' to saiy about the proposi
Fions to admluit Confederate veterans
t ''' rin-ntment Soldiers' Homes and
the poio rol, and the substance of
the opiuous of nine-tenths of them is
containedl in the following remarks,
made by Mr. A. D. McClure, of Ga.:
"If any one supposes that the South
ern people have the remotest idea
that the veterans of the Confederate
Army or their friends expect pensions
ception into the Soldiers' Homes, a
grievously uistaken notion is cher
ished. Our people are not dreaming
of any such idea, for they are too
sena.ible to entertain any proposition
so utterly romantic, not to say ab
surd. The old Johnnies are doing
first-rate without any bounty from
Washington. Our pension list is
aklready bio. enough, and there is no
npeI for turther burdens. The whole
idta is Quixitic and t be very first to
denounce it would be the proposed
bei:eficiaries."
Whether the public gets a chance
to se(- the report of the army board
o survey, whieb is now secretly in
vestigating the charge of Gen. Miles,
that the beef furnished our soldiers
in Cuba and Porto Rico was "em
bahuel" with chemicals, which ren
dered it unfit to eat and dangerous
to healtb, will depend entirely upon
wiat. iecretary Alger says after the
report has been subtitted to him,
an4 s what he will say will depeid up
on ',he unture of the report. If it be
against Miles, it will be published us
widely as possible; if it confirm his
charges, it will be pigeon-holed for
keeps. The beef trust is working
hard to convince the board that they
used no chemicals and that the beef
furnished the soldiers was the same
that the trust sells in every large city
in the country all the time. Gen.
Miles is conducting an independent
investigation, through the office of
the Inspector General of the' Army,
and the War Investigating Commis
sion is also dallying with the beef
question.
The Senate might have done four
days' work this week, but it did not
actually do four hours' work. Evi
dently the Senators are not helping
the administration avoid an extra
session of the next Congress.
Talk of the administration putting
a candidate in the field against Czar
Reed for the Speakership of the next
House is again prevalent.
It is said that Mr. Reed has been
asked to define his position towards
the Hull army bill and several other
measures in which the administration
is deeplj interested, and that if he
does not agree to aid in putting those
measures through the House, an ad
ministration candidate for Speaker of
the nextHouse will at once be brought
out. Such talk has heretofore amount
ed to nothing, and this will probably
do the same; Reed isn't likely to help
the administration, nor Will he fight
it. He will allow it to pass any bill
that can command a majority.
