THE GONZALEZE-ELLERBE TURMOIL The newpapers and the politicians for the past week have been thrown into a considerable turmoil by the severe commetson the alleged deal between Govern6r Ellerbe and Edi tor Gonzales of the Columbia State. We think the affair most unfortunate and there has been more fuss kicked up over it than was necessary; it fur nished the opposition to the dispen sary, material upon which to build prejudice. Some of those with whom we came in contact condemn Go'.ernor Ellerbe for being so short-sighted as to allow himself placed in a position of being accused of dickering with known op ponents of the dispensary law, while others believe that the Governor has been the victim of misplaced confi dence. Many friends of the dispen sary feel there was a premeditated plot to entrap the Governor and weak en his influence with the present Leg islature. Then there are others who claim it was a game of politics upon the principle of "fighting the devil with fire." We have read with care that por tion of the Governor's message which Editor Gonzales claims was a violation of a promise made, and which has brought about all of this terrible ar raignmenti and for the life of us we cannot see wherein Governor Ellerbe has violated the promise, if he made one. The letter from the Governor to Mr. Weston that wasmarked "con fidential" and which Editor Gonzales submits as proof, does not make any promise which was not contained in the message. In that letter to M.r Weston he says. "I concur with your views upon the liquor question.' The Governor in his message reecom mends that the liquor ques'ion be submitted to the people. What iE the "liquor question?" 'The constitu tion has killed the barroom system, but has left open the right for the people to say in the future whether they would have the dispensary, pro hibition or high license. Governor Ellerbe in all of his utterances advo cated the dispensary system, and it his message he recommends, the li quor question to be submitted to the people for settlement; and where s county votes prohibition, that county should be deprived of any of the li quor revenues and be required to en force the execution of the law at its own expense. Editor Gonzales claims the Gov ernor promised to recommend "higl license." The Weston letter does no1 say so; it says, "I concur with you views upon the liquor question." ThE whole thing hinges upon Weston'" views as expressed to Governor Eller be in private. We do not know wha Mr. Weston's views were, but we havt always regarded him friendly to th< dispensary system but desiring t< have the question submitted to th< people for settlement and put a sto] to the constant discussion. If the private conversations between Gov ernor Ellerbe and his friend, Mr Weston, brought about a promise t< recommend high license, the promis' was not msde in words, but in effec it was, because when he recommend ed the submission, the general assem bly could say dispensary, prohibition or high license, and would do so, evel without a recomamendation, if it sas fit. But if the Govenor made th< promise and by it Mr. Weston secur ed the support of Mr. Gonzales, bh should have carried it out and his no having done so was a mistake. I will be remembered that the Gover nor can only make suggestions to th General Assembly, and it is for thi law-making body to say whether th Governor's suggestions shall be enact ed into law. If this were not so, th Legislature would be a useless brane -of the government. The only difference we can see bE tween the recommendations of th Governor and what Mr. Goialek claims is that the words "high li cense" were not incorporated in th message, but the fact of the Governo recommending a vote on the liquc question, would seem to be as muc as the strongest advocates of leavin the people decide the question ca desire. We have no idea that Goa ernor Ellerbe had any intention< misleading anyone, for we cannot se promise made to the people which he failed to carry out. Our readers will remember how the liquor men rushed over to the prohibition side, between the first and second primary, and in their eagerness to destroy the dispensary, they did not conceal their intentions; the friends of Governor Ellerbe saw how bent the anti-dispensary forces were to destroy the dispensary and bring about a free liquor condition; then it was that the Governor's friends undertook to counteract the work of the oppositL*n, and knowing the Gov ernor was convinced there were sev eral counties in the State that wanted to be rid of liquor in any form, they went out and made im pressions which led some of the op position into the belief that the Gov ernor would incorporate the words "high license" in his message. We contend, the letter written to Mr. Weston on its face, did not commit Governor Ellerbe to "bigh license," it only committed him to certain views not expressed in that letter, but expressed to the Governor in pri vate. Now what were the views Mr. Weston expressed, and in which the Governor said he concurred? We would not for a moment, insin uate that Mr. Weston expressed one view to the governor and another to Editor Gonzales, but political excite ment was high and the Prohibition ists, with their unnatural alliance, were making things too close for comfort, and Governor Ellerbe, in his extreme anxiety, may have conceded more than he intended, but when the time came to write his message, the political battle was over, and his promises to the people were carried out faithfully. We know Mr. Wes ton to be an honorable man and we are sure he had no intention to bring about this turmoil; being the Gover nor's friend, he was anxious to see him elected; we have no idea he in tended to deceive anybody nor do we believe it was Governor Ellerbe's intention to do so. There has, in our opinion, been too much feeling shown in this matter, and the only persons benefitted are the politicians who are to gain by the agitation. Senator McLaurin made a speech in the Senate last Friday against the administration's imperial policy, and in it he scored many strong points. He spoke for over one hour and held the attention of the Senators and spectators. IThe silly stuff going the rounds of the press about impeaching the Gov ernor because of the Gonzales-Eller brow is preposterous. The Gen eral Assembly has nothing whatever to do with what occurred between M;. Gonzales and Mr. Ellerbe in the primary election; that is a matter entirely for the people; if they be lieve the Governor played a trick-card to v~in his election, and they consid er he was unfair, they can take a whack at bim if he ever runs for of ice agaiin; this is our view, notwith standing the grand display of legal lore volunteered the General Assem bly by the News and Courier in its issue of the 14th inst. , The row kicked up by the Colum bia State over the alleged breach of faith on the part of the Governor has, to a certain extent, prevented a fair consideration of the message. This document in its entire, is of more importance to the people than the solving of the question, did Gover nor Ellerbe resort to unfair means to secure the support of Editor Gon zales? A reading of the message will show that . the Governor has prepared a paper which must strike every newsapaper reader with its strong presentation of the State's condition. His recommendations are sound and practical and we hope the prejudice created by the State's arraignment will not affect legislation nor retard the work of the members of the General Assembly.

Washington Letter. - (From our Regular Correspondent.) a Wasiugton, Jan. 13, 1899.--Signe S are plentiful that Mr. McKinley is alarmed by the extent of the Senator . ial sentiment against our permanent ownership of the Philippines that has been brought out this week. Sena 1 tor Foraker tried to answer the Con stitutional argument made by Sena - cor Hoar against our right to own the islands, and Senator Mason's speech .in favor of his resolution declaring Sthat the U. S. will not attempt to con - trol any other people without their e consent, but the administration would r doubtless have preferred another and abler champion. Other disturbing r lmnsto the expansion-or-bust 2 men were a resolution for the recog ;nition of Filipino independence, of Sfered by Senator Bacon, and another that any agressive action against the Filipinos on the part of the adminis Stration would be an exercise of Con e stitutional power vested exclusively e irnCoges offred by Senator Allen ln addition to these, a number of Sen itors, by question interjected in the 3ebate, made it plain that they are >pposed to our retaining the Philip pines. That things are getting warm n the vicinity of the White House was shown by the giving out of a semi-official statement that Mr. Mc. inley had never expressed Limnself in favor of permanent ownership of the Philippines, and that his inten tions had gone no farther than to give the islands a military government similar to that now in Cuba. The statement intimates, without saying, that if the Filipinos show themselves capable of maintaining a stable gov ernment Mr. McKinley would doubt less favor their independence in time. Such statements are not binding on Mr. McKinley, even if they were ex plicit. He had an opportunity to say just what his intentions are, when he sent the treaty to the Senate, but he didn't do it. The Democrats on the Committee on Foreign Relations interposed no objections and the treaty of peace was reported to the Senate this week. The treaty will be ratified, but how soon will depend upon whether its oppo nents, who are more numerous than they were at first supposed to be, will be satisfied merely to go on record against it with their votes. Mr. Andrew Carnegie is in Wash ington, openly working against the ratification of the treaty of peace. He thinks that if Col. Bryan would revise his advice and try to get democratic Senators to vote against the treaty, instead of voting for the treaty and afterwards against expansion, its re jection would follow. He said: "All that I hear indicates the increase of the opposition, and I am quite en couraged to believe that the ratifica tion of the treaty can be defeated. According to my opinion, this is the opportune time for those who oppose expansion to do their work. Only a one-third vote is required to defeat the treaty, whereas with the treaty ratified, we will have to secure a ma jority to make our views effective. Hence, I say that this is the time for Mr. Bryan and other anti-expansion ists to Imake the fight. Hereafter we will not enjoy the advantage over our opponents that we now do, having them to meet them in the open field." Senator Morgan secured . the con sent of the Senate to vote upon his Nicaragua Canal bill, next Tuesday, and he is confident that it will pass, with amendments acceptable to him. The House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce is unanimous ly in favor of the canal, but divided on bow it shall be built. The sword that Congress had made for Dewey is on exhibition in Wash ington; also the sword which the Royal Arcanum had made at a cost of $1,500 for Schley, but nobody is ex hibiting a sword that anybody intends for Sampson, who not being able to pull a presentation sword will have to be content with having pulled more promotion than he was entitled to from the Navy Department. -Mr. McKinley did not consult any of the leaders of his party before pro moting Charlemagne Tower, of Pa., from tbe Austrian Minister to be Ambassador to Russia, and appoint ing Addison C.Harris~of Ind.,who isn't personally known by hardly anybody in Washington, outside of the Indi ana delegation in Congress, Minister to Austria. Both are regarded as personal appointments. The nomi nation of Joseph. H. Choate, of N. Y., to be Ambassador to England was a Platt deal. The Democratic and populist Sena tors are preparing to make a warm fight against the Hull army bill, which has been delayed in the House by the illness of Representative Hull, when it reaches the Senate after being jammed through the House by ad ministration influence, and it begins to look as though thue bill would fall at this session of Congress, adding another to the numerous things that will increase the probabilities of a spring extra session of the next Con gress. Gen. Leonard Wood, the fortunate gentleman who jummed from an army surgeon~ with the rank of Captain, de tailed to act as the McKinley family physican, to be a Major General, dring the scrap with Spain, and who is now military commander cf the Saniago district, in Cuba, is in Wash ington, under orders. It is believed that Gen. Wood was sent for by Mr. McKinley in connection with some of the troubles that have already cropped out among the army officers who form the military government of Cuba. He is going right back. A Clever Trick. It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it. Anybody can try it who has lame back and weak kidneys, malaria or nervons troubles.
