Entered at the Post Office at Manning as Second-Class Matter. Senator McLaurin is being criti cized for voting for the peace treaty and his critics lay special stress upon his having made a speech recently which placed him among the opposi tion. McLaurin's speech was against expansion and before the outbreak at Manila. Tbere is nothing in Mc Laurin's action which places him in an inconsistant position. He is still opposed to expansion, and his vote to ratify the treaty was thoroughly in accord with the Democracy's leader, William Jennings Bryan, who in an open letter advised the ratification. When the question of holding the Philippines comes up, we are statis fied McLaurin will by his voice and vote, express the views of his people. Many of his critics know nothing about the subject, and some of them have an idea, that because Tillman voted against the treaty, McLaurin went back upon his people by not voting with Tillman. Their voting differently is a matter of individual opinion, there is no question of party policy or State interest involved, and if McLaurin viewed it to be the best interests of the country at large to relieve the administration from the embarrassing position it was in, it washis duty to cast his vote as he did. It must be remembered that while the Senate was divided on the treaty question the Filipinos had rea son to believe the people of this country would not back up the gov ernment and the longer the uncer tainty continued, the more would the insurgents continue their warfare. We have not the slightest doubt, but the delay in the ratitication of the treaty encouraged those people to open fire upon oui soldiers, and add another bloody chapter to our his tory. The people of this country want to get the war stopped and re turn to a settled condition, but the desired result could not be obtained as long as our Congress was holding tbe country in doubt. Now that the doubt has been removed by the rati fication of the treaty, we look for speedy peace, and in less than six months many ofMcLaurin's critics will be convinced of the wisdom of his course. Our information is, that even since McLaurin cast his vote, his mail has increased with letters of congratulation from all over the country. In many towns and cities joint letters signed by the business community have been forwarded to him and the wires were kept hot with messages of joy. McLaurin is in Washington at tending to his business and making a study of the people's interests, and he does not care a rap what little politicians say nor what shoe-string brained newspaper critics do., Were he a petty politician he would curry favor with these elements to make himself popular, but there is a great differance between State craft and petty politics. A statesman's acts live in history, but the acts of a pol itician are only in sight like a sky rocket for the instant. The politi cian comes into existence with much pyrotechnic display and in a twink ling goes off of the stage of action without leaving an impression. The Statesman, on the other hand, comes on the stage of action and by study and devotion he builds a monumen tal record more lasting than stone, and his brain-work is impressed up on his country's future. The indications are that our troops are making tremendous headway to. wards gaining the ascendancy over the insurgent Filipinos on the Island of Luzon in the Philippine archipel ago. Our troops attacked and cap tured the town of Caloocan last Fri day, although it was supposed to be Agunaldo's strongest point of resist ance; an attack was made Saturday upon Malabon, which will soon fall, and Gen. Miller has been instructed to demand the surrender of Iloilo, and to take it by force, in case the demand is not forthwith complied with. But Iloilo is about 300 miles distant from Manila and is not con nected with it by cable or telegraph, so that it has not been learned yet how the demand for surrender was received-or what has actually taken place at that important point- But it is asserted by those who claim to Aguinaldo is about at the en a of his resistance to American dominion over the archipelago, unless some of the powers intervene; and it is not seriously feared that any power will have the hardihood to take up the cudgel against the American Repub lic in behalf of the insurgents. Every effort is being made to capture Aguinaldo himself, for he is the head and front of the whole insurrection; with him captured and out of the way, it is believed that the natives would interpose very slight, if any resistance, to American dominion and c)ntrol. The dispatch from Gen. Otis saturday is thought to indicate that the end to the up-rising of the Ph:.lipinos is near at hand; for the opinion prevails in administration circles now, and has prevailed ever since the first attack made upon our troops over there, that Aguinaldo would not be able to maintain his in fluence over his ignorant followers in the face of successive reverses. He has now sustained these successive defeats, and every indication seems to point to the fact that he is "in ex tremis," and will never be able again to muster around him, even if he is not captured, sufficient forces to give our troops any serious trouble from now on. Our casualities so far have been 292, all told; but only a few of these were fatal. The enemy is not armed in a way to inflict serious dam age-many of the Filipinos have no guns at all. They are, therefore, pursuing a forlorn hope when they aspire to make any headway against an American army, which is not only provided witb the best modern guns and modern appliances of intelligent field operations and constant com munication, but also provided with the best fighting "grit, skill and markmanship" to be had anywhere in the known world. They were as helpless befcre the Spanish army as the Spanise army was before the American; then where does their chance agaiast the American army come in at all? They simply have no chance-their doom is inevitable, and the sooner they realize it and take advantage of it, the better it will be for them. Every life they lose now is simply a tribute paid to folly. It is believed by many of the best informed membera of Congress now that an extra session is almost as sured beyond question, fojr it is not known whether all of the appropria tion bills will be passed at this ses sion or not; but it is more than prob able that the army re-organization bill will fail to pass, and it is certain that the '?resident will convene Con gress in extra session, if that fails. This certainty, or very general belief, has given rise to a discussion of the probable speakership of the next House. It is asserted now that the administration and the present Czar of the Hcus'e (who have been at cross purposes on the colonial expansion policy) have signed a formal protocol, by the terms of which it is agreed that, if Mr. Reed will not oppose any administration measure, the adminis tration will not oppose his re -election. If that be true, it it almost an as sured fact that Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, will succeed himself as Speak er of the Fifty-Sixth Congres Both sides are very glad of this amicable adjustment; fcr Mr. Reed is not anx ious for the administration's opposi tion to his candidacy, and the admin istration is not very anxious for Mr. Reed's opposition to its pet policies; so they have agreed "to bury the batchet." Capital Correspondence. It was reported on the floor of the House that Representative Woods was stricken with smallpox and the report created considerable regret and worry to some of the Doctor's colleagues who live at the same boarding house. Representative Gra ham, of the Williamsburg delegation, came over to the Senate Chamber quite alarmed and did not feel easy again until a telegraphic reply came denying the report. The Doctor has been quite sick with the grip and we hope by now he has sufficiently re covered to come back to his duties. Sepresentative Jones is back at his desh, but stil: quite weak from the effect of his iiiness. Mrs. Henry B. Richardson, after spending several days with the Major, has returned t) her home. The bill to cut off the extra week of court in the fall has passed both houses and now awaits the signature of the governor, who is still confined to his room. The supply bill has passed the House and it makes the entire levy for Clarendon 13 mills. The seed e atton license bill which was killed in the early part of tho session, was resurected and is again upon the calendar, but what its fate will be, I cannot tell, as Sumter and Darligton are very much opposed to it, but I feel it my duty to use every fair means to have it passed. The great battle is on, the liquor legislatton. 'The friends of the dis Ipensary are all split, as to the best way to handle the queston, but I have become convinced that we will never get the thing out of politics Iuntil the people have had a fair square chance to vote upon it. I in troduced a bill in the Senate which caused some surprise, but if it pas se it is my sincere judgment that ithe dispensary will be the better for it. By my bill we will get clear of certain cities which have never re spected the law and where it has been impossible to enforce, and it will leave the rest of the State to en joy its benefits without all of this strife and bitterness. I think the bill is fair and will meet the approval of the people. The following is the text of the bill: Section 1. That whenever one-third of, the registered voters of any counity shall petition, in writing, to the county com wvissionie's of such county for an election to submit to the voters thereof the question cf "Dispensary," "High License" or "Pro hibition," and the petition, together with the names of the petitioners. has been pub lished at least once a week for thr-e weeks in some newspaper published in said county, the governor, upon the request of the said county comUitesion - ers, shall order an election within forty days thereafter, at which the queition of dispensary, high license, or prohibition shall be sobmitted. If no one proposition shall obtain a majority of the votes cast, a second election shall be heldI two weeks from the day of the first election, at which two propositions receiving the highest number of votes at the first election shall be submitted. It shall be the duty of the gov ernor, upon the request of the county com missioners, to appoint three commissioners of election, one of whom shall favor the dispensary, one h'gh license and one pro hibition, and the said commissioners shall conduct the elections in the same manner as other general elections are conducted, except that the managers of election shall represent the questions at issue, and re ceive no cornpensation for their services. Sec. 2. In the ovent that any county. by such election, shall declare for dispensary, such county shall continue under the State dispensary law. Sec. 3. In the event that any county, by such election, shall declare for prohibition, no, liquors, wines or beer shall be sold, and prohibition shall prevail in such county, and all dispensaries therein shall be closed within thirty days. Sec. 4. In the event that any county, by such election, shall declare in favor of high license, the county commIssioners are here by authorized and directed to issue license for the sale of liqucrs in incorporated towns and cities of said county, but not elsewhere. All applicants for license for the sale of liquors shall be men of good moral character and sober habits, and be recommended by at least twenty freehold voters of the city or town wherein it is pro posed to do business. Provided, If there be less than thirty qualified voters within such incorporated town, then two-thirds thereof will be sufficient. The county ommissioners are hereby authorized and required to take bonds from all licensees in the sum of five thousand dollars for the observance of all laws and restrictions re quired by the Constitution and laws of the State, and such other rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the county com misioners. If any licensee shall violate any of the conditions of his bond, it shall be forfeited, his license revoked, and no license shall thereafter be granted to him. No license shall be granted tor a less sum than two thousand dollars per annum, nor for a longer period than one year, to be paid in advance. The board of county commissioners shall in their discretion limit the number of licenses to be granted. It shall be the duty of the county commissionerS to establish such rules as they may deem proper to guar antee the purity of all liquors offered for sale, and are hereby authorized to expend the necessary funds from license fees to secure that end by chemical analy si or otherwise. It shall be the duty of the sheriff, his deputies, the magistrates and their constables, and all city and town officil, to see to the enforcement of the law jn respect to the sale of liquors, and if they fail to properly enforce the law, the county commissioners may use so much of the license fee as may be necessary for a rigid enforcement thereof. That after the payment of the necessary expansas by the county commissioners herein provided for, the said county commissioners shall promptly pay over to the county treasurer one-half of the license fees hereinbefore provided for, and pay over the other half thereof to the proper authorities of the cities and towns in which tthe sale of liquors is licensed. Sec. 5. That no subsequent election shall be held under the provisions of this act within two years from the previous election thereunder. Sec. 6. T1hat all acts anid parts of ncts in consistent with this act are hereby re pealed. On Saturday I addressed the Sen ate in support of the measure, as follows: Senator Appelt said that as it had been given out that he had changed his opinion on this question lately, he had been told that this change would be his political funeral knell. He had a right to his opin ions; he could not be bullied by a threat; he had received his commission from the people of Clarendoni County, and if his people disapproved of his action let them speak; his commission was- theirs. He continued; I am an advocate and a supporter of the dispensary system anei I am anxious to have that system operated with less friction and with le-ss turmoil, and especially am I anxious to eliminate the s-'oject from our political discussions; because under existing conditions, ques tions of greater importance are thrust aside to give way to the sole question of liquor control. The dispensary law, when first enacted, was experimental and necessarily erude in its make-up. As a consequence it has been amended from time to time. My bill is simply what might be termed an amend ment in the shape of an exception. It cannot be denied that there arc sec tions of this State where the dispensary law is not satisfactory to a large element of citizens, and who can say how much of the dissatisfaction arises from an idea that it is a law being thrust upon these citizen. against their will? Their opposition is based upon the principle of being governed without their consent. The failure of such people to heartily co operate with us in the support and enforce ment of the present law is a friction-a broko en cog wheel-which retards and defects the complete success of the beat lignor reg ulation law ever enacted for the govern ment of the people of this Statte. As long as this friction exists in any part of the Staite the whole system will be sunb ected to a constant fire of discussion; its shortcomings will be magnified by its op. ponents, and it will inevitably suffer from being kept continually in politics. I want it rid of politics; the people are tired of its being in politics; remove it from those sections of the State w'here it does ot seen tonsit the neonle. Let the people of the EAst majority of the co inties exnj is in settled peace and quiet, the go'o.I effects brought about by this modern solutio-i of a vexed question. It may be said the people throughout the State should be forced to support this law as they do any other law. In my judg. encti, based upon pa-t experience, this cannut be doire. No law can be succesr. f'illy onforced a tinst the will of Uh.4 pet - ple, nid wheo the oppositi.a1 to tie hAW .s in a city, with its wonicipl ai.1 ci'aty antiorities in sympiithy wi:.h the i;,p.,i tion, it i . uteiy i.apuionibie to enfirce it This is the r..a-on th- di-apensary law has i.v r been ,ucce.ftlly enforced in Char les:on.

Failuro hias been the fate of the di pen sary law in CharLatun With it large .u stabulary f.rce they failed. With a metro politan pol.ee force they failed. With nu. !oeroue beer privileges and even whole. sale privileges they failed. Hence it does seem to me fr11 this t xperience it must be admitted the dispensary law has not and cannot be enforced in some counties. As I said the other day the evil of this failure to enforce the law will spread and perme ate other localities as well is hinder the en. forcement of other laws. If a juror can disregard his duty and his oath in a dis pensary case, will Ito not likely do so in other cases, and justify his conduct with the reflection that he does not think the law a wise one? What, then, are we to do? Shall we rid the dispensary law of these counties where the enforcement is impossible, and thus have a settled condition for the government of those counties whose people give it their moral support, and which will insure its complete success? Or shall we blindly hold on to them until they drag the insti tutlon into disrepute? It may be argued that we must have a general law applicable to the entire State. One of the most beneficial laws ever en acted in this State is the fence law, and yet we see portions of the State exempted from its operations, Why? Because the stock law is not suited to certain sections. Look through the statutes and you will find cer tain counties exempted fiomn many general laws, merely upon the request of their Rep resentatives. But is this dispensary law a general law, with no exceptions? By no means. If the law is general in terms the administration of it is far from general. In my own town I can not buy liquors or beer outside of the dispensary, but here in Co lumbia, under the shadow of the State House, private individuals import beer, bottle it and haul it through the streets for sale under a special privilege. Is that a general law? This is not "equal rights to all and special privileges to none," but it is special privileges to some and equal rights to none. These special privileges, in my opinion, are not warranted by law, and I believe they are wrong; then again, when rou go to Charleston, not only do you find these special privileges. but you can get liquor at your hotel-a speoial privilege not enjoyed by your country inns, nor by the vast ma jority of hotels in the State. I believe that every one of these privi leges are illegal, not only so, but they are a blight to the dispensary law. Without im pugning the motives of those who have claimed the legal right to grant these privi leges, and put it on the ground "that pecu liar conditions demanded the exercise of their right," let nao say that this proves that our general dispensary law is in many re spects not suited for certain places. Let the people of those counties say if they need a change, and if so what system, au thorized by the fundamental law, best suits their conditions. But I can go further and say the admin istration of the law in some counties is a reproach to the plan. TIhis wholesale privilege to sell liquors at wholesale in one community was never contemplated by the advocates of the dis pensary law, and yet my information is that such a privilege has been obtained by a concern in Charleston. Why was it granted? Was it politics or what was it? Free the law and its advocates of all priv ileges and of all co(unties where the con ditions cf the people are averse to the up holding of this law, and it will soon be re moved from politics. It will be a blessing to the people and becmie respected and fixed as any law upon the statute books. Let us do this, and by doing so we stand upon the bed rock of Deuocracy, by per. mitting the people to rule themselves. Give them home rule and local self-government; let them, if they so desire, say at the ballot box if they are disatisfied with the dispen sary law, and if so, what constitutional system is best suited to them. This bill may be improved in some of its details, but I believe the general scope will prove satisfactory.

Now, why continue this warfare? These people are a part of us, ind it is not our desire to regard them i i violators of the law. If we can enact a L ir that they will accept, it will be respected, and instead of the State beiag deprived of a revenue, now going into the pockets of those who defy the law, backed up by the sentiment of their communities, a revenue will come into the treasury and our laws upheld. In this bill submitted is the machinery for carrying such a law into effect. I am not wedded to its details, and invite such amendments as will improve it. I think the the bill fair and reanianable. But atter all, under the constitution those taking advantage of this bill must observe most of the laws governing the dispensary as to opening, closing, drinking on the premises, etc. and about the only differ erenceti are as to who shall sell, where they may buy and the price charged. But un der license those who feel the law has in aded their liberties will feel that they are free from the offending law, while the dis pensary will, in fact, be free of an elephant which has been on its hands since the en actment of the law.
