W., Washington, D. C. THE ISSUE JOINED. As a result of the joint debate 1 between Senators McLaurin and Tillman on last Saturday, South Carolina will be thrown into the ] throes of political excitement . this, an off year, a condition that i in our judgment will not be help- < ful to the business or political < interests of the State. Senator i McLaurin was invited by a com mittee of citizens to speak at Gaffney, and by another commit tee Senator Tillman was invited to speak at the same place on the same day. Both Senator's hold ing views on national issues at varience with each other, a "fur flying" match was expected; the 500 people present were not dis appointed. Senator McLaurin opened in defense of his votes in tfie United States Senate, and Senator Tillman with his usual bluntness endeavored to place his colleague before the people in the light of one who had drift ed from Democratic moorings into the haven of Republicanism. These two statesman were well matched, neither fearing the1 other, and the audience accord ing to the newspaper reports was about equally divided. But the sensational feature of the meet ing came when Tillman declared that McLaurin ought to resign. McLaurin retorted, that Tillman would not resign; smarting un der the taunt from the junior Senator, Tillman replied that he would do so if McLaurin would, they both agreed and sent a joint resignation to Governor Mc Sweeneyo take -effect Septem ber 15th. Without full informa tion as to all of the circum stances, this act on the part of these distinguished gentlemen strikes us as being exceedingly foolish-more like provoked chil dren. It is to be deplored that - our representatives should have1 allowed their personal feelings to get wrought up to such a pitch:] that they would precipitate an'1 extra primary election upon the people in an off year. The peo-: ple complain, and justly so, that we have too many political con tests in this State, and to have 1 one forced upon them is not cal-: culated to bring about much har-] mony, but the die is cast, and we will have to suffer the conse quences. Senator McLaurin ini the advocacy of his views is sin cerely endeavoring to educate; the people to accept certain ideas which he claims are not antago-] nistic to genuine Democratic principles, and that they are for< the best interests of the people< - of the South. He honestly be * lieves that the conditions exist-' ing now require commercial ex pansion, and that our clinging to the methods as .pursued by our~ present Democratic leaders are< not progressive, but rather an] obstruction to the South's mater-'1 ial welfare. He realizes that his task is a herculean one, but that1 does not daunt him in the least,1 and if his physical condition will permit, he proposes to make this a campaign of education: we sin cerely hope that although this] extra primary is -forced upon the people, they will see to it, that: none of the candidates will be per mitted to quit these important1 issues to indulge in abuse. The editor of this paper has been a1 supporter of both Senator's Till man and McLaurin, and he re grets exceedingly that circum stances have brought about a1 condition which will force him to decide between the two, but when we hear both and we are con-] vinced, we will cast our vote for the man who we believe is advo-i cating those measures which will -inure to the people's benefit. We< are not going to be frightelied by'1 the cry of "Republicanism," be-< cause our observation and ex perience has taught us that .nen differ as to the meaning and ef-i fect of that term, what we want 1 to know is, whether the questions i now in issue are for or against the people's interests.] Ehe resignation of these two Senators cannot accomplish any purpose further than the relega- 1 ting of one or both to private]1 life, but if what McLaurin is ad vocating is for the benefit of the 1 people, and the business inter ests of the State seem to think t it is, the defeat of the juniorSen-] ator will not settle the agitation, because, if it is right, the people t will see it, and the agitation will< continue to grow until it is set-i tled. We would therefore urge the people not to permit themselves to become excited, but to en-i lighten themselves on the issues. Do not let professional poli- t ticians deceive you with the cry c - of "Republicanism," or the "nig- t ger-in-the-wood-pile,"but keep in g mind that this is a contest in the i Democratic primary where ne- r groes do not participate, and the 1 majority rules. In this issue of c THE TIMES will be found Mc- t utlines his policy, read it and ee if there is anything in it -hich appeals to your reason. We' expect to give our readers oth sides of this controversy, nd through our editorials 'we 'rill endeavor to give our conclu ions, the reports of the Gaffney aeeting are too meagre to do ithEr side justice, but enough vas reported to warrant us in aving that Tillman has lost none f his fire, and McLaurin well atched him. The difference )etween the two, is that Mc ,aurin is at a disadvantage on Lcccunt of his physical condition nd cannot, we fear stand the atigue and strain of such a har ssing campaign as Tillman will orce upon him. There are few nen in McLaurin's condition of iealth who would dare take the -isk, as one of his personal rie-ads, we advised him before lis contact with Tillman at xaf'ney not to undertake it, and is reply was "I am engaged in conscientious discharge of duty o the people of South Carolina, nd I am going as long as God iv as me strength. Believing as do, that the principles I am en lea voring to inculcate will result n c betterment of the people's yordition, for, if ever a people leserved a public servants best shught, it is the people of my tate." - A GREAT SPEECH. The speech delivered by Sen ttcr McLaurin in the city of 3reenville, which we invite the seious attention of our readers -o, is, to our mind, one of the strongest appeals to common seise we have ever listened at >r read. We regard it a full and 3o:nplete answer to the charge >f disloyalty, and whether his iews on governmental policy will be accepted by the people at his time or not, the day is com ng when the people will realize at Senator McLaurin's course as what he sincerely believes o be for the South's best inter sts. McLaurin's speech was an out ine of the platform upon which ae proposes to make his fight Defore the meople, and it is in leed fortunate that South Caro ina has a primary system where i man can urge his ideas before he voters and at the same time keep the Democratic party in act. McLaurin's opponents charge aim with party disloyalty-that >n national questions he is a Re publia1. and on account of his views he has influence with the aational administration. We Le:erd the speech delivered md we have also read every word of it, and for the life of us wve cannot find a syllable m it ~hat is disloyal to Democratic principles. We do not profess, aowever, to be as capable of de ermining the meaning of Demo 3ratic principles as some of our riends who roll the words out f their mouths with as much wisdom as if they, were talking xout the rules of :poker, but we tre capable of understanding a aroposition which appeals to our easoning powers. This; being ;o, we have no hes:tation in say ng that the Senator's speech hould be studied by pvery voter; es, every student will find in it valuable information, and we be .ieve if the readers will thrust side the prejudice that has been 3eated, they will reach the con 3usion that the day is at hand when the South, of all sections, annot be benefited by forming .tself into a wall to obstruct and binder the national government. WVe must, if we propose to en ourage our industrial growth, end a helping hand in the up. uildng, and as long as we re nain content to blindly cling to he past, we cannct expect to be >eneficiaries of progress to any ~reat extent. As we understand Senator Mc aurin's position it means to aave a sacred regard for past 3raditions of the Democratic party, and to turn our faces to wards the condition of the coun ry as it now exists; that we dc 1t permit ourselves to be held ogether by party dictators, but sach man enjoy his God-given -ight to exercise hiis own judg nent. McLaurin believes that he Democratic pa::-ty under the resent leadership can never be ~uccessful, and through such eaders the party has drifted way from the principles pro nulgated by Jefferson and Jack ion, as much so as the Republi an party has drifted away from :he principles of Abraham Lin oln; on account of our environ nents he is opposed to the ~ormation of a "Republican arty "in this State, and urges bat our primary system be not :ampered with to prevent the hite men of the State from ex ressing themselves in it. If we are correct in our under ;tanding of his position, all of his talk about his attempting to yuild up another party and the egro come in, is all fol-de-rol; he negro cannot vote in the pri nary unless he voted for Hamp on and has continued to vote the )emocratic ticket continuously ince: therefore it will be seen hat McLaurin makes his fight n issues within the primary, and t gives every man the opportu xity to judge for himself which ide of the issue he will accept. [hat such a condition should be, s what brought on the political 'evolution of 1390. Tillman con ended, the people were being ontrolled by an "oligarchy," hat they had no voice in the ~overnment, and one of the main deas permeating the "Shell aanifeto" was to give the white eople a primary where they ould have issues and vote on hem, rather than men.. We when that idea was tested it met the with the approval of a vast ma- ver jority, even some who did not fa-: vor Tillman personally. I h Now, because McLaurin has, eig by studying the needs of the ble country, reached the conclusion i ' that this section of the United I 2 States can derive greater bene- out tits by being more liberal and conservative, he is being de nounced as a traitor to his party, the and from every quarter comes a I tirade of abuse. This is all 10 wrong. If We were sincere in Th 1890 in demanding a primary, tro that we might discuss issues, we wh are inconsisteat now in attempt- h ing to keep issues from being dis cussed in the primary. If McLau rin refused to pledge himself to I abide the result of the primary, we would be among the first to Si say to him "you catr.ot come in," I but when he proposes to adbave a c to the party rules and t Pr same pledge all other ca have taken, we see no justice or reason to even threaten to not permit him to run. So We will not, in this article, at- In( tempt to discuss the points of his vei Greenville deliverance, it is here in, for every one to read, but we can say in all sincerity that the 1' speech was an "eye-opener " to j many and it made friends for the ni( speaker. els How's Thisf ito We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for is ; any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

B. pa . .. - bo pi Our Philippine Letter. ze ea Editor The Manning Times: ev No doubt by now you think I have BI deserted and joined the Filipino's? I cI am still with Uncle Sam, but in less tr< than three more months all the Volun- un teers will be out of the service. All de the regiments in the thirties have left B except the 38th, so think before this th reaches you we will be sailing home- by ward. My last letter was written while on Luzon, we left that Island D)ec. 1st., landed here ard have almost hiked in every Province on this Islandi. We came here to reinforce troops in this Ta department and since our arrival we an had several engagements and 1 am sorry CU) o say in one fight the regiment lost its good reputation, that is we had to re- g treat for the first and only time. The Mo mounted detachment 50 men ran up leg against over 800, fought for four hours " but finally ran out of ammunition and anc had to vamoosie or get captured, several g horses were lost two men killed and one se captured.ch This Island is not as large as Luzon paa but with a few exceptions about the 2 same; the people speak a different lan- anc guage and the sun seems like it is pretty tali close. it is 350 miles South of Manila en and just as close to the Equator as I care to get. The Visayans hate the Taga logs about as much as the latter dislike the Americans, they are better fighters too but can not shoot ~but very little, bolos and spears they can use to a finish. I would bring a collection back with me but do not care to do so for I have dreampt often enough of having my head cut off and body pierced with them, so do not care for a gentle r'e- let minder. if You have no doubt hetard that the na real live "Aggie" or Aguinlaldo has at last been captured and I am glad to say by a Volunteer. General Funston and twvo officers of the 1lth Cavalry w.ithin seventy eight Macabebe scouts sur prised him in his hiding place and be- th~ fore he could think his body guard was killed and the General captured. It i se quite a romance so if I can get one of the papers with account of the danger- foz ous but successful trip will send it to $. you. The paper says, General Aguin aldo is now the guest of General Mc- p Arthur in Manila. He says the Fihpi- mh nos have taken an oath never to give up ls the fight, if he only knew how many of y his ricoht hand men had surrendered th with all their forces he himself would by order the remainder to come in andth give up. g It is now only a matter of a fewic months before the remaining Generals t now in the field will give up. Hundreds ho of rifles are captured daily and numbers sh~ are surrendered. The order sending , their leaders to Guam has had great ~ effect. I was in Manila the day th~e first were sent away" and I must say it was a sad sight. Thousands were at the wharf to say good bye, such weep ing and walling I never expect to wit ness again, mothers, wives, brothers, A sisters, sweethearts and children were all there to get the last look and say ind ood bye forever. tre SQuite a number of the Provinces have ve accepted civil government and I believe rep next year will find every thing moving cur on as smooth over here as in the States. sal I met quite a number of my old South Carolina friends in Manila among them Lieutenant's Carson of Sumter and Moormnan of Coiumbia, also Sergeant Tiller and Bill Bonham. The latter was Regimental Sergeant Major of the 29th, and just as handsome as ever. He expected a commi~ssion as second Lieu -fl tenant before leaving for the States. Last December I met the first man I ) knew b)efore coming to the Philippines. When the Transport arrived here Tom, Wilder came on board, of course we were glad to see each other. I got per msson to go ashore and we certainly celebrated the occasion. Since, I have .I seen him quite often, we have certainly tio spent some pleasant evenings together. mu He has a splendid position, but think val before many years Tom will be back in gel old Clarendon.
