APRIL 4. 11)00.
The expense of the War Department,
covering the military oporatioiia
iu the l'hilippines, from May
1, 181)8, until November 1, lS'J'J, is
a grand total of $48,i)28t(X)0.'d4.
This in besides the original $20,-1
< 00,000 we- paid for the islands.
This is expansion with a von- :
gennoo?that is, of the pocket book
kind. Dot, then, it's opening n
market for our products and giving I
us .more territory to pass Puerto
lticau turitV bills on, and then the
money comes from the public treasury
and it doesn't matter much,-I
anyhow, for if the Government
does fall behind on runniiur ex
penees, wo cnn pass a few more internal
revenue bills, and p.le ti few
more burdens on the people?we
menu the people?not the men
with vast incomes, for that would
bo "unconstitutional/' you know.
And, of course it's all right to
spend the people's money opening
tip a market for our infant industries,
for they have not the world's
market to sell their floods in, nnd '
therefore wo must got up a stand- t
jng army, cross the mighty Pacific
10,000 miles away nnd proceed
to butcher,'murder, nnd takeaway
the natural rights frotn more than i
10,000,000 negroes. And, of course,
the monarchies of Europe will he
dividing up the "Yellow man of
the Orient" in the course of a few
years, and we will want to hold 11
hand in the guino, and tljett the ;
Philippines will be a steppingstone
to help make a great big
steal... Then we__ will want our
standing army increased to some
four or Hvo hundred thousand to
keep those "rebol" Chinese in sub- |
jection, so we can "open up our !
markets," so that the fanner can
have 10 cent cotton and dollar-a- i
bushel wheat, and incidentally So
the pnrty of reciprocity, trusts, and
gold will have plenty of good fat
offices to dispense to the "trooly
lo'il," and then we can spend a
whole lot more of the good people's
money, you know. Nearly ?70,000,000
blow'ed in and still the
"rebels" persist in fighting and
won't submit. What a pile of
money! We want to do something
for our commerce; we have 1
spent a pile of money on negroes,
nearly enough to have budded the
celebrated Nicaragua canal, but
now we are like the man who was uu
to liis neck ip quagmire, the more
we kick and squirm, the deeper in
wo get. Our mighty domain',
stretches from ocean to ocean, the
euu never sets upon it, our ships
are known in every sen, our commerce,
is bounded only by the end
of th& earth, and the scream of the
eagle causes tho knees of the
mighty nionarehs of the earth to j
unite together, while our riches
far exceed that of tho once tnuohfnmod
Indies, and nil tho magic of
Aladdin's lamp, but we can not t
conquer those negroes, and in the
meantime the debt keeps piling up
and growing day by day.
mm
r No greater calamity could have
befallen the Doers than the death
of General ?Toubert. lie was to
the Transvaal Republic what
Stonewall .Jackson wan to the Confederacy.
And it niny not be
amisc to quote in this connection
the iH'nutifui tribute pnid to the
worth of General .Jackson as a soldier
by the author of *4 Surry of
Eagle's Nest:"
The great form of .Jackson lias
disappeared from the stage. What
remains but a cold and gloomy
"theatre, from which the spectators
1. . 1 1 ?I- - .
iiuve vnniHiieu, wnere me lighta
are extinguished, and dnrkuess
' has settled down upon the pa
geant?
Other aotitW of fire, and valor,
and uushrinking nerve were left,
yd
and their career was glorious, but
the finger of Fate seemed to mark
out, with its bloody point, thfc
name of "Clmncollorsville," and
the irdn lips to unclose and mutter,
" Thus far, no f urther!" With
the career of this man of destiny
hnd wnned tlie strength of the
South; when he fell, the end was
in sight. Thenceforward as good
fighting as the world ever saw
seeuied useless, and to attain no
result. Even the soldier.-hip of
Lee?such soldiership as renders
famous forever a race and an
epoch?could achieve nothing.
From the day of Chancellorsville
the hattleflag, torn in so many
glorious encounters, seemed to
shine no more in the light of victory.
Tt drooped upon its staff",
however defiantly ut times it robe?
slowly it descended. It fluttered
for a moment amid the fiery
storm of Gettysburg, in the woods
of Spottsylvania, and on the banks
of the Appomattox, but never
again did its dazzling folds flaunt
proudly in the wind and burn like
a beacon light on victorious fields.
It .. oc 1 ' ?- -
??, n no iinuiiM iiiiil nit" army
fehonld connect the de clining fortunes
of the grent Hag which they i
had fought under with the denth
of hini who had rendered it ho illustrious.
The form of Jackson
hud vanished from the scene; that
king of battle had dropped hi6
sword and descended into the
tomb. From that moment the star
of hope, liko the light of victory,
seemed to sink beneath ebon
clouds. The hero had gone down
in the bloody gulf of battle and
the torrent bore us away!
"Undo Jasper" Tulbort, tho Representative
from South Carolina, says the
Washington Post, is congratulating
himself over un opportunity to get
even. It wasn't long ago t-luit some
very wTiiw things wore said of him l?ecause
lu? insisted always that a quorum !
should bo present to pahs pension bills, ]
U was hu who made the day sessions |
for peiisiohs - necessary, because, as
"Uncle Jasi>er" put it,Republican members
preferred to attend' pink teas and
poker ]Kirties to transacting business at
the Capitol Friday nights. When the
rule for day sessions was adopted ho and
Representative "Thud" Muhon, of
Pennsylvania, had a tilt. Both gentlemen
are uddicted to violent language.
Kacli was annoyed at the attitude of
the other, and in the mutual fury
"Thad" .rebuked "Uncle Jasfwr1" for
demanding a quorum' ?>u pension busi- j
uoss, and expressed his intention to get i
up a contest in the South Carolinian's'
district in the next Comrress. Mr. Muhon
said it would afford him great satisfaction
to boo the gentleman thrown out.
Ijist Friday Mr. Mahon had his troubles.
His district ison the border linobotwoon
tho Keytono State and Maryland. Near
to liis heart for many years liavo boon
tho so-called border claims, which citizens
there have preferred, for dovastatatiou
wrought by the armies when Lee
started to invade the North. Long and
valiantly Mr. Mahon fought in tho
House for the passage of a bill to adjudicate
these claims. The majority was
against hint. First tho motion to lay
the bill aside with a favorable, recommendation
was defeated?ayes *J(t, noes
M. "No quorum," yelled Mr. Mahon,
at which Mr. Tulbert pricked up his
ears. A quorum was finally counted,
and a motion to Iny the bill 011 the tablo
was carried. Then Mr. Mahon again
uiiuif a point oi no quorum. "If you ,
want to get your bills through," ho exclaimed
testily, "you ought to have a
quorum hero," almost the identical argument
that Mr. Talbert had made frequently.
This brought Mr. Tall>ert to
his feet. "Now, Mr. Chairman," ho
said seriously, "I want to warn tho gentleman
that if he insists on that I shall
get up a contest in his district and have
him thrown out of tho next House."
There was uproarious laughter at this.
Mr. Talbert chuckled heartily. As s?s>n
as ho found an opportunity he told the
Joke to Spcukor Henderson. Ho enjoyed
it, too.
Yorlsville correspondence of the News
and Courier: It is a noticeable fact that
the people of this section have begun to
give more intelligent attention to tho
cattle business than ever before. Although
this has never been what could
properly be called a cattle-raising coun
try, thin county has boon ((hipping thousands
of cattle ouch year as far buck an
tho oldest inhabitant, can remember.
During the past twenty-Ave years York
County has probably sent something like
50,1)00 le ad of cattle to Charleston alone.
Hut so far as eattlo raising Jias been
concerned the business has Iwen more of
a side issuo than anything else. No one
seemed to give the industry especial attention.
The cattle that happened to
grow np on tho different plantations
would l?o disposed of Ht so much a head
to different dealers, who bought a stoor
here, a cow there, and a calf elsewhere.
Tho pecp'jj who ra::?d the cattle con
* #
sidurod each such sale as that much
money found in a cow track, but still
they would persistently nrguo that no
matter how a farmer might manage he
could not think of raising cuttle for tho
.market as a regular business. To-day it
is different. Scattered about through
the county there are as many as a hundred
farmers who have been drifting
more and mom into the cuttle business.
x\t this time they have each from 20 to
200 head of cattle that they have been
feeding through tho winter with a view
to getting tho.benefit of the high prices
that usually provail at this seasou of
the year. They Htill claim that there is
110 money in the business, bat it is quite
noticeable that each one who. ejhbarks
in this lino is sticking to it.
The Christian Observer accords South
Carolina the first place in point, of ?ta'
tisticnl religion. The following note
from its issue of March 21st should be
most gratifying to all South Carolinians:
South Carolina, according to tho last
report, has the honor of having a larger
proportion of her people professed Christians
than any other Statu in tbc union.
Her percentage is forty-three, while
that of Texas is twenty-nine, and that
of the Dakotas is oigliteon. In New
York city proper, only seven per cent
of tho population are members of Protestant
churchos. Allowing about half
as maay for the Roman Catholics, the
percentage would be about eleven. It
is said that there are l,:t00,000 people in
New York beyond tho palo of the
churches altogether. These figures are
a loud and alarming call to earnest
evangelistic work, especially among foreign
multitudes who arc coming constantly
to our shores. Wo must evangelize
them, or they will paganize us.
On Friday morning Piuckney Sizemore,
thirty-five years old,' married,
nnllmuuxl in H,r> nlUn.i f,#
Mauldin, Greenville, and before doctors
could roach him was pronounced dead.
The body was removed to his home and
there a coroner's jury assembled. viewed
the remains, and on the statement of
the doctors rendered a verdict of death
from heart failure. Thoi fuuoral was
set for Saturday afternoon, the grave
was dug, t lio mourners had assembled,
and the body was about to be interredi
when the police appeared nud ordered a
postponement. After the body was
taken home a test was made, which
confirmed tlio suspicion that the man
was not dead, The polipe hpd been informed
by Dr. \V. J. Ilrumlott that he
did not boliovc Size in ore was dead, and
this can&ed the summary action. While
having the Appearance of death, so far
as the fuco was concerned, Sizemoro's
body was warm, and breathing could
bo detected by the use of u mirror ut
the month. The jaws wore set and the
pupils of tho oyos unresponsive to light,
but the joints were us supple us in life.

of death lias become uumistakublo.
On the 27 th ofldAt January at Columbia,
Tonu., a largo crowd of the host
people of the town and the surrounding
country, through a cold drizzling rain
followed to the grave the remains of a
man who was known to the country
only bocause lie had been associated
with others who were widely known.
Tho man was old Bragg?not the famous
general, the lioro of two wars, the
lion of Chickamauga?but tho faithful
body servant of that hero, a humble
negro with bluok skill, but a true, faithful,
honest heart. Tho -funeral was
unique, nothing like it iWhajis ever
having before occurred on this continent.
It was conducted entirely l>y
i white jieoplo. A white preacher spoko
loving and tender words oyer tho body,
white ]ki11 bearers boro it gently to the
gra . e, and lovely white girls, the daughI
ters of tho Confederacy, brought gor*
goous floral offerings and stood reverently
in the chilling rain throughout
tho ceremonies. Tho veterans turned
out in a body and with bare heads and
sorrowful faces paid tho tribute of respect
and love always dug from the
brave to the brave.?Guffnoy Lodger.
"Aaron Burr was sixty years old
when ho rosolved once more to battle
with fortune," writes William lVrrine
in the April Ladies' Home Journal.
"Going quietly into New York, Ue|
opened an office for the practico of law,
and in a fortnight had earned two
iii msuuu (inimrs in iocs. iSut Hardly
had ho written to his daughter about
his luck when there came, from South
Carolina the news that her beautiful
boy, who had been tho idol of tlio ambitions
statesman, was dead. Hut there
was in reserve for Burr a still heavier
blow. Toward the close of the year
1N12 Theodosia Allston made preparations
to visit her father in Now York.
Passage was engaged on the schoonyr,
The Patriot,' for Theodosia, her physician,
and her maid, and the lovely
woman was radiant with the expectation
of meeting her father within the
next tivo or six days. 'The Patriot' sailed
from Charleston out into the ocean
in Christmas week, und not n vestige of
her was ever again seen, and it is surmised?but
nothing is Jcnown as to her
fate?that she founded off the coast of
Hnttems. Day uftor day, and long after

little view; he had schooled himsolf in
the; habit of never exhibiting his omoi
tious, but in one of his letters ho declared
that ho felt as if ho had boon '
