President Angell, of the University

the other day upon the subject
of "Some Present Problems in the
Relations of Missions to CJovernLinetit."
During the course of his
remarks lie. took occasion to so,,verely
censure the McKinloy ad
ministration. lie said:
"The government which breaks
treaties with respect to missionariesand
sees that their own govHent
takes no steps to protect

[)<>cs thu administration really favor 1

Iniowu condition of public sentiment,
that question may sound odd, but there :
wore things said in tlu debate which 1
preceded the passing oi tlio icr.rngua
( uiiul bill by the llouso which made it '
pertinent. Kcprcxtmtutivo Hepburn, of , '
Iowa, who was in charge of thu bill, 1
hud a sensational rosv with Itepro.sou- '
tativo Cannon, of Illinois, a man close !
to t lie admini.Urat i< >n, whom ho charged
with working in the interest of the Pan- |
man (.'anal ring in trying to defer action
in the bill, Keurosonta; ivu Carton. of
Libia, aviso a 111:111 close to the adiniuis- i
tratiou, made a, spoch ag.iiust naming '
tlnruntuof tho canal in the bill. Tin-so J
I hiugs wore enough to arouse the sus- (
picion that the. adn.inis:ration was not
act ing in good faith. It is said tlmt the
failuro of the < anal Commission to
make a pr. liiniuary report was owing I
to a hint from the administration. Perhaps
boss lianua thinks of Vorkiug the
Panama Canal company for a big campaign
eontrilmt ion. At any rate, it is
well known that tlxo bill just passed by
the House will not be acted upon by the
Senate at t his scssiou.
Captain Chadwick lins found out that
the protect ion extended tollear Admiral
.'amps >u by the administration does
not include all of tsampson's friends.
Secretary Poult's letter ie. -i:i e-ubt
Chadwiek?tin* second time withiu a

Hear Admiral Schley w.m about as
stinging a document as wasevcrscnt by
a secretary of tho Navy (<? aa oilicer; !
but tho universal verdict is that Chad- ,
wick got no mure tlmn lie deserved.
Senator Jewell, of Now Jersey, has (
more nerve than most of tie- lvepubliran
Senators on tho trust question. His
Republican colleagues work for the
trusts 011 t ho quiet, but ho had the audacity
to say in a speech on the lioor of
the Senate that the Standard t>i 1 trust '
and the sugar trust were public benefactors.
A few more benefactors like ,
thoin and there will be no more trusts. (
Benefactions of lliosort they bestow contain
tho germs of revolution. Senator
Pettigrew presented figures showing
that neither of the trusts named by Mr.
Sewoll had done anything which was
not directed toward the crushing out of
competition and the increase of their
own profits.
From every direction cornea the
strongest ovidenco that the Republicans
have a hard fight before them. Nobody
realizes this any better than Boas llanua,
and he is frank enough lo say so. That
there is a general revolt against tho policies
ami practices of the MeKinley ud- '
ministration is certain, although its
strength is us yet uncertain. Mr. IC. J.
Jackson, a business man of Fall Iliver,
Mass., has heo". showing his Washington
friends a letter written him by a
prominent citizen of Massachusetts,
from which the following is quoted:
"Front this distance it looks as though
the game of national ]>olitics is going ,
to be a hard one for President MeKinley
to play this year. The coining of the'
lloer emissaries seems likely to stir up a j
hornet's nest among the Irishmen and I
the Herman Dutch sympathizers of the
Poors in this country. The longer
the war continues the stronger the
American sentiment seems to grow
against. England." Mr. Jackson says
of the political outlook: "The Republicans
are going to have trouble in New
laigland." Tliero are 21 jjrwit; many
eauses to which this rail he attributed.
Yes; and they are going t? have trouble
in all the other sections of the country,
and they are only going togot what they
deserve.
llill Arp, in one of his recent letters,
alludes to the martyrdom of the youth,
t-ain Davis, who gave no his life rather
than break his word and betray a not he;,
and e\presses the wish "that every boy
in the Southland knew of the sad and
glorious deal h of this hero." Tennessee
intends to perpetuate the name and heroism
of this brave youth, and tho legislature
has a ut hori/.od the location of
a monument to Sain Davis within the
capitol grounds, and a committee has
selected the site on the most fitting and
unique promontory within the beautiful
enclosure. The figure of Sam Davis
011 the monument will he of heroic size,
clothed in his Confederate gray jacket,
witli trousers tucked in cavalry boots,
just as worn by the martyr when ho]
bravely mot hisdeath. Sam Davis, was
a youth of Tennessee who, like many
another of her hoys, went to war in lXUl
for il line 11 ml frieiiil< i?t lii'C !?.?
wus tried as never soldier won, and
through his trial lives, and the wonderful
story of his life will, regardless of
sectional lines, stimulate men and women
to suerilice ft?r truth and principle.
Yonng Davis belonged to Shaw's Scouts, ;
who, under orders from General Cheatham

ho greater distinct ion, that ho i
ivas offered lifo and liberty under cou-j

declined. As Davis vrent to Iris
loath, immunity was offered him if ho
would toll who gavo him tlio papers
found on his person. Ilis captain, Shaw,
had given thorn to him, and was than
in the same prison at. l'uhiski. Ho refused
to purchase his own lifo at the
price of another's.
Tho American citizen of the finest
type is essentially a man or woman of
simple character, ami tho effect of our
institutions and mode of thought, when
tightly appreciated, is to produce simplicity.
The American is free from the
glamour or prejudice which results from
mie conscious or unconscious iunuc:ioo
C the lay figures of the old political,
social, or rolijfious world; from the glamour
of royally and vested cnsle, of an
established or dominant church, of aristocratic,
monkish, or military pri\ ilege.
I-Io is neither impelled nor nllured to
-abject the liberty of conscience oropiniouto
the conventions appurtenant to
theso former forces of society. For
him the law of the state, in the making
cf which he has a voice, au<l the authority
of his own judgment are the only
arbiters oT his conduct, lie accords
neither to fineness of race nor force of
intellect the right of aristocratic exclusiveness
which they have toooften hitherto
claimed. To the cloistered nun he
devotes no special reverence; ho sees in
the haughty and condescending lino
gentleman an object for the exercise of
his humor, not of servility; lie is indifferent
to the claim of all who bv ivn
<on of snlf-cougratulsit ion or siucicut
usr >m sirrogato to themselves special
[?rivileg< s 0:1 earth or special privileges
in heaven. This temper of miinl, when
unalloyed hv shallow conceit, begets a
pilot self-respect ami simple honesty of
judgment, eminently serviceable in the
struggle to live wisely.
To the best, citizens of every nation
the most interesting and vital of nil
ipies; ions is, what we are. hero for, what
men and women are seeking to accomplish,
what is to l?e the futureof human
development. For Americans of the
best type, those who have learned to be
reverent without losing their independence
and without sacrifice of originality,
the problem of living is simplified
through the elimination of thciufinoncc
of those symbols ami conventions. Their
outlook is not confused or deluded by
the spccions dogmas of caste. They
perceive that the attainment of the
welfare and happiness of the inhabitants
of curth is the purpose- of human
struggle, and that the free choice and
will of the majority as to what is
best for Immunity as a whole is to he
the determining force of the future.

Mr. Robt. A.'P. Merritt is an honest
iiiid industrious old farmer living about
1 mile west of Fort Mill. Everybody
knows hiiu. Ho came into our store u
few days ago as happy as a liftlo child.
Ho says, " Do you remember that sample
box of salve you gave me some time
ago? "Well, I used it and came back and
bought nu. a twenty-live cent package
and it has cured nio of a running sore I
have had oil my chin for nineteen
years." Just think of it! Mr. Merritt
says during all that time the sore bad
emitted mat tor with such a horrible
odor that times he could not sleep and
it had ivj>eatedly been pronounced incurable.
Ho asks us to publish this for
he is proud of tho cure and any of our
