Both houses of Congress have pass ed the annexation bill, and Hawaii is now a part of the Lnited States. Senator Tillman opposed the bill in the Senate, but it passed by a large majority. The l nited States has swung loose from her ancient rncor- ings and is embarking on a wi’d sea of conquest and expansion whose shoreless waters are lashed by many a tempest and in whops treacherous depths lies many a seeping volcano. The old land marxs have been rub bed out, precedents which, from long use, had con-« to have almost the force of erganic law, are brushed aside as useless or inapplicable, and the republic starts out on a new ca reer, under new conditions, with new Heals for the future and with some thing like contempt for the princi ples by which she has been guided in the past. Whether all this is but an exhibi- tiun of that pride which goeth before a fall, or whether in the march of events and the evolutions of destiny, the time has come for her to turn her back upon all the precedents and policies of the past, and go forth to battle for supremacy among the other nations of the earth, is now be yond the pale of human foresight and wisdom. The fact now before us and easily discernible is that the re public, moulded by Washington and Adams and Jefferson, and honored and adored by our fathers, is a thing of the past. Its wise economy, its broad benevolence, its jealous re gard for the rights of the humblest of its citizens, its pure and simple grandeur have all gone ami hence forth it is to act a part in an arena immeasurably wider and grander than any ever dreamed cf by the wisest and most prophetic ol its founders. Whatever may be the final outcome there is nothing in the immediate prospect that insures good to the private citizen and tai payer. The drift is towards European complica tions, immense standing armies, mighty fleets, military dominations, a centralized government, and untold billions of national debt to press like a nightmare on the toilers for bread. It is true that Hawaii has been ac quired by peaceable annexation, but the acquisition is a long stride into the Tacific, and will necessitate other steps. With the possession of Hawaii, the annexation by conquest of the Philippines becomes more de sirable. When the United States shall have grasped the Philippines with one hand and reached out with the other into the Atlantic and pull ed in the Antilles, will she be satis fied? Not, if the lesson taught by history ie worth anything in guiding us to a correct prognosis of the fu ture. Tiie history of nations proves that the taste for conquest, like the taste for blood, cun never be gratified by indulgence any more than the taste of the inebriate can be gratified by whiskey or the greed of the miser can be satiated with gold. But we are crossing the Rubicon. What lies beyond—whether a higher plane of civilization and a grander destiny, or sorrow, humiliation and disintegration—only God in his in finite wisdom cun tell. Let us hope that in the councils of Heaven the nation has been cornmis- ■ioned to strike loose the shackles of Ignorance ami superstition and to spread the light of truth over the earth; to carry freedom to the op pressed and hope to the disconsolate; and that through the horrors of war will come influences that will human ize and soften the hearts of men, and bring about that reign of pence and good will, the proapect of which once awoke the Heavenly symphony In which the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for Joy- / 0ns of the strongest discourage ments to a young man who really de sires to make something of himself, is the slowness of the world, some- times, to recognize and appreciate genuine merit; undone of the strong est temptations to idleness and dis honest pretensions, is the ease with which humbugs succeed. What’s the use of spending years of toil and study and privation, the young man thinks, in order to prepare himself for high position, when ft sham at one bound can leap to the top, and an ignoramus can bear away the prize? But, young man, remember that the prize of public approval is a poor, fllimey bauble after all, end though the whole world run after shams, you owe It to yourself and to your God, not to be a sham. One hour of deep, heart-felt self approval is worth more than a whole life-tire of fraud; one hour of proud conscious manhood is not to be exchanged for the shouts of tLe rabble, nor even for the applause of Senates. HAWAII. Some of our readers may wish to km w more of this country which has recently been admitted as a member into our family of States. Hawaii proper is only one of a group of eight islands, named by Captain Cook the Sandwich Islands, in honor of Lord Sandwich who was, at the time of their discovery, first Lord of the English Admiralty. The whole group, however, now takes the name of Hawaii, this being the principle island. These islands constitute a rich and beautiful chain running from south east to north-west and lying in the middle of the Pacific Ocean between the 10th and 22nd degree of north latitude. Their position then with regard to the earth’s equator is not very diflercnt from that of Cuba, be ing in the northern part of the torrid zone. The whole area of the group is 7,000 square miles, or a little over one-fourth the area of South Caro lina. Hawaii itself contains 4.8o0 square miles and hence is about equal in size to ten of our counties. It lies about half way between San Francisco in North America and Mel bourne in Australia and Canton in China, and so is distant over 4,000 miles from the nearest point on the American coast. It forms an oasis in the middle of a wide ocean waste and offers convenient stations for the refreshment and repair of ships that traverse the Pacific. The islands contain the largest volcanoes both active and quiescent in the world. There are two moun tain peaks over 14,000 feet in height and covered with perpetual snow, though right under the blazing sun of the tropids. There are other mountain ranges which traverse the island which give it a picturesque and rugged appearance, indeed, all of the islands of the group are greatly elevated, a circumstance which mod ifies the tropical heat and gives them a much finer climate than that of Cuba. There is one active volcano, the crater of which is three miles in diameter and is 0,000 feet above sea level. In the centre of this immense caldron is a red sea of lava always in a state of fusion. One curious fact about the native language is that it does not contain a single word that expresses the idea of weather, and this fact may be taken as evidence that extremes of heat and cold are unknown. There are valleys at the bases of the moun tains as rich as they are beautiful, and one of these is . t.:d to furnish pasturage for over 510,000 sheep. The variety of animals on the is lands is not great, the principal ones being horses, mules, dogs, ruts, bats that fly ;by day, and birds of beauti ful plumage, but for the most part, songless. The productions are sugar cane, bananas, plantain, cocoa-nuts, coffee, rice and whatever is indige nous to tropical climates. These are only a few facts in con nection with Hawii, which, us they say in public assemblies, may he re ceived us information. ENTRIES FROM OUR DAY BOOK WAR NOTES. As we go to press there are rumors to the effect that Kantiugo has sur rendered. The Kpanish commander offered to surrender the place several days ago, on condition that his army he allowed to depart unmo'asted, and there was an armistice proclaimed for negotiations. The Americans re jected the proposed conditions, de manding unconditional surrender. Gen. Miles Is on the ground with reinforcements; Hampson is ready to cooperate with the fleet, and If San tiago has not fallen, it is only a question of a little time when It will fall. Our losses in the battles before Accokoixg to Washington Irving, when your friends congratulate you on looking young, you may bo sure they think you are growing old. No body ever thinks of congratulating a young man on his young looks. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Advance sheets of Senator McLau- rin’s speech here on the fourth, were furnished the News and Courier, and that paper printed the speech on the fifth us a special from Spartanburg, where it claimed the speech was de livered. Is that a specimen of yellow j journalism? If not we should 'like i to know what its color is, whether white, bleck, blue, or a dirty brindle. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ In the name of a long-suffering and outraged people wo call a halt in the dirty, abusive and uncalled for po litical journalism now being con ducted by some of our contempora ries. Throw politics to the winds, let politicians paddle their own ca noes and use your influence, brethern. toward the uplifting of humanity and the improvement of mankind intel lectually, mentally and morally. ♦ ■♦ ♦ ♦ Gaffney and vicinity were visited lust Saturday with an old-fashioned down-pour of ruin—the heaviest that has fallen here in perhaps three years. Lands that were not well pro tected were considerably washed. The rains, generally, have been timely and abundant. The pros pects at this time for bountiful crops are about all that could be reasonably desired. The drought was a blessing in disguise. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We ttre glad to note that the town council are beginning to construct a sidewalk on a street in the suburbs leading to the old hotel at Limestone. We hope that this work will bo an easy step to more wor< In the direc tion of Limestone. Give us respecta ble sidewalks and streets, gentlemen, or move the center of your town where it ought to be, and put us out into the world to shift for ourselves. It is not right for you to tux us and then pay no further attention to us. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Nearly 1,000 Spanish prisoners have been brought to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, among .them Admi ral Cervera and about fifty other of ficers. Arrangements are being made for the officers at Annapolis, Maryland, where they will be made as comfortable as circumstances will permit. Admiral Cervera has proved himself to be a brave and generous foe and be has the respect and admi ration of every brave man in this country. There is uo danger but Santiago in killed, wounded and miss ing are officially reported to be 1,505. Tiio Spanish Ministry has resigned, and it is stated that the Queen Re gent is anxious for peace, on the basis of Cuban independence. The condition of Spain is desperate, and but for that strange fatuity which has always blinded the Span ish nation with false pride and false notions of honor, sho would sue for peace and trust to a generous foe for terms. Shehan, the deserter, has deserted again from his regiment at Chieka- niauga, but tliai will have no great effect on the issues of the war—not half so much as it will have on the is sues of life to Sheben. He will be shot this time, if caught, and he will bo very apt to be caught. THE VANISHED OIL MILT. About a week ago Gaffney had t.ie chance of an oil mill. Mr. F. S. Hunter of Simpsonville, a business man with ample capital at his com mand came here accompanied by some friends, for the purpose of lo cating one, and spent a day or two in the town. He was much pleased with the town and its surroundings and anxious to invest capital here. But the price demanded for a site for the oil mill he considered exorbitant and unreasonable, and he Lft to seek a location elsewhere. Last Monday he began to make bricks for his build ing at Woodruff and that little town is jubilant over the assurance that the mill will be running by October, circulating money among its people, imparting a new impulse to its life and industry, and bringing men of in' tellect and capital to mingle in its social life. Wo dont know whose property was offered Mr. Hunter here nor at what price. But we do know that it is a short-sighted policy on the part of property owners to demand prices that will prevent such enterprises from being located in our town. It is a policy that will defeat its own purposes and sting itself to death. “There is that which withholdeth find scattereth abroad.” that he will be treated with the re spect which is due to his gallantry and with the kind commiseration which is due to his misfortunes. “The Canteen” is a name given to an institution which seems to be flouiishing in the camp at Chicxa- maugu. It is nothing more nor less than a tent in each regiment where liquor is kept and sold, by authority as we suppose. It is astonishing that the army regulations of this en lightened nation will tolerate such a relic of barbarism. It is argued that if one regiment were to abolish the “Canteen,” others would not. and the money of the canteenless regiments would go to other regi ments—the same argument that eases the conscience of all liquor sellers, that if they don’t sell it others will. It is argued further that liquor can do no hurra in the army, where ir m are under perfect control and a. punished for getting drunk. W.- • not call it a temperance move- met.and put it in advance of the great moral institution, the State Dispensary? War is demoralizing enough without legalized whiskey. Th .t was a glowing and just trib ute, which Senator McLaurin in his speech at Gaffney on the 4th, paid to the private soldier. The man who voluntarily braves death for a princi ple and knows that his name will uever be sounded by the trumpet of fame, is inspired by a far loftier courage than the officer, conscious that the eyes of a nation are fixed upon him and that the voice of u na tion will proclaim his praise or pro nounce his condemnation. Our coi itry is rich in forgotten heroes. Their memories ought, to be revived as far as possible, and their deeds told again and again to this generation. In one of the battles around Rich mond, the Sixth South Carolina Reg iment was staggering under a terri ble fire; its colors had fallen to the ground and the color guard were slain, when private Johnson Estes, of Chester, snatched up the colors, rushed in front of the regiment and waving thotn defiantly in the face of the enemy, shouted, Hurrah! follow me. The daring fellow was immedi ately shot down, but, thrilled with the inspiration of his example, the regiment rushed over his dead body to victory. Will not the Chester Lantern have some one to write a sketch of Johnson Estes and rescue his name from oblivion? PRESS OPINION. Don’t kick at having £o pay the war tax; your money might be demanded or used for a worse purpose.—Bam berg Herald. * * * Personal abuse in a political cam paign should stop in South Carolina. The demagogue who attempts it should be run off the stand by the self- respecting people of our State.— Union New Era. * * * Cervera’s desperate dash out of San tiago’s harbor and its fatal denoue ment only furnished further prouf that the Spaniards are not afraid to fight and not afraid to die. They are simply not skillful at either.—Gas tonia Gazette. * * * The appointment of the officers of the second regiment, on the whole, will he accepted with satisfaction. We should have been better pleased if the Governor had appointed Mr. T iiouipson colonel of the regiment.— \Vinnsboro News and Herald. * * * The people who imagine that war was all glory and brass buttons with a slight admixture of blood and hard ship for the soldiers will realize when they begin paying for revenue stamps that while talk, is cheap it costs money to make war.—Watchman and South ron. * m * For the first time in its history the cigarette will perform u useful func tion. Ah we see our boys sucking away at the nauseous white rolls we can gather some slight satisfaction from the thought that each package is paying its share towards carrying on the war.—Anderson Intelligercer. * * * The Columbia Register advises “Spanish to be taught in all Southern schools,” would not it be better to teach English in all Spanish schools. Wo have learned them a few things probably they can learn the language. All court and governmental work in Cuba and Torto Rico should be in English.—Union Times. * * * With Cuba free, what will be her future? Let us hope that the people of that beautiful isle will not suffer the carpet bag sway of greedy ghouls like those who preyed upon Carolina’a political and financial vitals for the decade succeeding the' war. This will be the test of McKinley’s man hood.—Rock Hill Herald. KdnraroYour liitwoU With CitscMrcU. Candy Cathartic, cure constipation forerer. Idc, 29c. If C. C- C. fail, drug * i*u ref und money. Senator Tillman on the Race Question. IKinjpstrt'e County Kocord.) Senator B. R. Tillman delivered n striking speech in the Senate on June 30, on Hawaiian unexaiion, in which he called attention to the danger of incorporating more people of inferior blnod into the eitizrnshin of the United Slates. Ho further‘said that he would vote for annexation, if con gress would say in words, what it dots say in effect, that the Negroes, Chinese, Malays, Japanese, and other inferior races were incapable of seif government and therfeore unfit to be citizens of the United States. .Sain he,“The races are not equal, and never were. God never made them so, and while I subscribe to the doctrine that among the inalienable rights of man is the right of lift-, liberty and the pursuit of hapnines-, I declare my unalterable faith in th<- doctrine that the white race is superior to the colored.” Accepted. [Newspaper Owner,1 “You say you want my daughter?” said the proprietor of a newspaper to a young man who was sitting ner vously on the edge of a chair. “Y—yes, sir.” “Have you spoken to heron this matter?” “She—she referred me to you, sir.” “Is your affection for her sincere?” “Sincere!” gasped the young man. “I pledge you my word I haven’t slept a wink or eaten a mouthful for six whole weeks for thinking of her.” “George,” said the father after looking at him for a moment refieet- ingly. “I think you may come into the family. I need a young man of your capabilities to certify to the cir culation of the paper.” One of the Best Papers and Towns. [Greenville Mountaineer.] E. H.
