LAURBNS, S. C April??, 1808.
Tho Situation.
The war is on and tho campaign
open. This Is tho shapo of coming
ovents. Ouba may bo regarded as in
vested and ours. There will bo no
fighting at our sea-ports?heeauso thoy
must surrendor, (the Bpanlads) for the
want of supplies. U they give up
thoir Western possessions, there
Is nothing lofc them, hut to war
upon our commence. If however they
Tonturo Into Cuban waters with their
armod vossels and beat us at sea thoy
will be masters of tho situation and
hold their Western possessions. It
scorns to us that wo cannot land an
army in Cuhu unless wo know that the
seas aro ours our people would be
prisoners and starving on the island.
Should tho Spaniards hold to their
shores, our ships would hunt them on
tho coasts of Spain an.! blockade them
thoro. A few days must develope tin.
tactics.
The Roys.
Thoy are always brave ?but not
always wise. They know enthusiasm
thoy know not wisdom. The talk of
war rushes the blood ?runs them wild.
Friday night last the boys of the S.
C. College with drums and shouts went
in a body to tho Governor's Mansion
In Columbia and substantially pledged
their military service to their coun
try. Qov. Bllorbe accepted the de
monstration as a tender of their ser
yices for the war. But College boy art
not to light this war. Only men and full
grown mon. Tho Governor is a younj
m in himself and easily carried olT his
feet; ho should have calmed the boys.
Thoy are mere lads. Men in the world
and ovor twenty-ono must tight it out
for the honor of the flag. Men, and the
older tho bettor if they aro to die.
This is the law of the caso.
Who "Hit tho Fit si Lick/"
Both parties to the trouble niado an
ofTort to place the responsibility upon
tho others shoulders?Congross nnd
tho President signed tho resolutions
and doliverod tho ultimatum?Spain
closod diplomatic relations, and it is
war. When the Muse of history set
ties tho point of right or wrong?but
it won't matter.
A Clear Non Sequltcr.
First. You have behaved outrage
ously and inhumanly in starving your
people.
Second. You blow up our vossol and
k'lled our sailors, 200.
Therefore, wo set your island frco.
This 13 not a logical or honest conclu
sion, From the premises the conclu
sion should lead: We will avenge:
Wo will sink your ships and take pos
session of your island.
Tho volunteer force will be called on
to servo the country abroad if neces
sary. Those with tho regular army,
tho organized militia or poaco soldiers
will bo tho "homo guard" and servo on
our consts. As thoso will simply bo
on a picnic and oyster stew, it is un
derstood thoy m ly join the voluntocrs
and have a chance for glory.
Conditions and not a theory con
front us in Cuba that have become un
endurable. Are we to suffer it, or is it
our privilege and duty to put a stop to
it? The American people, 73 000,000
strong, loss a thousand non-combatants
and torlos, have answered, and the
commander in chief of tho army and
navy dare not rofuso to obey.?Spar
tanburg Herald.
Yos, tho responsibility BCems
mightily distributed. Not long since
tho Jingo papers wore expecting the
ontire bllln to speak at once.
Senator Allen, of Nebraska dcolnr
od that ho was quite satisfied that un
dor tho present arrangement, tho is
land of Cuba would pass into tho
hands of "financial cormorants and
financial buzzards unless the, United
Htatos should at once take measures to
protect the island and its people"
That is to say, according to Mr. Al
lon wo aro to save tho Cubans from
Spanish rapacity, and then from our
own.
A Paradox.
Gallantry demands that tiio Hag bo
loyally sustained in all lands. But the
Quoen Regont is a protty young widow
and tho boy King only elovon.
Two Wars.
Tho war with tho Dons?tho war of
the Kopuhllcuns and Democrats as to
who shall handle, tho two thousand and
odd millions in running the Govern
ment from 1001 to 1005 inclusive.
Senator Tillman In a reported talk
to certain questions seems to suggost
that tho suggested! of tho Prohibs
may bo voted for in tho Democratic
primaries and thoir votes counted.
MILLIONS GIVEN AWAY.
It is certainly gratifying to tho pub
lic to know of ono concorn in the land
who aro not afraid to bo generous to
tho needy and suffering. Tho pro
prietors of Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and ('olds,
have given away ten million trial hot
ties of this great modlcino; and have
tho satisfaction of knowing it has ab
solutely cured thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarso

of Havanna and cannot |< agor be
