This question ist be met now or not at all." Taking n~p the subject of impt l ism,* Mr.,,Bryan said that the si.. dent has misinterpreted the s ti ment of the. people. They ar p ~posed to..giving the Philippi~n is.. ' ida. .back to 'Spain, but they ve ~not as yet declared in favor of ii barking on a colonial policy. So ;greait a change, ho said, could lot be undertaken without more inv ti ..1t64'aDd deliberation than the Je had yet given to the subj ut. 'K principal part of Mr. B3ry.na's .'aoch gvas dlevoted to the Philip ine ~estipn. In this connection ho ro lorred to President McKinley's in quiry, "Whbo will haul dlown the fly~g ?" and replied: "The .fhvaia nationeil emblem and is..obedient to the national will. It ~'as made 'for the people, not thk, people for the flag. When th~ American people want the flag raise~ Jhey raise it; when they wanti .~anled. down, tJNy haul it doiwn. Th~ "flag Zwas raf ed upon Canadian soil durying the war of 1812, and it was haued -down whon peace was' rol stored. -The flag was planted( upo~ -Chapultopec during, the war wvith 'Mexico, and it was hauled dowA when the war was.over. The morry ing papers announce that Goneral Lee ordered the flag hauled down in ba yesterday, because it was rained too soon. TJho flag will beo'raised in Cuba again on the first of January, but the Prosident declares in his message that it will bo hauled down as soon as a stable government is establisbed. Who will deny to the people the right to haul the flag down in the' Philippines, if they so desire, when a stable government is established thero? "Our flag stands for an indissoluble union of indestructible States. Every State is, represented.. by a star and every t6rritory sees in the constitu tion a star of hope that will some day take its place jn the constella tion. What is there in the flag to awaken th(, zeal or reflect the aspira. tion of vassal colonies which are too go6c to be cast away, but not good enough to be admitted to the sister hood of States. "Shall we koop the Philippines and amend our flag? Shall we add a new star-the blood star, Mars-to indicate that we have entered upon a career of conquest? Or shall we borrow the yellow, which in,1896, was the badge of gold and greed, and paint Saturn and his rings, to sug gest o carpetbag government with its schemes of spoilation ? Or shall we adorn our flag with a milky way com posed of a multitude of minor stars, representing and insignificant de pendencies? "No, a thousand times better to haul down the Stars and Stripos ind substitute the flag of an independ ent republic than to surrender the doetriies that give glory to "Old Glory." It was the flag of our fathers in the years that are gone; it is, the- flag of a reunited country to. day; let it be the flag of our nation in the years that are to come. Its stripes of red tell of the blood that was shod to purchase liberty; its stripes of white' proclaim the pure and heaven born purpose of a gov enment which derived its just pow ore from the consent of the governed. iloic mission of that flag is to float, not .over a conglomeration of com nionwealthA, but over "the land of the free and the home of the brave," and. to -that mission it must remain, "forever true-forever true." PAYING THE OUrAN SOLDIERS. Three Millon Diollsra Lying Lotte that Mity be Approprimfaed to this Purpose ir the President Approve#. Washington, December 28.-Ne gotiations are progressing in the matter of the payment of Cuban troops, so that on laying down their arms they may be enabled to enter Ipon civil pursuits and earn their iving. Probably no further appro Priation by tongrefss will bq neces sary to enable ,the President to carry 'out the plan if it should he decided, as it probably will be, to advance money, charging it against the rev onnes of Cuba, to pay the Cubamr part of the money due themn for theit services in the Cuban at-my. Thiu debt is not an obligation rest .~ upon the United States, but is om for which the Cuban Governmnen will be obligated on. its establish ment. on an independent basis, pond ing 'the estniblishment of a per mnanent government there is n< authority responsble for the pay merit of these soldiers, and uin less this ggvornment advances th< money as a loan they will have to g< for an indefinito pieriod without pa2 for services alre~ ady' rer dored in thi war for independence. The specia deficiency approp)ri ation 1)111 carriel an item of three million dollars as ni emergency fund, which the Govern ment may use for any purpose, an< the idea,.is to advance the money fo the payment of the Cuban soldier out of this fund. It is understood however, t'hat the President has no yet consented to this arrangement. A Dliplonnat. (PljilaclIlph ia Record.) "Young, man," said the lady witi the b)eauitiful diamonds, :"do you.

I'From tie Lexington Dispatch.J The Stato Legislaturo will assom ble in annual session in Columbia on January 10th, and during this session a Superintendent of the Ponitentiary will be elected to succeed the present incumbent, Col. W. A. Neal. For this office there are numerous candi dates, coming from almost every sec tion of the State, and in the result of which this county is directly and deeply interested, because, for the first time since 1876, she will present to the Legislature a worthy and honored son-onj who has proven true to his state and country in time of war and peace-for this position, and ask for him the support of her sister counties. We have nothing to say against the other candidates who aspire to this office. They doubtless are good and true men and if elected would prove competent to discharge its duties with honor and cred;t, but we do contend that when all has been and can be said in their favor they cannot surpass the cle.ims of Col. D. J. Griffiith, Lexington county's cand idate for State Superintendent of the Penitentiary. Col. D. J. Griffith, the present Senator for Lexington, was born in Newberry county, near Helena. At the tender ago of two years his parents moved to this county, where he has over since resided and by his upright walk, affable manners and kindness of hand and heart has won his way to the love and esteei of his fellow-citizens. His early days were spent on the farm, where the foundation of his noble character was laid and though the privations and struggles and hard ships incident to farm life in those (lays acquired a business knowledge which in after years was destined to crown his undertakings with success and marked him as a man among a thousand, and one to be trusted and in whom the utmost confidence could be placed. A man of sound judgement, uniurpassed business qualifications and fine executive ability, be is pre-eminontly fitted to discharge the duties of the office to which the people of this and other counties dsiro to havo him elected. At the breaking out of the civil war he willingly sacrified himself and his interest upon the altor of his State and offered his services in the defence of the honor and integrity of his boloved country and at the age of 16 years lhe entered the Confederate service as a private in Company C. (Col. WV. D. D)eSanssure's) 15th regi mont S. (I. V., General Kershaw's brigade. For conspicuous bravery and gallantry on the battlefield in the presence of the enemy he was elected lieutenant of his company in 1862, and was often detailed to comn inand different companies and acted as adjutant mi the absence of the latter. Such was his faithfullness, prompt,ness and bravery that when the 7th and 1 5th regimonts were consolidated he was appointed cap-. tain of his company, in which posi tion he served until, overpowered by numbers, the Stars and Bars were furled and the sad words, "Lost Cause," were wa lten upon the palge of history. .His men loved him as r brother and- followed him uncom plainingly wherever ho led thorn r counting no peril too severe, n< 9 danger too great, nor no hard.ship tot Strying when he was in command. t' During his military career hi served with grent distinction, gal lantry arid bravery in the battles o the Second Manassas, Sharpsburg Booneboro, F redericksb)urg, C han cellorsville, Gettysburg, Chicka 2 mnanga, Knoxville, Bean Station I Wih'erness', S3pottslvanmia, Cold Hiar bor, Deep Bottom, Charlestown e Strassburg, Cedar Creek, Petersburg Avorysboro and Bentonvileo, in all o f which his fearlessness and brillian y dashes won the admiration of hi superior officers. At the battle o a Oharlestown his presence of mim I, and promptness saved the life c 0 Capt. Press Brown, who was en and in n hand to hand1 nnaannen with a Yankee captain, and cap. tured the Yankee officer's sword. When the bloody conflict was over Captain Griffith returned to his desolate home, made so by the rav ages of war, to again take up the broken threads of his private life and with indomitable will, daunt. h-ss courage and unflinching energy he resumed his farming operqtions; but he was not to remain long in the shad,s of private life. His people had learned tW love him and as a token of their love and confidence, and, in recognition of his executive ability, they pressed him to serve them as Clork of Court for Loxing ton county. After serving as such for four years, he was again nomi nated by the County Democratic Convention for the same oflice, but much to the regret of the people of the entire county, he declined the nominatioh on account of his pri vate business together with his love for farm life and esumed his farm ing and moroantili huiiness at Suni mit. He continued in these pursuits until 1883, when he was induced to accept the office of County Treas uror, in which capacity he satisfact orily- served for four Urms, being nominated each time in primary eloctions, in which he received about 3 votes to 1 for his opponents. In 1897 he resigned this offico to take his seat in the State Senato. This is the incomtparable war and politi cal record of the man whom Lvxing ton county puts forward for the of tice of'Superiutendent of the Stato Penitentiary and confidently appeals to her sister counties for their sup port in his behate. When enough camps of O'iifodo rate Voterans had been organized in this county to form a regiuent' the old gray-haired veterans turned to him for their leader, and he was practically elected colonel, in which capacity lie is now sorving. Lnxington county has heretofore asked no favors at the hands of the State Democratic party. She has been contented to give hindsome Democratic majorities and has un complainingly given her earnest and undivided support to the nominees of that party. She was among the first of the counties to throw off the yoke of Radicalism, and thus earned the name of "The State of Loxing ton," which name she proudly bears until this day, and put herself in a position to assist other counties to redeem themselves. But no w the time has arrived when, according to tll the principles of fairness and justice, she asks at the hands of the State Democracy a favor, not as a reward for what she hats done or hopes to do, but as a fitting recogni tion of her devotion to Democratic principles, and that favor is the election of Senator D. J. Griflith as Superintendent of the State Peni tent iary, and in doing this the Leg islaituro will not only honor us but honor the State of South Carolina as well. Mrs. MtKirat'y. J. H. Marshall of the News and Courier draws this pen p)icture of the Pa ' 'ont's wife at Saturday night's bainq. .,t,in Savannah: 'At the head of thd huall, sur rountded by an escort of pretty wo ment in elaborate costumos, waus Mrs. McKinley herself, to me, by odds, the most pathetically attractive figure in the entire asemb)lage.
