WHY? ' r THfc SHADOW OF THE SWORD, When the first excitement following Mr. Cleveland's re cent “war message” to Congress began to die down, the sober second thought of many of those who were ready to march on to Londdn began to asseit itself, the more so as the horrors of such a war and its apparent needlessness began to come home to them. There have been no developments in the matter since our last issue, if we ex cept the flurry which the war talk caused in Wall Street, and the tremendous fluctuations which took place in the stock market. The cotton market, of course, could not be expected to escape, and a decided decline in the price has already set in. While there can be no ques tion that the condition of things between the United States and Great Britain is about as serious as may well be conceived of, the issue having been squarely joined as the result of Mr. Cleve land’s message, we repeat that we do not believe there will be any war between the two conn tries. The issues that would be involved are too stupendous, the consequences that would fol low upon it too awful to admit of such a strife. The masses of the people of both countries are we believe, opposed to it, the cause is not one calculated to arouse in them any spirit of en thusiasm, and we are convinced that some peaceful solution will yet be found of the pending dif Acuity. Mr. Cleveland’s message wat particularly stiong, the strong est, in our judgment, he hat ever written (which is sayings great deal), and we do mt be lieve that the case could have had a stronger presentation than he gave it. Still, with all that -with the almost unanimous ap probation it received in both houses of Congress, and fron men ot all shades of political creed, with all the praise that has been showered upon it bj the press of the country, wt must confess, most deferential ly, that, after the most careful study, we ar* at a loss to see how the great principle involved the Monroe doctrine is applica ble to the question in issue. If we apprehend correctly the attitude of the people of theentire country, and of those of thi South in particular, they would have not the slightest heart in such a cruel, needless contest and they do not desire to see it come. Wk PERIPATETIC PRISONS, There is a clause in the new Constitution requiring a two thirds vote of th° county before its county seat can bo changed from one location to another On the third reading of the or dinance, Mr. Moore, a delegate from Darlington, endeavored to have it amended so that a majority vote would decide the matter, but without avail. And thus an end is put, in more counties than one that we could name, to the time-honored threat of changing the county seat for the purpose of spiting the town where it happened to be located. When the location of the pub lie buildings of a county could be shifted to gratify the passing whim of a bare majority, and when politics are as unsettled they have been lately in th Carolina, it would not ave been a bad idea to have built all our jails on wheels, so that they could have been car ried from place to place ad van tageously. Then, too,that would have been convenient for lynch ing parties, who would only have had to hitch up a team to a jaii and steal it away from iff altogether!
