William J. Bryan on Expansion. - HE WILL FIGHT THE HEW POLICY OF IMPE? RIALISM. _ Smncib, Deo. 13.-Col. Wm. J. Bey ID, upon leaving bis eommtod :o?day, the Third Nebraska regiment; gave the following interview : "My reason for leaving the army wa? se t forth io my latter to the ad? jutant general ttaderisg my reeigoatibo. Now that the treaty of peaee bas been concluded, I believe that I eau be more Useful to my country aa a civilian than a soldier." Coi. Bryan then proceeded to the discussion of public questions, saying, '?The people cf the United States hav? ing reijcoed Coba from foreign COE tr ol, may sow resume the discussion of the desB?stie problems which cenfrons this nation, and tc the consideration of the sew questions arising ont of the war. "Ijoay ba in error, but in my judg? ment our nation is in greater danger jost ni-w ?ban Cuba. Oar people de? fended Coba against foreign arms ; now they wost defend themselves and their eoantry against a foreign idea-the colo? nial ide? of European nations. Hereto? fore greed bas perverted ?fae govern? ment and used its instrumental interferences for. private ga:,a ; but now she very foundation principles of our government are assaulted. The: imperialistic idea is directly an? tagonistic to the idea and ideals which nave teen cherished by the Ameraeio people since ?ne signing of the declara tioo of independence. Oar cation most f give up any intention of entering upon a colonial pol icy (such as is now pursued bj European countries) or it must aban? don tba doctrine that governments derive their jost powers from the eon* seat of the governed. "We may believe tb et governments cease mp from the people or we may be? lieve that governments come down to ?be. people from those who posses the heaviest cannons and tba largest ships, but ws cannot advocate both doctrines. "Ta borrow a Bible quotation, 4A boose divided against itself cannot stand ' Paraphrasing Lincoln's declaration, I may add that this nation, cannot endure barf republic and half colony--half free and half vassal. Our form of govern? ment, our tradition?; oor present in? terests and our future welfare al) forbid our coter tog upon a career of eon qa est. "Jefferson has been quoted in support of imperialism, hot our opponents must distinguish between imperialism aod espar sion ; they must abo distinguish between expansion in the western hemisphere and an expansion that in? volves us in the quarrels of Europe and the Orient They most still further distinguish between expansion which secures contiguous territory for future settlement and expansion which secures os alien races for future subjugation. "Jefferson favored thc annexation of necessary contiguous territory on the North American continent, bot be was opposed to wars of conquest, and expressly condemned the acquiring of remote territory " When asked bow the colonial policy - could be prevented, Coi. Bryan said : .?Some think that thc fight should be made against ratification of the treaty, but I would prefer another plan. If tbe treaty is rejected, negotiations must be renewed, and, instead of settling the question according to our ideas, we must settle it by diplomacy, with the possibility of international complica? tions. It will be easier, I think, to end tbe war at once by ratifying the treaty and then deal with the subject in cor own way. Thc issue can be presented directly by a resolution of congress declaring the policy of the nation upon this subject. Tbe presi? dent says in bis message that our only pvpose io tskiog possession of Coba is to establish a stable government and theo torn that government over to the people of Coba. Congress could reaffirm this purpose in regard to Cuba and assert the same purpose to regard to She Philippine islands and Puerto llieo. Such a resolution would make ? clear cot issue between the doctrine of self-government ?od the doctrine of imperialism. We should reserve ? harbor ?nd coaling station in Puerto Rico aod the Philippines io retorn for services rendered, aod I think we would be justified io asking the same conces? sion from Coba. "Io the ease of Puerto Rico, where the people have as yet expressed no deire for ao independent goveroment, we might with propriety declare our willingness to annex the island if the citizens desire annexation ; but the i Philippine islands are too far away aod their people too different from ours to ! be annexed to the United States, even j if they desired it." Col. Bryan leaves Savaonab to-night for Washington, aod will arrive there Wednesday afternoon. He intends to j eotor actively ioto the fight agaiost the j colonial policy. Io faot, it is evident i thal; this was the main cause that led to ' bis resfgoatioo. Successful Physicians?

"Against the Whole Earth," Manila, P. L; Dec. |6.-A few influential Filipinos, io an ambitions attempt at "c advance m eat, are clamoring for independence, though enable to realize its crae meaning The agitators here invariably admit that they would be unable to stand without American protection, Regarding the possibility of inter? national complications, Admiral Dewey said : "Previous to the arrival of the monitors, I felt uneasy, but now I am ready to hold this position against the who e earth." Madrid, Deo. 16 -A semi-official oote, issued to-day says; "As the American senate most ratify the treaty of peace before it becomes effective, cur government should wait for the ratification and not have to cede terri? tory which the United States senate may not accept." Charleston, Dec. 16.-Joho Harper, colorea, who killed Sandy Campbell, white, last spring in Chesterfield coun? ty, was hanged at Chesterfield court house to day. Unusual interest was taken io his case as it was the first banging in the county io 43 years, the last exeoutioo being that of a white man for forgery io 1855. Harper shot at another negro and killed a white mao by accident. Through the effort of bis attorney a respite of 30 days was granted with a view of getting s commutation of sentence, but Gov Ellerbe refused to commute.

The corporators represen the educational, social and business lift of the State, and the objeot of th Association is so worthy that failure ii its plans and purposes should b impossible. Io speaking of tbe abov laudable enterprise Tbe News ant Courier says "Timrod was, SB some o eis know, one of the sweetest singers o tbe South, and for nearly a' generation it has not been practicable to pocobas a. copy of his poems, except at ver; tig h prices. The edition which will b printed by the Memorial Aeeociatioi will be a popular edition ; will eon tai; a fine, lifelike portrait of the poet, ant will be sold at tbe low price of $1 50 It is boped that the newspapers o South Carolina, and the couotr generally, will aid the Association ii its work and encourage the undertak icg." Before applyiog for the charte a letter was written by the Charleroi committee to the presidents of th colleges io the State, requesting the us< of their names as charter members o the Association. There was an im me diste aod generous compliance with thi request, as the following brief notei from the letters received will show : President Woodward, of the Sou ri Carolina College : "I will do so witl great pleasure, fend shall be glad ti serve the cause of the Association ii any way that I cao." President Johnson, of the Winthroj Normal sod Indoatrial College : "I will give me pleasure to be enrolled ai a charter member of tbe Timrot Memorial Association.

A soldier in the Army of the Potomac was the terror of bis oompaoy, He was disobedient, oreel, quarrelsome, and vio ious. As a result, be was often terribly punished, but there was no reformation. In due time, by fortunes of war, a cap? tain from another regiment waa placed in command of that oompaoy. The very first day the orderly sergeant informed the captain of the terrible character of this incorrigible soldier. That after? noon the man perpetrated some of bis misdemeanors, was arrested by a ser? geant and brought before the captain. He looked at bim for a moment and speaking to the sergeant, said : "Let bim go to his quarters." "Shall I keep him noder guard?" in? quired tbe sergeant. . "Oh no," said the captain, quietly. That evesiog the captian called his sergeant, and said : "Go down to Mr. Blank's quarters and tell him to como op to my tent; I wish to see bim." "Shall I briog him op under guard?" inquired tbe sergeant. "Ob, no," said the captain. "Just tell bim to come. I guess he'll oome, if yon tell bim." In due time tbe soldier, stood ioside the captain's tent, oap io hand. He was of fine physique, brave, and daring "Take a esat, sir," said tbe captain. The soldier obeyed, bot looked defiance. The captain inquired of bis home, his relations, etc.. and then said : "I have beard ali about you, and thought I would like to see you pri? vately, sod talk with yon. You have been punished often-most times, no doobt, justly, hut perhaps sometimes unjustly. Bot I see io you the making of a first-class soldier-jost the kind that I would like co have a whole com? pany of ; sod now if yon will obey orders, and behave as a soldier should, and as I know you can, I promise on my honor as a soldier that i will be your friend, and stand by you. I do not want you to destroy yourself " The soldier's ohio began to quiver, and tbe tears trickled down bis cheeks. Then be said : "Captain, you are the first man to speak a kind srord to me in two years and for your sake Til do it " "Give me your haod on that, my brave fellow," said the captain, "I'll trust you." And from that day on there was not a better or more exemplary soldier io the Army of the Potomac. Love ooo* quered bim.-Christiao Work. Two Pointed Questions Answered. . What is the use of making a bettor article than yonr competitor if you CAC cot get a better price for it ? Ans-As there ia no difference in the price the public wiil boy. only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller OB a single sale they will be much greater in the aggre? gate. How can yon get the public to know yonr make is tbe beat V If both articles are brought prominently before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will rery quickly pass judg? ment on them and use only the better one. This explains the large sale on Chamber? lain's Cough Remedy. Toe people have been using it for years and have rouod that it can always be depended upon. They may occasionally take up with some fashionable novelty pot forth witb exaggerated claims, bat are certain to return to the one remedy that they know to be reliable, and for coughs, colds and croup there is nothing equal to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
