It gratifies ns to eee some earnest, firm southern newspapers against militarism and imperialism rak Dg McLaurin, the South Carolina sena tor who is hot for a change of gov ernment by a change of policy. His foolish, reckless declaration in his advocacy of the republican fad of imperialism, that ,:the statesmen who doubts or falt is is a demagogue; the Christian who doubts or falters is a traitor to bis God and his religion.'7 is not to be overlooked by any sound democrat who believes still in a republic in which ali citizens have a voice in the government. So false and blundering is the McLaurin out burst of demagogued and destruc tive froth that it provokes comment and rebuke The Houston Post has these plain direct words in comment : "There are hundreds of public men in this country today opposed to im perialism whose names will be immor tal on the pages of history as statesmen and patriots long after this effasive senator has been forgotten, and there are thousands of men and women all over this broad land who oppose this war of rapine and bloodshed that are models of Christain intelligence, and whose fidelity to God and humanity would be assurance doubly sure that no euch epithets as those used by Senator McLaurin will ever fall from their lips. Their hearts are sick of this useless bloodshed, and they want these people to have civil and religious liberty "Toe senator is mad-stark mad." -Wilmington Messenger. DEAD LOSS TO THE STATE Twenty-four recruits from Charleston county were received at the State prison Saturday, and are now wearing the uniform of an ignoble servitude The penitentiary authorities call attention j to a weakness of the law relatiog to convies.

Habana, Juiy 10.-Tbe board of agriculture of Puerto Principe bas appointed Senors Cardenas and Laaces a committee to visit Washington and ask for an appropriation for the province to enable it to purchase farming imple ments. Tbe Manzanilla rural police have captured Robinson Arito, an escaping outlaw. At Bayamo, 5.000 men are waiting payment. About 2,000 weapons have been delivered to the mayor At Bojucai two armed men hailed Julio Angulo, owner cf the plantation Santa Rosa, and ordered him to open the door of his house. He hesitated or refused and they fired twice through the window, whereupon he complied. The men were Maximo Rodriguez and Antonio, who eecaped from Boreal jail last month ; they bound Angulo, searched the house, secured $510, and, having ordered bim to bring an addi tional $500 to a spot designated within an hour, under threat to return and kill b.m, they left with the planter's horse, rifle and machete. A short time afterward the same men practically repeated the performance on the plantation Guijales, belonging to Fermin Diaz. There they obtained ten centimes. They went next to the adjoiniog farm, the property of Jose Gonzales, where they secured $10 and various articles of jewelry, finally disappearing untouched by the bullets fired from the raided houses after their departure. The mayor of Alquizar bas asked Gov. Gen. Brooke to cease sending radons to that point and to expend an equal amount io the purchase of farming implements ''io order that our people may earn their livelihood instead of being dependent upon alms whose regular arrival tends to encourage vagrancy and to destroy self-respect." Monthly Cotton Report.

Io South Carolina, Florida and Alabama tho condition corresponds exactly with tbe ten year averages in those States, in North Carolina and Tennessee, it is 1 point and in Texas 5 points above the ten year average, and io Georgia it is 3, in Mississippi 5, in Louisiana 4 and in Arkansas 7 points below the ten year's average. There was a general improvement during the month of June, Georgia and Oklahoma,, each with a decline of 3 points, being the only exceptions.

When she feii, mortally wounded, Donnelly leaned over and kissed her.
