UNION, S. C., OCTOBER 20, 1S?M.
Now that the censorship in tin*
Philippines is abolished, 111e navy
seems disposed to claim n little cred
It- for itself.
Mr. JIanna shines beet in the role
of business manager, as his lato ? \pericncc
in being "interviewed" eas .
ily proves.
"Manifest destiny" is receiving severe
wrenches by the recent exposures,
showing the inside history of
the peace negoliations with Spain.
Knglund Enters upon tlie war n
the Transvaal with the sentiment of
the whole civilized world against her
She la entitled to no sympathy no
matter what disasters follow.
We learn from our correspondents
and from other sources that the farn era
throughout the county are making
preparations to give wheat a
fair showing. The Times has Leon
pulling hard for whnat and we are
pleased to cote the effects.
Congress should abolish the law
allowing prize money to the navv.
The spectacle of Admiral Sampson
claiming the lion's share of the prize
not an inspiring one.
The Administration should remember
that Captain Carter was
convicted of conspiracy to defraud,
and that a man cannot conspire by
himself. W hat is to become of the
others? Turn on the light, and htw
to the line, let the chips fall where
they may.
Nobody will think the less of Win.
J. Bryan because when a hard-up |i
young man in 1S80 he was more at- 1
fcracted by the salary attached to the <
oflRee of Secretary of the Nebraska I
State Board of Transportation than (
by any imaginary honor attached to i
that picayune position. Jle cannot i
be blamed for needing the salary of c
the office, nor for accepting what ho a
wan entitled to in the way of salary. <
Since the recent order of the Pros- v
Ident "broke the buck of the civil
survive luw ' by opening anew thousands
of places for appointment to
placos through political influence _
instead of merit, it is n ?t surprising y
that the politicians of his parly in tl
his own state and in his interc t ,
hould seek to further beat the ia>\
by requiring contributions from office
holders. !n

The "Republican pnjets are busy
inventing reasons of more or less
plausibilitv for the refusal of President
MeKinlej to do anything to
avert the threatened war bv the English
monarchy on the Transvaal 11onublic.
It is oven said that the State
Department is highly indignant at
'lie expression of a belief by C'oi^nl i
Pierce of the Orange Free State,
that the refusal was because of tbe
Administration's "sympathy" with
Englaud. And yet the ex;iet language
used in conveying the refusal
>f the President was that "the inti.mate
relations existing between
Great Britian and the United States
! forbade him to interfere in the momen
tons issue." That language in.
titnates not uierc'.y "sympathy," but
almost that alliance that Secretary
Hay so verbosely denied existed.
