The North has lost millions by the Loss

relieved from the harsh and unscrupu-

There seems to be no end to the
doubts and tho changes which attend
the fortunes of Spain. Just rs the Carl
list cause is supposed to have been worn
out by fruitless battles, continued descr-
tions and long and hopeless suspense,
cable despatchcs bring Don Carlos to the
front and place Alfonso in the rear, with
the spectral of n republic rising up be-
tween them. It is now asserted that the
Alfonsist Government is too week to OBJ
tain the sympathy of those who lean
conhdingly to the stronger side, and
that Don Carlos has still formidable
army and wealthy friends to support his
cause. In the meantime the Cuban war
drags its slow length along, signalized
by cruelties and perpetuating oppres-
sions which civilization is ashamed to
own, but too timid to suppress.

The Buffalo Express is discussing the
proposed Tennessee negro emigration,
and is very severe upon the numerous
Radical papers which have earnestly ad-
vocated crowding the negroes in one
territory, md letting them shift for them
selves. 1t is strange that Republican
paper should fly so directly in the face
of the wishes of leading Republicans, in
Guiding President Grant, who have long
wanted to purchase an island like San
Domingo and send the negroes there, or
take them en- maSSc to Africa. The
White House organs at Washington have
advanced these ideas frequently, while
other Republican papers through the
country have openly expressed the hope
that all the negroes could be transferred
to Louisiana or South Carolina.

Secretary Belknap wrote letter to the
Governor of Texas. week or two ago,
relative to the killing of some Federal
soldiers by the confcderates of the Mexi-
can raiders on the Texas side of the Rio
Grande, and informed him that Presi-
dent Grant had determined to remove all
tho United States troops from Texas if
such thing occurred again. This an
nouncemcnt is the more astonishing,
when it is remembered how, in Louisi-
ana, not very long ago, the killing of a
Federal soldier from any cause whatever
was the signal, not for the withdrawal Of
troops, but for their rapid augmentation
for purposes Of intimidation. In Texas,
where there is necessity for troops on
the border, the President expresses the
determination to leave the people to
struggle as best they may with foreign
foe.

The failure of tho recent negotiations
with the Sioux Indians Mt Washington,
will compel the Government to use
greater vigilance to guard the Black
Hills reservation from the inroads of
parties who arc hanging about in easy
reach, like wolves around n sheep-fold,
ready to pouncc down upon their prey
rs soon rs the barricndcs are thrown
down. 1t is probable, judging from pre-
sent Appearances, that the Government
will not bo able to prevent the whites
from going in. If they 60 in, the Indians
will fight, beyond a doubt. AS soon rs
the fighting begins, the Government
troops will side with the miners, and the
Indians will go down into bloody
bankruptcy. This is the shape the cloud
seems to have.

How TO PRESERVE A BoouEr. Sprinkle
1t with water, then put into II vessel con-
tanning some sOnp-suds, which nourish
the roots and keep the flowers as good as
new. Take the boquet out of the suds
every morning and lay it sideways in
fresh water; keep it there minute or
two, then take it out and sprinkle the
flowers lightly by the hand with pure
water. Replnce the boquct in sonp-suds,
and the flowers will bloom ms fresh as
when gathered. The soap-suls need to
be changed every third day. BY observ-
ing these rules, IL bOquet may be kept
bright and beautiful for mt least one
month, and will last Longer in IL very
passnble state
The recent visit Of the Sioux and
Chcycnnes to Washington is not regarded
ut the Interior Department rs failure,
many points of interest, it is claimed,
having been gained. The Indians now
fully understand that whatever provi-
sions they get from the Government are
gratnities. and that the Government is
not bound to feed them by any treaty
up the Black Hills without further con-
sultntion with their people; but although
they dislike tho idea. they are now i'm
pressed with the fact that the white man
is bound to go there if there is any gold.

The President has given Sitting Bull n
handsome rifle. AS these Sioux nrc in n
highly combustible condition about the
recent conference, and will return home
to moro combustible and fighting bre-
thren, Gen. Grant seems to be delibe-

The Mexican Government does not np-
pear to be taking any action with re-
ference to General Cortinn, who WINS
summoned to reportat the Mexican capi-
tal to the War Department not long ago,
but positively refused to do so. Cor
tina, while recognized General in the
Mexican army, is the leading spirit of
the banditti Of the border, and his power
and influence are such that it is extreme
ly likely his own Government is afraid of
him. He is man of blood and vio-
lence. who is anxious to precipitate n
difficulty between the two republics, so
that he can derive from hostilities the
usual advantages to which thieves and
cut-throats help themselves amid the
smoke of battle.

Mn. EDTron: Would You please grant
q "true Republican" few lines in your
paper to express his own opinion, un-
biased by the present popular idea, viz:
Reform, lfor the writer Of this was a
strong advocate of reform when the pre-
sent reformers were silent advocates of
the past plunderers and thieves.) What
wish most particularly to bring to tho
public notice, is this: That it seems very
strange to me (who voted for D. H
Chamberlain) that the Union- Herald,
which, only a few weeks ago, criticized
so very harshly the Judges of this State,
for allowing the bnr to pass honorable
resolutions in their favor, should, rs the
mouth-piece Of the present Administra-
ton, bo continually filling its columns
with nothing but praises of the Admi-
nistration. Now, don't think it fair,
for two reasons: 1. subscribe to the
CniOn-Uernhf ns Al netos-paper, and wish
to get from ii Cf possible) the news of
the day. 2. l don't think that d. II.
Chamberlain's administration requires
so much putting, rs it is so far success
and speaks for itself And, further, I
don't think any man ought to be re-
wardcd for doing his duty-for that is
the reason why voted for him; and if
could have thought otherwise, and the
balance of the honest Republicans, we
would not have voted that way. Thi,
and nothing more. OLD FRIENDS.

The Growth OF TEXAS. Few people
realize how rapid has been md how
rapid is the growth OF Texas that great
empire of the West The history of
some of the cities Of that State reads like
n chapter from the Arabian Nights or a
sketch from Baron Munchuusen. Take
the town of Houston, for instance. In
1870, the city had n population of 1882.
\ census taken by order of the munich
pal authorities was completed few
weeks ago, and the population is now
70, 96S-an increase in five yeurs of
900, or 200 per cent. The growth OF
the indebtedness of the city has also kept
pace with the growth of population
and Houston now betsts bonded debt
of 81, 500, 900, or $50 per head for each
inhabitant. However, this sum is less
in proportion than the deLts of mnny
other Southern cities nearer home, and
the town has certainly something to
show for its money

A New York letter, of Sunday, says:
1t is quite possible that verdict in the
Bcecher case may be reached by Friday
evening next. Mr.. Beach said this
morning if Mr.. Evarts wound up by
noon on Tuesday, he could say all lie
had to say by Thursday noon. The
Judges charge, it is safe to say, will be
brief, and may be disposed of say by
Friday noon, and that will give the re-
mainder OF the day to the jury. AS the
climax approaches each side appear to
favor, bnt people who are identified
with neither side appear inclined to
think that the result will be non.agrce-
ment. In tho event Of acquittal, promi-
nent Plymouth Church people say they
will give the great defendant such an
ovation as no man ever had in Brooklyn
before

OFF FOR BUNKER HILL.-The Washing
ton Light Infnntry, of Charleston leave
for Boston to-day, to take part in the
Bunker Hill Centennial Celebration on
the 18th instant. Before leaving the
company will be presented with n hand
some State flag, made of blue silk, the
gift of Gov Chamberlain. This flag will
be carried to Boston and presented to
the lst Regiment Of that city. which pre-
sented the Washington Light Infantry
with handsome stand of colors during
tho Easter fair held in Charleston some
two months ago. The flag selected by
Gov. Chamberlain will we'll bear Il de-
scription and explanation. 1t will be
remembered that the first Republican
flag ever unfurled in the Southern States
was blue field with white crescent in
the upper corner, next to the staff, and
was designed by Col. William Moultrie,
of Charleston, s. c., Mt the request Of
the Council of Safety. This standard
was hoisted in obedience to general
orders, on the Notifications of Charleston,
in September, 1775; and WIS displayed
on the East bnstion of Fort Sullivan, on
the 28th of June, 1776. The flag was
consented to victory on that eventful
day in our national history. Ever since

crescent has been universally recognized
as the colors of South Carolina; the Pal
metto tree being added in honor of the
Palmetto log fort, whence the intrepid
Moultrie and the gallant jasper fired
their conqnering cannon. This, then, is
the popular State flag. For its present
high service it has been made OF the
heaviest banner silk. On the one side is
the silver crescent on the blue field, the
Moultrie ing. On the other side, on a
white field, is the Palmetto tree, with
the State motto, Dunn Spiro! Spero! in
golden letters. The embroidery has
been most delicately done. The cord
and tassels are Of blue and white silk,
the staff is of polished walnut, with II
silver spear-head, and on silver shield,
on the staff, is the following inscription: /:
Tho State of South Carolina to the
Washington Light Infantry, juno, 1915. "

between animate and inanimate dust Wri-
tiers of distinction n both Roman and Protes-
tant churches have indicated that the hypOthe-
sis of evolution may be held without any de-
NAL of the truths Of Revelation. Besides, the
traces of some such notion, existing IN Ialmu-
die, classic and patristc lore. competent schol-
ars hold that the idea of evolution not only IN
the successive periods of the Genesis but IN the
progress from lower to higher ferns culminat-
ing in man, is readily reconcilable If not IN the
strictest accordance with the original Script
ures. While it is clear, further, that as the
manifestations of an ever present Divine pow
er, it is equally compatible with belief in an
omnipresent God. The value of the hypo:he-
sis, then, is question to le decided by scien-
tifc evidence. 1t is my privilege to know
many scientists Intimately. and to find them
men Of the very highest chaacter ana purpose.
But in dealing with men, certainly with young
men, the question Of personal rellglon-at
times deeply interesting to them is 10 be con-
sldered apart from the discussion OF such SCI
entihc theories as require years OF investigator
before competent conclusions can be reached.
May we not III our pastoral pursuits wisely

ish Government borrowed money by selling
annuities on lives from infancy upward, on
the basis Of the average longevity. The Trea-
sury received the price and paid the annultes
regularly as long as the annuitants lived. The
contract was mutually satisfactory and pro-
itable, Ninety seven years later Mr. Pitt used
aaother ontine, or scale of annuities, on the
basis OF the same expectation as IN the pre-
vious century. The latter annuitants, how
ever, lives so much longer than their predec-
essors that it proved to b. very costly loan
for the government. The average Lie OF the
annuitants OF 1893 was 26.5 years, while those
OF 1880 lived SO years and nine months atter
they were 80 years old.
In tact civilization itself 10, IS one
sense, simply the power OF human IN
telligence to overcome the antagonlstlc
forces OF nature. Hence the myth OF
Hercules overcoming dragons, and lions
navigating oceans. is simply the dim re-
membrance of tie aggregate triumphs
OF some ancient race, typifed as man
and afterwards deified as a God.
In modern times the development OF
medicine and su gerry, has added to the
length Of human life; the decrease OF
wars; the abundance of food consequent
upon the colonization of new and fert:l lie
lands the preservation Of order through
improved forms OF government, have all
tended to the same result, The growth
of the white race during the last three
hundred years, has been one OF the mar
wells OF human history. But its growth
Tor the next three hundred years will be
such as to leave no portion OF the
carth's surface, capab of supporting
agriculture, without Inhabitants. 1t is
upon this extraordinary growth OF pop
uation, constantly Overlooking its estab-
lshed boundaries, that we must look tor
the settlement of our own State, Our
grand children will inhabit State num-
boring many millions Of people and

perhaps, not so far wrong, who declared
that the time would come when major
