people of South Carolina, recently, ex
pressed himself as follows:
TO the People Of the State:
In Offering to our people my heartfelt
congratulations and gratitude for thu
grand victory they have won, l venture
to beg them to prove themselves worthy
of it by a continued observance Of gooC
order and a rigid preservation of peace
Let us show that we seek only the resto
ration Of good government, the return o
prosperity and the establishment Of har
mony to the whole people of our State
In the hour of victory we should be mag
unanimous, and we should strive to forge
the animosities of the contest by recall
ing the grand results of our succesd
Prescribing none for difference of opilI
ion, regarding none as enemies save sue
as are nimical to law and order let
all unite in the patriotic work of redcei
ing the State. by such conduct we cal
not only bring about good feeling among
all classes, but can most surely reap tho
best fruits Of victory.

1t will bc remembered that a few
years ago there was strong effort
made in various parts of our country
TO have Uncle Sam reach over that
narrow portion Of water that sep
arates the United States from the
West Indies, and lay his honest hand
and step his honest foot on to Cuba.
a little time preceding this it was
thought extremely necessary To have
q coaling station somewhere in these
islands. Particular reference was
had to portion Of uayt. and nego-
tiations were had to buy portion Of
this island, and this caused the break
between the President and Senator
Sumner. This scheme failing, it was
then thought that the whole Of Cuba
should be ours. 1t is well known
that there has been w.r in this island
for years, rebellion against the
home government, which has been
more q guerrilla warfare than any OF
this age, which are conducted more
scientifically. Spain has sent over
troops by thousands, and the terrible
climate has been tour-fold more de-
structive to the Spanish soldiers than
the Cuban bullets. At sometimes
Spain has been rent by civil war, and
has had all she could manage ut home.
But now she is quiet, and she pro-
poses to send over troops enough to
make quick work OF the Cuban rebel
lion. There Is no doubt that the SYM
pathy and private help that Cuba has
received from us has greatly prolong-
ed the war. They have long Hoped
and labored to have the United States
acknowledge their Independence
We shall soon expect to see lively
times in Cuba. But whatever may
come to her we certainly do not want
her. Our country is too unwieldly
now, we have hard work to preserve
our own equilibrium.

The eastern question seems yet tc

The result of the Presidential cleo
ton is still In Goubt, both parties
claiming the victory, and possibly it
may have to be decided by Congress.
1t is hoped by all good citizens that
this question may be settled without
trouble, that all parties will keep
