selves by the absence Of the two Republicans
and one Democrat evenly divided politically.
which caused feeling Of dissatisfaction on the
part Of at least two Of the Republicans, and
there was but little disposition manifested to
begin the business.

columbia (Caldwell Pnrishl Herald


week or two ago we published an article
upon this subject setting forth tho scuryy treat
ment the country press received at the hands OF
tho late Legislature. That Legislature not con-
tent with cutting down the price Of public
printing fifty per cent, refused to appropriate
the necessary sums to pay printing bills, even
ut their own low rates. The consequence OF
this was that the newspapers Of the State got
scarcely anything for work faithfully and hon.
eetly done We do not desire TO weary cur
readers with reiteratiOn of old complaints. but
It IL our purpose to keep before the eyes Of the
Legislature, that will convene next month. the
fact that the Democratic party must keep
faith with the Democratic press. The country
press of this State has done yeoman work in
freeing II from the curse of RHdicalism. and

GRANT.
His Caucus for the Republican Nominal
tiOn-What Tie Desires.
Baltimore Sun

baltimore SUM-
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-A warm personal friend
of Con. Grant who is In constant communica-
ton with him, says that Gen Grant Is really
not anxious to have another term as President.
He has on several occasions expressed himself
very strongly in favor Of Senator COnkling. to
whom he is the most closely allied OF any OF The
prominent Republican politicians. Gen. Graut
has also mentioned two or three others. after
Mr.. Conkling. as men whom he would be glad
ia see rs the next Republican candidate for
President. Mr.. Edmund5 Is one OF these. and
MIR. Blaine Ii not. II can also be said on the same
good authority that the movements which are
now quite active in certain quarters IN Gen.
Grants behalf have not been undertaken by
reason Of any consulate II with or prompting
from him. Yet of course, it Is an UNDERSTOOD
thing that II Gen. Grant should be nominated
by the next Republican convention he Will accept
the nomination. 1t was stated several weeks
since in this correspondence that Gen. Grant
and Mr.. ConklinR would be in perfect accord In
this matter. and that neither would stand In the
way of the other This statement WAS based on
formation has sirengIhened its reliability. In
the last week several publications nave appear
ed in various quarters assuming TO give Mr..
Conkling's position In regard to the next Presi-
dency. In one of these Mr.. Conkling Is repre-
nanted as saying that he would not be a candi-
Grants nomination This Is strictly correct IN
a certain sense. and yet false inferences are
likely to be drawn from it. Mr.. Conkl1ng does
not consider himself candidate any more than
Gen. Grant does. aud there Will be nc, contest
be .ween them. but neither will decline the nom
ination If a majority Of the convention declares
for him. Mr. Blaine Is steadily losing ground
and if the situation does not change very much
from the present outlook he will go into the
convention with only q scattering strength, or
none. outside of what New England delegations
he can control. The Southern delegations will
be either for Grant or Conkling.

Disabled Soldiers.

Washington, March 20.-The Board
managers of the National Home, for
disabled soldiers have been in session
for the past two days at the office of the
office of the surgeon general. The sec
retary presented his annual report which
showed that over s, 900 disabled soldiers
were cared for during the year, being
over 1000 more than during '7G. The
total average cost of keeping each man
during the year was 1925, being $50
less than for the year '7S, and a saving
to the government of nearly 500, 900.
There has been decided Improvement
in the conduct and morals of the men,
and numbers of the dishonorable dis
charges less than ever before. 1t ap-
peared that more than Q, 900 of the men
did not, during the year, commit sim
gle offense or violate single rule or
regulation of the homes. The Board
authorized the improvements, looking
to the increase, usefulness and efficien-
cy of the homes and making neces-
sary appropriations.

Surrender of insurgents.

SURRENDER OF insurgents
Havana, March 20.-Sixty insur-
gents with arms, 151 unarmed, 11S wo-
men and 134 minors surrendered in the
jurisdiction of Holguim. Prominent
Cubans at meeting on Tuesday at
Mr.. Farrel's residence, unanimously
adopted resolution that the natives of
Cuba should make some public mani
festation in reputation of the recent
meeting of Cuban refugees in New
York, and declare their hearty agree
ment in and support of the terms of
peace.
The official surrender of the insur-
gents forces of Los Villas was COM
pleted yesterday. The territory is now
completely quiet. Those who presented
themselves are Major General Roloff,
Brig. General Maestro, three colonies,
eight lieutenant colonels, fifty-five Off
GERS and four hundred and forty SOL
diers, with about one hundred women
and children. The insurgent bands of
Bayamo, Mazanillo and Giguani had
already presented themselves on the Sth
inst, with Modesto Diaz, so that in
Holguim now all is pacified.

War Seems Inevitable.

London, March 20.-The situation is
unchanged. There is still dead lock
between Russia and England on the
basis of the congressional discussion.
The impression is gaining ground that
the difference is insuperable and many
confidently apprehend that war is the
only outcome. The public feeling at
st. Petersburg is represented as all one
way-in favor of hostilities against
England: A telegram from there says
the government seems yielding to the
popular clamor and that there is reason
to fear the worst. The British gov
ernment evidently fears that the result
of the present deadlock may be an
armed collision. The fleet has been re-
inforced and everything is being pre-
pared for instant action in case of ne
cessity.

eleven to-day O'Leary had completed

Albert Smith, of Chicago, has wa

books, that O'Leary will win. Smith
is fairly besieged by book makers. Car
roll, Livingston, James Gordon Ben

he beat Weston, are among his strong
supporters. At midnight over Is, ,0OO
persons were present. O'Leary was
