st. Valentines Day now a-days seems to be
celebrated more by teas. dances and luncheons
in that jolly old heathen's honor than in the
little lace paper. doves, hearts, and rhyme
letters of few years ago. The comic valen-
tines are busy making fun of the bicycle girl,
the typewriter girl and the girl with big
sleeves; there are some of the old-fasioned,
sentimental, boxed-up missives to be seen in
tho stores, and candy shops have enticing arrays
of pretty hcart-shaped boxes-perhaps the old
Saint is being given as much attention rs usual,

For time ST least. now, there will be less
heard in Congress about the foreign policy OF

During the late war the confederacy made

li-ntd a government of its own and had
congress OF its own. Yet, even with tnat

have established what they term a govern

taat Or, s.Gent is in New York. Under the
laws OF IN, nations or international law,
the question will naturally ARISE as to
whether or not the United States should
recu ;,nize as Dtlligerents a body of insur-
gents who have no established government
in the country in which they arc in revolu-
ton.
France d.d not lnjurc herself with the
other nations of the world by her recogni-
tion Of the confederate government. Her
people may or may not have sympathized
with the confederacy. But France simply
accorded the seeding states the same
rights Of purchase which were accorded to
the United States government.
The sympathy Of the people of the United
States is almost unanimously with the Gu
ban patriots. Why. therefore. should not
the United States recognize az bellgeT-
ents the majority of the people OF the island
of Cuba? We know that the ma iority of
the inhabitants of Cuba are striving for
its independence. They have an army of
$500 men In the field now contending for
its independence with the force of Spain.
Il IS also stated upon what is presumed to
be reliable authority that 100000 men could
he put into the field If they had arms and
ammunition.
Sentiment is divided in the United States
as TO whether or not Cuba should be an
neXed. but all Americans are in favor Of

IT'S FIRST REGULAR DEBATE.
Twelfth Day of South Cardinals Con-
Vention.

Columbia. s. c, September 23.-The con-
sttutional convention today, the twelfth
OF its session. began direct work on the
new constitution and had its first regular
debate. The article taken up was that
the executive department. as reported from
the committee. 1t makes only two notable
changes from the old constitution. one of
these giving the governor power to veto
part of n general appropriation bill while
approving the other parts. and the other
creating an advisory board of pardOns. de-
cisions of which will not be final without
the approval of the governor.
An attempt was made 20 amend the sec
ton by making the terms of state officers
four years instead OF two and making
the governor ineligible for immediate re
election.
After debate participated in by several
of the leading members, including Senator
Tilman and Ex-Governor Sheppard, who
was his opponent for governor in the bitter
campaign of 1892. ana ex-Congressman
tombstone the amendment was killed by n
vote of 6i to A. Tillman and sheppard
both opposed the amendment while john
stone fa"orcd it, n majority of the con-
sarvatives. or anti-Tillman members. voted
with Tillman for a short term As about
fifty members were absent, an attempt
will be made tomorrow to take up this
question again on motion to reconsider.
Tho convention adjourned before com
pletlIS the executive article. from the
progress made today II is evident That the
convention Will be in session AT least two
weeks longer
This was the last day for the Introduction
of proposed new ordinances and there was
a flood of them, all being referred TO ap-
propriate committees.
A Close Vote.
Columbia. s. c.. September 2s.-The time
In the constitutional convention was oc-
cupied nearly all today with the section
or the article on municipal corporation
giving the corporations right to cxempt
taxation Of manufactures TO be hereafter
established, with a capital of not less than
$4,000. The fight was hot one and caused
some curious divisions, Senator Tillmap
leading the conservatives and republicans
and minority reformers in favor Of the seq
ton, while Senator Irby and other prom;-
nent reform leaders were foremost in At
lacking it. The result of 1t was that the
section was sustained by majority of one
vote.
An attempt to amend another section of
the same article by making capital stock
of banks subject TO municipal taxation was
defeated.
At the session tonight most OF the NUM-
cipal corporation articles were adopted
The section referring 10 dispensary law
and the section regarding the municipal in
debtedness was continued until tomorrow
for revision and amendment. The leEisla-
tive article was read over tonight and will
be considered tomorrow ii il can be
reached.
From the present rate of progress the
convention is likely TO be in session at
least three weeks longer. The committees
on new counties and on the suffrage are
hopelessly dead-locked. having been acct
