Our Relations With spain.

The story that was circulated in Wall
street yesterday to the effect that war
between this country and Spain was i'm
minent does not appear to have had any
solid foundation. 1t was said to be based
upon the long expected report from Gen.
Lee, our consul general at Havana. The
report, it was declared, was of such a
character that the President had deter
mined to call an extra session of congress
to consider it. The story was started
doubtless for stock jobbing purposes.
Being on the eve of national election
the public mind is easily disturbed by
reports of the adoption of a governmental
policy that would seriously affect great
business interests Such reports are set
afioat by INSCRIPTIONS persons who have
selfish ends to gain.
There is no reason to think the Presi-
dent has an intention at present of chang
ing his policy in respect to Cuba. That
being the case we shall have no war with
Spain unless she forces it. No doubt
Spain would not object to a misunder-
standing with the United States. The
prospect of war might help her out of her
present difficulties. 1t might aid her in
getting the money which she so greatly
needs TO carry on the war in Cuba. I'm
less she gets money from some source
soon She will be unable to keep her Cuban
army in the field.
But before we have war with Spain We
shall have ample notice of 1t. At pres
emit our relations with her are appar-
emily friendly. The Spanish government
knows We are doing all that can be done
to prevent filibusterng expeditions to
Cuba. Such expeditions are not wholly
prevented, but it is because it is about
impossible to prevent them.
We may have war with Spain, but not
just yet. She is not yet satisfied that
war with us would help her to re-estab-
fish her authority in Cuba. Later on she
may decide that war with us is desirable
Senator Marion Buffers estimate of hows
North Carolina will go in the approaching
election must make very interesting read
ing for the democrats of that state. But
Ter says the populist and republican flu
sionists viii carry the state by $4,000 and
there are very good reasons for thinking
his estimate is about correct. The state
viii probably give its electoral vote to Mr.
Bryan, but 1t looks as il the democrats
would be badly beaten on both the state
and congressional tickets. And that is
what the democracy of the state gets for
licking the boots Of the popullst bosses.
Tom Watson is in the most uncomforta-
bic predieament Of any man between the
oceans. He cannot vote for Bryan. whom
he loves, without voting for Sewar. whom
he hates He supports the one from prin-
ciple and opposes the other from principle
If he votes for Bryan he will necessarily
have to go back on his ant-sewall prin-
ciples and If he declines to vote for sewal
he win have to violate his pro-Bryan prin-
ciples Mr.. Watson's own committee has
not only thrown him down but has rubbed
the mud on him. His case apty illustrates
the ingratitude of populist politics.

1t is probably Just as well for Charleston
that the republican congressional commit
tee at Washington has decided to recognize
the negro as the candidate of the party
for congress from the First South Caro-
lima district The white man was a new
conner in district politics, and might have
polled the full republican vote. The negro
is an old stager, and his party is split
into factions upon his candidacy. The
First is numerically a republican, or rath-
er a black, district. Col. Elliott, the demo-
