and not only do they not emigrate from
their own country to lands as far distant
from 1t as the United States or South
America. but also they do not go to other
countries Of Europe nearer to them. In
France, for instance, there is a large
spanish-born male population. but the
number of spanish-born women resident in
or travelling through Frapce is small.
By the census of 1888, prior to the be-
ginning of the Napoleonic wars, there Were
In Spain at that time 5,155, geo male and
5.167, 900 female inbabi ia uts, a very
small disparity In favor of the latter when
it is considered that the population of the
Spanish peninsula during the three CEN
turtles preceding had been drained by male
emigration to America. BY the last census
of Spain the number Of male Inhabitants
was returned at 8. 400, 900 and OF female
inhabitants 100000. There is a very
small Spanish emigration to the United
States-5O, 900 in all from Spain and
Portugal in fifty years. The German
emigration TO the United States In the
same period was 1000, 600.

mot long after my arrival among the
islanders French vessel stopped at our
island and hung out trading signal.
Many OF the natives went aboard; went
also, and demanded to be taken away. My
requst was refused. All of the men were
told to go ashore, and the women were
ordered to remain. The men refused to go;
three OF them were shot, and the others,
including myself, driven overheard. The
women were carried away, assaulted by
the crew Of the FreDchman, and afterward
sold to other islanders hundreds OF miles
away, as / afterward learned. In the
way OF retaliation for this outrage tho
Iikans persuaded a boat-load OF men to
come ashore from the next ship that an
chored off our island and when they COM
piled they were promptly killed and eaten.
They were EDglishmen, and my influence
was at that time not sufficient to save
them from their fate. An English war ship
was sent to shell our island village by
way OF punishment. and was sent out Dy
our people with nag OF truce TO explain
to the English commander the provocation
that had led to the affair.

war went away without discharging gun.-
The king was so pleased with the result of
my mission that he made me Great war

highest bonors in the island short OF 70 yalty
itself.
About year after my landing the king
died without an heir. The chiefs held
'hodakni.' or coBve milton, TO choose his suts
cessor. In the abse nee of n direct heir the
choice lay between Rahokounia. the shead
OF the warriors, and Ala, the chief OF the
lawmakers. Both were powerful and am

appointed, civil strife was sure TO enstie.

During the four hundred years that have
elapsed since the discovery OF the New
World by Columbus the stream Of Euro
penn emigration to North and South Amer
lea has continued ALMOST uninterruptedly.
While the emigrants from other European
countries have been nearly evenly divided
between men and women, the emigration
from Spain and Portugal, and more particu-
larry from Spain, going TO South or Central
America or the islands Of the West Indies
has been almost exclusively male. As
result Of this the countries settled by the
Spanish and Portuguese have come to have
their present mixed population thr ough

such marriages, and the Indian population

which the following is synopsis
Mr.. w. A. Clark, president of
the Carolina National Bank, Co.

of the fund, and all money should
be forwarded to hin as soon as
collected. 1t is necessary to col

is very short in which to prepare
the exhibit.
The exhibit will represent all
the resources of che State, and
all products, n anu a C t u e d

be arranged to represent the
State as q whole, but companies OF
individuals desiring to make spe-
cial exhibits will be allowed to do
SO in the space allotted to South
Carolina. Each county or town
will get full credit for all articles
exhibited byit.
The duty of the county commits
sioners will be, first, to see to the
collection of the money assessed
to the counties, to assist the State
commissioner in securing material
for the State exhibit, and to in
duce manufactures and others to
make special exhibits. The COM
missioner in each county may ap-
point such committees to aid him
as he finds necessary. There
should not be less than one in
each township, the commissioner
having charge of all the details in
his county. The women of the
State are invited to help to raise
the money for the general exhibit,
ias there will be no separate wo-
mans exhibit.
Commissioners may prepare lists
of all properties for sale in their

The Greenyille News asks son

The Greenville News asks some
very searching questions about the
$4,000 which it cost to refund the
State bonds two or three years
ago. R. A. Lancaster, Of New
York, who assisted in organizing
the syndicate, got $4,000, but the
mystery still remains as to the
destination of the other $4,000.
Mr.. Rhind, of Augusta, is said to
have told the brokers and bankers
that it was used for Legislative
expenses, that is, in getting the
refunding bill through the Legis-
lature. The Greenville News is
perfectly right in asking these
questions-thousands of people in
South Carolina have smelt rotten
ness for some time in this transac-
tion and they will never be salts
fed until the whole thing is thor
oughly and impartially investiga-
ted. Of course, the investigation
is going to be put off as long as
possible, but it will come all the
same, and then look out.-Darling-

The Lords of the Senate.

The United States Senate hangs
on to its plurder "like a puppy. to
a rootn or "sick kitten to a hot
brick" 1t has added to the ,ap-
preparation bill, as passed by the
House, the considerable figure of
s247,0o0. The House has persist
ed until the Senate has backed
down from $1o3,92o, while the
House has yielded $59,2o9, leav-
ing $4,000 in dispute.
TIE bill. as agreed upon, carries
$685., ,162 for compensation of 295
employees of the House of 356
members. This makes an average
cost per member, in the way of
employees, of 1899.
The Senator's a more expensive
luxury than the member Of the
- - - .a
Hou,e. It requires only 2s5 en-
ployes to keep s56 Representatives
in running order, but in the Sen
ate, with SO members, there are
now, exclusive of reporters of de-
bates and the personal clerks OF
Senators, 27S employees, at a cost
of $4o3, ,529, or a per capita cost
per Senator of $4,4s3 for employees.
But that is not enough to satisfy,
these lords of the Senate. They in
sist that personal clerks shall
have $500 a year, instead of ST.
200, as paid by the House, and
that some committee clerks shall
get $500, instead of 81 ,44o.
The Senate insists on being ex-
pc nsive out of all proportion to
it's members and, while Senator
lTilIn,an is "pitchforking" we
would suggest a little more of it
right where he is. The Senate is
not only increasing its expenses
but also in arrogance and inefi-
cheney.

lTillman's Declaration.
.FoRT Mil TINES GIVES Irs UN-
DERsrAND1NG OF IT.

i1oSO W SSA 0S~'O
to the speech delivered by Senator
Tillman in the Senate of the Uni
ted States on Friday, May 1st.
There were many things III that
speech that are truly commenda-
BILE. Senator Tillman is we'll in
formed with reference to the wants
and needs of the people-the COM
mon people, as contra-distinguish-
ed from the self-styled and law
created money barons and Shy
locks-of the country. We think,
however, that he was premature
in making a declaration that ne
would bolt the Chicago convention
unless both candidate and plat
form were to his liking. tits just
possible that, in the heat of de-
bate, the Senator forgot himself
and gave vent to his personal feel
ings at the time rather than the
cool judgment he usually express
es with reference to matters OF
such gravity. What he evidently
meant was that if the adminlstra-
tion used lis powerful influence,
together with the money of Wall
street, to pack The Chicago conven-
ton against the will of the major
ity of the Democratic voters of
the country, he would not feel
bound by its action. Senator
Vest, of Missouri, than whom
there is no better Democrat living,
has since given expression to
views in keeping with those we
think. Senator Tillman had in
mind at the time of his recent de-
claration. In other words, we re-
gard Tillman's speech as warn
ing to the goldbug administration
that nothing but Democratic
methods will be tolerated at the
Chicago meeting. If, however,
the Senator meant more than this
we must part company with him.
We believe that a national con-
vention of the Democratic party
should express the combined views
of the entire Democracy of the
country on all public questions.
Any attempt to thwarL that ex-
preston should meet with imme-
diate condemnation. In the event
that lot of public officeholders
under the Federal government
pap-suckers-made delegates by
the power of the administration,
as in the case Of Michigan, were to
control the Chicago convention,
we would not, as Democrats feel
n any way bound to respect the
DEGREES of that body or support its
nominees. But if the Democrats
of the country are to bs left free to
act as they think for themselves,
then We will follow, without quea-
ton their lead. No man has a
right to dictate to our national
gatherings, either as to policy or
candidate. We earnestly believe
that two-Lh ,rds of the Democrats
of the country favor the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver if left
to their OWL. will in casting their
votes. However, if the will of The
Democratic party, fairly express
ed, is for something else we are
ready to accept the verdict, and
abide by it. We hope and trust
that we are right in reference to
the action of Senator Tillman, far
if he really intended to bolt with
out due cause, we are deceived in
the man, and must bid him adieu.
Time will tell, and then we can
act adyisedly.-Fort Mill Times.

The Columbia State is giving us

favor of silver coinage that excel,

pect, anything that we have seen,

long drawn out like cold molasses,
