Instead of improving the labor situa-
ton in England is getting worse daily.
The engineers strike is not yet settled,
and now comes the announcement of an
other great war, involving 100000 cotton
operatives. Necessity compels the owners
of mills to insist on a per cent reduction
in wages, reduction which, Of course,
labor leaders resist. The latter propose
to curtail production, but the owners
won't have this. A cotton operators
strike on top Of the engineers strike
would paralyze the greatest trade of the
empire. The spinners and weavers will
soon decide what they will do.

Spain Can Only Promise.

Spain can do nothing for Cuba but tax
it. The Government at Madrid, whether
it be conservative or liberal, is powerless
to formulate measures that will insure
peace and prosperity in the island. This
is the candid opinion of Hannis Taylor,
who has just returned from Spain, where
for the last four years he has been the
American minister, conducting the deli
cate diplomatic negotiations which from
time to time have arisen out Of the Cuban
war. Mr.. Taylor has contributed an
elaborate review of the present aspects
of the Cuban question; and in the light
of his experiences and observation, and
as a result of his study of this difficult
problem, Mr.. Taylor expresses the CON
viction that Spanish craftsmanship is per-
fectly impotent to solve the Cuban prob
lem either promptly or wisely. The de-
plorable state of things existing in Cuba
he characterizes as being not only shock
ing to humanity, but special and grey
Gus burden to the people Of the United
States. American commerce with Cuba
nearly $100,000,000 annually at the out
break of the war-has been almost wiped
out; American investments in the island
have been nearly destroyed or rendered
reproductive; many American citizens re-
duced to want, while some of the men
have died in Spanish dungeons. But most
Of all, the question enters as disturbing
factor into our internal political affairs.

Keep Off The Grass.
Mccormick Times

AS told in the Times last week, Capt r. j.
Robinson was employed TO run survey,
from .Abbevile G.. II. 10 the Greenwood
county line to determine whether or not The
Greenwood people had run their line nearer
TO Abbeville than the eight mile limit allow
work last Saturday and made his report on
Monday, which shows that the Greenwood
county line is only I 33l00 miles from Able
willie c. H., or In other words. the new county
line runs two birds OF Il mile nearer to Ab-
beville than 1t should run. The establish.
ment of this fact 1t il believed, will prevent
the present Legislature from passing the Act
comes an interesting question, whether
Greenwood will be allowed TO make a new
survey and hold another election at once. or
whether she will be forced TO wait four years
longer. The law says that when Il section
makes an effort to secure q new county and
fails. another election on the question shall
not be held on the question in the same
territory within four years. The people of
Abbeville cannot be blamed for protecting
themselves, but at the same time IL does not
look fair that Green wood should be kept out
of the new county for four years on mere
technicality like this.
The Press and Banner notes with regret q
disposition 10 blame Abbevile because the
Greenwood surveyor ran the line too near
to Abbeville. Abbeville trusted the surveyor
to run 1t right, but when 1t was discovered
that such wss not the case. other surveyors
were employed to correct the survey. Abbe-
Vile had nothing at all TO with the first sur
vey.:and If the surveyor had been content TO
keep at a distance, there would now be no
room for question.

Making a Scape Goat OF the Presi
dent.Elect.

II Bryan had been elected President he
would have been blamed for the dull bushes
season OF the last three months and the fail
ure OF the banks that have recently gone un.
peration Ia s'heaped on Mckinley by the Dem
ocrats. Mark Hanna has nothing to say
Carolina Spartan.
Let our brother think for moment
Grover Cleveland is still President Of the
United States. Bryan and Mckinley are pri.
vate citizens. and have no more to do with
solvency or insolvency Of any bank, or any
industry, than the man in the moon. II
bankers waste the money with which they
have been entrusted, or II mills are run on
unbusiness-like methods, isn't it childish to
blame some else for the dereliction? Every
man on the face OF the earth knows thai
Mckinley and Bryan are not responsible fol
anybody's bad methods. However, to blame
other people for our own errors or misdeeds
was commenced very early In the history oil
the human family, and w presume the habit
will be continued for ages to come. Men who
conduct business on business principles, and
push IL intelligently, seldom blame anybody
for anything that may 60 wrong. But there
are people who always blame others for theil
! own misfortune. A man Is to some exten
the architect Of his own fortune, and we car
thrive without even consulting Mr.. Bryan Of
MIR. Mckinley. A man to thrive must scrougt
little, and be little selfassertive. A maj
who fails in business under one President
will likely never be a shining light in bust
hess circles. even though his favorite candi
late should be elected President. The bust
mess whose prosperity depends on the elec
ton OF anybody must have a precarlous ex
istence.

The New County.

Several ill-natured paragraphs have appear
ed in the newspapers In reference to Able
Vile and the proposed new county Of Green
wood.
AS far as this newspaper Is informed the
people at Abbeville have no feeling in the
matter, except opposition to encroachment
on our territory. If anybody has put straw
in the way Of the new county, except In as
serting our rights, we are not Informed OF
the fact.
Under the new constitution the question is
one for the people, who are within the pro-
posed new lines, 10 settle.
But the constitution forbids the running OF
the county line nearer than eight miles OF
Abbeville, and our people would not deserve
the respect of anybody II we allowed the un
lawful taking OF our territory.
There is no sort Of doubt that the line is
much nearer Abbeville than the constitution.
al limit.
Abbeville will contend for her legal rights.
She ask nothing bat justice, and every honest
man. who loves fair play, should be willing
to accede that much. We have no apology or
excuse to offer for resisting unlawful en-.
croachment upon our territory.
