would have to be the veriest fool
upon earth to have taken the stand
which he is represented as having
taken without some such pointer as
the one evidently given to him. But
it is safe to say the American people
are on to the Administrations curves
or will be before this Infamous scheme
has been finally consummated. Con-
gress Will be called upon in the pre-
mises; the Senate will have to ratify
the treaty and the House and Senate
both will have to assent to the pay
ment of the bonus and appropriations
necessary to consummate the deal.
But are the people going to stand by
idly and see this infamy consummat-
ed and raise no voice of opposition?
If they do they will have no one to
blame but themselves. If they are
going to leave all in the hands of an
Administration which is at the beck
and call of a gang Of thieves, they can
expect nothing but robbery and flch-
ing to characterize all the acts and
deeds purporting to be done in their
names and in their behalf It would
be a good thing for the people to give
the Administration some sort of mint
as to how they feel in the premises in
the fall elections. An out and out
popular reputation Of the Admins
tration might save the people not
only money and taxes, but vast
amount of trouble and everlasting
annoyances. Are the people all
asleep or dead or dumb?

Is HE THE MAN?

Darlington has not, for many years.
presented a candidate for Office be-
' vvond her own borders. Circumstan-
ces are now such that she feels more
than justified in doing so. Mr.. j. W.
Mccullough, formerly OF GreenVllie
County, now Darlingtonian, IS pre-
sented by friends frcm both sections
as q candidate for the Office Of super
intendent of the Penitentiary. The
Press of Darlington and the people
here heartily endorse the candidacy OF
Mr.. Mccullough. and hope to see
bis election.-Cor. News and Courier.
We remember during the dispensa-
~ troubles in Darlington, there was
a Mccullough who made himself
quite CONSPICUOUS in string UP troa-
bic, and was among the number that
followed the Constables to the depot
which precipitated the riot. 1t IS
said, that at the first crack OF q rifle
Mccullough outran pair OF horses
which had become frightened by the
noise of the guns. Is he the same
Mccullough? If he is, somebody
ought to tell him that tie guards at
the penitentiary tote rifles and his
nerves are liable to get such a shock
that the high brick walls may not be
able to hold him at his post. That
Mccullough is too nervous.

Uncle Sam is determined to scoop
in the PHILIPPINE group of islands, and
thus give the American people more
intricate problems to solve. What
this country wants with barbarian
population attached to it, is conun-
drum sure. Tie American commls-
sionsrs, under the instructions OF
President Mckinley have notified
Spain that it is their intention to tax :
the entire group Of PHILIPPINE Islands,
and that the United States will assume
so much OF the debt as was spent for
public works, and permanent better
ments. Just why the commission
agrees to assume any portion of the
debt is not made clear; it could with
as much grace take the Islands and
make the PHILIPPINES paid the debt
too. This new acquisition of terri
tory will be an elephant on the hands
Of this country and before many years
roll around, we will be glad to un,
load it for price s'less than cost. "

The Crowniny Inr,my of This Admin.
istralion Exposed.

The crowuing infany of this Ad-
ministration of infamies has just come
TO light. This Administration is en-
ineutlv one of infamies; from the day
of Inauguration down to this good
hour there has not been one solitary
hour when the present regime was
free from giving its active aud and
good Offices in furtheriug some gigan-
tic steal, flcbiug enterprise or con-
scivnceless scheme of popular lootins
plundering or robbiug; but this
"bond-syndica:e steal of Philippine
infamy" puts the blush upon the cheek
of any other attempt at bold, brazea,
outrageous infamy ever before perpe-
trated upon the people of this coun-
try under the auspices OF their own
Government. Mr.. Mckinley and his
co-adiutors in crime actually propose
to pledge the credit, faith and honor OF
our great Government towards guar
anteeins the payment at par Of some
s4O,OOO,O00 Philippine bonds which
anua-Elkins-Atkins-M McCook and
others have recently purchased at
about 15cents on the dollar. But it is
attempted to conceal the deep infamy
of the whole transaction behind Il very
thin and transparent subterfuge-un
effort to do even and exact justice to-
wards Spain by paying her "so2.e-
thing" Tor the Philippine. The secret
Of Mr.. Mchinley's sudden conversion
to expansionist ideas recently is found
in his first grasping full knowledge OF
the huge proportions and infamous
iuiouity of this latest "highway rob.
berry" by the ham-struns and quar-
tered in the interest of public decen-
cy and popular safety. 1t is anDounc,
ed thas the Administration is agreed
that it is "only fair that Spain should
receive payment for the Philippines,
whether it be S4O,O00,000, or more OF
less" But the Administrations sud-
den conversion and mysterious change
OF front on the whole question is to
be found in the bond-guarentee
scheme. These bonds do not mature
for thirty. nine years yet and are not
held BY either Spain or Spaniards and
it is ouly subterfuge to say that this
immense bonus is demanded by Spain
before she will quietly submit to a
peaceful surrender OF her Philippine
colonies.
Why should Spain hang so much
importance upon the hundreds OF
millions of debt hanging over her on
account of Cuba? Why should she
50 positively and subtlety make this
the fulcrum-point upon which all fur
ther peaceful negotiations hinge?
Why should she give up Cuba and
still stand responsible for the hun
dreds of millions of Cuban bonds and
still say that she will suffer torment
and go the way to perdition before
she will give up the Philippines ana
stand responsible for some S4O,O0c,-
600? Has all of Spain suddenly gone
mad or has 1t been suggested to her
that the United States can be induced
to pay an immense bonus? There
can be but one answer to that ques-
ton. Sagasta has never been ac-
cused of being anybody's fool, and he

was to be made between Conserva-
tive and a Reformer, qualification and
merit was not considered, and they
voted for the Conservative. It was so
in the second primary, Featherstone
being a conservative got most of the
votes of that faction, while the Prohi-
bition Reformers who voted for Feath-
erstone were beguiled into the idea
that they were voting for religious
principle. The opposition to the fac
ton in power, played shrewd game
in the last primary, but they did not
win, nor can they play that game any
more. The scheme to capture the
government was 50 adroitly managed
that, before the other side could see
into the game, it had so completely
blinded large proportion of our vo-
ters, it was useless to undertake to
expose the hypocrisy.
We do not believe that Ellerbe re-
ceived support from the anti-dispen-
saryites to any great extent; possibly,
in the city of Columbia, some oppo-
nents to the dispensary system voted
for him, but they did so for other
reasons than any promises that were
made for the governor on the eve of
the primary election" The large vote
given Ellerbe in Columbia was in ap-
probation of his friendliness to that
city, when Charleston was doing her
level best to get the troops modified
in that city. The anti-dispensary
newspapers may turn and twist as
they may, but the fact stands out that
a majority of the people of this State
want liquor controlled, and they be-
lieve that under the dispensary sys-
tenn they have the stuff as near under
control as it can be gotten.
We do not believe as long as the
present system of drawing juries
stands, that violators Of the dispensa-
ry law can be convicted in Charleston
or Columbia, because the officials who
have the filing of the boxes in charge,
stand in with the men who violate the
law, it is for this reason that the dis
pensary law is not enforced in Char
lesion and Columbia, where barrooms
are run openly.
We are satisfied that something
will have to be done by the coming
session of the General Assembly to
remedy the evils now existing with
regard to the enforcement of the law.
That evils exist there can be no doubt
the constable system will have to be
completely revolutionized if not re-
moved entirely and a new system
inaugurated.
