THE sOUTH's OPPORTUNITY.

New markets must come to the
Southern States with the acquisition
of the West Indies, closer trade rela-
tons with Cuba, and the acquisition
of ports in the far East. The new
markets for cotton alone will be worth
to this country intellectually more than
the cost Of the war, and their values to
the South enhanced by the construction
Of the Nicaragua canal and the sani-
try removal of fever pests in adjacent
islands which have now come under
American control.
Free trade with the West Indies Of
fers a territory for the sale of cotton,
baled or manufactured, which Will
make vast gain for the staple product
of the South. Hawaii, and even the
little island Of Guam, where cotton
fabrics are used almost exclusively,
will be bases for distribution in those
regions, and will offer a constant, if
limited, demand.
The new market III the PHILIPPINES,
which we can secure without annex.ng
the islands, is destined to revolutionize
our export trade in cotton as well as
to make marked impression upon
other lines of American trade.
Manila, lying as it does, at
The gateway TO the populous
countries of the Orient, will become
under American dominance the store
house of our products for Asia to draw
upon. China alone can swallow the
entire cotton crop OF our southern
States at prices which must be better
by reason of the elimination of the
European middleman, who has ~been
trading in the Orient at the expense
of the American plantek and jobber
for fifty years.

A FEARFUL CRIME.

Americas, Ca. August 21.-The most
fendish crime in the history of Sumter
county. or the whole State, was com
mitted at Friendship, twelve miles west
of here, last night.
Mrs James McGarrahan and her
son, James ROone. were murdered by
a negro with an axe while they were
in their beds. After this double muir
der the fiend caught negro woman,
tied her to a tree in the woods and
mutilated her in a shocking manner.
She died. but not until she had told
the murderer's name. a crowd at once
started after the fiend. He was cap
tured late this evening and promptly
lynched

ANOTHER GLASS TRUST.

A flint glass bottle trust is reported
to be the latest in process of forma-
ton.
Glassworkers of this vicinity, espe-
cially in this city, have had experience
of the vicious working of the glass
trusts, which close down the smaller
factories in the combination to cut
down production in order to maintain
prices on the trust principle.
1t is the workingman thus thrown
out of employment who suffers from
the operation of the trust even more
than the consumer gouged for higher
prices.
The trust is an unmitigated evil to
labor and the consumer, and the party
which not only permits but fosters
such unlawful combinations, and allows
them all the governmental privileges
and protection they ask, in return for
campaign funds, should be voted out
of power at the next election by labor
and the consumers.
At the polls at the Congressional
elections next Novem Der, therefore, is
the place for labor and the consumer
to register their disapproval by voting
down tin party chiefly responsible for
the robber trust system, which curtails
OR cuts off entirely the employment of
labor and plumbers the poor.

terances of the faithful organs Of the
party in power just at this time. Their
DEGREES regarding the terms Of peace
are emitted in the most peremptory
style and all Americans who do not sub
scribe to their whole programme of i'm
perial jingoism are treated with insult
ferable insolence and branded as Span
1ards or Spanish sympathizers.
''Mr. Day" said one of these organs
in Chicago, speaking of the Secretary
of State who is to be dean of the Amer
lean peace commission, has shown ex-
cellent ability as Secretary of State, but
it is by no means certain that his pri-
waite convictions on the retention of the
Philippines are as answering as they
ought to be in the man who is in
trusted with this supremely important
position"
This in connection with the assump-
tion above noticed means that Mr.. Day.
who is said to have made good Amer
acan Secretary of State, is in fact not
an American, but representative of
Spain who is unfit to be trusted where
American interests as opposed to Span
ish interested are involved.
This is not only an insult to the
Secretary of State, but it is equally an
insult to the President. If there was
no question in the mind of the Presi-
dent about the retention of the Phil
ippines he most assuredly would have
demanded their cession in naming the
terms of peace, just as he demanded
the cession OF Puerto Rico. The Pres
ident, himself, therefore, according to
this organ, is a representative of Spain
and not of the United States and is
unfit to be trusted with the supremacy
important position of presiding in set
Ting the terms of peace.
These journals may be supposed to
know something about the leaders of
the party of which they are slavish
organA When they intimate that GER
fain of those leaders are Spaniards in
disguise they may know what they are
talking about, but they are not author
lied to speak for other people. Men
may very seriously question whether
it would be wise for us to undertake
the government of some 100000 of the
Malay race at distance of $500 miles
from our west coast and to keep an
army of some $4,000 Americans at that
distance from home in tropical eli
mate that is none too salubrious-men
may do all this and more and still be
pretty good Americans.
We really need to be represented on
the commission by men who are broad
enough to look at more than one side
Of question and to form a sound
judgment as to what the best interests
of the country require. And that is to
say that we do not need and ought not
to have as our representatives on the
commission men who are known to be
raving and unreasoning jingoes who
IRE unalterably committed in advance
to the annexation of everything in
sight. We might good deal better
! have nd commission at all but simply
demand what we want and be done
with il than to have one composed of
y tho have prejudged everything.

After Leaving Trolley Car.

George Collins, the young man who
was stabbed by Pietro Iaselli. an Ital-
ian, carly Sunday morning. October ?.
after leaving a Rumford car in East
Providence, died at the Rhode Island
hospital at . o'clock this morning of his
wounds. After Collins removal to the
hospital ne seemed To improve and
hopes OF his recovery were entertained
although his case was recognized as a
critical one. Last week. however. there
was a change I'm his condition and he

TO rally again The Improvement was
only temporary. however, and for the
"a hours preceding his demise IL was
evident that his death was but a mat

Collins statement after he reached
the hospital was To the effect that he
boarded Il Rumford car at Market
square and occupied seat with two
Italians. Just before reaching Red
bridge he tried 90 throw away his cigar
and in doing so accidentally struck one
of the Italians in the face. He imme-
diately offered an apology. but the
Italians would not accept IL. Collins
withdrew To the other end OF the seat
and. so far as he could judge, the whole
trouble had blown over.

lou but whether or not the hard feel
ings were the outgrowth of their Off
cial positions was never fully disclosed.
ON the morning of the affray john
son was passing the premises OF the
Ballous when he and the elder Ballou
INDUCED in war of words. Finally
Ballou left his yard and went out into
the road to where Johnson was stand
ing. There the alteration was con-
tinued. While The men were thus en-
gagged Walter Ballou, son of Charles
Ballou. rushed up and attacked John
son. He struck him with such force
that Johnson was felled and his head
came in contact with a stone. He was
rendered unconscious and was removed
to his home, where he died two days
later.
Charles and Walter Ballou were ar
rested and bound over to the grand
jury. which returned indictments for
manslaughter against both. The trial
began on October 13. 1897, and at its
close Charles Ballou was acquitted. but
a verdict OF guilty was returned against
his son. Walter. The latter has been
confined i'm the Kent county jail since.
and this morning was brought into the
court to receive sentence.
When he was called to the bar his
counsel, Franklin =. Owen. Esq. made
a strong plea on his behalf. pointing
out that no weapon Of any kind was
used and that the killing was wholly
unpremeditated.
Judge Douglas then imposed a 10
years sentence and later in the day
Ballou was taken to the state prison at
CranstOn.
