All the nations who can raise the
necessary money are adding heavily to
their naval strength. Our $50,000,-
900 seems big, but some other nations
are going much deeper into the busi-
ness of building and buying warships.
1t was stated at the opening Of the
present Parliament that England al
ready possessed by far the strongest
of all navies, would put 500, 600, 600
into naval Improvements, but this was
not deemed sufficient. Hon. George
J.. Goschen, the first lord of the ad-
miralty, presented recently an estimate
which calls for $127, 100000, enough
to build fifty ships as great as the
Maine. Russia is not permitting her
chief enemy to have a monopoly of
naval expenditures, and she comes up
with s72,OOO,OO0 for new battleships.
Japan, the rising star in the new firm
ament of nations, is building more
warships than any other nation except
England, and will soon have one of
Che greatest navies in the world. Ger
many and France are both increasing
their naval strength, and bankrupt
Spain is picking up any sort of old
ships wherever she can beg or borrow
them.

Wade Hampton caused the widest en-
thusiasm by the following reference to
the war with Spain: My old com

upon which we are now entering.
But you are South Carolinians; you
are the sons of men who have shed lm-
mortal glory on the Palmetto flag in
the past, and | would rather die than
think that South Carolina would not
respond to the call made upon her for
volunteers. And old as am, | can
still ride on horseback and wicid Il

there is one name lacking to make it
full, l myself will volunteer. This is
our country and it is our duty to make
it the champion of freedom for all time

7. is stated on the authority Of an
expert who has recently made close
investigation of the subject, that
there are now no less than 200 rcgu-
larly organized trusts in the United
States. They have a total capital in
stocks and bonds of 1862, 100000,
This capitalization is equal to So per
cent of the aggregate capital Of all the
manufacturers in the country as shown
by the last census. Still the forma-
tion Of trusts goes on. Where is it to
stop and what is to stop it? The fed
eral antitrust law is sustained now
and then by the Courts and attempts
to evade it are thwarted, but these are
exceptional cases. As rule, it seems,
the trusts organize whenever and
wherever they please and do what
they please.

1t is conceded that we have about
sixty days for action before the un-
healthy season in Cuba would make
operations there inadyisable. In all
probability the Spanish forces can be
disposed of in that time if the inyas-
ion be made promptly. The insur-
gents are understood to be marching
westward on Havana also, and in all
probability the matter will be settled
by the capture Of the one place. On
the whole, everything looks favorable
for short, sharp and decisive cam
paign, and that is what everybody de-
sires.
