Oconcc and pickcns the privilege of
having no whiskcy sold in those coun-

pensary has been the main subject of
debate in the Legislature the pus,

Representative Kiblcr from New.

that 1T was the sense Of the Legislature
that the State Board Of Control should
not grant hotel privileges. This is a
matter that is within the discretion OF
the Board of Control and the rcsolu.
tion OF Mr.. Kiblcr is only an cxpres

III LOOKShLIKE WAR.
Reed Admits IIs Cannot Hold Congress
ANY Longer.

Washington, Feb. $50 much inter-
est is felt in the Cuban question here
that the Evening Star, of this city, got
out an extra at six o'clock to an
nouncc in four line dispatch that tho
City Of Cadiz had been seized by the
Spanish government and armed rs a
cruiser. 1t is the Cuban situation
around which all interest centcrs now.
1t has absorbed all interest in the Ha-
waiian issue, and ovcrshadowcd all
other questions pending before Con-
grcss. Speaker Reed says frankly that
he could not hold the House uudcr con-
troll any longer II the Cuban question
came up in any way. He has SO in
formed Assistant Secretary of State
Day, and Secretary Day has informed
the President. The President has set
in motion Cuban policy which will
be hard to turn aside or reverse.
Undoubtedly the aim Of the admins
tration is to free Cuba without war
The President has taken several steps
which would look as if they might leat
| to war, but they seem to have all beer
acquiesced in by Spain. AS Senor Que
sada says, "ono more turn Of The screw
| and Cuba will be free" This turn ma,
bc made in week or in q month or il
two months. We are certainly nearer
to intervention than we were two
months ago. We are better. prepared
for intervention than wo were twt
weeks ago. Every mail brings private
reports TO Senator'S Of the utter failure
Of the autonomy plan. When it is final
ly admitted, and tho people Of Spail
turn on Sagasta's cabinet and demand
tho reinstatement OF Weyler, the las
turn OF the screw will be made.

THE NEWBERRY HERALD AND NEWS. FEBRUARY IL, 1898

We were standing talking to large
merchant only yesterday while his
dray was unloading oats. We asked
what tho sacks contained and he told
US us stated here. Upon further inquiry
we found they were feed oats shipped
from Kentucky. How can any country
like ours prosper that not only goes to
kentucky for its mules and horses but
actually sends there for oats to feed
them and then raise five cent cotton to
pay for all this stuff? There is no
sense in farmers complaining of low
price Of cotton and holding cotton
growers conventions as long as this
policy is pursued. We arc sure to get
poorer so long as we keep it up. And
why sensible men will do it has long
becn II dark and unexplained mystery
to us.

THE DEFEAT or EpTON.

The defeat Of Epton was much more
than the defeat Of one man over an
other for Office. 1t was moro than Il
slap at the Governor. 1t was intended
rs reputation Of the spirit Of recon-
Citation. 1t was Il victory for those
known rs "rnactiOnists." who might be
called also the "fuctiOnists.' Epton
was always Il rCformcr, of course, and
at times more or less bitter partisan,
but his election was brought about by
tho conservative men Of both factions,
not IN accordance with any trade or
deal, but as deserved promotion Of Il
capable and deserved man. His defeat
was caused by the desire to upset this
growing spirit OF harmony and frater-
nallSm. His defeat WAS rOmpaSScd to
aid the "factionlsls," to back mp some
of the driftwood which SwmS only on
disturbed waters, and which might br
endangered in piping times OF peace.
Everybody realizes that il is Gurtard.

WAR NOT PROBABLE.

England and France are making
preparations that look most ominous /;
but it by no means follows that war
is certainty or even possibility.
Great as is the power Of France, no
persons know better than those at the
head Of the French government what
the outcome of an Anglo French
war would be. 1t is probable that
the English navy would settle the re.
suits in less time than the length OF
the recent war with Spain. The con.
test would not be so one-sidsd and
there would be heavy losses on both
sides, but the French navy would ul.
timately be crushed by the superior
strength Of the British fleets.
The disastrous consequences to
France Of possible defeat are en-.
tirely out Of proportion to the issue
at stake. England will fight for she
sees the collapse Of the fondest
dream OF her statesmen for the past
generation il France be allowed to re.
tain her hold on the Nile territory at
Fashoda. British pride and British
financial and territorial interests are
such that she cannot back down.
But with France it is merely a ques-
ton Of pride. The appearance of
General Narchsnd and bis handful OF
folio wers at Fsshods was as much OF
a surprise to the French people as it
is to the English. This being the
81 alton, 1t is more than probable
that the statesmen Of the two now
most belligerent nations will see that
Lbe honor OF both is maintained with
put the burning of powder or the
IpilliDg Of blood.
