THE. CONSERVATIVE.

NNk of the best weekly publications devoted to | ] political and economic problems that the pro-
 llhc press of the Mississippi Valley issues IS the Conservative recently established at Nebraska City, with J. Sterling Morton, ex-Secretary of Aer- culture, editor. No periodical in the Union more ably uphOds the doctrine of sound money and honest finance than this journal which has its home in al most the very center of Populism and fiat money heresies.
 In recent number the editor set forth the object of his publication in the brief statement: The Con servatve is partisan journal It has faith in the ultimate triumph of everything that is just The Con- servatve is advocate of more capital for the West and South Therefore the Conservative is against all legislation unustly discriminating against capital The Conservative calls to capital Come in instead of Get out
 In another article is made this point, whose jus tice will be recognized by everybody: The redis- tribution of capital is avorite theme with persons who never created any capital. These men grow fer vd depicting the injustice of that industry and self denial which creates capital for itself instead of creating it bestow upon 1oafers and political elo cutionists If nanty of brains, inertia of body and a disregard for truth capital some of our Sen ators and Representatives in Congress would be mental and moral millonaires"
 The success which Mir. Morton has accomplished in the management of the Conservative is another evidence of the versatility of his mind and the un- tiring energy of his faculties. He as an editor is doing good work in educating the people of the Mis- sissppi Valley in the complex problems of politics economics and sociology, and bids fair to become as eminent in journalism as he has been in agriculture and politics

When congress decided upon
armed intervention in Cuba with
out recognition of the Cuban re-
public, we confess that we were
disappointed. We said so. 1t
was because we had a mistaken
view of the situation. We fully
believed that the insurgents were
competent to improve upon the
existing government. Recent de-
velopments have demonstrated
that this is not true. Turned
over to the Cubans, it looks as if
the island would be pillaged from
one end to the other and left a
howliug wilderness. The Gu
bans, the other day, from Garcia
down, seem to have been miffed
because they were not allowed to
sack Santiago. The guarantee
of the president that all non com
batant citizens, whether Cubaus
or Spaniards, are to be protected
in their liberty and property
rights, is in accordance with the
American spirit, and is the best
justification of the war that has
yet developed. We are inclined
to honor President Mckinley
more than ever, and 1t is with
pleasure that we acknowledge that
the resolution Of congress upon
which aggressive action was based,
is right. t.--Yorkville Enquirer.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
Lancaster Gave the Candidates
an Attentive Hearing and They
Gave Her Speeches Devoid of
Mud Singing.

saturday was State campaign
day here. Five or six hundred
voters were present to hear the
candidates, and. as usual, gave
them a respectful and attentive
hearing. The candidates, too,
behaved very nicely. If any of
them have engaged in mudsling-
ing at other meetings they had
the discretion not to do it before
an intelligent Lancaster audience.
The speaking took place from Il
platform erected In the court
hot Sc yard and the meeting was
opened at 10 o'clock with prayer
by Rev j f Carlisle. County
chairman Nisbet introduced the
speakers beginning with the can
didates for Comptroller General.
Mr. Epton of Spartanburg, spoke
first and was followed by the
present incumbent, Mr. Derham
of Horny.
The candidates for Railroad
Commissioner were next intro
duced, in the following order:
b B Evans Of Columbia; G w
Garris, of Colleton; j A Sigh of
Newberry; j w Gray of Green
vile; n H Stansell of Barnwell; (;
T n Berry of Chester. H r
Thomas of Sumter, was not pres
snt. In fve-minute talks these
gentlemen informed the people
who they were and of their spe-
cial qualifications to fill the Office
sought. Mr. Berry WAS the only
candidate for this Office favoring
prohibition.
The candidates for Secretary of
State came next. They were d
j Bradham, at present sheriff of
Barnwell; NJ r Cooper Of the
State board of control, and d H
Thompkins of Greenwood. the
present incumbent, who has held
the Office for two terms. The
two former thought Mr. Thomp-
kins should be retired-that two
terms Gas long enough for any
one to hold an Office, while Mr. T.,
took the position that it would be
very unkind to turn good man
out to graze when, to elect either
of his opponents was to create a
vacancy in another Office. He
thought his opponents ought to

terms neither of which would ex-
pire for the next two or three
years and that he should he re-

The candidates for Adj and In

Greenville, and John Gary Watts
of Laurens, the present incum
bent, who is seeking third term.

pressed the audience with his

should be managed. Col j Ii
Rice's speech was replete with
wise and thoughtful suggestions
for propagating education and
building up the character of the
children.
CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR.
D l. Schumpert of Newberry.
was first introduced. His speech
was vigorous avowal of his de-
termination to enforce the laws
and suggest to the Legislature,
such changes as would better
them if he was elected. He fav.
ored the dispensary as the best
so .utlon of the whiskey question,
but admitted that the argument
used against prohibition, "that 1t
would not prohibit" was no ar
gument at all, when would the
Mosaic laws, Thou shalt not
steal" -" "Thou shall not kill"
ETC., have ever been promulgated
had Moses have waited Ntil these
prohibitive laws would have pro
hibited. AS to his ability to fill the
Office he referred any who wished
to make inquiry to his esteemed
friends, Justice Jones and ex-U S
Marshal Hunter, who knew him
we'll. There were 33 reasons why
he was candidate. The first
vas that he wanted the office. 1t
was not necessary to mention the
others.
Col X b Watson of Saluda,
chiefly talked his we'll known
views on education and the dis.
pensary. He seems to be the dis
pensary's strongest advocate and
claims to be the leader of the
cause of the common schools.
&C Featherstone of Laurens,
in a vigorous speech presented
the cause of prohibition. 1t was
folly to say that prohibition could
not be enforced as we'll as any
othor law "u the rfAtss books.
If elected Governor, and prohi-
bition should be enacted into law,
he would enforce it as we'll or
better than the dispensary law is
now enforced. The people 'hould
not expect to have a prohibition
law better enforced than any
other law. He sent some liners
into the liquor field and was much
applauded. He could not under
stand why one of his opponents,
Col Watson. who professed such
admiration for tho dispensary
lsw, had by his efforts kept dis
pensary from being established at
his home, Kidgespripg. 1t was
strange that Col Watson should
want other towns in the State to
have thing which he would not
suffer to be established in his own
town, especially when he professed
to believe it was II good thing.
f l. Archer of Spartanburg,
was r ext introduced. He was in
the race for governor because
South Carolina had never edu-
Gated the masses. He was at
tentively listened to and made a
very good impression.
G. Walt Whitman of Union,
came next. He had been called
crank four years ago for advo.
eating the platform he did. Then
he was alone on it, but now at
least four of his opponents had
climbed on il and were crow6ing
him. lfsny body was to be voted
for on that platform they should
vote for him. He was opposed
