There are already five candidates in the

the GoVernorship of South Carolina. and
there are still other counties to be heard
from. on this side Of the river we have,

patriotism in South Carolina than in Geor-

The Chinese minister at Washington is
a true disciple of Ii Hung Chang. He
asks questions of the most searching sort
of all with whom he comes into contact.
The other day he was introduced to Dr.
Mary Walker. One of che minister's first
questions to DR.. Mary was why, do you
wear pants?" The doctor. however, was
not abashed in the least, but replied to
the query with another, why do you wear
a gown or dress?" So far as the public
is informed, each question is still unan-
sWered.

the result that the war department can
get only 100000 of the $1S,OOCOOO it needs

And what makes the matter worse is that

OPINIONS on TIE PHILIPPINES.

An interesting and significant contribution to
nopular discussion Of the Philippine question Is
made by THE Evening Wisconsin,. of Milwau-
kec That paper one Of the oldest, most infu-
ential and most truly representative OF the best
public sentiment in the Middle West. recently
invited from It's readers expressions OF opinion
concerning the disposition that should be made
OF the Philippine Islands, and especially CON
corning their retention or non-retCntion by the
United States. Replies have come in not only
from Wisconsin, but from the West generally,
from Indiana on the one hand to Montana on
the other They are five To one In favor or re-
tention Of the islands. and even the few VINO
are opposed to that policy advise that the ISL
ands be held for time. until they can be adj
vanta geously disposed OF to some other fower
and not returned TO Spain a large proportion
of the replies in favor Of annexation are nu-
merously signed. and are representative OF the
sentiment of the entire communities whence
they come.
Some of the correspondents. wisely looking
ahead. declare that the islands should be held
for the sake OF the future. Some say this Ma
ton has outgrown its swaddling clothes and
has duty to perform In helping to civiliZc the
world. Some say the obligation to care for the

say il would be nothing less :han criminal 10

A MOTIVE FOR WAR.

The attitude of Spain toward the question OF
continuing the war or suing for peace Is a sus-
pestiye one strengthening some unpleasant sus-
melons which have long been current. 1t is Cd
served that the nation, or the part or IL whose
opinions are of value and are heard, Is Droani!
divided into two classes The people. the III
formed and intelligent classes Of them, the III
dustrial and commercial classes. are strongly III
favor of peace. So are the rank ana HE OF Tue
fanny and navy. But the politicians VINO are III
office and the army and navy officers, or host
of them are in favor Of prosecuting the war 10
the bitter end. Now. IL IS perfectly evident TO
all that Spain is hopelessly beaten, and that
nersistence in the war can result only in her
further loss ard humiliation Yet the very
men who because OF their information ana ex-
perience are most keenly aware or ms are the
very men who are most streDuously urging the
nation into that runous course. MS seems an
anomalous state OF affairs, but an adequate
though most neutrality-suspicious. OF IL ~
given not only In the familiar record or Spain'
but In the recent testimony Of some OF her fore
most men.
1t is not pleasant TO charge nations gov
eminent with wholesale pccuniary corruption.
1t is unspcakably repugnant TO charge respon-
sible men with keeping up war FOR the sake
of Decupiary gain. But the quit OF the opdh-
ish Government In the former particular is TOO
notorious to be denied or ignored. Let us take
the testimony Of some Of its own leading men,
Seilor Rornero Robledo speaking In the Cortes
in May. 1850, declared that there had been Off
cial declarations ut Havana and in Cuba
amounting TO 500 81 $40, and he challenged the
Government to say that anything had been done
10 stop or correc; the evil. General PandO, in
March, 1890 declared before the Cortes that
cpabezzlemenls and dcfaicatons-tha is to say,
stealjngs-in Cuba amounted to S4OOO0O0O. In
lime 1891. Senior Castaheda said before the
Cortes that General Prcndcreast had furnished
IN the Government the names of 800 custom
horse and other administrative officers against
whom proceedings had been taken for frnud,
Int not one of them had been punished. Scnor
Dolz q Deputy declared publicly in 1880 that
since the establishment OF peace In 1878, the
custom- house frauds In Cuba had amounted to
s1oo OOOO Such. with innumerable redupli-
cations. has been SPANS seif-told record in her
colonies And If such things are done in the
colonies there is no reason 10 douDt 'nat 'he'
