"Resolved,by the senate and house OF
representatives of the United States in
congress assembled:
That the people of the island of Cuba
are and of right ought to be free and
Independent"
Such was the resolution passed by
congress last Monday, backed up by
other resolutions demanding that Spain
relinquish its authority and govern
ment in the island of Cuba and with
draw its land and naval forces from
Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing
and empowering the President to use
the entire land and naval forces of the
United States and to call into the ac-
tual service of the United States, ma
litia to the extent it may be necessary
to carry these resolutions into effect.
Further, the resolutions disclaim
any disposition on the pait of the
| United States to exercise sovereignty or
control over the island.
These are the mostmomentous words

to the northeast corner of the Great
Bay and the Boca de Nuevitas, has on
ly population of about 5000, 10000
of whom live in the capital, Puerto
Principe. The eastern division has
about 249,000 inhabitants; the capital is
Santiago, with a population of about
$1,000. The chief towns of the western
division are connected by railroads,
and it is we'll settled aud prosperous,
the great sugar factories AMI tobacco
plantations, which constitute the wealth
of the island, lying there. The middle
and eastern divisions are but partially
cultivated, and, owing to civil war, are
becoming much less productive than
they were. Many of the land owners
of the eastern part of the island have
sold their slaves to those of the Hav-
ana district, and have migrated to ia
maica and the United States.
In 1892 Cuba, which is often spoken
of as the "Pearl" or queen of the An
TILES" was discovered by Columbus
during his first voyage. In 15l1, the is
land began to be permanently colon
lied, becoming within ten years, the
base of all the various operations
against Mexico.

An Ample Apology.

The following item from the Paris
Post, explains itself. From a bachelors
standpoint our only wonder is that
Bro. Wallis got out paper at all.
Our readers will pardon us if there
are any mistakes in this issue of the
Post, as our domestic circle was en-
larged to-day by the addition of a big
bouncing daughter, making the ell
eventh in number, and it being the an
niversary of our thirty-seventh birth
day also, we are somewhat demoralized,
as it were.

The average reader OF the Co'um-
bia morning dailies for the past sew
eral days could not fill but notice
what a state of moral and political t,
depravity alleged to exist IN ina, a,
CITY. If we are to believe the bold
cbaroe of fraud in elections, the
,,revslence of blind tigerism and
immortality in general, then that CITY
must be far worse than Sodom ana
Gomarrah are reported to have
been. But We are strongly ln-
clined to the belief that the picture
has been awfully overdrawn and the
evils complained of are greatly mag
nifed. We cannot conceive no"
such bold and fragrant violations ol
both the divine and human law could
he nermitted to exist in a city whose
citizens have such high reputation
for reverence of law and order and
a holy and deep love for the hlsneS'
state of morality and virtue. Surely
;f snch q state of affairs exists as
that outlined by the Register the
police department would have been
forced to, make an effort at least to
repress lawlessless and bring the
lawbreakers to justice.

We learn from the Congressional
Record that Tuesday, the Sth inst.
during the discussion Ct the urgency
deficiency bill in the House, Con-
gressman Stokes made the following
impromptu remarks:
Mr.. Sayers. l yield two minutes
to the gentleman from South Caro-
lima Mr.. Stokes].
MIR. Stokes. Mr.. Speaker, [ take
it that no argument is necessary to
commend this bill to the judgment OF
this House OF of the country. 1t is,
in fact, but an expression of the con-
clusions which have already been
reached in the minds of all informed
people in this House and in this
country at large. 1t is scarcely nee
essary, either Mr.. Speaker, that l
should state what all must be aware
of, that the people of the State
which I represent are in favor Of this
and of every measure which may be
deemed necessary in the wisdom Of
our Chief Executive for the preserya
tion of our national honor and yindi
cation of the traditions of which oul
flag is the symbol.
There is scarcely a day, Mr..
Speaker, I might say scarcely an
hour, since the reiat:: ons between this
country and the Spanish Govern
ment became strained that the peo-
pie of my State have not been send
ing words of encouragement and
assurances Of support to the execu-
tive department OF this Government
The entire militia of our State-in-
fantry, cavalry, and artillery-are
already pledged. My people are
ready for peace, and they are ready
for war. Ia calm expectancy they
await the issue. Within twenty-fou'
hours they may be modified; and
once in the field, they will go as far
as the farthest in support of the
dignity OF the nation and the honor
OF the flag.
I have to-day: Mr.. Speaker, trans
mitted, at the request of parties
from my State, assurances OF that
sort and requests for the addresses
of enlisling officers. In short, Mr..
Speaker, never in her history has
iSouth Carolina more sincerely MOI
more unanimously illustrated The
motto which for well-nigh century
has inspired her sons-'Always
ready with our lives and our prop
erty' for the defense Of liberty and
for the honor Of our entire country
Applause.
We do not think that in case Of
war with Spain, or any other govern
ment for that matter, he has prom
ised too much for his immediate con-
s!ituents in particular and the people
Of this State in general.
