The Globe Democrat makes the
following truthful comment upon the
South aud the Spanishquestion:
Many persons are talking about the
outburst OF patriotism In the South on
the Spanish question as il it was un.
expected. Their surprise is the only
thing that is surprising. No INTEL
iigent person Of any party or locality
had any right to doubt the Sou tbs
patriotism in the Spanish affair, or In
any other affair which may threaten
to bring the country 10 conflict with
any other nation. In a moral as we'll
as 10 a PHI. steal sense the South has
been reconstructed for a good many
years. South Carolina is now as loyal
as Massachusetts, and, IL Is safe to
predict, would contribute as many
men, In proportion to the population,
to the governments service In
foreign war. Persons who doubt this
or who are surprised at IL are eithel
Unnecessarily bigoted, or show
strange blindness TO the drift Of publl'
sentiment 10 the South In recent
! years"

". G.. Brann, editor Of the Iconoclast,
Of Waco, Texas, would die with his

death. His methods we're not en-
dorsed by the best people, but, Of
