Senator Daniel is open 10 convlc-

treaty with Spain and annexing the
Philippines, but is SO much opposed
to them on general principles, that 1t
is easy to predict where he will stand
when the time arrives for him to cast
his vote IN the matter. He defines his
position in the following telegram, of
December 9th, to the Richmond Dis

North and South Carolina respec-

production of this year though with
that of 1860, it is stated, that the
South, with double the popula-

little more than caught up in its
production of corn while it has less
hogs than it had in 1860, the figures
for 1860 being 16,9OO,OOO hogs against
15,6O0,OO for 1895. These statistics
show, it is urged, the need for more
diversified farm crops in the South.

The fight against colonial expan-

said, was unconstitutional and was
never anticipated by the founders Of
our Government. Mr.. Platt, of Con-
necticut. speaking for the expan-
sionists, stated that the power to
acquire territory was inherent in the
nation and was not subject to limita
ton. The ablest men of the two

views. There ought to be wisdom

whether or not, General Fitz Lee is
candidate for the United States Sen
ate. He says he is, despite all the re-
ports which have been circulated to
the contrary, and that settles it. he
is not only candidate, but has an
nounced that he means to canvass
every county in the State before the
Legislative candidates are chosen
He proposes, in other words, for the
people to say, whether they prefer
him or Senator Martin to represent
them in the Senate. How the peo-
pie would decide it, there is very lit
tie doubt, if left to themselves IN the
matter, but Senator Martin does not
