AGUINALDO WANTS REPUBLIC.
VIII shortly Assemble IA Congress of
Leading FiIipinOs at ManOlOs.

London, Aug. 29.-The Manila CORE
spOndent of the Times says:
The situation, although undoubtedly UNI
satisfactory, remains unchanged pending
a final settlement. AguinalCo proposes
to remove his headquarters Immediately
to the town of Manolos, province of Bal
acan, 20 miles north of Manila. There he
will shortly assemble congress chosen
from the leading Filpinos who favor the
insurgent cause. He further intends to
send a representative to Paris to argue
his claims for the establishment of an in
surgent republic Manolos is an excellent
strategic point, covering a rice and to-
bacco district, beside the route to Biacna-
bato, where the Spaniards were formerly
obliged to make a treaty by which they
purchased a suspension of hostilities,
The movement was probably necessary,
partly because Agunaldo was fast losing
his influence in the province of CaVte,
where the insurgents evidently expected
to be permitted to occupy Manila con-
Jointly with the Americans. Considera-
BILE dissatisfaction is apparent among the
insurgent troops and frank expression
of opinion is frequently heard that Aguin-
aldo is again selling the cause.

THE OLD STORY OF PONCE.
Its Founder Was the DiscOverer of
Florida.

Ponce is an old story today, yet still
pretty one. In its history Is fairy tale
which has the merit of being true. In the
wears when time went slower, a page
lounged through the leisures OF Ferdl-
nand's court. He was young, impudent
and abominably good-looking. A princess
smiled and beckoned. That was enough.
There and then he was sent to another
world, to a better one. to the tropics
which Columbus had found. He landed
at Boriquen, assisted with easy gallantry
in eliminating the natives, assisted also
in gathering the gold which they left.
Between the lines there are two decades
Meanwhile Boriquen had been christened
Puerto Rico. incidentally the page had
grown old. Whether he regretted the
princess is problematical. That he missed
his good looks is clear. In an effort to
recover them he took trip. The story
of FL Dorado had not yet been told. Bul
another story, equally if not more Sc
ductive, was current then. 1t was to the
effect that somewhere nearby were the
fountains of eternal youth. In search Of
those waters he sailed. The land which he
reached was so rich in AZ IS that he
called it Florida. But of the waters not
trace. And yet, may it not be that the
legend of them typitied fame? For 1t was
that which he did find. His name was
Ponce de Leon, and it was he who found

plea for Beer on Sundays.

An extraordinary argument for Sum
day opening was quoted by one OF the
speakers recently at a temperance con-
yention. He related that at a public
meeting once held in Coventry, En-
gland. an orator urged that public
houses should be opened at noon on
Sunday, In order that workingmen
should have an opportunity Of discuss
ing together the sermons they had
heard In the morning.

A HOLIDAY IS PROCLAIMED.

Olympia, Aug. Ex-Governor Rogers
has issued his Labor day proclamation.
He calls upon employers of labor in the
state to permit their men to enjoy Sep

Whereas, The legislature of the state
OF Washington has by act approved Feb
ruary "a, 1891, designated the First
Monday of September of each year as
legal holiday, to he known as Labor day.
Now, therefore, l, John h. Rogers,
governor of the state of Washington, do
hereby declare and proclaim Monday,

Dor to celebrate the day IN fit and Wo;-

The recent victories of our national
arm, III on SC. and lara have reinspired
our countrymen with fresh zeal and
courage and made more plain the mani
fest destiny of America. The man be-
hind the gun is now hy all the world
recognized as never before, a factor in
the progress of the future. The working
man in the United States has always
been a power. Henceforth he is to be
still more necessary and important.
1.-TWO mighty agencies have in the past
contributed to the advancement of man;
education and commerce. Nowhere upon
the face of the globe has general public
education proceeded farther or scored
greater triumphs than in our favored
land.
"In years agone the sails of American
ships whitened every sea- OF late par
tial paralysis had fallen upon one of the
great agencies of civilization among us.
Our commerce was neglected and the car
rying trade of the world had fallen into
other hands. Recent stirring events seem
fated to arouse our citizens from what
had otherwise been a fatal sleep.
Foreign trade must now receive a vast
and needed impetus and the wonderful
and unsurpassed energies OF our people
be given greater opportunity and advan-
tage. The final result is not for a mo-
ment in doubt.
American manhood can no longer he
denied its rightful position of priority
achieved through the prevalence of free
Institutions. Not only the man behind
the gun, but the man behind the ma
chine will in future receive the need of
praise and the share of profit which is
his right and due.
Let us then all Loyalty join in cele-
brating this American holiday to the end
that not only may the worth and dignity
of labor be recognized, but that we may
take such meet and proper steps as shall
result in further eleyating and improv-
ing the condition of the laborer and his
family.
In witness whereof / have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal
OF the state of Washington to be affixed

MIR. LEROY MORROW KILLED.

Mr.. Leroy Morrow, Of Gastonia, a
brother of Mr.. Pelham Morrow, Of York
vile, and owner of roller flour mills at
Yorkville and Gastonia, met with sad
and tragic death in Gastonia last Saturday
afternoon, by being thrown from horse.
The tragedy occurred OH the Blacksburg
road just without the incorporate limits
of Gastonia. Mr.. Morrow was trying to
break favorite young thoroughbred colt
to the saddle. The animal was full of
spirit and energy, and in its struggles
threw Mr.. Morrow against tree, frac-
turing his skull. This happened at about
o'clock. When people near by reached
the spot, Mr.. Morrow was unconscious.
He continued to breathe for just II
hours; but did not recover consciousness
during that time.
Mr.. Morrow was about 4S years of age,
and was one Of the most prominent and
successful business men of Gastonia. His
tragic death profoundly shocked the en-
tire town, and at his funeral which was
conducted on Monday afternoon by the
Masonic fraterity, was an immense crowd
Of people. He leaves widow and three
children, provided for with comfortable
competence, which includes life insur-
ance policy for s., 900.

lumba. The list, as sent to Clerk Wylie,
was minus two whole townships. OF
course Clerk Wylie could not pay out any
money under the circumstances and he
Immediately wrote to Columbia. The
comptroller general replied on Monday
and stated that he did not have the money
on hand but instructed Clerk Wylie to go
on and pay ont in accordance with the list
sent, with the following names added:
II. b. Wallace, J. II. Wallace, J. J.
White, Daniel Wallace. There is no
money in Columbia with which to pay
Bethel and Bethesda township names;
but the comptroller hopes to collect a suf-
ficient amount from sums left over from
last year and still in the hands of the va
rious county clerks. Ip connection with
this matter THE ENQUIRER begs to say
that last year it went to the expense of
having list of York county pensioners
copied from the books in advance and
published the same. AS the result num-
ber of errors were corrected before the
time came to forward the money. This
year the comptroller general caused to be
published a statement to the effect that he
would furnish lists to county papers that
would apply for it. THE ENQUIRER ap-
piled at once, month ago, and was in
formed that the list would be furnished
as soon as completed. Had the promise
Of the comptroller generals office been
complied with the present muddle would
have easily been avoided.

DISPENSARY WINS.

The original package system must 60.
Such is the effect of a decision of the
United States supreme court filed last
Monday. The first news received in this
section came to THE ENQUIRER Monday
afternoon in dispatch from Mr.. August
Kohn, of Columbia, as follows:
Governor Ellerbe received telegram
today announcing that the supreme court
had sustained the dispensary law with
the exception Of the inspection feature.
In the Associated Press dispatches pub
lshed Tuesday morning fuller details are
given as follows:
WASHINGTON, May 9.-In the United
States supreme court today the South
Carolina liquor law was again made the
subject of a decision which was handed
pensary law having been amended since
the recent decisions holding it invalid,
today's decision deals with the new law.
This law attempted to eliminate the feat
ure of the old law discriminating against
other states in the shipment Of liquor to
individuals for their own use in South
Carolina, but while this inhabitation was
eliminated and the privilege restored in
the new law it was accompanied with
conditions of inspection which it was
claimed still amounted to discrimination.
The court in today's decision accepted
this view of the case, holding that the
inspection provision of the law was tanta-
mount to a denial of the right of inter-
state commerce and therefore antagonis-
tic to the constitution of the United
States. The court held, however, that the
portion of the law regulating the sale OF
original packages within the state was
valid. The decision was rendered in the
cook company, of California. The decis-
ion i'm the United States circuit court for
South Carolina was in favor of the Cali
tornia company. The opinion rendered
today had the effect Of affirming this Opin-
ion in part and reversing it in part, and
the case was remanded with Instructions
to proceed accordingly.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Shras
and Mckenna diSSentcd as to the portion
of the opinion reversing any part of the
decision of the court below. They took
the position that the law in its entirety is
i'm violation of the constitution, and that
the opinion antagonstic to it should be
sustained.
The court reversed the opinion Of the
circuit court for South Carolina in the case
dealing with the seizure of liquors ship
ped into South Carolina by NandercO0k
IL Company, on the ground that the court
had no jurisdiction. :.
Senator Tillman, the author of the dis
pensary law, says that the part that is re-
jected by the supreme court will not Affect
the workings of the law and that the point
sustained is sufficient. He had already
secured the passage of bill in the senate

wanted Mr.. McElwee to run for inten-
dant. Mr.. McElwee and Mr.. Adickes
belong very much to the same party.
But Mr.. McElwee would not consent to
the use of his name. However, from
what has been done in the past, there is
no guarantee that all those who participa-
ted in last Friday nights meeting arc
going to abide what they did. 1t is easily
possible that at the last minute, an effort
will be made to defeat Mr.. Carroll, and il
so, there is little reason to suppose that
Mr.. O'Leary will serve.
So far as THE ENQUIRER is concerned
it is satisfied with the ticket just as il
stands. 1t recognizes that this showing
up of matters may be pitched upon as
preteXt for the carrying out of a bolt,
which had probably been agreed upon
before the existence of this article was
known. But if so, all right, we can stand
it. We know that the present dominant
faction does not like last Friday nights
developments, and we have had intima-
tiCns already that there would be bolt.
If so, however, the business and other in
terests of the town will continue to suffer
outrageously and there will be no relief
until municipal party lines are drawn as
tight as bowstrings.

INVASION OF CUBA.
Will Take Place When the Spanish Fleet
Is Disposed Of.

will Take Place When the Spanish Fleet
Is Disposed Of.
The Washington Post, of Monday,
has the following
Between 10000 and $4,000 men will
be landed on Cuban soil at once. They
will wear the uniform of the United
States and they will not return until
they have defeated the Spanish forces
on the island aud the American flag
floats as proudly over Havana as it
does over the ruins of the Cavite for
tress in Manila harbor.
This is the idea Of the military ad-
visers of the administration, and the
president has approved the plans.
The first section of the army to in
wade Cuba will be the $4,000 or $4,000
troops now assembled at New Orleans
and Tampa. They are all regulars and
most of them are men who have seen
fighting on the plains. They are seas
oned, disciplined, effective. They will
be followed at once by another army
of $4,000 volunteers, who will be con-
centrated at southern ports as quickly
as the trains can carry them, and will
be transported as fast as the necessary
ships can be collected. 1t is estimated
that it will take at least 800 vessels to
move this immense army to Cuba.
Nearly everything that floats has
already been secured by the govern
ment, and last night the wires were
hot in all directions directing contracts
to be closed Immediately in the prin-
cipal seaport towns.
Other details of the great expedition
have been arranged. Within As hours
there will be 1000 wagons at Tampa
and 10000 mules. Several hundred
ambulances will also be hurried to
Tampa. They may be needed. Bat
ties are not all like the one which has
just been fought in Manila harbor.

to meet the objections which the former
decision rendered invalid but says that it
it will not be necessary under the deci-
sion today to have the bill pass tho house.
The effect of this decision is to close the
original package shops generally and
make the "agents" liable to terms in the
penitentiary. Individuals may continue
to order from without the state in origi-
nal packages for personal use and have
the same delivered without interference.
In answer to question over the tele-
phone Tuesday morning, Mr.. w. r. Mas
sey, of Tirzah, informed THE ENQUIRER
that the original package shop at that
place had been closed for more than a
week. The closing was in anticipation OF
the decision just rendered.

What promises to be one of the
most formidable regiments which will
20 to Cuba, is that which is to be un-
der the command of Colonel Leonard
Wood, President McKinley's family
physician. The regiment is to be
composed of picked rough riders,
principally from the west, who are to
be selected more especially with refer
ence to their regulations for courage,
discretion, craftsmanship and general
ability to take care of themselves.
The late assistant secretary of the
navy, Theodore Roosevelt, is to be
lieutepant-colonel and fighting leader.
Already there have been three times
as many applicants for membership in
the regiment as are desired. Many OF
the accepted applicants are Yale and
Harvard men from the western states
men who not only have education,
wealth and position but who are
dead shots, with experience and cour-
age. Then there is also the pick from
the ranks of the cowboys of Arizona,
New Mexico and Texas. Roosevelt's
friends have christened the regiment
as "Teddy's Terrors," and it is under
stood that the men are to earn this
soubriquet by their deeds. The men
are to trough it" in all that is implied
by the term, and they are to give back
before no Spanish force however large.
They are to die first. In other words,
it is the ambition of the leaders and
the determination of the privates, to
take advantage of this opportunity to
secure for their organization an inter-
national reputation for courage and
intrepidity, and establish name which
they expect to be perpetuated like
that of the immortal Gordon High
landers, of Scotland. The regiment
will be one of the first to 60 to Cuba,
and it expects to be in at the storming
of Havana.

- Henry G. Ladd, who is serving the
New York Journal as special correspon-
dent at Hong Kong, cables that paper
that during the battle of Manila, Com
modore Dewey and Captain Lambert
stood on the pilot house of the Olympia
without any protection against the shot

and destroying fire of their
own sailors. Captain Frank Wildes, OF

promenaded the decks OF his ship, fam
ming himself with a palm leaf fan and
watching his men carry out his orders,
with as much self-possession as if at an
ordinary naval display.
