McLAURIN THE STATESMAN.
lie Has Not Lost His Head In the
WAR Excifemnut.

The speech Of Senator McLaurin, OF
South Carolina, was the feature OF
Thursdays debate on the war rovonuc
bill. Tho money sharks arc trying to
forco large but unnecessary bond is
sue. They arc moro concerned about that
than thoy arc about the taking of Cuba
with characteristic coldblooded calcu.
lation they roalizo that tho American
people arc apt to allow the way anxiety
to oycrshadOw selfish aims, and undci
tho protenso of public safety, it is good
time to line pockets with private profits
But the following synopsis of his re-
marks as reported by tho Associated
Press, shows that Senator Mclaurin not
only understands tho situation, but has
the manhood to sound the alarm:
Mr.. MoLaurin democrat, S. ca
opened the discussion of the bill to. day
with carefully prepared speech, touch
ing all OF its features. He was ready, he
said, to vote for any measure that would
tend to bring tho war to u successful con-
clusion. People on tho island of Cuba
are dying every hour. Their condition
is beyond tho power of description.
Every day now means the loss of hun
Cuba. Mr.. McLaurin declared. I,iborty
on Tho island is at stake and tho war has
placed our national prestige at stake.
Concerning. tho proposed issue of
bonds, he said that thore was an influ.
nnce at work in this country moro powor-
full than tho President, moro potent than
Congress-. 1t was tho silent secret inhu-
enco of the money power which was en-
doaVoring to forco an issue of bonds.
once tho Senate, tho forum Of tho people,
yields to this clamOr, Mr.. McLallrin do
clarod and becomes entanglod. in tho
moshep OF the money octopus, tho people
will suffor indeed. "There is an army In
this country" said he, 'just as anxious
to raid the United Statos Treasury az
our volunteers arc to raid tho island of
Cuba. 70 tho army refer to no vOlun-
tecrs arc needed. These jobbers and
spectators form % greater monaco to us
than tho war with SPAIN"
Mr.. McLaurin dofondod tho bill as re-
ported by the majority of tho finance
committee, and hoped that, with tho
possible exception of tho stamp tax,
which he deemod unnecessary, tho bill
would pass as reported.
Ho strongly urged tho adoption of the
proposition to issuo legal tondcr notes.
1T is tho dealers in futures" declared
Mr.. McLaurin, "the financial speoulators
and cormorants, tho transportation com.
panios, the manufactures of ammunition
who mako money out Of tho war. Upon
these tho financial burdens Of tho Wal
ought to fall, and not upon tho families
of tho mon who 20 TO tho front TO fight
for thoir country"
At tho conclusion of Mr.. McT.aurin's
speech, the clerk proceeded with the
reading of the bill

The War Situation.

Tho war situation romans unchanged.
4 Tho past woek has Witnessed no oonfliots
i of arms worthy Of note. Tho Spanish fleet
under command of Admiral Cevera
soems to be bottled up at Santiago dc
Cuba. Admirals Sampson and Sohley
arc maintaining strict blockade OF Ha,
yana and all ports on north of Cuba.
! Their scouts have tho Spanish feet closely
Z guarded. A great naval engagement
between tho American and Spanish fleet
! is daily expected. Tho rumors OF Dig
fights during tho past woek wore wild
and unfounded. But something will

not probable that an invasion of Cuba

JOnaey Jones.
Columbia Chronicle,


The student of Latin who reached even
so far as Caesars Commentaries never
forgets that "Ai Gaul divided into three
parts" AS Caesar divided Gaul, SO did
our Congressman Jones divide his work in
the last congress.
One part OF his congressional record con-
sisted Of the introduction Of a bill provid-
ing that all newspaper articles should be
subscribed by the writer. That bill got no
farther than the Introduction. 1t proba-
bly, served the only purpose possible for it
made its author ridiculous.
The second part consisted of a long
speech on the free coinage OF silver at the
ratio of Is TO l. introducing the famous
chart. showing how when wheat goes up
silver goes up, and when silver goes down
wheat goes down. Shortly after the intro
duction of the celebrated chart the price
or wheat went up even 10 beyond the
dollar limit. while silver did not go up
at all. It remained stationary And
even 4 blind man could see that Jones
chart was got up for the purpose OF mis-
leading the uniformed.
The third part Of Jones congressional
career consisted of his torpedo boat ar
gIment. Jones made a minute examina-
ton OF torpedo boat and became con-
WINGED. and so advised his constituents
and congress that the torpedo boat was
l.
ed: that 1t was unwise for the government
to invest any more money in such battle
ships as the Oregon. the Iowa. the Massa-
chrsetts and the Indiana. hut that il
should buy many torpedo boats; that the
naval warfare Of the future would be
torpedo boat against torpedo boat
Unfortunately for Jones. the Mains was
blown UP and this government declared
wa against Spain. and the Oregon has
demonstrated itseif TO be the mos. use
ful and altogether the best warship, that
floats. Every time q torpedo boat has
got within gunshot OF even one OF our
cruisers il has gone to the bottom. No
body, not even Jones, can now believe
that the torpedo boat is OF much, If any.
value in real war.
Jones is bad guesser- Jones would
do well TO keep absolutely quiet and say
nothing. But silence is golden and
speech is silver. therefore Jones mis-.
talk. Like Polly. he talks too mucn.
Poor Jones,

Tnay be retained IN spite Of Lava is shown
~ the fact that this IS the frs, time
such a defense has been raised. al
though the decision is made in accord
ance with law which was passed in
territorial days. By the legislature ot
1852. By that law 1t ss provided that "a
mortgage OF real property shall not De
deemed a conveyance, so as 10 enable
the owner Of the mortgage TO recover
possession Of the real property without
foreclosure and sale according 10
law" and the court holds tha, since
such enactment a mortgage executed In
this state. whatever its terms, has been
merely security incident TO and for
the payment Of the principal debt The
statute is also expressive Of the public
policy Of the state vesting the right Of
the possession In the nlortgagor abso-
iuteiy until a decree and sale
The supreme court of the United
States has gone even further and de-
clares this to be the general view OF
American courts OF equity. and 1t re-
fused TO allow a mortgage 10 have the
rents and profits prior 10 foreclosure,
even where specific stipulation was
written III the mortgage in which the
mortgage agreed 10 deliver possession
Of the mortgaged premises.
The doctrine Of public policy is being
extended. How far this paternaIIsm in
government may go with safety is still
a doubtful question. For the time. how
ever, We are considering the law only as
1t has been interpreted in our courts,
and not the ultimate consequences.

This is the 9Th day OF August, and no
news has been received Of Waitemath's
moon. DIR. George Waltemath. of Ham,
burg, Germany. who is the son OF a
Californian. is hunting for a stray
moon. Il should have crossed the sun,
he says, on or about July 81 or within
the first few days of August. The course
OF the moon should be. according to his
calculations, from left TO right, and it
should not take longer than an hour
and five minutes for its transit across
the suns surface.
This eccentric moon is said to have
been seen before the sun on February
9th at Weisbaden, Germany, and by
three German officers in China. AS it
runs in direction contrary to that Of
the bright moon, and its course is very
eccentric. it is not clear why it should
be called moon, since it cannot be sub
ordinate to our control. The discoverer
says il is real weather and magnet
moon and whenever it is about to cross
the eartk's course it dlsturbs the at
mosphere and surface Of the earth. pro-
ducing storms. rain. tempests, magnetic
deviations and earthquakes. which are.
OF course, much stronger when the
Moon comes closer to the earth.
1t would be very useful to find moon
which did these things, because we
could so much more accurately foreteu
the kind Of weather we are TO have
The discoverer OF this moon has not IA
Vored US with the data upon which he
bases his belief and it need hardly be
said that astronomers are very skep-
teal about the existence of a body
which acts so contrarily 10 all accepted
notions Of the order OF the celestial
bodies. Tie one encouraging thing
about this moon is that as it appears
early in February and should appear
again some time in August. it comes
within our range of vision often enough
10 be discovered and identified. II Mr.
Waltemath will kindly stay up at nights
TIL he can locate Ii, the whole world
will be very glad 10 watch for it here
after. II would he as well e him TO
have some corroborative testimony SO
that should its eccentric orbit take 1t
beyond our range he may not be sub
jected to the suspicion OF having only
imagined that he saw a little ball roll
ing across the surface OF the sun.

IAvORJNG THE DEBTOR.

principles or in accordance with long

doubt as 10 what Is the true principle.

\ very notable instance Of this occurs
In case the report OF which has Just

the debtor as against the creditor ana
gives him ii decided advantage. We do
not claim for the supreme court that Il
was actuated by friendship for the
debtor, but only that II was guided 10y
what Ii believed to be a true !nterpreta-
ton az the law. But II would not he
any more improper TO charge them
With attempting - curry favor with
the debtor who resides in the state than
with seeking the favor of the creditor
who usually does not, simply because
