why are We FightinR2

A strong consideration which
cannot be ignored iromth South
ern standpoint is the mystery
which envelcps the object for
which the war is being waged A
war for imperialism is as unpopu.
laTIn the South as it in the East.
Il it were simply a question Of sus
tanning the Administration IN just
cause here would be no lack OF
enthusiasm in any part of the
country, and the Southern States
would give the Government all the
volunteers that might be required.
But IN view Of the conviction that
the Administration is conducting
a war OF conquest and territorial
aggrandlzenent, not TO uphold the
national honor, but TO commit the
country to a dangerous policy in
conflict with our traditions and
ANSNANlAlOASI IL 10 uO "OuuCE AhdN
the South fesitates. A war
waged under such conditions and
for such purposes is not and never
will be a popular war" in the
South. In the absence of an ex-
plIcit stltement from the Admins
tration that IL does NOT intend TO
hold the Philippines permanently
as a con luered province, it may be
reasonably assumed that It is
committed, without reservation, to
the most radical form OF imperial
ism. To such a policy not only
the South but the majority Of the
American people are opposed. as
the Administration will discover
in good season.

More DelAyl

Captain Oberlin M. Carter.
United States Corps OF Engineers,
was tried by court martial 4sI days
ago, and found guilty OF having de-
irauded the Government Of over
81, ,6oo,o
He was sentenced to a fne of
Sto, 900, three years imprisonment
and dismissal from the army.
There was not the slightest doubt
ofhis guilt. His case was reviewed
by thirty legal and military off
eials, and all found con elusive
proof tn It he was a criminal.
His crime was infinitely worse
than that OF a common thief or
burglar, for he appropriated funds
which had been intrusted to his
honor as an officer.
In spite OF these facts. Captain
Carter has up to the present time
retained his freedom, his position,
his sword and his salary. He has
been living ia luxurious apart
ments and squandering gaily the
money which should have been
spent on the haroor improvements
Of Savannah.
The blame for this obstruction
OF justice can b traced through
the red tape mazes Of officialdom
up to President Mckinley.
Either because Carter is from
Ohio or because OF the political
influence Of his friends, Mr.. Nc
KinleY has shown an indefensible
desire to Tighten or remit his SEN
tence.
This conduct of the President
must necessarily have very injuri
Gus effect upon the public mind,
DESTROYING confidence in the im.
partiality OF the law.
For the lesser crime OF obtain
ing SIS, 900 under false pretences,
Lord William Neville is now serv-
ing out a sentence of FIVE years in
the Norwood Scrubs Prison,
England. He was a lieutenant in
the British army, and his father
was one OF the pillars OF the Tory
party, yet he received prompt pun
ishment for his crime.
Why has there been this long
delay in Captain Carter's case'
The American people would like
to know the secret Of Mr.. McKIn
ley's affection for this uniformed
swindler.

Sale or Malt Extracts.

Quentin Mackall, representing
the drug firm OF Mackall Brothers,
was released on his personal re.
cognizance when taken to the
Police Court last Thursday to an
sWer charge OF selling liquor at
wholesale without license. The
Mackails are the retailers Of a
malt preparation, usually sold at
soda fountains, which, It is claimed
contains sufficient alcohol to bring
its sale under the liquor laws. A
jury trial was demanded by the
defendant.

The Anti saloon League Prepares
for Work

The Anti Balloon League Prepares
for Work
The session of the national
executive committee OF the Amer
ican Anti. Saloon League was held
here last week. AT this meeting Il
was decided to open headquarters
In Washington prior to the begin
ming OF the session OF Congress
with competent workers OF the
League on hand to watch all legIs-
lauon relative to the liquor ques
ton. There vas a good attenc-
ance OF prominent m n, among
whom was the malignant opponent
oil Admiral Schley-Secrerary
Long; Rev. H. II. Russell, Of
Delaware, Ohio; Rev P. H. Baker,
oi Columbus, Ohio; Archbishop
Ireland OF s. Paul. and several
Congressman whom we shall refer
to later. The league has decided
to carefully watch the course OF
each Senator and Representative
ia his attitude toward the saloon
question. II his actions are favor
able TO the principles Of the league
they will support him in his future
aspirations. II he iaVors the brew
ing interests, the league would
fight him with all its might. Rev.
Mr.. Russell at one stage Of the
proceedings stated that they were
IN a position TO do those who op
pose them much harm, politically,
as may be seen by the strength OF
the league, which is daily growing.
It already has strong organizations
in thirty-tWo States and Territories
with a total ofIas salaried officers,
and measures have been taken 10
Strengthen the league financially.
We also will keep our eye out
for any Congressman who shall
be foolish enough to be Influenced
by these fanatics TO vote for or ad-
voeste any measure detrimental to
the interests Of our patrons.

RevertinE again to Slavery.

A RETURNED officer from the
Philippines has pointed out that IN
certain Of the islands we must sup
port a Mahometan despotism, with
human slavery for an accompani-
ment, or we must enter upon a
war OF conquest that will tax our
resources far more severely than
the war against the Tagals has
done. Either horn Of that dilemma
is an ugly prong for a liberty low
ing nation to be impaled upon.

The Duty or the Hour.

The Duty or the Hour.
Democrats, your opportunity is
at hand. Do not neglect it. II
the people can We made to realize
the perhdy OF the administration,
it will be all that will be necessary
to cause such a reaction against
the Republican party that it will
not only be hurled from power but
driven into exile for a generation.
The insolence and arrogance Of
the cabal OF moneyed men who are
using the administration to further
their schemes OF exploitation is OF
such a brutal character that they
hesitate at nothing that promises
to give them an additional dollar
or render their power more fornid-
able. This class is one Of the pro-
ducts OF this age Of rampant COM
mercialism. They are impervious
themselves to moral forces, and
are seemingly oblivious Of the ex-
istence OF such forces. Hence the
coarseness Of their methods and
such an utter lack Of shame that
they have thrown aside much OF
the hYpocritical cant formerly used
to disguise their purposes. The
gang that is holding sway and
directing the administration under
Mckinley are so destitute of NOR
ality and virtue themselves that
they fail to recognize these quail
ties in others.
The duty OF Democrats is plain.
1t is to quicken the intellect and
the conscience of our people by
education. The duty Of the hour
is to see that every American home
is visited weekly by such news
papers as represent the peoples
cause and are not in the service OF
Msmmon. Spurn the free gifts of
reading matter, whether in the
form OF weekly editions Of a sub
sidized commercial press furnished
at a price often less than one
fourth Of the cost, or pamphlets
furnished free. Remember that
the enemies of liberty who have
undertaken the overthrow of the
republic and the establishment OF
a military despotism are now in
the midst OF their deadly work and
that their success depends upon
confusing the intellects of honest
people. Therefore, arouse your
selves now while time is on your
side. Remember that your work
must be done this year. Next year
sides will be taken by the people,
after which their ignorance or their
preiudlces cannot be easily over
come. After the money kings
start the tree distribution Of news
papers and pamphlets and the air
is filled with the eloqueuce OF party
spell binders and the noise and
glare of fireworks il wIll be too late
to reclaim honest voters who can
easily be reclaimed il the right
reading matter is put IN their hands
this year. Duty calls to act now.
Next year NAV be too late. Let
US accept the call Of duty and
enter at once upon the work OF
arousing the intellect and consci-
ence OF the nation. II we do our
duty in this regard we cannot fail.
