The primary departments under
charge of Miss Baird and Mrs. Smith

lence of smallpox in the city, and
upon the suggestion of the Board of
Health, the programs were dispensed
with. On Friday afternoon Miss

children of their department lawn
fete, which was greatly enjoyed by
the little ones.
Saturday afternoon Mrs. Mary

ENTERTAINMENTS.

Mrs. L. p. Padgett invited the la
dies and officers OF the First g. p.
Church to meet with the Ladies' Kid
Society last Tuesday afternoon at
her home near the city. Quite a
number accepted the invitation, and
the hostess extended each guest
such warm, gracious welcome that
the spirit was caught up at once and
kept afioat until the whole house
was pervaded with good humor and
warmth of feeling. The regular
business was dispensed with, only
short devotional exercises being
held. Opening the mie-box aud
allowing each one guess at the
contents, was an amusing feature.
The one guessing nearest the amount
was allowed the honor of making
the first contribution to the. next
box. DR.. Akin and Mesdames AL
len and Cakes guessed within a
penny of the amount. Another
pleasing feature of the evening was
the serving of refreshments, which
were indeed very tempting. Mrs.
Padgett was graciously assisted by
Mesdames Grant, Sims Latta, T. d.
gar Latt, Simmie Johnson and
Misses Bernice Johnson and Bessie
Padgett.

The commencement exercises of
the Columbia Public School were
held in the school building yesterday
morning, beginning at 10 O'Clock.
Several weeks ago, when there was

Opera House. Consequently, the
exercises of the lowler grades were
dispensed with, and only the COM

day morning was as follows.

OPTIMISM At mASHINnroN.

49, So ~ ,a'f
The fact that Aguinaldo has proposed
! to send a commission TO Manila to dis.
cuss terms OF peace has intensified the
optimistic feeling that has prevailed In
Washington for some time. Even be-
fore the ENJOYS from General Luna
came within our lines with a PROPOSE
ton for an armistice there was a conf
len feeling at the national capital that
the end Of hostilitics was at hand and
while there appears to have been no
abatement on the part of the enemy in
preparations for more fighting, Wash
ington continues sangulnc.
We have thought there was good
ground for this and certainly the latest
move of Aguinaldo seems to warrant
belief that the Filipinos strongly desire
peace but we should not be surprised
If the result of the renewed effort TO
put an md to the conflict were disap-
pointing. In view of the fact that Gen
eral Otis has distinctly declared that
nothing short of unconditional surren-
der will be considered and also the fact
that the Filipino leaders are fully in
formed in regard to the present policy
Of the United States toward them, it Is
not easy to understand what A%guinaldo
hopes to accomplish, except possibly TO
gain time, by sending another commits
sion to Manila. He has been plainly
told just what to expedite ultima
tum is clearly detincd-and he ought TO
understand that parleying will not
change it. Perhaps, however, he sim
ply wants additional assurance of this,
through a new set of ENJOYS. At all
events, the sending of another commits
sion, direct from A%guinuldo, is certainly
Il decided indication that peace may be
nan,

ANOTHER COMPLICATION.

General Gomez has declined to fur
Their represent the Cuban army in con-
nection with the distribution of the fund
contributed by the United States gov
eminent for the payment of the soldiers.
He could patiently and persistently war
against the Spaniards, as he did in two
instructions but he canno endure the
opposition and criticism of Il diSsatis-
fled cabal of Cuban military officers
who think they ought to have more
money than his government has al
lowed them and are disposed to be
troublesome. The arrangement that
was effected between Mr.. Robert =.
the Cuban soldiers, was the best that
could be made. The gratuity of
$4,000 600 by this government was lib
cral. But Il number of the officers of
the Cuban army were not satisfied with
it and have been doing everything pos
authorities in the efforts to have this
important matter disposed of.
These men have persistently abused
Gomez. They secured his removal as
commander of the army and not con-
tent with that have continued to de-
nounce him. He has quite naturally
become Disguised with such treatment
and has left it with General Brooke to
dispose of the funds as he shall think
proper. The probability is that Brooke
will not tolerate much trifling on the
part of the malcontents. He has been
very indulgent and it is likely that he
will decide that the soldiers must take
the money at once and comply with the
conditions, or it will be withdrawn and
measures taken to force the army to
disband. 1t is possible that such a
curse would create some trouble, but
it seems to be necessary if the matter
is to be disposed of in any reasonable
time. Evidently there are some Cubans
who are not impressed by kindness and
magnanimity.

4 QUESTION.

1t is stated that the republican Lead
ers of the house of representatives of
the Fifty-siXth congress intend to put
through the shipping bill as reported to
the senate in n modified form at the
last session. 1t is said to be the pur-
pose to make this subject prominent in
the state campaigns this fall, whenever
opportunity offers, in the belief that
the only thing necessary to make the
people practically unanimous in support
of the measure is to have them thor
Oughly well informed on the subject. 1t
is remarked that while in nearly every
direction the trade and Industries of the
United States are growing, the Ameri-
can merchant marine i'll the foreign
trade is declining. There never was Il
time when more shipping was being
built for the cOaStwiSe trade, which Is
protected by an absolute prohibition
against foreign ships engaging in that
trade. 1t Is stated that over 100000
600 worth of shipping for the coastwise
trade Is under construction in the
United States, but not n single vessel
is being built for the foreign trade. In
view of the fact that all the leading
nations of the world are bidding for
the growing trade in the Pacific and
the United States has an interest in
that trade second TO no other country,
it cannot be difficult for anybody to
understand the Importance of this sub
ject of an American merchant marine.
We have repeatedly said that in its
relation to the expansion of American
commerce there Is no matter of so
great Importance as that of building
up a merchant marine adequate to the
demands of that m We think
no one familiar with the subject will
| question that the fact of our slow
progress in obtaining trade in South
America has been to no small extent
due to our not having American steam
ship lines, flying our own flag, running
between the ports nj the United States
and the principal ports of the countries
south of us. Many public men and
merchants of South America have
pointed to this lack as a distinct him
drance to our securing trade. 1t may be
true that trade does not necessarily fol-
low the flag, but it is none the less a
fact that the nation which is able to
carry its commodities to the markets of
the world in ships under its own flag
enjoys an advantage over countries that
cannot do 50. If Il want in this re-
spect has been unfayorable to our eff
forts To obtain trade in the countries
south of us, is it not n most reasonable
conclusion that it will also operate
against us in the Oriental trade? 1t
seems TO us TO be perfectly obvious
