republicans much harm in Ohio, and
is trying to bring influence to bear
upon Mr.. Shermal to get him to re-
pudiate it outright, or, if he cannot
be made to go that far, to say that
what be said was exaggerated by the
reporter.
Notwithstanding official denials
everything points to the correctness
of the press reports from Manila, stat
ing that there is clash between the
military ard civilian members of the
Philippine Commission as to how the
Filipinos should be dealt with. In
the first place, if these statements
had not been absolutely correct they
would not have been allowed to pass
the strict censorship at Manila. It
is stated upon good authority that
this clash was of such serious
nature that General Otis appealed to
Mr. Mckinley, and intimated as
strongly as a military man may with
pre- cpriety to the Commandment Chief
of the Army that unless he was sus,
tained in the controversy he would
ask to be relieved Of duty in the
Philippines. It is understood that
Mr.. Mckinley decided to uphold Otis
and that was why the official denial
of any clash of authority in the com,
mission was given out.
Although two of the speakershir
candidates-Hopkins OF Ills, and
Sherman, of n. Y. are in Washington
as we'll rs numerous other politicians
politics had to take back seat this
week to give the people chance tc
enjoy the three day Peace Jubilee
which closed tonight with a nam.

shrieking their woes, but when the
time comes to vote, the trusts, COM
bines and monopolies rule the ballot
box; it is therefore useless to predict
a Democratic victory next year; moth
ing short of revolution can drive
the Republican party from the politi-
cal trenches. William Mckinley will
be renominated and so will William
J. Bryan and it really does not mat
ter whether Bryan plays on the free
silver cornet or the anti-imperialist
harp, the die is cast and Mckinley
will be reelected by large majority.
The Republicans have gotten the
country in the midst of a stream
and just as sure as fate, the American
people will refuse to swap horses IN
such position. This sounds like equeer
doctrine for a Democratic news
paper, but it is our sincere views
and we believe in giving expression
to them with candor. Bryan is the
greatest leader the Democracy has
had il many years, honest, sincere
and full of fire, but he is wasting time
running after the Presidency at this
time; he would be OF greater service
to his country We're he to stop chas-
ing rainbow and go to work in the
halls OF Congress where his voice and
vote could count The only possible
chance for a Democratic victory in
1900 lies in the folly of the Republl-
can party refusing to renominate Nc
kiniey; should such an error be
made, then Bryan stands a chance
to carry his party on to victory, 9TH
erwise there is no more chance for
Democratic victory than there is for
a cat in hades without claws.

The Cuban soldiers are rather
chary about taking Uncle Sans three
million dollars with tie understand
ing that they must give up their arms;
so far very little of the money has
been paid out because Of the opposi-
ton by the Cuban leaders. Things
are not as serene on the Island as we
would like to see, and we may have
an outbreak at any time. In that
event our government lately engaged
in freeing the Cubans from the op-
pressions of Spain, will have to insti-
tute war to suppress those for whom
so much life has been spent. We be-
lieve it was Lieutenant lotion who
predicted a few years ago, that this
country would have many wars, and
it looks as If Tottens prophesy is

Washington Letter.
(From our Regular Correspondert.)

(From our Regular Correspondent)
Washington, D. c., May 10, 1899.
That another very serious mistake
was made by this administration
when it instructed the American del
egates to the Cars disarmament con-
ference, now sitting at the Hague, to
join the British delegates in working
to secure an agreement of the nations
represented for international arbitra-
ton, is believed by many close stu
dents ofinternational politics. Should
such an agreement be entered into
the U. S. would be likely to get the
worst of every question submitted to
arbitration that effects European in
terests, for the very simple reason
that a majority Of the arbitrators
would necessarily be European, pos
sessing the natural prejudice that
every man feels against the iuhabi-
tants of another hemisphere Sens-
tor Stewart, whose wide experience
in public life and close study of histo-
ry makes his opinion entitled 10 con-
sideration, says that he will live to
deeply regret it, if We enter any arbi-
tration agreement with the European
nations; that every dicision under
such an agreement would certainly be
anti-American, and that we will be all
the time fighting a hostile combina-
ton from which we can expect neither
Justice nor fairplay.
Ex-Governor Evans of South Caro-
lima, who has just returned from Gu
ba, where be was serving on the staff
of Gen. Ludlow, who is in command
OF the city OF Havana, hasn't high
opinion OF the Cubans. He says the
talk about the patriotism OF the Cuban
soldiers is all bosh; that there is no
such thing in existence; that with
few exceptions, they were actuated by
desire for plunder and to hold Office.
He also says that Coxey's army was a
band of aristocratic gentlemen by
comparison with the followers of Co.
mez, and that it would be far great
er crime against civilization to allow
these men to control the island than
it would have been to have left the
Spaniards in control, and that prop
erty-owners over there are unanimous
for annexation.
Secretary Wilson of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, who has just re-
turned from a Southern trip, is in
clinea to grow enthusiastic over what
he believes will be accomplished by
the Southern people in the near
future. He says, among other inter
esting things, that they will in the
course of time grow all the tea con-
sumed in this country, and manufac-
ture practically all the cotton they
grow, and OF the people: "The uni

Since the recent spur in the prices
of manufactured goods there has been
many converts in this State to the
protective tariff idea, and were poll
tics eliminated and vote taken upon
the question of free trade or protec-
ton, it would not surprise US If the
result was very surprising. A mans
pocket often affects his views on po-
litical measures and if our manufac-
turers find protection good thing
for their output they will certainly
aid any effort to bring about such a
sentiment in this State.

Disease fastened its clutches upon her and
for seven years she withstood its severest
tests, but her vital organs were undermined
and death seemed imminent. For three
months she conghed necessarily, and could
not sleep. She finally discovered way to
recovery, by purchasing Of us bottle of

The war in the Philippines is not
ended yet, although the dispatches q
few days ago indicated cessation OF
hostilities with an almost sure pros
pect of final surrender of the Fill
pipos. Later reports, however, show
that the forces Of Aguinaldo are not
vet overcome, and instead of being
on the verge of throwing up their
hands, they have renewed their activ-
ities and are giving the American
forces so much fight that more SOL
diers will be needed to drive the saw
age Filipinos into the ranks of civil
zation. 1t is our opinion that if the
United States government can find a
place to slip out of the awkward po-
sition it has placed itself in by this
imitation of British policy, it would
willingly do so, because it has been
fully demonstrated that the people
are not in sympathy with the move
ment. It is costing too much blood
and treasure. Now that the wet sea-
son has about set in, simply means
death to our soldiers with very little
having been accomplished, and it is
being limited that the savage Fill
pinos have succeeded in outwitting
US in diplomacy, by having the fight
ing stopped to gain time and organ
ize their scattered forces. The terms
OF surrender offered by them were
such as General Otis could not agree
to, and the Filipinos did not expect
him to, all they wanted was time and
this they succeeded in getting. Now
they are fighting harder than ever,
and before peace is declared in the
Philippines, many poor American
will fill foreign grave.

The grand jury OF Florence county
in their presentment to the recent
term OF court say that bribes were
offered to school trustees for their
signatures to warrants to pay for the
famous maps and charts. State Su-
perintendent of Education McAahan

forbidding the payment OF the war
rants, having the Attorney Generals
opinion that they are fraudulent
claims, and that the county is not la
bic for them. The trouble is that the
bulk of the claims have already been
paid.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an ipdamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
