The Philippines.

It now looks as II peace would soon be e.
tablished in the Philippine islands. Part Of
Aguinaldo's cabinet has been captured, and
the cavalry are In pursuit OF the fugitive Fill
ipino general. His army In Luzon has been
scattered, and their chances for future resist
ance is very slim, although some more fight
ing may possibly occur. At no time has 1t
been thought that he had more than 10000
men, and this number must have been great
ly reduced OF late through the casualties OF
war. 1t is to be presumed that his soldiers
like our own, suffered from the hardships In
cdent to running fight. He is now sup
posed to be In the mountains, where he might
successfully hide II 1t we're not that d,sloyal
citizens among his own people will report his
presence to our cavalry. He may seek to
leave the island by boats, but in this he will
hardly be successful.
The prospects for peace must be very dis.
couraging to that portion Of the people Of
this country who expect TO enter the political
campaign under the flag Of "Anti.sxpansion-
ists." The possession OF the Philippine
islands 10 an accomplished fact, but those pol
iticians who oppose the government In its ef-
forts 10 restore peace, may have hoped that
the insurrection in the Philippines would
help them to ell ect q President who would
bring dishonor to the soldiers and the gov
eminent by Withdrawing from the most val.
liable acquisitions OF the war.
With peace restored to the Philippines their
anti-expansion ideas will avail but little.

On q Cold Trail.

The Charleston News and Courier, In appa.
rent seriousness, suggests return to the H.
cense system Of dealing with liquor.
Under the circumstances we do not see how
the Legislature at its next sitting could do
any such thing. even II 1t we're desirable at
any other time.
Persons who oppose the dispensary should
first become law-abidlng citizens. As long as
certain coteries OF citizens assume to be above
the law. their demands should not be yielded
to by the Legislature. AS government does
not treat with those who are in rebellion
against 1t, 80 the govern ment should not treat
with its own subjects as long as they openly
defy the law. Let Charleston's liquor dealers
obey the law as 1t now stands. The State
would deserve public contempt II the Legis'
lature allows Illicit liquor dealers 10 dictate

The recent persecution Of the members Of
the Board OF Control will likely avail moth.

liquor law that the temperance people have

Very Annoying.

The U. 9. Cavalry has been very annoying

him, even in his retreat. Wherever he goes

"creeter" companies had captured part OF bis
cabinet, and some of his family; and he him.

tains. It begins to look as II the guerrilla
stage Of warfare was all that 10 left. The guer-
rilla warfare so far as soldiers are concerned
is OF course q myth, but after every war, in
every country, there is more or less OF law
lessness. There are highw robbers who
have some chance OF plying their business.
And then there are men who have personal
grievances to settle with their neighbors.
But highway robbers and assassinators are
by no means to be regarded as soldiers. Sol
diers In honorable warfare lay down their
arms when their government has been de-
stroyed. or when their officers have either
surrendered or run away. While war Is car
ried on by an aggregation OF soldiers, under
command Of recognized officers, yet war Is
impersonal. No man assumes TO 60 to war
for his country on his own account. And no
true soldier ever seeks to lie In wait for the
unarmed citizen.

Raised q Storm.

Admiral Dewey, like Samson Of old, has
had his troubles. The Philistines captured
Samson and afterward put out his eyes.
When his enemies were making sport OF him,
he pulled down the pillars Of the house which
then supported several thousand men and
women. That house fell and Samson, like
his enemies perished beneath tho falling
structure.
Dewey captured the capital city, and the
chief harbor Of the Filipinos. His people
went into ecstacies over the act, and gave
to him fine house In their own capital city.
Dewey showed his appreciation Of the gift by
giving to his newly welded wife. The people
were indignant, because OF the transfer Of the
property. and to appease their anger the new.
ly welded wife In turn gave the house to her
husbands son.
Up to this time Dewey had never heard
anything of himself but praises, and this sud-
den change from adulation to denunciation
was something for which the great admiral
was unprepared. He felt like dying and
almost wished that he had not fought the
battle Of Manila. But Dewey, unlike Samson,
has not pulled down the house, but still lives
ana suffers tortures because Of the criticisms
which appear in print about the house
transaction.
And thus 1t is the great admiral does
not enjoy today the same glory that was
unanimously accorded him less than month
ago. His loom for President is euded, the
peoples idol has been shattered.
When great men 60 TO fooling with gifts
from the people their good name may be
bespattered.
For our own part. We have no money in the
Dewey home, and perhaps have no right
to speak Of the matter, but we think Dewey
lowered himself in accepting the house. and
then in transferring It TO his wife, we believe
he violated every sense OF propriety or exped'
iency. A great man like Dewey should not
allow anybody to take up hat collection for
his benefit. When great man like Dewey
to accepts gifts from the mob, he certainly
lowers himself in the estimation Of at last
portion OF his admirers.

Christians Should be Healthy.

DR.. Cyrus Edison, New York's most
famous physician, was recently ask ed
what are some to the ways In which
the highest health may be maintained.
He replied; !; -.
1--WE find in religious teachings the
highest hygienic rules that have ever
been. devised. He who really lives up
to the teachings of Christianity will
keep his body in perfectly healthy
condition. 1t has been truly said that
the wages of sin is death, and death Is
caused by the effect of vice. A vi
cious person contains In his body the
seeds of his own destruction. The
Christian is the best fitted of all per-
sons to Withstand disease and live
healthily. 5a.

shameful Persecution.

Shameful Persecution.
The assailants of the dspensary are still
furnishing to the newspapers literature OF
personal character.
Up to the time that the members Of the
Board Of Control went into Office, we believe
their good names had not been assailed. and
now Just before the meeting Of the General
Assembly the enemies OF the law are pre-.
senting to the public various accusations
against individuals.
The law itself is impersonal, and II the Of
fcers have failed to do their duty, or If they
have done those things which they should
not have done, give them hearing. and let
the Just oensure attend the true event.
II there are any reasons tor believing that
wrong has been done, let the Legislature In
vestigate the matter.
But let the enemies Of the law recognize the
fact that neither the assassination Of the
persons or the character Of the officers will
bring about q repeal Of the law.
Let them also remember that persecution
OF public officers is no reason 10 repeal the
law.
Let the public be the Judge as to whether
the members Of the Board OF Control have,
or have not, been most wickedly and most
unjustly persecuted for the last several weeks.
The American people, as rule, love fair
play. They despise persecution, and the I'm
pulses of the better people is to defend those
who may be maliciously and continuously
assailed. Even II the members Of the Board
of Control were as wicked as they are pic
tured TO be, and even II 1t be admitted that
their acts are reprehensible, does not the love
Of honor and fair play revolt at bounding
down even the veriest Of criminals? Has
any man in South Carolina ever been perse-
cuted in q manner comparable with the
course which has been persued toward the
members Of the Board of Control7 II they
had so poisoned the liquor az to kill every
man that drank 1t, and II they had stolen all
the money, would not the public sense OF
decency long since have revolted at the perse.
cution which has filled the newspapers for
the last few weeks?
Let the members Of the Board OF Control
be as wicked as possible, and let their acts be
an reprehensible as possible; then they would
not have done more violence to the pablo
sense Of honor than have their assailants.
These people have been sssailed all along the
line OF the oppositian until 1t seems to rs
that the wickedest man In all the land should
be satisfied. Is 1t not poor specimen OF
humanity that is never satisfied with cruelty?
In all conscience. have we not had enough ?
