great difference whether these are Republican

the native and Portuguese vote will remain
more or less faithful to the party they begin
to affiliate with. If Mr.. Mckinley gives
them a governor they are satisfied with, they
will be Republicans to a man. If not, they
will go "agn" the party that stole their indie

after peaceably submitting to American rule.
Mr.. Mckinley does his party great wrong
if he fails to manufacture new voters.

people as follows
Let England clearly understand what war in
South Africa means. The largest empire the
world has ever seen will hur its full force against
small state and about 10000 men, including lads
of I6 and old men of 60, without standing army
or organized comn,ssariat. The entire little peo-
pie will have to resolve itself into an army of their

The latest advices seem to indicate that war be-
England and the
TranSvaal.

President Kruger has sent very equivocal reply
to Mr.. Chanberlain's last note, still asking for
arbitration, which has been refused by England
To meet the emergency England is transporting
troops to South Africa to bring the army up to
$4,000 men. With the exception of the Crimean
war this is the largest force England has ever sent
to war out of her own borders.
This is something of compliment to the fight
ing qualities of the Beers and shows that the
catastrophe of Majuba hill has not been forgotten
1t is estimated that the Beers cannot put more
than 1900 men in the field, but it is felt that they
cannot be conquered without an overwhelming
force pitted against them. 1t is only question of
when England must in her own interest possess
the Transvaal and the war of conquest mi ght as
well come now as at any other time. England is
not making the mistake the United States did in
the Philippines. She is sending enough men to
make success sure.

AS the time draws near for the assembling
of Congress and the establish
Political Status ment for Hawaii of what is
of Hawaii. called here (either rightly or
WRONGLY organic law, it is
pertinent to speculate upon our future political
status. There are few, pretending to be
wise, who declare that Hawaii will only be
given colonial government but these are
pessimists, and are given little credence. All
are expecting, and we will undoubtedly re-
ceve a territorial form of government. Sena-
tor Clark, who recently visited Hawaii be-
lieves that Hawaii will be given the most
liberal form of territorial government. Sena-
delegate from Wyoming, and has been in the
Senate ever since the territory was admitted
as State; he is a member of the Foreign
Relations Committee and also of the Judiciary
Committee. In this capacity it will be neces-
sary for him to pass upon the bill to extend
the United States laws to Hawaii, and also
upon President McKinley's nomination of
Territory of Hawaii. He has visited Hawaii
twice for the purpose of investigating local
conditions, that he may be able to Judge in
diligently of Hawaiian matters when they
come before him and, furthermore, Mr..
Mckinley has asked Senator Clark to report
to him his impressions of Hawaii. Therefore
Senator Clark s opinion concerning the future
political status of Hawaii must be taken to be
as nearly the correct estimate of the situation
that can be had this early. He unequivocally
declared it as his opinion that we would re-
ceive the most liberal territorial government
and unrestricted electoral franchise for all
native Hawaiians and whites of whatever
nationality who are willing to take the oath of
allegiance to the United States AS evidence
of his sincere belief in this opinion, and of
the future prosperity of Hawaii he has con-
tracted for the building of a three-story
modern business block on the corner of Fort
and Beretania streets, which is to cost up
wards of $4,000.

anchoy Dane was mad neither does she believe
that he was fat, as is often alleged During her
impersonation of Hamlet at the Adelphi Theater
(see The Literary Digest, July 81, an expression
of opinion from her on these two vital points was
obtained by the London Chronicle The follow
ing is part of the interview as given in that
paper:
Your idea of Hamlet, l take it, is that of
slender, wowy YOUTH
Because the original inpersonator of Ham,
let was fat man, therefore the tradition has re-
manned that the noble Dane was of stout proper
tions. Here again, according to my lights is an
absolute error. He was slender and supple of
limb, man of nerves and intellect, dramatic and
passionate in temperament His hesitations and
perplexites are mostly assumed, for as an aveng-
er he must act a part and appear not to feel the
storm of rage and indignation that riot in his
blood
"'Then,' exclaimed, you do not believe that
Hamlet was really mad?'
Mad said Sarah Bernl1ardt slowly, as she
bent down and clasped her hands in her ruddy
hair, and her voice was like that of one in
dream. What could those who said he was mad
be thinking of? He feigned madness to effect his
purpose, and carry out his ends. Observe, too,
how he was all things to all men. Bosterous and
amusing in his frolics with Polonius wicked with
them to be evil Terrible with the king He suits
his moods to his purpose. 1t is all clear as day!
With Opheia there is no feigming, he is always
real with her. And here the cadence of Saral's
incompatible voice changes to the softest music

- John d. Rockefeller, the oil king,
and Andrew Carnegie, the iron king,
are engaged in an interesting wal
against each others dollars. For sew.
eral years past Rockefeller has been
engaged in buying up the most pro-
ductive iron mines to be had in differ

necessary, building railroads for their
development. Not long ago he offered
Carnegie all his holdings of this kind

The fight has already waxed hot, es

for carrying iron ore. Carnegie now
has in course of construction seven
large barges, and by the end of next
year expects to be in a position to give
Rockefeller sufficient amusement.

STRIlGGLE FOR POWER.

In almost any given group of people
discussing the Philippine question or
the Transvaal question, there will be
found those who hold conflicting views,
and in all fairness it may be said that
there may be as much honesty and sim
cerity on the one side as on the other.
From the standpoint of right, as in
terpreted by the principles of the
Christian religion, there is no justifca'
ton for either the Transvaal war or
the Philippine war. The principles Of
the Christian religion do not sanction
bloodshed at any time or under any
circumstances, and in that view of the
case no Christian nation is justified in
any war, even against savages.
Again, the Philippine war is dis
tasteful to many Americans, because
it is in direct opposition to what they
have always considered the established
traditions and the manifest destiny OF
this country. In the first place they
look upon the Filipinos as fighting for
what they considered dearer than
life; and in the second place this en-
terprise involves complete depart
ure from the Monroe doctrine which
prescribed that Americans should not
mix up with the affairs of foreign ma.
tions, nor allow foreign nations to in
terfere with American affairs
For obvious reasons, the general
principle of the Monroe doctrine com
mends itself to Americans who love
peace and quiet rather than bloodshed.
At the time the doctrine was promul-
gated, it was really necessary to ensure
the preservation of the republican
form of government with which this
country had fairly begun to expert
ment, and to greater or less extent
it has served its purpose in preventing
the encroachments of European pow
ers on American soil. The most nota-
BILE failure of it was in allowing Great
Britain 10 swindle Venezuela out of a
part of her territory.
But the Monroe doctrine is now

it will 60 a long ways toward making
up the shortage in the corn crop.
From the preparations being made, l

The general health of this section is
very good.

- The Gaffney Ledger prefers seri-
Gus charge against the president OF
Winthrop college. 1t says:
''President Johnson, of Winthrop
Normal college, writes the governor
that the college has been compelled to
turn off 200 applicants for lack of dor
mitory room. And yet we happen to
know that scholarships are still being
offered and girls already matriculated
in other institutions are being persua-
ded to violate their contracts with
those institutions and 60 to Winthrop.
How is this? ?"
No reliable self-respecting newspaper
would make charge like this unless
it were in a position to support the
same with incontrovertible facts. This
may be fact and it may not be. We
are admitting only the possibility, not
the probability. We have too much
confidence in President Johnson to
suspect him of being capable of any
thing Of the kind. But this paragraph
is going the rounds of the state press,
and in the absence of personal infor-
nation as to the conditions involved,
there are hundreds of people who will
be unable to conceive of any reason
why it was written except because it is
true. Facts-names and dates are in
order.
Since the above was put in type, we
note that President Johnson says that
the extent of Winthrop's offense was
to notify young lady who stood Sec
in a competitive examination for a
Winthrop scholarship and afterward
went to Limestone, that the scholar
ship had fallen to her by reason of the
failure of the young lady who stood
first to take it. And this is magnified
into wholesale persuasion of young
ladies to "violate their contracts" with
other institutions to accept free schol-
arships in Winthrop!

WHEAT AND OATS.

Reports from various parts of the
county during the past ten days or two
weeks are to the effect that the farm
ers have been plowing like in the
spring time, and they are still at it.
The oldest citizen does not remember
to have seen the like before.
In a nutshell, the situation is this
People of even ordinary foresight see
that Z cents cotton this year means a
tremendous crop with lower prices nex'
year. The part of prudence, there
fore, requires that other arrangements
be made while it is yet time.
AS rule, the farmers are preparing
their lands well. The two-horse plow
is being used to an extent that has
never been known in this section, and
the disk harrow seems to have come
into recognition as being as indispensa
BILE as the plow.
Most of this work is in preparation
for wheat and oats. The reports indi
cate the sowing of larger acreage o.
oats than of wheat; but the acreage o.
wheat bids fair to be much greater
than it was last year, Notwithstanding
that last year was something of a rec
ord breaker.
All this argues we'll for good times
next year. There is plenty of good
land in this country that is never more
than half worked. All the wheat that
is likely to be put in will not appre
ciably diminish the available acreage
for other crops. The work done in
wheat sowing this fall, will leave the
farm forces as free in January as II
this falls work has been entirely
wasted, and then every farmer in the
county will be in a position to calcu'
late that with a surplus of wheat,
oats and corn, there is no possible dan
ger of his making too much cotton,
no matter what might be the price.
As THE ENQUIRER sees it, the situa'
ton seems to be getting right.
