of the United States have yet to
be heard from. They have had
no clear opportunity of expressing
an opinion on this vile betrayal of
Republican principls. Next
wear the Presidential election will
take place. We trust that it may
result in the consignment of Mr.
Mckinley and his crowd of mill
ionaires and officials into the limbo
of vanity and oblivion.

if they did not support the Presi.
dent, and sufficient number
have been weak enough to yield
The other factor in deciding the
Senate at the last moment was
the outbreak by the Filipino in
surgents. We call this a trick.
It may be wondered how it came
to pass that the insurgents so
obviously played into the hands
of the reluctant Senators. A
Reuters special telegram gives
the reason: "The reports of serious
fighting at Manila are false.
There has only been. a skirmish
between outposts, due to the dellib-
crate and overt act of Americans,
designed to provoke hostilities be-
fore the final vote in the Senate
to-day" That was, Fof course,
before the battle took place in
which the Americans slew 1000
natives, who were fighting for the
very principles which the Ameri-
cans themselves stated IN the De-
claration of Independence. The
design was plain-provoke a riot,
provoke the people to fire On
American soldiers, and be sure
that the contemplate feeling
which-masquerades as patriotism"
will be reused, and the thing which
wise men hesitated about doing
will, under the feelings thus stirred,
be done. It's known that the vote
for the treaty hung in the balance;
a convenient outbreak was ar
ranged to turn the scale on the
Jingoside.
A more outrageous business
than this of the Philippines even
we have rarely been guilty Of.
America goes to war for Cuba.
Instead of st cking to her proper
business she allows an admiral to
sail away to the Philippines, which
were not involved, and where
insurgents were fighting and
beating the Spanish troops. This
admiral is allowed to remain there
long after his pretended mission
of destroying the Spanish fleet is
accomplished. A.treaty is made
on the basis of protocol which
only recognizes American rights
in the bay city of Manila, and
yet, while that treaty is being
discussed, before it is ratified, the
American troops are allowed to
treat the whole of the Philippines
as though they were American
property, and the President treats
the natives as though they were
his subjects, quite in the style of
an Emperor. And now, by a
.dastardly trick, the Senate, which
was really not in favor of annex
ation-is not now, for that
.matter-commlts itself to foolish

The entertainment given IN the

was a grand success in pecuniary
way, because the house was crowded
almost to its utmost capacity with the

music-vocal, piano, string band and

enjoyed by the audience. But Prof.
Brown's,lecture on kissing" which,

Our Editor Off Again.
Some weeks ago, our Editor, claim
ing to be an invalid, packed his kit
and had himself checked for the Sur
gical Institute, Atlanta, whittier he
tarried as long as the conscience of
the honest folks of that "cure all" in
stitution could or would allow him to
remaln-and he came home sound and
well-and all right for big job at
hard work. But, in our opinion, he is
not fond of very hard work-and now
he is off again. Gone this time on a
strictly pleasure excursion to Beaufort
county land to see his brother Quincy
Adams, who is at present treasurer of
of Beaufort county-and to hunt ducks
and to shoot deer-and Ito kill bear
and to capture wild cat for Sam Tay-
lor-and the Lord knows what other
achievements he will perform before
he returns. And his furlough is un.
limited-and we don't know when he
may return. But all the while he has
our prayers in his behalf-and a happy
time generally for our absent Editor
