BRYAN aud the Philippines.

The following is an extract from an inter-
view sent out by the Associated Press from
Hon. w. ]. Bryan on the Philippine question::
mo, do not favor the Withdrawal Of our
troops. What1 do believe, and nave repeal
edly announced, Is that we should at once de-
clare our purpose in unequlvocal Terms, so
positive that the Filipinos cannot do9ot ~, 10
granttnem full and complete independence the
moment they have established a stable gov
ern ment. l believe II we should make such
an announcement right now the war would
cease In q very short time, and our troops
could Withdraw without laying, down their
arms In the face OF the enemy. Furthermore
believe II we had come out with such an an
noun cement In The beginning OF the war, the
war would never have occurred"
1t seems 10 us that every lalr-mlnaed
American who Is not in favor OF imperialism
will endorse this interview. II presents the
case briefly, but forcibly.-Atlanta Journal.
complete independence" may mean much,
or II may mean nothing. The Philippines are
as much part of this country as California
In the campaign OF 1876 South Carolinas
battle cry was "Home Rule" II complete
independence" means "Home Rule and that
the Philippines are to be as free as Georgia or
South Carolina, then Mr. Bryan's speech Is all
right.
Let US have no misunderstanding In the
use ofambguous generalities. II Mr.. Bryan
means LudL ut ldfOlS Iuo W
this country by cutting OFT the Philippines,
let b I'm say so But let him not use language
which may meet the approval OF some ana
deceive others because Of Its ambiguity.
Does MIR. Bryan wish to dismember this
country or does he mean that he wishes
to give the Philippines the same complete
independence" that Georgia now possesses?
II Mr.. Bryan means TO dismember this
country by cutting of any portion OF 1t, or II
he proposes TO make the Presidential race on
such an issue, he would not reach the first
quarter until after his competitor had passed
the pole.
But Mr. Bryan will make no race under the
battle cry of dismemberment OF this Union.
Our recollection is, that about forty years ago,
MIR. Davis and his followers undertook to dis
member the Union by the withdrawal OF
several states, and 1t occurs to us that the
sentiment and arms OF the country resisted
that attempt. We have not heard that public
sentiment has undergone any great change.
If the Flliplnos may set up separate govern
ment, why may not the citizens OF Texas or
California do the same?
But MIR. Bryan did not mean to do any such
thing as setting up separate and indepen-
dent Government for the Philippine islands.
He meant TO give the Filipinos the same sort
OF Government which the "Crackers' have
over in the State Of Georgia. And to that
nobody IN this country objects.

Is AbbeyiIle on the Eve of Further
Progress?

Progress?
Other towns of q size not very different
from Abbeville, are putting In new cotton
mills, new oil mills. and new ginneries, and
It has been hinted that Northern money
may at an early day seek investment here
These enterprises are exciting attention
abroad Just now and We believe that some
money is now ready for a new cotton mill at
a new oil mill and new ginnery for next
season is not an impossibility.
II any fight on the Abbeville Cotton Mill
should devslope the spirit In our people to
build new mills-and Northern capital and
home enterprise should combine-who would
predict the future of Aobevile?
II Northern capital should build new cot
ton mill, and a new seed mill, together with
a new ginnery, the.results would wonderfully
benefit this people. The presence OF the COT
ton mill has increased the price OF both cot
ton and wood. And the thousands OF cords
OF pine wood In this neighborhood which
was an nnually destroyed because there was lit.
tie or no market for 1t, now all that may come
finds ready sale at an advance OF ten
cents q cord. Pine wood any day In the year
now commands the cash as readily as cotton.
Another cotton mill might still further
benefit the farmer by increasing the value of
his product, and II the new organization
should reduce the cost Of ginning, packing
and bagging cotton so as to induce the
bringing OF increased amounts Of the staple to
this market, still greater revolution would
be wrought in favor Of the farmer-and these
enterprises would build up the town and help
all lines of business. Every bale Of cotton
that is brought to market puts some money
In circulation. Some money from nearly
every bale goes 10 buy goods or TO pay debts

THE WALLACE SHOW.
Splendid October Weather Added a
Charm to the Occasion.

Charm to the Occasion.
The Wallace Show gave an exhibition In
Abbeville yesterday, and, as far as we know
everybody was pleased with the entire per
formance. Nearly all the seats In the greal
pavilion we're occupied, and 1t is estimated
that there must have been fully five thous
and persons beneath the tent. Perhaps two
thousand other people were satisfied with
being present in town, and seeing the street
parade.
The parade was quite an imposing affair
and many Of the Sunday School scholars who
sat on the fence 10 see 1t pass In review, were
afterward found in the tent. When good
show, comes along large number OF the
good little boys in town assemble on the cir
Gus grounds.
The crowd in town yesterday was good
humored and we'll behaved, and many of our
citizens who had never before been TO see q
circus performance mingled with the multi
tude, and swelled the crowd by their own
presence.
or late years the circus performance has
not given gross offense to either good morals
or good manners, and for this reason such
exhibitions are now more generally attended
by church people than formerly.
body seems 10 be glad that the circus found
, its way to town this year. 1t is estimated
that many thousand dollars was spent that
day. The whole town will be benefited.
While the store folks were all as busy as
bees from morning till night, many Industrial
en- Enterprises were closed down. But little labor
OF any kind was done by any body. The
High Schools and other educational ipstltu
tions were closed and the hundreds OF schol
ars OF all grades, conditions and shades o.
color, were allowed an opportunity to see the
elephant, to hear the lion roar.
The cotton mill, the ginneries, various
shops and the iron foundry suspended bus
ness, and the employers were sll allowed @
holiday.
Good women of the Presbyterian faith. and
their equally good sisters OF the Methodist
persuasion, had boths from which they serv
ed lunches. the profits of which to the former
were to 60 to improve the Long Cane grave
yard, and the net proceeds of the sales by the
latter were 10 augment the pile with which
to buy great church organ.

SIo,oTy
The public will observe that the apportlon.
ment is very much smaller In some school
districts for the present year than for the
past This Is due to several causes. to wilt:
Some School Districts overdrew their appor-
tionment for the previous year, and the over
draft was deducted from the present appor-
tiop meut. In some districts fewer pupils
have been reported, the total number OF chill
dren, however, has been Increased which de-
creased the per capita rate.
The main cause of q decrease in fund is the
fact that the apportionment for last year
Uhrough an oversighD was more than the
funds actually on hand. Appointments are
based not on q certainty, but necessarily on
an approximation. Respectfully,
J. s. GILBERT,
Co. Supt. Of Education.

mo STRIKE BREAK
Came With the Circus, Though
Many People Expected It.
ONLY FIFTEEN PEOPLE RODE
To the Circus Grounds on the Cars
Yesterday Afternoon, and Most of
These were Strnnscrs-Thc Strikers
and Their Friends Worked Hard,
and Succeeded in Keeping the Peo-
pie Off the Cars through Persuasion.

Yesterday was regarded as crucial
day in the street car strike, and this
because Of the visit to Wheeling OF the
circus that exhibited at Bridge park
on the Island. Before circus day ar
rived the company hoped and many
people were Of the opinion that It would
result In many people beginning riding
on the cars. The strikers realized that
this was possible outcome, and as a
consequence they took every precau-
ton to dissuade strangers from using
the cars In going to the Island.
on all sides 1t IL conceded that the
strikers and their multitude of sympa.
thlzers In the ranks Of organized labor
throughout the city accomplished a no.
table feat In exercising an influence
that contributed to whn. was undoubt-
eddy the smallest circus day business
ever done by the Wheeling Railway
Company. Several persons who were,
sufficiently interested to keep tab"
did so yesterday afternoon. and 1t is
stated that not more than fifteen or
twenty people went to the circus
grounds on the cars. at night there
were only four or five passengers
This was accomplished through the
personal efforts of the strikers and
their sympathizers, who made 1t their
business to acquaint strangers with the
fact that Il strike was in progress, and
MS for the home people many sympa-
thize with the strike, and probably
more are afraid to use the cars

INDEPENDENT ARBITRATION
Suggested as Means Of Settling the
Street ca: Strike.

Suggested as n Means of Settling the
Street ca" Strike.
To the Editor OF the Intell!gcnccr.
SlR-The papers have discussed ar
bitration of the strike us though II
could only be had by consent of the
company and the strikers. 1t seems
to me that their consent is unnecessary.
1t would be necessary If the lines were
blocked but cars are running regularly.
Arbitration can be had and should be
had at once.
The inquiry should be not what COM
promise can he suggested which the
company and the strikers will accent?"
but what concessions. under the CIR
cumstances OF this case. ought the pub
TIC 10 require OF ehch party rs Il condi-
ton of Its support"
Let the board Of arbitration renort for
the public benefit what system OF hours
and what rate Of wages Is proper to be
required of the company. The recon-
mendations Of the board would have 10
be granted by the company, for that
would plainly be Its only means OF
alternating public support from the
strikers. On the other hand, the men
would have to conform to the finding
OF such board. because IL the board
were formed OF reliable men the public
would be committed In advance to abide
by the finding of the board. and would
transfer Its support to the company un-
less the men would Yield
suggest that the IntcHIgencer, whose
course throughout this unfortunate
controversy has been wise and fair,
should take up the plan OF an arbtra-
ton board independent of both the COM
pany and the men.
1t Is evident that such n board should
not be composed In the usual way-one
member for each side and one to bal-
ance them. There should be Mt least
five men, all well-knOwn, responsible
citizens. out OF politics and without
preJudtce-mep who understand figures
and who will have the energy and fair
ness to make Il full examination and n
Just report.
Allow Inc to suggest that the INTEL
llgencer ask Tor suggestions M to the
composition Of such board from the
chamber OF commerce, council. the
mayor and any other DISTINGUISHED pub
lie body. and 1t will be small matter
to choose from the names submitted u
substantial, satisfactory board. The
public has this .cnsy method of cnforc-
Ing n settlement. which think II should
ndopt without delay. Let uR have an
INDEPENDENT ARBITRATION.
