Mr.. Morton says: "No doubt the
platform will contain some elements
common to all parties. but the keynote
will be conservatism. The late war and
its momentous issues. the struggle OF
the two great parties over bimetallism.
the rise. decline and absolute decay OF
populism. all these elements contribute
to "a situation as pregnant as those which
gave birth TO the Republican party on

This belief is based on the statements
made by prisoners taken Monday and
yesterday. who report that the bulk of
the insurgent forces are only kept in the
ranks by their officers. who beat them

that Agunaldo declares that If the
Americans succeed in taking his capital

trenched and protected by several
streams. However, with the assistance
OF the smaller gunboats, little delay is
anticipated in reducing the works, and
the town would fall without very heavy

Agent Williams gives his opinion that
the steamer was in collision with the
schooner King Philip while the former
was trying TO weather the storm.
1t is pointed out as a singular coin
cidence that the schooner Maud S. which
now brings in positive evidence Of the
Portland, was the last craft TO sight the
unfortunate steamer on the night Of
Nov. 20. The Maud S was then scurrying
for harbor at Gloucester. and passed
alongside the Portland about five miles

that harbors entrance. This was at 3

The Show - Big Time for Sunday
School Scholars.

The Wallace show will give an exhibition
at Abbeville October II. In order that no one
may be deprived Of the pleasure Of seeing at
least part Of the show, the managers Of the
institution will give free street parade.
when the various animals. the several actors,
the many chariots, the band wagons, and
other things belonging to first class show
will pass in review through the Public Square,
and along some OF the prominent streets.
Sunday school scholars and pious children
generally are especially invited to sit on the
front fence, or else find a good point Of view
on the Public Square, and see the procession.
The management Is still further disposed to
accommodate those parents who may
think 1t sin to witness skillful horseback
riding. A show of animals can be seen so
that the children may see the various beasts
and fowls, without going to see the horse.
back riding or the performance OF the acrobat
actors. This show will accommodate all.
You can see the parade free. II you get a
ticket you can see the animals without look
ing at the actors; or, II you like, you can see
the whole thing-monkies, parrots, clowns,
and horseback riders.
The Press and Banner Is glad the show Is
coming. Shows are enjoyed by the prople,
and even If they are not rich they can gener-
ally get ticket to the show, and then for q
time, forget their troubles, bid defiance to re-
morseless creditors. and enjoy themselves to
the full extent. In cases of extreme poverty,
or severe piety, they are authorized to sit
ON the fence and witness the parade, with.
out money and without price.

The Calling of Names.

Some of our brethern OF the press are q
little inclined to say unkind things Of those
who would obstruct the government in Its
prosecution OF the war In the Philippines.
and those who come under criticism may be
a little sensitive.
We believe 1t Is a little unusual for news
papers TO give aid and comfort to the
enemies OF the country, and we believe 1t
is seldom that citizens should cru sh the spirit
OF soldiers In the camp.
But we presume the annexationists and the
anti-snnexationists are equally sincere in
their opinions, and all are alike patriotic
For this reason there is little reason for
friction.
The annexation of the islands Ia an accom-
plished fact, and they are today as much
part OF this country as Texas or California.
The question Of annexation, and the act
ofgiving aid and comfort to the enemy are
quite different things.
Several times In the history OF the county
additions to our territory have been had. In
each instance some Of the best men Of the
country have been opposed TO the proposed
annexation.
Our people might Just as we'll realize the
fact that the Philippine islands are ours, and
that other fact might as we'll be noted, that
Aguinaldo will be compelled to lay down his
arms and respect thelaws OF this country.
