Making up the Issues.

During the war between our country ana
Spain, we gave 1t as our opinion that Win
victory over Spain, which we never doubted
and the consequent acquisition OF territory,
would come new issues due to wholly new
conditions; that problems hitherto but ab
stract propositions discussed by publicists
for arguments sake, would ut once be thrust
upon US as real, live issues to be practically
dealt with by statesmen. We do not assume
that our declaration OF the coming Of these
great problems was evidence of unusual per.
spicacity; IN tact we believe that no one failed
to realize the certainty of their birth irnme.
diately upon successful close OF the war and
arising out of our duty toward and response
bility for the welfare of the peoples inhabitng
the territory wrested from Spain.
While all felt that they were sadly misgov-
erned by Spain, few believed that they were
at all or nearly competent of self government
and that in some manner and for an indef-
mite time we would be responsible for any
ills that, due to their ignorance and inexper'
fence, might befall them.
Already and in more than one direction
and on more than one account, do we find
these new issues coming forward and on
them the lines are being drawn.
The policy of the administration has been
pretty clearly set forth 10 the Philippine
Commissions proclamation to that people
and already do we find the opposition, the
4anti- expansionists and the "anti.imperia-
lists" organizing to attack that plan Of deal
ing with the new territory. There are al
ready those Of extreme views on either side
of the question, but there are also many
among our deseryedly prominent men who
as yet hold conservative views.
We have no idea that these new issues will
give new names to the great political parties
of the country, but we do believe that they
will by 1900 constitute the main differences
supplanting, for time at least. those lead.

rency and the tarif-and providing the Is
sues upon which the voters will divide, until
they have been 80 nearly settled that our
strictly home affairs will again get In the as
cendent.
Due to the first step having been taken by
it, the Republican party will naturally be-
come the annexationist tho expansionis'
party and the opposition will organize itsel
under the Democratic party. Republican,
who oppose and Democrats whe favor thu
expansionist cause will exchange places and
judging from the present outlook, many o
the strongest men in public life today will
fnd themselves in the party that they hat
always hitherto opposed

MOUNTAIN FIRBs.-F0r several weeks we
had been receiving reports Of extensive hree
on the west side Of the mountain, but until
last week the Catoctin Spur and the east
eide Of the summit mountain had escaped.
beginning ON Thursday last. fires have been
started at several points on the Catoctin
mountain and thousands Of acres have been
burned, Some of the burned portions were
sparsely numbered and of little value; on the
other hand some good timber has been de.
streyed. On Friday and Saturday nights the
view Of the several main fires and the scores
Of bright points where fire lines were being
driven along TO surround the big fires with
q belt, was q pretty thing to look at, yet not
enjoyable to such as had a thought or care
for the destruction being wrought. The fire
continued to burn during Sunday, but not
over such wide extent and on Monday II was
finally subdued on the mountain Immediately
west Of US. but ON the Catoctin Furnace tract
several fires were burning.

For some days past the possibili-
ties of another reduction mill at
this place have been known and
discussed, and the proposition has
finally assumed a tangible form.
There are reasons however, as n
matter of business policy, to sup
press the true status of the case.
We are safe in saying that Florence
is not only in the list of possibili-
ties but she is in the list of proba-
bilities. There is bright prospect
of Florence having a three hundred
ton mill. That statement will have
to suffice for the present.

The engineer has been with the

gret the accident more than the
management of the road, but as
long as railroad trains run acci-
