Free Cuba.

Cuba will be free in exactly the same way
that South Carolina Is free. 1t will be gov.
erned exactly as any other State OF the Union
is governed, that Is to say: By her own peo-
pie, and they will send delegates 10 the Con
gress of the United States at Washington just
as delegates are sent from other States OF the
Union. 1t will be to Cubas nterest to be one
of us. II is said that In ls4s the Democratic
government Of the United States offered $780,.
900 600 for the island. In 1854, the bid was
raised to sl2O.O0O,00O. Does anybody suppose
this country will not hold on TO 1t In this day
and generation, when We have 1t within
reach?

Wednesday, June q, 1900.
PrRising Colonel HOyt.

We have not word in rebuttal OF anything
that may be said in praise OF Col. Hoyt. We
agree that he Is a good man. But we do not
understand the extreme anxiety of the saloon
or license men to elect man whom they be-
lleve would enforce prohibition.
II Governor McSweeney, with an army OF
constables, cannot enforce the dispensary to
the satisfaction of the license men, how is
Col. Hoyt to enforce prohibition without con-
stables7 And why do license men want pro-
hibition? That is the question.
Much of the praise OF Col. Hoyt seems to
imply that Governor McSweeney is lack.
ing in the good qualities. Comparisons are
odious, and we would invite no unpleasant
ness.
But 1t is fair to speak of Gov. McSweeney' g
official conduct which has measured up to all
the requirements as fully as that Of any Gov
ernor who has hello the office within our recol.
lection. He Is enforcing all the laws OF the
State in q most acceptable manner He has
brought peace to the State. He has discharged
large number of constables, and in doing 30
appealed to the law.sbiding people to help
andt o cooperate with him in bringing peace
and obedience to law In this State. The en-
forcement Of the dispensary law seems to
have displeased some OF the license people.
Governor McSweeney, If measured by his
early struggles, and his subsequent successes,
ia the equal of any man In the race, and there
is no reason for msligning him. except be-
cause OF his past success. and his future good
prospects He was a poor orphan boy, with
neither money nor education nor influential
friends to boost him. But he had character
and an invincible determination, and the peo.
pie will neither allow an envious spirit to cast
him down nor permit the friends OF license to
deprive him OF the Office to which he should
be elected, simply because he enforces the H.
quor law.
Governor McSweeney is man of the peo-
pie, and his recollections of the days OF his
own poverty make him friend to those In
distress. He has been Governor OF the whole
people Of the State, and to all he has been a
just Governor. He has worn no mans collar.
He has obeyed no mans behest. He has
heard the petition Of the humblest. He has
yielded respectful attention to the greatest.
He has been merclful to the convict, when
mercy was just. But to the bigamist. with
rich and powerful friends pleading his cause,
he refused pardon for destroying q respects-

already had living wife and children. Pow
or and influence could not swerve him. And
this power and influence we believe is now
turned against him. Let US hope that this
opposition does not seek to elect another.
who may be susceptible to their influence.
For protecting our homes in Furnishing those
who would destroy them Governor Nc
Sweeney deserves the thanks Of every good
man and every good woman in this State.

The Difference.

The Atlanta Journal, without reference t
the political bias of either the editor or Its en-
vironment, gave a full and fair account of th
Philadelphia Convention, expressed in digni
fled journalistic spirit.
On the other hand, the News and Courle
headed its account Of the same, in thes
words:
The Brass Band Ticket-Mckinley and
Roosevelt the Imperlalist Candidates-
Consummation Of the Work which the
Republi lican National Convention was
Called TO do, viz; The Glorilcatton OF
the Plutocratic and Imperialistic Policy
OF the Present Republican Aministra-
tion - William Mckinley, the Figure
Head for Hanna, the Agent for the
Trusts. and Governor Roosevelt, OF New
York, Picturesque Figure in the War
for the Acquisition Of Cuba, Under the
False Pretence OF Giving the Cubans
their Independence, are Chosen as the
Fit Representatives Of the Party-1t Is
Hoped, by Money and the Spectacular
Campaign which Money will Enable IT
TO Make, Either to Delude or Override
the People who are Struggling for Consti-
tutional Rights and Reduction OF the
Burdens Of TOO Much Government.
The reference in the News and Courier
heading to the Republican Convention, i
seems to US. could hardly have been more er
roneous or farther from fair Interpretation
of the facts.

Hon. w. H. Parker for the LeRisla-
ture,

From various quarters we have heard the
desire expressed that Hon. w. H. Parker con-
sent to become a candidate for the Legisla-
ture. Mr.. Psrker's ability Is so we'll known
that nothing need be said on this line, ana
bis career as bank president is known oil all
men. the farmers called him to the presi'
idency of their bank, and he has made II q
;Gpn.lerful success in helping them TO
money In the times of their need, and he mas
made II profitable to stock holders and alike
satisfactory to all. His intercourse with the
pstrons of the bank has been 30 pleasant and
satisfactory to all, that nobody is more popu-
lar or held In higher esteem than Mr.. Parker.
His past experience in the Legislature, TO-
pether with the desire that has been express
ed to have him run for the Legislature, would
indicate that the people want him to repre-
sent them. II assured OF the desire on the
part Of the people, he would no doubt consent
to make the race He would reflect honor on
the county that would honor him.

Railroad Accident.

Yesterday between Abbeville and Elbertop
there was a head.end collision between a
passenger train and work train on the Sea
Board Air Line. Some damage was done to
some of the coaches. and one of the engines
was considerably injured. The engineer, Mr..
Neel was hurt, but 1t is not thought that he is
seriously injured. He was brought back to
his boarding house in Abbeville.
AS far as we could learn there Is no truth in
the report of the killing OF two men on the
same road near Chester yesterday.
