Claims of Minnesota Democrats Con-
troverted.
REPUBLICANS TO ELECT GOVERNOR
Views of National Committeeman
ShevIin.
ISSUES THAT ARE DISCUSSED


MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. October p. 1900.
In talk today with Star correspondent
National Committeeman T. H. Shevlin, one
Of the leading republicans of the north
west, was asked as to the claims of the
democrats that, while 1t is generally con-
coded the state will give its electoral vote
for Mckinley, they attest their confidence
of carrying the state ticket.
Mr.. Shevelin did not countenance these
claims and declared them without substan-
tial basis.
LAS to the result of the coming election
in Minnesota" he said, II predict the sue
cess of our national ticket by majority Of
$4,000 to 5000. The republicans of Mime
sofa will elect their entire congressional
delegation and without doubt a governor.
At present We have a populistic governor,
and we are making great effort to redeem
the state and bring her under the banner of
the republican party, where she belongs.
In regard to the Minnesota gold demo-
Gratis, my opinion is that at least TO per
cent of them will vote the republican ticket
at this election.
THE Germans are disaffected to slight
extent on account Of Imperialism, misled
by misuse of the term and a misappre-
hension as to its meaning, but are doing
everything we to correct this and to
prevent our Philippine policy from being
unjustly criticised or seen in false light.

| think the time has come for US to do our
part in the work of civiizing and develop
Ing the orient, and that we should not
neglect to take and to hold our rightful
place as great commercial factor in the
markets of the world. We are already
awakened on this subject. Our exports of
all kinds Of manufactured goods are great
er than they have ever been before. But in
order to maintain and increase this activi-
ty, to keep our mills running and our me-
chanlcs employed, we shall have to be in
the van with expansion and see that We get
our fair share Of the worlds trade, with
special reference at this time to countries
which are new to our civlizatio and I'M
developed commercially.

or our trade in the East will 50
develop China, that under the infiu-
ence Of our civilization, she will be-
come competitor, and instead of
our products being imported into
China, she will send hers here. AS
matter of common sense, this con-
dltion is not likely to arise for some
time. First, our tariff duties consti-
tute an effective barrier to the pro-
duct of cheap labor, imported into
this country. The very same con-
dltlon now exists as to Europe, and
has no more force as applied to Asia
III the future. Second, whether We
participate or not, civilization will
be carried to China, and the same
danger of her becoming a competitor
will exist. This doctrine of the
News and Courier and The State of
withholding civilization and religion
from China for fear of her becoming
competitor, is 4 discreditable, sci
fish doctrine, utterly opposed to the
spirit Of the age. 1t is anti-C Chris

Railroad Building.

Restored confidence and improved
business conditions arc indicated by
many signs, and conspicuous among
them is the largely increased railway
construction of the present year over
that Of last year and several imme-
diatcly preceding years.
The New York hallway Gazette
ii. it's preliminary estimate puts the
railway construction for tho year up
to December % at 1857 miles, built
by 257 companies.
This beats all records since 1892.
The average new mileage from 1891
to 1887 inclusive, was only about
1000 miles year. The total new
mileage of last year was 3,2G5 miles.
Iowa leads all the other States in
railway construction this year with
553 miles. Next comes Minnesota,
with 81 miles Arkansas, 2G5; Cal
ifornia, 200, and Michigan, 17S
miles. These five States include
onc-third of the total new mileage of
the year.
While the West led, the south
makes a fine showing in the table of
new mileage for the year. We have
Arkansas with 2G5 miles Alabama,
lGI; Louisiana, 40; Florida and
Mississippi, each llS; South Caro-
lima, i39; Georgia, l31 Tennessee,
lis, and Missouri, l07 miles.
Among the Southwestern territories
arc Oklahoma, with l35 miles, and
New Mexico, l23 miles.

structinn during the next twelve

A Thousand Rebels Routed.

MA ANILLA, December 31.--Col.
Lockett, with force of $500, in
Guiding artillery, attacked last We'd
nesday morning strong force of
insurgents cntrcnchcd in the noun
tains near Miontalbon, about five
miles northeast of San Matco. The
enemy was cc:nplctciy routed, the
Americans pursuing them through
the hills, amid which they He'd IN
every direction.
-Four Americans were wounded.
The Filipinos' loss was large, result
ing from a heavy infantry and artil-
lcry fire for three hours into the
trenches.
1t is supposed that the insurgents
were those who were driven out of
San Matco on tie day Gen. Lawton
was killed. They numbered proba-
bly, thousand.
n dozen lines OF insurgcnt trenches
covered the steep trail through the
hills and likewise the valley below,
along which the Americans passed.
The main attacking party consisted
of the Forty sixth volunteer infantry,
a troop of cavalry and artillery,
Col. Lockctt commanding in person.
The rest of the command opcratcd
from remote points in an cndcavor
to carry out Col. Luchctt's pInn Of
throwing his lines around the enemy
and thus cutting off retreat
The nature OF the mountainous
country made it impractcable to
execute this movement successfully.
After the insurgents began to run
there was a vain attempt to use ar
tillcry.

FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
Tho Service viii Begin Next July and Last
Four YearS-St0kes' Letter.

TIE COURIER has received q letter
from lIon. j. VIM. Stokes, one Of
South Cardinals most prominent and
brilliant representatives in the
Lower House of Congress. If the
people heed the advice of this able
and arduous Representative we fully
believe that the rural mail delivery
will prove God-send to the hard
working farmer. The letter is dated
Washington, ID. c., December 18th,
1899, and reads as follows:
"Will you kindly permit me
space to say to Your readers that on
last Saturday the Postmaster Gene
raj signed the order which grants to
South Carolina what | have been
striving for more than year past to
obtain for the whole country. This
order provides for th' free delivery
of all mail along every "star route"
in South Carolina. 1t will be under
stood that star routes include all
mail routes where the mail is car
ricd through the country hy private
conveyanccs. There are 373 of
these routes in South Carolina-quite
number Of which run through your
county-so that they touch almost
every ncighborhood in the State.
"This service will begin July 1st
next for term of four years. All
that is necessary on the part Of the
people living on, or adjacent TO, one
Of these mail routes, in order to
secure free delivery of their mail, is
to erect box on the roadside in
such position that the carrier can
reach it without leaving the seat Of
his vehicle, and then direct the post
master to send your mail out by
such carrier.
GAS the service is being under
taken in an experimental way, and
in South Carolina only, upon my
suggestion and urgent recommends
tion, | may be pardoned for feeling
some anxiety for such results in the
whole State as will Justify the assur-
ances | have given here.
"Much is depending upon the in
tcrcst and appreciation shown by
our people. AS first evidence of
proper interest and appreciation, |
hope our people will erect neat
hoxes-don'L be content with any
old waste box-and let them be
ready for the first trip of the carriers
under the new contracts next July"
