The First ExpansiOnist.

Afterrhaving gone ahead, on his owr
motion, and made the Louisiana pur'
chase from France, Thomas Jefferson
in his next annual message to congress
discussed the situation as follows:
Whilst the property and sovereignty
Of the Mississippi and it's waters secure
an outlet for the produce Of the West.

ton through their course, free from
collision with other powers and the
dangers of our peace from that source
the fertility of the country, its climate
and extent. promise in due season i'm
portant aids to our treasury, and ample
provision for our posterity. and wide
spread for the blessings of freedom ano
equal laws. -.
With the wisdom Of congress 1t viii
rest to take those ulterior measures
which may be necessary for the imme-
date occupation and temporary gov
ernment Of the country; for it's occupa-
ton into our union; for rendering the
change of government blessing to oul
newly adopted brethren; for securing te
them the rights of conscience and OF
property: for confirming to the In
dian inhabitants their occupancy and
self government, establishing friendly
and commercial relations with them
and for ascertaining the geography OF
the country acquired.
All this seems to be as appropriate
now in it's application to the Philip
pines, as it was in it's application tc
the Louisiana purchase in 1903. There
was as much bowling in the North
amongst the opposition to the Louis
lana purchase, as there Is today to the
Philippine acquisition. Jefferson used
the same argument in behalf Of his ac-
ton as Senator McLaurin is using to-
recommendation Jefferson pointed
out the benefits that were to accrue to
his newly adopted brethren, the In
dians. Senator McLaurin does the
same. The Louisiana acquisition was
by purchase first and conquest after
ward. The Philippine acquisition was
by conquest, confirmed by purchase
and further clinched by conquest. The
conquest of the Philippines has cost
lives; but the conquest Of the Indians
Of the Louisiana purchase cost more In
both blood and money. Thomas Jeffer-
son is generally conceded to have been
a Democrat The people who opposed
the Louisiana purchase, and who con-
tinued to howl against it long after the
deal had been consummated, did not
claim to be Democrats. If Jefferson
was a Democrat and. expansion was
Democratic in his day, the same must
be true in this day. Rejecting over the
whole matter with the utmost serious
ness and soberness, it is really puz-
zling to ascertain since when expan-
sion ceased to be good Democratic doc
trine. Somehow or other we do not
believe there has been any change
since the days of Jefferson.

the close down of last Saturday. The
illness of Mrs. Mckinley, at San Fran

dents trip. The gunboat Scorpion

the occasion of the reunion. "A Wash

pices of the American Federation of

been dreadfully mixed up on the ques-
ton of Democratic principles during
the past dozen years, and they are only
just now coming to realization Of or
thodoxy. The fact that they are will
ing and anxious to listen to Mr.. Nc
Laurin is to be taken as evidence that
they realize that something is wrong,
and to intimate that they are not will
ing to act upon or acknowledge convic-
tion, is hardly just. Most people in this
country are disposed to do what they
believe to be right, and that disposition
is by no means confined to business
men, bankers, capitalists, manufactu-
rers, etc. There is as much intelligence
among the agricultural classes as
among the classes mentioned by Mr..
Latimer, and if the principles and poll
cies advocated by Mr.. McLaurin did
not appeal as strongly to one right
thinking class as another, we are sat-
isfied that he would drop them the mo-
ment he became convinced that such
was the fact.

Mr.. Bryan still contends that there is
no need for territorial expansion so
long as there is such vast acreage of
unimproved lands within the former
limits Of the United States. This post
factum argument reaches back with
equal condemnation on Thomas Jeffer-
sons Louisiana purchase. The country
owned more land than it could work at
the time Of the addition Of the Jefferson
plantation, consisting Of what are now
the states of Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa,
Idaho, Minnesota, the Dakotas, most OF
Kansas, all of Nebraska, part Of Colo
RADIO, most of Wyoming, all Of Mon
tana, most of Louisiana, and parts Of
Alabama and Mississippi.

A. r.. PRESBYTERY.

The late meeting Of the First presby-
terry, which met at Ebenezer. N. c., on
May I, 1901, was we'll attended, there
being present 60 delegates. The number
Of elders present was unusually large
for the spring meeting. Rev. r. E.
Hough, of Back Creek, preached the
opening sermon, and Rev. S. M. Patter-
son, of Central Steel Creek, presided
over the sessions.
The financial reports were good
There was only one church that had
not paid their pastors salary in full
for the past year.
Calls came up to the presbytery from
Mooresville and Coddle Creek, N. c.,
for Rev. r. C. Davidson: from New
Perth and New Sterling, N. c.. for Rev
E. F. Griffith; from Hebron-a new
church in York county-for Rev. ]. s.
Grier; and two calls came from Second
presbytery-one from Bethlehem, Alb
beville county, for Rev. D. G. Caldwell;
and one from Ora, Laurens county. s.
c., for Rev. B. H. Grier. These calls
were all accepted, and arrangements
made for the settlement Of the pastors
except in the case of Rev. B. H. Grier
who asked for time to consider his call
Rock Hill asked to be allowed to cal
a pastor. The rapid growth Of this
church will soon make it possible foJ
this mission to become self-sustaining
Student E. A. Ransom preached a
trial discourse, and Student ]. r. MIL
len, was licensed after sermon deliv-
cred before presbytery and lecture
passed on by a committee.
The question Of enlarging the curric-
ulum of the Jones' seminary at All
Healing, N. c., provoked an extended
Il ,octn to of M q
striction allowing the school to prepare
pupils only for the sophomore class In
colleges of good standing, except in the
case Of local pupils who are allowed tc
study higher branches.
1t was alleged that the restriction
was unfair and injudicious on the one
hand. and on the other 1t was affirmed
that the school was undertaken by the
present management with the distinct
condition that it was not to be a riva
of the Due West Female college or OF
Erskine college. Nothing was done
The school stands as originally started
The presbytery was handsomely en-
tertained by Rev. G. r. White and his
people at EbeneZer The beautiful new
church, just finished, was very much
admired.
Bethany, York county, was selected
as the place of the next meeting, or
Tuesday after the last Sabbath Of Oc.

THE Turkish government is in trou-
BILE with all the world powers. 1t is be-
cause of the postal system that prevails
throughout the Turkish empire. With
the exception of the United States
most of the leading powers maintain
postal systems Of their own in Turkey
The sultan claims that these systems
are being used for the distribution OF
seditious literature and for smuggling
purchases. He wants to abolish them
The powers are not willing to entrust
the interests Of their subjects with the
Turks, and they are not willing for the
abolition of their postal systems. Force
is being talked Of; but the probability
is that the sultan will have to yield.

For reasons that do not require ex-
planation, it was not practicable to
print both sides of the Williams-Gonza-
les controversy in the last issue of THE
ENQUIRER. Fairness demands that The
States reply to Mr.. Williams be laid
before the readers who saw what Mr..
Williams had to say. The re-produc-
ton of Mr.. Williams's article is made
necessary because Of the style in which
The State makes its reply. If the mat
ter were not of such purely personal
nature, we would be glad to comment
on some of the statements that are not
exactly in accordance with our recol-
lections and impressions. Under the
circumstances, however, it Is probably
just as we'll that we should refrain
from meddling. Many of our readers
know more or less about all the facts
at issue, and they are no doubt compe-
tent to draw their own conclusions
without assistance from us.

IN one of his speeches a few days
ooo Droc;6oof MoKip1au

IN one of his speeches few days
ago, President Mckinley said:
1T Is your business as we'll as mine
to see to it that an industrial policy
shall be pursued in the United States
that shall open up the widest markets
in every part Of the world for the pro-
ducts of American soil and American
manufacture. We can now supply our
own markets. We have reached that
point in our industrial development,
and in order to secure sale for our sur
plus products we must open up new
avenues for our surplus. I am sure
that in that sentiment there will be no
division, North or South"
Upon reading the above, it struck us
as having the ring Of good Democratic
doctrine, and on referring to the Dem
ocratic platform Of 1892, we find in Sec
tion thereof the following: TRADE in
terchange on basis Of reciprocal ad-
vantages to countries participating is
a time-honored doctrine of Democratic
faith" All of this goes to show that
Mr.. Mckinley is drifting Democratic
ward rather than Republicanward, and
it seems that those of us who claim to
be Democrats are about to be confronted
with the question as to whether we
stand by our guns or beat precipitate
retreat from the most intelligent and
progressive policy we have ever advo-
Gated. Before moving in the matter. it
seems to us that it would at least be
well to wait and see whether Mr.. Nc
Kinley is coming alone, or whether he
is followed by his party.

Tom L. Johnson, the newly elected
mayor of Cleveland, Ohio, prominently
spoken of as a possible candidate for
the presidency, is a "single taxer."
That is he believes there should be no
tax of any kind except on land, and he
wants the tax levied irrespective of i'm
provements. He also believes in muni-
cipal ownership of all public utilities,
such as street car lines, telephone, gas,
electric lights, water works, etc. AL
though having accumulated great
wealth from various monopolies, when
charged with inconsistency, he explains
his position this way: II advocate now
and have advocated the abolition OF
and have been a beneficiary Of them
all. If there is any Inconsistency In
that it is not my fault. preach what
I sincerely believe to be the true and
lust social condition of equal rights, OF
real freedom. Yet I must live under
such laws and usages as the majority
Of the people decree. They say that
these monopolies shall exist; that
bread-winning shall be a scramble;
that there shall be many poor among
us and comparatively few rich. I do
not believe that this is right, and I am
raising my voice wherever possible
against it. But the people will not yet
listen. They have different views from
mine, and they hold to them. Now, be-
ing compelled to live in this state of
things where life is a scramble which
the people will not stop, I am bound to
do the best I can for myself. And SO
I rush in and grab all the monopolies
can get my hands on, firm in the pur-
pose. however, to use the wealth so OBJ
tained to teach the people how mis-
guided they are to permit themselves
to be robbed in this way"

E0 gcfic1d Candidates.

Edgefield special of Saturday to the
Columbia State: Hon. w. j. Talbert, in
n conversation with you correspondent
this morning, stated that he was
squarely in the race for governor and
would remain in it until the last vote
was counted. He feels hopeful Of sue
cess. Rumor says that Ex-Governor
Sheppard and Lieut.. Governor Tillman
will also be in the race for governor.
Mr.. Sheppard has made no other an
nouncement except that If he runs for
any office at all it will he for that Of
governor. Mr. Ti!lman will either run
for congress or for governor.

BECAUSE the Republican party, with
the exception Of a few dissenters, has
had the good sense to appropriate the
Democratic principle Of expansion, Is
no reason why the Democratic party
should abandon the same.

WE fail to find anything that is dis
creditable in that interview which Mr..
Latimer gave out in Washington the
other day. Even his reference to what
are said to he Republican principles, "
is probably warranted where one does
not know better. In the statement that
"the people of the South are Democrats
by tradition and inclination. and it is
Democratic principles for which they
stand" he is eminently correct. But it
must not be forgotten that they have
