We are more than pleased to see
that movement has been started in
Charleston to raise fund for sword
to be presented to Major Jenkins in
place of the one that Jim Tillman had
secured for him. Anderson would
like to contribute to the fund, and we
believe every town and city in the
State would do the Same. a large
fund could thus be raised and very
fino sword secured for the gallant
hero, who would no doubt appreciate
it tho more on account Of coming from
the whole State. The President
should be invited to present it, and
let all true Carolinians 60 to Char
lesion and give him a reception that
would prove to him that Jim Tillman
represents nobody in South Carolina
but himself.

Within the past seventeen years
the building up of the new navy has
cost the government $257 600, 600.
No man with sound judgment and
patriotism has ever objected to this
expenditure. But while this sum has
been spent for new navy the stupen-
dous sum Of more than $4,000, 900, 600
has been spent on pensions. It is

The Exposition at Charleston seems
to be attracting a great deal of atten-
tion from the people Of tho country at
large. Cincinnati and Chicago have
sent large delegations there to inspect
the Show. The Governors of Geor-
gia, West Virginia and Indiana have
been there with their stats and others
and all seem to unite on one verdict,
that it is as creditable an Exposition
as any held in this country. Illinois
will inspect the Exposition on March
11th, with delegation of several hun
dred, and other States are booked for
later dates. The Legislature Of South
Carolina and the Governor Of the
State have given their endorsement to
the Exposition and urged that the
people Of the State visit the Exposi-
tion at least once, and have named
March goth, as South Carolina day,
with the idea that there should be o
grand rally of South Carolina on the
Exposition Grounds on that day. 1t
is South Carolina's first attempt to
chow to the country at large the In
dustries, Resources and Possibilities
of the State. They have been we'll
displayed. Let us all go, and by our
presence show an appreciation ard in

LABOR STRIKES.

Nearly every day VIC read in the
telcgraphic reports of the papers an
account of laborers' strikes in some
section of the country, especially in
the East, North and Northwest. Very
few of them occur in the South. In
nearly every instance the strikers de-
mand shorter hours for labor and in
creased wages. 1t is just as reason
able for the employers of labor to de-
mand that laborers work longer hours
and for less pay as it is for labor to
demand shorter hours and greater
wages.
Labor is commodity in the mar
kets Of the world. 1t is for sale to
the highest bidder. When there is
demand for it, it is worth more; when
there is surplus of labor it is worth
less.
To-day there is demand for labor
and it IS worth more than when there
was surplus. The increased price
Of labor can be brought about through
the inexorablc laws of supply and de-
mand. Men who need skilled labor
must be willing to pay for it or go
without it; but in order to get that
advance use reason, argument, con-
vincing proof that is just, and avoid
strikes, dynamite, boycott's, black
lists and lockouts. These are un-
American forces, and sooner or later
they will break the backbone Of any
body of men who try to enforce their
wishes through such demaLds.
Any man, or set Of men, have the
absolute and unqaestioned right to
quit work with or without cause, but
not one Of them, nor all Of them COM
bined have any right to say any other
man shall not work at any given price
or upon any given terms. The Gov
ernment, as a national body, when it
submits to dictation of this character,
is encouraging open rebellion. The
State, as governing body, when it
tolerates an uprising among part Of
'citizens who say they will not
work and others shall not, becomes at
once an arrant coward, and the men
in charge of affairs should then and
there bo removed from Office. The
same is true Of city government aud
the same is true Of an organization Of
business men, or au individul en-
ployer Of labor.

n. 3. Matteson's PecuIations Extended
for Period of Three Years.
Helena, Mont, Feb. ia special to
The Independent from Great Falls,
Mont, says that H. H. Matteson, who
on Jan. confessed to embezzling $75,.
900 from the First National bank while
acting as cashier, is now known to
have taken SITS 900, his operations ex.
tending over three years. The facts
were made known at a meeting of the
bank directors yesterday and another
complaint was sworn out against Mat.
tesOn, who was out on $4,000 bail. He
was taken before a commissioner and
his bond fixed at $4,000, the new
charge being that he embezzled $85,,
600 on Oct. 20.
MattesOn was not found until late
last night. He could not furnish the
new bond and he will probably be
taken to Helena and lodged in Jail.
National Bank Examiner Lazeer
states that if Matteson should secure
bail on the second charge he will be
at once rearrested on a charge of EN-.
.bezzling $4,000. The bank officers
became convinced that Matteson was
preparing to leave, and that was the
principal reason for having him arrest
ed on second charge and having the
bail increased 1t now develops that
the embeZZlements began in Dec. 1898.

TAFT DISCUSSES PHILIPPINES.
Attitude of Religious Sects TOWARD
One Another


Washington, Feb 19.-Among other
questions pertaining to the Philippines
discussed by Governor Taft today in
his testimony before the senate com
mittee was the attitude of the differ
ent religious sects toward one anoth-
er. He said that generally the rela-
tionship is friendly and the evangeIi-
cal churches are seeking to secure a
foothold in the island
He also referred to the ecclesiastical
courts, saying that under the Spanish
rule the members Of the religious or
ders could elect to have civil cases in
which they were concerned tried In
thOes courts rather than in the regu-
lar tribunals. He said that from 25
to so persons had been deported from
the Philippines, where they were sent
to Guam by the military authorities
because they are considered irrecon-
ciliables whose presence was injurious.
He said that so far as the Philippines
advocates of independence had ex-
pressed themselves all of them de-
sired independence with United
States protectorate. The convention
which adopted the Malolos constitu.
tion had been made up largely of
residents of Manila, he said, although
designated by Aguinaldo to represent
the various provinces. Comparatively
few of the Filipinos, he says, are ia
miliar with the constitution of the
United States, and he did not believe
that Aguinaldo is among those who
have this familiarity.
