GOVERNOR ODELL AND THE SECOND IEhh.

Returning from his vacation in California
Governor Odell tells the reporters who crowd
about him asking his political intentions Ina'
he has not mortgage on the NOMINATION. ioi
Governor He invites all persons VINO "ouia
like the nomination not to hold PACK Oh hiS
account suggests that there are many soou hien
who could be elected. and refrains from express
ing any determination as TO his own canoluac!'
This attitude will be variously interpreted
according to the disposition of the INTERPRETERS
Some will think the disavowal of any lien upon
the nomination is self-respecting modesty winch

Difference to the people on the part OF one VINO

unouestionably be renominated If he WANTS 10
be- there is no special reason for aHecIaIoh "
doubt on that point: and for our part we shouIu
no inclined TO think that the Governor really
intends. if he runs at all. to do SO because the
Marty wants him, and not because the mach1n-
cry of the party could be used TO nominate MIN.
His course as Governor has been entirely con-
sistent with that view He has uniformly fol-
lowed his own judgment, regardless OF nlnts
that he was hurting his personal political pros
meets. declaring that he was serving the people
as Governor to the best of his ability, not con-
Quoting political campaign. AS a party man
ager he was a politician first, last and all the
time. AS Governor he has been a business
administrator first, last and all the time 1t is
therefore natural that he should wait with re-
serve to read Republican opinion on this lnoe-
nendent attitude instead Of announcing MS
claims.
Whatever the motive Of his reucence, now
eyer. there can be no question that, If he is
renominated, it will not be because he has a
mortgage on the nomination. This is one OF
the peculiarly gratifying features of the sltua-
tion. If Governor Odell runs, as we believe he
will he will run as the candidate of a united
Republican party, the rank and file OF when
anproye his conduct as Governor and desire to
continue him in power. No delegate will go to
the State convention to vote for him at the die
tation of any organization in disregard OF the
sentiment Of the community he represents. A
free vote under direct primary system would
as certainly result in the denomination OF
Governor OdeIl as any determination Of State
leaders that their influence was TO be exerted
TO secure delegations for him. He has no mort
gage on the nomination. He needs none His
businesslike and economical conduct of State
affairs has won the favor of the people, and II
he cares TO undertake the duties of second
term the great body of Republicans will be
glad Of the opportunity to support him, and VIII
go to the polls confident Of victory under his
leadership.

EyposJTJ0Ns AND DEVELOPMENT.

Now that the Charleston Exposition is over,
having run its course at a heavy financial loss
to its projectors, South Carolinians are en-
deavoring to extract what profit they may from
a philosophical contemplation of its effect upon
the prosperity of the city and State THE
State" of Columbia, which Loyalty doomed"
the exposition while it lasted, now admits that
it was doomed to failure from the outset. Not
only is Charleston the smallest city that has
ever attempted so ambitious fair, but it would
be almost impossible Says 1.-The State'O to
find a city of it's size so disadvanta geously stu
ated for exposition purposes Its comparative
inaccessbility by railroad, the fact that it had
only half circle of land to draw upon for Wis
itors and that the region in its more immediate
neigbborhood had few white inhabitants who
could be counted upon steady patrons Of
the show are assigned as the principal reasons
for CharleSton'S failure exposition town.
The stockholders will certainly get nothing,
and the bondhOlders and other creditors will
probably also suffer to some extent. The only
people, apparently, who have been financially
benefited by the winters experience are those
Charlestonians who contributed little or nothing
to the financing of the venture-a state of affairs
that has been duplicated in the history Of more
than one exposition. Freely granting that the
city was well advertised by the exposition, 1.-THE
State" asks what good may be expected from
the advertising. Even with its new deep water
harbor, Charleston cannot be made great ex-
porting city without far better railroad connec-
tons than 1t has any prospects Of securing; and,
as the editor sagely observes, the people who
make up exposition crowds are not those who
build new railroads or establish new steamship
lines.
The conclusion of this friendly critic-and we
commend it, in view of the events of recent
exposition history, to the attention of other
ambitious American municipalities-is that the
development OF city comes not through the
adventitious aid Of expostions and their attend
ant advertising but through careful atten-
ton to the legitimate and natural sources of
that city's wealth For example If the people
of Charleston and South Carolina had spent
one-tenth Of the money sunk in the fair upon
an experimental farm for the purpose Of testing
crops TO take the place of cotton and rice now
grown at loss. the benefits would soon become

THE REDUCED ARMY.

The latest change III the composition Oh Ihe
Trnited States army is an additional proof Of
the desire on the part Of the government "
dispense with unnecessary troops and Striking
argument in favor of the elastic" provisions OF
the army regulations which became law carry
in 1901 The Presidents order reduces the
strength of the army by 10000 men, but II Goes
not in any way impair the efficiency OF the
force which, under the new order, Will be only
sc, 497.
Under the regulations adopted IN l9ol anu
approved by President Mckinley. the three pat
talon formation became effective, and eacn
of the twelve companies in the thirty 1n1anry
regiments became entitled to 104 officers and
enlisted men. In the cavalry regiments there
were eighty five troopers TO each troop, and
the twenty-five light batteries and three pat
teries of field artillery were each recruited up
to 100 men. The Presidents ORDER While II
reduces the strength of the three great arms
of the service, leaves the various organizations
unimpaired and in position to be augmented
in case of need without the addition of new
officers Companies of infantry will be reduced
from eighty-one privates to ffty-seven, max
ing the strength Of company eighty instead
of 104, and reducing the strength OF regl-
ment from 124S to $50 officers and enlisted
men. In the cavalry arm of the service the
reduction will give each troop seyenty-nve IN
stead of eighty five men, making a cavalry regl-
ment 900 strong.
The light and mountain batteries are reduced
from $50 to 100 men, making this arm of the
service $500 instead Of 1880. The saving TO
the government by the reduction will be about
S1OOO0000 year.
When the war with Spain broke out the
United States army consisted of about $4,000
men, and the two regiments of artillery which
were being formed at that time brought the
strength up to about $4,000. The addition Of two
companies to each of the existing organizations
brought the strength up to 630OO and
second increase took the army strength be-
yond the 100000 mark, and caused many critics
to predict evils from which it would be diff
cult TO recover. But with the improved con-
ditions in the Philippines and the transfer of
the government Of Cuba to the Cubans the ne
cessfty for a large force became diminished,
the reduction was made, and the order was one
of the many notably praseworthy acts OF the
War Department. The army will not be re-
duced to the strength outlined in the new order
for several months. but enlistments con-
tinually expiring and within about three
months the United States army, which fault
finders feared would reach gigantic proper
tions sap the vitality of the land and change
the character of the government, will have been
reduced to 63,714 enlisted men.

TIE SUGAR TRUST AND CUBA,

Rv far the most interesting development OF
fhe fight over Cuban reciprocity Is mat WHICH
was reyealed-exclusively- The 1rlpune
snecIaI Washington correspondence or yesler-
day. Briefly 1t is that the Sugar trust mas
secured practical control Of the beet sugar IN
dustry in the United States The big old Sugar
Trust. of Wilson tariff fame, has absorbed the
new Beet Sugar Trust That is the interesting
arrangement The makers Of II have not cared
TO make it known until, through their custom
sry methods they have secured satisfactory
settlement Of the Cuban reciprocity question:
anon which the bearings Of this deal are
obvious. Our Washington correspondent mas
aoweyer. learned the facts, upon undOubted
authority. The revelation Of them sheds
food of light upon a situation at Washington
which hiss for some time been inscrutably OBJ
scure.
Some time ago the Sugar Trust was supposed
10 no favorable 70 the establishment of reel
nFocity with Cuba, or at any rate not to be
cnnosed TO it. The charge was openly and
repeatedIy made indeed, in the beet sugar
organs and by beet sugar lobbyists and Con-
gressional Spokesman, that the whole reel
procity movement was being engineered by the
Sugar Trust for its own benefit This was, Of
course grossly untrue. But the impression was
widespread that the Sugar Trust and the Beet
Sugar Ring were on opposite sides Of the ques-
ton and were fighting each other. This i'm
preston was strengthened when the beet sugar
men began their investigation and tried TO show
that the Sugar Trust had mortgage on the
whole Cuban sugar industry. 1t was found
Impossible 10 prove the latter. Indeed. it was
disproved, as every rational might have
expected it would be. But the investigators
unfortunately failed 10 go q step further and to
ascertain to what extent the Sugar Trust had
q mortgage on the beet sugar industry in the
United States-that much coddled industry the
end and aim of which was 10 smash the Sugar
Trust"
In view Of our correspondents disclosures it
is easy to understand the hitherto inexplicable
conduct of many men at Washington. If in
stead of being favorable TO reciprocity, or neu-
traI, the influence Of the Sugar Trust is being
secretly exercised against such measure, it is
not difficult TO account for the way in which
pending legislation is delayed. If the Sugar
Trust and the Beet Sugar Ring, instead Of being
Antagonisuc to each other, are really in
