FEAR AN INsULAR WAR.
New Light Thrown on Dispatch of
 Troops to Manila.

Washington Special to N. Y Globe.
 Gossip in army circles sheds a new light on the reasons back of the action of the administration in sending addi tional troops to the Far East, and on the reports coming from Manila of un- usual activity among the troops already there and in the islands, It Is said that, while the administration may re- gard with apprehension the prospects of trouble in China, there Is also danger of trouble nearer home which has fully as much, If not more, to do. with the dispatch of more troops to the Philip pines.
 licly. conditions in the Philippines are not satisfactory, and army men among themselves intimate that the Govern ment Is hurrying forces to Manila to prepare for an outbreak in the Philip
 Army officers have all along had the fear that the experience of the spanish desire of the Filipinos for independence
 is as strong as it ever was, and 1t would be only natural that this desire
 should take the form Of an under ground organization to throw of American rule. There is reason to be- lievc the Government has been apprised
 of q powerful inSurrectionary move ment, and that 1t intends to have troops
 at hand in number to meet any emer-
 gencies. At the same time 1t Is also necessary to make arrangements to meet trouble Tn emma II It comes, as many believe it will.
 It has not escaped remark here that the few thousand additional men which
 the Government will send to the Phil ippineS would be inadequate to meet the uprising in China of the proportions expected. On the other hand, this
 small body of troops would go far to- ward coping with any Philippine 1nsur- rectiOn. The Chinese regular army, un- der training of Japanese and American officers. has become formidable in stitution It numbers about 6O,000
 men. and in recent maneuvers 1t show, ed itself an efficient and well-drilled force
 The prospects are that if an uprising
 took place against the foreigners the regular troops would join with the anti foreign side, It was the experience Of the Boxer troubles that the regular
 troops could not be depended on to help protect the foreigners. unless the
 regular army of China has changed greatly in disposition, and is willing to turn ifs guns on it's own people. march . | ing on Picking will be quite a dinerent thing from what it was in 1900; Hence there is a strong pellet m many quarters that if the Government | really felt it would be necessary to 1 send troops to China it would dispatch larger force than 1t has. Many be- i lieVc that the Chinese version or the 1 War Departments course mas been ! foStored by officials for the purpose or divrrting attention from the Philip | pines.

IMPORTANCE OF COTTON.

The Manufacturers Record. in a re- cent issue, gives some figures compar- ing the value of the cotton and the gold and silver production of the world. The total value of cotton production from 1900 to the end of 1905 is estimated at s2.s74. 100000, while the combined value of the gold and silver production was 57S,652,000. This shows a cotton valuation of s395. 5.14s.0oO in excess of the gold and silver production. Com mentfng on this showing. The Record says;
 What it means for the South to hold a practical monopoly of the worlds cotton production is not generally appreciated. nor the potentiality of this fully grasped. Destroy corn. and you could find a substitute; destroy wheat, and other grains would furnish bread for mankind: but cut short the South's cotton crop by one-half and the finan- ger; destroy cotton, and civilization would be halted. Earth has no substi- tute for cotton. Cotton. the South's crown of glory, is the basis of the greatest industry of the world; it Is the one staple which enters into every civi- 1ized life; 1t is needed in the palace of the King as well as in the humblest hut of the peasant; it is the glistening sail alike of the royal pleasure yacht and the ship of commerce.: 1t is an es- sential in the hospital. where it makes possible the surgery of the day, as it is on the tented battlefield: 1t Is the ba- sis of the greatest manufacturing in dustry in the world. employing more than s2,000. 100000 of capital and an- nua1ly producing of manufactured goods an equal amount of more than iron and steel; 1t is the dominant power in commerce; it brings to the South from Europe an average of over $1.- 100000 day for every day in the year.

Forget Lights of Other Days.

Jackson day has long been a festival among Democrats and certain politi- cal significance used to attach to the speeches made on this occasion. While the day is not celebrated as widely as it used to be. yet it cannot be that the New Orleans, who was twice President of the United States, is held in less reverence than in the old days. Times have changed, however, and parties go back to the past now, as they were wont to do for standards of great ness in public light. Even the birth day of George Washington is not cele- brated with the patriotic ardor and earnestness of the past Still there Is no probability that Jackson will soon be forgotten by all save those who delve into the pages of history.

Japan's Obligations.

NeW 1OTk Il lmeS.
 The western powers are not models of scrupulous justice toward each oth- CT and toward weaker nations, but such an offense as Japan would com init in supporting, or even permitting it. if she could prevent, the driving of occidentals from China would certainly be looked on as unpardonable. For one thing, at the very start, 1t would snap the alliance with Great Britain. The British government would be forced to regard such an offense not merely as a failure in friendliness but as an act of flagrantly hostile import. And her grievance, though greater in degree, would be of precisely the same kind as that of Germany, France, the United States and Russia.

ROTH TO BLAME.

The Indianapolis Star argues that | "the gradual arrogation of all federal appointments to the Senate by itself
 that confront our politics. A number of Presidents have been bulldozed by
 Senators into improper appointments as
 the price of Senatorial support on nec-
 essary legislation"
 That Roosevelt resents such "arroga- tion" is evident. but to great extent
 he brought it on himself. It is an old
 axiom that like begets like, and he has
 exhibited such evidences of a determi-
 nation to have his own way that 1t is
 not surprising to find the Senators re-
 volting against it. If the truth must be told both sides are to blame MT. Roosevelt has on so many occasions tried to travel his own road without re-
 gard to right or propriety that he has | in his own followers.
 But while this is true we think 1t | equally true that there is too much | dictation on the part of Congressmen in the matter of apointments-not ad-
 vice, but dictation. The country holds the President responsible for his ap- 1 pointments and while 1t Is right and proper that he should seek the advice | of Senators or members of the House as to the appointment of their constitu- ents 1t certainly is not right for them
 to demand the appointment of men for
 mere personal 9or policical reasons. That is an evil, no less than that the President should try to use his own
 will in such matters and attempt to
 entirely ignore the other branches of
 the government There is doubtless 1 blame on both sides.

The Nebraska State Journal, refer ring to the proposed Alabama plan for choosing Senators and alternates says: t'It will be noticed that the Iegisla- ture has nothing to say about it." On the contrary the Legislature will have very much to say about 1t for that body must elect the Senators. and though the members will be expected to vote for the men selected at the primary there is no law to force them to do so. The result of the primary will be just as binding on the Legislature as the action of party caucus would be, and no more. It is not supposable that members would negative the action of the voters at the polls, but the Legis- lature has the last say

Attitude of Standard Oil.

CVTTWE IItIU TNVpWUIIVtEII
 It is not exactly a confession oi guilt which Standard Oil officials make in resorting to petty and contempti- ouiry into the operations of the mOnop- oIy in that State. but it is reveal ment of temper which angrily resents as an impertinence any assertion of the public authority in relation to the dOtngs of this concern. This has long been the attitude of the Standard oil ring. and there is a bare possibility that 1t may be persisted in too long for the happiest consequences to the Rocke- fellers and Rogerses.

Diversified Farming fin Sumter County.

 vile, this county, show by the follow. ing figures. which are correct, what two men did in farming and stock raising during the year 1905:
 Had 17 acres in Alfalfa and cut 100 tons.
 Had 60 acres in Johnston grass and cut 200 tons.
 Had 50 acres in cotton and raised 20 bales.
 Had 60 acres in corn and gathered 1000 bushels Sold 43 2-year old cattle for $1,233. Killed 4.500 pounds of meat. Sold $100 worth of sheep and wool. Had 352 acres in pasture. These gentlemen were in debt fifteen years ago; today they are wealthy and when the above figures are considered 1t is easy to understand how they made it. Sumter County cannot be beaten for diversified farming and stock raising.

Many man would be better off if he had been as wise on this subject as Solomon was. and had known when it was the proper time to remain silent.
