Senator Patterson of Colorado will not be
governed by the Democratic causes in its OPP
position to the ratification OF q treaty with
San Domingo. And the Democrats are say.
ing all SORTS OF things about him, showing
bis Inconsistency and threatening to read bin
out Of the party, and furnishing in any way
possible. Consistent or not, right or wrong,
the Senator maker a brave and manly stand
for a principle which we believe to he right,
and despite the awful consequences for the
act, he will vote for the ratification OF q
treaty with San Domingo. We believe II
right 10 make the treaty or TO annex the
Island. The island Is ofgreat value 10 Us. II
held by US. but If held by any OF the great
Pow ers IL would be a menace to America, or.
that is the way We look at 1t, and If this
editor had a vote We should vote 10 ratify
the tr eaty or to annex the island.

The Com ptrolIer General and IN
r eenvilIe County Omcers.

GRE - Souhsy
From statements made last week by tht
Comptroller-G General II seems that The Comp
troller-General and the Greenville county
officers In 1891 and in 1892 made very imper
feet or erroneous settlements In the handling
OF county funds for these years. II reads llke
ancient history. The motive for resurrectine
the matter at this late day and opening q sell
tlemen of twelve years. standing is not clear
to Us. The Complroller.General certainly
had no intention OF ref1ecting on the eficien.
oy or integrity of his predecessors In the
Comptrolier-Generar office. And then he
could have no object known 10 Us from which
to annoy the county officers, who, we pre-
sumo, nave long since gone out OF Office.
The post oface department requires fire
quent and definite settlements with the diff
ferent postmastersa and when a settlement is
made we believe the settlement is final and
the matter Is ended.
Railroad agents make frequent settlements.
Life insurance agents must make prompt
settlement.
Fire insurance agents pay of every month
The oil mill folk must make daily reports
and remittances.
The National Banks must make five set
Elements every year.
The State Banks must publish quarterly
reports.
The State Treasurer makes definite and
specific settlements.
With all these business examples before US
1t 10 strange that the county officers and the
Comptroller-Gen alone should have been
derelict In the past.
Every County Treasurer who has gone out
OF Office In this county has proved THE incl
hcieniy OF his Settle ments with the Comptrol-
ler-Gep eral. And we see no reason why these
officers should not settle in accordance with
the lsw which requires that the settlements
shall be correctly and fully made.
The efficiency and the activity OF the pres.
ent Comptroller-General Is, we think, the
best evidence that his successors In office may
not In future years dig up facts to prove de.
reflections of duty on his part. BE seems TO
be making their annual settlements as re-
auired by law, and in this way his service

Profanity.

Some time ago the S~partanburg Herald bad
something to say like this. or words to that
effect:
"Physicians use whiskey for medical pur-
poses; preachers use profanity for religious
purposes"
The following paragraph from the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian OF last week reminds
US Of what the Spartanburg Herald said, as
quoted above:
'Our Wills may innocently differ from
Gods In matters concerning which Gods
will can be known only in Its working out.
And In this lies the explanation OF much
Christian pain and sorrow. Gods differing
will is suddenly revealed In his providence.
Our plans GO to pieces our loved ones go to

full II we be submissive. And the submission
| God requires is not that we at once prefer
