Entered at the Post Oflice at Manning as Second-Class M1atter. The coming home of Admiral Dewey is now the subject of discus sion for hero worshipers, and when he reaches American shores the gov ernment will have to, provide him with a protecting escort, lest the American enthusiasts kill him with effusive and slobbering attentions; especially will this be necessary if Dewey visits Charleston with Ben Tillman. Since the recent spur in the prices of manufactured goods there has been many converts in this State to the protective tariff idea, and were poli tics eliminated and a vote taken upon the question of free trade or protec tion, it would not surprise us if the result was very surprising. A man's pocket often affects his views on po litical measures and if our manufac turers find protection a good thing for their output they will certainly aid any effort to bring about such a sentiment in this State. The grand jury of Florenze county in their presentment to the recent term of court say that bribes were offered to school trustees for their signatures to warrants to pay for the famous inaps and charts. State Su perintendent of Education McMahan has issued an order to county trustees forbidding the payment of the war rants, having the Attorney General's opinion that they are fraudulent claims, and that the county is not lia ble for them. The trouble is that the bulk of the claims have already been paid. The Cuban soldiers are rather chary about taking Uncle Sam's three million dollars with tfre understand ing that they must give up their arms; so far very little of the money has been paid out because of the opposi tion by the Cuban leaders. Things are not as serene on the Island as we would like to see, and we may have an outbreak at any time. In that event our government lately engaged in freeing the Cubans from the op pressions of Spain, will have to insti tute a war to suppress those for whom so much life has been spent. We be lieve it was Lieutenant Totton who predicted a few years ago, that this country wvould have many wars, and it looks as if Tottens prophesy is coming true. The war in the Philippines is not ended yet, although the dispatches a few days ago indicated a cessation of hostilities with an almost sure pros pect of a final surrender of the Fili pinos. Later reports, however, show that the forces of Aguinaldo are not yet overcome, and instead of being on the verge of throwing up their hands, they have renewed their activ ities and are giving the American forces so much fight that more sol diers will be needed to drive the sav age Filipinos into the ranks of civili zation. It is our opinion that if the United States government can find a place to slip out of the awkward po sition it has placed itself in by this imitation of British policy, it would willingly do so, because it has been fully demonstrated that the people are not in sympathy with the move ment. It is costing too rnuch blood and treasure. Now that the wet sea son has about set in, simply means death to odfr soldiers with very little having been accomplished, and it is being hinted that the savage Fili pinos have succeeded in outwitting us in diplomacy, by having the fight ing stopped to gain time and organ ize their scattered forces. The terms of surrender offered by them were such as General Otis could not agree to, and the Filipinos did not expect him to, all they wanted was time and this they succeeded in getting. Now they are fighting harder than ever, and before peace is declared in the Philippines, many a poor American will fill a foreign grave. William Jennings Bryan continues to talk to big crowds, and there seems to be no such thing as the people tiring of his eloquence and reasoning, but what does it amount to when the trusts, combinations and monopolies have the people where Ncptha had the goose. The old goose kept a shrieking, but Neptha held his hold shrieking their woes, ot when the time comes to vote, the trusts, com bines and monopolies rule the ballot box; it is therefore useless to predict a Democratic victory next year; noth ing short of a revolution can drive the Republican party from the politi cal trenches. William McKinley will be renominated and so will William J. Bryan and it really does not mat ter whether Bryan plays on the free silver cornet or the anti-imperialist harp, the die is cast and McKinley will be re-elected by a large majority. The Republicans have gotten the country in the midst of a stream and just as sure as fate, the American people will refuse to swap horses in such a position. Thbis sounds like queer doctrine for a Democratic news paper, but it is our sincere views and we believe in giving expression to them with candor. Bryan is the greatest leader the Democracy haE had in many years, honest, sincere and full of fire, but he is wasting time running after the Presidency at this time; he would be of greater service to his country were he to stop chas ing a rainbow and go to work in the halls of Congress where his voice and vote could count. The only possible chance for a Democratic victory it 1900 lies in the folly of the Republi can party refusing to renominate Mc Kinley; should such an error be made, then Bryan stands a chance to carry his party on to victory, oth. erwise there is no more chance for s Democratie victory than there is foi a cat in hades without claws.

C., May 19, 1899 -That another very serious mistake was made by this administratior when it instructed the American del. egates to the Czar's disarmament con ference, now sitting at the Hague, tc join the British delegates in working to secure an agreement of the nationm represented for international arbitra tion, is believed by many close stu dents of international politics. Should such an agreement be entered intc the UJ. S. would be likely to get the worst of every question submitted tc arbitration that effects European in terests, for the very simple reasoz that a majority of the arbitrators would necessarily be European, pos. sessing the natural prejudice thai every man feels against the inhabi tants of another hemisphere. Sena tor Stewart, whose wide experience in public life and close study of histo ry makes his opinion entitled to con sideration, says that he will live tc deeply regret it, if we enter any arbi tration agreement with the Europear nations; that every dicision under such an agreement would certainly be anti-American, and that we will be all the time fighting a hostile combina tion from which we can expect neither justice nor fairplay. Ex-Governor Evans of South Caro lina, who has just returned from Cu ba, where he was serving on the stafi of Gen. Ludlow, who is in command of the city of Havana, hasii't a higlh opinion of the Cubans. He says the talk about the patriotism of the Cubar soldiers is all bosh; that there is nc such thing in existence; that with few exceptions, they were actuated b~y desire for plunder and to hold office. He also says that Coxey's army wvas a band of aristocratic gentlemen by comparison with the followers of Go mez, and that it would be a far great er crime against civilization to allow these men to control the island than it wvould have been to have left the Spaniards in control, and that prop. erty-owners over there are unanimous for annexation. Secretary Wilson of the Depart' ment of Agriculture, who has just re turned from a Southern trip, is in elined to grow enthusiastic over whal he believes will be accomplished by the Southern people in the neai future. He says, among other inter esting things, that they will in the course of time grow all the tea con sumed in this country, and manufac ture practically all the cotton the3 grow, and of the peopie: "The uni versal sentiment in the South, so faa as I could observe, was that they wet come every Northern man of educa. tion, enterprise or means." John Sherman has stirred up thi administration once more. On his way to Ohio he gave out an inter view at Pittsburg which caused I sensation in administration circles when it was telegraphed to Washing ton. The old man jumped on thi Philippine policy with both feet, s< to speak, declaring it to be wrong from beginning to end, or at least to where it has got.

Notwithstanding official denials everything points to the correctness of the press reports from Manila, stat ing that there is a clash between the military and civilian members of the Philippine Commission as to how the Filipinos should be dealt with. In the first place, if these statements had not been absolutely correct they would not have been allowed to pass the strict censorship at Manilla. It is stated upon good authority that this clash was of such a serious nature that General Otis appealed to Mr. McKinley, and intimated as strongly as a military man may with prcpriety to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army that unless he was sus tained in the controversy he would ask to be relieved of duty in the Philippines. It is understood that Mr. McKinley decided to uphold Otis, and that was why the official denial of any clash of authority in the com mission was given out. Although two of the speakership candidates-Hopkins of Ills., and Sherman, of N. Y. are in Washington as well as numerous other politicians, politics had to take a back seat this week to give the people a chance to enjoy the three day Peace Jubilee, which closed tonight with a mam moth concert in Convention Hall. Everybody from President to the humblest individual, have tired them selves out with parades on three suc cessive days, fireworks on a big scale for three successive nights, trotting around to see the sights, which in cluded some of the handsomest deco rations ever put up in Washington, and they are doubtless better off than if the time had been spent in discuss ing Speakership possibilities. Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that too. by a lady in this country: "Disease fastened its clutches upon her and .for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she conghed incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally 3iscovered a way to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump tion, any was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night, and with two bottles has been absolutely cured.

Miss Eva Curtis, our popular and efficient teacher,deserves great credit for the manner in which she conduc ted the school exhibition on the oc casion above referred to. Miss Eva certainly possesses in a high degree the art of imparting knowledge to her pupils. This. was clearly demon strated by the excellent manner in which each and every one of her scholars acted their parts in the va rious dialogues, charades and recita tions. All did well, but I cannot help but notice in particular two lit tle girls, namely, Margaret Thames and Addie Butler. Should I say that their acting, singing and recitation was perfect it would not express it, but when the extreme youthfulness of these little girls is taken into con sideration it was simply marvelous. I could mention several others that came up to the standard of excel lency, but suffice it to say that the entire school deserves great credit, as the frequent plaudits of the large and appreciative audience clearly demonstrated. Not only was the au dience charmed with the acting, singing, etc., but they were regaled between scenes by the delightful strains of music upon the 'violin by Mr. Murr-itt Mouzon, accompanied by Miss Minnie Curtis upon the organ. The unanimous verdict of all present was that they spent a most enjoyable evening. The programme was as follows: Song-Happy Greeting-By school.

At the conclusion of the exercises several beautiful books were awarded by the teacher as prizes to those who had averaged highest in the differ ent branches during the school term. The next day the entire school, with the teacher, the patrons and a large contingent of friends and in vited guests assembled at the acad emy and there under the shade of the large and beautiful oaks was held the school picnic. The children gave themselves up to pleasure. The old vets (for there were seveal present) enjoyed their social chats, and the young ladies and young men enjoyed the ice and ice cream. But the crowning joy of all was when the baskets were brought forth and a bountiful dinner of everything good to be had was spread. After dinner games and plays of various kinds were indulged in by the young people until the sun be gun to sink. Thus ended a most de lightful day, an occasion long to be cherished in the memories of the chil dren of Silver school. W. S. B. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.
