are, as a rale, expansionists, - impe

But there is a string to their expan

them in any way nor interfere with
the monopoly which they hare of
the home market. This is the secret
of the course that has been pursued
towards Porto Eico, ,the Philippines
and Hawaii, and' the course that is
being pursued - toward 'Cuba,' and
this is the secret of the recent re
markable decision of the TJ. S. Su-
- preme Court, which virtually applies
to all our territorial possessions as it
did to Porto Rico.
In accordance with the limitation
of the Foraker bill Porto Eico is now
: .to have the benefit of free trade with
. this country, but if Congress sees
fit it can levy duties on Porto Eican
products, and duties to be collected
in Porto Eico on imports from this
country. Whether this will be done
or not may depend upon whether
the imports from that island inter
fere with the products of the pro
tected classes in . this country. At
present the competition of the island
may not be materially felt, and
.- therefore she may. enjoy free trade
without any interference from the

THE hew worm
COMMERCIAL.
; - WHY IT IS.
-It is somewhat remarkable in the
discussion by Eepublicah japers of
the suffrage question in the South,
that it is not so much the restriction
of negro suffrage that they object to
as the failure to restrict white suf
frage in the same way. If the illit
erate white man and the illiterate
negro were put on the same plane,
they would, they say, have no ob
jection to make, which means that
in their estimation there is no dif
ference between the illiterate white
man and the illiterate negro,' and
that one is about aa competent and
safe voter as the other. This is put
ting a very low estimate on the il
literate white man of the South and
one that would not be put upon him
by anyone who knows anything
about the Southern white man.
Whether they can read and write
or not there is this difference be
tween the two races; the white man
exercises some judgment and has
opinions of his own, and is governed
by this judgment and these opinions
in forming his party affiliations and
in casting his ballot, and hence we
find white men afiliating with all
the leading political parties, Demo
cratic, Republican and Populist.
Enough of them affiliated with the
Republican and Populist parties in
this State for several years to defeat
the Democratic party. The negroes,
on the contrary, exercise no judg
ment and have no opinions, but go
in a mass as the leaders order them,
vote as they are told to vote, and
have no more idea as to the issues at
stake and the merits of those issues
than they have of the Chinese
problem which has been giving
European statesmen so much
tronble. All they know and all they
care to know is that they are voting
against the Democratic party.
That's the kind of roting the
white people of the South want to
protect themselves against and this
is the reason for whatever discrimi
nation may be shown in the restric
tion of suffrage. The Northern
papers which howl about it are
not honest or they do not under
stand it.

NOT 80 DISttAL AFTER ALL.
It is beginning to be discovered
that the Dismal Swamp is not so dis
mal after all and Northern prospec
tors have found it so attractive that a
syndicate proposes to establish there
in a great sanitarium. It lies partly
in Virginia and partly in North Car
olina, is about thirty miles long from
North to South, with an average
width of from ten to twelve miles
and contains about three h
square miles. Lake Drummond, in
Virginia, is about in the center of it,
and is about six miles long. The
following, which we clip from the
Brooklyn Citizen, shows that this
Dismal region is not such a dismal
one as the name would imply:
"The Dismal Swamp is really not at
all dumal, but accordinjt to the des
cription of local surreyen and reo-
grapners is a region of remarkable
beauty, besides being healthy enough
to make it one of the most attractive
sanitariums anywhere to be found.
It is not, as most people imagine, a
bog sunk low in the ground into
which the drainage of the surrounding
country flows..
"On the contrary, according to
accurate surveys. It is a bow ths li
ground some 'fifteen or twenty feet:
and instead of being the receptacle!
is. in its immense spongelike bulk
gathering the waters that descend up
on it, the source , of rivers, fiT6 of
which take their origin within it and
now onward to the sea. -

Greenville Reflector'. On Sun
day afternoon several young men were
bathing in a swimming hole in Grin

They were amusing themselves - by
standing on a log and diving off in the
water, turning a summersault - in the
descent When Mr. Percy Manning
was making a jump from the log his
footing slipped and instead of falling
in the deep water he fell where it was
very shallow. The back of his neck
and shoulders catching the force of
the fall on the sand, his spinal column
was dislocated near the neck. His
comrades seeing the accident quickly
pulled him out of the water and pre
vented his being drowned. Mr. Man-?
ning was taken to the home of Mr. J.

Dr. W. H. Bagwell, who attended
him, says almost his entire body is

Robert Mercer did not think he had,
for he had . searched him. The con
stable leaped out after him and pulling
out his pistol fired at him. Mr Mercer
says ne is certain that he shot the man
in the bowels. The wound, wherever
it wasdid not disable the man for he
closed with the constable, and after a
desperate struggle,lasting nearly a half
of an hour, during which no one ap
peared on the road, he overcame Mr.
Mercer sufficiently to take his pistol
from him, but breaking it so that the
bullets fell out, probably saving Mr.
Mercer from being shot Moore es
caped into the woods. A posse is now
being formed to hunt him.
