The fall of Manila has broadened the horizon of the American people, and al ready there appear on the widening verge ominous clouds of undefined form. Have we reached a crisis in 1 onr national ca reer, and are we to be drawn away from our traditional self contained policy into the vortex of the world's politics? The least observant can see that conditions havs so far changed that we will, in the . future, have a strong party in this coun try lavorable to a larger participation in international problems. It seems well now to look at the changes of condi tions and to attempt to conjectuie their import. , ' The settlers of America possessed ad vantages unparalleled in the history of the world. The physical advantages were a vast and fertile territory, a varied and healthful climate and a remote isolated situation. The social advantages were that the hardy! and adventurous were drawn to American from many lands. They here found themselves freed from the medieval and burdensome political and social institutions and laws of Eu rope, and were here kneaded into some homogeneousnessby the common schools, common institutions, a common langnage and a common country. At first, and down to the .middle of the present century, we were too weak to in terfere in foreign problems, and the de velopment of our own country so absorb ed our energies that we had no time or disposition to disturb ourselves with the quarrels and complications of Europe Our one departure from our self-contained and self-developing policy was the aunun" ciation, informal, it is true, Of the Mon roe doctrine. The war of iSoi, happily ending in a reunited people and a recemented Union, awakened ourselves and the world to the consciousness of the vast wealth and power of the United States and of the martial and patriotic spirit of the people. The wonderful industrial development of America and her rapid increase in pop ulation have also more and more excited the attention, not to say the apprehen sions, of the world. War, far more than eyer before, is now a matter Of money and mechanical skil. The resources of European count ies are largely consumed in vast armaments employed in watching one another. With the flower of their men withdrawn from industrial pursuits and made a burden on industry, their ter ritory circumscribed and crowded, they are handicapped iu the industrial compe tition of the world. England, with her insular position, her numerous and rich colonies, her enlightened coloDial policy, her love for freedom, trade and adven ture, has been differentiated from the na tions of continental Europe; but, even iu her case, proximity to the continent and inevitable entanglement in its web of complications, have placed her at some disadvantage in the race. There ha v not been wanting those, and recently in France and Germany, who have called attention'to the fact that this race of nationalities "was bound, at no remote day, to end in the predomi nant position of the United States and England. This is the true fountain of the terror with which Europe views the possibility of the soncalled Anglo Saxon alliance. In this situation two changed condi tions are brought home to us. One is that the rivalry of nations, until recently was mostly one for territorial acquisition, has now become largely one for markets. England has in her colonies wisely pur sued the Open port policy. The freedom this gave to her colonies made them more prosperous and better markets. She trusted confidently to the enterprse of her people to secure her portion of the trade. But the continental nations of Europe undertook to monopolize the trade of their colonies. Such is the post uie of affairs when the threatened col lapse of the Chinese empire, with the possibility ot some of the partitioning powers closing parts of it to trade, has become of great importance to England, the United States and Japan. Thus we are measurably drawn into the great Ori ental entanglement.-- But changed conditions at home are of more importance than those abroad. While America is not settled in the sense that it is all ocenpied, and is not any where crowded, it is, to the army of pioneers, a settled country. All the best lands have been appropriated. The head of the host of pre-emptors reached the Pacific some twenty years ago, ana tne wave is now refluent. The capitalist, the herder. the minor and the pio jeer have exploited the whole country The spirit of ad venture and enterprise is beginning to chafe within the confines of the country and to recoil and overflow. Its recoil is felt in the unrest and chimeras which our recent politico have shown; its- overflow is felt iu Mexico, South America and China. - Few of us realize how prodigious .and multiform this spirit is. It is possi bly one ot the very greatest" social forces the world has witnessed more vast than the mysterious impulses which impelled the Teuton, the Hun and the Turk against Europe, For nearly three centuries all of the conditions here have nurtured and stimulated it. Can it be checked by na tional boundary lines?" Those who are inoculated with it and swept on by it will probably find allies even among the timid and conservative who, for self-protection, will advocate giving it vent Coming when it did, the war with Spain seems to have awakened the world and ourselves to the fact that the United States has entered on a new era. ' - - ' .' . " We can but believe that the mission of the United States to the world will be, as j it has been, one of freedom, civilization and progress. We had hoped that it j would work out this mission in peace and by example, with now and then a help ing hand to a struggling people. Nor do we yet dlspair of this consummation. But we cannot conceal irom ourselves tne fact that there are signs that America, alone or with England, may, in the next century, become the Rome of the modern world; may we hope not merely a Rome of law and order, but a Rome of freedom and human brotherhood also! Neither our hopes, our lears or our ef forts, however, can stay the march of events. Race peculiarities, physical tacts and environmenta will continue, as they have in the past, to impel and give direc tion to the nation ' career. These we cannot dam by protest or placate by sing ing the memories of our Arcadian days. They're All There. Knoxvile (Ten n.) Tribune.

' A little further down the slope is the crank who tried to show how close he could pass in rronc or a moving train. Iu strolling about you see the modest monument of the hired girl who started to start the fire with kerosene and a grass cover ed knoll that covers the boy who put a corn cob under a mule's tail. The tall shaft over the man who blew out the gas casts a shadow across the boy who tried to jump on the mov ing train.

The man who stood in front of a mowing machine to oil the cycle is quiet now and rests be side the careless brakeman who fed himself into a seventy-ton engine, and over in the corner of the fence in the potter's field may be seen the bleaching bone of the man who tried to whip the editor.

Federal Declaration Day was observed last Monday at Marshall, Madison , coon ty, the home of Senator Pritchard, the orators of the occasion being Locke Craig,' Esq of Asheville, and Repre sentative Richmond Pearson of the ninth congressional district. . A correspondent of the Asheville Gazette ' describes Mr. Pearson's speech as "polished and elo quent," andcontinuing, says: During his speech Mr. Peason spoke at some length of the war with Spain.' He spoke of "frightful crimes" committe d under Spanish rule in Cuba. In that island within twelve months," he said under th order of Wejler more inno cent people have starved to death than ever perished by the single word of any tyrant in the history of the world.' Con tining Mr. Pearson said: f " " ' ' !'It was natural that we should -feel a sentiment of sympathy for a neighboring people struggling for freedom, tor the same cause that inspired oar revolution ary fathers; but, after all, it seems to me that we onght to declare openly and bold ly ?the controlling motive which impelled us to take this momentous step. The real, moving and irresistible impulse in a single word was vengeance, for that black and matchless act, that crime with out a parallel and without a name which sent down into the foul waters ot Havana our stately ship and her sleeping sailors. For weeks and weeks we waited patient ly the report of our court of inquiry; at last its judgment was pronounced and that judgment confirmed by the evidence of our physical senses; then we were met by an impudent lie from the Spanish court of inquiry declaring that our ship was blown up by an accident from the inside, due probably to the negligence of the crew, while at that very time there there Btood the steel plate from the bot tom of the keel,-blown up; through the body of the ship, 34 feet from where it belonged, and four feet above the water, and there it stands today, a dumb but un- anserible witness, - proclaiming - to the whole world and to the God of heayen that the Spaniards have added the im pudence of lying to the crime of murder. Strong men in Washington still opjXsed the step but they were swept away like straws in a cyclone. A fierce feeling of vengeance was raging in every patriotic breast. Words could nt tell our grief. Money could hot measure our loss; Gold could not pay for our dead. The only compensation, the only retribution, the only expiation, the only appeasment of the desperate sorrow in the nation s heart was that the loss of our ship should mean the loss of Spanish authority; that the death of our men should mean the birth of a new republic; that Spain should be banished from the hemisphere which she had discovered and had disgraced; that her army should be driven from the fair island which it had plundered and laid wa8te;'that Spain should surrender all her colonies and possessions, in every sea on the globe in part payment of the fright ful cost of war; that .her flag of blood and gold should be torn down from the blue sky that it had polluted, and in its place should be set the bright, single star that glitters in the flag of free Cuba, the m jrning star that heralds the dawn ot of the twentieth century and announces the advent of the twentieth American republic. . "As to the ultimate outcome of this war there is no room for doubt. We have more men and better men; we haye more ships ana better snips; we nave more money and better money. Spain finds it impossible to borrow at S3 cents on the dollar while our bonds are eagerly sought at 1.22 and are now" worth 18 cents more on the dollar than they com manded four years ago, and the gold which was once running from our treas ury has been pouring in, even in these war times, so that we have a hundred mill ions more in the gold reserve than we had in 1894. Therefore, I say the issue is not doubtful. Some of the results of the war have already been accomplished The happiest of all is the absolute reun ion of our sections and the blotting out of the last vestage, the complete healing of every wound of the civil war. Another probable result,'' Mr. Pearson said, "was the building of the'Nicaraua Canal and with the accomplishment of this great work a wonderful development of our commerce and a wonderful avak ening and stirring among the sleeping peoples in the far East, and with all these great changes the spreading of the ga- pel of Anglo-Saxon civilizati n, of re spect for honest government and of rev erence for trne religion." Mr. Pearson's discussion of the war in which we are engaged derives particular significance from the fact that he is member Of the House committee on for eign affairs. His statement ' that it is : war of vengeance is of particular inter est, and we are led from this statement to infer that if the Maine had not been blown up there wo uld have been no dec laration of war.

The horrjd outrage of last Sunday af ternoon in Cabarrus county, followed by the lynching at night of the two negroes who committed it. suggests the lack of protection under which so many ol our count! y girls and women live. Many girls go unattended through woods to the public schtols; in other cases women spend the live-long day alone at hoie, attending to their household duties, while the male members of the family are at work in the fields. On Sundays, as in this Cabarrus case, a young girl is doubt less often left at home.to care for even younger members of the family. In all such cases the girl or woman is at the mercy of any lustful brute who may happen to pass along, or who, knowing the circumstances, may have deliberately planned an assault. It cannot be that male protection can always be thrown around the females, but it would be well Ut provide them, as far as practicable, with the meansot self-protection.

But I also see the myriads of starving men, women and children, ruthlessly sacrificed to feed the lust and to fill the pockets of professional plunder ers masquerading in Cuba as Spanish officers and gentlemen. Behind them I see three centuries of wanton pillage, of frightful corruption; of cruelty unsur passed in human annals.

Iowa, has introduced a bill to enable volunteer soldiers in the field to rote in congressional elections during the present year. Mr. Lacy says he te lieves the measure has been framed so as to avoid unconstitutionality. It involves a unique departure, likely to give rise to many intricate questions. Where States have failed to prescribe methods soldiers" are to vote for members of Congres in the places and manner provided. Every lawful elector may vote wherever he is stationed, provided he is enlisted and en gaged in service, or is a commissioned of ficer. These votes are to be considered as cast in the respective States, but State require ments as to registration and places of election will not apply. Any detached company, battery or regiment, serving in the military service during the war is au thorized, at the time fixed for such con gressional election, to open a poll and hold an election for representative, and the electors are to select three judges of election from among themselves, to be. if practicable, not of the same politics. Any company or detached portion of a regiment may, if necessary, open a sepa rate poll. The manner and certification of these elections are to conform substan tially to the laws of the States, and mere informalities will not invalidate the elections. . KtrilaikutktMpan, Lisa. FDVDin Absolutely Pure V)0ra& msJOJO Wtfl W,( XWIWat, As To Spies. Atlanta Constitution. There is no doubt that Spain hs many spies in the United States. One was ar rested in Washington several weeks ago and would certainly have been hanged, for the proofs against him were plain. had he not committed suicide in his cell. What makes a man spy. Within the meaning of the revised stat utes even a citizen of the country who gives information of military value to the enemy is a spy. Information of this char acter must necessarily be given secretly, as direct communication with the enemy is suspended. To secure a channel of information with the enemy is not merely an act of disloyalty, but is sufficient to fasten the charge of spying upon any person. Sec tion 1,343 if the revised statutes reads: All persons who, in time of war, . . . shall be fouud lurking or acting as spies in or about any of the . . . armies of the United States, or else where, shall be tri able by a general courtmartial or by a military commission, and shall, on con viction thereof, suffer death." The usual method ot executing spies is by hanging. It u considered a mare dis graceful method of execution than shoot ing, which is applied to deserters. There is d ubt that Spain has spies in this country, probably a great many of them, and we shall probably Bee some of these brought to the dire punishment which is provided for spies by all civilized nations. A Bis Item. Atlanta Journal. A naval engagement with modern ships and guns is an expensive luxury even if no lives are lost. The guns nsed in war ships and cruisers cost enormous sums and the greatest of them become useless after comparatively short usage. ' From the one-pounder shell up the projectiles used in our navy are expen sive and the powder is another big item. A one-pound shell costs at least $1.50 and the rapid-fire guns throw these so fast that a few minutes piles up a big cost for each gun. It costs $350 every time one of our 13 inch guns fires a service charge. The secretary of the navy in his last annual report says: "The cost of materials for a complete supply ol ammunition to once refill all the vessels of the navy, including the five unflninished battleships, would be $6, 521,988." The same report tells us that the am munition for a first class battleship costs $383,197. Such a ship would use all her ammuni tion in k two hours engagement if she fired as rapidly as she could. - The bombardment of the forts at San Juan costs several hundred thousand dol lars. When the war is over the total ex penditure for ammunition will 1 be enor mous. We should make Spain pay every cent of it. It may seem pretty hard to compel a nation to foot the bill for the powder and shot that knocked her out but it is war. own. No grind, no grist.

It is at one and the same time a university course and a career, and he who comes out of the firery ordeal with honor, though he come upon crutches, brings with him a degree no college can confer It is for you not alone to meet the requirements of the service, but to learn, as your lives pass through the crucible of honorable war, how to retrieve the mistakes of your generation, so that when you return vic tors to your homes and become citizens again, you may turn back the tide of evil counsels aud wicked passions which was beginui'ng to run to the centre of the stream, making men love money more than honor, to put' their pockets above conscience and their party above their country. -I do not doubt tle result of this war. But I should whisper into your ear the blandishments of a most misleading op timism if I should promise you that it will be all play and no work, all parade and no danger. He who thinks so should remain at . home. Don't be afraid of marching and mounting guard. Don't be afiaid of cooking your victuals, or of washing your clothes even of Wash ing yourselves, in case you happen to be camped near a running stream." Don' tbe afraid of no getting enough campaigning. Above all, do not be afraid ot foreign in tervention. If you will take care of the Spaniards, I will engage, as Prince Bis marck is older than 1 am, to take care of him, and mabe of his young master, and, incidentally, whilst you are away, to look after Kentucky, and Europe, and Asia andAlrica."

Confederate troops were, however, summoued from Charleston, S. C, and from Lee's army, and Butler was attacked near Drewry s lilufi and at Port Walthall Station, and was driven back to Bermuda Hundred. There he was hemmed ' in between James and Appomattox rivers and the Confederate lines, so that he could not move forward, nor to the right or left. He was, however, re lieved of danger when Grant came down to Richmond and from Spottylvania. Butlers unhappy position ou the narrow neck of land where Bermuda Hundred is situated led Grant to say that Butler could not have been more effectually disposed of "if he had beet; bottled np." Fact About Cuba. Exchange. Cuba is about as large as the State of Pennsylvania, containing as it does about 43,000 square miles. According to recent statistics the popu lation is 1,631,637; about 65 per cent, is negroes, although some figures give very much lower totals.

In one year, with the small area under cultivation, over 1,000,000 tons of sugar have been ex ported A large part of the country is occupied by impenetrable forests, not m re than 10 percent, of the island beingunder culti vation. The United State3 imparts from Cuba sugar, leaf tobacco, cigars, cigarettes and cheroots, molasses, fruits, nuts, iron ore. tropical wooJs and manufactures of hides and skins, chemicals, drugs and dyes. The climate is hot on the coast and, of course, more temperate above in ihe higher lands. The temperature ranges from 72 to 82 degrees. Ice sometimes forms at night after a long continuance of northern winds.but snow ii totally unknown. 1 t ; 1 Petersburg I was seriously afflicted with a cough for several years, and last fall had a mote se vere cough than ever betore. t have used many remedies without receiving much relief, and being recommended to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, bv a friend, who. knowing me to be a widow gave it to me, I tried it, and with tbe most gratitying results.

The American newsparers are wasting a good1 deal of ink in discussing the ques tion whether any of the European great powers are likely to interfere in their war with Spain, and speculating on what would be our attitude were Jthis tbe case. They may rest certaiu that no Europeans power has ever had the remotest inten tion to interfere, or has eyer dreamed of imposing terms of accommodation on one or other of the belligerents, while all or any one would be ready, if asked, to act as a medium of negotiation with a view to pe.ace. The object of modern di plomacy, when a war arises between tv great nations, is to localize it, and thu prevent its spreading. Iu the first It' -war between France and Italy, whi suited in the loss to the latter of Lo. dy, in the Austro-Qerman war, and in Ui Franco-Prussian wai-, the struggle was localized by neutrals acting on this prin ciple of non-interference.
