WHY WAR IS IMPROBABLE.
There is Nothing to Gain by a Resort
to Arms.
New York Commercial Advertiser.
The point Is well made and sustained
with some detail of ilustratlon In a dis
cuslon of the Cuban situation, said to
have been approved by a member of
the Cabinet, that we could dbtaln no
Just reparation grom Spain by war for
the loss of the Maine, which may not be
obtained through the simple, ordinary
routine of diplomatic negotiation should
we prove her reprehensible for destruc
tion of the ship. This view Is now gen
erally now taken and the Maine inci
dent is losing the importance first given
to it. But the same principle applies
to the larger relation of thevbgkqj vbb
to the larger issue of the relations of
Cuba to Spain, and our n itional Inter
est, to which we must leturn as soon
as the question of the Maine is out of
the way. We hnve nothing to gain
either for Cuba or for ourselves by
making war on Spain, which cannot be
obtained, with patience and resolution,
in the ordinary routine of peaceful ne
gotiation. We have no desire to acquire Cuba.
There Is almost no difference of opinion
In the United States on that point.
Some of us desire to see Cuba independ
ent, but the more thoughtful, while be
lieving that u'titr.ate Independence is
inevitable, realize that the Cubans are
no more fit for it than for American
Statehood, and that the political, social
and Industrial state of the island popu
lation probably would be changed by it
without being greatly Improved. It I."
certain that we would make war on
Spain no more for the bare object of
independence of Cuba than to acquire it
for ourselves.
What then? We want to put an end
to a bloody and exhausting war, which
has injured American trade ami ruine I
American property. We want to relieve
the distressing sufferings of the Cuban
people, loyalist, insurgent and passive
alike. And we wish to see the Cubans
under autonomous government, suited
to their needs and capacity, relieved of
the burden of Spanish extravagance
end corruption and tne industrial re
straints of Spanish colonial policy, so
thMt they can exploit the fertility of
their soil and obtain products for ex
change with our own, for the mutual
advantage of both peoples. This Is the
sum and limit of what we want to do
in Cuba.
Not one of these objects would be
advanced by making war "i- Spain.
Every word would be retarded. The
war, which has worn itself out, wouid
be revived and extended. The suffer
ings of the Cubans would be inteiisilled
and our relief, which could rescue ev
ery Cuban from privation at one-hundredth
part of the cost of war. wold be
cut off. Autonomy wouid be made out
of the question and tne only result oi
victory would be the Independence or
onnexation, which prudent Americans
regard as disagreeable alternatives.
The most we could gain by war Is less
than we can reasonably hope continu
ance of negotiation on the present lines.
From the Danville Register.
THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
The unnecessary war scare of lasi
week naturally had some effect upon
stocks, especially upon those stocks
which are the footballs of speculators,
but, as a whole, the market was re
markably steady. The reason for this
steadiness is not far to seek. Business
has been steady Improving for several
months. There has been no sudden
boom, but the general return of busi
ness activity with corresponding gains
to the great transportation lines. The
report of railroad earnings shows not
only an Increase over last year, but an
Increase over the corresponding period
of 1892. There have been enormous
shipments of flour and grain to help the
trade improvement. The shipments of
flour and grain have exceeded 151,300,
000 bushels since July 1, against 114,200,
000 bushels last year, and corn ship
ments have also shown an increase
from 102,800,000 bushels last year to 116.
000)000 since July 1. The woolen mills
of the country have been doing a steady
business with wool bought at prices
lower than are now ruling, but whether
they can continue after their supplies
of raw wool have been exhausted re
mains problematical. Cotton manufac
turers have suffered from a variety of
causes, but some Improvement is noted.
. The Iron and steel Industries have been
greatly Improved, business increasing,
' notwithstanding the advance In prices.
The boot and shoe trade is also active,
the general Improvement in all of these
Important lines being reflected In pay-
- ments through the clearing houses,
which were nearly 50 per cent greater
la February, 1898, than In February of
last year and 12 per cent, greater than
In 1892 the year before the period of
depression set In. There has been con
siderable foreign demand for American
securities, which probah'y accounts for
ml it hlnrrx.nl trnm .1 s .
a part of these ahipmenta may be due
to the Increase In our exports,, which
has been considerable. The outlook, if
war ahould be averted, will be quite
favorable, for when the wheels of in
dustry get working right they keep on
moving, not as In a piece of machinery
Impelled by an outside force, but be
cause each wheel helps to drive the
others. If there are a million more men
at work in February, 1898, than in Feb
ruary, 1987, there are a million more
men who have the week's wages to
spend on Saturday night to keep other
millions employed. The small econo
mies practiced during hard times, when
men are out of work, greatly curtail
the demand for supplies, and help to
produce the dull times of which they
are the expression. On the other hand,
when there la no longer need for indi
vidual economy, money circulates free
ly and business becomes brisk. The
nation appears to be slowly but surely
getting back to normal conditions when
there will be work for all and when the
expenditures of the workers will help
to keep tne mills going. For this we
are indebted more to a restoration of
confidence in the monetary situation
than to any tariff or other legislation
oy congress.
A REMARKABLE WOMAN.
This Lady Married Thrice Before She
Was Sixteen.
The worid is full of wonderful women
nowadays, but, in the opinion of a con
tributor to the New Illustrated Maga
zine, not one of them compares to a
certain little maid who lived two cen
turies ago in Merrie England.
She held six baronies in her own right
before she was three.
She was the richest womun in the
country at the same age.
She might have become a King's
daughter-in-law when she was twelve.
She married a Duke's heir when she
was twelve.
She became a widow when she was
thirteen.
She married the richest commoner i.i
England when she was fourteen.
He was murdered in I'all Mall when
she was lifteen.
She married a Duke when she was
fifteen.
She brought thirteen children into the
world.
She was lampooned by the creator -if
'Julliver.
And died before she was fifty-six.
This marvellous woman was Lady
Elizabeth Percy, daughter of Jocellne,
eleventh Earl of Northumberland, who
tlied as the Duchess of Somerset. When
she was 2V4 years oid her father diea
she came into six of his titles; the an

say nothing of an enormous fortune
and an historic heritage, dating back

A MOST IMPORTANT CASE.
Inter-State Question Involved in Con
stitutionality or Fertilizer Tax Case.
The Fertilizer tonnage tax case.which
is being argued before Hie United
States Supreme Court this week by
North Carolina lawyers. Is one of the
most important cases on Ihe docket.
The attorneys In the ease are Col.
Johi W. Hinsdale and Mr. Thomas N.
Hill, for the fertilizer manufacturers,
and Messrs. K. H. Battle, F. H. Bus
bee and J. C. L. Harris, for the State
of North Carolina. Col. Hinsdale will
close the argument today for the com
plainants. The decision In this ease will affect
the laws of North Carolina. South Car
olina, Virginia. Georgia, Alabama, Ken
tucky and other Southern States.
In this and other States there Is what
Is known as the "Commercial Fertilizer
Tax, Imposed by the State on ferti
lizer companies selling products In
these States.
It Is claimed by the State authorities
that the tax Is Imposed merely for in
spection purposes, but the companies
claim only one-fifth of the amount col
lected Is really necessary for such In
spections. The claim Is made that no articles
shipped from one State to another can
be taxed except by the United States.
The State of North Carolina last year
collected between j:i0,000 and J 10,000 bv
this tart.
The case was argued twelve months
ago before the Supreme Court, but the
court ordered a re-argument hefnre a

A good camp meeting brother whose
religious seal knew no bounds, had
not unfamiliar habit, when praying, of
"beating the air his heavy hands
flying out and coming down in all di
rections.
During a revival meeting the brother
succeeded In getting one of the toughest
characters in town to go forward for
prayer. Then he knelt beside him and
began to pray for him, and every few
seconds, in the energy of his efforts, he
brought his hand down on the man's
bead and back.
The fellow stood It calmly for a while,
but the blows continuing to fail heavily
he got to dodging them and wobbled
out of reach on his knees.
The man who was doing the pray
ing had his eyes closed, but, missing
his man, he wobbled after him, and con
tinued to emphasize his periods on the
sinner's back.
Finally, winding up his rather long
petition for grace, he asked:
"How do you feel now, brother?"
"Plum knocked out!" was the reply.
"Ef you had anything agin' me, why
did you coax me up ter take it out o'
me? Why don't you come outside, like
a man, an' give me a fair show? You've
knocked the devil out of me you has!"
"Thank the Lord for that!" exclaim
ed the praying brother, "that's exactly
w hat I starleu out to do. Toe Lord be
praised!"
WHOLESALE ROBBERIES IN S. C.
Prominent People S .Id to be Implicated Jn
Looting Railroad Wan houses and Stores.
Columbia, 8. C. March 4. Detectives
are uncovering a gang of outlaws In
New berry county which has been oper
ating for several years.
Fully forty farmeiB, some of them the
wealthiest In that region, are Impli
cated. Seven arrests have been made.
The plunder was stolen from stores
and depots. One item was forty kegs
of giant powder. For a long time the
stores, railroad stations and cotton
houses have been robbed and railroad
stations and gin houses burned. But no
threat efforts were made to capture the
criminals.
Many citizens saw men whom they
knew driving out of town with wagon
londs of goods taken from the stores,
but feared to report them, because they
would be killed.
Southern railroads have suffered
much from the robbers, and have
threatened to cease to deliver goods In
some places.
The recent robbing and burning of
E. R. Hlpps' store was followed by the
robbery of a car load of goods.
As the immediate result of detective
work. James A. Riser and his three
married sons, John S. Hickley and
H. R Anderson and three negroes have
been committed to pall.
