LIYEEMON, Recently The Commomwealh made reference to the many mistakes made by the late Legislature, and observed that there must have been consider able carelessness in enrolling bills, &c. The Statesville Landmark offers the j following reasonable explanation, and we agree that such ought not to be : 'The Landmark is of the opinion that the gross negligence is due to the custom of selecting legislative em ployes clerks, etc. with reference to their political influence - rather than with regard to their fitnesss for the positions in which they' are placed. This is a custom that ought to be changed." Jules Verne's book "Around the World in Eighty Days" represented one Phi leas Fogg to have made it in 1S73 on a bet of iS100,U00. Of course it was said to be impossible then, but locomotion and things generally have r. changed the Virginian-Pilot re- o ' t mams : "Soon we shall have 'Excursions Around the World in Thirty Days.'

BY G. GR0SVEN0R DAWE. Written for The Commonweatlth. There are already indications that an attempt will be made between now and next summer to exalt the subject of Epansion into the ranks of a Nation al political issue. It may well be re regarded in such a light ; for even granting the diplomatic necessities that brought to pass our territorial expan sion within the past year, it neverthe- ess remains a fact that the creation of dependencies is a remarkable departure from past standards. Before, however, the. presidential stew pot commences to simmer there are a number of questnons that ought to be so clearly recognized by the general public as haying no bearing upon the main question of expansion that it may be well to refer at least to one of them It is being said in print and in speech that the Filipinos are fighting for ex actiy the same thing as our forefathers, and that therefore there is nothing to be done except to act on precedents of the past and back out of the Pbillipines just as the Britisn backed out of Amer ica. For what did our forefathers contend ? For that which they were well able to carry on self-government. What else did they regard as their inalienable rights? Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And in order to secure their point, what declaration did they to prepare' a declaration of indepen dence as broad as that oi Thomas Jef ferson or to devise and live under a constitution as elastic and as enduring as that of the United States. Besides all this, with their own natural antag onisms and ignorant antipathies arising from their imperfect idea of social re lations, the greatest hope for them of either life or a shadow of liberty or a glint ot happiness, is to be found in their remaining under the schoolmas- tership of a strong and steady hand during the years of their political minority. Even those of us who are most opposed to America's assuming the tremendous burden of dependen cies thousands of miles: away from our coast line, must concede this; that when it comes to a question of the form of government under which the Filipi nos can obtain the most satisfactory results, we dare not say Spanish nor German, nor Japanese (the latter being too untried) ; even though it is a re public, do teel iree to say French and certainly we should protest against Chinese ownership as having in it only political corruption ot the worst kind. Narrowed therefore down to its limits this fact remains that, whether expe dient or not expedient, the government as surrendered by Spain and affecting eight million individuals, unable to look after themselves, so far as we can understand, and unready for full politi cal power, must either be carried on by ourselves or by the English. The mere fact that forty thousand insurgents more or less are fighting for what we, in certain phases of sentiment, call liberty, has nothing whatever to do with the main question, nor would it justify us in leaving 7,700,000 to an archy and self-destruction. YOUR LITERATURE. It is All-Important for Youth. MUCH DEPENDS ON IT. A Fifty Dollar Button, Gastonia Gazette. Mr. Thomas White has it and he has had it 48 years. The otherday he read in the Boston Mill and Shop that a citizen of Bristol, Pa., had one ot the buttons worn by Washington's eer yants. It contained a monogram of the letters G. W. in the center ani around this were the words "Long Live the President." Mr. White knew at once that this was like the button he had been keeping for 48 years. The item further stated that there were oi ly three of these buttons known to be of physical life.
