A SCHLEY COURT OF INQUIRY.
It has often been asked why Admiral
Bchley has not demanded a court of In
quiry to lnvestlfate the chargee made
against him. The anewer Is found In
the statement that In deciding to do
40 even now he runs counter to the ad
vice of many of his friends, these con
tending that he cannot expect fair
treatment from a court appointed by
thoee who have condemned him.
Assured that the vast majority of the
people are with him—a fact as to which
there really appears to be no doubt—
Hchley stems to have felt that he could
Ignore the taunta of his enemies (that
he wae afraid of an Investigation) and
listen to the advice of his friends. But
the furious attack of the man Maclay
brought the matter to a crlala and was
followed by the announcement that the
men In actual command at Santiago
would aak an Investigation at
hands of a navel court of Inquiry
later sue Maclay for libel.
Notwithstanding the fears expre
by many of Schley's friends, there can*
be no doubt that an official Invostlga-
lion If desirable. The fears of an un*
fair Investigation, though originally
well grounded, are now aoercely to bo
enter!allied. The truth must come out.
Publl- sentiment Is aroused, and In the
face of It tho powers that be, granting
them the disposition to do so, will not
dare to suppress, any material truth.
An Impartial and thorough investiga
tion Is what Is wanted, whosoever may
suffer. If Schley Is guilty, lot him be
disgraced, notwithstanding the fact
that he actually commanded In one of
the greatest naval victories of history.
If he be Innocent—and that he Is three-
fourths of the people feel assured—let
Ms enemies, Including the luckless and
envio'i* Kampson. be shamed by tho de
rision of all honest men.

A COWARDLY TURN ON McLAURIN.
Under the personal advice, direction
and leadership of Senator Tillman the
state executive committee of South
Carolina paused resolutions expelling
Senator McLaurin from the demo
cratic party, and calling upon him to
resign his seat In the sanate.
This means that the Junior senator
will not be allowed to run next year
In the democratic primary.
The Telegraph has not approved Sen
ator McLaurin’* course in some Im
portant. particulars, but It does not
hesitate to aay that this drastic rem
edy for the stamping out of McLaurin-
iam in South Carolina is a cowardly
and brutal mistake.
To say that no man Is a democrat
who does not indorse the Kansas City
platform Is to aay that Tillman was
not a democrat until the adoptton of
the Chicago platform In 1896, He
foamed at the mouth from every
stump In South Carolina In opposi
tion to Hampton, Butler and others
who stood on the democratic platform
in those days. He held aloft the plat
form of Ocala and trampled the demo
cratic creed under hla feet.
Tillman U a flannel-mouthed dema
gogue of the moet pronounced type,
and the pitchfork with which he would
now Impale McLaurin would have des
troyed hla own exlatence six years ago.
If some of the alleged pictures of Ad
miral Schley appearing in the papers
are put In evidence before the court
of Inquiry, we fear the result.

Accprdlng to a Melbourne correspon
dent of the London Chronicle, the moet
significant feature which the first week
in the history of the Australian na

"the marked growth of the demand for
a whits Australia." Bo opposed are
the "advanced" politicians to an Influx
of colored labor that they are "strain
ing every nerve to convince the Barton
ministry that they will allow no shilly
shallying on this subject." Saya the

The aboriginal colored population of
Australia teems to have practically dis
appeared before the advance of the
white man's civilisation. In Tasmanln,
least, the aborigines have be
came entirely extinct. It appears
that the planters have been Importing
Ksnakas to All the vacancy and would
now continue the process. Importing
Asiatics also. This Is strenuously op-
posed by the white laboring classes, to
whom It means great injustice. It seems
also to be opposed by a large and In
fluential dais of level-headed Austra
lians who are not laborers themselves.
Happy will be the Australians If they
succeed tn nipping In the bud the
‘growth of a racial problem In tholr
continent."
It Is fortunate for the states of Aus
tralia that their union was effected
In an enlightened and advanced age,
with the mistakes of other countries be
fore them as a warning, and when la
bor-saving machinery and advanced
methods have rendered the unskilled
labor of Inferior races unnecessary.
Happy would It hav* beau for the
■tates of North America If, as soon
as they were freed front the English
yoke, they had seen, as tha Australians
now see, the necessity of providing
against "the growth of a race problem
In their continent," and had not only
refused to Import more slaves but de-
tevrained to ship back to Africa those
already on the plantations.
The power to choose was then, not
now, and we of this generation can
only face the problem thrust upon vs
by our misguided ancestors and strug
gle toward its solution as b-st we may.
But the Australians are at the begin
ning, comparatively speaking, and have
the power to choose to avoid a race
probMn or to grow one. It la gratify
ing to see Indications pointing to s
wise choice and 4o know that the out
cry of a few rich planters will not be
powerful enough to stifle reason and
common sense and fasten a permanent
blight upon an entire continent.
WASHINGTON, July 26.—Conditions
i the Philippine island* as tnen
through British eyes are pictured in
a report of the British consul at Ma
nila, which ha* Just reached the treas
ury bureau of statistics. It says:
"The gigantic nature of the ta3k be
fore the United States authorities in
these Inland# 1*» probably not under
stood In the United Kingdom. The
group has an area of 114.000 square
mile (shout four-flfths of that of the
United Kingdom). The Islands are
very scattered, the extreme north and
south being about 2,000 miles apart
They are abou.t 600 In number, though
only eleven are of any sire or Im
portance.
"Tho population Is variously esti
mated at from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000.
To reduce this huge tract of land
and water to subjection the Americans
have at the time of writing some 60,-
000 troopn and a small naval, force.
The f*mallness of the latter and the
Iqck of light draught vessels make !t
very hard to watch the coasts of the
islands, and the natives being driven
from one are able to escaape to an
other and recommence operations. The
natives are in great measure badly
armed and unskilled In the use of fire
arms, but are sufficiently well led to
avoid general engagements, and con
fine themselves to attacks on the lines
of communication. At the name time
they have a system of secret agent*
all over the archipelago who manage
In varioua ways to collect funds for
their war cheat, Manila Itself, as recent
arrest* have shown, being lta beot
hunting ground.
"The configuration of the Islands is
very much In favor of the guerilla
warfare carried on by the native*
Steep volcanic ranges, large swamps
and forests, along with a deficiency
of road* all tend to make the move
ment of troops and supplies difficult
The climate, too, especially In the
rainy seamn is trying. In spite of the
above difficulties the United States
troops have made great progress.
Posts have been established all over
the Inland* from which the troops
make constant expeditions against
any considerable force of natives com
ing together In their neighborhood
with the result of a very large and
constantly Increasing total of killed
and wounded on the native side at
small cont to the American force*
Owing, however, to the fact that the
peaceful cultivation of one day can by
digging up hla weapons become * the
truculent bandit of the next, travel
ing la not encouraged. The deportation
of loading rebels to Guam, on* of the
Ladrono Inlands, and" especially f^t
the Manila contingent, who although
not actually In arms were directing
and financing operation^ has had a
lutary effect, especially ao de
portation was coupled with confisca
tion of property.
Federal party has been formed
to propagate pro-American opinions
among the natives In which the native
Judges and other official* are taking
a leading part.. Native provincial gov
ernments are In course of organisa
tion In the mere pacified districts.
Whether they will be a success or not
problematical. American schools
art being established all over the Is
land* the staff of which are brought
over from tho United States.
Prices continue high, * especially
rent. Few new houses have been
built, and the influx of American of
ficials and their families still contin
ues. The result of thin is that. the
most ordinary style *of hour* becomes
an object of keen competition, and
rents have been In many cases quad
rupled tn the T«at three year* The
average rent 6f a small house In the
suburbs suitable for four or five per
sons is now absut twenty popunds
($87) per mensem.
"There are no openings for Europeans
except with capital, the number of des
titute and unemployed Europeans and
Americans being constantly on the In
crease. There Is no difficulty In filling
up poata of any sort from the Ameri
can volunteers now being disbanded
here In large number*, many of them
being men of superior eduestion.
British Interests In th* Philippines
are much larger than currently sup
posed at home. There are about twenty
British Arms In Manila. Their Impor
tance will, perhaps, be best guaged by
fact that two out of the three
hanking establishments in th* city are
branches of well known English cor-
DUBLIN, Ga., July 26.—Late yester
day afternoon, In the superior court of
Laurens county, John Robinson was
convicted of murder and assault and
was sentenced to hang on the 23d of
August next. When asked what he
had to say why sentence of death
should not be pronounced against him.
Robinson asked the Judge to be as light
on him aa possible. Judge Hart told
him thst he could not be light on him.
The Judge was visibly affected while
pronouncing the sentence, evidently
disliking to consign a person to the
g allows.
The Jury In the case was out about
two hours. The state made a strong
case against Robinson, but owing to
the fact that there was no positive tes
timony as to the man's guilt. It was
thought that possibly a recommenda
tion to the mercy of the court would
be Incorporated In the verdict.
Robinson was charged with assault
ing and murdering a negro girl by the
name of Bertha Simmons on the 26th
of Miy last, and the state weaved such
a network of evidence around him that
escape from punishment was impoaal
ble. After committing the double crime
Robinson left for Savannah, where he
was recently captured by Policemen
Umbach and Crosby, who will now be
able to collect from the state the 3200
reward offered for the capture and con
vlctlon of Robinson by Governor Can
dler.
Robinson was defended by E. L. Ste
vens of Wrightsville. He states that
he will make a motion for a new trial
for Robinson, though he has not yet
stated what grounds he will has* his
motion upon. There has not been a
legal hanging in Laurens county in
over thirty years.
Robinson has been Identified by two
persons from Jones county as the ne
gro who killed a negro girl there about
four years ago. He cut her throat with
a knife.
Joe Coats and Charley Perry, charged
with murder, were acquitted at the
present term of the court. Perry shot
another negro In the back four times,
and It I* believed that the verdict in
hip caee was a miscarriage* of Justice.
The special from Tennllle to the ef
fect that the Bouthern r6ad had pur
chased the Wrightsville and Tennllle
received very little credence here.
Wrightsville and Tennllle officials In
Dublin denied the rumor most posi
tively. They say that such a purchase*
of course la possible but not at all
