The legislative commission to take charge of the appropriation for the equestrian statue to the memory of Gen. Wade Hampton, and "also of all voluntary contributions which may be committed to them," has issued an address calling upon the "men and women of South Carolina" to aid in erecting this monument at the earliest date possible. The address, after reciting the act of 1903, which has already been printed, continues: "In accordance with tho terms of this act we have been appointed by his cacellency, Governor Heyward, a commission to carry out its patri otic purpose. We had hoped that ,he excr,tlent and distinguished gen tleman appointed by the association of Confederate veterans to raise a fund for the purpose of erecting a monument to Wade Hampton would continue the task they had so earn estly and successfully begun, but since they have thought it best that both the collection of the private fund necessary to secure the public appropriation and the erection of the statute should be in our hands we heartily enter upon this labor of love, assured that we shall have the cheerful co-operation of the men and women of South Carolina and that the pious work will soon be accom plished. "Mr. Robert W. Shand, in behalf of the Hampton memorial committee, has already placed in our hands the sum of $9060.50, raised by the Hamp ton Memorial association, to which $249.10 has been added from con tributions made through Gen. Wilie dJones. The sum of $8,795.60 must therefore still be raised by subscrip tion in order to secure the appropri ation from the public treasury and to justify us in perfecting a contract for the proposed statue for which we are now preparing to secure designs and estimates. We are informed that other sums have been subscribed and we ask that they be collected and forwarded to J. Q Marshall, treasurer of the commission, at once. 1'LAN ADOPTED. "We have adopted the following plan for raising the additional amonnt: The Confederate camps in each county are requested to recom mend five suitable personis in their respective counties to be appointed. by us a county committee to collect and forward the quotas requestod from the several counties. WVe feel that this is a privilege rightly be longing to the comrades of the do ceased1 chieftain. "The sons of the veterans are urged to unite with 'heir fathers in this wvork, for in honoring Hampton they honor their parents. The Daughters of the Confederacy and the rest of the patriotic wvomen of the State wh'lo have ever been instant Iin ministering to the heroes of the Lost Cause whent living anud com memoratinig their valor whent dead, andl have.mn many ways al ready tes tified to their love~ for Wade Hamp ton, nIeed not he urgedl to make this th)e crowning effort of t heir patriot.ic devotion. "The public at large will esteem it a privilege to testify to their admira. tion for one wvho in war and peace was the embodiment of t he spirit and genius of South Carolina. A sP'LENDID TIBUTIE. "Wade Hampton's long life of more than four score years was die voted to the service of his State. In early manhood he wvas a safe c-mn selor in the general assemb)ly. WVhen South Carolina led in 5ecess10io, it mattered not that this policy was not deemed b)y him to be wise, he was among the first to draw his sabre and shed his blood(, hearing the namie and honor of his native State far in the forefront of b)attle, achieving for her and himself a reputat ion for valor that extended throughout two conti rnnts, wvherever the story of the at rug gle was told. "'In the polhtical revolti on of 18761 it was Hampton's wisdom and prm dence coupled with his determina tion that gained the victory. AF Governor of his State and as her sen ator in the balls of congress he showed himself a statesman of the highest rank. "In his declining years he was the sage offering counsel from the abund ance of his wisdom and experience. "And at the last, when he had fought the good fight and had fin ished his course, he tranquilly yield. ed up his life breathing the prayer, 'All my people, blank and white-God bless them.' "Though Wade Hampton lives in history and in the hearts of his coun trymen and needs no monument to remind them of his life and. works, they feel that they owe it to them selves to erect a noble equestrian statue in the capitol grounds so that strangers seeing it may be reminded of this son of South Carolina, who loved her with heart and soul, who would, like Leonidas, have cheer fully fallen in obedience to her laws and like Washington lived to bring order from chaos, prosperity to her industry and peace to her people." The address is signed by Senator C. S. McCall, chairman; Senator J. Q. Marshall and Represen'atives Altamont Moses, E. M. Seabrook and B. A. Morgan. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Ex-Senator Simon, of Oregon, a Republi can, Makes Astounding Charges of In.. fidelity against President. News and Courier. Ex-Senator Simon, Republican, of Oregon, makes the astounding charge in a public interview that President Roosevelt discriminated against him in matters of Oregon patronage be cause of his religion. Senator Simon declares that the only other case in which President Roosevelt interfered directly by conspiring to the defeat of a Republican was that of Senator Smoot, the newly elected Senator from Utah. He was opposed be cause of his religion. Senator Simon places his own case on a par with that of Senator Smoot, and in effect charges that because he is a Hebrew, President Roosevelt not only dis criminated against him in matters of patronage, but assisted in his de feat. Senator Simon's interview, which has been telegraphed East from Portland, has created a sensation in Washington political circles. His statement was brought out primarily by a controversy over an Oregon ap pointment. According to Senator Simon he has in writing the Presi dent's promise that he would appoint one of Senator Simon't; friends, G. A. Steel, to the land office in Oregon. The promise was not kept. The President has now announced that he will appoint A. S. Dressel, an enemy of Simon. With the merits of the particular case under consideration Washington is not much interesred. With Sena ator Simon's open charge of bad faith on the part of the President, and particularly with that portion of his interview in which he makes reference to the matter of religious faith, the politicians are, however, having much to do. "I now hold President Roosevelt's unfulfilled pledge," says Senator Simon, "I am not surprised, for I learned long since that Roosevelt's promises are like piecrust." Continuing he says: "Ever since Roosevelt succeeded to the Presidency I occupied a unique position in the Senate, I was the only Republican Senator whose rec ommendations for office were uni formly and contemptuously ignored by the President, and the only Sen ator, with the exception of Senator Smoot., against whose re-election any Republican President has ever deem ed it proper to lend aid directly or indirectly. It is true I received fair promises, yet nLot a single one has been redeemed by the President. On tbe contrary, many of my bit.terest foes have, against my earnest pro test, beena appointed to oflice, and in some instances as a reward for efforts made to prevent my return to the Senate." This much of his talk has no great significance, unless it may have a bearing on the politics of Oregon, wvhere Senator Simon is the recog nized leader of one of the strong factions in the Republican party. Further on, however, Senator Simon gives utterance to senti men ts which are, to say the least, interesting and peculiar. "It is wvelll understood that the op position of the President to Senator Smoot's election was because of his relations to the Mormon Church," says Senator Simon. "lBut why the President has bieeni unfriendly to my return to the Senate is niot at all clear- to tme, I do not wish to believe that he entertains the view t hat one of my religions faith has no place in the Senate of the United States; that a Jew has no p)art in the government of this country; yet I cannot other wise account for the treatment ac corded me. 1 (10 unot doubt that the President will vigorously dlery this, but the facts gained (during my six years in the Senate force me iunevi tably to this conrclusio[n." T1his wh olesale indictment of P're sident Roosevelt hati created a sensa tion here. This is, of course, a Repub. hican family row, for bothI men are Republicans, b'ut t here is a possibilit y of its having more than a merely local effect. Senator Simon is the first man of his faith to hold a seat in the United States Senate. The fact that he was chosen to his high olice was regarded by many members of his faith a matter of congratulation outside of Oregon as well as in that State. He is recognized as one of the foremost Hebr as of the United States, as a man of the highest in tegrity and the finest ability. His failure to be re elected by a Bepub lican Legislature he charges in part to President, Roosevelt. During the latter p1 rt of his services in the Senate he made no secret of his dis gust with the way he had boon treated and because of this he said he wa3 glad to get out of Washington life. He has been, and probably still is, a man of great influence in the Repub. lican party of Oregon. HIn has been a resident of Portland since he was 6 years old and has been particularly active in Republican politics. He was at the head of the RIpublican State committee for a number of years, was a delegate to the National Conventions of 1892 ahd 1900, served six terms in the Senate of the State of Oregon and was President of the Senate at the sessious of 1889, 1891, 1895 and 1897 and also at the special session of 1898. Ile was recognized as perhaps the most. influential mem ber of the Oregon Senate and, al though the faction with which he is allied seems now to be in the min1 ority in Oregon Republican politics, there is no question of his individual strength or of his power to do things out there. Both locally and conventionally Senator Simon is in a position to give t.rouble, and Administration poli ticians make no coucealnent of their concern over this interview of his. GENERAL NEWS NOTES.

In all the years he has been before the people of South Carelina Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman never re ceived a more enthusiastic ovatit.n than that accorded him at the Acad emy of Music last night, when he de livered the address to the graduating clas of the Medical College. The moment the curtain was lifted there was a mighty shout from the largest aulienco ever assembled in the Acad emy. Cries for "Tillman!" came from the crowded orchestra and bal cony, where men and women occu pied less space than they will when the younig doctors get through with them. They were repeated from th top of the house, where the fashiona ble element stood on tip too to hear the words of the distimguished speaker It was the first opportunity that many of the audience had had of hearing Senator Tillman make an address. Ho commented on this fact and declared that he was glad to talk to the women, for, as he laugh ingly added, if he had talked to them yours ago things might have been different in Charleston. It was his blunt, characteristic way of speaking that captured his hearers. He apolo gized for not having carefully pre pared a speech, but the women, as well as the men, were glad he fol lowed his custom. They merely wanted a Tillman talk and they got what they wanted. The lady friends of the graduates may have felt that the stalwart youngsters who are doctors this morn ing were entitled to the lion's share of applause, but they did not get it. An ordinary commencement, free a, it was, could not have drawn such a crowd. The theatre was tilled an hour before 8 o'clock. Hundreds went to the Academy expecting to get seats, but the rush was so great that they went back home. 'here was such a crowd that the walls look. ed as if they might give way before the load of human beings that press. ed against them. On the stage alone there was an audience larger than some public speakers might have drawn in Char leston. )r Francis L. Parker, dean of the faculty, with the men who have trained the young physicians for their life work, the graduates and p)rom inont citizens were preset, as invited guests, aiid they joined in the dlemlon at ration. nLECEIvEDI ANOTH'lEl ovATION.
