FINISH THE STATE HOUSE-WHEN T THE MANNING TimEs has no warrant for its intimation that the proposition to complete the State -apitol pro ceeds from Columbians and is de signed merely to add an architectural ornament to this city. The facts con tradict it, and we have taken pains to show that Columbia does not ask anything in the matter. Secretary of State Cooper of Colleton county made the suggestion, and Governor Mc Sweeney of Hampton county sec onded it. It is based first on the in jury being done to the interior of the building by moisture which cannot be excluded without a permanent roof and, second, on a creditable sen- I timent of State pride. Columbians see more of the present hideous pile than other people, but as we have said, they are more accustomed to its ugliness and do not suffer from it as much as visitors do. We want the building completed, but others will have to do the asking-we are solicit ing nothing.-Columbia State. THE MANNING TiMEs takes a narrow view of the completion of the State House. Of course Columbians desire it, but so should every patriotic citi zen of South Carolina, regardless of where be lives.-Columbia Record. The above clipped comments on our editorial remarks of last week show to our mind an utter disregard for existing conditions-a blinded desire to accomplish a purpose with out considering the ability of the people to gratify the desire. If the "State" supposes for a moment that our opposition to the completion of the State House at present emanates from a spirit of enmity towards Co lumbia it is entirely mistaken; it matters not where the proposition to create an additional tax burden came from, we are opposed to it because we think the people are taxed to the full extent of their ability to pay. Think of it. The State of South Car olina is a~s yet dependent upon the products of the soil, and when those products are decreasing in value, the ability to stand an increase of taxes also decreases. We are heavily taxed now, and as we have said before and continue to say, the people are comn pL.'ing of their tax burden; increase the tax Ar any purpose, and their complaints will become louder. Our taxes now amount to about 2 per cent, and when insurance is added, 5 per cent. is nearer the mark, a figure to discourage business ventures. If our law makers can find a way to complete the State House without piling on an increased levy, every cit izen in the State will not only ac quiesce, but will be proud of the achievement. The Uapitol building belongs to the people and it should be a structure inviting in appearance as well as safe for records and com fortable for its occupants. As far as we know there is no opposition from any source to the completion of this long neglected work, but there will be opposition to raising the levy for that purpose. The State's presum ing the proposition being suggested by Secretary of State Cooper and seconded by Governor McSweeney makes i2 more popular than if it originated with itself, is a mistake, nor do we think the State does itself justice when it says, "we want the building completed, but others will have to do the asking-we are solicit ing nothing." It has a right to so licit anything which in its judgment is for the benefit of Columbia and the State of South Carolina generally; the work it has been doing for Co lumbia is admired by all who have the good fortune to read its editorial columns. A newspaper that has over come so many obstacles and has van quished so many enemies, merits the right to "solicit," and assuming an independent indifference should not creep into its make-up. Columbia is now on a wave of pros perity, and the "State" did much to bring about such a happy condition. We all rejoice in her good fortune, and we have often expressed our con fidence in the "future commercial ard manufacturing centre of the South," and when we said we "are perfectly willing that the city of Columbia have a modernly finished public buil ding as one of the attractions to aid her in the progressive move she is making." We meant every word of it, and as soon as our financial condition permitted the outlay of about a quar ter of a million dollars, we know of no expenditure more to be desired but as long as the taxpayers with ag ricultural products as the only source from which to raise money to pay taxes are forced to sell their products at present depressed prices, and buy their manufactured needs at advanc ing prices, they will not willingly yield to an imposition of more taxes. When we enter the arena and take a hand iL the discussion of a question which involves the expenditure of a large sum of the people's money. We do so not in a spirit of enmity to wards Columbia as the State inti mates, nor with a narrow and selfish view, as the Record would have it, but with a sincere realization of ex isting conditions. Those writers who are so anxious to spend from a quarter to a half million dollars of the people's money in these days of 5-cent cotton are blinded by the glitter of their pros perous surroundings-factories and railroads, which are controlled by gigantic trusts and combinations, capitalized with European and North ern money. They feel rich and do not realize the condition of their farmer cousins who have no source of income but what can be derived from pulling a bell line over a mule. The farmers, who pay the greater portion of the taxes, cannot form trusts to force prices up and they cannot afford to go down into their jeans to spend money %s freely as their trust and combination-backed brethren who have fortune in a sling and can twirl it at their will. The manufacturers, railroads and other corporations may be wihing to go their share of a quarter to a half mil lion dollars to complete the State House whether the same is an abso lute necessity cr not, but the farmer cannot afford anything beyond dire necessities and prefers waiting until fortune smiles a little his way. We venture the opinion that not a a man holding a State office will go before the people advocating an in creased tax to finish the State House, nor will a candidate for the Legislat ure advocating such a scheme be elected outside of the manufacturing districts. We approve of all pro gressive movements, and will en dorse any scheme wbich will bring money into our State and give em ployment to our people,even if money has to be appropriated for the pur pose. In doing so we expect a re turn, but in voting to increase the already heavy tax to improve a build ing which answers the purpose for which it is used, in our present con dition we regard extravagance. The Columbia State saying "others will have to do the asking-we are soliciting nothing" reminids us of a little boy whose mother had forbid den him to beg for fruit when he went to the store. The boy went into the store, and while casting wistful glances at a bunch cf ripe bananas, was thinking of the promised licking if he begged; after looking at the fruit awhile, his mouth watering, he broke the silence by saying to the store keeper "if you was to give me one of those bananas, which I want so bad, that wourd not be me asking for it, would it? Surely the State is not afraid of being licked for asking for the modest little sum of a quarter of a million dollars, in these hard times to finish the State house, No its independence forbids it soliciting anything, since wealth is rolling over the city of Columbia. The State has no poor kin now. EXGOVERNOR RICHIARDSON DEAlD. In the death of ex-Governor John Peter Richardson, which took place in Columbia last Wednesday night. South Carolina lost a devoted citizen, and Clarendon a distinguished son. Governor Richardson had many per sonal friends which he was to them by his pleasing manners. John Peter Richardson was the great-grandson of G.en. Richard Rich ardson 'who moved to South Carolina from Virginia in colonial times, and settled upon lands in Clarendon county on the Santee river. During a life of remarkable enterprise and industry he acquired an immense es tate. He was a commander of the forces in the "snow campaign" just prior to the revolution and possessed almost unbounded influence in the State. Though over 80 years of age, he was arrested, cruelly treated by Tarleton, and was released from prison ship just in time to reach home to die. General Richardson's eldest son, James Burchell Richardson, 'was elected Governor in 1840. The lat ter's son was, while in Congress in 1840, elected Governor, and in 1886 the third name in direct descent was elected to the gubernatorial chair. This was John Peter Richardson. Two other descendants of General Richardson held the same high of fice-Gov. Richard I. Manning and his son, Gov. John L. Manning. Gov. James B. Richardson, grandfather of John Peter Richardson, was leader in the organization of the South Car olina college. John Peter Richardson, the wor thy son of a family of Governors, spent his boyhood days in Clarendon county. In so isolated a country neighborhood there were no proper educational facilities and received his early tutelage under Leslie Mc Candless, a renowned educator. He entered the South Carolina college when that institution was in the ze nith of its reputation and usefulness under the illustrious William Pres ton, and in 1849 graduated third in his class. Among his classmates were Judge Charles H. Simonton, Judge W. H. Wallace, Gen. James Connor, Maj. Theodore G. Barker, Maj. W. K. Leitner, Capt. George Cuthbert, Col. Thomas Glover, the Rev. T. E. Wannamaker and others who in after life distinguished them selves. Governor Richardson's political ca reer began in 1856 when he repre Isented Clarendon in the Legislature. the stirring times from '56 to '60. .ls father was a member of the constitu tional convention. In 1862 he joined the army of the West, acting on the staff of General James Cantey. first as brigade and afterward as division adjutant gen eral. He served through the entire campaign between Sherman and Johnson from Tennessee to Atlanta, enduring all the dangers, privations and hardships of that campaign, and continued in service until the sur render. After the war, his ample fortune gone, he devoted himself to the he reditary occupation of agriculture. One of his biographers states: "Few, even among Governor Richardson's intimate friends, knew of the labors and privations which he for years assumed and endured with steady cheerfulness, living in a cabin and working with a hoe in the fields." In 1865 his public services were again called into requisition, and he was a member of the convention called by President Johnson to frame a provisional government for the State. He was a member of the Leg islature provided for in that consti tutional convention, and continued to represent his county until the military rule was inaugurated by the national government. During the dark days he was act ive as an unflinching and enthusias tic Democrat in organizing, manag ing and leading the apparently hope less attempt to stem the flood of in famy and misrule which followed the reconstruction. In 1876 he was defeated by the Re publican nominee for the House by a small majority. When Clarendon was re'laimed in 1878 he was elected to the House and in 1880 was elected State Treasurer without opposition. In 1882 and 1884 he was unanimously re-elected. In the Democratic State conven tion of 1886 he received the nomina tion for Governor. He was elected without opposition, and after an able administration was re-elected in 1888. Governor Richardson was in office at the time the factional fight led by Senator Tillman came on, and Tillman succeeded him as Governor. Since then the ex-Governor alter nately passed his time on his farm in Clarendon county and in Columbia. He spent the greater portion of his ime in Columbia, where he and his wife could receive that medical at tention required in their declining years. They were a devoted couple. Though Governor Richardson lived in retirement for the last eight years of his life he never lost interest in the affairs of his State which he loved. The funeral took place in Camden on Friday afternoon. President McKinley has appointed ex-Lieutenant Colonel Henry T. Thompson of Darlington a captain in the United States army and it is ex pected that Captain Thomson will soon be off for the Philppines. The Greenville News has been out of touch with the Demo cratic party so long, that it has forgotten who were the candidates nominated by the last Democratic convention, and in its last Sunday's issue it gives its readers news unheard of before. Ac cording to our Greenville contempo rary, .Geporge Fred Williams was the democracy's candidate for vice presi dent and not Arthur Sewall. Editor Williams is in New York where he does'nt have to sign his name when he wants a thirst quencher. The tale of woe that comes from Manila is appalling, our soldiers suf fering from climatic conditions and since the rainy season has set in the rivers have become swollen, and on the lines in front of Manila, the boss in blue sleep on piled ul. boxes to get out of the water. There is great discomfort among our forces and no fighting going on; the Filipinos are content to wait for the climate to do what their bullets connot do fast enough-kill out the invaders by the slow process of malarial fevers. Some of Senator McLaurin's ene mies are making many far fetched efforts to bring about a rupture be tween Senator Tillnman and himself. The latest is an alleged sneer from Tillman published on our first page headed "Tiliman and McLaurin.' Time will tell the tale, whether or not McLaurin made a mistake in voting for the peace treaty, even if he was opposed to it at one time. When the time comes to give an an account of his stewardship to his constituents, he will go before them and render his account regardless of the sneers, of jealous-hearted and narrow-minded politicians. Charleston has been troubled of lte by the finding of dead white in fants on her water front. No clue to the parentage of these cast-aways has been found, nor is their any likelihood of ever finding out who the heartless mothers are that, to hide their shame, have added murder to their guilty souls. Suppose the "two negroes' who so my steriously killed Thomas Pickney be interviewed, they may probably throw some light on the mystery, and should that fail, get Secretary of War Alger, to institute a court of inquiry to examine the of icers of the regiments which captur ed Charleston's social centers; per haps if the truth can be squeezed out, the finger of suspicion will not point at the middle or lower classes, wvhere the glitter of brass buttons and shou der straps was seldom seeni. Ex-(overnor Hogg played the broucho g.une on Tausmauy at its fourth of July celebration. Thbe leaders of that great political organi ztofixe tit' 4th to launch a boom for Van WVyck, to prevent Bryan get ting the Itnmination in the next nat ional convention, the game of the ati-Bryau forces is to have a numn her of candidates before the conveu tion, sufficient to prevent Bry an hav ing a two-thbirds majority as is requir ed by the rules, create a dead lock and either break up without a nomi nee or select an anti-silver candidate. TM Hogg of Tema lasoed that boom. let, and punched a. hole in it big enough for a prairie full of stampeded Texas steers to go through, and then had a good laughi as he watched Tam many's leaders grin the grin of the little bov he calf ran over. WhEn iiogg stood up before Tam many and paid an eloquent tribute to William Jennings Bryan, and pro claimed him to be the next Demo cratic nominee for the presidency it hit the "tiger" keepers like a "north er," but the effect of the Texan's ut terances set the prairie afire, and it with continue to burn until the great Nebraskan has led] lis party through another battle.

Washmnxton Letter. (From onr Regular Correspondent.) Washington, July 7.-It seems that Mr. McKinley is going into the busi ness of Senator-making, notwith standing the ill-fortune of other Pres idents who have engaged therein. Assistant Secretary of War Meikle job is the ad ministration candidate for ;enator Thurston's seat, he hav ing stated his intention to retire March 3rd, 1901, when his term will expire. Of all branches of this ad ministration the War Department is the worst from which a candidate for anything could be taken, and the Demiocrats of Nebraska, who already had excellent chances for electing a :najority of the next Legislature, and Thurston's successor, ought to, and doubtless will, thank Mr. McKinley for making their task easier by back ing the Assistant Secretary of War as the admiinistration candidate for the Senate. The latest gossip in Washington has it that the Alger-Pingree mix-up is the personal work of Mr. McKin ley, and that the enti:e influence of the administration is to be used to hell) Alger defeat Senator McMillan, provided, of course, that the Repub licans can elect a inajority of the next Michigan Legislature-a very im portant proviso, by the way. In view of what Alger has done to discredit the administration, this seems to be an astonishing sort of a deal, but those who have closely followed the Hannt-MlcKi1ney political deals from the spring of '96 to the present time find it difficult to be astonished at anything. According to this story, which nmay or may not be true, Al ger has succeeded in convincing Mr. McKinley that all -of the attacks on Algerism have been in reality attacks on the entire administration, and that unless Alger can be vindicated by an election to the Senate all these charges will be placed against the McKinley administration by history. It is plain that the support of Alger by the McKinley administration will be an act of treachery to Senators McMillan and Burrows, both of whom have been steadfast administration men, buit treachery to friends has long been a Hannta specialty, and ad ministration Senators will not be as badly needed during the remainder of Mr. McKinley's term as they were when the Republicans were short of a majority in the Senate. Democrats are citing the case with which ex-Governor Hogg of Texas converted the Tam many Fourth of July meeting, which it had been gen erally understood was to ignore Col. Bryan, if not directly autagonize him, into a wildly enthusiastic Bryan gath ering as an evidence of the wonderful hold that Cal. Bryan has upon the rank and file o'f the Democratic party -the men who cast the votes, but do not attempt to engage in candidate making. That meeting may prove a valuable object lesson to those who now imagine the possibility of pre venting the national convention regis tering the wvill of the Democratic party at large. A New Mexican who attended the recent Rough Riders' reunion in that Territory has let a brand newv Roose velt cat out of the bag. He says that Governor "T'eddy" told his old comn rades that a brigade of Rough Riders would be enlisted for the Philippines at once, and that he could command it if he decided it advisable to resigni the Governorship of New York to take it. Nobody in Washington had heard a word of all this until the ar rival of the gentlemen from New MIexico. It may be merely a product of the "silly season," or it may he true, but if Governor Roosevelt is willing to resign his present exalted position to go to tbe Philippines he will surprise those who give him credit for knowing how to hold on to a good thing when he has it. There is a hitch somewhere in the program arranged for the giving out of concessions for various sorts of franchises in Porto Rico, and it was this week semi-officially announced that the WVar Department would probably not grant any concessions on the island in advance of Congres sional action.

In fact it is understood that the Insular Commission, which ended its official life with the close of the last fiscal year, has been re-habilitated by Mr. McKinley for the express purpose of preparing a code of laws for Porto Rico. If the administration assumes the right to make laws for Porto Rico it will bardly leave the grantiu of concessions to Congress, especially when men to whom it is under politi cal obligations are after those con cessions. It has been officially announced that all of the new volunteer officers above the rank of captain are to be taken from the regular army; that one captain and one first lieutenant are to be appointed from the volun teers from each State, and all the sec ond lieutenants from the volunteers at large.
