There seems to be rather a se,Ir%-
eral demand among the newspapers
that the State House be completed.
We, too, would like the stru"ture
made one that will reflect credit on
the State, and if the money now ap-
propriated 10 the State colleges IS
used for that purpose, we shall be
in favor of its completion. Howev-
er: we are opposed to any increase in
taxes for this work, because we do
not believe the people are in good
enough financial condition to stand
it.
There is not another town in the
State of equal size and resources
that is inaugurating and carrying a
greater number of private and pub
lie enterprises than Gaffney is car
rvlng at the present time. The wa
terworks are progressing to the tune
of $4,000 the Jail is going up at
cost of $4,000; the oil mill is
absorbing $4,000 or $4,000 more ;
the Methodists and Baptists are to-
eether spending $4,000 on new
churches, and Limestone College is
putting $4,000 on improvements.
Look at these figures: In round
hunters $4,000 is moving for the
upbuilding of the town and the
common good. These are the colo
facts, but the whole country will
feel the warmth of the spirit be-
hind them.-GaffneY Ledger.
We only clip the above to show
the people of Bamberg what other
new county seats are doing, and to
impress upon them the necessity of
public improvements and private
enterprise. Every dollar invested
in Bamberg by our uloneyed men
will pay good interest, and will also
improve and benefit the property
interests of the investor, as we'll as
all other interests in which he may
be financially interested. The bus
iness men of Gaffney are spending
their money for the benefit of their
town, and it is4h;s spirit which is
rapidly making it one of the best
towns in the State. Bamberg can
do no better than to follow the ex-
ample of Gaffney.

ATLANTA'S DISGRACE.

pulpit, charged Mayor Woodward
with being drunkard and a llber-

appointed a committee to investigate
the charges, but all trouble was
saved them by the Mayor appearing
before them and acknowledging
that they were true.

Bamberg is one of the very heal
thiest places in the State. Being
Situated in the low country makes
no difference here. Malaria is al
most unknown, and consequently
there are no mosquitoes. We war
rant that there has been less fever
in Bamberg, according to popula'
tion, this year, than in any town in
the State.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1899-07-13

We want to say in all earnestness
and candor to the people of Bamberg
that if they want to help the town
they must not wait for outside as
sistance. Self-help is the best help,
and if We will 60 to work, pull to-
gether, and show to the outside
world that We who live here believe
in the town and are willing to in
vest our money here, naturally it
follows that outside capital and aid
will grayitate in our direction. "The
gods help those who help them
selves and this applies equally as
much to corporations and communi-
ties as to individuals.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1899-07-13

Bamberg wants more people, and
a hearty welcome is extended to all
good citizens who want to cast their
lot with us. There is plenty of
room for all who may come, and our
population should double itself in
the next year or so. We invite per-
sons who are looking for good
town to locate, to come and inspect
our advantages, for we feel sure
that a personal visit will result in
their coming here to live.

FRIGHTENED TEAMMATES
q Grand Stand Play for the
Administration.


The condition of the campaign in Ohio
is such that the McHannaites are bad
ly frightened. The German-Americans
of that state are not in love with i'm
perialism and still less with the evil
dences that there is no understanding"
between the McHanna authorities and
the English government. So badly is
Mr.. Mckinley scared that he had his
secretary of state, Mr.. John Hay, write
a letter to the chairman of the Ohio re-
publican committee semiofiicially de-
nying the existence of an Anglo-Ameri-
can alliance. Mr.. Hay assures this re-
publican chairman that they have moth
ing to do with England and are friendly
TO Germany. This statement must be
taken with several large grains of salt.
There may be no open treaty or alliance
as yet between England and the United
States, but the McHannaiteS and the
English jingoes are closely connected
in spirit and principles. McKinley's
administration has been a mere copy
of England's policy. 1t was for the
benefit of England and TO get American
assistance in the eastern question that
the Philippine outrage was begun. An
open door policy would enrich English
commerce. Our policy toward the Phil
ippines was identically the same as that
of England against the Beers. 1t was
conquest and robbery of weak people
that animated alike the English and Nc
Kinley traitors to liberty. But all was
done with American blood and money.
At Samoa the English caused the
trouble, because they wanted the is
lands which Germans had been Guilt
waiting since 1929. The American tool,
Chambers, openly advocated the an
neXation of the islands to England
Another English tool, Admiral kautz,
bombarded the Germans and native set
Elements for eight days, and the Nc
Kinley administration most Justify
preached war against Germany. The
course of the McHanna administration
in the Samoa trouble was Il most con-
temptible one. 1t did everything that
England wanted in that dirty and
cruel affair. American sailors and two
prominent officers were butchered un>
der the treachery and cowardly com
mand of British officers, who ran away
and forsook the Americans after put
ting them in trouble in n most stupid
| and inefficient manner. The English
| false dispatches, fostered and uncon-
| tradicted by the administration. raised
great storm of Indignation against
Germany and German-Americans were
placed in a false and unpleasant posi-
| ton.
1t is too late for Mr.. Hay to coun-
| teract the effects of the record by de
nyine in a letter to 4 political boss in
| Mr.. McKinley's own state that the
| AToHaDna administration has surren-
dered American principles and adopted
an entire British policy.-11linOis State

he would cede. the whole province OF
Louisiana, and that he wanted so, 00O, 900
of francs for it. Secrecy was to be OBJ
served. Mr. Livingston refused to offer
more than 30,O00,000 francs, and assert
ed that he had no power to treat for the
cession of the entire province
1t was supposed at that time that in
structions were issued to our ministers
that the treaty of cession by Spain 10
France included the entire province of
Louisiana and the Floridas, but ii was
found shortly afterward that it ceded
Louisiana only. If France declined to
sell, our ministers were to open nego-
tiations with Great Britain so as to
prevent France from taking possession
of the province. NJ. Barbe Morbois
marquis of Barbe Morbois), who was
then at the head of the treasury of
France, had conducted the negotiations
| with Mr.. Livingston. He had formerly
been secretary of the French legation to
the United States, and was personally
! known to Mr.. Monroe.
Mr.. Monroe arrived April IL, 1903. NJ.
Morbois, the next day, asked imme-
date action. After consultation, the
| two ministers, on behalf of the United
States, offered France $4,000, 900 francs,
with an offset in the shape of such
claims in favor of citizens of the United
States against France as should be es-
tablished, estimated at from 20, 900, 900
to $4,000, 900 francs. This was declined.
The ministers of the United States were
embarrassed by the fact that the ten
der of territory was beyond their in
structions to buy or receive. Rumors
of a large English fleet sailing for
Louisiana for the purpose of capturing
it were rife, and the English press was
| urgent in demanding such action.
Bonaparte had, no doubt, intended
| just before this period to send the
| French fleet, then at San Domingo, to
| Louisiana, to receive and hold it. Ber-
| nadotte, afterward king of Sweden
was to be the governor. The negotia-
tons were entirely secret. Spain had
not yet transferred the province to the
! possession of France. In the treaty OF
| San 1ldefonse there was provision fol-
reference to Spain in future dispose

TRUSTS WILL BE FOUGHT.
Democrats SOlidIy Aligned Against
the OppressOrs of the
People.

One thing is settled. There is 10 be
campaign against the trusts.
Indeed, if Mark Hanna is to be cred
tied, there will be two campaigns
against the trusts
With optimism exuding from every
pore land Mark Hanna's corporosity
gives ample verge for this sort of thing
the republican boss returns from Eu-
rope and alleges that democrats will
derive no advantage from making. the
trusts a political issue, for the rePuh-
licans will take an advanced and ag
gressive position in favor of the regula-
ton of these combines.
Truly the trusts are placed il an en-
barrassing position.
With the democrats solidly aligned
against them, and the republicans, ac-
corGing to Hanna, to take an ''aggres-
sive position" what will the poor trusts
do.
But, OF course, the managers of the
trusts are not alarmed at Hanna's die
tum. They know that he is talking for
buncomb.
Mckinley owes his election TO the
trusts. The trusts owe their prosperity
largely to McKin1ey's protective tariff
The two are inseparable friends
AS a political expediency the repub-
licans may fire few blank cartridges
at the trusts. As a practical experience
the trusts will suffer no molestatiOn
from the republicans
But the democrats mean business.
They believe in protecting the people,
and that is why there is to be 4 cam
paign against the trusts.-Chicago Dem

ton. NJ. MarbOis insisted upon S0,000,-
| 900 francs, which was agreed to on con-
dition that 20,000,O00 francs of the sum
should be assigned to the payment of
claims due by France to citizens of the
United States, if they should amount
to so much.
It is said that when Bonaparte gave
instructions to NJ. Marbois in regard
to the ceSsion, he stated that, from the
nature of the new combination forming
against him in Europe, he was forced
to sell the entire province, or hold it
at a great sacrifice of men and money,
| and, probably, be compelled to see it
captured. He preferred to transfer it
to the United States, adding that what
ever nation held the valley of the Mis-
sissippi would eventually be the most
powerful on earth, and that consequent
ly he preferred friendly nation should
possess it rather than an enemy of
France.
The cession was made in three sep
| arate treaties, on April so, 1903. First,
treaty of cession; next, convention
STIMULATING method, manner and time
of payment of the purchase money;
and, last, a convention providing that
| claims of citizens of the United States
against France were TO be paid ct the
United States treasury to the amount
of So, $50, 900, on orders from the minis
ter of the United States to France,
| which were to be given on the joint
Judgment or conclusion of the French
bureau to which these claims were re-
ferred, and a board of three commits
sioners on behalf of the United States
final. decision, or certificates of diff
ference of opinion, to lie in the minis
| tiers of finance of France.
Thus the subject of 'eXpansion''
came before the great men of the be-
ginning of our republic, and thus they
solved the problem. They seemed to
believe in getting what they wanted !;
and they got it. Coveteousness, av-
arice, greed and grasping on the part
OF our people may not need encourage
ment. but we can study history and
international law together, while we
smoke our pipes. And we won't make
each other angry while we argue the
subject which is uppermost on the
minds of all of our people just at this
time We will just study the history
of finances and wars, and then study
diplomacy in an enlightened manner;
and each of us will reach our conclu-
sions, as Abraham Lincoln did, with
malice towards none. and charity for

WISDOM OF MONROE.
How He Added Louisiana to Our
Domains.
His Bargain with Napoleon Bona
parse Was Great Victory for the
ExpansiOnists of Early
American Days.
Especial Washington letter.

They who have never used the scapeI
should not undertake to practice meoi-
cine. They who have never studied law
should not act as lays-giyers and Oracles
on Jurisprudence. They who have never
studied international law should not
attempt TO act as oracles for the direc-
ton of the foreign affairs of this re-
public.
These aXioms are called forth by rea-
son of the multifarious expressions of
editorial and oratorical opinion con-
corning the policies which our federal
government should pursue in our for
eign relations, our diplomatic affairs
and our increased responsibilities grow
ing out of the war with Spain.
When we have studied the history of
the finances and wars of a country we
have studied its diplomacy. Money is
necessary to back diplomacy; and
diplomacy always falls back upon the
arbitrament of war for the enforcement
of its conclusions. But diplomacy does
not cease when war begins. 1t goes on
just the same. Neutral nations at once
begin with unofficial mediation, follow
ing it with official mediation, for the
welfare of all nations.
The history of the finances and wars
of this republic gives US the history OF
the diplomacy of our country. The
precedents established will usually gov
ern primary conclusions in future di-
plomacy, but precedents can always
be broken, by the will of the majority
of our people.
Upon the public platform and in the
editorial and news columns of our news
papers we hear and read all shades OF
