THE ISLANDS IN POLITICS.

The in1imation is made that the National
Democratic Convention this year will include
delegates from the insular possessions of the
United States. Porto Rico, Guam and the
Philippines will be invited to send their rep
resentauves 10 help the Democrats of New
York and Illinois and the rest of this Union in
selecting a candidate for the Presidency of the
United States. Whether Cuba too in a spirit of
prophetic anticipation will be included in the
call is not made known The objects apparently
are 10 gain for the Democratic Convention the
prestige of being the first thus to receive nsular
delegates, TO emphasize the Democratic doctrine
that the Constitution. propriO vigore. follows
the flag, and above all. To ingra tate the Demo
cratic party with the prospective voters of the
Islands. That the constituents of these insular
delegates can have no votes Cor the candidate
OF their choice does not matter. Or, rather it
Will matter in the artificial vamping up of
grievance and an issue For nothing could be
more logical. after such a performance. than
that the Democratic party should raise de-
mand for the immediate admission of Guam
and Palawan sovereign States of this Union,
on the ground of its being an injustice to deny
their inhabitants the right to vote for candi-
dates their representatives assisted in choosing,
This rumor of insular delegates is quite cred
ible bat we shall continue to hope ii will prove
untrue. We hope so for the credit of the Nation,
and even for what credit is left TO a party which
once produced broad minded and far seeing
statesmen. For imagine few things
more discredital&e and Immediately mischiev-
ous than such course as that which is limited
at ANY movement toward stampeding insuar
and essentially alien possessions into this Union.

States. is characterized mildly enough for all
charity when il is called either madness or
crime. And any expression of organized opin-

Convention should mark that convention as a

Saturday there started out from Flagstaff party of scientific men known on both sides of the Atlantic and whose names are familiar in the worlds greatest universities, on trip of perilous enterprise up the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. The party comprises Prof. ". NJ. Davis of liar yard, head professor of geology; Prof. R. E. Dodge of Columbia, professor of physiography; Dr. Ii. E.

The plans and specifications for the magnificent new hotel, which the Cop per Queen company proposes to erect in Blsbee, have been received from the company's architects, Messrs.

The building will be one of the most complete ana best arranged hotels in the west and it will be substantially built of brick and cement and the draw ing shows a handsome structure of the mission style, most artistic in concep. tion and complete in detail.

SOUTH CAROLINA CAPITOL
The Battle Scared State House to
 be Completed.

South Carolina is about to complete a pubic building begun two genera tions ago, says correspondent of the New York World. The change in ar chitecture and in the wealth of the country is demonstrated by the fact that when this building was designed by John R. Niernsee of Baltimore, it was to be the handsomest and most costly capitol of any state in the union.
 On the western end this great gran ite structure carries the marks of war and battle that will never be effaced, and is probably the only state house in the country bearing the imprint of cannon shot. Those will show to fu- ture generations the kind of pOpguns used in the bloody civil war. When 1 Gen. Sherman's artillery reached the l hills of Lexington, on the opposite side of the Congaree from Columbia, and just two miles from the state house, l that great white structure presented a
 target that must have been tempting, . for several guns were brought to bear and the shooting was accurate. The building was hit ten times, four of the
 shells passing through the windows and striking on the interior, while six hIJ on the outside. But the walls are
 from four to SIX feet thick, of granite
 almost too hard to work, and, except ?. for smashing the balusters at one of
 the windows, no damage was done.
 The shells just dug out about an inch
 of the granite and must have left par
 ticles ofiron imbedded, as the marks
 are made more prominent by the ap- peaIance of iron rust on the white sur
 face.
 Stored in the state house yard was
 an immense quantity of sculptured
 Italian and Tennessee marble and
 South Carolina granite, as well as a
 quantity of blocks in the rough. These
 blocks are still Tn the yard, and will be used in the completion. How they , were hauled three miles from "Granby quarry, on the Congaree is puzzling
 to engineers now. It is said that sixty i oxen furnished the motive power, but there is no description of the kind of
 cart that bore the weight All the , finer materials for decoration were de , stroyed, including small original and 9 colossal models, statutes and original Q basso.relievo likenesses of IIayne and Q McDuflie and the latest and best bust s of Calhoun, Architect Niernsee ir |. 1865 put the loss by fire and vandalism 9 at $500, 900.
 T Fourteen years ago work was begur on the completion of the state house : it having been made temporarily q habitable after the close of the civi s war About quarter of million 0 was then spent, but the "Reformers'
 stopped the work to completion. De ] signs have been accepted and worl A will begin in a few weeks. Much o , the material in stone and marble tha l. has been lying on the ground in tn t state house yard for fifty years will b F.. used as 1t was originally intended.
 Nothing is to be done on the yves
 side. so the shell marks will not be rt
 moved.
