Columbia S. c., March 15.-The State
Capitol Of South Carolina is to be COM
pleted. The General Assembly recently
authorized the Sinking Fund Commits
sion to lend 5000, 900 for the completion
Of the building. The commission ap-
pointed to complete the work met to-
day and decided to go ahead at once.
Plans and specifications will be called
for.
The Sinking Fund Commission ar
gued that it could not lend this money
TO the State, as 1T was q trust com
mission. The Attorney General has de-
clded that the Sinking Fund Commits
sion Is merely ministerial, and must
carry out the instructions OF the Gen
eral Assembly. The State will refund
the money at the rate of SIS, 900 a year.

The Herald's argument is all right,

not the founders ofNermont. 8 bur the
constitutional convention of 1870 which

amendment to which the Herald objects.

Exit Haskins told the farmers at
Brattleboro some truth when he said,
in effect, that the farmers always con-
troll in the Vermont legislature, and if
they don't get what they want it is
their own fault. Some of his hearers
drew the inference that Kit" hasn't a
very high opinion OF the farmer as a
legislator, which may or may not have
been justified by his remarks, but
which may have a reflex action on his
Congressional aspirations.
