"Unquestionably the decision OF the
court sustains the contentious, theories
and policy adopted by the administra-
ton In conducting the affairs Of the
Spanish islands since the ratification of
the Paris treaty. The unfolding Of
the Foraker act signifies that Congress
has the power TO leglslate without be-
ing limited by the provisional conting-
encies Of the constitution. For IN
stance. the constitutional provision set
ting forth that uniform duties must be
collected does not apply to the Islands,
The general result Of the decision Is
certainly very gratifying
"Of course there will be some little
embarrassment caused by the holding
that no duties can be collected except
by congressional legislation but 1t viii
be only temporary embarrassment"
MIR. GRIGGS CALLS 1T A GREAT
VICTORY.
New York. May 2S.-Former Atty.
Gen. Griggs, in an interview on the
Supreme Court Porto Rican decision
said
1T is a splendid victory for the ad-
ministrat0n on the vital principle OF
expansion 1t Is unnecessary for me
to say l am thoroughly satisfied with
the result. II is a clear-cut victory
for the government on the only really
important point involved. Three dis
tinct classes Of action were involved,
one protesting against the collection
of tariff upon imports from Porto Rico
after the date Of our armed occupancy
of the islands and before the date Of
the ratification Of the treaty Of peace;
another protesting against tariff
charges on imports between the ratii-
cation and the passage Of the Foraker
act, and third attacking the Foraker
law as unconstitutional.
THE decision scores a victory for
the administration in the first Of these
classes and upon the all.important
third.
THE anti-adminlstraton party wins
in the second class That triumph
is o mere matter of dollars and cents.
Importers will get back the money paid

the passage OF the Foraker act I'M
poYters who paid without protesting
will not get their money back,
"The court decides that the Foraker
act Is constitutional, that this country

possessions as territories, to make
special laws for them and 10 tax their

ton OF the administration from the

The Question of Inviting the Veterans to
Meet in Sumter Next Year.

Mr.. Editor The reunion of the
Confederate Veterans of South Caro-
lima for 1901, is now an event of the
past. There was extended to the con-
vention no invitation for 1902, and in
consequence the selection OF a place
for next meeting is left to the discre-
ton of the Commanding General of
the South Carolina Division, Gen.
c.. Irwin Walker.
Now Mr.. Editor, Sumter in one
sense might be considered to have
done her duty in extending an invita-
tion last year to this body for the
meeting in 1901. But does this natu-
rally follow In few more years
there will be no old confederates to
whom we may do honor. Hence ifEwe
would honor them and through them
the cause for which they contended
from 81 to '65, it must be done soon.
Columbia has responded most nobly
to the call made upon her, nobly did
say Yes and in manner that no
other city in South Carolina is able
to do, except perhaps Charleston.
Now sir, Sumter in size) is neither
Charleston nor Columbia and may not
be able to do quite as we'll as Colum-
bia has done. But with a steady pull
and pull altogether Sumter can
entertain the veterans all the same.
The only question now is are we will

HOUSE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Queer Antics of the Electric Fluid at St.
Charles.

The family of Mr.. John W. Mont
gomery, of st. Charles, had an ex-
perience Monday afternoon that no
one would care to undergo. During
thunder storm the house was struck
by lightning and every member of the
family was severely shocked, though
none were seriously injured.
The bolt struck the roof, near a
chimney, scattering the shingles in all
directions. The weatherboarding on
one end and side was torn off and scat
tered over the yard and part of the
plastering in one room was knocked
down. The only thing in the room
that was injured was a double-barrel
shotgun, which was leaning in one
corner. This was split from muzzle to
stock, one barrel falling in one direc-
tion the other in the opposite. After
tearing off the Notwithstanding the
electric current jumped from the house
to a pump on the back piazza and did
no more damage.
Mr. Montgomery says he knows the
lighting never stopped till it got to
the bottom of the pump, for it stirred
up things at the bottom so thoroughly
that the water has been red ever
