American selling. Money was quoted on the
call in New York as high as II per cent,

GENERAL WADE HAMPTON.


The DEATH Of General Wade Hamp-
ton removes another of the historic
figures Of the war of the rebellion. In
recent years General Hampton mad not
been prominently before the public.
The ca7rent that directed his life so
long through turbulent waters, finally
bore him TO a peaceful haven, and in
the evening Of his day he had lived on
the recoHectons of a past the world
has half forgotten. Hampton was one
Of the last Of the confederate lieutenant
generals.
From the very foundation OF South
Carolina the name Of Hampton has
been one to cou9ure with. The general
was born in 1918, and from his earliest
youth every advantage that high breed
ing, education and talents could give
was mis-. And he wore the Hampton
mantle manfully. Drawer than most of
his neighbors, he was never a cham
pion Of the system of slavery. He was
but a youth when he made a speech
against the reopening Of the slave
trade that was described by the New
York Tribune as "a masterpiece of
logic, directed by the noblest senti-
ments Of the Christian and patriot"
When the war broke out General
Hampton believed that his duty was to
his state. BY virtue OF his birth and
his ability he might justly have claimed
a commission in the confederate army.
but he chose to enlist as a private.
subsequently, however, he raised
'Hampton's legion" which he COM
manded throughout the war. General
Hampton Was one of the south's most
gallant fighters. For conspicuous
bravery he was promoted again and
again, until he attained the rank Of
lieutenant general.
After the war he was brave enough
TO accept defeat gracefully, and to do
All in his yswer to make the hest OF
circumstances. One Of his utterauces
on the slave question viii long be re-
ruembered. He said, speaking OF the
negro in 1858: "As a slave, he was
faithful to US; as a free man, let US
treat him as a friend" In 1876 Cen
eral Hampton was elected governor of
South Carolina. and in 1878 he was sent
10 the senate, where he added new ius-
ter TO his reputation.

IeLEsIAs TO BE FREED.

4 LTHOUGH IT IS DIFFICULT to
\ forecast with any accuracy the de-
cision of a court, the dispatches from
Porto Rico indicate that the supreme
tribunal OF that territory wiz give san
tiago Iglesias his liberty. The Iglesias
case was one Of the most remarkable
that has ever been brought 10 the at
tention of the American people. The
defendant was and is labor leader.
When the merchants Of Porto Rico, in
order to do business profitably under
American rule, raised the prices of
their wares to an exorbitant figure,
Iglesias organized some labor unions.
He was so dun that he couldn't see
why the wOTkingmeR should be re-
quired to labor for the same old Span
ish wages and still be required to pay
an average Of nearly twice as much for
the necessaries Of life. After the unions
were organized they demanded an in
crease Of pay to correspond with the
increase of prices. To the average cit
izen Of the United States this seems
an eminently fair proposition. The
Porto Rican government couldn't see
it that way.
Iglesias was promptly arrested on a
charge of "conspiring to raise the
price of labor" Under the Spanish
law, although the island was at the
time in charge of an American gov
ernor, IgIesias was convicted and sem
fenced to serve a term in jail. The
combination of merchants constituting
a conspiracy to raise the price Of
goods was not molested in any way.
The trial attracted considerable atten-
ton and was the subject of much
comment. The defendant was sen
fenced last December and his appeal
has since been pending.
In all Justice, the supreme court of
Porto Rico should reverse the findings
Of the lower court. If ever a man act
ed strictly within his rights Iglesias
did. There is nothing to show that he
was a malicious disburber Of industrial
conditions. No evidence that his char
acter was bad was introduced. On the
contrary, he demonstrated that he was
a laboring man of more than the aver
age intelligence who honestly sought
to better his own condition and the
condition of his fellow workers.
This was the only Offeuse proved
against him and on this he was con-
victed. That may be Spanish law, but
if it is, it has no place on the Porto
Rican statute books under the stars
and stripes. This country recognizes
the right Of the workers to organize
for their own protection and honors
them for it. The same principle should
apply in Porto Rico. The United
states cannot afford to have it other
wise.

AmuSemeHts.

It is doubtful whether any actor Of
late has Iabored under such disadvan-
tages as Daniel Frawley has had to
contend with during the last week, but
the way the genial actor manager has
come up smiling every time proves him
TO be Of the right caliber. Sickness and
other things have tended to change the
makeup Of the cast several times, but
fortunately for Frawley, he has been
able to fill all vacancies acceptably.
For the production of Brother Off
GERS" at the Theatre last night, Her
bert Ashton was handed the part of
Lieutenant Pleydel at II o'clock in the
morning, and was letter perfect at
night. While exhibiting signs Of IN
familiarity with the part at times, he
did remarkably well.
Brother Officers one of Henry Mil
ler's successes, is a play in which
there are opportunities for more than
one person, and, as given by the Fraw-
ley company, no chances are over
looked. The part of Lieutenant Kinds
'fts" Frawley to a dot, and in the
first act. wherein he is seen as the
newly promoted officer of the First
Lancers, fresh from the ranks, uncom-
Portable and out of place, he shows
himself to good advantage, bringing
out all the comedy there is in the char
acter, and much Of pathOs.
Miss Van Buren, as the Baroness Roy
den is a charming and finished actress,
and is surely making a place for her
self in the hearts of local playgOers.
Phosa McAllister and Blanche Douglas
are well cast as Lady Margaret PleydeI
and Kate Johnson. H. s. Duffield made
a handsome osd Colonel Stapleton. a
martinez as a soldier, but a gallant
with the ladies.
j. K. Amory gave further evidence of
his versatility in his portrayal of the
Dean Of Dorchester, a very clever piece
Of work. and Wallace Shaw was prop
erly repulsive as Robert Hutton. the
scheming millionaire gambler. A good
house witnessed the performance. The
traWley company will close its en-
gagement with "Trilby'' which win be
presented this afternoon and tonight.

ruins Their farms have been laid
waste and the eQHntry which they have
been struggling SO hard to transform
into a place where they might rear
their children amid peace and plenty
has been returned to its native wilder
ness or worse. When men have sac
rifeed everything in the cause of lib
erty, they cannot be accused of dis
honor if they submit TO proposals
which, under ordinary circumstances.
would be Calling beyond endurance.
No matter whether peace is pro-
claimed at this time OF not it cannot
be far of. There is a iimi1 TO even
the Beers power Of resistance. They
have made fight which is at once the
wonder and the admiration of the civil
lied world, not excepting even England.
Time and time again the last spark of
resistance has apparently been crushed
out Of thems but the fires were only
temporarily banked. Again and again
they have burst into consuming flame
nd the English troops have been rout-
ed and repulsed. With each desperate
charge, each vaIOrous defense, The lit
tie force has dwindled.
If they had possessed 1.-THE Of Eng
lands resources there is no question
but that the Beers would have forced
the invaders to terms many months
ago. But they are as a. man drawing
always upon his principal, arrayed
against one living on his income. In
the end the former must suffer while
the latter continues prosperous. Eng
land could keep up the war for wears
if need be. The drain upon her has
been heavy and the taxpayers have
grOaned under the burden, but the end
Of her resources is very far distant.
So the inevitable is now faced or must
soon be faced by the Transyaal repub-
lie. 1t IS possible that some measure Of
Independence may yet be granted the
Beers. Lovers Of liberty throughout the
world viii hope that England will be
generous. VIII she now be as magnan-
imous as her soldiers are courageous
Great Britain has gained nothing from
the war, absolutely nothing, from the
humanitarian standpoint The cause Of
civilization has been retarded, rather
than advanced, by this fight of a mon
archy to transform republic into an
imperial colony.
The one chance left for England is
to set the world an example of mag
nanimity. Win she accept it?
