ment.
Therefore, I personally feel that ulti-
mately the Nation will have to assume the
responsibility of regulating these very large
corporations which do an interstate BUSH
problem caused by the great combinations
of capital, and the easiest way for the States
to combine is by action through the ma
tional government. / am well aware that
the process Of constitutional amendment is
necessarily a slow one. and one into which
our people are reluctant to enter, save for
the best of reasons; but 1 am confident that
in this instance the reasons exist. / am also
aware that there will be difficulty in franz
ing an amendment which will meet the OBJ
jects of the case and yet which will secure
the necessary support. The very fact that
there must be delay in securing the adop-
ton of such an amendment insures full
discussion and calm consideration on the
whole subject and will prevent any ill-con-
sidered action.
II have no intention of trying to outline
the proper phraSeology OF such an amend
of agreement and discussion. But | firmly
believe that all these obstacles can be met,
IL only we face them. but with the deter
mination TO overcome them. and with the
further determination to overcome them
in ways which shall not do damage to the
country as a whole, which, on the contrary
shall further our industrial development
and shall help instead of hindering all cor
porations which work out their success by
means that are just and fair toward al
men.
PUBLICITY DESIRABLE.
without the adoption of a constitutional
amendment my belief is that a good dea
can be done by law. 1t is difficult to say
exactly how much. because experience has
taught us that in dealing with these sub
jects where the ines dividing the rights and
duties OF the States and of the Nation art
in doubt it has sometimes been difficult fol
Congress to forecast the action of tn,
courts upon its legislation. Such Legislation

even the best human system cannot work

IF RADICALS HAVE THEIR WAY.
1.-The men who propose to get rid of the
evils of the trusts by measures which
would do away with this general we'll
being advocate a policy which would not
only be a damage to the community as a
whole, but which would defeat it's own
professed object. If we are forced to the
alternative of choosing a system under
which most of us prosper somewhat.

else a system under which no one prospers
enough, of course we VIII; choose the
former. III the policy advocated is so revo-
lutionary and destructive as to involve the
whole community in the crash of common
disaster, IL is as certain as anything can
be that when the disaster has occurred all
efforts TO regulate the trusts will cease and
that the one aim will be TO restore pros
perity.
"A remedy much advocated at the moment

will be necessary first to define trusts. The
language used by the advocates

DIR T. Dewitt TALMAGE DEAD.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April IA
Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, the noted
Presbyterian divine, died at 9 O'Clock
last night, at his residence, in this
city. 1t had been evident for some
days that there was no hope of re-
covery and the attending physicians
so informed the family.
DIR. Talmage was 70 years old and
became famous as pastor of the Pres
byterian Tabernacle in Brooklyn
It was destroyed by fire the third
time in 1894, and he has since
preached in Washington. He was
one of the most eloquent men that
ever adorned the American pulpit
There was such demand for his g
mons that t ey were syndicated and
published all over she United States.

MARCoNT's LATEST SUCCESS.

Mr.. Marconi is proving, beyond a
doubt, the possibilities of long-dis-
tance wireless teIegraphy. On board
the steamship Philadelphia, which
brought him to New York, he re-
oeived an actual message-not a mere
signal-from a station 1850 miles
distant. Messages can also be sent
il such a way that they shall be re-
ceived by one station only, and not
be liable to interruption by other
stations. He thinks it will take only
a few months to complete the work
of establishing sending stations at
Cape Breton Island and Cape Cod,
and that then there is nc reason why
messages may not be sentfrom either
eide of the Atlantic to the other
Western Recorder.

4 CANAL LEGISLATION.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The Repub-
loan steering committee of the Sem
ate has decided TO recommend that
the bill providing q form of govern
ment for the Philippine archipelago
should be made the unfinished bust
ness, which Is the place of prefer
enCe on the Senate calendar after
the disposal of the Chinese exclusion
bill and that the Nicaraguan Canal
bill shall be next assigned TO that
position. This decision sets at rest
the minds of those who have insis-
ted that the Canal bill passed by the
House would not come up for con-
sideration in the Senate this season
A long fight is expected when il
comes up, however. The Panama
Canal project has strong supporters,
and they will bitterly oppose the
Hepburn bill which, as passed by the
House, provides for a Nicaragua
canal. The second report of the
Walker commission, ~favoring the
Panama route, will, it is thought,
influence many who hesitate, and
even if the bill finally passes, it will
probably be SO loaded with amend
ments that the House will practi-
cally have TO go over it again.

The Aged South Carolina Warrior and States.
man Dies Near COlumbia.
COLUMBIA, April H. General Wade
Hampton died this morning at s
O'Clock. His death resulted not from
any disease, but was the result of a
general break down. GeneralH Gmp-
ton was "a years of age last week.
He was born in Columbia, 8. G in
1918, the son and grandson Of dis
tinguished bearers of the same name.
He received his education at the
University of South Carolina, and
after being graduated from that in
stitution, studied law, but never prac-
ticed his profession. He was elected
to the Legislature of South Carolina,
but his political opinions made him
unpopular with the people and he
did not serve long in that capacity,
His early life was largely devoted to
his plantation and he was known
throughout his section of the ooun.

When the war broke out he enlisted
as a private soldier, but subsequently
raised champions LEGION" which
he commanded throughout the war
At Bull Run 5000 of his men held
Warrenton road against Keys corps,
At Seven Pines his legion suffered
severely and he himself was badly
wounded in the foot. For his ser
vices on this occasion he was raised
30 the rank of Brigadier General of
Cavalry.
At the close of the wal General
Hampton retired to his plantation,
and in 1875 successfully contested an
election for Governor of his native
State against DanielH Chamberlain.
In 1878 he was elected to the United
States Senate, where he maintained
his principle as a staunch Democrat
of the conservative type, believing
firmly in sound currency. General
Hampton was appointed Commits
sioner of Railroads by President
Cleveland, and was succeeded in that
Office in 1892 by General Longstreet
He advocated a conoiliatory policy
during the Reconstruction period
though it was received with small
favor, and accepted gracefully and
manfully the results of the defeat of
his arms. In referring TO the negro
in 1855, he is quoted as saying: GAS

THE SOUTH CAROLINA D1sPENsARY.

Among the enterprises in which
the State has any interest, the liquor
business of South Carolina has be-
come the largest and most important
For the year ending November 80,
the receipts were close to two million
dollars, while at the end of the year
the school fund, to which sccrues the
profit from liquor sales, had a credit
of $611, 900. This credit, however,
was at that time apparently invested
in stock. The dispensary had nearly
$3.50, 900 of liquor on hand, about
equally distributed between the main
warehouse and the various dispensers
throughout the State. The net profit
for the year amounted to $3.50, 600
odd, the gross profit of nearly $500,
900 having been reduced TO this
amount by such expenditures as
&191, 900 for supplies, $4,000 for ex-
penses, $50, 900 for freight, $780, 600
for labor, and ga, 81 for the liquor
police.-New York Evening Post.
