"INSINUENDOES."
4 Fitting and Suggestive Word for the
Times.

In the South Carolina Legislature the other
day, the Committee on Claims having reported
in favor of paying one "Joe Crews" s., 900 for
forage furnished the constabulary force, the
payment was opposed until more evidence
could be furnished of the correctness of the
claim, and that it had not been paid once al
ready. These unkind suggestions were vigo.
rously denounced by the friends Of the forage
furnished as cruel and unjust "insinuendoes."
Without venturing an opinion as to. the justice
or in injustice of the claim of Mr.. Joe Crews,
we may be permitted to express the obligations
which society, and especially society's repre-
sentatves in official life, Legislators, Cabinet
officers and such, are under for an uncommonly
fresh, beautiful and expressive phrase. It adj
mirably fits the time. It is contribution to
current politics as well as to philology.
They have another case of it too in South
Carolina, under the very nose, so to speak, Of
the Legislature which coined it. Judge B. 3.
Carpenter was the guilty party, upon the trial
before him of person charged with grand
citizens, came into court after the case had been
submitted to them, and upon being asked three
or four times if they had agreed upon verdict,
and having their duties explained to them by
the court responded, "No bill" Upon further
explanation they altered it to "None guilty"
1t was then discovered that not one of the jury
could read or write, whereupon Judge Carpen-
ter discharged them upon the ground that they
were incompetent. The members of the jury
and their friends very properly considered this
an "insinuendo," and took the case to the
Legislature upon petition for Judge Carpen.
ter's impeachment. The committee appointed
to inquire into the facts reported that the Judge
said he discharged the jury because they we're
incompetent, and that it was judicial act, and
the Legislature had no jurisdiction in the prem
ises. This was understood to be another Gin
sinuendo," and the committee simply submit
ted the facts, "leaving the House to judge of
their importance and legality" The chairman
of the committe said he wanted Judge Car
penter to understand that ne was elected BY
colored people mainly, who were themselves
elected by those very colored men whom he
had pronounced too ignorant to act as jurors"
The case is still pending in the Legislature,
but there is a manifest disposition on the part
of the sable legislators to put down the "insin-
;lendo" business.
Whatever comes of the case, the fact remains
that soath Carolina has given the world the
word. And the world thanks South Cayoiina
and Joe Crews for teaching it that word.

Then and Now.

The Legislature of South Carolina appro.
priated for public printing, during period OF
s;xtv wears. as follows: 1900 to 1909, inclusive,
sl1 $50: 1909 to 1919, $17,500; 1919 to 1929,
S24,75O; 1929 to 1889, $32, $50; 1889 to 1849,
$57,5OO; 1849 to 1859, $127, 900. Total for six
ty years, s271, 1,1S0.
Our Legislature, last year, expended 1881 ,945
for public printing; that is, $50, ,765 more than
it cost the State for sixty years before the war.
r. the expenditure of $4,000 for printing in
the great State of Pennsylvania caused 8 revo-
luton of parties there, what should be the re-
suit of the extravaganza Of the South Carolina
Legislature here?
PAY OF MEMBERS. -1800-1S09, average ap-
preparation, S12,5S0; 1S09-1S19, average ap-
propriation, SIG, $50 1Sl0-1S59, annual appro.
priaation, $4,000. Then member was content
with about $130 session now each member
has $500, mileage at twenty cents mile, and
besides many of them demand fees ectro.
ATTACHES OF LEGIsLATURE.-1heaa there
were two door-keepers and two messengers,
$216; 1920 to 1859, $3.50. Noso the number is
variously estimated from 80 to $50. Who can
tell how many are employed, and what it costs
the State?
GOVERNORS CONTINGENT FUND.-1S00 to
1916, annually, $4,000; in 1916, it was raised
to y 1000; 1855 to 1859, lo,OOO-except in 1862
SIS when it was $4,000. Noo the Governo,
has $40 900 and the civil contingent fund $780,.
00O Resides these, there are about a dozen
other contingent funds of $1,000 each.
CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SESSION.
Up to 1910, they were never higher than $500
nar session. From 1848 to 1850, they were
81 200 per annum. N0w, who can tell wha
they are? ,o.o /. ,oro ~,
nual appropriation for stationery, fuel, distrib
uting the Acts, expenses for election returns
was 81, 400, if so much be necessary. Previous
to that time, in some sessions, the amounts to
stationery appear to be much less. NoT, wh'
can tell the amount paid out during the las
wear for stationery, fuel, distributing the Act
and election returns? Perhaps the Republical
! Printing Company can answer.

The Third Term.

PATERSON, N. j., Oct. 1.-THE
Hon. George M. Robson, Secretary
of the Navy, addressed an immense
Republican mass meeting here Friday
night. In the course Of his remarks
he spoke Of the administration as
being the representative Of the Repub-
lican party, and said that neither the
Administration nor it's chief would
ever be found outside Of that party,
nor would it nor he ever be found
acting contrary to the best interests
of the nation nor contrary to the
established tradition of the country.
This remark was understood to refer
} the third term agitation, and
was vociferously applauded.
Subsequently, in private converse
ton with leading gentlemen of this
city, Secretary Robson, in reply to
questions on the subject, said thai
President Grant had no idea of a third
term, had never thought of such a
thing, and regarded the discussion Of
that matter as unworthy of notice.
Hence his reticence on the subject,
except in conversation with his init
mate friends, all of whom are well
acquainted with his views on the mat
ter. For this reason, too, he has
avoided giving any official expression
of his opinion on the subject, lest he
might seem to attach too much impor-
lance to the reports that have never
had any foundation in fact.
