Senator Hampton's Bill to Prevent
congressman From Soliciting Ap-
pointments.


A bill has been introduced into the
Senate by Gen. HAMPTON of South
Carolina. If passed, it will take from
Congressman the power to NEEDLE with
appointments, but viii give them more
time to attend to public business. 1t
provides:
That IL shall be a misdemeanor for
any Senator or Representative to recon-
mend or solicit, directly or indirectly
the appointment of any person to an
Office under the Government. and that
any such Senator or Representative who
shall be convicted of making such re.
eommendatlon or solicitation shall he
punished by a fine of not more than
81 goo and rot less than $500. one-haf
of which shall go to the persons upon
whose testimony such convictions shall
have been obtained and the other hall
10 the United States. Whenever tine
appointing power shall call on a Senator
or Representative Tor information touch
ing an applicant for office, he shall do 80
III writing, aud such information a. may
be given snail be furnished in writing
over the signatures of such Senator or
Representative, and shall be filed ia the
department or bureau OF the Office at
whose request il was furnished. Moth.
Ing IN this act shall be construed so as
To forbid any Senator or Representative
OF the Congress OF the United States
from forwarding to the appointing
power any application for Office that he
may receive, but any endorsements he
may make thereon shall relate only To
the facts OF the case or the character of
the application.
ten. H,NProN, in reply to an inter
viewer, explained the objects of his bill
as follows.
Il have been studying the matter for
some time, and have come to the con-
elusion that it is right and proper to |
break up this pernicious system of !
in the civil service. Con- |
gressmen should be left free to attend
to the business for which they are sent
to Washington-legisl for the peo-
pie of the United States-and not merely |
to become office-brokers. 1t was solely |
with view to remedying this evil that
/ introduced my resolution in the Senate,
and hope il viii pass both houses of /
Congress. The appointing powers and
Congressman, too, are sick and heartily /
Disguised with the scramble for Office,
for nothing else can be attempted now
il Washington with any certainty of
success. Business of all kinds is blocked I
and the time and attention Of the peo-
pies servants diverted from their proper
duties. As soon as the holiday recess
ends, my resolution will be pressed
earnestly and vigorously, and already
many gentlemen on both sides Of the
Senate chamber have expressed them
selves In favor OF il. z

Construction of statutes

The local option law of Georgia pro-
vides that when any county adopts
prohibition the effect shall be to exclude
from sale all wines except those manu-
featured in that State. In the case
recently decided at Atlanta, Judge
Mccoy held that feature of the statute
invalid because it Is an interference
with commerce between the States. As
a consequence, in suit brought by the
anti-Prohibitionists, prohibition is made
more exclusive, as no wines, either
foreign or native, can be sold. We are
not prepared to say that the decision of
the learned judge is not sound but it
illustrates the difficulty which courts
often find in giving effect to legislative
enactmenfs. The cardinal rule or
canon Of construction being always that
the intention Of the Legislature shall be
carried out when not obnoxious to any
provision of the Constitution of the
State or United States, 1t frequently
happens that courts are much perplexed
when they find some feature of
statute that cannot stand the Constitu-
tional test, to decide whether the obnox-
iOus feature is so interviewer with the
entire scheme as to warrant its condem-
nation, or whether such feature should
be eliminated from the scheme and
effect given to sush parts of it as are
Constitutional.
Take.the present case. Clearly it was
the intention of the Legislature of Geor-
gia that foreign wines should not be sold
and that native wines should be. But
il turns out that the discrimination in
favor of native wines is prohibited by
the Constitution. Shall this provision
fail and that excluding foreign wines be
Or shall both fail? Had the
known that it could not
in favor of the home pro-
duct, would it have prohibited the sale
Of the foreign article2
1t might be said with some
force that the intention of the
was that the good familiar
creature" should be sold rather than
hat the sale of it should be interdicted,
and we doubt not that there could be
found astute lawyers who would contend
hat the law of Georgia, SO far as wine
5 concerned, is law to encourage and
promote the drinking of wine, provided |
t is home -made.
What the Legislature really desires
will be best known when it meets again.
In the meantime, the wine industry in
Georgia must suffer from the effects of |
Judge .McCoY's decision unless it be
-eversed.

Exporting Gold.

The exports of gold to Europe, which
have commenced during the last day or
two, are regarded by some easily scared
people as a serious cause for alarm, and,
as usual, efforts are making to turn
them into an argument for stopping the
coinage of silver.
Considering that our banks and the
United states Treasury are both loaded
up with millions of useless gold, and
that the rate Of interest for money here
is lover than it is in London, the ex-
ports Of the metal have none but the
ordinary commercial significance They
are the legitimate results of the action
of the Bank of England, and will cease
just so soon as that institution has re-
plenished its stock of bullien.-N T.

The Speakership.

EDITOR CLARION There is a sentiment
being worked up, in the contest for
Speaker purely ON the principle of section
alism. | refer to the spirit that has been
manifested in behalf OF certain candidates
and which is based solely on the fact that
the "Mighty East is, by right, entitled to
the honors--that their claims were totally
ignored by the late State Convention in its
distribution of nominations, and conse-
quently they are cleft out in the cold'
Now let us see if such a complaint is
founded in Justice, reason or fact. First,
let us ask the question, who is to blaUe for
that chivalric and historic section, 'rhe
Mighty East" not receiving a single"
nomination from our last State Convention
1t is fact, and one, too, not denied by the
East" that she could have nominated the
Auditor and Acknowledgement by uniting
her forces and acting harmoniously as the
West" did. Now, | submit, that in view
Of the facts above stated that the mighty
East has no grounds Tor complaint what
ever, on that score.
Now, in the next place, Mr. Editor, let
us if the Mighty East" has been so totally
ignored and "left out in the cold" in the
distribution Of offices, appropriations and
internal improvements" ETC., in the past.
Let us enumerate some very substantial
houors and offices that have been thrust
upon that complaining section. la the
first place, that section has had the
Governor since Ames was impeached
and dethroned, and every other portion has
heartily endorsed them without complain
ing or grumbling. In the second place, that
section has had the Speaker for three times
since 1875 in the persons Of Messrs. Street,
Tiscn and Inge. In the Sd place, that
section now has the Sup't of the Peniten-
tary, Sup't of Lunatic Asylum, two of the
Railroad Commissioners, and one of the
Supreme Judges. In the last six years
the might East" has had built upon her
genial and fertile soil, at the expense of
the State, the A. and NJ. College, the East
Mississippi Insane Asylum, at Meridian,
ana the State Female College at Columbus.
which has cost in the aggregate over half
million of dollars. Now, Mr. Editor, all
things considered, is it Just for our friends
OF the East to claim any particular Office
a. a right? To know no East, no West, no
North.and South, is a shibboleth in national
politics, that has grown automatic in its
Observance throughout the Union, and WIN
not accord it the same observance in our
State politics All the candidates are Mis-
sissippianS and belong to the same political
family, and the only question that ought to
have precedence in settling the Speaker
ship is one of merit and qualifications.
Let the one who merits and deserves il, |
bear off the honor, and let MS hear no more |
about which section has right to it.

Prohibition IN Iowa.

If the statements contained in the fol
lowing editorial, which we copy from
the Philadelphia Weekly Times of the
10Th insL., be true, they deserve the con
sideration of all who are intent ON i'm
proving the laws regulating the traffic
in alcoholic liquors
Estate Senator SUTFoN, of Iowa, has
contributed to the history of the prohi-
bition movement the most remarkable
chapter of recent times. 1t is in sub
stance an exhaustive review Of the stu
alton in the Senator's State, showing the
workings Of the law as illustrated in
ninety-nine counties, including every
city and town of three hundred inhabi
tants and upwards Briefly, it shows
that since the law went into effect the
number of places where liquor is sold
openly has increased from l ,806 to 1887
and that over 400 dealers are selling by
the well-known subterfuge of side door.
While the little villages in some in
stances have been enabled to enforce the
law, in the larger cities and towns there
is practically no effort made to abolish
the traffic. Even where such effort has
been made and the issue sharply drawn
the result has been the complete rout Of
the prohibition people and an increase
of the evil they sought to destroy.
A comparison of present with past
conditions in the leading cities is especi-
ally instructive and significant. Des
Moines, which two years age, under a
high license law, had reduced the num-
Der of its saloons to sixty, now has one
hundred and seventy. five; Davenport
reports an increase of thirty; Dubuque,
one hundred and twentysix; Keokuk,
thirteen; Sioux City, twenty-five, and
the correspondent from Ottumwa re-
ports "four times as many and ten times
as bad" Waterloo, a place of sixty-fve
hundred population, reports reduction
from twenty to sixteen, together with
less drunkenness, less loafng, less carous-
ing; but it is carefully explained that
this is the result, not of prohibition, but
of an annual tax of 1915 levied on
the saloons, without regard to the pro-
hibition law
1T has long been apparent to the
most casual observer that it is easier to
pass strict prohibitory laws than to
enforce them. The New England States
passed through this experience long ago
and Kansas and Iowa are but repeating
the lesson. Ia the country districts and
small towns the law can be enforced
without much difficulty. In the cities
and larger towns it is practically not
enforced at all, and the wiser way would
be to attempt to regulate the traffic by
a high license law. Some control of the
worst features of the traffic would be
secured by this means and large revenue
for municipal or State purposes derived
from it.

Texas Wants Girls College.

The Larapasas Edgie, now edited by
our friend MARION b. R.cHaoSD, who

following handsome reference to our
State Industrial Institute and College:
Mississippi should not stand alone in
this grand work. She has had the honor
OF Leading the way, but there will De no
demerit in following in her footsteps 1t is
conceded more aud more every day BY the
worlds thinkers that the women as well as
men need special training for special work,
and that institutions for this training
should be established. Too many Of our
girls are educated merely in glittering
generalities, SIN altering of this, that and
everything, ard not much OF anything.
Life is too short to learn everything, even
that one would like to know, and while
there is no objection to acquiring general
know ledge, il does seem that more con-
eentrated effort should be made to learn
some one thing we'll. How independent
and strong must feel the woman who
knows that whatever the future has in
store for her there il one thing in which
she Is proficient one thing to which her

The Silver Fight Commenced.

Senator BECK, the stalwart Democrat
from Kentucky, according to accounts
from Washington, created a sensation on
the eve Of the recess by commencing the
silver campaign in gallant style His
speech was carefully prepared and was
read from manuscript. He swung his
battle ak of logic and statistics with
tremendous effect, and struck directly at
the stronghold Of the gold SPECTATORS.
The gist Of his speech was that the
Treasury Department has been in con.
spiracy FOR years past with organized
capitalists and untaxed bond holders, to
depreciate the silver dollar; and, TO this
end, it has openly and hagrantly violated
the law and the contract which requires
that gold and silver coins shall have
precisely the same treatment, and shall
both be uaed in paying the interest and
principal of the Government indebted
ness.
He charged that the business troubles
of the country are due to the eombina-
ton of Government officials with
capitalists and bond holders and their
prostituted press, for the destruction of
silver money.
Mr.. BECK, after showing how silver
had been Disseminated against, said
tsa.at there is not an obligation existing
in this country, national or municipal,
that could not lawfully be paid in gold
or silver coin of the United States.
The bondbolders of the Unped States,
he said, control enormogs amounts OF
money and the best t9ient Of the press,
and, having now csgcured the Executive
branch of the Government, they are
clamoring for gold, and gold alone, in
settlement of their claims. How is the
surplus silver to get out of the Treasury
if me Secretary of the Treasury viii not
|call in the bonds that ought to be called
in, and pay out the silver? The people
and their representatives. however,
support silver. No Executive officer
should be allowed to disregard the law
His speech bristled with figures and
arguments, and produced profound
impression. 1t was the right word al
the right time.
/ 1t is reported froln the Capital thai
Senator EvARTs, of New York, will
follow on the same line of argument will
Senator BECK This strikes the gold
bugs with dismay. The New York Sn
says that when he was elected to the
Senate last year, his rich Wall stree
constituents took him on trust, thinking
he was monomentaiist, and forgetting
that as delegate to the Internationa
; Silver Conference Of 1881. he delivered
a strong argument in favor of silve

Congress.

This body is now taking the usual
Christmas recess.
The only business Of Importance
by the Senate was the pas
sage of a bill TO regulate the Presiden-
tial succession in the event of the death /
of both the President and the Vice
President The bin proyidest a in such |
case, the Office of President Shall be filed
by the Secretary of State. Should he
die, it is prescribed that the mantle
shall next fall upon the Secretary of
the Treasury, and on other members of
the Cabinet in their order. 1T passed
the Senate by unanimouss vote, but
the indications are that it will not pass
the House with the same nnanimity. Mr..
RANDALL, has given notice of substi
tute which provides that the Electors
shall continue in Office four years, and
that upon the Electoral College the duty
shall be devolyed Of choosing another
President and Vice President in case of
the Heath of those first chosen.
The House, prior to the recess, was
( engaged wholly in the consideration of
9 Rules for its government. The Com
mittee on Rules consisted of Speaker
G. RLIsrR. and Messrs. MORRISON and
RANDALL, Democrats, and Messrs.
REED and H'scocK, Republicans. IT
o reported several Important changes, the
= most important Of which was the Rule
relating to the reporting Of Appropria.
ton Bills. For several Congresses past
the duty Of reporting all the Appropria-
+, ton bills has been devolyed upon the
+ Appropriation Committee, which was
= invested with the power Of setting aside
o at its own will, every other measure, and
. claiming priority of consideration
All the members Of the Committee Oh
Rules, except Mr.. RANDALL, who, it i.
understood, win be continued as Chair
man, concurred in report distributing
the powers Of the Committee Ip>othel
words, taking from it jurisdiction ovel
seven ofthe thirteen appropriations with
~ which it had been invested. This was tht
battle ground, and here the fight fol-
two weeks was fierce and hot. On tn,
one side it was held, logically we think
E that in the interest of economy thu
autocratic power of the COMMITTEES
a should be continued. This proposition
was denied by the advocates of tn,
majority report, and they declaimeC
strongly against perpetuating the powe
!, of this Committee over the Legislation
= Of Congress. OF the 226 who voted 70
the new rule distributing the appropri
ton bills, l05 were Democrats, and o
the 20 who voted for the old rule 3,
were Democrats, including Mr.. RAN
d DALI. The Republicans were divided
+ but majority also voted to sustain tn
Committee.
The Rules having been adopted tn
d Speaker, during the recess, will appoin
the Committees and The House will b.
+ ready for business when it meets again
!, on Monday Of January 5.
