A Charleston, S. c., special says i:
Although elected governor of the
Palmetto State by an overwhelming
majority, B. R. Tillman is still out
in the cold with the 400 Of the
South Carolina Club, which gave
it's annual ball last night. At the
meeting Of the club before the ball
some of the members made an
effort to get tho goyernor,elect

by the adoption eff a resolution
which excluded Tillman. At the

The speech Of ex.Judge G.. A.
Fournet, delivered October %, 1890
on the occasion Of the laying Of the
corner stone of the new Court house
at Lake Charles is able and ap.
propriate. 1t contains several prac,
tical and very valuable hints and
suggestions. We quote one of them
and others deserve reproducing, but
we have not space for them:
"a lawyer 10 not the adversary
but the adviser Of the Court before
which he pleads. He is also a
Counselor, one who gives counsel
not only to his client, but also to the
Judge and to the Jury.
A good and reputable attorney
will never attempt to misstate the
facts, not to represent to the Court
as law. that which he knows not to
be the law. For ifhe does SO there
is no limit to the evil that may fol.
lows 1t is not considered
good practice for a decent attorney
to huat cases, and the lawyer who
viii torment litigation is not only
the most despicablc Of his kind, but
9 dangerous element in society"
These remarks are timely and
admirable. Let US BY all means up
hold and vindicate the honor and
high tone of profession. It's learn.

Wild Rice.

1t IS now the SGaSOu IoE LAO wiz
rice (zizania) to be in seed. Though
not abundant in Florida, it ia to
be found in many localities along
the marshy banks of creeks. In
general appearance it resembles
Indian corn. The seeds are borne
on the lower branches of the "tas.
sell" and fall off very readily. The
following particulars in regard to
this interesting grass are taken from
the Western World
"One Of the indigenous grasses Of
which from time immemorial furnish
ed food for wild fowls and scarcely
less Wild Indians. has recently come
into favorable notice for its valuable

accustomed to push their canoes
through the waters Of the dense
rice swamps and pausing under
thick Clumps beat the ripened grain
into their canoes. In this way large
quantities were harvested FOR times
of need.
"The plant abounds in the lakes
and sluggish streams from the
middle segion of Canada and the
Northwest ; not only in the low,
wet banks, but also on the muddy
bottom where the water is several
feet deep. Wild rice is an annual

Attack on the MCKINLEY Bin.

The attack OF some New York
importers on the Mckinley bill has
been from point Of approach that
was scarcely to be expected. The
suit they have brought in the Uni.
ted States court will contest the le-
gaIity Of the Mckinley law on the
ground that Speaker Reeds rulings
at the time it passed the house were
unconstitutional The particular
ruling referred to is that when Dem
ocrats were present in the house and
refrained from voting, Speaker
Reed directed the clerk to count
them as present, thus constituting
a quorum under the law. Under
such = ruling as this the tariff law
was passed by the Republican ma
jority.
The importers will claim that this
ruling was unconstitutional, and
that Speaker Reed had no right 10
count as present the members who
refused to vote, although they were
in their seats. On the strength of
this claim they will assert that the
tariE law which classlfies worsted
cloths as wooden goods, aud fixes a
duty OF thirty-five cents pound
and 80 per cent. ad valorem, is null
and void, and no law at all, because
it was not passed in the manner d.
rected by the constitution. Setting
forth this claim the importers hope
to force from the United States judi
ges an opinion on the constitution

the subject OF quorums.
