Firty.second Congress.

Hon. Mr.. Crisp was elected and
duly installed as Speaker yesterday,
He was escorted to the chair by
Mr.. Mills, OF Texas, and ex-Speak.
or Reed, of Maine. The ex speaker
was placid and self-po;sed, while
Mr.. Mills showed evidences Of un-
due excitement and struggled to
hide his disappointment.
The FIRST business was drawing
for seats, after which the Speaker
announced Messrs. Blouut and Mills
Democrats, and Mr.. Reed, Republi-
can, a committee to wait on the
President Of the United States, and
inform him that the House was or
gAnized for business. Mr.. Mills de
clined aud Mr.. Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, was substituted.
The Senate was also organized
and reported itself ready for bust
ness.
The Presidents Message will be
read tomorrow in both Houses,
and Immediately given to the pub
lie.
After the various standing com
mittees are appointed, Congress will
take recess for the holidays.

Much interest is just now ie.' "'
to the Speakers tariff views IN
.neech in the last Congress nt.
Grisp made a we'll prepared speech
arain.t the Mckinley bill during
lie passage through the Hon. !. !,
which he said 81 can suo0est J
plan Of relief in 6v., minutes. Mod
ify the existlpg tariff laws; reduce
taxation; permit some reasonable
competition in the markets; destroy
trusts; accord equal rights to all
and special privileges to none.
Give the farmer free salt, free bag
ging, free cotton ties. Give him
some reduction on hats, on WOODEN
clothes and on HE cotton goods
You cannot increase the price OF
the product of the farmer by pro-
tective tariff, but you can decrease
to him the cost of production and
of living by reducing the tariff on
articles used in making crops and
on articles of necessity which all
families must use No amount Of
juggling-if the discussion goes on
will prevent the Western and
Southern farmer from understand
ing what this protective system real
ly is, that its effect is to take from
one man to give to another; to take
from the mass to give to class.
These views have been pretty gen.
orally accepted by the Democratic
party, and will no doubt control the
Speaker in making up his commit
tees.

What Does 1t Mean

The last meeting Of the A. r. Presbyterian
Synod In reference toa matter mat came up
adopted the following
"IeesoLrcd, That IL Is the sense OF the SYNOD
that It will he expedient to refrain from a dis
cussIOn in the public prints OF the matter thai
has been handed down In overture 10 the
Presbyteries."
Ifthe liberty of doing so had been refused
TO tho press at Due West 1t would have been
bad enough but 10 put such II curb, bitted re-
Strlction on the public prints" OF the lapd IL
somewhat unique for Il Protestant eclesiasti'
cal court.
So far as known to the writer, the "publlc
prints" both secular and religious, have thus
lar obeycd orders In not publishing "the res
olutions," They may be In doubt about ihe
matter" to which reference il made, as The
resolution furnishes no clue 10 II. There
has been no matter of discussion debated In
the A. II. Presbyterian since the Elder.M0der.
aLor question and the removal OF Erskine
College from Due West.
Now, that the congregations 10 be represent
ed In the Presbyterles might act intellisently,
IL should certainly huve been debated freely
as was the College question, If the matter has
two sides II II has, and Is one or much I'M
portance, II IUus suitable nnd altogether prop
cr that The people should hear both sides. II
really looks like there IL eapediency OF an es
oterIc character which Is decidedly wrong, II
the 'matter" has reference to any change IN
either the Government, discipline, or wor'
ship of A. L. Presbyterianism as 1t has exist
ed Tor almost one hundred years.
If you, Mr.. Editor, as having control OF one
of the public prints ure willing TO risk IL
YOU will please publish the above. The
writer respectfully asks all other "puolC
prints 10 do the same,

male child was found yesterday afternoon by
sam Burno and reported the fact in town
DIR. Hill and others went TO the place. We
have not seen DR.. II i'll on the subject, but 1t Is

said that the child had been born alive. We
had heavy rains at intervals until after mid
day and the cloth which wrapped II was dry
II ii had been placed there before the rain the
fact would have been evident.
Alex Johnson put 1t in a crocuS sack and
brought TO the Court House when chief Riley
nailed it up in a small box, and put 1t in tine
guard house.
A coroner's jury will be impannelled today
to Investigate the matter.

It would be very little trouble TO trace the
tracks OF the person depositing the child in
the gulley, but for the sake OF the morals anG
decency of this people we hope that the
Jury may find the usual Vcrdict-"at tho
hands of parties unknown to them"
O.. We have not the slightest idea as to who
the mother may be, but prosecutions for in

the publication Of the details OF such crimes
are always detrimental to the decency anc
virtue Of the community in which sucl
trials take place.

A Wise Practice.

When Spaniard eats peach or a pear by

in the sand with his foot md covers the seed.
Consequently, all over Spain, by the road
tempts the taste and Is ever free. Let this
practice he initiated In our country, and bless
the hand that ministercd to his comfort aud
Joy. We are bound to leave the world as good
or better than we found It, and he Is selfish
churl who basks under the shade and eats the
fruit OF trees which other hands have planted
if he will not also help to plant trees which
shall yield fruit 10 coming generations In
change.
But in the United States the boys in follow.
Ing the example of George Washington, cut
down the fruit trees, as they come to them
If it had not been for George Washington S
little hatchet and cherry tree story, this coun'

fruit.
