Southern Roads May be Compelled to Fur
nish Separate Coaches.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 2.-The rail-
roads are likely to have a troublesome
time with the Virginia Legislature un-
less they concede separate cars for
white and colored people. Governor
Mckinney, in his message to-day,
urges that the railroads be forced to
provide the separate coaches:
sIf there be well-founded reason
for separate schools and colleges for the
two races and separate churches; and
separate hotels, why should there not
be separate coaches for travellers?" ne
asks. Gall day long the two races
may occupy the same coach, but when
the journey is concluded the white and
the colored passengers separate each 10
his home or hotel, and the association
is ended. Why should it? If it is
right for them TO travel together day
and night, why should they not go TO
the same hotels for food and rest? We
should be consistent. The separation
of the races in churches, schools, and
hotels has met with tie approval Of
the people, and the result has been
good. They should be separated on
the railroad coaches as well. Where
it has been attempted it has met with
favor"
The Governor also urges that Pull
mans palace cars be forced to pay d
license tax.
LOUISVILLE, Dec. 2.-The annual re-
port of the Kentucky Railroad Com
missioners recommends that law be
passed providing separate coaches for
white and colored persons. This is
said to be due in part to the shooting
of Miss McEvan by negro in a row
between white and colored persons on
a Louisville and Nashville train in
last.

SMITH g. WEARN.
Judge Wallace was defeated for AS

Judge Wallace was defeated for AS
sociate Justice because he had less
votes than his competitor. Why he
had less votes, his friends allege. was
due to the absence or failure to "answer
when their names were called' Of
eleven members, who, it is claimed,
had faithfully promised to vote for
Judge Wallace. Why these eleven
members failed to vote as they thought,
it is openly charged, was due to per-
sonal pressure brought to bear from a
very high quarter. The accuracy OF
of these claims it is difficult to ascer-
tain, and it is an easier explanation to
ascribe the result to the opposition to
Judge Wallace Indicated in the Gov
er or's message, and clinched by the
understanding arrived at when the
election of Mr.. McIver as Chief Justice
was decided upon in caucus more or
less formal.
This is the second time that Judge
Wallace has failed of elevation to the
Supreme Bench by narrow margin Of
votes In 1879, I think it was, when
Gen. MCGOWAN was elected Associate
Justice, Judge Wallace was nominated
for the place and failed to elect by only
three votes. AS a curious circumstance
in connection Herewith, it may be
mentioned that Judge Wallace was
then placed in nomination by Maj.
Meetze, of Lexington, who in this con-
test had an ambition of bis own for
wearing th,. ermine.
Senator MeetZe was. not present at
to-day's session and, therefore, did not
vote, but had he been it is extremely
doubtful if his vote would have been
for Gen. Y. J. Pope.

wisdom to prohibit it where is the wis
dom of prohibiting anything?

Mr.. Blease opened the fight against
the bill. He said the Legislature was
not the place to pass prohibition laws.
The matter shodld be submitted to the
people.
He moved toindefnitely postpone the
bill, but withdrew this motion on not
ing the evident desire of the House for
speeches.
He continued to speak, saying be
did not drink, and therefore the bill
did not affect hira. He opposed it be-
cause of its unconstitutionality. All
men, the Constitution declares, are
born free and equal, but this bill pro-
poses to cripple a mans personal liber-
ty. The matter should be put before
the people at County or State elections,
and they should be allowed to express
! their will.
Many persons who had signed petit
tions from his (Newberry) County were
utterly ignorant of its provisions, and
several parties had on information torn
up. petitions they were circulating:
On one of the petitions from New
berry County he had seen number Of
children'S names.
Mr.. Childs had asserted that if the
present Representatives did not pass
the law the people would send men to
the Legislature who would. He con-
ceived that he was in the Legislature
to do what he conceived was right and
to obey no ones bidding. He was not
trying to "get back" and would vote
the way his judgment dictated, though
the whole of Newberry County wished
him to do otherwise.
Mr. Bissel said Mr.. Child's honesty
Ci heart and sincerity of purpose were
apparent to all, but still his bill was
contrary to the principles of the Con-
stitution, which provides personal
liberty.
Mr.. Bremen made fiery speech in
opposition to the bill. He claimed that
it was wrong to introduce into the
Legislature measure Of such import
ance which had not been an issue of
the campaign and which had not been
discussed Oil the hustings.

FOOD FOE THE RUSSIANS.
American MilIers Will Send Shipload of
Flour to the Sufferers.

..
MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, Dec. 3.-The
first attempt in the history Of this
country to afford relief to the famine
stricken peasantry of Russia has origi-
mated in Minneapolis.
The scheme is to send a shipload Of
flour to Russia by the middle of next
January, and 5000 merchant millers Of
America are to be asked to help. The
cargo will be 5000 tons, or 100000
pounds 200 tc S125,000.
The Russian ministerial Washington
has been communicated with, and ~
his absence the charge affairs at New
York wires that he has laid the matter
before his country. The idea at first
was to make gift, one from Minnesota
alone, but it was thought best to give it
national scope.
The railroads are willing to give
transportation and the deal will I've
closed as soon as the Russian minister
hears from home.
Minneapolis millers will give twenty
five car loads of the cargo.

THE PROHIBITION QUESTION.
4 Long Discussion on the Chi1Is Bill-The
Question Laid on the Table to he
Further Considered.
The Register, 5th.

[The Register, 5th.
The members were somewhat SLOW
in assem- oling and for the first hal
hour after the opening there Were
many vacant chairs. Most of th'
members got in in time to participate
in the prohibition fight, which wa:
lively and the feature Of the day. The
members arriving early amused them
selves by launching shafts of wit at Mr.
Evans, whose desk was derked with Z
large and lovely bunch of violets.
The prohibition Dill was the specia
order for l l a. m., but was not called
up until ll:3O. The audience in the
galleries was not large, but was inter,
ested.
Nj. Kirkland moved to strike out
the enacting clause of the bill.
Mr.. Childs took the floor and made
an admirable speech in support of the
bill. 1t was mastery presentation of
all the arguments in favor of prohibi-
ton. He pictured in dismal tints the
evils and horrors of intemperance and
/ in growing colors pictured the good re-
suits that would follow the enactment
of prohibitory laws.
Last year 81, 900, ,00000C was spent for
+ liquor and this expenditure is increas-
ing at the rate of S5S,00O,000 a year.
This does not include the effects of the
traffic. A safe estimate would place
this at another billion dollars. The
liquor traffic costs more annually than
all the expenses of every function Of the
government.
How can matter of this magnitude
be put aside with a sneer?
In South Carolina the liquor traffic
amounts to $50,000,000 annually.
Every year $4,000 people died from
the effects Of drink, one every ten min
uteS.
Out OF every five families one must
furnish victim for this horrid mon
ster. Does any one here want one Of
his boys to he victim to this traffic?
If not, be consistent. Join in the effort
to suppress that which is continual
menace to the safety of the boys.
The legal right Of the State to pass
prohibit0ry laws is very clear. Frequent
decisions of the United States Supreme
Court have affirmed the soundness and
righteousness ofthe principles involved.
No right growing out of citizenship in
the United States is violated thereby.
If the State has the power to restrain
by license, TO judge the limit to which
the traffic shall 90, it certainly has the
right to restrain it altogether.
There can be no doubt as to the
States duty to exercise its right. Glad
stone said governments should make it
hard as possible for man. to do wrong
and easy as possible for him to do
right.
What is license? Some say a tax
which implies 10 endorsement. \ tax
is a burden to be borne, a license
privilege to he enjoyed. The latter
implies permission. The State does not
tax crime, it does not STARE in the pro-
fit of larceny. The State has the power
to abolish the liquor traffic and, having
such, is responsible for all wickedness
it.
Licenses, high or low, are vicious in
principle and powerless i'll auth ority.
Whatever is right is wise. Prohibi-
ton is wise because it is the only
means which tends to the suppression
of this evil, and if it is not the part vi

SUPPOSE.
What are the Southern Farmers Going
to Do About 1t.
Manufactures Record.


Suppose the grain crops Of the United
States rext year should be small.
And it is hardly probable that the
enormous yields Of this year will be
followed by another year of as great
abundance.
Suppose Europe should also have
small crops.
Suppose either the United States or
Europe should have short crops, and it
is not probable that both will have
large crops.
Under any of these conditions prices
for grain would continue high, as the
world will have very short stocks
carried over into the crop year OF
1892.
II both Europe and America should
have snail crops, which is possibility,
it is difficult to say where prices would
so.
Under these circumstances, what are
Southern farmers going to do? Are they
going to raise another large cotton crop
and sell it at 9 loss, and buy their corn,
wheat aud provision, or are they going
to raise their own foodstuffs of all
kinds, as they can readily do, and be
indepenGent of the price Of Western
corn and bacon, and then have small
ler cotton crop at higher prices as q
surplus.
The present low price of cotton will
prove blessing if it drives Southern
farmers to raising their own foodstutts.

Wallace.
The State, 4th.1

The election for associate justice to
fill the place vacated by Chief Justice
McIver yesterday resulted in the choice,
by the Legislature, of General Pope,
the administration candidate.
The election attracted large crowd
to the capitol, and long before the Sc
nators filed into the House chamber,
the galleries were well filled with inter-
ested spectators, the great majority Of
whom were eofthe gentIerseX. Contrary
to popular XpectatlOn, there were no set
speeches made in behalf of the candi-
dates, an agreement having been made
to present the names without comment.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR
GRANTED.
Mr.. Pope was asked to-day how he
regarded the election. Hesaid that he
could not be otherwise than pleased.
The friends of both sides made a vigor-
Gus fight, and, while always confident
of success, he would do all he could to
uphold the dignity of the office and to
deserve the good opinion held of him
by many friends, as expressed in the
vote. Mr.. Pope has always declined to
be interviewed on the subject of his
chances. He said to-day that this was
through no discourtesy, but in order
that the result when obtained should
be on the plane that has heretofore
characterized elevation to this distin-
guished office. He did not do any
lobbying, leaving the decision to the
discretion and discrimination of the
General Assembly, which he regards
as composed Of men we'll qualified to
think, speak and act for themselves.
COLUMBIA COMMENT.
The Administration victory in the
Legislature to-day is the subject of a
good deal Of comment in political,
judicial and Legislative circles here to-
night. Even the Administration peo-
pie admit that the victory was close
shave, and it is no secret that the Ad-
ministration whip was cracked for all
it was worth to secure it. A glance at
the vote will show that quite a number
Of the staunchest friends of the Admin
istration failed to respond 10 the crack
of the whip, and it is common rumor
that many of them who did so will re-
fuse to respond any further.
1t is said in some quarters that the
election was the result of deal between
the friends of Justice McIver and those
of Attorney General Pope. The Wallace
men point to the rather significant fact
that after all the Administration owes
its narrow victory to the negro vote in
the Legislature. Two of the color<d
members, Mears, of Charleston, and
Blake, of Berkeley, voted for Judge
Wallace. The three others, Ravenel, of
Berkeley, Twiggs, of Georgetown and
Fields, of Beaufort, voted flor Pope.
This, with the vote of Senator, who,
it is said, was pledged to vote foc Wal
lace and who did not, elected Mr.. Pope
The three colored men, it is said, were
going to vote for Wallace, but were
deferred by the speech of DR.. Woods,
of Clarendon, who has made himself
rather conspicuous this session, and
who was the only man who made
speech during the nominations. He
seconded the nomination of Judge
Wallace.
The Administration was counting on
at least one hundred votes for the
Attorney General. He Egot seventy
three white votes and three colored
votes. There seems to be a Gisposition
here to acquiesce in the election. The
element is not very
jubilant over it.
In seconding; the nomination of
Judge Wallace to-day Mr.. Finley, Of
York, said: 1T gives me great pleasure
to second the nomination of the peer
of any man on earth, General William
H. Wallace, of South Carolina"
