Mr.. Calvin's Bank Bill.

Is not Mr.. Calvin's bank bill premature
measure. What is the use Of wasting time
in discussing and perfecting measure that
may be entirely inapplicable TO the condi-
tion of affairs that may exist after congress
has dealt with the financial situationl
1t is about certain that this congress will
not repeal the 10 per cent. tax on state bank
circulation. and the next congress will not
meet, unless an extra session is called, until
after this legislature has held Its second
session. What the next congress will do
with respect TO the tax on state
bank circulation, or what provision
It would make for bank note circulation il
that tax should be repealed, no one can pre-
dict with any degree Of certainty. The
national democratic platform calls for the
repeal of the tax, and it IL reasonable to
suppose that congress will respond favor
ably to the demand OF the Democratic
party, but in doing 30 It may establish
system of banking that will be superior TO
a state bank system and that will be en-
tirely satisfactory.
Mr.. Calvin's argument, II we are cor
rectly informed, is that he wants to have
banking law ready to go into immediate
operation as soon as the tax on state bank
circulation is repealed.
II he insists on having his bill passed
before the tax is repealed he will be able to
accomplish that object if he waits ultil the
next session of the legislature. In the
meantime he can give the subject thorough
study and will be aided by the discussion
of the question OF banking and bank cir
-
next twelve months.
We do not mean to say that Mr.. Calvin is
not on the right track, but it looks very
much as II he were wasting his time aud the
time OF the legislature with a matter that
can be handled to much better advantage
and much more intelligently year hence.

Change the Time of Congress
Meeting.
From tho Washington Post und.

FROM re WdsftflJton Posi- Uld.k
A newly chosen congress should not be al
lowed to pass out of memory before it assem-
bles. The duty il is called upon to discharge
should not be allowed to lie for more than a
year in abeyauce. The change can be made
without waiting upon the slow process OF con-
stitutional amendment. The constitution pre-
scribes in so many words that the congress
shall assemble at least once in every year, and
such meeting shall be on the first Monday in
december unless they shall by law appoint
different day." The Post would therefore sug-
gest that law be passed early In the coming
session appointing the first Monday after
March as the time for the meeting Of congress
in its first regular session. We believe that the
people would universally approve the change,
and that It would greatly expedite the public
business. IL would enable the dominant party
in congress 60 respond promptly TO the will OF
its constituents and to act upon important is
sues while they are yet alive,

The farmers who watched the progress of
the Hatch anti-options bill at the last session
of congress will regard it with much more
interest at this session. They have recently
seen IN the cotton market the advantage of
unhindered buying and selling for future
delivery. Gradually the farmers who have
Endorsed the bill are beginning to find out
that they were mistaken, and many of them
are demanding something better"

The amendment to the soldiers home bill,
introduced by Representative Guerard,
providing that the state shall never be called
upon to appropriate more than $15, 900 an
nually for the institution, is good one. If
the state is to become responsible for the
maintenance of the home care should be
taken to prevent the burden from becoming
so heavy as to create public sentiment
against the institution.

startling Rumors From Paris.

If this rumor should turn out to be true-that
a member Of the cabinet was with De Reinach
the night before his death burning papers-his
colleagues, nay. the president himself, cannot
escape grave suspicion. They may be innocent,
but the unreasoning part OF the public will be
sure to say the contrary. At any rate. these
startling revelations will add to the ignominy
of the fall of the ministry.

Division of the Democracy Suggested.

The talk about congress meeting in the
spring, organizing and then adjourniog is a
tribe premature. IF congress meets the time
when IL will adjourn is something no one can
predict. The new members viii have some
thing to say on that score. Stripped of all con-
cealment the proposition contemplates the re-
election of Speaker Crisp and the revision OF
the tariff by a committee to be named by HIM.
IL his new COMMITTEES did not do better than the
committee he appointed in the present congress
It would prove lamentable failure from any

Insurance Guerantee Deposits.

insurance Guarantee OSpOS1Ces
There appears to be a disposition on the
part OF the South Carolina executive and
legislature to model South Carolinas laws
after Gsorgia's and to govern their state
as this state is governed.
Generally speaking Gov. Tillman and his
followers could select no better standard,
for Georgia is the acknowledged leader of
southern states. At the same time they
should not indorse q law merely because ID
is on Georgia's statute books, nor endeavor
to pass a certain law because Georgia has
been enforcing one of the same kind,
for there are bad statutes on the books
Of this state as well a. any
other. The insurance law, requiring a de-
posit OF $25. 900 by insurance companies pre-
liminary to their engaging in business in
the state, is one Of the bad ones. This law
seems to have struck the Carolinians as a
very good thing. They are contemplating the
passing OF such law, except that they pro-
pose to make the guarantee deposit sos, 900
in state bonds.
That may be a clever way of floating a
part Of state debt, as appears to be part
of the purpose Of the Carolinians, but 1t is not
good way to secure cheap insurance for
people who have anything to insure.
or to induce the investment of
capital. 1t cuts of competition
in insurance and give a few of the
greater companies a monopoly of the busi-
ness at their own terms.
The MORNING NEWS has from time to
time called the attention of the people of
this state TO the advisability OF repeating
the $4,000 deposit law because of its
monopolistto tendencies. II the Carolinians
pass like law, double the amount of de-
posit required here and ego it S15, 900 bet
ter" they will wish they had not done
so before the law has been long in effect.
The Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., OF New
York, who recently killed a number of

His reason Is that the fish and game COM
mission at Albany has decided to prosecute
the case as a civil suit and collect, If possible,
penalty Of S25 for each bird. Mr.. Dixon
says he cannot pay it, aud will not be longer
prosecuted. The amount involved approxi-
mates 81, 900.

Too High Priced for George.

Washington's steward was man
named Eraunces. who liked good living
and with whom Washington contin-
ually quarreled about the marketing
One time he bought a shad in Feb
ruary, and as Washington saw it COM
ing into the dining-room he was
charmed and asked what fish 1t ."a1
1T is shad," replied the steward
"A very fine shad. tt was the only
one in the market and bought it for
you"
But what did you pay for it?" said
Washington, sternly.
1T is very fine shad, continued
the steward, ''and it is cooked to a
turn"
But l want to know the price-thc

out Fraunces.
Take it away" said Washin gton, as
he raised his hand: take 1T away II

example of luxury and extravaganza.
|. And with that he drove the steward
out of the room, and the shad was
eaten in the servants kitchen. Pitts

Material For Mattresses.

Cotton is doubtless one of the very
best materials for the construction of
bed mattresses 1t is a vegetable sub
stance and one can m AXE sure that 1t is
clean. 1t is soft enough for comfort to
one in health and it does not hold the
heat like any bed material into which
the body sinks more closely. Hair
which has beea thor oughly cleansed is
not really Objectionable, except that it
retains the heat of the body too much
and the tissues of the sides upon which
one lies are apt to be relaxed and will
become congested upon slight exposure,
thus resulting in cold. One should
depend upon bed covering for warmth
rather than downy bed. Sleeping or
a harl bed is an old-fashioned remedy
for some kinds of diseases, such a
obesity and other disorders which are
due to luxury. From a Lecture by Dr.
!. II, Kellogg.

Only too glad to leave the hateful
presence of their visitors, Mrs. Ewing
and Rachel mounted Il little ladder to
a small room over the kitchen.
Scarcely had they gained this retreat
when the sound of a horseman coming
up the rocky road of the bluff tell on

Looking from a SIN all window,
Rachel watched the newcomer dis

There was something very familiar

crouched, and inclining her ear she

The girl was silent, but the rich
crimson which suffused her cheeks told
Rigney he had hit the truth. He had
suspected it before, but hoped to get
ahead of his patriotic rival

Robert Wayland, an officer in the
colonial service with Washington, was
a handsome young man. gentle, manly
and possessing many excellent quail

he was very young and he had been
raised and educated by his grand
parents, who lived some six miles dis

1t had been Robert Wayland who
had brought them the first tidings of
