THE RAILROAD LAW.

Tie two laws passed at the re-
cent session of, the Legislature
which seem to have excited, to the
utmost the ire of the anti-admin-
istrationpapers are the Dispensary
law and the Wilson railroad law.
The first ramedw we have spoken OF
elsewhere. The Wilson railroad
law is almost the same law which
has been in force in Georgia fol
s some time and gives general salts
fact ion in thatlstate. The Atlanta
Journal says: ssThis lawhas work.
ed weH in Georgia and there is ' nc n
reason Whyit hould not be equally
az benefcial sins our sister astate.a
= s.lroasdiss inns sIaJes:: 4
The TORE Of oppos osition from
The railroads is what might have
been expected. A similar storm
attended the passage of the Geor-
gia law. But trial of the measure
has worked q wondrous change. II
has shown that regulation is a good
thing for the people and not a bad
thing for the roads. We predict
that a similar result will follow a
test of South Carolina's new statute
and that a few years hence the
people will be blessing Governor
Tillman for having signed the
bill.o
Now what safer or better guide
in the conduct of human affairs
than the experience of others? If
the Wilson railroad law is good in
Georgia, why not in South Caro-
lima? One member of our Legis-
lature in his swelling periods of
opposition to this law said that
<'the sovereign State of South
Carolina does not propose to take
her laws from the statnte books of
Georgia"-but it was very foolish
speech, for wisdom dictates that
good should be laid hold of with
hooks Of steel, no matter from what
quarter it comes. The railroads,
under the Wilson law, will not be
oppressed, but they will be made
to submit to reasonable and just
regulations.

THE RAILROAD TAX CASES

The railroad tax cases which.
have been pending in the courts
for more thansa year, were on last
Friday decided in favor Of the
State by. the Supreme court Of the
United States, Chief Justice Fuller
presiding. This will bring into
the treasury Of the State about
s1so,0oO, and is ayictory OF which
Gov. Tillman and his administra-
Etion. may be justly proud.
1t would seem that, in the face
of two such knocked arguments
as the decision in the Coosaw case
and this last decision in;the5 rail-
road cases, the opposition to Till
man along these lines ought TO
hide its diminished head and make
reparation by apologising for the
abuse, Of the last campaign on ac-
count of administrative acts which
have been declared just, right, and
legal by the highest authority on
the continent; but we do not hope
for any such ,atonement. The op-
position to Gov. Tillman is all the
more rancorous and bitter because
he has been sustained by such higt
and, as this world goes, immutablt
authority, yet, perhaps, the people
will hereafter delight to have re
s embered these things-forsaase

the celebration on the fifth day of the
month of the boys festival. 1t ii
called Nobori-no-sekku, festival o.

boys during the past seven years, rlset
tall bamboo pole, from the top o.
which nre flung to the breeze gigantic
made OF paper or wovc1
stutis in brilliant colors, one for every
son. This particular fish il chosen fol
symbol because it swims stoutly
against stream, and even up rapids.
lpnping cascades to the higher waters.
This implies that the boys in like man
ncr must be sturdy and indomitable,
stemming courageously the stormy
currents of life's stream. Flags alsc
are raised before the houses, bearing
pictures of the Chinese mythical hero
Shoki, as an example of strength ano
bravery. Weapons, nrmor and pic
lures of heroes and horses are chosen
for the decoration OF the tokonoma
the slightly raised platform which it
the place OF honor in every living
room.
The flower held in highest favor fol
this festival is the iris: but n kind oi
early chrysanthemum, and nparticulal
variety of bamboo, called moso-chiku
are also used Bundles of reeds ant
mugwort are fastened to the projecting
roofs of the houses on this day. So
