UillLiye and Win.

Congressman Holman, of Indianbt
who for many years has had his watch
full eye on national appropriations,
not only repudiates the idea that the
Democratic party has been killed by
the recent Republican triumph, d ut
regards its future as bright. He says
that the Democratic party has lived a
hundred years and will continue to live
so long as popular government exists.
In time to come its name may be
changed or it may possibly be reor-
ganized, but its principles are vital and
imperishable, and twill be alive when
other parties have faded from the
memory of man. But Mr. Holman is
not content with denying the demise
of Democray. He declares it is sure
to win in the next national election
and carries the war into Africa by de-
claring that it is the Republican party
that is in danger Of the graveyard. He
says the Republican party will be wea-
ker in two years from now, probably,
than at any time in its history. 1t
may last few years longer, he said,
but it is bound to 60 to pieces by the
close of the century. 1t will 90 out of
existence. he thinks, as the Wing par
tv did. Its corner stones are protec-
ton and spending government,
which are synonymous Cor public eX-
travagance. In commenting on the
above the Augusta Chronicle says to
those weak kneed Democrats who have
lost their nerve because Of the recent
overthrow these cheering words Of the
old watch dog Of tho Treasury should
give new heart.

Senator Batter Speaks.

WASHINGTON. Dec 19.-Speaking Of
the South Carolina election laws and
OF his course in appealing to the courts
to test their validity, Senator Butler,
of South, Carolina, said this morning:
The story, for a beginning, goes
back to a period twelve years ago,
when shrewd lawyers constructed and
caused to be enacted system of regis
tration and election laws calculated
solely for the purpose of preventing
even the remotest possibility of negro
domination. of which at that time the
people of the South were very much
afraid, under existing Federal election
laws.
1T put all elections in the State
practically under the control of the
State machine. and things, went just
the way the machine said Of course
we all acquiessed in these laws for
many years, for no one seemed to
think there was any harm in them:
To tell you the truth, I never read
them or knew what was in them until
very recently.
The people generally were very
we'll satisfied with this arrangement
of affairs, and for years things ran
along very smoothly-until the Till
NANTES, 50 called, got hold Of the ma
chine. Now it is charged that although
acting strictly under the lawthey have
disfranchised 10000 white voters and
elected Tillman to the Senate.
My term expires on the 4th OF
March next, and I shall never be a
candidate again for any political office:
But am interested in the peace and
good order of the State. and say to
YOU, just so sure as these laws remain
unchanged shotsuns will play prom
inent part in future political cam
paigns and voters will walk through
blood to the ballot boxes. That is why
| am interested in the matter at the
present time. Nobody knew how bad
these laws were until the workings OF
the last campaign caused the people to
study them. They are so clearly un-
constitutional that there can be no
!! doubt whatever as to the result I be-
lieve the Supreme Court Of the State
| will so decide.
Il presume Tillman will come here
to take his seat on the 1st of next,De-
| cember, and the question of constltu-
tionality may then have not been de-
| cided by the highest tribunal of the
land. In that case it is my belief that
the Senate itself would have the right
to decide as to whether the Legislature
that had chosen the Senator was con-
| stit1ltinnal hndC or not

Small Riot.

ST. LOUIS. Dec. ia miniature
riot broke out in the court of Criminal
Correction at noon today. William
Wright. negro, had just been dis
charged on a charge OF misdemeanor,
and was leaving the court room. Of
ficers attempted to arrest him on
another charge when his friends, be-
lieving that he was a victim of police
persecution. resisted and attempted to
release the prisoner. a furious strug-
gle ensued. during which clubs were
freely used and reyolvers drawn. The
surged back and forth
through the room overturning desks
and chairs, and it was necessary to
ring for reinforcements from police
headquarters before the row was
quelled. A prominent attorney mar
rowly escaped death from pistol shot
by officer Dewar. AS a result of the
riot SIX persons were badly injured
and two detectives have been suspenn-
ID from the force pending an investi-
cation.

motive; no one makes money out Of
it. He appealed to the Senators to
give the little asked.
ssAlr Mayfeld continued that as it was
not State institution and the State
owned none of the grounds or build
ings it was an individual fair and the
money asked for was to assist private
enterprise.
Mr.. Watson: "a public enter.
prise"
Mr.. Mayfeld: "Sois every county
fair in the State and they are of more
benefit to the young men Of the State
as they are more easily and cheaply
visited. To appropriate funds for pri-
vate purposes is robbing the people"
The amendment was laid on the ta-
bic by the following vote:
Yeas-Brice, Brown, Dennis, Der

rison, Jordan, Mayfeld. McCalla, Nc

Governor Tillman thinks the Con-
stitutional Convention should not be
held before September He takes the
position that by that time there would
be restoration of better feeling and
that the Convention would be made
up of non-partison zen. who We're not
smarting under political prejudlces:
1t is probable that the view is shared
by others. Senator Irb..' on this mat
ter thinks that the leaders OF the fac
tions in each county shouldagree upon
an apportionment of representation
upon basis of the relative strength OF
each faction in the county. That IS,
if at any primary or otherwise 1t IS
shown that there are 1000 Reformers
in county against 1000 ConvServa-
tives, the representation should stand
four reformers to two Conservatives
where a county is entitled to six dele
gates. There Will have to be some TN
derstanding on the matterand it would
probably be better than going through
a fight. If there is TO be any campaign
ing on the matter twill very probably
be during the month of August.

Mr. Watson moved to make the
board consist of the Governor, Secre-
ta-y of State and State Treasurer.
His amendment was tabled by vote
of IS to Il, and Senator Edrds amend
ment then adopted.
Mr.. Finley then moved to amend by
requiring each marshal and police
man appointed under the bill to give
bond in the sum of $1,000, with sure
ties approved by the police board of
his city.
Mr.. Wilson said that was entirely
unusual; no politician evergave bond.
Mr.. Finley rejoined thatit was not
unusual. In one town in his own
county the policeman was required to
give bond. Aspolice appointed under
this Act will only be responsible to
the Governor, and will not be respon
sfble to the local authorities, they
ought to be made to give bond.
Mr.. Wilson urged that the same pro-
cess of reasoning would require the
giving Of bonds BY Trial Justices.
Mr.. Finley,s amendment was then
tabled
Eloquent speeches against the bill
were made by Senator Norris. Watson,
Finley. Barnwell. Buist, Sloan and
others. while Senators Wilson, May

WASHINGTON. Dec Ex-senator
Butler. of South Carolina, has out
witted his successor, Governor Till
man. and Senator Allen, the Populist
from Nebraska, who were applicants
for the desk of the senior Senator
from South Carolina, in the front
row on the Democratic side of the
chamber. AS soon as it became prob
able that Senator Butler would be de-
feated for reelection to the Senate by
his hated rival, Governor Tillman,
there was a lively scramble for the
very desirable seat, which is located
Immediately in front Of the Vice-Pres-
idcnt's chair between Senator'S Morgan
and Cockrell. Senator Allen and
Governor Tillman both wanted the
desk. and there are other Senators
WHO now have rear seats. who cast
longing eyes in the direction of the
desk which Senator Butler has occu-
pied for so many years. Within the
past week Senator Jones, of Arkansas.
has been occupying the seat of the
South Carolina Senator, While the
latter has moved his personal effects
to the desk formerly used by the Ar
kansas Senator in the front row, but
away around to the extreme right Of
the presiding officer. 1t appears that,
in order to prevent Populist or a
Tillmanite from getting the much
coveted seat, Senator Butler and Sen
ator Jones exchanged seats. AS the
time draws near for Senator Butler to
relinquish his membership in the Sen
ate it becomes more difficult for him
to conceal his modification that Till
man is to succeed him. It is probable
that Senator Butler will leave Wash
ington for the holidays and he may
not return to Washington again
while the present session Of Congress
lasts. His wife is in poor health, and
he may decide to pass the winter at
his home in Edpetield.

THE CARLISLE BANKING BILL.
Views Of the Majority of the Committee
Favorable to the Measure.

WASHINGTON, Dec. LIT is under
stood that the Carlisle banking bill
will not be voted upon before the hol-
iday recess. 1t will probably be taken
up in a day or two and discussed un-
til the holiday adjournment and the
vote on its passage taken some time,
after the reassembling in January. 1t
is thought almost impossible TO hold a
voting quorum in Washington until
the discussion has been concluded, and
for this reason the postponement will
probably be agreed to by the friends
of the measure
The committee, the majority report
says, are Ct the opinion that a security
to the full amount Of the circulating
notes issued isno longer necessary for
the safety of the notes An exhaustive
argument is made to demonstrate that
if the proposed bill had been in force
during the crisis of 1898, if all the
banks had heretofore taken out circu-
lation to the max ,lum amount allow
ed by law, and If the failed banks
had also taken out their maximum
circulation, the guarantee and safety
funds would have been ample for the
payment of the entire circulation Of
the outstanding notes and would have
left surplus of over 81, 600, 0G0 still
in the safety fund without the necess
ity. even IN great crisis Of that kind
of making any assessment Oh the re-
sources OF the other national banks.
The report contends that If the pro-
vision of the bill relating to State
banks be observed, it viii throw
around the State bank circulation the
most essential safeguard which are
provided for the national currency. II
they be not observed, the ten per cent.
tax will be imposed and the notes will
be suppressed The conclusions Of the
committee as reflected in the report are
thus briefly epitomized:
II the proposed bill should bccomea
law, it will provide for safe. sutti-
cient and flexible currency. The bond
security required for national bank
notes makes lexibility very difficult,
if not impossible The proposed bill
requires that the secretary shall keep
on hand blank notes which
can be issued at any time
to any amount which may be
required by business conditions within
the limit of the calculations permitted
under the bill. Thus, provision is also
made for retiring notes promptly when
the banks may desire to do so, and as
the outstanding notes will be taxed
one-haf Of one per cent per annum
and as the banks taxing them will be
deprived of 80 per cent ntthereof in legal
tendernote there will be an induce
ment to retire the circulation when 1t
is not needed and at the same time an
inducement to take out circulation
when business conditions require it.

A Slander RefUted.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 1S.-In the
debate on the metropolitan police bill
in the Senate yesterday, Senator May
field, of Barnwell, said that he had
been informed that secret instructions
had been given to the police of the city
of Columbia not to report any vlolat-
ors of the dispensary law upon penalty
of immediate dismissal from the force.
Mayor Sloan. who was present dur
ing the debate, felt that SO serious a
charge from such source should be
promptly refuted. He therefore gave
instructions to Chief DAILY to assemble
the entire police force Of the city in
the city clerks office at ( p. M. At
that hour the men all appeared, and
upon being formed in line, were briefly
informed BY the mayor of the charge
that had been made by Senator May
field on the floor of the Senate cham
Der. He then read over them the af-
fdavit which appears below, and ask
ed if they We're all willing to swear to
It. Each man promptly responded
ives" and they were accordingly
sworn by Notary Public G. NJ. Douglas
The affidavit is as follows:

JUDGES AND PASSES.
chief Justice Horton Says an Anti .
Pass Law
SHOULD BE ENACTED At ONCE
Buc 1t Must BE General In Its Char
acter-hem of the Legislature
Not Paid Enough


Not Paid Enough
Chief Justice Albert H Horton Of the
Kansas supreme court, says he sees no
excuse for the railroads issuing free
passes to any public official
In speaking of this matter to a STATE
JOURNAL reporter, Judge Horton said:
"N hen l was mem Der of the Legislature
/ introduced an anti pass bill which /
then believed should have become q law.
although the use of passes had not be-
come as general, as now. l still believe
my idea was the correct one
AN anti pass bill to become effective
should be general and should prohibit
the use of passes not only by the judi
ciary, but by every public official. I fail
to see why the governor or attorney gen
eral should be given passes any more
than a Judge. and my bin prohibited any
public officer, of either, state, county or
city acce pting or using a railroad pass,
and provided that the violation of the
provisions of the bill should be con
sldered a misdemeanOr and punishable
by a fine Of not less than 500 nor more
than $500"
When asked what he thought the leg
islature would do about an anti-pass bill,
Judge Horton said 1T is hardly to be
expected that the members of the legis-
lature viii pass law which will cut of
their own railroad passes, which a gen
eral pass law would 90, ana Tor tnaE rea-
son only 1 believe it is hardly likely that
an anti-pass law will be enacted.
aA bout the only compensation a mem
Der Of the legislature now gets is his
railroad passes aud it can hardly be ex-
pected that the members will cut off
their own income as long as their sala-
ries are so small For my part, 1 have
for years thought We should pay our
members of the legislature more, as what
they now receive barely pays their board
during the session. My opinion is that
each member of the legislature should
be paid a salary of $500 a year.
~An anti-pass law would be a whole
some thing if il should be made general
in character"
