pointed. 1t must be presumed that he Is
fully competent-indeed there is the best evil
dence that he is. The passage OF this bill as
amended by the Senate strikes at the judg-
ment OF the President in making the appoint
ment of Mr.. Benedict. / am not caring SO
much about that, because the President has
given US the best evidence that he is able to
take care Of himself [laughterl, but 1t strikes
at his judgment in this-that 1t prac-
tically declares that he did not select COM
petent man for the position Of Public Printer,
or that he has selected a man incompetent 10
perform the duties OF the office, and therefore
this joint committee must come In with ad-
visory powers, to tell the Public Printer what
his duties are and how to perform them, thus
interfering, legislatively. with what is purely
an executive function"
The debate continued upon section 45 OF
tho Dill, where provision is made In the
amendment OF the Senate that there shall be
appointed by the Public Printer-with the ap-
proval OF the Joint Committee on Printing
the employees named in the rest OF the section.
Mr.. RIcHARDsoN-Isa said that was opposed
to this provision. am opposed to it because
some gentlemen seem to think the Committee
on Printing wants to increase its own power.
have never wanted that sort of power.
But there are reasons why these officers
should be somewhat subject to the Committee
on Printing. The House will remember that
this officer Is called the Congressional
Printer" and is so named in the Revised Stat
utes. The object of the law is to bring him
as nearly as possible under the control OF
Congress; and that / apprehend is the only
reason why this provision has the form in
which we find it. But think the committee
OF the Senate made a mistake In recommend
ing that particular phraseology.
The matter finally terminated by the House
acceding to the Senate's request for confer
ence.

SAD AND soRROWFUL.

When We read of United States Senator
and the Governor OF the proud State of South
Carolina Safeguarding each other on the
stump and hurting billingsgate at each other
like a couple of fishwives, we may be per-
mitted to nurture gentle doubt that in re-
spect of conducting campaigns we have i'm
proved upon the methods of our forefathers.
1t is true, fortunately that coarse personalities
on the hustings are not quite as frequent as
they used to be. Politicians are beginning TO
understand that the people look with disgust
and disapprobation upon ebullitions of this
sort. Even in the South, where this kind of
campaigning crops out oftener than any
where else, save. perhaps, in the far West, it
is happily more the exception than the rule,
and for this reason the conduct of Senator
Butler and Gov Tillman stands forth all the
more in unpleasant relief.
There are in all sooth important issues
enough now engaging the attention of the
people to furnish ample material for serious
discussion by two men who each aspire to
the dignity and honor OF representing his
State in the United States Senate Questions
OF great moment, upon which hinge national
prosperity-to say nothing of the lesser,
but yet grave importance of party for
tunes-confront the people, questions that
affect the national credit, national commerce,
national prestige. Yet in the midst of all
these Senator Butler, who prides himself upon
his descent from the cavaliers and Ben Till
man, who claims to stand for the sturdy
masses of the common people, can find moth
ing better to do than to call one another liars
and squabble about official or unofficial
whisky. Shades OF Hayne and Calhoun, how
has the once mighty Palmetto State fallen,
Some of these days the people-even the
people of South Carolina-will come to the
conclusion that it will be- to their advantage
to be represented in the councils of the nation
by men other than lawyers or professional
farmers. above all, other than professional
politicians. They will learn that their inter-
ests are safer in the hands of men habituated
to the transaction of business in a business
like way; men who may not be facile of
tongue and adopts at fiinging forth high
sounding phrases or low Trades, as the case
may be, but who have proper regard for the
nation, the State, the people, and-them-
selves.

The Times Will Give Money for Adjourn.
mcnt Predictions.
For weeks past the newspapers have pro-
phesied and the general public have antici-
pated the adjournment Of Congress, and the
consequent reinsurance in the industrial and
commercial life OF the country.
These prophesies and expectations have
not been realized and the lame impotency of
the peoples representatives to pass import-
ant legislation daily grove more serious to
the welfare of the nation.
THE TIMES offers first prize Of els and a
second prize of $40 to the person guessing
respectively closest and next closest to the
minute of the hour Of the day, when, ac-
cording to the official record. the House of
Representatives shall adjourn for the present
session.
Fill out the following blank and mail It to
The TIMES Prize Editor. You can guess as
many times as you have TIMES. No blanks
will be received at THE TIMES office except
through the mails.

THE ASSESSMENT BILL.

The House bill providing for a permanent
board of assessors for the District of Column
bia, which has already passed the House and
was favorably passed upon by the Senate Dis
trict Committee yesterday. is one of the most
important measures for the welfare ofthe peo-
pie of Washington that has been considered
at this session of Congress. The amendments
added by the Senate committee, the principal
OF which reduced the salary to $1,000 and in
creased the term of Office from three years TO
four years. were both wise, especially the lat
ter, which will give the assessors one year
after their second assessment in 1899, for re-
visions and appeals before they go out OF
Office.
The general need for proper revision of
real estate appraisals for the District is unde-
niable. The cases of unjust differences are
many, and it is absolutely impossible that
they should be avoided under the present
anomalous system 1t is the custom in most
cities 10 revise assessments each year. or, at
least. to allow the assessors to do so. if in
their judgment it be necessary. Washington
can get along very well with a three-year ap-
praisal, and the proposed law, which begins
such a system in 1896, is to be welcomed.
We trust the Senate vii, not leave this
measure unacted on, but pass the bill and lot
It become law before adjournment.

OF value was found 1t was carried to a tenn
porary storeroom over the blacksmith's shop.
A great many books and some valuable arti-
cles were recovered. Most of the books
found belonged to the library of Rev. Dr.
Hamlin. Some were badly burned. many
were only scorched slightly, and some had no
