Did you ever hold o watch and see
for how many seconds you could keep
a stream of air flowing into yonr
lungs7 If not, make the test. and
you will find that no matter how small
the stream you cannot keep it con-
stantly flowing in for more than fifteen,
twenty, or possibly thirty seconds; but
if you will try two or three times each
day you can double the time within
two weeks. The boy or girl who will
try this and keep it up regularly for q
year. will not be likely to die Of con-
sumption, and should they ever become
public speakers or singers they will be
very thankful that they commenced
when young to take ''luug baths -
Harper's Young People. in speaking
about breathing, says: Ibid you ever
think Of taking lung bath ? Ones
lungs need cleansing as surely as do
the hands and face. This is especially
true after one has been in crowded
ball or church. breathing in so many
impurities. How can one take lung
bath ? By simply drawing deep
breath and then expel!ing the air from
the lungs. You will feel wonderfully
refreshed thereby and the general
health will be improved" /"

There was one remarkable statement
in the otherwise commonplace inaugu-
raj address of the new governor of
South Carolina. It was that in which
he declared that the aristocracy Of land
and money in that state has been sue
ceeded by the aristocracy of brains.
This came with becoming mcdesty
from the man who is the head Of the
present South Carolina state govern
ment and presumably, therefore,. the
ideal illustration of brains as contrasted
with the meaner aristocracy of land and
money.
It is unfortunate for Mr.. John Gary
Evans that nobody except himself has
ever held him up as an exemplar of the
supreme greatness of South Carolina.
There is on record a list Of illustrious
men who have been governors of South
Carolina and they afford strange COM
mentary on the assertion that they rep
resented the aristocracy of land aud
money, while the head of the present
regime stands for the aristocracy Of
brains. The contrast is quite as strlk-
ingly shown by South Carolioa's choice
Of senators. Where Calhoun sat We
now see Irby and the chair of Hayue

The Metropolitan Police
Law.
What is Said About it in Other
States.
[Atlanta Constitution.l

1t is impossible to read the debate
on the metropolitan police bill with.
out coming to the conclusion that
South Carolina is in danger of some
of the worst evils of factional strife.
Many of the cities and towns are
determined never to submit to the
h-handed rule of metropolitan
police" They see that the proposed
law means the destruction of local
self-governmeut, and Senator Wat
son, strong TilIman man, voiced
their sentiments when he denounced
the bill, saying that if he lived in a
city he would advocate rebellion, and
that all freemen and good citizens
should be on that line. He went on
to say that Calhoun was for war in
1882 for less cause, and that the
police bill would have the effect of
bringing all good citizens and liquor
men together on the side of self:
government.
II the effort to force a foreign
police upon the cities and towns of
the state is persisted in, there will be
open revolt in the Palmetto State,
and it requires no prophet to predict
that there will be bloodshed.
Governor Tillman knew just how
far it was safe to stretch his authority,
but the present Legislature seems to
have gone wild
Under the new regime our sister
state seems to be under the rule of
those whom the gods have made mad
as preliminary to their destruction.
The patchwork, crazy quilt of their
Legislation is without parallel in this
country. There must be change
for the better very soon or there will
be an exodus of the better class Of
citizens, as there was in Kansas last
year, when the people felt that life
was not worth living under the rule
of cranks
In the main, the South Carolinians
are the truest, best and most patriotic
of Americans. They love their
native state, but they will never live
under despotism worse than that OF
the reconstruction era. Before they
will submit they will seek homes
elsewhere, and they could not do a
wiser thing if the present reign of
discord is to continue

Wilmington Star. ].

The metropolitan police bill which
passed the Senate of South Carolina
Tuesday is aa~extraordinary measure,
the result of which will be, if il
become the law, that the State will
have practical control of every town
in the State of 1000 population or
more. This is not only an extraor-
dinary but revolutionary measure.
There is not State in the Union in
which the towns and cities have not
the control Of their police as a neces-
sary part of the machinery of their
local government, and it is only in
times of actual insurrection or of
uncomfortable mob violence that any
other power has been invoked, or
undertook to interfere with muni-
cipal governments, and then this
invoked power generally acts in con-
junction with the constituted civil
authorities. This act overrules
municipalities, and places one of the
most important pieces of the NUM-
cipal machinery, that which preserves
law and order and protects property
and life, under the control of par.
tisan board, which knows little about
the towns or their needs in that
respect aud cares less. And this is
all that an odious law which should
never have been passed may be
enforced to the notion of those who
passed it

Mr.. Gary then offered resolution
that the House appreciated the distin-

fdence in his ability and integrity. and
requested him to reconsider bis resigoa.
ton This was adopted unanimously
and conveyed to Mr.. Jones through

few minutes they returned with him.
and as he eitered the hall he was re-
ceived With loud applause. in which the

Upon resuming the chair. Speaker
Jones said that he appreciated the great
honor they had done him in recalling
him to the chair, and he felt very
deeply this expression of their kind
feelings. He had felt that the vote oo
the passage of Mr.. Cooper's resolution
offered under the peculiar circum-
stances vas vote of want OF
confidence, for which the rules Of the

had never known one such passed in

The House did not succeed in doing
very much work on Saturday, but the
day was not without interest. for dur.
ing the night session Speaker Jones
vas insul.ed by vote that indicated a
waat of confidence in him and he re-
signed bis seat aud left the hall.
The State gives the following aacoun,
Of the incident:
The majority Of the House wants q
$5 per diem for this session, claiming
that the salary reduction bill should not
affect them if it did not affect the State
officers. The Senate and a minority Of
the House favor a. 81 per diem, and to
adjnst the differences between the two
Houses conferences committee vas ap-
pointed. On the part of the House
Speaker Jones appointed at the moro-
ing session Messrs Breazeale, Thomas
aud Whitmire. and at The night session
this committee recommended an agree
meet With the Senate. This report did
DOT suit the So men and they claimed
that it did oot.refect the sentiment of
the majority of the House. aud Mr..
Cooper, of Golleson, offered 8 motion
shas the House proceed under rule Is
to elect committee Messrs. Bra
zsale, Thomas, Wiokler and one or
two others opposed the motion as a slap
at the Speaker, or one that might be so
construed, even If not so Intended by
the mover. The motion of Mr.
Cooper vas put and carried by vote
Of As to A, and then followed one Of
the most sensational incidents of the
session. Pending the announcement
Of she vote Speaker Jones had called
Mr.. Breazeale to the chair and when
the vote was announced, he as ouce
stepped ont on the floor. and in clear.
ringing voice. said ]: .'Mr. Speaker.
have the honor to tender my resigDa-
ton as Speaker Of this House.
The scene that for few moments
followed this announcement baffled de-
scription. For moment there was a
dead silence and then Mr.. Bacot. ad-
dressing the temporary presiding officer.
said: "Mr. Speaker. I move that this
House do refuse to accept the Speakers
resignation" The motion was put and
carried unanimously, and the voice oi
Speaker Jones vas heard sgaiu. deelar-
ing that he would no longer serve as
Speaker, sod = moment or two later be
retired from the hall. Then for few
moments there was scene of confusion
and the Hcase did not seem to know
what to DO IN the dilemma that con-
fronted It. Some half dozen OF so
moved that the House take 3 recess for
fifteen minuses, bat this wse voted
down. Mr.. Thomss moved to reconsider
