A spirited debate on the general subject
of the payment of claims found to be due
against the United States was INDUCED
by the House on the 10Th during the con
sideration Of the general deficiency appro-
priation bill. Mr. Richardson of Tennessee
had called attention to the inconsistency of
an item TO pay the costs of defending suits
and the fact the bill contained no item to
pay, the judgments. This furnished Mr.
ly speech against the 'niggardly' and
dishonest" policy of the government, an0
q severe arrangement of the committee on
rules for the tyranny it was said to exer-
else over the proceedings
The House spent the day on the Goth in
the discussion Of the general deficiency bill
which was not finished. There was a warm
debate oyer an amendment by Mr.. Hopkins
of Illinois to take out the item of $4,000
to pay members Of the Fifty-thrd Congress
for amounts withheld from their salaries
for absences in accordance with a rule adopt
ed by that Congress Mr.. Hopkins said
that Speaker Crisp had enforced the rule to
hold quorum and Democrats should not

claims that a great body of voters were
unconstitutionally excluded from vot-
ing. End: That the State Constitution
was illegally formed by reason that
bodies of electors were refused regis
tration and that thus we have not in
the State a republican form Of govern
ment as guaranteed by the constitu-
tion OF the United States.
1t is a republican conspiracy out and

bate may be precipitated and the ac-
ton is no doubt intended to affect the
sitting democratic members from this
State and other democratic States.

Claiming Too Much.

THE Charleston Post claims that it
was alone among the in
South Carolina in saying intentionally
that Judge Earle would win the race
in the primary for United States Sena-
tor. The Post did most excellent service
along this line in Charleston, and was
largely influential in bringing out q
fair vote in that town, but our friend is
a little off in claiming that it stood alone
among the newspapers when it came to
an ulalterable faith in Judge Earle's
success. Certainly there was never q
time when the editor of the Mountain
eer, publicly or privately, failed to as
sert that Earle would be nominated for
the United States Senate, and while
the Post may be nearly right, it should
admit that there were others. The
Pee Dee Advocate was q staunch be-
lever in Earle's success, but the Post
may not be abiding to otheas than the
daily newspapers which cut q very
poor figuac in the first primary
Greenville Mountaineer.
There is a good deal in the claim OF
the Mountaineer.
We beg to add that there was an
awful silence in the Press generally
pending the gentle breeze stirring, up
on the said contest last summer, and
that silence was louder than all the
thundcrs and had a deal Of electric
fluid behind it. 1t was a case Of signif-
cant but eloquent silence, with squirt,
frown, and grimace, and contortion, and
face making that would put old Rossius
eve to the blush.

OUR TOWNS AND VILLAGES.
What Traveller saw and Experienced in
"A Number of Them.


"A Number of Them.
Recently the writer of this has travelled
in several of the Middle States and has
seen a number of towns and villages and
many long stretches of country road. 1t
would seem a libelous extravaganza to
say that not one street IN ten and not
one road in twenty and not one farm
fence in thirty was in order, but with
due respect to our own proper pride, the
statement is well within the facts. OF
the good-roads movement nothing need
be said here, because enough is being
said in countless places, and with such
slow effect that we almost begin to feel
that the statesman who said it took Eng
land forty years to carry out reform
after she saw the full neces sity for it
might twist his words to fit his kinsmen
on this side of the sea. For several gen
erations the solemn ibtellects of our
state Legislators in all the states have
been weighed down with the problem
of how to fence in stock without build
ing fences and the persuasive agents who
deal in cOntrivances of wire warranted
to outlast eternity have complicated the
situation in more ways than one, but
the general effect has been the same
the decay and the Generalization of the
fence. There are in the United States
about five million farms, but it might be
a rash thing to say that two hundred
thousand of them were surrounded by
fences kept in good repair and present
ing an agreeable appearance.
But the most deplorable condition is
that of the average town or village,
where the opportunities for beauty are
so numerous and where they are so often
neglected. 1t is almost impossible to
make an American city acceptable from
an artistic standpoint because the diff
ticultieS are so innumerable; at best it
will take century or two to achieve
anything satisfactory, but we can catch
our towns and villages young and thus
train them from the start. The main
obstacle is the general lack of cO-opera-
ton. There are village Improvement
schemes and elaborate plans by land
scape men and architects, but, except in
instances, they are so complicated or so
costly as to be fOrbidding to the small
populations: Tor almost everybody who
owns home lives pretty close to his
income and fights shy of an extra eX-
penditure. Our observation from scat
tered cases is that the village improve
mem movement which really improves
and keeps on improving is the one that
begins in a single meeting of the prop
erty owners. They get together and talk
matters over.
When there is interest in improving
and beautifyng towns and villages the
owners of homes will keep them inn
proved and beautiful. After all, the
sentiment of a community is pretty well
expressed in its ply steal condition. and
when carelessness is written all over a
settlement it is Il place which wise
people avoid. 1t is so easy to correct
these evils, and the results are so protita-
bic and flr-reaching. that crusade for
town and village Improvement ought to
be one of the GROWING achievements
of the century.-Leslie's Weekly.

VERMoNr's STONE INDUSTRY.

The United States Geological Survey
has Just issued book of statistical in
formation entitled The Stone Industry

work we CLEAN the following facts con-
