luton providing for an investigation Of
the charges that Senators have been

Columbia, S. G., June 2.--For time
today it looked as though this city
would be the scene of one OF the most
horrible tragedies ever Witnessed.
A few minutes after o'clock fire was
discovered in the laundry Of the State
Insane asylum, where nearly 1000
patients are confined.
The local appliances were unable to
cope with the flames and the general
alarm was rung.
The flames had gained much head.
way before the arrival OF the engines,
however, and the laundry, cletric and
heating plants were all lost.
The main building was saved only by
heroic efforts.
Meanwhile the attendants had q
horrible experience controlling the
patients.
Several hundred were walking in the
grounds when the fire commenced and,
panic stricken, they would have broken
away but for the heroic efforts OF the
authorities.
at one time it was feared that a
lynching would result from an attack
of two ncgroc attendants on Fire Chief
May.
They had been placed rs scn'incls to
keep the crowd out Of the laundry and
refused to admit the lircmen, one Of
tVcm striking the chief with IL bucket
when he tried to force his way in.
The superintendent aud police had
to smugglc them away to save them
from the crowd. They were put IN the
county jail for safe keeping. A fire.
man aud policeman were overcome
by heat and both may die.

good in regulating the liquor trntlic.
There was objection to the preamble,

proposed Il substitute emitting all the
preamble and simply directing the
judiciary committee to consider the re.
port, by bin or otherwise, what lcgis-
latiOn, II any, is necessary to carry out

So long as labor produces wealth II
produce a. all; and this part, whether
1t is little or much, we call wages. But
land is as necessary to the production
OF wealth as labor is, and if it can be
withheld from labor when labor re-
quires it, he who has the power to with
hold it may take part of the product;
this part we call rent. Any further
division of wealth is subdivision,
either of wages or rent, which are the
two grand divisions in the distribution.
A captain of industry may get large
share of wealth, and skilled laborer a
small share; but each will take his
share from wages, not from rent. The
owner of rich mining privilege may
get large share of wealth, and the
owner Of small area of farming land
or village building lot may get a
small share, but each will get rent. In
terest is subdivision of wages; it is
the wages of capital. 1t excludes
all compensation for risk and all
compensation for current labor, but
includes all returns for the use of cap
ital, and not merely those returns that
pass from borrower to lender. Thus
the factor in production which we call
land is represented in distribution by
the element Of wealth which We call
rent; the factor in production which
we call labor is represented in distri-
button by the element which we call
wages; and the sub-factor in produc-
ton, which we call capital, is repre-
sented in distribution by the subdivis-
ion of wages, which we call interest.

Utility is an absolute term, express
ing the inherent quality of usefulness.
Value is a relative term, expressing
the result of a comparison, for purposes
Of trade, of one thing with another or
with all others. Price is also a rela-
tive term, expressing the result of a
comparison, for purposes of trade, of
anything with money. The relative
terms, value and price, always have
correlatives; the absolute term, util-
ity, has none. We may say of guam
tity Of wheat that it has utility, be-
be planted and caused to produce more
wheat, thus satisfying human wants;
that it has value, because people to
get will trade other things for it, and
that it has price, because people will
buy it with money. So we may say
of a slave that he has utility, because,
like machine, he can be made to pro-
duce wealth; that he has value, because
his power Of producing future wealth
can be traded for present wealth by
trading him, and that he has price,
because he can be traded for money.
Or of a lot of land, that 1t has utility,
because 1t will support the foundations
Of a dwelling; that it has value, be-
cause 1t can be traded for present
wealth; and that 1t has price, because
1t can be traded for money. 1t will be
seen that utility and value are the pri-
mary terms, price merely expressing
value in terms Of money. A thing may
have the highest degree of utility and
yet have neither value nor price; or
1t may have a great value and high
price, and yet have very little utility.
Nothing has greater utility than the
sun; but it has no value, because 1t
can not be traded for anything else;
nor any price, because no money can
buy it. For the same reasons the open
sea, which. has great utility, has Meth
err value nor price. On the other hand,
diamonds, though their utility is slight,
have a great value and command a
high price. And anything, whether it
belongs to the class wealth, as house,
to the class land, as building lot;
or to the class labor, as slave, may
at once have utility, value and price,

WASHING A FINE ART.

"Ever since spinning was type OF
womanly industry from age to age, it has
been expected that beautiful apparel should
clothe women. From the classic robes Of
Aspasia to the rich dresses of Elizabeth,
and thence to the wedding gown of Pur-
itan Priscilla we see the attractiveness Of
dress" But at this time only has it be-
come possible for all women to be becom-
ingly attired at a small cost, the supply Of
beautiful inexpensive dress fabrics now to
pe had, making it an easy matter. Yet
there are women who insist that the ex-
pense of having summer gowns laundered
is greater than the original cost, and that
in the end light woolens or summer silks
are more economical. This is a mistaken
idea, as washing pretty belongings is fine
art, which is very easy to learn. Any girl
no matter how delicately reared can wash
her own summer gowns. A bright day,
plenty of water, and little pure soap are
the necessary aids in the work. To do it,
fill tub two-thirds full of warm water,
dissolve fourth of cake of Ivory Soap,
(Which will not fade the most delicate
colors), add it to the water wash the gar
ments carefully through it, rinse first in
clear water, then in blue water, wiring,
dip in thin starch, hang on the line in the
shade. When dry, sprinkle, and iron on
the wrong side. Eliza r. Parker.

About "velvet."

Money is a common medium of trade.
1t is not one form of wealth, but an or
der upon the community redeemable in
any form which the possessor of the
money demands. When money is in
use. whoever wants to trade hat for
shoes need not find some one who has
shoes and also wants hat; all that
he need do is to find some one who has
money, but prefers hat, and then to
find some one who has shoes. but pre-
fers money. And since the people who
want money, which as common me-
dunn of trade is in effect anything in
the circle of trade, are SO many as COM
pared with those who at given time
want shoes, money infinitely dimin-
ishes the difficulties of trading.
Money is also common denomina-
tor of values. Without it we should
be compelled to express the value of
each thing in the terms Of all other
things. We should have to say, for
example, that hat has the value of a
pair of shoes, or of an umbrella, and
SO on; that a pair of shoes has the
value of hat, or of chair, or of an
umbrella, and so on; that chair has
the value of an umbrella, or of a shoe,
or of a hat, and so on; and that an
umbrella has the value of a hat. or a
pair of shoes, or of chair, and so on.
But money obviates the necessity for
the multifarious comparisons which are
here merely limited at. 1t enables us
to say that a hat, a pair of shoes, a
chair, and an umbrella are each worth
S., or a pound, or twenty-five francs,
or twenty marks, according to the
names of the money symbols in use
where we trade.

every person were a bank deposition
and every bank were connected witt
every other by means of perfect
clearing house system, all necessity fol
money except as pocket change woul6
disappear. In such case the check
the note, or the bill OF exchange, oper
ating as an order upon the bookkeepers
of banks and clearing houses, would
effect the transfer of debts and credits
the world over, so that all trade would
be pure barter, freed from the difficult
ties incident to pure barter in primitive
conditions. But every person is not
bank depositor, nor are banks perfectly
connected by clearing houses; there.
fore, some money is still necessary
Imperfect as banking is at present
however, it is estimated that 80 per
cent Of all trading transactions are
effected without the transfer Of money
by the simple process of transferring
debts and credits on the books of banks
and clearing houses. Thus, banking
facilitates trading and, as trading is
producing, banks are producers.
