Charleston Letter.
Correspondence Register
CHARLESTON. Feb. 10, 1887.


CHARLESTON, Feb. 10, 1897.
The militia bin is up again after
having been killed In the House.
It has again been referred to the
committee for amendment. The
soldier boys have not yet given up
hopes of Its final passage.
A bomb thrown intothe House
Thursday that startled society
people, and those who are looking
forward to having good time at
other peoples expense It was the
Joint resolution offered by Mr.. Cole
rider reciting that there is a grow
ing disposition to extrayagance
among those in charge of public
entertainments, complimentary
balls, ETC., in honor of legislative
bodies and ON occasions of inaugur-
atoms that the recent legislative
ball had cost the taxpayers more
than $500, and endorsing the stand
taken against such balls recently
taken by President-elect Mckinley
and hailing with pleasure similar
action, ON the part of Governor
elect q. w. Atkinson.
There are only fourteen more
working days left for the Legisla-
ture, and as all the bills worth
passing have been pretty well adj
vanced, much legislation either for
veal or woe can be accomplished
within this time.
The bill to tax Pullman palace,
sleeping and drawing room cars.
has passed the Senate. The only
member voting against it in that
body, being Senator Hensley. The
bill imposes tax of two per cent.
which it is estimated will add
100000 to the revenues of this
State. It is claimed by those in
charge of the bill, that it viii pass
the House.
The unwillingness of the Legis-
lature to even consider the ques-
ton of good roads in West Virgin
la illustrates the utter indifference
of the law makers to the best in
terests of the State. 1t is improba-
BILE that anything will be done as
no member seems disposed to move
in the matter. The time of the
Legislature and the money of the
State is being wasted in little
things that are wholly without gen
eral interest and utterly impossible
of general good. 1t is misfor-
tune that the State cannot find in
its entire law making body per-
son whose views are comprehensive
enough to realize the situation and
provide some sort of remedy.
Mr.. Henshaw has introduced a
bill into the Legislature to sup
press the tramp nuisance. Had
the Hon. gentleman been other
than a gold. bug Democrat he
would have known that legislation
of the kind he suggests would be
powerless. Let there be work and
a liberal circulation of money and
the tramp nuisance would die of
its own uselessness. Ct.
