APPROPRIATION AND SUPPLY BILLS.

The waysuand means committee
has already finished skeleton of the
appropriation bill, but it has not been
agreed upon in details. The supply
bill has not yet been undertaken.
The impression among members Of
the ways and means committee and
the finance committee is that the tax
levy to be collected next fall will be 5
or 5 IA mills. The graduated IL
cense bill which was a remnant from
last years session, went to the wall
several days ago. It was a compan-
ion piece to the income tax bill, and
it would be quite the proper thing
for the two measures to occupy q
common grave.
The abolishing Of the office of phos-
plate inspector, as suggested by Gov
ernor Ellerbe, will save no money if
it means the creation Of another clerk
ship in the Comptroller Generals
office.

At last, after much effort, strus-
cling and head-scratching, we have
succeeded in expressing an ed
itorial opinion which has pleased the
Greenville News. We hope the Co
lumbia State will take hope from
this. Billy Ball has actually said that
we are right in wanting the judge:
kept out of politics, and that they
should be elected for life. Well, we
feel better.

ECONOMICAL BILLS.

On this line it may be mentioned
that the perennial fight will be made
to cut salaries and the college appro-
priations. Salaries and appropria-
tions are low enough, and Legislative
bodies have said SO time and time
again, yet the effort to slash will be
made, and the chief argument will be
hve-cent cotton and the deficit, which
is nothing new. The ways and
means committee will recon- mend
certain reductions, and the unfortu-
nate minor officials will be the ones
to come in for the greater proportion
ate reductions.

THE JUDICIAL ELECTIONS.


The only circuits in which there
will be any contest will be the first
and sixth. Judge Benet will be op-
posed by Gen. James F. Izlar aud
Representative Bacot, and Judge
Witherspoon's position, for which be
declines to run again, will be con-
tended for BY Representative Gage
and ex-Solicitor Mcdonald. There
have been whisperings OF opposition
to Chief Justice McIver, but it has
failed to materialize. The suggestion
is that this opposition is being used
as threat in another of the judge
ship elections, the idea being that ii a
certain candidate be defeated, Justice
McIver is to be sacrificed This is
regarded as a great "bluff." The
trouble is that the callers have moth
ing but broken straight or flush.
They think they have made it, but
when the call is made will find it
broken. The members of the Su-
preme Court very handsomely and
feelingly refuse positively to oppose
Justice McIver, and their friends nat
urally will not care to see some am
bilious lawyer put over them on the
bench. Several prominent lawyers,
especially on the Senate side, have
been approached and asked to make
the race, but declined, and SO there ap-
pears to be talk of but one lawyer as
!; possible candidate, and he does not
appear to be averse to being known
as sort of sword of Damocles.
Chief Justice McIver will be re-elect-
ed Chief Justice, opposition on no op-
position, bluff or no bluff, election or
no election of certain judicial candi-
dates. No matter which of the can
didates is elected the judicial depart
ment will not suffer in ability or rep

THE STATE BOARD OF CONTROL.

1t may not be the proper thing to
say, but there is a great deal of log
rolling going on about the hotel lob
bies. It is principally in connection
with the two vacancies on the, State
Board of Control-as much sought
alter as the Governorsbip-and lit
tie us to other elections. The can
vassing for membership on the State
Board of Control is active, energetic
and persistent. 1t appears to be an
issue as to whether the Board should
or should not be reorganized III the
interests Of the Craftsmanship of Mr..
Leon J. Williams. This would mean
the election of Messrs. Haselden and
Zimmerman, who are credited to be
favorable to the craftsmanship of Mr.
Williams. Mr.. Timmerman's election
would mean the defeat of the incum-
bent, Mr.. Marion R. Cooper, who has
been inimical to the Wllliams-Dou-
thit interests, and Mr.. Haselden is to
be opposed by Mr.. J. O. A. Moore,
and perhaps former Senator Bnce.
The intention appears to be to divide
up the State, as to the representation
on the Board, with due regard to
geographical divisions. The positions
only pay 81 per day during the ses-
sions of the Board and mileage.

no slap At TIE GOVERNOR.

There have been suggestions of
slapping at Governor Ellerbe in GER
tain respects. 1t was stated that the
passage of the tax extension resolu-
ton against the wishes of Governor
Ellerbe was a slap at him. This is a
mistake, and it may as well be so
known, for Governor Ellerbe is get
ting criticism enough without shoai-
dering on him imaginary "slaps.
The tax resolution w.s passed en-
tirely without regard to the desires OF
Governor Ellerbe, and really without
most of the members knowing his
wishes.

The Day of Judgment.

To the people of the United States
has come day of judgment, by which
we mean that they have suddenly
been brought face to face with their
deeds, both OF omission and commits
sion, committed at the ballot-box.
They made William Mckinley Pres
ident, knowing that he vas spot
ted all over with the leprosy of de-
ceit and false pretenses. Hundreds
of thousands made themselves believe
what they themselves knew to be a
lie, and elevated the cause OF the gold
standard on the mere condition that
it would pretend not to be itself.
Cheated alike by the Republican
leaders and by themselves, they now
find their condemnation IN the open
debauchery of the administration b.
the gold power and Its shameless
submission to the embraces Of Nam
nor. This we call q day Of judg
ment for the nation. There vii! now
be no more prating of international
bimetallism.
Great day Of revelation in the grave.

Stood forth in naked ugliness.
All men of sense knew what was
coming Wall street never gives mil
lions for nothing. When they buy
the Presidency with money they own
it. President Mckinley drove his
tomahawk into the skull Of interna-
tional bimetallism last summer when
he iudorsed the indianapolis mon
strosity and all its doings. Previous
to that he had in his inaugural given
his adherence to the policy of retir
ing the greenbacks, although he did
it in muddy language, hoping it
would only be understood by his
masters. In his annual message Of
December he pledged himself more
clearly to ignore the existing double
standard, and to nullify the laws es-
tablishing it. His Secretary of the
Treasury loaded bis cannon to the
muzzle with gold heresies and ser
vices to the banks, and discharged it

A SHORT SESSION PROBABLE.

The unquestionable disposition is
manifest to have short session-rot
over thirty days-and If it were not
for custom, it would not be that long.
Members have told me that they saw
no possible reason for more than y
twenty-one-daJ session. Che Gen
eral Assembly has worked from the
jump and has worked hard The
holding Of night sessions the second
week is unusual, but on the line of
getting through with work. Those
of the members who work honestly
for short session will stand better
with their constituents 1t is at al
times to be remembered that there is
such thing as wasting great deal
of tine, and at the same time voting
on all measures looking towards early
adjournment. When the members
get to the appropriation bill and ar
que for an hour on cutting some poor
clerks salary about $50, it would be
well to remember that the debate is
worth so much an hour at about ST.
200 day.

Washington, ID. C.-In direct contradict
ton OF her promise to peacefully settle the
questions existing between herself and the
United States, Spain took action having as
its object the reinforcement of yer fleet in
Cuban waters and the protection of her
torpedo boat fotila. As an offset to the
Spanish move, the stragetic authorities of
the Navy Department are seriously con-
templating the issuance of orders to Com
modore w. 5. Schley, commanding the
flying squadron, directing him to move
with his command down the coast to Savan-
nah, or some other point, which will place
him several hundred miles nearer to Porto
Rico.

A LEVEE GIVES WAY.
sHAWNEETOWN, ILL UNDER TWENTY
FEET OF WATER.

Houses Swept Away by the Ohio River and
the Death List WIN he Very Large-Tbe
Water struck the Town Like n Giant
Wave.
Carmi, Ill.--The levee at Shawneetown,
on the Ohio River, broke, washed large
portion of the town away, and drowned, it
is said, 25O persons. The rushing waters
extended four miles into the interior and
created great havoc. The people made a
rush to the roofs of houses and the tops of
trees for safety, but it is believed that many
of them will perish before aid can reach
them.
1t had been feared for some time that the
levee would break. The pressure of the
waters of the Ohio and the Wabash, which
flow into the Ohio Just above Shawnee
town, have been exceedingly great, owing
to the heavy rains which sweled all the
streams far beyond their normal size.
The town is very much in the position of
a fortified city, and when the leyce gave
way a mile above town under the pressure
of the very high river, the water shot
through a twenty-foot opening and struck
the town like giant wave, sweeping every
thing before it,.
Shawneetown is one of the oldes town,
in Illinois, and in formcr days was quite a
lively point, With the advent of the rail-
roads and the decadence of theriver traffic
however its Importance dwindlcd. 1t con-
tains about $500 inhabitants and is the
county seat of Gallatin county.
