There is much dissatisfaction expressed
at the redistricting bill recently passed
by the house of representatives, and if
the measure ever becomes a law it is
likely to be much amended. For our
part, if we were going to suggest the for
nation or change of the Second Con-
gressional district, we should say it should
be composed of the counties of Bamberg,
Orangeburg, Colleton, Barnwen and
Hampton. This would give US compact
district.

"HOt Time" as Funeral HYMN.

The solemn exercises at the funeral of
Mr.. Black, wealthy Brooklynite, were
marrcd by most untoWard occurrence
He was man Of fads, but the one con-
Suming fad of his existence was for
musical instrumcnts-not the ordinary
piano and organ, but mechanical devices
whereby harmOnieS were sounded by un-
seen forces. For instance, as one enter
ed the house some secret connection with
the door started the tlattering strains of
Hail to the Chief" to the accompani-
ment of which the astonished guest was
ushered into the reception room Clocks
of every sort sounded fitting music to the
passing hours; in short, every piece of
furniture seemed in some way to be con-
nected with hidden orchestra.
Mr.. Blacks death was untimely; hand
organ, with new and wonderful COM
bination of every orchestral instrument
that blares, suddenly began concert in
front of his house. In his eagerness to
examine this new musical marvel Mr.
Black tripped and fell down the long
staircase and his life paid penalty of this
tiral pursuit of his idol.
Before the funeral extreme care was
taken to silence all the harmonies of the
house. For two days the servants labor
ed diligently disconnecting wires and re-
moving offending furniture. Atlast they
rested from their labors and the last sad
hour arrived The exercises were con-
Quoted in the house, and as the minister
was concluding his panegyric on the de-
parted 4 bclated mourner entered and
was shown to the one empty seat, chair
in an obscure corner. Silently the late
conner tiptoed to the chair and quietly
sank into its depths.
Instantly there pealed forth loud
chord and then without interruption came
the loud, strident notes "There'll be hot
time in the old town tonight" All ef-
forts to silence the music were futile. In
notes that drowned the minister's voice
and were plainly audible for blocks the
music continued and not until the last
strain had died away was the minister
able to conclude his remarks.-New York
Tribune.

AS this is campaign year, there is lot
of playing for political position in the
legislature these days. Biennial sessions
of this body would be good thing for
the State and the people, and if the ques-
ton ever comes before the people of the
State, they will decide for biennial
sessions. And they will be wise in so
doing. The annual sessions now cost a
lot of money for which the people of the
State do not receive particle of benefit.

Urges Retention of Tax on Tea for
Benefit of American Tea
Growers.

Washington, March 21.-Two i'm
portant measures were passed by the
senate today, the bill for the repeal OF
the war revenue taxes and that or the
protection of the president of the
United States. The revenue bill was
passed without division and after
only one short speech. Mr.. Tillman
embraced the opportunity afforded by
the bill's consideration to protest
against the repeal of the duty Of 10
cents a pound on tea.
The owners of teas now in this
country in bond, Mr.. Tillman said,
would get the benefit of the removal
of duty to the amount of $4,000, ooo.
Since the duty had been levied upon
tea the United States had been
receiving the better quality of tea
which had been supplied to the people
at no increased price. He said, too,
that the experiment of tea culture was
being made in South Carolina and he
believed it would be successful. This
was "baby industry and really
needed the protection. The tea cul-
ture industry gave occupation to many
colored children and might do much
other good.
The bill for the protection of the
president was under discussion during
the greater part Of the session. Mr..
Patterson, of Colorado, made an ex-
tended speech in opposition to it and
Mr.. Fairbanks, of Indiana, advocated
it in forceful address.

not vouchsafed word in their own
benhalf. Why is this? 1t is because
the Republicans dare not face the
facts. It is because that is going on
in the Philippines, which if known to
the people, would sweep the Republi-
cans out Of power
1t is reported on what seems good
authority that some time ago Gen.
Miles asked to be sent to the Philip
pines. Heis our Oldest, most expert
enced Indian fighter. He has coaxed
submission many times of the aborig-
ines when to subdue them by force OF
arms would have cost too much. He
could and would bring order out of
chaos, if sent to Manila with adequate
power, in few months. We could
come to parley. We could adapt our
selves TO conditions. Not bit of it.
Miles application was pigeon-holed.
To shut his mouth-and all other
.mouths-he was reprimanded, though
the President has no right either un-
der the Constitution of the United
States or the articles of war to repri-
mand him. The war must 60 on. The
rings that exude campaign funds must
not be baked of their prey. Repub-
lican campaign capital must continue
to be fabricated no matter at what
cost OF blood and treasure to the peo-
pie. Not ray of light must be let in
upon the scene till after the next pre-
sidential election.
There is just one thing for the
Democrats on the Philippine Com
mittee-there are five of them-to do,
and that is to force the Republicans
there are eight of them-to show
down. A subcommittee should be
at once sent to Manila. It could go
nd come between now and the middle
of June, making its report to the
present session of Congress. If the
Republicans refuse this, let the five
Democrats constitute each and one an
other a subcommittee and 60 them
selves. Doubtless Gen. Chaffee would
arrest them on their arrival. Bully!

ROOSEVELT WILL GUST MILES.
Commanding General Persona
non Grata TO Bureau Officers.

Washington, March 21.-At the cabi-
net meeting today the publications
relating to the statements made by
Gen. Miles before the senate commit
tee yesterday were brought up but
consideration of them was postponed
until all the facts in the matter became
known. Whatever Intentions the presi-
dent had with respect to the treatment
to be accorded Gen. Miles, his future
action will be somewhat Influenced
by the fact that Gen. Miles, statement
before the senate committee has been
represented to him as being privileged.
The president proposes to read the
testimony given at the hearing and
to consult with different members of
the committee on military affairs be-
fore finally announcing what he pro-
poses to do.
1t is significant that long after the
cabinet meeting adjourned Secretary
Root and the attorney general were
closeted with the president. The presi-
dent is known to have stated that he
was tired of the friction in the army,
and whether it is decided that Gen.
Miles statement was privileged or not,
he will at no distant day take action
1ooly;no to his reti rement
In discussing the matter today with
his callers, among whom were senators
and representatives, the president took
the position that the lieutenant gene
raj of the army should entertain toward
his superiors the same respect that
he would expect and demand from his
subordinates.
The printed testimony of Gen. Miles
has not yet been made public and it is
understood that it will be submitted
to him for approval. 1t is we'll under
stood that a great deal of what the
general said will not appear in the rec
ord. Members of the committee say
the report published yesterday after
noon was correct in substance in every
particular. At the same time these
senators do not agree that Gen. Miles
can be punished for his utterances be-
fore the committee, whether they ap-
pear in the record or not. OF course
the committee could take no action to
prevent the retirement of Gen. Miles.
That, under the law, is purely an
executive act and needs no contirma-
ton or approval of the senate.

to assist the marines by giving them
similar food. He reported the facts to
Maj Waller, who was lying in cot
and who ordered Lieut.. Day to take
the prisoners and have them shot.
The witnesses said Maj. Waller was
not excited, and had personally ex-
pressed the wish that the men should
be shot.
Capt. Arthur T. Mark, marine
corps, representing Maj. Waller, OBJ
iected to the testimony of Dr.. Dove
regarding the sanity of Maj. Waller at
the time, claiming that his fitness for
duty was matter for the defense. alone.

the order while in his right senses.
