week closed deal for 800 bales of cotton
belonging to the estate of the late p. B.

Defeat Of Biennial Sessions.

The proposed amendment to the
constitution, which provided for bien.
NAL sessions of the Legislature, was
defeated in the Senate by a vote Of
20 to 10, not constitutional major.
ity of three-fourths required for the
submission of an amendment to the
voters. We think this a mistake
from any point of view, and that it
would be better to make square
issue upon the amendment to the
constitution than upon the election
of members favoring either side of
the question. 1t is matter for the
people to decide for themselves, and
they are fully competent to make the
decision. The question will un-
doubtedly come to the front in the
campaign next summer, arr candi-
dates may expect to align themselves
on one side or the other, as there is
growing conviction among the
people that the Legislature can
transact all necessary business once
in every two years, and that the
State will suffer no detriment by
making this arrangement.
AS for the reasons in favor of
biennial sessions they are very ap-
parent and convincing to the aver
age citizen. On the score of economy
there is certainty that money will
be saved by infrequent sessions, and
yet more will be saved to the people
by avoiding so much unnecessary
legislation. 1t would seem that
South Carolina can get along very
well without changing its laws SO
constantly and unvaryingly, and as
an instance we might cite the pres
ent session of the Legislature, which
is likely to pass into history as a
body made illustrious for it's refusal
to enact new laws and its failure to
amend the statutes already on the
books. Our belief is that biennial
sessions would prevent this constant
changing of the laws, and in this way
prove even more beneficial than it
would from a purely economic stand :
point.
We have been experimenting with
Legislation for the last twenty-five
years at an enormous expense to the
State, not so much in the cost of
holding annual sessions for that pur-
pose as in the uncertainty of what is
the law itself, by which the courts
are flooded with litigation, while
"those who dance must pay the
piper" 1t is time we were reaching
a degree of stability in the admins
tration of our local government that
would not demand an incessent tink
ering with the statute laws. 1t is
time the people knew for a certainty
that the expenses of our govern
mental machinery had reached a
solid foundation, instead of vacillat-
ing and tamperiDg every year with
the current expenditures. There is
an unending temptation to reduce
here and there, and to increase this
and that, until no one knows what
to expect when the Legislature meets
in annual session.
The conviction has been growing
upon us for some time that the con-
stitutional convention of 1895 was a
distinct failure in many respects, but
more especially in the character of
the constitution made and provided by
that body, which was a remarkable
convention in several respects, but
chiefly in the fact that it was COM
posed largely of men who had been
in the turmoil of partisan strife, and
who felt that they must give and
take in the formation of a constitu-

Washington March 25.-Senator Hans
broueh called upon the president today
TO enlist aid ia arOusing interest among
the party leaders in the house in the
irrigation measure which has passed the
senate and is now pending in the lower
house. Speaker Henderson and other Re
publican leaders appear Indifferent TO the
bin and apparently wish TO put of action
until late in the session
Chairman Tongue of the irrigation
committee says the speaker has signified
his willingness to have the bin brought
before the house after all the apprOpria-
tiOn bills have been disposed Of. The
apparent purpose of this Is TO prevent
Incorporating the irrigation measure as
an amendment to any appropriation bill.
Friends of irrigation in the senate as
sert that they win offer an amendment
TO the rivers and harbors measure If it
is not disposed of in the house before
the rivers and harbors bill comes before
the senate.
Western members generally are united
upon the irrigation measure as passed by
the senate and will probably agree with
out division upon the minor amendments
the house may make They viii make an
earnest fight 20 secure the passage of the
bill this session, despite the apparent
opposition Of Republican Leaders in the
house.

THE PRINCE AND THE HOGS
German Cartoons Place Them in In
explicable Juxtaposition.

Berlin, March 25.-The department of
agriculture has gathered through German
consuls and special agents samples Of
variety of European meat products. From
analyses it has been learned that these
meats show a general use of bOrax and
that some sausages contain borax in
large quantities.
A correspondent of the Frankfurter
Zeitung affirms that chemicals are much
more largely used in the preparation of
meats in Germany than in the United
States. because the system of cold storage
used in the latter country is little in
vogue here.
