THE SENATOR'S FROM SOUTH c4RoLIyA.

Senator McIauriBs offence against the dig
nifty and decOrum of the Senate was by no
means slight. Nevertheless he was so much
less to blame than Senator Tilman for their dis
graceful encounter that public opinion will he
inclined to deal lcnienty with him. whatever
the Senate may feel compelled TO DO in the way
of discipline. For months his colleague has
pursued him with charges of personal corrup-
ton finding occasion in Mr.. McLaurns vote for
the Treaty of Peace with Spain and his support
of the measures logically growing out of that
ratification for the bitterness which had its
cause i'm personal rivalry Mr.. McLaurin has
answered these charges many times outside the
Senate and in. but. Notwithstanding Mr. Till
man i'm open session of the Senate impcached
his honesty in most Insulting and exasperating
terms. which called for reply. In that reply
Mr. McLaurin undoubtedly passed the limits
Of parliamentary language He should have
put his denial in other words. and he could
have done so without any loss of force and i'm
prcssivenesS. Whatever his prov ocation he had
no excuse for using an expression which he
knew as well as anybody wouldprovoke "A blow.
and he is deserving of severe cenSure for bring

Chamber
Mr.. Timan however. was the original Of
fender. He passed the first insult. and when he
was answered too much after his own black
guardly fashion he resorted To violence and
treated the Senate To a brawl Mr.. McLaurin.
under such circumstances. naturally defended
himself In forcing this quarrel Mr.. Tillman
acted I'm line with his conduct ever since he
became known 10 the public. He has been the
common black guard of Washington habitually
violating the decencieS of debate Indeed, the
Senate Itself is somewhat to blame for it's own
humiliation It's long liberation of Mr. Till
mans "ptchfork' manners has led him TO pre-

the first or the tenth member of Congress who
has been insulted by Mr.. Tillman in debate
and he ought early in his career to have been

TRAVELLERS AND THE CUSTOMS

1t is to be hoped that Secretary Shaws in
vestigations will result in some reform in the
method Of examining passengers baggage in
the Custom House. There is not the slight est
doubt that everybody who endures the pres
ent ammo! ances. prOtectionist as well as free
| trader. is out of sympathy with existing regu-
| lationS. which subject travellers to incOnven-
! fences encountered in no other custom house
in the civilized world. This is not because the
! objectOrS are wOud-be smugglcrS who find the
| law too rigid for them. 1t may be doubted if
| the person who deliberately plans to conceal
goods has much harder time now than under
| the old rules. The great majority of travellers
| are perfectly willing TO pay reasonable duties,
| but they do dislike being treated as persons
! guilty of a crime for having been abroad and
| being subjected without any suspicion Of wrong
| doing TO unnecessary delays and petty inquSi-
| ton The law should not concern itself with
trifes No other law does In Europe even
where the tariffs are highest and bureaucrats
most strict travellers are not ANNOYED about
trihes 1t ought TO be beneath the dignity of
a great nation 10 go pOkng through wOmen's
wardrobes and bothernG with mems twenty

good faith. 1t is true that tradespeopIe have in
the guise of travellers sought to make whole
against. American travellers in Europe are
not likely 10 have dutiable imports as when
they come home. and some allowance must be
made for stricter regulations here than are en-
contered by Americans abroad But in spite
of these things. it would seem as if the exer-
else of common sense would adequately safe
guard the revenues without giving every Amer
lean who goes through custom house grev-
ance against his government.
This appeal to common sense is made most
effectively in a reply TO exSecretary Cages re-

February number of The North American Re-

not question involving protection PrOtec-
tionists. In fact. ought 10 be the first TO urge

wouldn't stay away quietly he was squarely told
