DoINGs IN CONGRESS.

During the passage of the Philip.
pine tariff bill by strict party vote
the Tillman- Nc Lauren incident was
repeated, save that no blows were
passed, Senator Wellington attack
ing the yeracity of his colleague.
Senator McComas.
Senator Tillman made a drastic
speech on the policy of the Govern
ment in the Philippines. He says a
carpet-bag government is being in
stituted and we are there for pelf
alone, and that the FiIpinos are
being "pacifed" off the face of the
earth.
A Senator of the United States
who expresses his sympathy for the
Filipinos is. according to Senator
Foraker, protected from indictment
for treason under the Federal stat
utes only by reason of his official
position. According to the logical
result of this opinion, any private
citizen who expresses the same SYM
patty Is liable 20 immediate arrest
AID prosecution.

AN INkLINe is dropped that one
OF our county villages is seeking at
the hands OF the Legislatare-by
charter, ETC., we suppose-relief from
county jurisdiction. If any of our
villages want to be incorporated we
should like to see it done; but in the
present case we fear Interior mo.
tives have stirred some to push this
matter. Did the Legislature know
the move was likely for the purpose
of carrying on unmolested the LIQUOR
traffic, and this in one of the centres
where congregate our county people
and where influences of the sort
have been very detrimental, we do
not think it would for a moment
grant the request. In truth we do
not believe it will be granted any
way, for if we are not mistaken the
case is very near a parallel one to
that of Colonial Beach few years
since, an action which the people
aud the lawmakers have regretted.
We would not like to see a repetition
of it in Lancaster.

a clean, able and decisive man, else

SENATOR'S FIGHT.
Tfllman and McLaurin, Hot South
Carolinians, Draw Blood In
Senate.

In the U. S. Senate Saturday oc,
CURED one of the most sensational
physical encounters ever witnessed
in that body. Senator B. r. Till.
man. of South Carolina, intimated
that one Senator-referring to his
colleague, Mr.. McLaurin--had been
won over by promise of patronage in
South Carolina. Mr.. McLaurin, who
was absent from the chamber at the
time, returned and, speaking in his
own defense, denounced Mr.. Till
mans statement as ga malicious lie. ("
Tillman Immediately rushed to-
ward McLaurin and struck him
on the forehead. The latter drew
blood from Tillman's nose, when the
two clinched and finally were separ-
ated. The Senate adjudged both of
them guilty of contempt, and de-
barred from participation in the
work of the Senate. Each later
apologized.
The name of Tillman was stricken
from the list of Senators who were
invited to dine at the White House
with Prince Henry, and Martin, of
Virginia, was substituted. The latter
declined. Tillman, in an interview,
has drastically scored Roosevelt.

WE LEARN through Cant. G. ]

We LEARN through Capt. G.. p
Squares (who dropped in last week
to. say "howd'y'" to the Legislators
at Richmond) that among the recon-
mendations to that body by the
Board of Fisheries is one to reduce
the license on pounds to So. We
hope the measure will pass the
House, as it already has the Senate.
There was time when the pound-net
fishermen were more able to pay the
present high license on their nets than
to pay So today. When the law was
first enacted it was proposed to put
a graduated scale on pound-nets,
reaching as high as $50, and on
steamers $75; but this was way out of
reason, and after being made clear
to the Legislative committee, and by
appeal of the steamer men to let of
pound-nets and tax themselves more,
the tax was increased to 500 on
steamers and on pound-nets from SIS
down. Few of the trappers know
what stiff fight was made for them
and of the magnanimity of the men
baden steamer men. Today the
steamer men do not ask a reduction
OF their tax, but are earnestly be-
seeching the Legislature to reduce
the pound-net tax.
