Chat .

The following article in last week $
issue Of the Turf, Farm and Home Is a
sensible and impartial comment upon
the I'D Legislature and its work which
merits Il wide reading throughout the
State.
1t has got to be Il second nature in
certain circles to talk Il good
deal about the dcgeneracy of
the times, ana a good many poo
pie. especially those who DO not go
about much. try to fool themselves
with the idea that the growing degen-
clacy is mostly in their own commune
ties Legislatures and other public
bodies have long been a bright and
shining mark for the dcriSion, and
alleged Wit of those who have nothing
but evil thoughts for AL who occupy
positions of trust and responsibility.
In accordance with this line of thought
the pI escnt Legislature at Augusta has
come i'll for its share of uncOlnplimen-
tary remarks. While perhaps this
sort of conversation is as near HARM
less as any that is INDUCED in. by peo-
pie given to tlippant manner Of speech,
il is more the less pernicious and
should be discouraged
Nov we have no disposition to speak
Of the pre- sent Legislature III otherwise
than correct and truthful terms, but
from long acquaintance with the gen
tlcmcn who make up the two branches
composing this august body we are
bound TO Say that after IN Intimacy Of
more than - years with every LeSiSla
turc that has assembled within that pc
rod. we are compelled to say that the
present body assembled ut Augusta Is

rlimcnt that could be possible paid to

Another matter that is worthy OF
more than passing note ANA that is
the number Of private citizens who
conduct their own cases before the
committees. Only a few years ago
lawyers were employed almost wholly
at the hearings to present the cases of
private citizens. This has all
changed, or at least to Il great extent
the present winter, and one day last
week the judiciary committee. made
up wholly of lawyers. devoted the
Whole afternoon listening to claims
made and subStantiatcd by farmers
who i'll two instances were opposed by

the farmers, in opposition to their
brothers of the bar. This it occurred
I" us. WIS indeed Il hopeful sign.
