Didn't Have the Money,
Manchester, n. H, Union: A

Manchester. n. H, Union: A ca
blegram from Toxic, on Wednesday,
conveyed to London, and incident
ally to the rest Of the world, that at a
meeting of the budget committee OF
the Japanese diet, Mr.. Olishi, leader
of the progressive party, interpret
lated General Terauchi, minister of
war, as to whether the government,
as a result of the Anglo-Japanese al
lance, intended to urge the British
government to reform its army or
ganization. This was sufficiently sug-
gestive, but, according to the cable
gram, the minister replied that the
government would do so at some fu-
ture date. It is little wonder that,
as stated in a cablegram from Lon
don, Wednesday night, there is a dis
position, on the part Of the London
to wait a little before
upon the report, hoping
that there may prove to have been
a mistake in transmission. Evidently,
if the report is correct, English pride
has received blow which will go far
to render the Anglo-Japanese alliance
1t may be all very well
to make some sort Of alliance with
the japanese, but to have them pre-
sumo, because Of that alliance, to
make suggestions as to how England
shall conduct her own affairs, Is quite
another matter. Probably there has
been a mistake, but who knows? The
Japanese have been feeling very we'll
satisfied with themselves Of late.

COLUMBIA GETS If,

The Columbia State of yesterday
prints the following in its report of
Wednesdays house proceedingsi
"The bill to establish a hospital for
epileptics and inebriatea was adopted.
The measure provides for an appro-
priation Of $4,000, The house says the
institution must be located on the prop
erty of the hospital for the insane
and under the control Of the board
of regents. The senate provided for a
distinct commission but the two
houses will no doubt agree to have the
institution for inebriates connected
with the hospital for the insane"
This Is the bill under authority Of
which 1t was proposed to establish an
adjunct of the state hospital for the
insane. The Yorkvil!e delegation had
been especially interested on the as
surance that If the bill should go
through, the state hospital authorities
would give their influence for the To-
cation of the institution in Yorkville.
Columbia however, is always Johnny
on-the-spot in such matters, and
through the efforts of Mr. Haskell Of
Richland, the house specified the loca-
ton in Columbia. The probability Is
that the senate will now agree with the
house; but still it is possible that the
whole thing may fall through.

posed to act in good faith with the
people has already been made apparent
in other things. 1t will be remembered
that two years ago the general assem-
bly, made a show Of submitting the
the question of biennial sessions to the
people. The proposition was fought on
every stump principally at the instance
of persons interested in annual ses-
sions, and who would no doubt be bet
ter pleased with semi-annual sessions.
Columbia influence, of course, predomt-
mated. But Notwithstanding all the in
fuence Columbia could bring to bear
through demagogy and otherwise, the
voters, by their ballots, endorsed the
proposed amendment. The change
was now virtually affected, there
being nothing remaining but the
mere formality Of ratification. But 1t
seems that the voice of a so-called
sovereign people no longer counts for
anything with latter day politicians.
A Columbia newspaper pointed out
certain alleged technical imperfections
in the resolution that had been voted
that had very
likely been incorporated originally for
the very purpose that has subsequent
ly been made of them, and 1t was
claimed that on this account the ex-
pressed desire of the people could not
be granted. Then there came a bluft
of correcting these alleged defects In
another resolution and again submit
ting the question to the people. But
as the result of a vote taken Wednes-
day it appears that there was no IN
tention of taking any more chances.
A constitutional amendment PROPOSE
ton can be passed only by a two-thirds
vote. In the house this means that
it takes SO votes to prevail. 1t is fair
to say that Mr.. Richards, chairman or
the ways and means committee, was
really in favor of submitting the prop
osition back to the people. He said II
would be no less than justice to them.
But the influence of the people who
were interested otherwise was too
great and the re-submission resolution
lacked two votes of passage. There
were 70 votes to re-submit and "a
against re-submission. This settles the
whole matter for the present so far
as the general assembly is concerned
Whether the people will take hold OF
It again remains for future develop
mentS.

Dear Sir: But few Of the men who
sell the hundred different paints In
the market know much about them.
All Devoe agents have a state chem
lists certificate telling just what it's
made of; they know a good deal,
not only about Devoe but the rest; We
see that they do. We buy every
paint, that has any sale, and analyze
it. Our agent finds out all about 1t.
When we know what paint Is
made-of, we know how 1t will act;
we know how far 1t goes, and how
long 1t wears.
Devoe is the standards call It
100. The best of the rest is about "a;
the worst about %; the rest are be-
tween.
But the men, who sell them, don't
know any better. They know what
the maker tells them. That is: they
know that he tells them. They don't
know whether he tells them the
truth or not.
The business is not conducted ON
knowledge: the less they know, the
more comfortable they are.

Yours truly,

The school house at Cotton was de-

there Is reason to believe that 1t was
the deliberate work of an ineendiary
The information is that people living

the mule was hitched near by a short
while before the flames were seen.
The understanding is that an arrest

New Trial Refused.
Judge Hydrick has refused a new
trial in the case of A. e. Sutton VS..
the Catawba Power company. The OF

the court for York county, on yester-
day. In the order his honor sets forth
that the case had been tried three
times, each jury returning a larger
verdict. He had instructed the jury
that 1t should not be Influenced by
what had been done by previous turies
and had no right to assume otherwise
than that 1t had followed his instruc-
tions. AS the result Of the first trial,
