Thc Spurious COnprcSS.

The Slxtieth Congress will pass in
to history as the Spurious Congress.
1T has done nothing worthy Of a
great representative body. In it's
appropriations, it has been more ex-
travagant than any Of it's predeces-
sors, and will leave the government

refused to modify the tariff even on

enacted currency legislation of the
worst possible type, legislation not
in favor of the interests of the peo.,
pie at large but of Wall Street. it.
has upheld the President in his wild
and dangerous assertion of the SUI
premacy OF the military oven the
civil power. Its sins of commission
and it's sins Of commission are equal

bad as possible. Its early adjourn
ment should be welcomed by the
American people. The only defect
in our Constitution is that it re-
quires this Congress to meet again

Warning on the south.

The passage by the House of Rep.
resentatives on Friday Of an amend
ment to the publicity bill providing
for a reduction in Congress and in
the Electoral College nf the repre-
svntn'ives Of those :5ta,,s which
aLridge the suffrage in violation Of
the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution is Il direct blow at the
South. The measure will not be-
come a law at this session, but if
the Republicans carry the elections
this fall with decisive majorities
they will no doubt pass this measure
as a punishment to the South for
not voting the Republican ticket and
helping that party uphold the Trusts
and other diabolical schemes for rob
bling the people. This is the first def
mite step taken to enforce the alter
native provision Of the fourteenth
amendment since the failure Of the
main provision Of that amendment
in the killing Of the force bill several
years ago.
The adoption of this amendment
s a concession 20 the sentiment of
the South on the race question and
agrees with Senator Tillman's con
tention that the negroes should be
disfranchised. It's adoption by the
Republicans would be an acknow-
ledgmcnt on their part of their
abandonment of the negro, as we'll
as the abandonment by the Federal
government of the undertaking to
enforce negro suffrage in the South
ern States. This solution of the
race question has no terrors for the
South. As it has been said frequent
ly this section is prepared and is
willing to pay the price of maintain
ing white supremacy in politics, to
the extent Of conceding a reduction
Of it's representation in the national
government. This abandonment of
the negro in the South by the Re-
publican party means his ultimate
disfranchisement and loss Of all poll
teal rights by the enactment of new
laws on the subject.
IF the worst comes to the South
in a choice between negro suffrage
and reduction of representation,
there will be no hesitation on its
part in choosing to be shorn of a
part of its political power in the ma
ton rather than to share that and

The Times Says Florence Police Aid

The Florence Times says a vcry

OF tho town authorities there Sunday
morning when two young girls. Mag

TO live and that they could easily
obtain employment and would got

Lille accepted her story and came
down here with this woman Friday.
When they arrived at this woman S
house they at once realized that they
could not be satisfied at such a place.
They became dissatisfied and wanted
