The suggestion Of Col. Goethals as
not without very considerable interest
Notwithstanding the fact that in all
probability the colonel will be kept at
Panama to finish the canal and estab-
lish the civil government along proper
lines. In the first place Col. Goethals
was sent to Panama not only because
of his army training; but because OF
his recognized ability and integrity,
even as an army officer. 1t was be-
cause of the manner in which he has
met the responsibilities Of his position
in Panama that there is such wide
appreciation Of his especial fitness for
the New York place. AS is commonly
understood, the New York police force
makes up the equal Of very consid-
erable standing army. In many re-
spects it is as efficient as any standing
army on earth; but at the same time,
it is more or less permeated with graft
and corruption growing out Of gener-
ations Of rotten politics, and those
who really desire reform recognize the
need for putting it in charge Of a man
Of experience, ability and unimpeach-
able integrity. That Col. Goethals is
such a man is hardly to be disputed.
and also the job is plenty big enough
for him; but he could accomplish but
little unless he could have free hand.
and because there are so many obSta-
cles in the way, this is we'll nigh i'm
possible, he will hardly undertake the
work

Washington dispatches say that the
National Woman Suffrage association
is split over a proposition pledging the
organization to fight the Democratic
party If that party fails to give It
what it is asking for at the present
session Of congress. The association
is pretty well united in its demands
for recognition; but large section OF
it is unwilling to go into fight against
the Democratic party, especially since
many Of the wisest Of the leaders
realize that such a fight will only re-
suit in advantage to the Republicans
without benefit to the cause of woman
suffrage.

The Anderson and Greenville dele
cations have under consideration bill
which is intended to give their respec-
tive counties the right to make spe-
cial assessment on property because
Of its proximity to the public roads. In
other words the fact that land abuts
on a public road will make it subject
to a special tax the same as in the
case Of many Of the cities which tax
town lots because Of their abutment
on the side walks. Considerable in
terest is being worked up in the prop
osition.

Washington special of January 26,
to the Columbia State: The Grace
Whaley report made by the elections
committee of the house, dismissing the
charges filed by Mayor John p. Grace
Of Charleston, against Representative
Richard s. Whaley Of the First district
wherein the latter was alleged to have
spent 100000. to have bought votes
and to have made false affidavits In
connection with his election, was taken
up by the house for action late this
afternoon. The matter was to have re-
ceived consideration at noon, but be-
cause Of other business on the calen-
dar 1t was not reached until an hour
before adjournment. At o'clock
Chairman Post took the floor and
made an elaborate speech showing
why the report Of the committee
should be adopted and why there
should be no further proceedings at
the hands Of congress to investigate
Mr.. Whaley's election last April He
began with q careful summary OF the
witnesses brought to Washington by
Mr.. Grace, and Of the affidavits sub
mitted by him, as well as the conduct
of Mr.. Grace on the stand. He then
reviewed the actions Of Mr.. Whaley In
opposition and said that since the
committee had already gone into the
matter thoroughly there could be, as
he saw 1t, no need for action at the
hands Of congress. There was moth
ing especially new In what Mr.. Post
said. His main argument was that
the report Of the committee should
stand and he spent considerable time
in reviewing in his remarks conditions
in Charleston and in the counties Of
First congressional district. most OF
which has already been printed In the
report and hearings Of the committee.
The main thing about Mr.. Posts argu-
eral times by Republican members,
who manifested lively interest in the
matter during the hour the case was
under consideration. Among these
members were Representatives Cooper
Of Wisconsin. Gardner OF Massachu-
setts. and Willis Of Ohio. He was also
asked questions by several Democrats,
among the latter being Representa-
tives Garner OF Texas and Howard o.
Georgia. At 6 o'clock the house al
journed until noon tomorrow without
having taken action. 1t seems prob
able now that the point that win be de-
veloped then will be what amount OF
money Mr.. Whaley actually did spend
in his election. This was the feature
of the situation today that appeared
to arouse more interest than anything
else. No one seems to care what Mr..
Grace did. The question Is what Mr..
Whaley did, and along this line the
matter will doubtless be fought out
tomorrow when Representatives Frear
Of Wisconsin and others take the floor.

Columbia special Of January %, to
tho Atlanta Journal: Preceded by
warm denunciation Of the board OF
regents voiced in a strong speech from
Senator Crouch, the senate this morn
ing adopted by vote or 3O 10 ., the
house concurrent resolution ordering
an investigation into the asylum ana
it's management. Minutes or the poaro
of regents hitherto kept private, were
used by Senator Crouch in his speech
calling for the passage Of the resolu-
ton. in which he denounced as cow
ardly the action Of the board In pass
ing a resolution condemning DR.. j. W..
Babcock, the superintendent OF the In
stitution, and his lady assistant, Dr
Saunders, on December %, and then IN
January turned around and passed
resolutions vindicating DR.. Saunders.
"They met behind closed doors and
with lawyers excluded and none pres
ent passed out their dirty insinuations
but when confronted by the father OF
the young lady in broad open daylight
thew scuirmed and tried to get out Of
their action by passing resolutions
yindicating her." exclaimed the Saluda
senator in a speech literally scoring
the board. He denounced their actions
as "cowardly." Senator Weston started
the fight on the resolution when he
called 1t up and made a vigorous plea
for it's passage. He referred to certain
insinuations made against DR.. Saun-
ders and the charge that she had in
terfered with DR.. Blackburn and other
members Of the staff, and sala that
when the board Of regents met In De-
cember and passed resolutions con-
demning Dr. Babcock for refusing to
move DR.. Saunders and condemning
the young lady, the action was taken
behind closed doors and neither OF the
parties were allowed to be represented
by counsel or otherwise. The Rich
land senator asked the senator's H.
had they q daughter against whom IN
situations had been made If they
would let distractions Of door, steel or
anything else, stand in their way, ana
he called on them to pass the lnVesu-
CATION resolution. Senator Clifton op-
posed the resolution and thought there
was no charges made to investigation
He gave some history Of the past dis
pensary investigation and thought
that over Jealous friends of some or
the committee had helped in re- elect
ing the present governor. He said that
the senior senator was accustomed to
making charges and 1t was largely
through this manner that he had got
ten into public positions and been en-
abled to remain there. Senator Sinkler
thought it pertinent and proper Tor the
general assembly to take cogniZance
of anything attacking the integrity of
any institution. The Charleston sena-
tor stated that as q lady's reputation
had been brought into the matter he
would vote for it on that score alone II
there were no other reasons. Senator
Banks spoke as member of commit
tee which looked into the sale CT the
asylum and wanted the investigation
and wanted the senate to say whether
or not he was one Of Governor Blease's
"underlings and satellites" as charged
in the letter to Senator Tillman.

District Attorney Whitman OF New
Iork, is engaged in an effort to inves-
tigate Chas. F. Murphy's bank ac-
counts in the belief that the investiga-
ton will show that the Tammany boss
has been using a great deal more mon
ey than he has ever honestly earned.
The idea may be productive Of results;
but If so it will only be because Muir
ply has been so absolutely sure Of the
permanency Of his power that there
has never occurred to him the possi-
bility Of investigation.

Believes in the Movies.-Senator E.
E Werner Of Oconee, thinks that the
introduction Of moving pictures In the
common schools would help the cause
Of education. He has introduced the
following bill in the senate:
Section 1. That the several boards of
trustees Of the several school districts
in any county in this state are hereby
authorized and empowered to purchase
and At out from any funds now on
hands or hereafter collected for the
support and maintenance of the public
schools Of any school district in this
state and operate a picture show IN
connection with any or all of the
schools within their several districts,
for the education, entertainment and
benefit Of the pupils and patrons Of
the schools: Provided, That one half
Of the cost thereof shall first be raised
by private subsc. iption or otherwise:
Sec. 2. That e" Acts or parts Of
Acts in conflict with the provisions Of
this Act are hereby repealed. aF1

Columbia correspondence Green
Vile News: There has been consider
able skirmish in the senate on the
State Warehouse Plan, and while the
members generally seem to favor the
adoption Of some such system, the
question seems to be in providing the
funds with which to inaugurate the
system. Senator McLaurin and Mr.
MCQUEEN, who have it in charge, be-
lieve they can work out satisfactory
solution Of this problem. The impress
sion seems to he that the bill will first
be seriously considered in the senate
and If it can get through in that
branch it will go over to the house
with the endorsement Of the senate,
as the house is more likely to pass this
particular measure than the senate.
