ELBERT H. AULL, EDITor. ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. WK. P. HOUSEAL,P NEWBERRY. S. C, THURSDAY, DECEIBER 25, 1S90. SPEAKER INA I*. JONES. Mr. fra B. Jones, of Lancaster, has been elected .Seaker of the House of Representatives to succeed Speaker Irby. Mr. Irby who has been elected United States Senator resigned on Tuesday. There weie two candidates for tbe place: Mr. Ira B. Jones, of C Lancaster, and 'Mr. John Gary Evans, of Aiken. The vote stood Jones 65 Evans 44. Mr. Jones is a Newberry man, but moved to Lancaster several years ago. eis a lawyer by profession; young and talented and full of energy, and we have no doubt will make a good and acceptable presiding ofticer. He was a prominent member of thE August and September State Conven tions, and was chairman of the ways and means committee in the preseni Legislature, having been appointed by Speaker Irby. THE LEGISLATURE. The first ses,ion of the Legislatur( elected under the cry of "Reform" ha completed its work and adjourned. A number of local and private bill. have been put through as is the casA with every Legislature. But what ha. been the result of the work of this Leg islature in the way of retrenchment Very little or nothing because then was no room for any. The govern --ment has been economically and hon estly administered for the past fourteer years. Then what was all this hurral and excitement and bitter campaig: for, the past summer? Simply one se of men wanting to get control of th( government and it was the metho used to accomplish that end. In tha far it was successful. But where is th benefit to the people, the hard workinj tax payers to cone in.? The appropriation is a fraction lowe: and the tax levy is reduced a half mill which results chiefly from stoppin( work on the State house. The salaries of the State officer. and clerks have been reduced and wil probably save $10,004 a year. Tbatisi very small matter to each individua taxpayer but a pretty big thing for th( officials. We do not think this reduc tion ought to have been made. Tb State ought to command the very bes talent and efficiency to do its work and __it ought to pay a good price for it. Th4 Legislature reduced the pay of aboul all the officers except their own pei diem. They declined to make it any less. As a matter of fact it is low enough but there is no more sense ix reducing the pay of the other officern than there would have been in reduc The separate coach bill has beer killed. Mr. Wigg, the colored membei from Beau fort, made a speech against this bill and it seemed to have the de sired eff'ect. The bill to regulate the hours of labo: in factories was killed in the Senate, although a compromise measure had agreed upon by the advocates of the bill and the representatives of the mills, and the law stands unchanged. Governor Tiliman has signed the bil] extending the time for the payment o: taxes to the first of February. The important bills of the session are summed up by the Greenville News as follows: (1) The rail road commission bill; (2) The phosphate commission bill; (3) The University, Clemson College and the Department of Agriculture bills. The rail road commission bill makee no immediate chauge. It is copied closely after the 67eorgia bill and gives the commission absolute power to fix and determine rates of transportation for freigh t and passengers within the State. The new commission is to pre. pare and pubiish the rates when decid. ed on. Whbether this bill amounts to a row of pins or not depends on the com mission ers who are to be chosen to~ day. The rail road men made no fight adainst it. They believe the United States Courts can defend them from any fiagrant wrongs and say th'ey are willing to have this law tested. They do not believe it will cause any genera] change which will be felt by the people and that as it is the extreme limit of anti rail road legislation the Legisla. ture will be satistied to rest on it and let the long vexed qjuestion rest. Fur. thermore an increasing confidence is developing in the G;overnor's purpose to be conservative and refrain from any action likely to disturb the business or impede the prosperity of the State. The phiosphate comiion~~ bill, also, will result in only such action as the commission created by it decide to take. The Coosaw people against whom it is aimed, have several very strong cards to play. The whole busi ness settles down to the question whether seven miles of Coosaw River in which the C'oosaw company has been at work f'or several years and from which half a million tous or more of rock has already been taken, shall be left for the exclusive use of the Coosaw Company, which is using a million dollar plant, or thrown open for the mining of anybody who will pay a royalty to be agreed upon. This bill is the only one to which there has been strong and organized opposition which has gone through. The Jim ('row car bill, the factory labor bill and others of importance which met with oppiositionI perished in one house or the other. It is doubtful if the phosphate bill would have suirvivedl even trinmned and pruned as it is, if it had not had behind it in addition to the administration the power of the land phosphate companies and their friends. Yet this is Governor Tillman's own Legislature elected on his plat -rm and large.ly composed of men chosen because of their enthusiastic support of him: and it hm4s not been bamboozled or debauched in those mat ters. It is to be hoCped that the University, Clemson (College and Department of Agriculture nmatters are now settled and definitely out of politics. The set tlement is one whieb promises to work welland to the general satisfaction of the people. It is a settlement by gen eral consent and agrerment and puts the two institions oni a definite and solid basis. Probably most of the members of the Legislature wvili, when they come to review their work, be astounded to see how little there really was to be done to bring the State's affairs entirely into line with the Farmers' Movement plat form, how slight the changes are and "how easily they could have been made without all the row and danger and bitterness of last summer. The only thing really accomplished in legislation is the change in the De partment of Agriculture and the two colleges and the suspension of work on the State Mouse, both of which will probably command general approval. The rest of it is all in the future. The trial justices' bill, the changes in the school districts, the calling of a consti tutional convention have all been post poned until next session and so has the matter of reapportionment. This is the small basis of achieve ment with the help of the caucus, of unlimited and undisputed power in the administration and with the most en ergetic leadership that could be had. This is the result to the public. John Lawrence Manning Irby has been elected United States Senator for six years at $5,000 a year. He gets $.30,000. George Washington Shell has been elected to Congress for two years at $5,000. He gets $10,000. Benjamin Ryan Tillman has been elected Gov ernor for two years at $3,500 and house rent. He gets, say, $8,000. These three gentlemen are tolerably solid. The Shell manifesto and its results have paid them very well. Whether the public has got the worth of its sweat and hurrah and disturbance is a matter of which the public may judge. AN EXTRA SESSION. The Charleston World and the Co lumbia Register have been advising the Legislature to hold an extra session after the Christmas holidays, or rather to take a recess and return after Christ mas and finish up the administration measures. The Legislature seems to take no heed to this advice, and right, too, we think. There is no need of a session after Christmas. All the post poned measures can very well go over to the next session. In that time the members can have time to mingle with their constituents and find out their views. They will have time then to hear these measures discussed and time to reflect upon them themselves. In fact one or two measures have already been rushed through this session that had better been postponed. Then an extra session would have cost the State considerable money and it would not have been consistent in an economic Legislature to have had an extra session, unless there was reason for it. THE SEPARATE COACH BILL. The bill introduced in the Legisla ture to force the railroads to provide separate coaches for the races has been indefinitely postponed. An effort was made during the last Legislature to get a similar bill through, but it met with the same fate. There are a great many people who are in favor of such a measure, and we have no objection to it, but we have never seen the great need of it as urged by some people and some newspapers. At any rate the matter stands as be fore for some time to come. As most of the very hungry have been fed perhaps there will be some peace in politics for a while now. There is nothing that quiets a politician so eff'ectually as a good fat office.--Ob server. You are mistaken, cotemporary. There are just lots:of them that have not even got a crumb and they are prominent leaders have got good big loaves, but there was not near enough to go round. A good fat office is very soothing, but when you expect one and don't get it, the disappointed one declines to be comforted. ADJOURNED. The Legislature adjourned sine die yesterday (Wednesday) morning about 5 o'clock, after an all night session. VErOED. The Governor vetoed the railroad bill and his veto was sustained by the Leg islature. In consequence there was no election by the Legeslature of railroad commissioners. We have not at this writing the rea sons for the veto. Neither do we know whether under the law the Governor has the power to appoint. We presume he can fill the vacancy on the board by appointment. New superintendent of the Penitentiary. COLUMBIA, S. C., Dec. 17.-In joint assembly to-day the State Legislature elected a new superintendent and board of directors of the State Penitentiary. There were six candidates in the field for th bsuperintendency--W. W. Brook er, W. J. Talbert, J. T. Gaston, J. R. Earle, Henry Massey and T. J. Lips comb, the present incumbent, who bas held the position for years. Talbert was easily elected on the first ballot by a vote of 112', none of the other can didates receiving more than 17, and Superintendent Lipscomb getting only The directors elected are WV. A Neal, Henry Oliver, T. J. Cunningham. All of these are new men. The new superintendent, W. J. Tal bert, is the Edgefield man who lead the famous Cuibreath lynching party and gained considerable notority by his dictatorial manner in presiding over the September Convention. He is re garded as a tyranical man. A Failure in Laurens. [Special to Greenville Daily News.1 LAURENS, Dec. 17.--B. Swartzburg, dealer in clothing, confections, etc., failed to-day. He has taken h ume stead and confessed judgment to the amount of five hundred dollars. The liabilities will reach from two to three thousand dollars. "I Am Head of the Family." Sir John Swinburne tells with much gusto how, whenever be is introduced to anyone, he is asked : "Are you re lated to the poet Algernon Swin burne T' to which he invariably re plies, "Bless your soul I am head of the Swin burne family, and he is re lated to me." Sir John has just here happily bit off the relationship of Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic. It is the head of the family ; it ranks first, and the superlative merits of a tonic are embodied in it. It is pre-emiinently the favorite with practising physicians and they generously prescribe it. The formula combines the powerful virtues of the Calisaya or Cinchona bark and other valuable tonics and alteratives. For indigestion, general debility, dys pia,topi liver, impure blood or maailpoisoning, is an invaluable remedy. F or sale by Robertson & Gilder. _ The women praise P. P.

[Written for the Herald and News.] 1V Teaching being the work of teachers, Youth, it may be added, is the season above all others where one should be taught. Throughout the long career of civilization-and even before civiliza tion-that idea has prominently stood forth. When young, the body is stronger and the mind more ready to receive impressions. The application and toil necessary for study may at that period be better borne than at any other portion of life. Strong arms, moreover, shielding him in most cases from the cares of life, the child has more time to acquire knowledge than has the adult. Few men can be found to counsel the postponement of educa tion until one is grown up. On the contrary, everyone, who seems to have thought about the matterseriously, has advised the youth to study. This ap pears to be the verdict of philosophy and common sense. Bacon, for exam ple, ever observant and wise has this to say concerning study on the part of children: "As with plants, neglect or care in their tender youth contributes principally to their decay or flourisli ing, and as the immeasurable growth in the Roman Empire was justly ascribed to the courage and wisdom of those six Kings who governed and protected its childhood, so, no doubt, Lhe training and education of b6yhood, and even at an earlier age, even if it is unobserved, and noticed by no one, have an influence not equalled by the most persevering and assiduous indus try in after years." Roger Ascham, Queen Elizabeth's preceptor, and au thor of the justly celebrated volume en titled, "The Schoolmaster," declared that "Learning teacheth more in one year than experience in twenty; and learning teacheth safety, when expe rience maketh more miserable than wise," and in the quaint language of his day the same again says, "be that would prove wise by experience, he may be witty indeed, but even like a swift runner, that runneth fast out of the way, and upon the night he kuoweth not whither." Examples of similar expressions, from sources equally high, may be almost indefinitely multiplied, and Erasmus himself is said to have set it down that 'experience is the schoolhouse of fools.' One is obliged, therefore, to learn when one is young, for without the knowledge such study is presumed to bring, experience has little to offer. Upon the good or ill effects of the education of children will depend, therefore, in no small degree, their success or failure in future years. It need then be scarcely added that the dominant feature of every good system of education is the school; that beyond the training received there, the educa tion of by far the majority of children does not extend; that all the learning acquired in after life is but the super. struction of that received in youth, that unless the instruction received at the school is of a character sufficient to properly prepare one for more advanc ed s'udies, he may almost vainly sit at the feet of the wisest of the earth and that unless a good system of elementa ry training is behind the institutions of higher education, bricks piled upon bricks until they brush the sky and the most high-sounding or captivating labels to this or that building will, to a great extent, fail to produce either useful citizens or profound scholars. They may work downright harm. By causing people to mistake the sem blance of things for the realities--the spurious articles for those whose hands have been misapplied -they may cause serious mistake. The basis of all learning being laid in the school, every true reform or im nrovement in education usually begins tnere. sucn improvement ot rerormn to be entirely successful may, howvever, assume many things. It may assume that the rights of every human being to the privileges of an education is uni versally admitted. It may assume that society has sufficiently ad vanced to recognize that it is not only safer and wiser bue far nobler and grande.1 to transform ignorance into educrtion. It may assume that hindrances in the way of intellec tual progress do not exist. It may as sume that government-local and gen eral but practically local-is able and willing to aid in the upbuilding of better systems of education. It may assume that an intelligent, fearless and self-reliant public opinion will, if necessary, demand the construction of buildings with some view to the com fort, health and happiness of the chil dren filling them; that the schools be kept open long enough to be useful, and that they be taught by teachers sufficiently recompensed to be efficient. Such reformation or improvement does assume that individually and collec tively man is not only improvable and progressive, but it assumes the exist ence of a desire to improve and pro gress. That desire is indeed said to be one of the leading distinctions between the homo sapieus and the lion of the jungle or the magnolia that blossoms in our gardens. These appear to lack all desire for improvemen t. By culti vation they may, it is true, be some wvhat developed, but such cultivation will be wholly involuntary, and appa rently uuconscious on the part of beast and flower; and the same kindly na ture who nurtured their ancient proto types in the dawn of creation will guide them through the twilight of the ages to come. Hlad mankind been similarly constituted we might still be shaping arrowheads or seeking shelter in the cores of the mountains; when the first prehistoric man, however, with his rude abode and implements tried to secure better ones, education took up its march. Wisely, therefore, is it said, "the civilization which we contrast with barbarism is simply the result of that action of mind on mind which carries forward thbe tea sh i ng of nature in other wvords of what we call educa tion." Fronm what has already been said it may be almost unnecessary to add that nearly all discussion respecting educa tion centers itself around the t wo ques tions of what a child should be taught and of how it should be taught. The answers to those questions have not only been the dreanm of ph ilosophy, but the world's responses to them have for thousands of years powerfully shaped the course of human events. Practice giving rise to theory; theory reacting again on p)ractice; the grow thof knowl edge and the necessities from time to time created by the widening investiga tion of~the material world have each and all affected the ideas, both of the scope and method of instruction. Nor is it surprising to be told that even in our own day many principles which competen t authority believes should be recognized in systems of education are not recognized. Improvement there has been, however, and there is no very great cause to fear that there will not be still greater improvement. The wonderful discoveries in those branches >f science more directly affecting our knowledge of the human species that have added such a peculiar lustre to our 3entury, have already caused mi terial modification in educational theories. With increasing knowledge of man's ature will come more light respecting 2s bodily and spiritual needs. Mean while it is vain to wait for better the >ries. No surer means of bringing etter theories can be devised than by ;he pursuit of better practices. These, ommon sense and the opinions of thers and the practices of others, will id us in making better. In respect of sucation, therefore, much may be lone in the way of imro vement by ooking into the systems of other times nd of other lands than our own. duch may also be learned from the ayings of men who have devoted much should ever remember, however, that as knowledge is ever growing; society continually changing and mankind, in the end, ever advancing in culture, these transformations are always call ing for new requirements. While the education of one generation may, there fore, be built upon that of another, the former may not, unaltered, suit the latter. That idea has often been the mistake of instructors from which mankind has suffered. Principles of education cannot be adopted that will forever hold good. With advancing civilization institutions embodying that civilization must advance. Modi tied from time to time to meet the same kinds of demands that called the,. into existence, they will continue their careers of usefulness: fixed and immnov able, however, merely because, so con stituted, they answered the purpose of other times, they will become useless and sometimes injurious anachronisms. These remarks will apply both to the body of theories sometimes called "The Science of Education" and to the sub jects taught in any school. "I do not believe," said Professor Tyndall in a lecture before The Royal Institute of Great Britain, "I do not believe that it is the mission of this age, or of any other particular age, to lay down a sys tem of education which shall hold good for all ages. The basis of human na ture is, perhaps, permanent, but not so the forms under which the spirit of hu manity manifests itself. It is some times peaceful, sometimes warlike, sometimes religious, sometimes skep tical, and history is but the record of its mutations." PUPIL. New Advertisements. MULES! MULES!!
