1i. In A\U 1.1.. 1lil tou . ''hle President has signed the bill pro viding for a new department, known as the departmdnt of commerce. It is very < well understood that the portfolio will be I tendered to the President's Secretary, I Mr. Geo. B. Cortelyou. If it were possible, it would not be a bad move to I make Mr. Roosevelt the head of the I new department of commerce, and to I let Secretary Cortelyou succeed his I chief. But there is no way to save the < country from Roosevelt for a while yet. a 'I'his is the last week of the present session of the Legislature. At least, after Saturday night the pay stops, and there is hardly ally doubt that the makinr of laws will stop at the same 1.im1e. Many good measur "s have passed, and some of the best ha:- failed. We had hoped to see this ILegis;,tture have three important laws to its eelil pro hibiting chihl labor in Ihe .nills, pro viding for building roads by taxation, and requiring the attendanice of chil lren tlpull the schools. Of these three, only the one ptrohibiting child labor got through. liut this in itself is a great st ride forwaiI, and we atnide in the hope t hat the. two others will come 0011. We confess that we do not see what good 'T'illmnali can accomplish by such a(lddresses as Ihe one he delivered before the New York Press (lub att a hancijet on Pridav night. Some of the things he said are only to t (rile. But why not "let, the deadI past hury its dead"? No good canl come to the people of this State horn laving their representative in the I nitedil States Senate cotntimally refer to the t'act t hat in or(der-to wrest Solth Carolina from negro rul' 'we -w're eompelled by tihe exigencies of the situataon to use the shot gun and the tissue hallots. ;tud we used bot h.'' A repet it ion of tle fact certainly will not aid in keeping ol aunt'her such state of atlfairs. Illut the ruam who delivered the a<hress is Tilliiai Sienior Senator from Sout t h Carolnz, :iuul there is nos srprise. It is reportel loim Washington that I'isiIent li i tevelt will insist upon ta vote lbv the Senate on the ('run nomi nation. It is very probable that had not Rtoosev('It himself pressedi the mlat ter no vote woul lhave been taken in tonunittee. But now that the coml.nt tiee has rendered iani at(Iv-re report on the nomimai(n. the President wants the( m'1atter' to go bef'ore the :4ena:te andl( inlit"ates that it' it does lot he will re appoint ('ruim for the recess period. 'ell( President's friends are simply wasting time when t hey attellp t tO ptrovile for their chief a mleais of grace fil retreat. It' the President h;al not pressed the na t."l it is very likely that he would have been free to apl point some one else, and at, the samle timle to sav"e himself Some hmmiliation. ulIt ...._ist'velt is not built tha:.t way.

New York, Feb. 14. -- Senator Tillman of South Carolina spoke tonight at the >anquet of the New York Press club. Ic said in part.: "I cannot understand why I should iave been the only representative of he august body of which I am a mem )er. Now I have no message which have come to deliver to you. In my 'xperience I have found that the better tequainted the gentlemen of the press )ecome with me the better they like me. 3u1 I ask no favors of you. I come from t State where the people do their own hinking and their own voting. "I think this is an occasion on which ought to get even with the press. You mave :365 days in the year in which to nake and unmake public men but. you lon't make and unmake them in the ,t.ate of South Carolina. Re ferring to the negro quest ion, Ie ;aid that President Roosevelt had raised 1 subject that. will not easily down. It md brought forth a number of comn neits from prominent men of the North mcd had raised a storm in the South. \ fter mentioning ai number of these 'OmmltllenltS and the men 111 )Who made theiim lt' said: "You have had this subject .s ,cited, i lalniaed, Irelanded and finally sIooted, and now it Seemtls to mle it is tbout time that we had some one who mnows something about it, say some hing.
