Washington, Feb. 5.?The Senate committee on commerce for the second time |>ostponecl action today on the Crum case...The matter was considered some time in executivo session. % The dis cussiou developed the fact that five Republican Senators were ready to join the Democrats in scotching the Southern nogro policv of the ndminintrfttinn Krienda of the colored aspirant therefore assented willingly when a motion was made to adjourn without taking a vote. While the discussion was held behind closed doors, it is know* that Senator Hanna urged the negro's confirmation, but the words of the powerful liepublican leader proved unavailing. Senator Depew has last landed on the Bide of the Charlestonians ind so expressed himself in the committee room. There has been much conjecture recently regarding the attitude of Sonator McLaurin toward this prospective appointment. The junior Sonator from the Palmetto State is opposed to Crum, and it is known that he has for several days been making (his op position felt in a quiet but effective way.

Senator Hood introduces Three Of Importance. Columbia Record. Senator Hood has introduced three bills in the senate having reference to the dispensary. None of them have yet been acted on by the dispensary committee. One bill is to appoint a com mittee to investigate the management of the dispensary and pro ides for five members, three of the house and two ot senate. The committee is to hold sessions during the year, is to seal its report io the governor who shall trans mit it to the next general assembly. Another hill providos that the membership of the hoard shall be seven members instead of three. They shall give a bond of $10,000 and their terms shall be for two years. They shall receive the same per diem as members of the legislature and not more than for a hundred days. The third bill strikes out the proviso in the present law which reads: ''Provided, further that nothing herein contuined shall prevent said directors of the dispensary from making with dis tillers in this state contracts for the purchase of liquors manufactured by them within this state. In explanation of the amendment Senator Hood says ho un? derslands that dispensary directors construe this proviso as meaning that tho liichlnnd distillery is excepted from the general provisions of the law whereby contracts for purchasos must be mado to tbe lowest responsible bidder and thut the Richland company gets a higher price for its g?od9 than it otherwise would. Senator Hood calls attention in this connection to an article recently written by Mr. J. B. Doutbit in which he claimed that tbo Richland distillery got a higher price for is goods than other distillers.

Bill Introduced to Peiibion KxSlaves. Washington, Feb. 4.?Senator Ilanna today introduced a bill granting pensions and bounties to 8' all ex-slaves who were freed by . u the proclamation of President . Lincoln during the Civil war. t It provides that persons over 50 ^ years of age and less than 60, q whether male or female, shall re- ^ ceivc a cash bounty of $100 and ^ monthly pensions of $8 per month; u persons between 60 and 70 years e old a bounty of $300 and a pension of $12 per month and per- ^ sons over 70 years old a bounty of $500 and a pension of $15 per t month. The bill also provide o for the payment of the bounty and pension to relatives who may c be charged with the care of exslaves. o ^ President Mitchell, of the NaJ v tioual Industrial council, at whose .

Some one has said that Educaion, as a whole is as a mighty nd powerful stream, rushing on * o that shoreless uud fathomless cean?Eternit). The family, the school, tho soial circle, tho pulpit and the ^ >ress are oach and all, but tributary streams, whoso waters will ^ mite and exert an influence salu ary or otherwise upou tho main hannel. If the waters of one of ^ hose streams be neglected or pol uted it will require tho combined ^ md long continued efforts of the * jest and most efficient to prevent ho general, if not the universal iontannnation of the stream I onnaence that binds all hearts nto the sacred and blissful unity if the family, all, have their lastncr influence on t.he education of he child. God has endowed the other with such love for offpring that she will sacrifice anyhing for its interest. So we teed not ask for more zeal on her art hut for a better directed zeal, t seems to me that it is time so ieiy was coming to her assistance n the establishment of schools for raining in the all important art if rearing children. But since re have no such- schools at preent that are accessible to the ;reat majority of parents we as eachers should claim at least th6 operation and sympathy of parnts. Let the two streams come ogether and the flow will be easier >nd the force and power greatly .ccelerated. Let every parent nake this the rule of bis life; 1 vill be to mv o?V?of t ? ... , tt ui*v jl nuuiu < lave his teacher be to him. While ^ 'ou may not have had the trainng and hence are not able to do _ vhat the teacher does yet you have te reason to complain unlets you re daily striving to do as you j rould have the teacher do. Does ' lot this thought accord with the golden Rule? When this rule 1 its been carried out io the lives ?f teachers and public great reults will have been accomplished. Haying spoken in a general way 1 >f '.he relationship that should ex- 1 st between parents and teacher | Jlow me in a plain familiur man- ( mr call your attention to a few I mrticulars in which your cordial ' :o-operation will greatly aid the eacher in accomplishing the remits you so much desire. ' 1. You should aid in securing he constant and reasonuhle atendance of your children. 1 If children are allowed to be bsent for insufficient reason they re, virtually, taught to look up* n thoir school and its duties as of [Uite secondary importance. They ./ I lave helped to form. How imlortant then is our subject, for ho management and guidance of j hose streams depend largely on j ho parent und tbe teacher. As 10 much has been said through ? ( Educational Papers, Teachers In. ititutes, etc., to impress unon the r A I " eacher the responsibility of his )osition 1 think it well that we peak largely of that tributary to ife stream which has its source n the home. 1 need not remind you that iducation has its beginning in the tome. The first look of the other, the words of approval or lisapproval spoken by the father, he family chat around evening r [reside, the parental love and rill fall behind thtir clnssmates ii their studies mil perhaps uc |uire an actual <)islike fur school. )f necessity, most of the instruct ion in^lurgc schools must bo given o whole classes. Tho absentee as forever lust what the class luased over on theTTay of his ab^ enco and some principle necessary j the further pursuit < f that atu[y. Such pupils often thiuk they re justified in playing truant und /ho can picture the awful conscience that might result from this houghl? 1 wonder if parents ver think that by their ke< ping hildren out of school they are lossibly sowing the seeds of crime ufficient to eternally dam the ouls of their offspring? What has been said of the ab entee might likewiso be said of he pupil who is tardy. Remember whatever habit the >oy contracts now will most likey follow bim tbrougb life. 2. If you find tbat the teacher las erred in any way or that your children have been neglected it is four duty to say nothing to any)ne until you have gone to the teacher in the spirit of kindness ind had a full understanding. 3. Encourage your children ;o respect and obey the requirements of the teacher; to be ordery and studiously to regard right. Manifest an interest in their itudies even though you canpot lireclly aid them. 4Improve every convenient occasion, in visiting the school. Space will not allow me to sufficiently urge this request. But. he thoughtful parent will at once see that unless some one besides he teacher manifests interest in he school the pupils will soon 086 interest and think that no one cares lor their progress except the eacher, and that he cares, because t is in the way of his business. Lry this and you will soon see a lecided improvement in the work >f the children. 5. Confer with the teacher ofeu that you may get in line with ;he teachers piuns. Exchange views as to plans of lirecting the habits of children. Be candid and {charitable toward ;he teaoher He may err, and so nay you. Remember there may le two sides to every question and ;hat "A soft answer turneth away vratb." In conclusion 1 would remind eoth teacher and parent of the lebt they owe to the coming generation; that God, in his infinite visdom, places ilia children in be world not as men and women Dut as babes that we may have he responsibility of directing heir growth. Slight this rejponsibility and we must suffer .he wrath and justice of Him who created us. It is not the will of your Father which is in Heaven that one of .hese little ones should perish." S. W.
