Q^ay and Cameron, of Pennsylvania, and Plumb, of^ Kansaa/are outspoken againBt 'v'::it, and Ingalls is generally understood to be. opposed to it. They are all Republi gfcans. But the New England Republican Senators, who v generally: dominate ^^that body, are solidly for it. " Editor George W: Childs, of the Phil BpfelphJa Ledger, Bpent ahappy Chriatmaa. He gave away $20,000 in cash, besides hundreds of books and other presents. Of the cash, $10,000 went to the employees ^M^a'r-^a^'-'Ledger, building. No-one was overlooked from the basement to the * composing room. Each of the office boys Kwcei'ved $20, while some of the editorial gifts were up in the hundreds. ."My greatest happiness at Christmas," said Mr. Childs, "comes from the fact that I . :*"am able to give happiness to . others." Kp-Hon. W. D. Simpson, Chief Justice of \ : the Supremo Court of South Carolina, died at hiahome in Columbia onDecem ; ber 27/of heart disease. He was a native of Laorens, and about sixty years of age. Judge Simpson was elected Lieutenant ^GovernOiSwith Governor Hampton. On : .the restoration of the State Government in 1876* to Democratic control, he suc? ceeded to the Governorship on the elec? tion? of General Hampton to the United Stated Senate, and before the close of his term as; Governor was elected Chief Jus? tice, Hon. J. C. Sheppard succeeding him" . v; as Governor. ' 'vv' During the past year several physicians in New Yorkhaye tried, with a gratifying v;-*.'?u?ce3s, a novel treatment for dyspepsia and cancer of the stomach by washing ^om^that organ.., The process is very 'simple'and not dangerous. A long flex -r, ible pipe is .passed down the throat until one end is in the stomach. The upper end has a funnel attached, into which ho**, water is poured untiHhe stomach is fill- I ? ed; ' The weight of the water in the pipe ) 'and funnel gives a hydraulic pressure " sufficient to "distend the stomach.; The '^pip? has an aperture big enough to hold Ajlead pencil. After the stomach has "^fbeen filled, the funnel end of the pipe is. ' (e^ dowii' until' it is lower- than the ttom of '.he'etomach, and the stomach emptied^ as a barrel of .any fluid is einp i through a siphon. -The process may rapej^ed several times. ;The result is he undigested food and mucous are fliegent, and the hot water closes the ood vessels and. reduces inflammation. ;e';result ia immediate.. The "dyspeptic | ^?hiivethis stomach washed oh t before a meal, so that he can take a fresh start. " fj^^e Japse'of a sufficient time for or a^^dJgestion, the stomach ^ may be fc.agairu_. This process has been e'New York hospital, we are t for some time. h The Tillman Legislature, as soma call jit, says the Colombia Register, has come ~j||me and Btill we Bnrvive. What i"a8":it done ? Well, the people, will lever know a 'shadow of difference Btweenthis and the Legislatures that ^le&rc it. If the usual appropria in had been made for the State House She possibility is this body would have pent more than the last, Legislature. lit ia-now,;we can see no material pednction of expenditures. There have an. some changes made in methods, 3, for instance, aa the creation of a fosphate commission - to manage the phosphate property and collect the roy "of the State. This doty has hith ^ischarjged by the Agricultural it a cent of cost. The ^charge of this jh posai )t ssem Tll suffer no 'for. The State ng, as well as of | ffered no harm, and ole ; round of. legislation iy don't think there is much ir; complaint nor much for special endation. Things will work pretty JP^moothly,. and with a good crop next year the .people will soon forget that a new set of officials are in the State House. We honestly, think that we will a?|Ke;Sr good enough government any j; and see no sense in all the talk c tbe State having gone to the devil use-,?there" has ?been a change of ^officials,^It'iTwOTse than folly to talk in wavy-; it is unpatriotic and selfish, e Register at least is not going to quit the-'Bhip on account of a change of] ?aptains. We shall be glad to see any improvement in the conduct of affairs by e-pxesent administration, and will most ly regret any shortcomings. We to see the State debt successfully . placed and the State's affairs attended to ?^Der?lly.with watebfolnese, vigor and ^(itoe^stricteat integrity. With Euch a ^yernment the people of the State will >ave bo reasonable groonds of complaint, .aadLmark it, won't complain.' So we -take leave of the Assembly, tbankirg it as" mach for what it has not done aa ' ?anything else, and wish every member /pro or anti a happy return home and 'rnesrry Christmas. " ' r ' What onr New Laws Cost, At the rccent session of the Legislature 235 Acts and Joint Resolutions were passed. Of this number only 44 were of a public nature, while 191 were of purely local and special significance. This is not a good record. A very great mass of the bills introduced during the session which were not passed were of a purely ?rivate and special character, aud the legislature, which was elected for the purpose of making laws for the benefit of the people, djd not succeed in attain? ing the objectB for which it was chosen. We have entirely too much legislation. Of the making of laws there is practically no end, and "local and special legisla? tion," as Governor ? Tillman said in his ?inaugural address, "are tho curses of our time." . ? In his address before the American Bar Association in 1886 the Hon. Wil? liam Allen Butler directed attention to the unnecessary or impracticable legisla? tion which distinguishes the sessions of all the State Legislatures and the equally great disproportion between the laws which promote private and local inter? ests and those which are of public con? cern. Dr. Butler estimates that the price paid for current legislation in the States and in Congress cannot be less than ten millions of dollars annually. It is estimated that each Act and Joint Resolution passed by the General Assembly in this State?the printing of the bill, the time consumed in the com? mittee rooms and upon the floor of the House or Senate, and in the engrossing rooms, is in round cumbers about $150. Accepting this estimate as very nearly correct, the cost of public legislation . during the recent session of the General Assembly was $6,600, and the cost of local and special legislation was $28,650. It does not require any argument to show that too much money is expended by the State upon legislative matters, in which the State as a whole is not greatly in? terested. The recent Legislature was in session for thirty days and during this time was actually employed in the work of legislation for only twenty-five days. The average number of bills passed a day was nine'and a fraction. This was a very good record, so far as the cumber of bills passed a day was concerned, and compares very favorably with the record made by Legislatures before the war, but the objection is not to the dispatch of business so much as to the number of measures acted upon by the Legislature which should never have been introduced in that body. ' In 1859 the General Assembly of this State passed lipon the measures brought before it at the rate of eight a day. In 1883 the Legislature performed the feat of disposing of twenty measures a day. In 1859 the General Assembly threw oat three-fourths of the measures proposed. In 1883 it enacted half of those which were introduced. Iu 1859 the General Assembly passed forty public Acts and nineteen private Acts. In 1883 the num? ber of public Acts was 171 and the no tu? ber of private Acts was 113. In 1890 the cumber of public Acts passed by the General Assembly was forty-four ana the number of local and special Acts was 191. Several attempts have been , made to prescribe and regulate the ictrodnction into the General Assembly of measures relating purely to private interests, and there has been a reduction in the mass of local and'private legislation, but the late General Assembly broke the record, so to speak, of more recent years. At this session fuliy three fourths of the time of the Legislature, was taken up in the discussion of matters of small moment to the public, and the weightier matters of legislation were rushed through at railroad speed, without full discussion and because they had been determined upon as "imperative to the success of the Administration in power." We attribute a great deal of the unne? cessary time consumed by the Legisla? ture to the inexperience of "the members of the House and not to any disposition on their part to make laws without ex? cuse. We presume that daring the recess all of these matters will be fully considered by the members of the Gen? eral Assembly, and. when the next ses? sion is held there will be, as Governor Tillman suggested in his inaugural ad? dress : "An absolute refusal to waste time on silly, wild cat schemes and local and special legislation, which "are the curses of our time." At_any rate, we shall hope for so desirable a consumma? tion.?Newa andCourier. Clemson College, President Strode and Secretary P. H. E. Sloan, of the Board of-Trustees of the Clemson Agricultural. College, were in the city yesterday the guests of Col. J. S. E. Sloan. Both gentlemen will leave the. city for Colombia this morning to take charge of the remains of the late Agricultural Bureau of South Carolina. Dr. Strode was asked last night by a reporter for the News and Courier about the progress of the work at Fort Hill. He said that tbe buildings were all pro greasing very satisfactorily. The walls are going up as rapidly as could be ex? pected and most of the material is on the grounds. Dr. Strode is giving the work bis personal attention and seems-to be. -very much pleased with the prospects of an early completion of the necessary buildings. At present he is the only member of the faculty at Fort Hill, the site of Clem? son College. Col. M. B. Harden, recently of the chair of chemistry of the Virginia Military Institute, chemist in chief of the Clemson College, has gone to Colombia to take charge of the State chemical lab? oratory daring .the few weeks that it will require to complete tbe laboratory at Fort Hill, before the transfer can be made. As soon as possible the move will be made. The most important business to come up before, the trustees will be the arrange? ments Tor the transfer of the property of the department of agriculture to' the Clemson College. Dr. Strode suggested that it would be well for the trustees to consider the recent Acts of the Legislature which - affect Bmisoa College.?Newt and Courier, cembcr 29. I Look out for Queer Money, |L PiTTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 26.?A gigan Rc conspiracy to flood the United States ?nth I counterfeit silver dollars has been , Hterthed, and to the energy and intel | fine of the officials of the First Police 1 aftripf" Pittsburg is due the credit. Bkpersons are already under ar Hfr.100 in spjrious coin ia iu the SBHBrthe police. The money was brought from a central depot in New York City to Pittsburg by a gang of Italians. The money was all in silver dollars and United States two dollar certificates. Detective Sweeney says this is the best counterfeit of the standard silver dollar that was ever made. The coin is perfectly formed in every detail, and its ring identical with the good coin, the only fault about it being it is a little light in weight. ?. From the persons arrested here infor? mation was gained that the money was made in New York and they had been sent here to dispose of it. Similar gangs were sent to other cities, but the men could not tell what particular cities were being operated in. Not a mould or die of any kind was found in tbe residence of the gang arrested here. Indianapolis, Dec 24.?This city has been flooded with $2 counterfeit sil? ver certificates of the issue of 1888. The bogus bills have begun to turn up at the banks by tbe hundreds. Their circula? tion is ao great that Treasury Agent Carter has notified the public to refuse all $2 bills of the aeries mentioned. ? The ordinary nervous headache will be greatly relieved, and ia many cases entirely cared, by removing the waist of one's dress, knotting the hair high upon the head oat of tho way, aod, while leacing over a basin, placing a sponge soaked in water as hot as it can be borne ou the back of the neck. Repeat this many times, also applying the sponge be? hind the ears, and the strained muscles and nerves that have caused so much misery will be felt to relax aod smooth themselves out delicioualy, and very fre? quently the pain promptly vanishes in ccn-equence, The Edlsto Phosphate Works Bnrneil. Charleston, December 25.?The ex? tensive fertilizer works of the Edisto Phosphate Company, on the banks of the Cooper Biver, about three miles North of j Charleston, are on fire and have been burning since 4 o'clock this afternoon. A steam tug has been dispatched to the scene of the conflagration, and efforts are now making to borrow a steamer from the city to be Bent up on a special train. It is doubtful, however, if the fire department will lend an engine. The fire is burning fiercely now, and there is very little doubt that the entire plant will be destroyed. The fire is said to have started in the engine room. The loss will.be over $250,000, but is fully covered by insurance, all placed in com? panies having agencies here. The company was organized in 1881 with a capital stock of ?200,000, but tbe stock is now quoted at $210 a share. T. B. Graham of this city is president, and J. B. E. Sloan, treasurer and general agent. A good deal of the stock is said to be owned in Anderson County. ? Mr. J. C. Herring, who lives near Wallaceville, in Fairfield County, has found a lump of gold weighing one pound and a half, and has refused an offer of $1,500 made bim iu Columbia. ? Mr. Herring will not disclose the spot where such may be found, but gives the vague answer that it exists on a certain hillside in Fairfield.? Winnsboro News and Her? ald. ? A colored hack driver in Macon, Ga., a few days ago drove a blind man to his home and received in payment what he thought to be two dimes and a nickel. After awhile, when the driver was bal? ancing his cash, he found a 5 dollar gold, piece among his coins. He at once re? membered where he had. gotten it, and as he could not find the blind man, he car? ried it to the city officials to be turned over to its owner. This is an exhibition of honesty worthy of commendation. Is Consumption Incn rable? Bead the following: Mr. G. H. Morris, Newark, Ark., says: "Was down with Abscess of Lung, and friends and physi? cians pronounced me an -Incurable Con? sumptive. Began taking Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, am now on my third bottle, and able to oversee the work on my farm. It is the finest medi? cine ever made." Jessie Middlewart, Decatnr, Ohio, says: "Had it not been for Dr. King's New Dis? covery for Consumption I would have died of Lung Troubles. Was given up by doctors. Am now in best of health." Try it.
