The persistent plea ol' the Inter-State Commerce Commission lor legislation hearing'on the ine,pmlities and dis criminations practiced hy the railroads against certain sections, und thc in herent deafness of that body to such appeals, recalls tho charges oft repeat ed that "tho railroads own Congress anyhow." lt would he quito a grace ful net were the masters to assume nominal control ut the earl ?eat practical moment in order to relieve tho treas ury of the expense (d' maintenance. The passage by the Legi slat un^ of a marriage, license law is in tho line of mindi needed legislation for many years. It is not a little surprising that South Carolina has sn long bern with out this very necessary method of ad mitting to public record the marriage of our citizens, so that in af 1er years if proof he demanded of such marriage or of the legitimacy of any citizen, il can be secured from the proper custodian of the records. A Stale who guards so .sacredly the lite nf marriageagaiiisl il i Voice should he as vigilant lo.ii un rd it against secret contractions and such oilier lax operations pregnant with dornest ie irregularil ies and end h ss 111 i - gal ?on. - i .nj- O m W il li each dav il is becoming more apparent that lr us*, s cannot be cll'eet ively checkmated by negativ?1 legisla tive enactment, so lonjas the turill' is not reduced lo a revenue basis. The trusts themselves seem lo entertain 110 fear that the States eau. through their several Legislature's, .seriously handl ea], their operations. Thc recklessness with which trusts have been promoted, despite public protest, the enactment of drastic anti-trust laws and adverse supreme court decisions, must have forced thoughtful people to the con clusion that where all these agencies fail there is somewhere and in some thing a harbor of refuge for the trusts that neither publie indignation, Legis latures nor Court decisions have been able to invade. - m > ? The Hill appropriating $100,000, in three annual levies, for the completion of the State House was considered un der a special order of business at last night's session. At the hour of going to press, we have no word as to the re sult of the measure, but presumed that it passed without material change, iu asmuch as the present budy has given renewed evidences of progressive spirit and praiseworthy State pride. It is the State's misfortune that she has heretofore been unable to complete the magnificent structure ami was forced to make a contraction from the original plans to effect a temporary completion: but now that her finances are in some what better condition, and inasmuch as capital is looking thia way, (a country's public building being the barometer of her public spirit ?ind enterprise.) it is very titting that we should dross up in honor of that cap? irions young maiden and henil every energy to captivate her constant heart. Strong pressure i- being brought to bear upon Col. Hryaii to induce him to accept an entirely m w issue for the coming campaign inasmuch as the silver question basso seriously divided the Democratic party, and. as is urged, the parly can easily harmonize on the question of imperialism and put tho Republicans on the defensive from the first, lt is doubtful, however, if Col. Bryan is in his proper ?dement outside the free silver struggle, for her?* his re cord is clean and unassailable, but it is j,ninted out that on a platform con demning the war and its eaus?'s. Col. Bryan will himself lu; on the defensive because of his advocacy of the ratifica tion of the Taris Peace Treaty, to which influence, it is alleged, the sue ?.?.ss of th?'treaty in the Senat?' was ?lue.au?'. that lu- as a result was th?; ?11 direct cause of the war. His record ?in imperialism certainly cannot be said to be impregnable, and if th" party is .'hell-bent" on nominating him. it should bestir itself to get a platform to lit him. and not hazard Democratic success by going In d'or?; the people on issues honeycombed with fawning and apologetic explanations. While Brynn made n brilliant campaign four years ?\?o, thc history ?d' ii witt bc remem bered as a losing, so that the shadow defeat, which rests so heavily upon him, would exert such a tremendous adverse influence in another election that, from the present point of view, his candidacy can only be viewed ns a distinct burilen on the party which if pushed to successful nomination in the convention must inevitably end in ignominious defeat, if tho party's stnndar?l bearer must go down under thc battit; of the ballots, let him be a true representative of the party, free fijon? populist ic taint; such defeat will bp more welcome than inglorious vic tory with straddlers, 1'usiouists, anti the disailocted sore toes and sore heads as rival and jealous n?lieB.

Tin- loll has not passed yet; il is no time to abandon ihr light. The I'oinmemlable concern displayed by tho Legislature for ?rood roads in South Carolina is the best indication of good, old time, hard, common, horse sens?' in that representative body of Carolinians. Thc passage of tho Poll to give the preference in the hiring of convicts to Counties for the building of permanent public roads nt ?lx,Q(K) a year is a seven-league stride, und any County that is solicitous for its own welfare need not hesitate now to equip itself with first-class highways on ac count of the expenso. While the scheme will be a paying one to the State, it will also save the Counties much needless expense and greatly facilitate the building of permanent roads, by reason of the easy availabili ty of labor. The other Hill, w hich has passed the Senate, is the "broad-tiro" hill, which proviiles for (he protection of the State's property, the roads, from mutilation by narrow buggy and wagon lires, by prohibiting thc sale of naiiow tired vehicle-, in this Stale af ter, la n na rv li rsl next. We are grnti- | lied l<> note that the measure w.t.-. sup port ed in I In- Se?ale bj mir able repre sentative in thal body, who. hailing from Ihr banner Cuiititj ol' Hie State in good roads, ivrogui d tho necessity of protecting even pi i luaneiil roads against Hie narrow lin?, lt is safe lo say llml when Hie measure comes up in the House. Anderson's delegation will bc where they've always been-on the right side. The scathing arraignment by Bopre sriitalive Wicha]dsnn, of Tennessee, of Secretary (Sage's very questionable connection with the National City Hank, of New York, is a credit to the brilliantTemiesseean. His open, bold and fearless expose of the. tisby trans action by which the favored govern ment bank got the money while the government got the "cahoots"' was ably planned and admirably executed. He showed that from tho sale of the New York Custom J louse to the Na tional City Hank, $?,215,000 of tho pur chase price was paid to the govern ment, which amount was deposited with tho same Hank free of interest, leaving only ??iCiO,(MK) unpaid in order to prevent tho title from passing to evade taxation. The Hank, it is stated, loaned this deposit at enormous inter est, which was its own business, but it remains that the government received not one cent of advantage from it, nothing from the entire transaction in fact but the privilege of paying $i:Ul, ooo per annum rent on the property sold and the satisfying of the hand some contribution to the McKinley campaign fund in 1S9l> which the Na tional City Hank is reported to have made. This last phase of the scandal is by no means new, as the administra tion from its inception luis been but a succession of political debt-paying, so that no revelation alongthis line could be very startling. However, it is not the creal ute who is at fault, but the creator. The people demand political ringsters to administer their tintinees, and what they demand they always get.
