It is evident that the General As sembly will put in all of the forty days allowed by law. Many important measures will have to be rushed through in the next ten days. On account of the serious illness of his son, President Roosevelt was for ced to abandon his trip lo Charleston and will not be there to-day. This will be a great disappointment to thn crowd of people who have gone to Charleston. The treaty by which ihe Danish West Indies are to be acquired by the Vnitcd States has a curious provision that allows the people of thc island to remain Danish citizens and to hold allegiance to the Danish throne, while the lands belong to thc United States. -m - ? m Mr. Roosevelt appears to bc not merely asserting his independence of party machinery, but going out of his way to place affront upon thc regu larly chosen officers of the organiza tion. There is surely a storm coming, and how tho President will fare as a result of his rough rider politics it is yet too early to determine. The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph very truly remarks that the Schloy-Sainp son controversy, the Philippine prob lem, and the pension swindle, taken altogether, are moro than enough to make every friend of his country go down on his knees and pray that wo may never have another war for two thousand years to come. Representative Lovering, of Mas sachusetts, wants ex-presidents to re ceive an annual salary or pension of $25;000 a year in order that "he may properly maintain the dignity of his position." Mr. Cleveland seems to have maintained the dignity of his position without help and to have found time to go fishing, too. An exohange thinks the impending contention between the two houses of Congress as to the rights of each house may mean that there will be little legislation by Congress, and then eonoludes that this doesn't make any special difference, ll might be a blessing in disguise. The fear of legislative bodies in these latter dayo is that they will do too muoh, and while there is muoh legislation need ed the country could manage to wag along without about three-fourths of the kind it generally gets. A recent statement from the Pen sion Bureau at Washington shows that there are on the roi 1B on account of the Revolutionary war 9 pension ers- 4 widows and 5 daughters; on aooount of the war of 1812, 2 surviv ors and 1,527 widows; on account of the Indian wars 1,086 survivoro and 3,479 widows; and on aooount of the Mexican war 7,563 survivors and 3,109 widows. The Charlotte Obser ver remarks that this is a very cheer ful showing for those who hope to live to bee the last pension payments made on account of the oivil war and the war with Spain. Never before have there been BO many plans suggested for federal ex penditures. The regular and neces sary expenses of the government nat urally inorease with the growth of the country, and every year more objeots of appropriation are adopted. The extent to whioh this tendency has gone is indicated by the proposition to pension all ex-presidents at the rate of $25,000 a year, whioh quite a number of newspapers are advocating. We oannot believe that any snob, out rageous perversions of our pension system will be sanctioned by con gress, at least in this generation. We have already established the system of pensioning the widows of presi dents. We pay presidents $50,000 a year, and they should take oare of themselves when they leave the white house._ Tho industrial commission whioh has been at work investigating with a view to recommendations and sugges tions in behalf of the industries of our oountry, has published its papers. In regard to trusts, it recommends the power of the government to super vise the same, also that the books of all corporations shall be open to in spection at all times. This, it is thought, will protect, in a great meas ure, the publio from imposition in over estimation of capital nn<? other practices of chicanery common to cor ? porations. With regard to the gov ernment owning" railroads, the com mission thought best not to interfere .. with the present oondition of this business, and the same opinion was held in regard to the government own ing telegraph lines. Some suggestions in regard to taxation will appear in the publications of the commission, but not of very great import. Now is the time for farmers to plan and work tor another crop, rivery suitable day for plowing should now be utilized iu sowing oats and break ing up '.and. Tho farmer who makes an eariy and energetic start will very likely bo ahead all thc way through. COLUMBIA LETTER. What Our Law Mahers are Doing at the State Capitol. From Our Own Correspondent. COLUMBIA, S. C., Feb. 10.-Special: Another week of tho Legislature's for ty days in Columbia has gone and ninny matters of major and minor importance have boen disposed of, although the Assembly has really put in only four days work. Saturday and Friday wen; spent in Charleston seeing the sights at the Exposition on the invitation of the Exposition management. The Governor and many State officials went down on the special train with the leg islator: ... .\< TS KATI FI KU. liefere leaving the two houses held the ii rsl joint session for the ratifica tion of Acts Thursday night. In all twenty-nine bills which had been "passed" by both houses were "rati fied,'* and having been ?signed by the Governor will become laws nt the re spective dates numed within their pro visions. Tim most important Acts rat ified-and in all probability thc most important to be passed this session were the bill regulating the drawing of juror? and the bill adopting tho cod ification of the Statutes. Moth of these aro mensures incapable of arousing en thusiasm, but so far as the machinery of government and law is concerned they are of fundamental importance. Among other Acts ratified were the following : An Act to provide for the payment of costs in criminal cases where trans ferred from one County to another. An Act to amend Section 1010 of tho General Statutes in regard to the ap praisement of personal property of in testates so as to allow qualified electors to act as appraisers. An Act to protect keepers of board ing houses. An Act to prevent the salo of certain tire-crackers. An Act to anKnd the Act relating to the issue of Savannah Valley Railroad bonds by tho City of Anderson. An Act to incorporate the French Broad and Southern Railroad. An Act to amend Section 084 of the Revised Statutes, relieving dentists from jury duty. An Act to give a copy of the Code and Acts to the University of the Sonth at Sewanee, Tenn. An Act providing for the winding up or dissolution of nil corporations. An Act to provide for the sale or ex change of certain railroad bonds held by Chesterfield County. A Joint Resolution to authorize the Secretary of State to give to the Ladies' Memorial Association of Greenwood one of the broken granite columns on the State House grounds. An Act relating to the distribution of the dispensary profits in Bamberg County. An Act p*.:*uorizing cities and towns to issue regmvxjied bonds in exchange for outstanding coupon bonds or to li quidate past indebtedness. TRIVIAL MATTERS. It is surprising to the uninitiated how much time either house can devote to seemingly trivial measures, or to seem ingly trivial portions of a measure. The Senate, for instance, spent several hours on a parliamentary point ono day last week, the discussion being at one time rather more than lukewarm be tween the presiding officer, Lt.-Gov. Tillman, and Senator Graydon. A clash between the Lieutenant-Gover nor and some Senator or other would surprise no one. Then in the House Thursday night while Mr. Efird's prop osition not to accept pay for the two days in Charleston was before the House a spirited debate took place, and Mr. T. Y. Williams gave Ml . Eflrd about the warmest tongue-lashing ever heard in that historio chamber. Mr. Izlar also took an oratorical fall ont of Mr. Eli rd on this occasion. Both Houses have Bpent a good deal of time discussing and amending the bill to include domestic fowls in the provisions of the general stock law, and since amendments were made to it by each House the measure is now in the hands of a conference committee. Outside of this bill and the child labor Juli the House has not considered any measure of very general interest the last week, but in fact the House has about disposed of all the leading or "paramount"' issues. The Senate, on tho other hand, has yet to act on two bills that have passed the House. One is the redistricting bill that will be sure to excite a con test, perhaps a lively one, and the oth er is the biennial sessions proposition. RAILROAD BILLS. The Senate has passed Senator Ildor ton's bill "lo regulate the liability of railroads having a relief department," which, in effect, requires railroads hav ing such departments to carry ont the provisions of its establishment, thus giving them the force of law. The House has passed Mr. W. J. Johnson's bill "to require railroads and railroad companies to accept as full payment for freight the rate provided by the bill of lading and the pro rata of freight on the amount or quantity of goods delivered." the measure being intended to prevent double charges on freight handled by moro roads than one. Mr. Cooper's bill perfecting tho weapon Act, which had passed last ses sion, has received in the House its sec ond rending. It forbids the carrying of a pistol less than twenty laches in length ami three non mir? in waight.. Mr. W. J. Johnson offered an amend ment that it be unlawful for rf person to carry n toothpick, knife or flrecrack ev unless morn than twenty inches in length and non-explosive. The amend ment was lost in ?i storm ol' ayes and nay?. Senator Appell? bill to regulate the trudie in seed cotton was taken up in the Sedate. The bill provided that "all doalers ?hall nay a license of $2.00 per year. No sale windi be made be tween sunset and sunrise. All dealers shall keep a book showing the names of parties from whom the purchases are made and the number of pounds bought." There was a considerable discussion over the measure, after which the bill was killed. This is tho second bill on the samo subject to be killed in the Senate at this session. A FTE? TUE TKUSTS. None of the so-called "anti-truBt bills" have been taken up in either Mouse, but Senator Henderson lias in troduced a bill "providing procedure to enable the Attorney-General to se cure testimony in relation to tho viola tion of Acts prohibiting trusts and combinations and violations of law by corporations." The bill, it is understood, was drawn by the Attorney-General and embodies the suggestions made by him on 'this subject in his recent special message to the General Assembly. The bill pro vides that the Attoruey-Gonernl may secure an order from the Courts re quiting the production of such books and papers as he may deem necessary in making investigations of violations of the trust laws. The house has liually disposed of the child labor bill. After a debate of two days, at times rather personal and bit -ter, tho measure was killed by a major ity of two votes. The vote was taken Wednesday ou a motion to indefinitely postpone and was as follows: Ayes-(oppoBed to the bill)-Messrs. Ashley, All, Austin.
