veprt having e na ed o t
conferees on the Imeat inspectior bill
a fe'w days age,' by the spinker of the
lbouse, over the heads of the two
ranking Democrats, he was seen to
day and asked for a statemenit. He
said: "The report does me an, in
justice, in that it proeeds upon the
assumption thiatl was the only Demo
crat on the commnittee wvho voted with
the Republicans to have the govern
ment pay the cost of meat inspection.
The truth of the matter is that there
was absolutely no partisan lines
drawn in the committee on this pro
position. Three Democrats voted with
four Republicans against the proposi
tion, and three Democrats voted with
eight Republicans for the proposition:
thus it is seen, that the Democrats
on the committee w oere eqully divid
ed, three votin~g one way and' three
the iotler, while the Republicans,
though not equally divided, were bad
ly divided. As between the Demo
crats, there was no disagreement ex
cejnt upon the, p)roposition as to who
should pay the cost of inspection. As
for myself, I joined with Mr. Bowie,
of Alabama, in leading the. fight'in
the committee against -both the court
review elause and the civil service
clause, and I announced in the com
mittee, accoring to the custom, that
I reserved the right to vote a ainst
these propoti,.o.s in the opeu bi nIsl
and every statement I have mede can
be verified by the record of the
committee. To put me ia the attitude
of being the lon Democrat who join
ed with the Republicans, and presum
able all the Republicans on this pro
position, is not only a glaring mis
statement of facts, but a gross in
justice to me, though I impute no in
tention to the press to do me an in
j1ustice.
''The announcement of the speaker
of my apointment on the conference
committee came to i as a great sur
prise. I did not anticinate it, and my
first impulse was to rise from my
seate and announce from the floor
my refusal to serve upon it under the
circumstances. I thought it due the
chairman of the committee, however,
as a matter of courtesy that I should
notify him of my intention to refuse
to accept the appointment, and I re
garded it as matter of right that
I should also consult with tie emo
crats who were supporting me on this
p)roposi tion, be fore aninounemng my in
tentionis. And besides, T did noti care
to play the grand stand act and ap
peal for thme applause of the galleries.
As soon as I had (dischmarged my duty
to the chairman of the committee, and
to. my Democratic colleagues, I suwent
to the speaker and told hii that I
would not under the circumstances
serve on the conference committ'ee. I
told him that. Mr. Lamb was the
ranking Democrat on the committee
anid that he was in sympathy with the
bill, with ie exception as to whcao
should pay the cost of insection, and
as a matter of precedent he should
have thme appointment on thme coim
mittee. Captain Lamb is an old Con
federate soldier, a knightly gentleman,
-a patirotic legislator, and a warm
personaul friend of mine. I told the
speaker thuis, and assured him that I
would not he the medium through
'which, my friend was, to be slapped
in. the face. rye sp)eaker congratu
lated me upon the magnanimity of
-my posit ion, and later in the (lay on
page 9011 of tihe record, said, 'the
chair announces as conferees on the
agricultural approp)riation b)ill Mr.
Waswor*th, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Lamb),
The chair will slate that the gentle
man from South, Carolina (Mr. Lever)
came to thue abair and requested to
be excused from service on the con
ferenee committee.'' I not only re
quested to be excused, but I told the
speaker that I absolutely refused to
serve on thme conference,. committee
iuder the circumstances.
''As to my vote upon the propos,i
tion of the government paying thme
cost of inspection, I have no apology
I do not believe that it is the pr'ovince
of aily government to enact legisla
tioni and then :require some special in
terest to. pay for the enforcement of
that legislation~ I believe that it is
* sound governmnent policy,'and for that'
position I have as high authority as
the distinguished, mipofIty. leader,
who annoflnOed practically- th'e. same
derine in lmIa speech'oni the quaratine
bill. I felt, also, and the tgstimbuny of

. (4i 4 the itiepebf on fn.S -
.: 0t0r
beor yee committee soane time ago,
says that the packers vonld shift the
cost upon the .consumer and I?roducer;
and the presi-ent himself was in
fav~ ofoS the packers paying for the
inspection only because lie feared that
congress would not appropriate an
adequate sum for a -thorough execu
tion of the, law. The representatives
of the cattle growers protested that
they would have to bear tihe bulk of
the fee, even if it put upon the pack
er's, and those of us who believe in
the doctrine that the consumer pays
the tax, could hardly take any other
Position than that the governent
ought to pay inspection outright in
the beginning, without equivocation,
or beating the devil arQund the stump.
I believe .in the direct way of doing
business, and I believe that the tax
bearer of the pountry is entitled to
know just how his money is being
spent, and if every tap bearer in this
country who is now :suffering under
tariff robbery could know just how
much he is paying in, the way of tax,
there would be a political revolution
in the country in less than twenty
four hours.
"Mr. Williams' protest to the
speaker was based entirely upon .the
poet that his appointment of the'con
fores was a violation of -the preced
ents, and he immediately came to me
and thoroughly explained his posi
tion, and. it was entirely satisfactory
to me, for, as I said, it was my inten
tion fromn the moment the speaker
called my name to refuse to serve on
the committee. This is the whole
truth, and is susceptible for verifi
cation by the records."

Columbia Herald.
''Benton was a most remarkable
man,'' said the late Col. Switzler. ''In
some respects the most remarkable I
have ever known, but he could not be
a career at this time. The pople
would not tolerate him. He would
impre-ss even a stranger by his amp
pearance. He walked as if he owned
the earth. With head raised at an an
ile of 45 degrees .and hands.hehind
his hack he would stalk with measured
tiead down the stret, looking.neither
to the right nor to the left, recog
nmzing no one.
'If he had an annointmient to speak
at 2 o'clock, promptly at 2 o'clock le
would arrive. He would come in his
carriage unattended. He would per
mit no one to int rod,uce him. But
passing through the crowd, he would
make his way to the rostrum and be
in, 'Citizens.' Never did lie say
'Fellow ceitizens.' Those before him
were no fellows of his. And wh'len lhe
had concluded he would make his
wmay back to the hotel, without per'soni
ally addressing a soul in his audience.
No one dared -intearuit him in his
speech. i r'efusd to recognize the
right of any constituent to ask him
how lie stood on any subject.
LAURENS CASE.
May Hang fire a Year, in Meantime
Dispensaries will Remain Open.
Ml%uchi interest has b)een mani fested.
in the outcome of the ltaurens dis
pensary ease. The indications are
that the decision of Judge Hydiek,
which had the effect of holding the
dispensaries there open, will stand
fori six months at least, and probably
for a year if not for all, time. That
-is the .view expressed by Attorney
Welch. The ' anti-dispensary
people have so far shon no disposi
tion to appeal the case, though attor
ney .gener'al 's office has taken the
pr1ecaution to secure until next Sept
ember in which to perfect an appleal
in ease it is decided within 'that time
to take the matter up to the higher
cour't.' Otherwise. the appeal g'ould
have gone by default. The case can
not he presented to the supreme court
until the November ternm nowv, and
as the cir'enit embracing Laurens will
not be reached for several weeks af
ter' the court convenes it is not thought
this case can be 'gued before Janu
ary. .The supreme court tlhen may im
mediately reniler its decision, and
then again it may wait sever'al
months to decide, as it does in the
ordinary run of cases.
