I' L lual' iVL LJ- CCV113 . - - TILLMAN ON MONEY. Roosevelt and Cortelyou Flayed Holds up Clearing House Bank Certificates for Ridicule. A characteristic speech was on M1 inday delivered in the senate by Se.iai or l illman. Mr. Tillman spok. ->n his reolutioin .hrecting an in ve.tiAaaion of the re:-ent bond issues en.i clearing house cert'-icates, but 'ie tcok occasion to cimn. ut on a good many matters concrning a financial affairs of the country. "I iiiust confess I have not studied fir ai-e very much from the books,'' be gan Mr. Tillman apologetically. "My own- labors in that direction having been confined to my own expenses." Mr. Tillman said he did not know wlh.:her the criticism of tir chairman of the house committee on banking and currency (Mr. Fowler) had caus ed the sec-retary of the treasury to halt in the, issuance of bonds, but a change of plan seemed to have been made and he had not been able to learn how mnch of the proposed bond issue had been put out. He ex pressed the opinion that the secre tary had violated the spirit of the law if he had not violated the law it self. "If we are not in the midst of a panic, we are in the midst of a chill produced by the danger of a panic,'' declared Mr. Tillman. The treasury, he said, has "dump ed" its money in Wail street and the country has praised the patriotism of J. P. Morgan "in aiding the coun try to get a grip on itself and not let everybody go crazy and precipi tate further loss and horrors on the country." Speaking of a published interview with the president by Mayor Dahl man, of Omaha, in which the presi dent is alleged to have said that if he was responsible for the panic he was glad of it, as it had brought to view the rotten conditions of the country's finances, he said: "I fear that Mr. Dahlman is in imminent danger of joining the An anias Chib. Perhaps somebody here will use the 'phone and find out about that." He said that he would not worry about the panic, but he found so many facts connecting the treasury -department, even the senate and the house of representatives, with Wall street that he was compelled to re-cc ognize them, -especially as the far mer the cotton planter andl the man ufacturer were affected. He said he wanted to know who struck "Dilly Patterson.'' He spoke of the manner in which the financial stringency has operat ed. "And,'' he added, "the president says he- is proud of it. I cannot be i lieve he said . it. He has aid many things lacking discetion, but I do ~ot believe he is so callous as to feel any pleasure in the condition of par alysis which confron.ts us. I believe eis a patriot, though he has per s shown it badly at times.'' ~cules aClearing House Certificates senator held aloof a banking certificate- and in a loud voice upon the senate to look at it. is a specimen,'' he declared. -like what you eall Confei ey-shinplaster- and they by national banks. Look .going to have it engravad e done without destroying t it in the Congressional But I don't propose to have it yed and lose a dollar just to Eghten you upon the currency He 'wanted only good greenbacks and ini rasping. tones, speaking of the necessity' of money, he said: "You will have to go to the bone vard if you can't get it.'' As between the "shinpl-asters'' in the form of Cl*aring House certifi ates and greenbacks he said he would refer greenbacks based on railroad d other stocks and bonds, although ey were, in his opinion, filled with ter. He was, he said., daily in receipt letters from people who think rknow all about the currency and sche mes for currency reform. ut I don 't even read them.'' Ire .It has been alleged, he said, the bonds recently issued had been 'sold to the highest bidders; he read a newspaper copy of a by Mr. Schram, of New York, he had bid $1.03 1-2 on $50, the bonds but had not receiv of them. althiough they had low as $1.02. The commit inance, he adde-1, could find tier that is true. mnptrollers of the currency. are so complaisant and po they are in oficee t'hat "al v one of them has graduat e presidency of a bank." anciers Put in Prison. ials about thre president. out to join the kings of titlan('e.

He referrcd to a rpsolution he had introduced in the senate a year azo for an inquiry into the failure of the bank of which John R. Walsh, of Chicago, was the president, but a year and a half had gone by before the trial had begun. As Walsh is under trial, he said, he would not comment further on that subject. He had on Saturday telegraphed the dictrict attorney in New York asking about recent bank failures, but that official replied that he could not give out the information regarding the investigation that is being made. "I expected to be put off," d, elared the senator. "That seems to be the policy of the department of justic-e and the treasury depart ment." Mr. Tillman said he only intended to bring these matters before the committee on finance as questions for them to answer. When th2y should answer them, he said, he would ask more cuestions. SENATORS WILL WORK. Tillman and Latimer Get their Com mittee Assignments. Washington. December 17.-South Carolinians 'vill be interested to learn what committee assignments have been given Senators Tillman and Latimer for the 60th congress. The announcement was made by the president of the senate today. Senator Tiilman is on the commit tee on appropriations. Canadian re lations, forest reservations and pro tection of game, Inter-State com merce, mines and mining, five civiliz ed tribes, irrigation, naval affairs and expenditures in the navy depart ment. The only change in his as signments is the addition of the last named committee. Senator Latimer is on the commit tees on agriculture and foresty, cen sus, commerce, irriigation, manufac tures. Pacific railroads and public buildings and grounds. At his re quest he was left off the committees on cornora.tions in the District of Columbia and patents and placed in stead en the committee on census. As all of these are important pla ees same excellent work should be done~ by south Carolina 's senators for the people at home during the present session of congress. P. H. McG. Is There a Santa Calus? The late Francis P. Church in the New York Sun. Once a little girl wrote tahis letter to the editor of the New York Sun: "Dear Editor: I am eight years od. Some of my friends say that there is no Santa Claus. Papa says: If you see it in The Sun, it's so.' Please tell me the truth. Is there a Santa Claus? "Virginia 0. Hailon.'' Virginia: Your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the sqeptioism of a skeptical age. They will not believe except they see. Yes, Virginia, -there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and ive to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas, how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa laus! It would be as drearf' as if there were no Virg'inias.

Did you ever see the fairies dancing on the lawn? Of couse not. But that is no proof that they are not there. You might get your papa to hire men to watch all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees S'anta Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neiti1er children nor men ever see. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen and unsecable in this world. ):ou may Lear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise insi le, but there is a veil covering the un s en world which not the strongest man that ever lived could ever tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love and romance can push aside that curtain and view and picture the su pernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all izal? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abidin. No Santa Claus! Thank God, he lives, and he lives forever. A thous and years from now, Virginiar-nay, ten times ten thousand years from now-he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. Observing Regulations. Capt. Roald Amundsen, Norway's famous Arctic explorer. in the course of a dinner given by Consul General Raven at the Waldorf-Astoria in his honor. praised the American army. "Your volunteer system seems to me admirable," he said. "Such brave and intelligent volunteers as yours are rarely to be found. Even the funny stories that are told of these young men-untrue stories they are, as a rule-testify to the sturdy independence of the volun teer's character. "I have in mind a story that I heard about a national guard encamp ment last summer. A new volunteer, who had not vet quite learned his b'isi:uess. was on sentry duty one r'ight wvhen a friend brought him a pie from the canteen. "'As he sat on the grass eating tie pie. t-he major sauntered up in undress. The sentry not recognizi:1g him, -did not salute, and the major stopped and said: " 'What's that you have there i' "'Pie.' said the sentry, good-na turedly. 'Apple pie. Have a bit?' ''The major frowned. "'Do you know who I am?' he asked. "'No.' said the sentry, 'unless you're the major's groom.' "Tihe m'ajor shook his head. "''Guess again,' he growled. "' The barber from the village ?" "'Maybe '-here the sentry laugh ed-'mnaybe you're the major him self?' " 'That's right. I am the major,' was the stern reply. ."The sentry seradbled to h,is feet. "'Good gra'cious!' he exclaimed. 'Hold the pie, will you, while I pres ent arms!'" ''Washington Star. BROADDUS & rF HAVE A pretty line of Christmas cards, al so toys, &e.
