If Senator (lary will keep up the pace thai lie lias set as a worker in the senate, ami 11 is term is Ionic enough we expect to see the capitol moved to Abbeville. In two weeks of service he has had Abbeville inserted in the Public Building Bill, with an appropriation of .t7.>,U00, favorably reported on. Congressman Aiken already has a bill before the house asking for this atmounl for Abbeville, and with a little cooperation between them il looks almost like a sure tliingr, No belter team can be found anywhere. Members of con.iirees may be divided into three class,-s. viz: men who think (himrs. men who say things and men who do thi 11 vs. Our representatives are distinguished in the latter class.? Abbeville Press and Banner. With a member in each end of the Capital at Washington, and both "workinjr members, Abbeville slioull /ret most anythini*- she wants or asks for. We congratulate Abbvville on her irood fortune and hope she will ' soon have her public building. Now is her opportunity, and opportunity knocks oiiee at every man's i^ate. capitol at Washington, auT bo III ami some has said knocks lint onco ; Now is the time to move the capitol. j NOT A CANDIDATE. ' The editor ?>|' this paper wishes it . to It,- distinctly underst I. hiht for \ all. that lie is not a candidate for the | I'nited State S.-nate. While it is | true thai we have been importuned by , 'every man, woman and child of he- , niocralic alliliation to enrer the race. | yet, in view of the fact that I lie posiIion otters merely a pittance of seven , thousand live hundred, with extras, , against the princely income of our , present position as chief editor of the , Chronicle, we must decline. To be , perfectly candid, we think il would be j against our interest, and against the v interest of the State, for us to accept the position. This decision is final.? 'Clifton Chronicle. 11 is very ureal ly to be regretted thai Kdile.r S. T. lieid, of the Clifton Chronicle, positively revises me port unit ies of his friends to become n candidate for the Cnited States | senate. This makes the fourth declination recentl\ to cuter the race for this i hi _?h and responsible position. We trust that the y.real mortality durini; the past year in the Cnited Slates senate has not had any influence upon these South Carolina statesmen.

A1 the bottom of the Apache ques-{ ton is the apprenticeship question.' The one is dependent upon the other. | In a new "revue" at the Bonffes Ca-| . . , ? 1 * risiens is the Injure of a Cans rullian 1 with a crown upon his head and a I purple mantel upon hi- shoulders, lie is Kin.1 Apache. The royal consort. | a lady of the familiar type, comes to him and -ays thai a foreign ofliccr wauls to .-ee him. There is straightwav introduced t ? him a policeman, who is questioned as to his occupation and starts in life much as if he were an inhabitant of Mars suddenly come to this earth. No one has ever seen his like before. The audience lauehs at the exaggerated irony and facetious witticisms of the authors; but in reality il is a matter that has lon<_; passed the laughing stage. And behind this figure of King Apache, (enthroned in Paris, is a Iriste regiment of workless apprentices. Tlio Apache is the apprentice thai is not apprenticed. Instead of entering; lb.3 workshop, where he may learn a useful trade, he goes upon the street where he becomes an adept in robber} % :in?l midnight attacks. During tin* past f ew tnonths an ex t raonlinary agitation lias boon car riotl -on in the commercial and indus trial world to establish Hie old system ol' apprenticeship, now almost dead. The papers have boon full ol suggestions oL' people who as economists or as employers of labor, havt an interest in the solution of the question. There are no more apprentices. Why? Some people pretend that it is because the parents, nowadays, wish their children to earu money immediately, and are no longei willing to support them whilst they learn the practical 'essentials of a trade; hence they encourage them to take places as messenger boys or to shift for themselves without inquiring whether they are receiving any useful training for the future. But this is only a partial reason for "la crise de I 'apprentissage.'' The answer is given, today, by the authoritive pen of M. Jules Mel i ire, senator for the Vosges and a former prim-a minister. Neither the avarice of parents nor the unwillingness of youth In ciilcr the workshops and factories is the real cause of the crisis. I hat resides in the fact that (lie workshops ch?si> their doors to the wouldbe apprentice. This state ol things has prevailed since a certain famous law itassed on March 30, 1000, The law is paved with good intentions, like the road to the nether regions; those intentions are equally ineffective. It is. unfortunately, the custom in France to vote social and oilier legislation without adequate inquiry. No export evidence is taken; hence, there are perpetual difficulties n the proper execution of the laws. Defects, hitherto unsuspected, aro discovered in practice. It has been so villi the Sunday rest act. which has .iveil rise to immense agitation and n Hid I'd damage on a variety of incresls. simpl,\ because il was voted Ii\ a chamber inciinpclent to dis ii-s tci-linical questions and too wed1,'d to general Socialistic principles Tin' law ol March 110. 1000, declar.,1 thai in factories which employed ivomen and children the work should ml be prolonged beyond ten hours a lav. The principle of the act was adnirahle; to prevent women and young icrsons from overtaxing their strength and injuring their health by i too long sojourn in the tins'-laden ilinosphere of the factories. But, unfortunately, il has had a mo>t evil effect. As the normal wo.king hours in France are 1- and not ".(). the masters have abolished tin apprentice, so as to be free to employ their hands to I he limit of the customary working day. A most important (reputation <">1 employers of labor in the principal trades of Paris have waited upon "M. Yiviana. minister of commerce, askin r that the law be altered so as to allow I lie adult male worker to continue lilabor, to (lie lull extent ot I he workinv day. in laetorie> e-mplox'm .' i'/ Idren which, Ihey declare, would not hinder ihe working of (lie ael in respect ol the children I hemselves. hi the opinion of most authoritative persons, this alteration would have the desired effect of restoring the apprentice to the work shop. lint I lie proposed remedy is so ridiculously simple and >o entirely unseusai ional that il hardly appeals H the '-'real 'elect of llie people, to tin spoilt darling of universal sullrage. No, tiiev sav ibis touches a great anil sacred principle. II you allow men to work 1- hours a day in factories emplovuig young persons, then the latter wll be encouraged lo break the law and continue 1 heir labor, loo.
