At last, after much effort, strug gling and head-scratching, we have succeeded in expressing an ed itorial opinion which has pleased the Greenville News. We hope the Co lumbia State will take hope from this. Billy Ball has actually said that we are right in wanting the judges kept out of politics, and that they should be elected for life. Well, we feel better. By a vote of 60 to 57 Patton's re districting bill was killed yesterday. This saves Clarendon from being torn away from the Sixth Distriet, and also teaches politicians that legisla tion to further their, political ambi tion is not wanted. We hope Mr. Patton will now give as much thought to legislation which will result in good to the masses as he did in en deavoring to build a political ship to sail him into Congress. Even Dan Henderson,a Conserative, the silver-tongued orator from Aiken, paced his room all night considering whether or not there was any chance for him to b9 elected in Judge Mc Iver's place and finding that it was ,impossible he decided not to go into the race. Associate Justice Pope a Re former, however when approached to opposed his chief indignantly refused to do so. What a difference. While we regret Mclver's opposition, we are glad that it came from his own side of the factional fence. The Columbia Register was sold last week for the sum of $5,000. The sale as well as the bid was merely a form to perfect the title. Since the Register has been under the new management we know of no newspa per that has shown more improve ment. It is a good newspaper and we should not like to seo it go to the wall, as some predict it will. To Tnas had occasion to differ with the Register and to take it to task for uin fairness, but that was under the old management. We do not always agree with the views of the Register's present editor, but we can say truth fully that he is a writer of ability and his writings are argumentative, ncot abusive. We regretted to read the fisherwo man's quarrel between the Columbia State and the Register. If what they say of each other is true, then they both have their breeches badly patched,;and they should now try to make an honest living by attending strictly to their own business. Both papers 'succeeded in hanging out their linen for the public to gaze upon, and we do not think we will be accused of acting without authority, when we assert the public does not care a rap if both papers are imbeded in mortgages, and whether or not either or both ever extricate them selves. The people want general news and do not care to listen to pri vate woes. Columbia's city council, has commissioned Chief Daly to listen to people's troubles. Th.. legislature in joint assembly yesterday re-elected the following Judges without opposition: W.C.Ben et,0.W.Buchannan, R.C.Watts, James Aldrich, James C. Klugh, and in place of Judge I. D. Witherspoon, who did not stand for re-election, Hon. G. W. Gage of Chester was elected. After the circuit judges were elect ed, the proceedings were marred by what we regard a burning shame; opposition was offered to the re-elec tion of Chief Justice Mclver. Why this was done we fail to see, when even the pages in the legislative halls could see that Mclver's election was a dead certainty. A few men who would possibly kick if they were given seats in heaven induced Hon George S. Mower of Newberry to stick out his little political rod with the promise that they would cause the lightning to strike it. Mower allowed himself used and was very properly defeated by an overwhelming majority. It was exceedingly in bad taste, after all of the circuit judges were allowved to go under the string without opposition, for the Chief Justice to be selected as a target for the malcontents to vent their spleen upon. Judge Mclver is elected and we not only congratulate: South Carolina upon being so fortun ate to have his retention upon her Clarendon's delegation for voting sol idly for him. We have always had a igh regard for Senator Mower who s a strong conservative, but the weakness displayed by him in this in stance, will here ever after be an ob stacle in the way of gratifying his political ambition. In other words, ustead of Mower being placed in a position to succeed Judge McIver at he expiration of the term for which ae was yesterday elected, by all1e ng the use of his n under the ircumstances oppose McIver, the otes h received will prove spikes n ard and fast into his political coffin because, his conduct was offen sive to both Reformers and Conserva tives. WORK BEGUN. The General Assembly is showing a disposition to do business. A good start has been made and if the pres ent pace is kept up the outlook for a short session with lots of good work accomplisfied is bright. Clarendon's lelegation are at their posts and they, oo, have imbibed of the spirit of push. Our new Senator has already been heard from, and his maiden speech was in opposition to a pro posed amendment to the Constitution hich was to throw the election of udges to the people, or rather into politics. Senator Lesesne made a telling speech in opposition to the measure and the amendment was lost. He has also introduced a bill, to re peal the seed cotton license law, which is being so generally.violated, even in this ordinarily law-abiding county. Then, again, our Senator has offered a bill to grant authority for municipal authorities to have a system of exchange of prisoners be tween county and town. The idea is a splendid one and we sincerely hope the measure will be enacted into law. Our understanding of the measure is that town authorities are to be al lowed to sentence parties for infrac tions of ordinances to the chaingang, and if the town has'not a sufficient number of such- convicts to warrant the employment of a guard, authority is to be given the county supervisor to take them upon the county chain anginstead of letting them stay in the lockup at a dead expense sto the town. Then when the town wants to have work done, the supervisor is to give as many convicts as he received and for the time that he had their services. Should this bill become a law, ordinances against vagrancy can be enforced, and it will put a stop to able-bodied yon men loitering about the streets. Senator Lesesne has also placed before the General Assembly a bill to regulate the rates to be charged for public advertising. The law as it stands is unsatisfactory to the public and the printer, and the effort is to be made to correct the defects in the aw. So far we have every reason Lo be pleased with our delegation in the Legislature. They are looking for the people's interests, and we ar-e specially pleased with the beginning ode by Senator Lesesne, and after e has become more conversant with :he rules of the Legislature we be eve he will make his mark as a sound thinker and an honest worker.

To the people of the United States as come a day of judgment, by which ve mean that they have suddenly aeen brought face to face with their eeds, both of omission and commis sion, committed at the ballot-box. Fhe made William McKinley Pres dent, knowing that he was spot :ed all over with the leprosy of de 3eit and false pretenses. Hundreds f thousands made themselves believe what they themselves knew to be a .ie, and elevated the cause of the gold standard on the mere condition that t would pretend not to be itself. Cheated alike by the Republican eaders and by themselves, they now id their condemnation in the ope-n lebaucery of the administration by he gold power and its shameless submission to the embraces of Mao - non. This we call a day of judg ent for the nation. There will niow e no more prating of international jim etallism. 3reat day of revelation in the grave. I'he hpocrite had left bis mask, and now Stood forth in naked ugliness. All men of sense knew what was ~oming. Wall street never gives muil ions for nothing. When they buy he Presidency with money they own .t. President McKinley drove his :omahawk into the skull of interna :ional bimetallism last summer when be indorsed the Indianapolis mon trosity and all its doings. Previous :o that he had in his inaugural given as adherence to the policy of retir .ng the greenbacks, although he did t in muddy language, hloping it would only be understood by his nasters. In his annual message of December he pledged himself more .:learly to ignore the existing double standard, anud to nullify the laws es :ablishing it. His Secretary of the rreasury loaded his cannon to the nuzzle with gold heresies and ser into the faces of the international bi metallists who still adhered to the Republican party, and set them to wondering whether McKinley would allow him to remain in the cabinet. No kitchen scullion has less voice in naming the guests at his master's din ner table than our titular President has in the financial policy of his ad ministration, or the utterances of his Secretary of the Treasury. And now comes th e JLpu A f 5-clen monetary commission, made up of private citizens, appoiit ed by private citizens, and indorsel in advance by the President of the United States. It comes like the sound of the last trumpet, summon ing men to judgment, preparatory to sifting them out into the two classes, to one of which every man belongs. It declares in favor of making gold coin the only legal tender. It favors the destruction of the greenbacks and the Sherman coin notes. It favors the exchange of silver dollars for gold, and tha sale of those silver dol lars as bullion. It favors the author ization of bonds to be issued when ever it pleases the administration, or rather the owners of the administra tion. It favors an unlimited issue of bank notes by the government to private banks, for which the govern ment shall be responsible, and for the redemption of which it shall have no security. There is no device which has ever been suggested for the ag grandizement of bankers and debt owners which is not provided for in this scheme. It should all be incor porated in one bill and entitled "A bill to confiscate one-half of the prop erty in the United States except money, and to donate the confiscated portion to bankers and creditors." It is a project with no smack of grace in it. Conceived in greed, it is brought forth in utter obliviousness of its shameless origin. Those who framed it are given over to impu dence and ignorance-impudence at daring to ask the people to surrender half their possessions to highwaymen, and ignorance in the utter inability to understand the infamous, because destructive, character of their own proposition. Ignorant because they seek to base credit on general impov erishment, and because they cannot comprehend the impossibility of building individual credit on general ruin. The friends of the people welcome the issue presented by the gold power speaking through its agents, McKin ley, Gage and the Indianapolis Gold Commission. We long for the day when Republican Representatives and Senators will cast their votes for or against it, which they must do at the present session. We long for the day, too, when the people will cast their votes for or against it at the Congressional elections next Novem ber, and the elections for Legislat ures to choose United States Sena tors. When the time came for slavery to destroy itself, it demanded a Con gressional slave code for the free ter ritories. It would be satisfied with nothing less. It was drowned in a sea of blood, and its remains reduced to ashes in the flames of a civil war. In like manner, the gold power, arro gant in its purchased success, de mands the gold standard against wvhich the pepple voted when they placed its two-faced agent in power. This outrage upon the Republican bi metallists, whose votes were obtained for McKinley under false pretenses, will be met by hundreds of thousands of them, as the demand for a slave code was met by Northern Democrats under the leadership of Stephen A. Douglas. Mr. Breckenridge, the can didate of the slave code party was fourtb in the Presidential race of 1860, although supported by a Dem ocratic administration. The candi date of the gold standard party, now so bravely championed by McKinley. will be the last in the Presidential race of 1900. It was when Pharaoh was most certain of his power that he was over thrown. "Pride goeth before de struction and a haughty spirit before a fall." The advocates of the gold standard--treacherous, false, remorse less-have now overloaded them selves with a burden under wvhich they will be crushed. We congratu late the country that the day of its deliverance is at hand. On with the war!-Silver Knight-Watchman.

[Agust Kohn t mrThe News and Courier.] Columbia, Jan. 1.-The General Assembly of South Carolina has done tuore actual work in the first five days of a session thnan has ever before been done. It has not only done hard but efetive work, and iot content with a 'ood beginning, has mapped out abundant work for the future. Night essions have already been started. The legislation up to this time has not beer. radical, it has been far from that. Thare have been an abundance of minor matters acted upon and bills that contemplated useless laws have been killed, because they ought to have been and have not been passed simply out of courtesy to some menm her. That spirit seems to be fast dv ing out. The continued lack of political feel ing andl the disposition to work are thus far the twvo most conspicurn;s featurds of the legislative session. A t the last session it was quite the urnu sual thing to ask that anything be done because it bore the stamp of "reform," and that old time slogan was a thing of the dim past. Meas ures were considered on their merit, except, perhaps, the dispensary and inme tax bills, which came from I "down-stairs," with the executive badge. Let it be said, with rejoicing, that not a single member has thus far this session pleaded for the passage of any measure because it was promised by "reform," or because it will help the movement. That day is fast fading away, and the sensible members see it. There is one Senator wa- ont t, two mw1i,,i s uo seem to be igno ant of this condition, if report be true, and the first thing they know they will be left high and dry, with they possible satisfaction that they have been of use to some one else. If members could hear the free com ment on the gubernatorial situation they would appreciate the fullness of the new era. Something-the dis pen:ary is about the only thing-may provoke partisan discussion, but I doubt that. Members, influential ones, have told me that heretofore they have accepted on faith bills that have come from "down-stairs." They say they have done this long enough, and the Governors have not been successful with the bills they have asked be passed. DISPENSARY LEGISLATION. Naturally the first inquiry is, what will become of the dispensary? Now this is a question that should be prop erly directed to a prophet. Gover nor Ellerbe does not know. Senator Tillman is going to again keep "mouth and hands off." Senator so and-so and Representative thus-and so know as little about results as the on-looker. It is a curious but a help less situation of not being able to solve a riddle. If the members could close their eyes and kick the whole dispensary system overboard without being held responsible for it b: some of their constituents, they would no doubt so do. The dispe:sary is a political incubus, except to those on the inside. There are just now five contending elements, first and fore most, for the undisturbed dispensary system; second, for the elimination of the profit :eature-a mere subterfuge; third, for prohibition; fourth, for li censing under the restrictions of the Constitution; fifth, for option be tween the three systems. The high license element gives no evidences of making a fight at this juncture; they prefer to let the other schemes be tried and fail. Governor Ellerbe's plan will not be successful, unless it should be shown to the dis pensary advocates that it is the only thing possible, and they are not so disposed to believe. The legal mem bers insist that it is farcial again and again to pass laws to have them per forated by the courts, and to antici pate such a fate. Attorney General Barber has all along held that the beverage question, andi not the profit feature, is the crucial test, an.d he has very properly declined to be a party to the preparation of a bill based on the elimination of the profit feature, because he, as the legal force' of the Assembly, realized that the profit feature of the dispensary is not now and has never been the determining issue. Mr. skinner, wvhen he pro posed the resolution that Mr. Barber be called upon to propose a bill that would in his opinion hold its own in the courts, and drive out the "origi nal package" people, did the very best thing possible; whether it will be passed is quite another thing. The situation is just this, the members do not feel inclined to take any radical steps, and so the chances are that the dispensary law will-in all probability be as little changed as possible. Mr. Mayfield's bill, which leaves it for the people' to decide what they want, will be pressed, and would be a sensible way out of the whole trouble. THE sTATE BOARD OF cONTROL. It may not be the proper thing to say, but there is a great deal of log rolling going on about the hotel lob bies. It is principally in connection with the two vacancies on the State Board of Control-as much sought after as the Governorship-and a lit tle us to other elections. The can vassing for membership on the State Board of Control is active, ener-getic and persistent. It appears to be an issue as to wvhether the Board should or should not be reorganized in the intertests-of the chair-manship of Mr. Leon J. Williams. This would nmean the election of Messrs. Haselden and Tim merman, who are credited to be favorable to the chairmanship of Mr. Williams. Mr. Timnmerman's election would mean the defbat of the incum bent, Mr. Marion R. Cooper, who has* been inimical to the Williams-Dou thit interests, and Mr. Haselden is to be opposed by Mir. J. 0. A. Moore, and perhaps-former Senator Biice. The intention appear-s to be to divide up the State, as to the representation on the Board, with due regard to geographical divisions. The positions only pa~y $4 per day during the ses sions of the Board and mileage. . THE JUDIcIAL ELECTIONS. The only circuits in which there will be any contest will be the first and sixth. Judge Benet will be op posed by Gen. James F. Izlar and Representative Bacot, and Judge Witherspoon's iposition, for which he declines to run again, will be con tended for by Representative Gage and ex-Solicitor McDonald. There have been whisperings of opposition to Chief Justice Mclver, but it has failed to materialize. The suggest ion' is that this opposition is being used as a threat in another of the judge ship elections, thle idea being that if aj certain candidate be defeated, Justiace Mclver is to be sacriticed. This i regarded as a great "bluff." The trouble is that the callers have noth ig but a broken straight or flush. They think they have made it, but when the call is made will find it broken. The members of the S preme Court very handsomely an feelingly refuse positively to oppose Jfustice Mclver, and their friends nat urally will not care to see some am bitious lawyer put over them on the bench. Several prominent lawyers, especially on the Senate side, have. been approached and asked to make the race, but declined,and so there ap pears to be talk of but one lawyecr as a possible candidate, and he does not appear to be averse to being known as a sort of sword of Damocles. Chief Justice Mclver will be re-elect ed Chief Justice, opposit ion or no op position, bluff or no bluff, election or: no election of certain judicial candi dates. No matter which of the can didates is elected the judicial depart ine will nt suffer in ability or rep utation. They are all good. NO SLAP AT THE GOVERNOIi. There have been suggestions of slapping at Governor Ellerbe in cer tain respects. It was stated that the passage of the tax extension resolu tion against the wishes of Governor Ellerbe was a slap at him. This is a rnizae, and it may as weil be so known, for Governor Ellerbe is get ting criticism enough without shol dering on him imaginary "slaps. The tax resolution w-.s passed en tirely without regard to the desires of Governor Ellerbe, and really without most of the members knowing his wishes. SENATOR TILLMAN'S POSITION. It was stated "on the quiet" that Senator Tillman way coming to Co lumbia to take a band in matters, and to look out for the future. Senator Tillman is not rushing into polities needlesly, and is disposed to let mat ters take their natural course. If he came down to Columbia he would find out a thing or two of special in terest to himself, but he is not likely to cone; why. it is unnecessary to state just now, except that he has wise friends in Columbia, who are not altogether si-insh. A SHORT SESSION PROBABLE. The unquestionable disposition is manifest to have a short session-not over thirty days-aud if it were not for custom, it would not be that long. Members have told ine that they saw no possible reason for more than -i twenty-one-day session. The Gen eral Assembly has worked from the jump and has worked had. The holding of night sessions the second week is unusual, but on the line of getting through with work. Those of the members who work honestly for a short session will stand better with their constituents It is at all times to be remembered that there is such a thing as wasting a great deal of time, and at the same time voting on all measures looking towards early adjournment. When the m6mbers get to the appropriation bill and ar gue for an hour on cutting some poor clerk's salary about $50, it would be well to remember that the debate is worth so much an hour at about $1, 200 a day. EcONOMIcAL BILLS. On this line it may be mentioned that the perennial fight will t2, made to cut salaries and the college appro priations. Salaries and appropria tions are low enough, and legislative bodies have said so time and time again, yet the effort to slash will be made, and the chief argument will be fve-cent cotton and the deficit, which is nothing new. The ways and means committee will reconaend certain reductions, and the unfortu nate minor officials will be the ones to come in for the greater proportion ate reductions. NO NEW FISII LAWS YET. It is noteworthy and remarkable, in fact astounding, that there have been no fish laws proposed this ses sion. The poor shad and sturgeon and terrapin, if they only knew how much has been done to keep them alive, would be duly grateful; but the law books have been filled by special Acts until it got demoralizing, and when Mr. Shad or Sturgeon went from one county to another he hal to ask the best constitutional lawyer "where he was at." The Supreme Court's holding one of the special laws to be unconstitutional may have checked the flood of fish legislation, but the session is not old and fish bills may yet come in their old-time glory and multiplicity. APPROPRIATION AND sUPPLY BILLS. The ways and means committee has already finished a skeleton of the appropriation bill, but it has not been agreed upon in details. The supply bill has not yet been undertaken. The impression among members of the ways and means committee and the finance committee is that the tax levy to be collected next fall will be 5 or 5 1-4 midls. The graduated li cense bill which was a remnant from last year's session, went to the wall several days ago. It was a compan ion piece to the income tax bill, and it would be quite the proper thing for the two measures to occcupy a common grave. The abolishing of the office of phos phate inspector, as suggested by Gov ernor Ellerbe, will save no money if it means the creation of another clerk ship in the Comptroller General's office.
