"Go~ home," some one might have said mo Miriam. - Kny rias yourlf out there alone on the tDanis os tne Nile, breathing tne misia andi in danger 01 Deing attacked of wiid beast orruaffen? Go name!" No. Miriam, the slater, more lovingly watched aa bravely ateended Moses, the bcoaier. Is ne 'worthy ner care and courage? On, yes; the 60 centuries of the world's history nave never nad so muca in volveai in the arrival of any snip at any port as in the landing of tia'. papyrus boat calked with ttaneii! Ats one passenger was to be a nonsu.:n in history-lawyer, st atesman, poli cian, legislator, organmzer, cong &eror, deliverer. He had such remarkaole beauty in cnildtiood that, J Usepnais says, when he was carried along t'ne roa people stopped to gaze at hni and workmen would leave their work to ad mire him. When ine king PaY fully put his crown upon thus DO.9, ne~ thretw it off indignantly and put his foot on it. The king, fearing that this m'ght be assign that the chid migat yet take down his crown, applied anotner test. According to the Je wish legend, uge king ordered two bowls to be put lie fore the child, one containing ruoles and the other burning coals, and if he took the coals he was to hive and if he took the rubiss he was to die. Foi some reason the child took one of tne coals and put it in his mouth. so that his life was speared, although it burned. the tongue till he was indistinct of ut terance everafter. Having some to mannocd, he spread open the palms of his bands in prayer, and the. Red sea parted to let 2.500,000 people es cape. And he put the palms ;of :his hands together in prayer, and tue Ri:d sea closea on a stracgulated iost. His life so unutterably grand, his burial must be on the same scale. G1od would let neither man nor saint nor archangel h'sve anything to do with weaving for him a shroud or digging for him a grave. The omnipotent God lef t his throne in heaven one day, and if tee qumstion was asked, "W aither im the King of the Uaiverse goindi" tae a es~ver was, "am going down to bury Moses." And tae L~rd took this igh--ies: of men to the top of a hill, and the day was clear, and Moses ran his eyve over the magnifica~nt range of coiuntry. Here the valley of Esaraelon, where the fiual battle of all nations is to be fought, and yonder the mountains Hermon ana Igubanon and Genziai and the hils of Jac m &and the vial age of B&thlenem there, and the cuty 01 Jericho y onder. and the vast streten? of landsclcaps tnat almost took the o1a lawgiver's breath away as ne lo~ien at it. And then without a pang, as I learn from sne statement th~a the eye of Moses was unaimu~ed and mll naiti ral force unabated, Goai teuntied the greatlJawgiver's eyes and in~y closed, and his lungs and they ceaseu, anu his heart and it stopped, and commzandt d,~ saying, "To( the skies, tanu immorwa spirn!~" And then one divine hand was put against the back of Mloats asa the other hand agamnst the pu..e less breast, an d God laid him Soieuy down on Mount Nero, and then the lawgiver, lifted in tne Aimighty arms, was carried to the opening 01 a cave and placed in a crypt, and onle stroke of the divime band smoutntd the features into an everlasting calm, and a rock was rolled to the door, and the only obsequies, at wlucu Go du all the ofices of priest and tuner and gravedigger and mourner. were ended.

C( Ju' bal did .ot ooSSs all the dc!(:nis L.e luwe Tie comrmitee dn teat temembhers wanted ;.r 3 at cae and the committee .rt to -7ork to set the best possible i n e substitute bill was the re ul:t. Tue Tuastitute bill is largely a'ter the Gcr,.ia law, where it has 'racd .ell. 'Lere is nothing wrong i 1 ing gocd laws from Georgia ;:- says tais is a liv the railroads saat and not the coamission. Tae railoa'd c mpa ies want no railroad leislat:on at all they want no sepsrate c:.iches at all. His frind seemed to be afraid of lawyers. He was a iaw y-r, and was proua of it He defended r: nmeif and the committee. He did not care what the commission wanted, but was acting for the people. Mr. Caughman said he Lever said the c.ommfission did not want this bill. Mr. P.llock said the railroad c-m mission did recommend the passage of the substitue bill. Mr. Caughman's bid dces not touch on separate coaches for second class travel That would necessitate a car for first-class whites and a second class coach. The com mittee substitute manes one class. The first class rate is decreased to 3 cents fron 3 1 4 rates, and the second class increas;d from 2 3 4 to 3 cents. He understood about 60 per cent o' the 'rivel was second class. Toe objec ti)n to cjops is equally an objection to Mr, Caughman's bill. These "coops," under the substitute bill can be put in only by order of the rail road commission, but under Mr Caugh man's bill the railroads can divide up a coach The railroad committee was unauirnus in favoring the substitute bill. Mr. Caughman said he was accused o b-in; mad, and he wanted to say he had not been mad in ten years. When he was advocating any measure he was in earnest. IP he had been moad he would have run Mr. Pollock out of town. He did not ciain& to have the brain of the House. and no one otner than Mir Pallock thought so. He' did not care to bring any per sonalities iato the matter. Mr. Caugh mnan said Mr Pollock told im in pri vate the railroads did not want his bill. Mir. PoIlck said he told him the raisroads wsnred neither bill, and the commission wanted the substitute bill. Mr. Caughman said one member of the c~mmission told him the substitute btll t:ok a way the rights of the comn mtission. He never claimed honor or credit. He was not seeking honor or gloiry. Mr. H J Kicard thought this mecas n-e dese rvedi more serious thcught He' hod heard that a Pallnan car only cost $5 0' , and it was no hardsh:p to re c re stuara:e ceaches. fr. Cu'sbman asked if it was not a hardshi'p to require mixed trains to carys.'arate coaches M-. Kinard didn't thick so, as the e~'ra ca'st would not be large Mr. Ma ill moved to table Caugh manr bil By a vote of 3-7 to 33 the the House refused to table the Caugn man bi 1 M-. KIard moved to amend so tha f's-lass claches shall be pro vied, and so as to prohibit aivi~ion of the coaches. Mr Garris said the amendment would kilt the bill. The idea was to separate the razes at as little expense and inconvenience as possible The amendment will only killithe measure. Mr. Cuts'aan agreed with Mr Gar ris. Tue amendment would do for throtugh lines, but would not do for short lines. Mixt d trains, it was said, would not come under the bill. Mr Gadsden feared the personal is su had somewhat obscured the real :ssue. He then explained the real pur pose of the bitl. A separate coach for each class would entail the hauling of a -parate c~aches No company could ifird to haul f-ur coacues for the travel it gets. It would mean ruin to tne railroads. The committee thought it fair to comoroniise on tue rate. TL.e 0agmnbi requires four coaches, wnen Lot a half dezmn ride in eacn ciach As to the division of the coaci es, it was shown that ome small roads exiuld not even run t vo ccaches, and Se substitute gave the commnissien the authority to allow fhe division of a coscri. S -me roads actually could not buy a coaca. The commission is clo.n~ed with such power as it shculd nave. Tuae commission has b -en given autaurity to permit a 35 cent rate sviere the road absolutely needs it V.ne sub~titute btl is on the lice of a comrpro.nise. The rate would be three cents Mr. Cushman: "That is what we do not want. Mr. Gadsden said all pissengers .vruld be benenited. The edlet on the railroad cmpanies was to give about the same r su~ts. Mr. H3 drick wanted to know if the is. cass :dres at 3 cent rate woul: not beftl: the long i:nes. say the S mitnera agaiust the Glenn Springs R~ ,ad i Mr. Gadsdea, said first class passen gers ou.umabered sect nd-class passen gers.

The -oe -oi ran 15 raads i-nd ne wordt- the' narrov guage roads ex eaIte f"r'om the billo.eb~l and cpposed the amendment of Mr. Gage. as the matter of expense should not affect the bill. Mr. Williams thought it very un necessary to exempt the narrow eusge roads. Nobody but iome people were interested in the enterprise. The Lan- c caster road had only one coach and r that was divided. t Mr. Meares said this is snecial legis- 1; lation and the bill should be called a d bill to discriminate in favor of certain a roads. s Mr. G -'s am~ednsment was killed. h Mr Rogers msoved to amend to ms ke c:nductcrs prace (ileers, s) as to give them full su hority to make arrests. s Tbe amerdmeut was lost. c Mr. K'rard wanted to limit reads h t>at should divide coaches, to roads of 6 'l'iv miis or less Mr. Pollock thought no arbitrary t limit shou'd be fixed. Some long R roads had less travel than shorter ozrcs. There was r o use for the amerud- h nrt, as the:e was no need for an ar- G litrary limit. I Mr Kinard said a fifty mile road s could afford to haul separate coaches. c He wanted a passenger train on the E Mcorroack division, of the Charles :.. and Western Carolina Road. He n said the ou-scion was whether to ai y l3a the coa-:hes to be divided or have eparat coaches. t Mr Pollock's motion to table the amendment was passed. 1 Mr. Thomas said he was oppsed to o the substitute bill. Said the object s should be to pass a bill satisfactory t t the people of South Carolina. Said th'e substitute bill only did away w:t Z second-class coaches and second class i rates, and asked if this was the object I to be attained that people desired. The a bill in its present shape would entail f d.scom'ort and would not be satisfac e t yrv. I Mr. W. S. Smith: "Are you in favor d of any bill of this kind?" 7 Mr. Thomas: "Yes, sir. I think re- e f m is needed in this direction," btr c he wanted a satisfactory bill, if any." n Mr. Cushman offered an amendment p that, when the railroad commission so directed,the railroad companies should n put on extra c a'h for a smoking car a open to both white and black-that a passengers shall pay 2- cents per mile v to ride in this caoch. Mr. Kinard thought this amendment a met the objections to the bill. I Mr. Gadsden obj-eted to this amend- s ment unless the whites and negroes 1 were divided in the smoker. Couldn't a see the difference betweeen consorting p with a colored man in a smoker and c on a first-class coach. If the line was t c rawn in the first-class coach why not v in the smoker. i Mr. McCullough called for the pre- C vious question on the whole matter. V Mr. Cushman's amendment was c tabled by a vote of 30 to 40. Mr. Caughman moved to strike out c all after the enacting words and sub i stitute his original bill. This occa- I stoned merriment. Mr. Caughman said the skeleton of s the whole matter was now left. There s was no longer any kernel or meat in l the bill. 'lhe original bill was the only one that should pass, as that was s the kernel and and not a skeleton. Mr. Kibler wanted the previous J question on the whole matter. s Mr. Dukes, cf Orangeburg, said - separate coaches were demanded by I the white people. Mr. Follock said he was surprised at Mr. Thoma's speech. The House and the people want legislation for sepa rate coaches. Mr T aoma's view was that the bill only abolished distinction I in the races He also calls attentiont to defects. Why does he not offer tot amend the bill?

Mr. Meares said he could not select, between two evils. The two bills were fraught with evil. It wcuid tend to strain the relationship now so very pleasant between the races. The aouse refused to excuse Mr. Meares from voting, but on his appeal, excus ed him from voting. After the Caughman bill had been adopted, Mr Gadsden wanted amend meits; so did Mr. Rogers and others, but they were not in order, in vie w of the tangle. Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Kinard and others offered amendments, but one a objection made these amendments out of order. The bill was finally ordered to its third reading exactly as presented by Mtr. Caughman, and as the bill had a previously been killed. The bill as passed reads as follows:s Section 1.

POWDER Absoluteiy Pure The Me_- 'ihrown Aide. The Republicans in the House of R 'presentatives assisted by two so called Damccrats, came up to the help of the ;?iden call of Wall sircet and voted down the Teller resolution which passed the Senate by s.ch a large ma jority "eclaring that the ptblic in debtedess shoui.1 be paid i. either gold or silver at the cption of the government. The Teller resolution has done all it was intended to do. It has compelled the Republicans in the House to come out in their true col ors, and throw aside the mask of bi metallism, behind which they mas qieraded during the last presidential election, and declare for gold By their vote they say silver is an inferior money, notwithstanding during the last campaign the boast was made that McKinley would keep all the money of the government on a parity. These Republicans declares that the bonds of the government must be paid in gold, regardless c f the fact' that the law under which they were issued stipulated that they could be paid in either gold or silver. It will be re membered that when Cleveland sold bx ds, he asked Congress to authorize the sale of gold bonds, and told con gress that so many million dollars could be saved to the treasury if gold bonds were sold. But congress right ly refused to authorize the sale of gold bonds and these bonds were sold at a silver bond price. Now, the Rephbli can leaders declare that these bonds must be paid in gold. This is bare faced, bald-beaded robbery of thepeo k ple. As the Benton Standard says the . simple fact is the Hanna-McKinley combine now in control of theRecut - can party, have sold out to Wall Street and the great trusts of the Unit r ed States, and they have no regard L for the people. McKinley and Cleve land are exactly alike. And Cleve .land's chief shouter, Lymin Gate, is :McKinley's chief in charge of the Streasury. The Wall Street end of Sboth parties have combined and now I .call themselves the Republican party. 1 Tne People of the United States can a see plainly where theii interests lie. - The people who are being robbed - t mut uiteand 'wipe this unholy C lvea.-ein-aecmbina tion off the earth. They are not Re publican. They are not Democratic. .They are simnly Plutocratic. The SI Demnocracy kicked Gage and Cleve a land out and now they are running s McKinley. And Cleveland'sappointe- a t are holdling fat places all over the I United States. The blocd of every honest Republican oughbt to boil. The Wall Street ringleaders of both par ties having cambined under R spubli s can leadership there is only one thing for the p:eople to do. and that is to get together and vote these robbers into everlasting perdition. GoodorTma Senator Tillmnan scored a telling point on the Republican Senators last tWednesday during his speechin oppo - sition to the Hawaiian treaty. Most t of the Republican Senators are in fa > vor of the treaty, and when Tillma ire'erred to the recent Hawaiian rev e lut-oa.'and to whi' he termned the effo~t of the R'rpublican party to establish a rgovernment in the interest of the Swhite people in tne islands, when they -numbered only a bout one out of thirty .of the inhabitants, and in this c~nnec tion referred to the reorganization of party lines in the South after the war. " We were then," he said, "in Scuth Carolina attempting to establish a white man's government. The R: publican party interfered with us then or attempted to do so. professing to hold opinions above the sacred rights of the majority to rule. I should iike to know," he continued, "whether the Republican party has changed its opinion on this subject of the right of the white man to rule, for if it has and will extend it to the Southern States I will vote for the treaty." The Atlanta Journal compliments Tillman on his speech, and says "the hypocrisy oI the Republican advocates of Hawaiian annexation has never before been so neatly exposed, and we have read with pleasure one speech of Ben Till man's upon which we can heartily ecngratulate hin, and for which we -would like to shake his hand."
