W., Washington, D. C. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The General Assemby of South Carolina met yesterday and will prob ably be in session about forty days The State constitution adopted in 1895 provides that after the first three sessions from its adoption leg. islators cannot remain in session lon ger than forty days and receive pay for their services, so that it is reason able to suppose we will not have lon ger than a forty days' session. It might seem that inasmuch as this is campaign year our lawmakers would want to be as economical as possible and have a very short session, but in the general growth, the general prog ress and development of the State things are widening, and more legis lation in detail is necessary. And then the Legislature usually possesses a number of men who are prone to talk on everything that comes up, and others who have a lot of pet and petty schemes which they want to get through, so that many days ar drawled out and the full length ol time allowed is usually consumed. Clarendon is fortunate in having representatives who do not talk un less they have something to say, and when once they have spoken, their positions are well known, so that if a long session is drawled out Claren don's representatives will scarcely be blameable. There are no extremely vital, burning measuras demanding legislation at this session, and yel there is one question which seems paramount to all others and whicht should receive careful thought and attention and that is the liquor ques tion. The corruption which has been exposed and the scandals grow ing out of the State Board of Con trol seem to demand that some meas ures will have to be adopted to rem edy the law regarding the sale of liquor. Two bills on the liquor question have been introduced at this session, both quite sweeping in their character and both providing for the abolishment of the State Board of Conutrol, one by Mr. Winkler of Ker shaw county and one by Senator Aph pelt. We have not seeni Mr. Wink. ler's bill, but we are inclined to think that if Senator Appelt's bill were adopted it would do much towards alleviating the many evils growing out of the present system. It pro. vides for submitting to the voters of each county the three gestions of pro hibition, dispensary and license, and in that way the will of the people in each county is arrived at. In those counties, like Marlboro, for instance, which are and always have been for prohibition, they are allowed to have prohibition, and are not made to have the dispensary rammed down their throats anyhow. Those coun ties which want dispensary, as at present, mnay'have it, except that the screws are tightened up all along the line in the enforcement of the law, the plans being more stringent than those governing dispensaries at pres ent. Then in those counties like Charleston, where the people are go ing to have whiskey anyhow, law or no law, they may do so under bond and a heavy license, after sellers get the approval of a majority of all the voters in the ward in which they want to sell. In this way even the whiskey- element is enlisted in be half of enforcing the law. The re quifements in detail for the enforce ment of the law are very stringent, after the counties decide what they want, and there is no doubt but that its adoption, carrying the abolish ment of the State Board of Control, into which it seems impossible to keep scandal from creeping, would be a vast improvement and a step higher in the line of general morality. The people are disgusted with this liquor question. They have read about it until now when they read of another liquor scandal it is nause ating. Let the Legislature take hold of it and do somiething, and it doesn't matter how tight they slap the screws on in whatever measure they do adop[t. Followers of the fashions are never arule behind thenm. It is considered in New York a pretty hard thing to "pull the leg" of Richard Croker, but be got it broke while mounting a horse in England the other day. Things seem to have gutten quiet in Cuba. General Wood has been appointed Governor and he has ap pointed his cabinet, all of them Cu bans. A list of their .;Mes reads like the labels on a lot of cigar boxes. It is right amusing to run through our exchanges and see the advice some of them insist upon offering to Governor McSweeney, especially since it is probable that Le will be a candi date for re-election this summer. Governor McSweeney is in a position to look down on all sides of public matters, and so far he has impressed us as being pretty level headed. Un less he makes some slip up between now and the election we think he will be a hard man to beaL The annual message of Governor McSweeney which we give to our readers to-day is a strong paper and is worth a careful reading by every citizen. It is well written and deals in a plain, practical, common-sense and business like manner with all of the State's matters. During the short time that the Governor has been in office he has not only famil iarized himself with every depart ment of goverment, but being a prac tical business man himself he is in position to see the needs of all the State's interests from a business point of view and make wholesome and sound recommendations to the Gen eral Assembly. Tne message shows marked progress in manufacturing, agriculture and along many other lines and says that harmony and good will prevails throughout the State. rhe United States, through Secre tary Hay, has just succeeded in get ting about all the European countries, except Italy, to agree to what is known as an "open door" policy to wards China. In other words it about means that the other countries were getting the "door open" first towards gobbling up China's terri tory, and while the door was being opened and before the other counties walked in, our great and good coun try wanted to be in position to walk in along with the rest and be there when all the great nations sat down to the feast of devouring China. But the United States in her Philip pine policy and England in her Boer conquest policy each seem to have wallowed something which does not agree with them. If they should each decide to tackle a slice of China it is to be hoped that the thing will .not be so indigestible. When England opened war on the Boers in South Africa it was thought that she would make short work of the two little republies, and in fact it wasa said that General Buller's victo ries would be like a grand dress pa rade. But the past few weeks have noted several crushing defeats to the English forces and the lowering of General Buller to a secondary place among the English Generals. CId General Joubert, Commander-in Chief of the Boer forces, and who at first was thought to be too old to do any good fighting, has proven himself to be a veritable Stonewall Jackson, and while it seems uncertain where he came from, yet one thing is certain and that is that if he had the number of troops England has in the field that great country would not be in the fight long. England already has more troops in South Africa than Wellington had when he whipped Napoleon at Waterloo, but this bids fair to be the dearest war both in money and lives that she has ever engaged in. Providence is not al ways on the side wvith the heavy ar tillerv. Judge Buchanan created a sensa tion in Spartanburg last week when he gave a petty jury a fearful rasping for not being able to come to an agreemsnit and render a verdict in the case of Meares, the professor in a deaf, dumb and blind school, on trial for seduction. The jury was out something like forty hours and dur ing that time were recalled by the judge and asked if there was any point of law which they could not understand. Replying to the con trary, Judge Buehanan told them that they should come to a verdict, and when he finally recalled them the second time and ordered them to return a mistrial he took occasion to rake them down in a manner that was perhaps never heard in a court house in this State before. lie compared them to silly school boys, wvho were sitting there, willing to violate the oaths they had taken to come to a verdict and were putting the county to four or five hundred dollars ex pense each day, and charged that it was just such conduct as this which was responsible for so much miscar riage of justice. As to the propriety of making the remarks which Judge Buchanan made, that is a question left entirely with him, but there is no doubt but that he spoke a lot of truth in his little raking down address to the jury. As a rule the courts and the solicitors do their duty, but one or two irresponsible jurors who do not appreciate the weight of an oath bring disrepute upon the entire court. It would be impossible to remedy such an evil by legislation, as it is out of the question to legislate morals into the-people, but the jury com missioners could do a great deal by refraining from putting in the jury boxes the names of persons who first of all have not some intelligence and next some little moral convictions. S.me Genterals blame it on the mules, and others on the guides, but Buller had the pluck to take ihe re sponsibility on his shoullers. Pity Otis doesn't do likewise.
