THK OSNEBAI/ ASSEMBLY.
Winthfop’s Board of Trustees Gets
Talked About .
The following summary of legisla
tive proceedings during the past week
gives spme of the most important dis
cussions upon pending measures:
After prelimiparv matters had been
disposed of, Mr. Moses called up the
special order for the day—Mr. Elder’s
bill to provide for the completion of
Winthrop’s new dormitory and to ap
propriate $20,040 for that purpose.
Mr. Weston said that, at the last
session, the house was asked for $30,-
000 for the completion of the building.
The house gave $35,d00. He wanted
iuformatioil why thir additional ap
propriation is now asked for.
Mr. Moses said that the author of
the bill is sick but does not care to
have the bill jeopardised by his ab
sence. foist year \JTinthrop asked for
this $30,000 and the use of a hundred
convicts. The house would not give
them the use of the convicts and the
hired labor had cost a great deal more
than expected, as the piice of labor
had advanced. He read a statement
showing the estimates for completion
as furnished by the president of the
college. There bad been no motion
!>cfore the honse up to this. lime, but
Mr. Porroh here moved to strike, out
the enacting words.
Mr. Blease wauled lo know how
much time President Johnson had
spent iu Columbia lately.
M'. Moses and Mr. Wilson replied
that President Job ns. >0 bad appeared

Mr. Horroji said that he knew his
mption’ was useless. He represented
the minority on the door who felt that
this expeuditure would not b£ justified.
He knew that he would be deiided for
his opposition, but be wanted to ex^
press his disapprobation of .the work
of the president and the trustees.
Mr. Blease offered an Aiiieudmeut
to insert $5,U00 for $12,000 ia the
amount specified for the completion of
the building.
The amendment was tabled bv a
vote rf 91 to 15 on motion of Mr.
Bcamguaid.
Mr. Blease wanted to amend further
to reduce the requisition for furnishiug
from $8,000 to ir2,000.
Mr. Kmard, of Greenwood, said that
bis record here had shown him to be
on the side of economy. Yet it would
be fa.se economy to let this building
go to ruin. llWkkuew that the board
deserved censure if it had not called
for bills, but that was uo reason why
proiferty should be allowed to go to
turn.
The Kobertsou amendment wasibeu
adopted. It adds a proviso^mt the end
of section 1.
Mr. McGowan offered an amend
ment inserting the words u if so much
he necessary.” This too was adopted.
The bJJ then passed second reading
and the clincher was put 00 by Mr.
Moh-s. This prevents any more amend
ment* iu ihe House. The billas ameu^
ed read* :
{section 1. That to complete the new
building now being erected to accom
modate ibe overflow of students ap
plying annually foe admission to Win-
thmp i ollegc. the oaly insiitutiou
much more credit to the young man
who is now assisting the State super-
inteudent of education.
Mr. Hardin was willing to let the
clerk be called “assistant superinten
dent/’ but he' wftnml the sUlary to re
main at $900. I
Mjv Wiugo opposed the bill on tbo
ground of piling up unnecessary ex
pense. v
Mr. Moses, of the ways and means
committee,'favored the bill, .lust last
year the Legislature promoted the clerk
of the adjutant general to the rank of
colonel and assistant adjutant general
with an increase from tfOOO to $1,200.
The clerk of the State 'superindeut of
education gets less thtiu any other de
partment official aml v has exacting
work which he dispatches with credit.
Mr. Kinard said that he would offer
au amendun'Tft to provide that the
State superludent employed uo other
cleiical force than the assistant whose
salary should be $1,200. Mr. Kinard
stated that the office now employs a
stenographer at a salary of $400. He
wanted to do away with this position if
the clerk’s salary be raised. He con
tinued that the office of State superin
tendent of education has indeed done
a let of work since Mr. McMahan had
been theie, but it bad to a great extent
been unnecessary work. He then
went on lo say that ihe office had
exceeded ita appropriation in having a
great a uount of special and unneces
sary punting done. No official in
South Carotins has a right to exceed
its appropriation. This office hat gone
from $1,UU0 to f 1 JIM.

Bill Arp Goes Into the History of
English Rulers Who Came from
Hanover
It was 11 long jump—354 years from
the death of King Edward VI to the
accession of Albert, How Edward VII.
The good Queen Victoria dident have
much English blood lu her veins. The
Georges wore Germans^ by birth 01
adoption. T,bree of Them lived and
died in Hanover and the house of Han
over ruled England for 20d years.
Victoria’s father and mother lived
there. She got her husband there and
her son, the prince of Wales, got his
wife there. If it had not been for the
Salic law which forbade a woman from
reiguiug over Hanovdr, she would pro
bably have lived and died there. Be
sides this preponderance of German
blood, she had a stiain of Italian blood
iu her veins and was pleased to call
herself a Guelph. Her Kuglisb an
cestors were a bard lot. ludeed, tbe
kings of England, especially Ihe Hen-
rys, the Edwards and Georges, were a
disgrace to royslty. They were cruel,
heanlcM, selffMi and depraved. They
were worse than our kidua|>er* or the
hscing cadets ot West I’oiQt, for they
put to death llieir brothers and moth
ers to get them out of their way. Oaly
two or three kiugs have behaved with
credit lo the- crown. But the queens
have illustrated woman’s superior vir
tue and kindliness of heart.

There alwaji follow in the wake of
such an army all the roving prostitutes
of Christendom, anl it has been so iu
this case ; and debauchery and shame
less orgy inevitable ensue in connec
tion with the army. But the point
here is that the L'nlted States author
ities at Maui'a maintain an organized
system of pandering to \ice, under a
supervision aud recognition which, so
far as we kuow, no city -1t)r.community
iu the Cuited States has ever been dis
posed lo urant; and an especially damn
able feature of the business is that the
iinstitution thus officially established is
said to I*o as strange to the natives as
the Amcncan saloon, and possessed of
■fcqual power'to corrupt s .d demoralize
a people hitherto untouched by these
highly improving features of western
civilization.

THr convict taat'k:.
Mr. deltoach of York favored the
bill. He ahowed the neces*ity for this
expenditure, a* the building is nof
completed. The refusal of the legis
lature to give the hoard convicts last
year caused the necessity for more
money. ,
• Mr. Coggeshall of Darlington—
Didn’t tbe board of trustees kuow be
fore it started work on the building
that it would not get ihe use of the con
victs?
Mr. Hardin of Chester asked—Did
the board of trustees ever advertise for
bids?
Mr. deLoach was not iufWmed as
to this. The building should be com
pleted, he said, because it belongs to
the people of South Carolina, and not
to the president and trustees of the
college.
Mr. Lever wanted to know why the
convicts were uot given last year.
Mr. Wilson replied that the Senate
had killed the Ml.
Mr. Prince said the question before
the house is—‘‘The dormitory is in an
incomplete condition, and what must
we do?” He declared that the board
deserved censure. He denied that tbe
board had asked for the 100 convicts
in addition to the $35,000. The re
quest for convict labor had come later.
He disliked to appropriate the addi
tional $20,000. But we are in the pre
dicament where we must go forward.
The incomplete building cannot be al
lowed to htand. „
Mr. Hardin wanted to know what
guarantee is there that there will uot
be a lequebt next year for still farther
appropriations for this matter.
Mr. Itohertsou wanted the l*oard to ,
request bids for the Completion of the
work. He offered an amendment lo
that effect.
Mr. Dorroh said that the very word-
lug of the bul was •(•ologetic, to ac-1
commodate tbe overflow,” etc., 44 tbe
only taetilutioo maintained by the'
SUto for the higher education of girt*.” j

He would accept an aiucndnieot.reduc-
tog tbe fee. Marriages should he re
corded. There w tu uo reason to sus
pect that this bill would lead up lo a
divorce law.
Mr. H. B. A. Hobir.son opposed the
bill iu his characteristic wa), adding
a little spice aud humor to ebumou
sense.
Mr. Hardiu,of Chester, as an unmar
ried man wanted no obstacles in the
way of matrimony aud opposed the
bill.
Mr. Wingo feared that the enactment
of tins bill would lead up to a proposi
tion in the fuftlfe to amend the consti
tution so as to grant divorces.
Mr. C. E. Robinson “on behalf of
the widow&rs htrd unmarried members
qf the House’-’ moved to indefinitely
postpone the bill. This was done by
an overwhelming vote.
SALARY INCREASE DEFEATED.
The next bill discussed was that of
Mr. Siukler to increase the- salary of
the clerk to the superintendent of ed
ucation from $900 to $1,500, aud to
give the clerk the rank of assistant
State superintendent of education.
The committee offered an amend
ment to make .he salary $1,200.
Mr. Sinkler, who is chairman of the
committee on education, stated that
the bill seeks to change the office of
clerk to that of “assistant superin
tendent of education,’ and B> give him
a rank and salary comipensurate with
that of other department officials iu
the State House. The State supenn-
dent had stated that the work of Uie
office is incretsiog aud that he wanted ■
the office of assistant to tie 'cieaied iu
order that whan the *aptrintebdenl is j
oat of the city his duties tna) prosily
.devolve upon the amisUoW .
Mr. Ashley wanted to know if the
clerk ta not teaching for pay iif’The
night schools ia Columbia.
Mr. Mnkkr said that had nothing to
do with the "**» 41 * of
A few year* ago a litre ot
ftotu Charleston wa* tun to
1 I’leaaaut to' cjUUecl with live
•treet *ar hoe Iroui the latter p.ace to
Sullivan'* Island. The couvtruclion of
that street car hue had been ot untold
benefit to Mount Fioaaaul lor people
from Cbarlmtou began to move there
ns they could for 5 cent* go to4be city
aud could return on the 9 o'clock even
ing boat. Since that time, however,
the Charleston Consolidated - Company
had raised the fare to 10 ceuis and had
taken off the 9 o’clock boat. The dam
age to the town of Ml. 1‘ieusani is
estimated at 40 per cent. This bill
allow* the ferry.company what it had
asked for, to place the maximum fare
at 10 cents,-aud ou the other hand it
had given the people of Ml. 1’ieasaul
what they deyue—a boat at 9 p. m.
By taking off this boat the company
had hurt Ml. I’ieasaul, because the
residents who worked in C’harloslou
were forced to move to the city, not
being able to catch a night boat.
Mr. Cosgrove opposed the bill, lie
has a residence on IsulHvau’s island
which is seven milts fronf Charleston
and four miles from Ml. Fleajant,
beiug reached- from Charleston, by me
ferry to Mt.* I’leasant.^ Up to three
years ago there had been - but three
boaie a day to MW Pleasant, now there
aiqsejieij. This bill is wrong bt'cause
il fixes an arbitrary late of lu cents a
trip. This would prove fit a rival cor
poration from coming into the field,
for Sullivan’s island is seven miles
from-Chatlesion aud a boil could not
operate between those localities for a
ten cent fare.’ •
The 9 o’clock boat to Ml. Pleasant is
operated through some seasons of
ihe year. If it were to be ruu at other
seasons it would be at a loss of $200 a
mouth. The ferry company would
operate such a night boat throughout
the ) ear if it would pay.
By a vote of 71 to 34 the substitute
bill was adopted aud pa*-ed second
reading. Tbe Charleston delegation,
except Mtaara. Whaley and Logan,
voted again*! tha hill.

Why, they havent got enough police-
meu in New York city to regulate or
intimidate the boys of Yale and Har
vard when they meet them, to play a
game. And the only excuse ever
given by the faculty is: “Oh, boys
will be boys.” Now, it seem that the
bazers have apologized and promised
to quit. That is well enough, but it
doesent relieve them from the public
indignation. A reform that cornea
from fear deserves no credit. Those
boys are tbe same brutes thqy were be
fore, and should not be recqgnized as
gentlemen anywhere outside of a bull
tight in Maxico.
o I‘ was ruminating about those old
kings of England aud how two of the
princes were smothered in the tower
aud Edward VI had three stepmothers,
who treated him like* a 'dog. and how
subdued he was all of his brief life, for
he died when; sixteen years old after a
bo) isb reign df Seven years. And those
Georges were in a continuous scandal,
for history says that George I, who
founded the house of Hanover, was
•fond of nothing save punch and
fat womm, and Wellington says
of George IV that he was a
curious compound of inconsistencies..
The o'her two were’ no better, and
there were the Henrys, some of whom
were worse than murderers. Since the
reign of A!Tied tbe Great, England has
bad no. quei q« such as Elizabeth mod

all appeared so incredible to at least
one good, innocent soul hereabouts
that he must need* apply for juforma-
tiou to that source ot all truth duriug

was, in effect, that the statements
were a tiumped-up campaign lie.
Mr. Teller, of Colorado, however,
produced further testimony in the Sen

In thia grief and rage there can be
but one way to soften his heart, and
that is by missionary effort*, by hospi
tal work which commends Christianity
to the masses in a moat effective way,
by schools which will give needed in
telligence to the people, and by the
holies and comforts of tbe gospel.
In leading up to this conclusion tbe
speaker showed the high character ot
the native Christians, exhibited by
their heroic faith and courage during
the recent bloody persecutions in which
men, women and children met death
unflinchingly rather than give up their
religion. ,
Dr. Davis, while fully presenting
the tad loss of 150 devoted servants of
God, done to death with indescribable
outrages, emphasized the fact that
2,700 olhers were preserved to carry
on the appointed work of Gcd. Anoth
er point emphasized was tbe fact that
this commotion in the East was al
lowed to arise now, five years after
China’s war with Japan, rather that 25
years later.

and of intensely afiti-foreign spirit.
