THE NEWS AND HERALD, WINNSBORO, S. (:. 'SATURDAY, DEOBMBER 1o,: 18 . B. BAGSDAI , W. L..ariOY41a. i gDri'ORB. The Apportionment Bill. The Legislature can find no author ity under the constitutional amend mont adopted at the last election for a reapportionment of representatives.at this time on the basis of the United States census of 1880. On the con - trary the amendment carries with. it the inevitable igaplication that the Legislature shall do no such thing. And it is urged against the present apportionment bill that "the measure is so clearly unconstitutional that there are grave doubts whether a General Assembly constituted under its provi s8ons could legislate 'espeolally on the subject of refunding the bonded debt of the state." There seems to be great force in this objection. And we are- liclined to think that we "had better bear the ills we have than fly to others we know not of." An unconstitutional assem bly would raise many troublesome issues. Not inought. The Edgofleld Monitor quotes with - approval what we had to say in a recent issue of this paper of the un mitigated iniquity of homestead ex emptions, and says that it put forth similar arguments many years ago, and still believes in the soundness of the same. lnt we feel assured that our contemporary will agree with us that this Is not enough. The evils of a ;bad law can't be pointed out too often. Every institution that ever existed had its defenders. Exemption laws form no exception. It Is in the nature of man to take sides before his understanding has been fully onlight cn.ed. He then becomes a partisan and may or may not be open to con viction. But younger men are con tinually coming on the stage of action, and it is especially for the benefit of -these that error should be mercilessly exposed at every opportunity. It is only thus that bad laws can ever be repealed. The Preasident's Meseage. Perhaps it might be just'as well to admit fraikly once for all that our worthy President is a colossal "strad di.er." Stripped of the conusion that is borrowed of verbosity his *message undoubtedly enunciates the old doctrianat el mven ~-~ - ~'omy," ith incidental protection." And this, it ia understood, may be made to mean just anything that any given exigency may demand. Let us contrast seine parts of tils unique message. The following" bold enun ciation of principle can't be beat: When we consider that the theory of our institutions gunarantees to every citizen the full enjoyment of all the fruits of his industry and enterprise, with only such deduckiQn as may be his share towards the careful and economical inaintenance of the Gov ernment wvhich protects him, it is plain) that the exaction of mere than this is inldefensible extortion, and a cul pable betrayal of American fairness and jus tice. Again But our present tariff lawvs, the *vicious, inequitable 'and ilogical source of unnecessary taxatieought to be at once~ revised and amended. After reading this,'one is but ill-pre pared for the "let down" that is in Store for him. IIere it is: It is not proposed to entirely relieve tihe country of tIs taxation. It must be extensively continued as the source of the Government's income' anid in a readjustment of our tariff tle inter ests of American labor engaged ini manufacture should be carenailly COnl sidered, as well as tile preservation'of our manufacturers. It mnay be called protection, or by alny othler nlame, but relief from the hlardsips and dangers of our presenlt tariff laws, shouldibe devised with especial precaution against imperiling the eX'stenlce of our manufacturing interests. And then to make thle case perfectly satisfactory to both sides we have tils: Buit tile reduction of taxationl de mnanded should be so measured as not to necessitate or justify either the loss of employment by thle working man nlor tile lessening of is wages; and the profits still, remaining to the man utacttirer, after a necessary readjust ment, should furnish no excuse for tihe sacrficesil of the interests of his em ployb eiher inl their opportunity to work ,ior in the diminution of thei r compensatiomi. Nwwe fall utterly to see any place othis platform on whlichl an honest, COooltions tariff reformer canco sent to stand. - No man can serve two masters. Is Consauption .Jneurabie?

Few possessions are niore universal Y value and wished forthan strength It. :not so generally consid red that only throP h lon patient and utinuous ef'or oan I t be obtained. Is 6ibought of rather as a hap y edeut, or a native gift, to be as irely grateful for, than as a natlral aid certain result of toll and striving. We congratulate the strong man on his strength, but rarely praise or honor him on that account; we pity the weak man for his weakness, but it would s.em cruel to mingle blame or roptoof with our pity. Yet the truth is that human strength can be earned through human energy. It is not always a gift - which . humat nature showers upon somo and denies to others, but often a gradual development in the individual, going .on in accordance with the active efforts, and earnest struggles which he puts forth from day to day. 'Take bodily strength and example; the Infant gains it through constant motion, the boy through active play the mian through toll and tug and burden. Lot these cease and strength will cease developing; let them be relxedt it will decline. No one can have the strength to take long walks and hard climbs who does not put forth in active Wflorts from time to time, whatever force he has. No one has the strength to endure unusual toll and hardship who has not @truggled manfully in past conflicts. Bodily idleness as inevitably respite in bodily weakness. The day is happily well nigh past when women prided them solves upon their physical frailty; but many still continue to be feeble and call it their misfortune, when quite often it is only the necessary conse quence of languid inaction. This is equally manifest in the men tal condition. The strong mind is one which has accumulated power through hard moaaal activity. Much earnest study, much eort of thought, many a tussle with self-indulgence and love of case, many a struggle with difficulties and obstacles, have combined to give it thatvlgorous force and elasticity which is to its possessor so valuable a boon. We look with pleasure upon the man thus favored. We admire his clear thought, his sound judgment, his keen discrimina tion; to envy the case with which lie detects the .point of an argument, or solves an intricate question, or applies a principle; but we do not see, and seldom even imagine, what toil and patience may have been the source of this mental strength. On the other hand the man who has never learned to control his thoughts, and compel them to work who has shrunk from difficulty, and indulged in lazy and Idle reverie, must expect to be weak-minded; he has denied the very food which it needs to build it up and strengthen it. Or course there are a fbw exceptionally gifted persons, to whom this exertion is only a pleasure, but most of us must learn our strength of mind by much steadfast toll and some self-denial. More strength also is gained chiefly through struggles of the moral nature. Every time a temptation is resisted, an evil inclination conquered, a duty performed, moral streoogth is accumu-i I ated. The one whom all men honom for virtue and integrity, to whoir wrou doing seems to offer no attrac. -11fl ~~ wfio perrorms egen - dut y na it arises, apparently witdout an oil'ort, has not gained this power by treading~ flowery beds of ease. It has come tc hini throtigh effort and sacrifice, and the more it has cost the greater the reward. rhe poor weak victim of temptrtion and indulgene, who ie powerless to deny his appetite, or to subdue a craving, or to resist the per suasion of an evil comnpanion, is indeed to be pitied, but his deplorable condi tioni is due to long years of moral idleness, during which lhe has drifted into evil, instead of having stemmed the current and resolute y pressed forward ini the opp)osito direction. If this is so-if strentgth is only to be obtained through effort-it may change the aspect of some things we are accustomed to look upon only as calamities and hardships. The very obstacles which have seemed to hinder our course miay have afforded the best opportuultics for developing the courage aud accumnlatig the power which we neced to pursuo it. The trials which have been so hard to bear have called forth the fortitude and heroism which are parts of every noble nature. The difficulties over come, the d<migers faced, evcin the mistakes made, have all tended to make yen self-reliant, fearless and strong. Just as the child learns to walk through aaany a fall, that seems only painful at the time, so we may all learn leesons anid acquire powers through what ap p ears at the timan somewhat disastrous. .arnest and coatinuous eflort is a copious source from whidh flows strength of body, strength of mind and st.rength of character. It is a solurce open to all, froni which new su pplie may constantly be drawn. Sick"i Ichaoi i n mInte. For Coas eti tion It lias no aquEl. BIEaET N BTATE OF SOUJTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF FAIRlFIELD.
