With all the changes in the mnward mareh-"amid the clash of party strife, the surge of life's urrest ag sea," there still remains to us the blessed Christmas-tide-sofraught with holy memories, so rich in old associa ions and beautiful traditions, senti ments and principles of the past,which uo icdhoclastic hand can ever tear away mnd destroy. Sunday next, December25, Christen lom will again celebrate the nativity ,fthelowly Nazarne-the most prince ly of men and the-most illustrious of inferers:thatever came into this world. Saintly and sinless Saviour, Mediator and Redeemer, he made his advent when Rome was the imperial mistress f the world and there. was no mercy among men. He came. to displace the peace of the iron hand for the peace of ighteousness! Hence he is 'the Prince >f Peace," the Wonderful Counsellor, the "Light of the World," and bears the name of Jesus, through whom alone can man reach the immortal heights. He entered the arena of life in a con lition of poverty, humiliation and re proach, and the environment and nsembleofhis simple, abstemious, rug ged life were consistent and harmo nious from the manger to his broken, bleeding heart on Calvary. He taught men the undying principles-of loveand forgiveness; likewise patience, gentle ness, sympathy, sincerity and personal purity rather than personal pride. Alas, that we fail so utterly to comprehend the glory, grace and grandeur of his Life, character and mission! It is meet that. one so exalted and majestic,-the one "altogether lovely," who is at once the Son of God and the "Crown Prince of the Universe" for ever, should have royal homage in the celebration of his natal day! "The song of angels" still lingers in our listening ears-the light that broke o'er wild Judea's plains shines brighter as each year brings back to us this glo rious season, when for a while care seems lighter, and burdens less heavy, and sorrow is soothed by the holy calm which rests upon the earth. "Oh, ye, beneath life's crushing load,. Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way, With painful steps and slow! Look, now, for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; Oh rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing!" As the Second Person of the Holy Trinity is the rightful ruler of States and"Nations, who we -are told -will come again in the Omnipotence of His power, and with an angelic host,- to gather the nations of the earth into a spirit of unity and peace; to assert the long delayed supremacy of the King of kings, and establish a celestialized so ciety, it is the province of the secular press no less than the religious to occa sionally call attention to important matters of sacred history. The Christmas-tide is a season when hearts, minds and consciences should grow more mellow, tender and lovable by acts of courtesy, consideration and condescension at home and abroad;- by true words spoken and kindly deedsper formed. While theie are many homes radiantly bright and joyous, there are many others over which the darkling shadows have fallen, and many hearts into which the iron has entered. And now as we commemorate the birth of Him who gave all things for us by pouring out-the very largess of his love, let us remember that - "There is nothing so kingly as kind .ness And nothing so royal as truth," Nor aught so sweet as forgiveness and love. In the beauty and strength of thy youth. TE LEGISLATURE. ~[orrespondence The Berald and News.] COLUMBmA, S. C., Dec. 39-In the way of "reform," if all measures favored with distillation from the Governor's "think tank" be "reform", this session of the General Assembly bas- done enough. It' ha.s failed in several of its tremendous undertakings but when the session closes next Fri day night, or early Saturday morning, few will deny thatit has accomplished much bold, not to say .reckless, legislation. Governor Tiliman's will has been supreme. The "driftR wood'" in both houses, if theie be any, -has been kept in the back background, and there has been little to interfere with the easy course of re form legislationr. ALL. IN A GOOD HUMOR. -There has been rather lesbad temper displayed in both houses than usual, and there has been as yet none of the stormy scenes that added interest if not lustre to the preceding General Assem bly. To be sure, Mr, Frank Gary declairp ed against Col. John C. Haskell for a few minutes last week, and now and then the serenity of the Senate is-dis turbed by sparring matches between Senator John Gary Evans and Sen'ator Smythe; occasionally Congresan elect Strait, the Senator from Lancaster, devours a newspaper man, but these incidents are tame compared with some of those which-have occurred in recent years. Old legislators say that ill temper increpses toward the end of the session, wheni the lawmaker's liver gets bilious, and it may be that we shall have fireworks in the next few days. - ONLY A SHAM BATTLE. The real fight of the session has been on prohibition. Most of the other very important bills have been strictly administration measures, and they have always rallied to themselves a host of friends which it was vain to oppose. But prohibition was certainly not an administration idea, and the Tilmanite legislators were divided into half a dozen clans in regard to it. The Conservatives strenuously opposed the whole idea. The conviction expressed in this correspondence, that the Childs-Roper bill would never become a law, is on the verge of confirmation. The bill passed its second reading.in the House Monday night by a vote of 69 to 47. The following day it passed its third reading by a vote of 42 to 66. Mr. Blease, of Newberry, moved to recommit the bill. Those who voted for recommiiting it are: Messrs. Anderson, Ashley. Barry, Blese, Bruce, Cooper, T. C. Duncan, Edwards, Egan, Ellis, Farley, Garis, Hardee, Haskell, Harper, Hydric a, Kelly, Kirkland, Lancaster, Lesesoe, Lofton, Lowrance, Manning, W. H. Mauldin, Mishoe,.s Moses, Perry, Rhodes, Rivers, Rowland, Shuman, A. J. Smith, Stalvey, Sullivan, Thomas, Tupper, VonKolnitz, Waters, WVatts, Weston, Williamson and J. S. Wolff. Those who voted against rec'om mitting the bill billare: Speaker Jones, Messrs. Avinger, Blackwell, Breazeale, Breland, Brice, Buist, Byrd, Carpenter, Carroll, Chandler, Cox, Covington, Crum, Davis, Dendy, Dennis, Du Bose, Estrdge, Felder, Folk,jFoster, graham, Hammett, Hardin, Hardy, Harris, Henderson, Hill, Hough, Jeff'eries, Jordan, Kennedy, Knotts, J. D). Kinard, H. J.-Kinard, Leman, Love, Magill, L. Mauldin, McLaurin, Mc White, Mitchell, Nettles, Oliver, Parks, Patton, Phillips, East, Roper, Rogers, Russell, Skinner, 3. L Smith, Stack house, Sturkie, Suddath, Tatum, Tay lor, Vaughan, Whitmire, Wilborn, W. C. Wolfe,Wylie, Yeldell. The bill was then passed and sent to the Senate. GONINITO WLNTEE QUARTEES. Over in-the Senate the bill went into ine uar.*trs or, In other words, in beh ands of the judiciary. com mittee. There It stayed untilSaturday when It came up: snirched with an unfaha reort, ato which aegh or the nine members of tne committee ,had agreed. The first Senatorial debate on the subject occuirred. Friday on a resoln tion introduced by Senator Fuller, of Laurens, to require the judiciary committee to report the bill that day. The John Gary: Evans bill, providing for State and county dispensaries from which the stuff could be bought in quantities from a half pint to five gal lons, had been favorably reported, and friends of the Roper bill seemed to be dissatisfied on ccount of it not having been hustled through and given .an even start. Senators Wilson, and Evans, mem bers of the committee, and several others, took the ground that the reso lution was an imputation that the committee was endeavoring to smother the bill by unduly delaying it, and they vigorously resented it. Senator Finley made the fight for the resolu tion, denying that it reflected upon the good faith of the com mittee, and arguing that since the committee had already reported favo rably upon the Evans bill, it must, to be consistent, report the Roper meas -ure unfavorably any way, therefore. why keep it back? The membere of the committee re plied to this by declaring that they felt bound. to respect the request of both sides to be allowed a bearing. The resolution was defeated by a vote of 25 to 10. Inasmuch as the question of reflecting upon the committee waS involved in the vote it was not a fair test of the prohibition strength. PROHIBITION BILLS WITHOUT NUMBER. Senator Brown's bill, the same as the Timmerman License bill of last year, came up Saturday. Senator Timmer man staled that he had conscientiously advocated such a measure last year and that he still favored it. He moved to continue the debate until to-day, and the motion prevailed. This, with the Evans bill and the Roper bill, will come up in the Senate to-day and the fighting will be furious. There will be a stubborn minority who will insist on the iron-bound Roper measure. THE GOVERNOR APPROVES THIS. The Evans bill is said to be stamped with the seal of the Governor's ap proval, and will enter the contest with that advantage, but the Roperites will fight it vigorously because they do not believe that it is a prohibitory measure at all. The Brown-Timmerman bill is mere by-play, and will only serve to give those two gentlemen, and possibly one or two others, an opportunity to vote against the Roper bill. Ten or twelve Senators will array themselves square ly against any form of whiskey llegis lation, and they will have abundant power to embarrass the divided oppo sition. NO PROHIBITION THIS SESSION. The situation is about .this: None of the proposed bills can possibly reach a third reading before Tuesday, and there are a thousand chances against any of them reaching it before Wed nesday or Thursday. It is out of the question for the Roper bill to pass the benate. No other bill will have time, if,passed in the Senate, to get through the House. Then the supply bill will be under consideration in the Senate throughout the week, together with the work of winding up pending mat ters that cannot be passed over. There are scores of local and private measures on the calendar and their projectors are mole desirous of fulfilling the wishes of their constituency in regard to these than they are to fool with prohIbition. When, in addition to this, it is con sidered. that the Senate has taken the whole prohibition question in an easy, don't care way, and. has shown no dis position for spasmodic exertions,- the conclusion is inevitable that prohibi tion is stone dead so far as this session is concerned-afact which is now gene rally leonceded. Even Generalissimo Nettles -writes, to his paper that the Roper bill cannot pass. AGAINST WOMAN SUFFRAGE. Senator Hemphiil, of Abbeville, de livered a capital speech on his pro posed constitutional amendment grant ing.women the right to vote and hold office-. The Senator~ had evidently given the-subject careful study and he was listened to by:the whole Senate, as-well as by a female college or two in the galleries, with the utmost atten tion. Fouirteen Senators from both fac tiori allantly voted against tire un favorable -eport, which report pre asildd, going to show- that the propo sition was at least received seriously, Bome of this Senators who voted against it admit that the idea is gain ing ground, and say that the race problem is the great obstacle in the way of it in the South. Colored wo men would have no hesitation in going to the polls, but it would be a long time before a. majority of the white women would consent to dabble in politics. )Iirabile dictu, none of the Senators made the point that the surrender of political supremacy to the women would emancipate the men in domestic affairs 'and bestow upon them, in an Ideal .form,' that "local self-govern miet," whieb is the underlying theme of the office-seeker. Seitator slige--of Newberry, voted against the-bill. TlE ADMINISTRATION REFUNDMENT SCHEME GOES TH REoUGIM. -The ,efundment schemre of the Ad ministration has passtgi the House, and only awaits its tbird reading in the Seunnie. Senator Smythe intro duced some' amenid,,znts, a p'proved by the Governior, e.alet.ed to ire.ngtheu the bonds', wh,ich have b"een incorpo rated in the- ial. TPhey make the bonds and st--"s interchangeable, make the priniipavl of the bonds as well as the initerest receivable for taxes, and permit executors, guardia ns and other iduciaries holding the old six per cent. bonds, to exchange them for the new four and one-half bonds. THE "RAILROAD COERCION BrLL." The Wilson railroad bill, known as the "railroad coercion bill," has passed both houses, and as soon as it is en rolled and ratified it will receive the Gvernor's signature, unless his Ex cellency reads the signs of the times differently. The vote in the House was 66 to 37. The radical provisions of the measure were-too strong for some of the reformers and they refused to vote for it. Mr. Blesse,'of Newber ry, had spread on the journal the fol lowing reason for voting against this reform measure: Because I think the bill should be amended, and the House has refused to accept amendments of fered by friene of the bill. THE GOVER-NOR REFUsES TO IN TE.RFERE. Saturday a number of prominent railroad men called on Governor Till man and presented him with an ad dress, urging him to exercise his vetot power. The address recites the de plorable financial condition in which the roads find themselves, and the evils that are likely to follow from the inordinate power given the Railroad Commissioners to fix freight and pas senger and joint rates. 2The Governor declined to interfere. He predicted that the roads would not suffer from the action of the comnmis sioners, and took occasion to inform the magnates that the prejudice felt against the roads by the reformers was attributable to their refusal to pay their taxes and the consequent litiga tion. THE EMPLOYES TO PROTEST. The emnployes of the roads who re side in Columbia have called a mass meeting for to-night to protest against the bill. They.will call upon the em ployes of railroads throughout the State to meet and take similar action. Among the men leading in this work igman's movement are some who wee cnsnicuou laders of the 'Pil1 tmanite forces in this county during the late campaign. The fact that these men recognize c that the passage of the Wilson bill threatens to throw them out of em- j ployment goes to show very pointedly 1 its serio,is and menacing character. t THE RACE FOR COMMISSIONERS. Numerous candidates for Railroad Commissioners have been loafing about the legislative halls and hotel lobbies and they are steadily multiplying. Sligh, of Newberry, and Thomas, of Sumter, who is one of the present commissioners, are almost certain of election, and the third place will go to 2 Yeldell, of Edgefield, or Stanland, of Berkeley. The bill has been so amend ed that no territorial lines will be a qualification for membership. Mr. Stanland is supposed to be the proprie tor of a chance to beat Mr. Yeldell. r The other candidates are Clerk Gray, of the House, Galloway, Commissioner t Duncan, D. W. McLaurin and Whit- t man, of Union. The last named en- " ters the race with a cordial recommen dation for remarkable unfitness, which t he personally sought and obtained t from the Columbia State. AN INSURANCE COMPROMISE. The insurance bill to require compa nies to make deposits with the State Treasurer before doing business in the State has practically defeated. Between that and the bill to create an insurance department there has been a compro mise in the House, and on Saturday a s bill requiring the companies to pay a t license of $100 was passed. THE SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE SAFE. The supply bill passed its second reading in the House Saturday. The t South Carolina College by it gets $30, 000, an adequate sum, but it only t escaped being cut down by one vote, t the other institutions receve the usual appropriations. THE ELECTION OF TRUSTEES. On Saturday the two houses met in joint sessien and filled vacanc;es on f the board of trustees of the South Caro lina College by the election of J. W. Stokes, of Orangeburg, W. D. Evans, 8 of Marlboro; F. H. Weston, of Colum bia; and John T. Sloan, Jr., of Colum bia. H. M. Stackhouse, of Marlboro, was elected a trustee of Clemson Col- t lege to fill the vacancy caused by the 1 death of his brother, the late Congress man Stackhouse. THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT BILL TO GO " e_ OVER. Itreenis pretty sure that the county government bill will go over for another year. As introduced, the bill has many defects and the Senators seem very loath to essay the task of perfecting it. Senator John Gary Evans, the author of it, has been very anxious to have it pressed, but while a change in the coun ty government system seems to be generally desired, there is a noticeable lack of men who earnestly and aggres sively advocate it. CHARLESTON IS ALL RIGHT. The scheme to put Charleston in the "black district" has been knocked in the head and is dead as a door nail for this session. NO FREE PASSES. The Senate sat down heavily on the bill, which passed the House, to repeal the act prohibiting the use of free passes. The vote was 24 to 9. There was no debate. The members of the General Assembly would hardly have "courtesics" lavished upon them by a the railroads just now, and the refusal to repeal may save somebody fromt feeling slighted. Mr. Bligh of Newberry voted for the bill to repeal the anti free pass law. -No EXHIBIT AT CHICAGO. A delegation of World's Fair workers stormed the citidal of -legislation all last week, but the efforts of these fair laborers were of no avail with the law makers. t. resolution to appropriate $7,000 for a colonial exhibit was sum-1 maily killed.1 THE WOEK DONE AND WHAT IS IT?. This week will see nothing new in the way of upheaving lawmaking, andc thelegslators will feel satisfied when they have put the finishing touches upon what haa already been accomp lshed-it being taken for granted that prohibition is cold in its watery grave and that county government has found. rest in the bosom of Senator Evans for another twelvemonth. NO MORE TAX EXTENsIONS. On motion of Mr. Jordan, of Aiken, . the following was incorporated in the supply bill: All taxes herein assessed shall be due and payable from the 15thJ of October to the 31st of December, 1893, and in no event shall an extension beyond the time herein provided be granted. - - THE GOVERNOR EXERCISES THE VETO. 1 - This is ini conformity with the views] of the Governor. Last Thursday he I vetoed the resolution to extend the taxpaying time to..lanuary 15, saying that he had instructed the Comptroller to extend it to the 1st, characterizing it] as a useless and vicious custom, and giving notice that be would not approve t again. The Governor's veto was 1 sustained by a vote of 83 to 26. Repre sentative Blease voted against the veto.] HE WANTED 5} MILLS. Mr. J. T. Duncan, of Newberry, moved to amend the supply bill mak ing the State levy 5} mills instead of 5, 1 as provided in the bill. He gave as his. reasons that the enemies of the Admin istration would not mind doing any-. thing they could to create a deficiency in the treasury. There were cases in litigation and there was $170,000 due on uncalled for interest on State bonds, which ruight be rushed forward at a critical ime. Mr. Ashley squashed this by saying that the levy was already a half mill more'than last year; on his motion it was tabled. REPRESENTATIVE DUNCAN TALKS. R?epresentative Duncan, being asked by The Herald and News representa tive to furnish some data for the edifi cation of the "home people,".spoke as follows: "It is pretty well understood that all House bills are now too late for pass age, unless already made special order. Senate bills of general interest are in time. "It now -appears, as was apparent from the outstart, that there will be no . prohibitory legislation. The Childs- 1 Roper-Nettles amalgamation is so Un certain in its provisions, and so varied i ts interpretations even among its frTnds that they are by no means en t usiastic in its behalf. "it is sleeping in the hands of the Senate Committee to which it was as signed. "The bill of Senator Brown's which I offered in the House, with amend ments, was an advance step, and since half a loaf is better than no bread, it] should have been adopted, and a pru dent step would have been taken toward prohibition. I claim that $500 as the minimum license fee, with all 'ees, be they $500 or more, payable to the County Treasurer for general coun ty purposes, would throw the larger I towns and cities on the side of prohibi-t tion, for as soon as they are compelled to tax themselves to maintain police regulations they will look upon the bar room as a nuisance, and cease to license it. "Again, if any city persists in licens ing,-the present order is changed, for the State is claimed for prohibition, and the liquor men must petition and vote for license at intervals of twoc years. All gained for prohibition thus far has been step by step. Progressive . legislation is safe, while too aggressive ai step may cause .reaction." Mr.-Duncan says his friend, the Ob server, has fallen into an errer. Thet Governor favors the Athens, Ga., dis-e pensary plan-so he is infoiined. Thefriends of Clemson :College are1 L"The imprudence of some of the riends of the South Carolina College ame near defeating an appeal to the ;enerosity of the majority. The ma ority insisted upon figuring the cost >er student, instead of bearing in mind heir pledge to its liberal support. "Recognizing the fact that there oust be some national legislation on inances, and the probability of a State 3anking system being adopted, it is leemed probable that there will be a iecessity for a bank inspector who can .lso adt as actuary. and inspector for asurance and land loan companies." HEY DON'T PRACIlCE WHAT THEY PREACH. The salary reduction bill was killed n the House to-day and a resolution as passed providing for the appoint ent of a commission to sit during the ecess, investigate the matter and re >ort at the next session. Josh Ashley ried his best to get the "reform" boys o "practice what thef preached on the tump", but the commission idea took ike wildfire as a good temporary sola ion of the matter, and it was passed >y a vote of 68 to 33. Representative 3lease voted against the commission dea. Messrs. Duncan and Hardy voted or it. OVER TO THE NEXT SESSION. The Senate to-day carried the county overnment bill over until the next ession. The Senate agreed to a resolution to ppoint a cemmission to iavestigate he feasibility of establishing a seperate asticution for the blind. HAMBVRG STILL LIVES. The bill to take away the charter of he town of Hamburg, drawn in ac ordance with the recommendation of he Governor, was killed in the Senate o-night. THE FIREWORKS NEXT!
