Member of the Constitu ition, and would- * of Congress from the ^^Migwsiuuul District, announced from the floor of the Conrentiou that, owing to the 'iipdiiiM|p!brougbt to bear upon oar law makers bj lobbyism on the outside, n clause was insert ed in the Act causing it to take effect sixty days after its pas- saga. instead of immediately thereafter, as is usually the case; and that this was done to accommodate the Atlantic Coast Line, which had not, at the time of the passage of the Act, quite completed its arrangements for “gobbling’’ the C. 8. &N. Tru ly n strange statement to come from one who is himself a mem ber of the Legislature! But he is certainly fa a position to know whereof he speaks, and his statement is doubtless correct. If so, we have fallen upon , Strange times, and it would seem that there is indeed a “moral leprosy that permeates our gov ernmental fabric,” when mem bars of a Reform Legislature, who were elected to their posi tious on a platform pledging them to crush down the greed of corporations that are always reaching out for increased pow er, should have been themselves so easily subsidized and given over a ready prey to the “octopus.” You can’t -‘cuss out” a railroad with the same ready grace when you have its pass in your pocket, and Senator Tillman was right when he used to talk five years ago about the insidi ous effect of riding on a “free pass”—a fashion which, howev er, strange to say, never pre vailed among the higher State officers until he himself set them the example. So it seems that the Atlantic Coast Line “gob bled” something else besides the C.

About the time of the adjournment of the Convention, in an article which he sent to his paper, he took up some fifty or* seventy five of them in turn, and the way he worked them into mem hers of Congress, judges, solici tors and what-not was a caution to the uninitiated in such mat ters.

STILL HIGHER TAXES, The annual report of Phos phate Inspector Jones to the Legiftlaturo shows that the phos phate interests of the State are in a most deplorable situation, owing chiefly, it is said, to the depressed condition of- things agricultural throughout the world. If Mr. Jones’ gloomy prognostications are verified (and there is no reason to be Here they will not be), this great industry will never again be the source of revenue it once was to the State, and there are heavy burdens ahead for the tax payers to carry.
