f WASTEFUL LUXURY
| AT NATIONAL CAPITOL
jfe ;80W THE PEOPLE'S MOSEY IS SQUAN
P DERED IN. MARBLE PALACES AND
ORIENTAL SPLENDOR.
The U S Senate is not considerably
larger than it was in the days
of Charles Sumner, L Q C Lamar,
Roacoe Conkling and Jas G Blaine.
One would suppose that Senatorial
luxuries which satisfied Matt
r^Carpenter, Dan voorhees, William A
Clark and Leland P Stanford might
content the souls of Joe Bailey, Bill
Stoue, John Daniel, Nelson Aldrich
and Steve Clay.
But no! Times have changed.
The marble palace which seemed
. good iu the eyes of Senators, twenty
k years ago. is now too cramped, too
incommodious for the stately creatures
who fill the seats of the
mighty. They needed more room,
better accomodations, surroundings
commensurate with their lofty ideals
of their own superlative importance.
So they looked leisurely about
on/1 colfWpH a ri?*flrhv lot. and
VUVUi U Jv* ovivvwv? ?. ?.... ^ / ,
upon thi6 convenient spot began to
build another palatial edifice, to be
devoted entirely to Senatorial comfort,
dtgaity, pomposity and selfindulgence.
Our sympathies go out with a tumultuous
rush, toward the man who
would rather repose on the hearth*
rug, or door-mat, than to sleep in
the same bed with another man; but
B we had not supposed that even a
BUS Senator or Supreme Court
B judge, would demand a bath room
B which no other mortal but himself
B should use. However, we find that
B we have much to learn. Our sen
B ate is composed of less than a bunW
dred demi-gods, yet these semi-celestial
creatures hare spent four
million dollars of our money, in
building for themselves a new home,
in which each Senatorial demigou
^ ^ is to have a suite of maguificent
apartments, a bath-room all to himself,
a dining room which is finer
than that of any king, barber shops
that are a dream, and a restaurant
tJU that will make Delmonico's resemble
W by contrast a discarded sawmill.
? ? mi __ I
R Four million aouars: laam a
r pile of money isn't it? And it
I came out of your pockets. No oth
er legislative body on this planet has
ever treated itselt to such an outlay
for personal comfort. The work of
the Senate did not require such a
building. The expense of constructing;
this marble palace and maintaining
it, adds nothing whatsoever
to the good of the public service.
In fact, a Senator environed by
luxuries is not apt to be a worker.
Living like a lord, with his exclusive
bath-room, and his exclusive
this, that and the other, he will naturally
and inevitably become aristocratic
in his views, as well aa m his
habits, and his votes in the Senate
will reflect the subtle charge.
Democratic principles have everything
to fear from Senators who
wrap themselves in Oriental seclusion
and luxury.
But they are not to blame. The
fault is yours. Sovereign power to
' nAitntrv was nut into VOUT
^ (UIV wv - i -- ?
T-- Rands, and yon have not used it to
good purposes.
| You have neglected your duty.
You have not kept watch over your
representatives. You have not
called on them to account for extravagance,
or other wrong doing.
Hence they do what they please,?

WA1 ON DEAD BEATS. \
a
j Greenwood iercbaats fir litial Pro- ,
i lectin Issue Bulletin Naming Them. (
The Greenwood Merchants' asso- f
ciation has just issued a quarterly *
bulletin setting out the object of the 1
organization, and it also contaius a '
list of the dead beats of that town. 1
Iu speaking of the first report the I
Greenwood Journal says: 1
? ?? * i -- i-!-. i:-i r
"l ne Dunecm aiso concaius a uai ?
of the parties against whom accounts
have beeu given to tne association c
for collection with the amounts an- 8
nexed. 1
"This list is quite a long one and 8
serves as a good index as to the financial
standing of these parties. There
is likewise a list of the accounts disposed
of, showing those that have
been paid in full or in part. A num- 1
be: of claims have been paid in full, 1
the total amounting to several hun- c
dred dollars. lu some instances notes *
have been given for the claims.
' We suppose that this bulletin ^
will bo issued quarterly. It will serve ^
a good purpose to the members, en- 1
abling them to know whom to trust
and whom not to credit. It may also j
se;ve as a stimulant to the fellow c
who is slow and careless about meei - c
iag his obligations,for we should not f
think that anyone would like to have
his name recorded in this document
No one has any right to it except i
1 e i.i i.: ?
uxeuiuers ui cue iuowiauuu.
If the merchants of Williamsburg would
only come together and form
such an organization at Kingstree,
what an advantage it would be to f
the trading public. It would enable
them to sell on a closer margin aud
the customer who deals fairly with
the merchants will be the one who
gets the benefit for acting squarely.
It would not he very pleasant for
one to know that his name was on
the list of dead beats of his town,and
his self respect would cause him to
try to pay for what he buys.
