The ship subsidy scheme jn tl is one of the most flagrant class pref schemes that has been proposed for;as x years. In order to control the votes -t'ir , . r, ?' of "close" States, the Republican party ? is willing to commit legalized robbery sign* of the people of the United States, and lice give the booty to a few favored '1(' n viduals.

Congress has passed a bill appropriating $70,000 for the establishment of an immigration station at Charleston, which assures new-comers from distant _ shores to those of South Carolina a suitable place of disembarkation. The matter of immigration has taken definite shape in South Carolina, and the first triji of Commissioner Watson was fruitful of results which have warrantj ed the immigration bureau in sending him back to Germany and Holland. Nor will he go alone this time, but ornier Governor llevward and Mr.' j James Cosgrove, a legislator, will accompany him. These three gentlemen ' expect to visit several foreign couti'l tries, but "their trip abroad will be spe-1 'jeilically for the purpose of obtaining j j from the IJovds Steamship company 'a promise to operate :it regular in-1 . tervals, and frcmicnt, a line of inuiii) 1 .. gration steamers to the port of Charleston. There is 110 reason why Charleston should not become the immigration . port for the entire South, and we trust I . the good old Carolina c'?y will reap rich harvests from the movement. CHANGES IN THE SENATE. The public mind has been turned II to the United States senate during the I nasi winter liv reason of llie fne? llirit ! many worthy senators with records for i .long-continued service, ability and cont servatism, have been defeated by can| didates of inferior intellectuality, with little or no experience in national statecraft, who are political freaks whose success has come from a play upon the prejudice of the rabble. ! Some of the more conspicuous changes , are: Patterson, Democrat, of Colorai do. being succeeded by Guggenheim. Republican; Carmack. of Tennessee, succeeded by Taylor, Democrat: Berry. \rkansas, succeeded by Davis, both . Democrats; while the probabilities are I that Money, of Mississippi, will be sue ceeded by Vardaman.

He is coarse, brutal and itnmor- tlu but he is witty and is a fair speaker, nn: laving "the gift of gab.' Mr. Mon- tha retires from the senate of his own I h< c will, and the outlook now is in the or of Governor Vardaman being sua >sen to succeed him. Money has not mo de a brilliant senator, but he is far whi erior to hi> kinsman who will sue- j tell: d him.

Senator Bailey, of Texas, returned I to the senate last Sunday,?the day before adjournment,?for the first time that session, lie was re-elected to the | senate atfer an investigation of his conduct in dealing with the Standard Oil, company, and the Texas legislature j vindicated him of the charges made j against him. But that vote of the legislature will not remove from his name the stain which it was sought to place upon it. Whatever may be the truth of the case, however innocent Mr. Bai-1 ley may be of the charges, his ene- j mies have damned his reputation 11 ' the eyes of many thousands of people. | He was successful in his refutation of the charges, he will serve another six years in the senate, but his utterances will not be received with that confidence on part of the public which has 1 ! heretofore marked his public words. 1 i Senator Bailey may have been inj uncint of the charges, but he was "too thick" with the folk of the trust. He 11 i< 1 not avoid the appearance of evil. lie dallied with temptation, and even j | ii he did not succumb, lie needlessly (laid himself open to suspicion. Pop. our part, we believe in the senator's I integrity; but we deplore his lack { foresight and discretion. ] I As for his enemies: They have bein successful in injuring the reputation of their senator, and with ghoulish glee the} will soon attack someone else, to I his hurt. The case is analigous to ji petty scandal in a small community,-!
