C, under the Act of congress of March 8, 1879. "No dope" means nothing doing. Block systems should not be run by blockheads. The Legislature has gotten down to business at last. President Roosevelt's last message on the negro troops is a hot number. Governor Hughes, of New York, has started out on the right direc tion in fighting the trusts. No child should be allowed to work in a factory or work-shop un til it is able to read and write. The squirrel in Capitol Square Sunday were skirmishing for food. They don't seem to have had a chance at the pie-counter. If the .soldiers who "shot up" Brownsville had been white soldiers their dismissal would hardly have been noticed. It is time to "let up" on that matter. The Legislature should pass a reso lution limiting the hours of mill op eratives to ten hours. That is, the hours should not be over ten. Eleven hours is too much for anybody to work. Ben Tillman is always in the lime light. But he must have been dark with rage when he stuck his pitch fork into President Roosevelt on the negro soldier question in the Senate recently. There don't seem to be no surplus amount of help in the Legislature this year. The News and Observer recently said that at the last session there were so many pages, etc., that they almost "fell over" each other in trying to execute an order. There is an ordinance that all new gates shall be hung, opening on the inside, but the ordinance don't seem to be fully observed. Wilmington did the right thing ordered all old gates as well as new ones to be swung on the inside. There are cites in this city so doty that they can't be closed. They should be unswurigi TILLMAN'S TILT. f- It seems that Senator Tillman'a championship of the discharged ne gro troops, is not to see the negro troops receive justice, as it was to exploit his hatred of the President, on account of the snub he gave Till man during the visit of Prince Henry of Prussia, The snub was given on account of Mr. Tillman's utterance that he would help lynch a negro or white man who committed an assault upon a woman. But it is unjust for Mr. Tillman to abuse President Roosevelt on that account, as that incident was closed, and a3 the President would have done the same thing had the troops been white men. It also looks strange that Till man would champion the negro troops when the negroes of Chicago recently threatened to assassinate him if he spoke on the race ques tion in that city. It was at that meeting that Tillman first denounced the action of the President for his discharge of the negro troops. South Carolina does not uphold Tillman in his course against the President, es pecially his coarse question put to him. If Tillman would only use his pitchfork for the purpose of making hay, all would be well. Sunday night in this city a strang er from Kentucky hired a hack and was being driven around the town, when he told the driver to stop and gave him a $10 bill to get changed. The driver left the hack in charge of his guest and remained away one and three-quarter hours, when a police man was summoned, who drove the hack, with its passenger, to the police station, where the driver awaited its coming. The driver gave the man his change and carried him to his boarding house. It looked like an attempt to "do" the stranger out of his money. THE LEGISLATURE. Senate.

London, of Chatham, introduced a bill for the relief of Ir vin Nail, the father of the patient of the State Hospital who, over a year ago, escaped from the State Hospital here and was killed while being re captured. Dr. McKee, Superintendent of the Hospital here, wired to Mr. Nail as to the disposition of the body, and Mr. Nail directed that it be shipped to him at his home in Chatham. But it was necessary to embalm the body, it being in August, and very warm weather, and the charges on it, in cluding expressage, amounted to about $60. Mr. Nail is an old Confederate vet eran, about 70 years of age, with only one leg, and in very reduced circum stances. He had to mortgage practi cally everything he had and borrow what he could from friends in order to get the body of his son from the express company. The remains lay for several days unburied on that ac count, and the affair created much sympathy among Mr. Nail's friends and neighbors. Mr. London's bill authorizes the Treasurer to reimburse Mr. Nail. This matter of delayed trains has become an unendurable grievance, and something must be done to miti gate or remove it.

'' ' ' - General Picquart, the French War Minister, has made an extended flight in a dirigible balloon. Now it's up to T.aft New York World... "Thinking clubs" are being organ ized in Springfield, Mass. It is a movement representing a wholesome reaction. There are altogether too many talking clubs and too few, thinking clubs. New York Tribune. Mme. Bernhardt, according to Paris gossip, is soon "to play the devil." Nothing original about that. Many women have done it. New York Herald. Tillman reminds Foraker that the Ohio Senator was once known as "the fire alarm." That would about put Tillman in the riot-call class. Phil adelphia North American.
