THE INDIANA LIQUOR LAW.
IND1ANApoLIs, Jan. 22.-This forenoon Judge
Perkins, Of the Superior Court, filed o lengthy
opinion in over forty liquor cases, appealed to
his Court from the Board Of County Commission
ers, and the result is that the County Auditor is
directed to issue each Of the applicants license
for the retailing OF liquor. In this opinion Judge
Perkins rules: first that it is not necessary that
tho petition should contain the signatures Of.
those who actually vote at the election, but
rather majority Of the actual voters in the
ward; second, thera Vas no evidence before him
that the applicants treated the signers to their.
petition rs an inducement or bribery for such
eignerp, although it was shown that the signers
had been treated after such signatures had, been
made; third, the statute provides no particular
form, but gives in substance what it. shall
be. The form objected to, and on
which the applications were refused by: the
vision Of the County Auditor, and previous
Board granted licenses thereon. Fourth. on the
appeal Of Abbott ct al. against license being
gr nted Dean Updegran, No. II Fayette street,
tbs appellants failed to state that they were
aggrieved BY such decision OF the Com
missionerB. Further, that the affidavit didn't
declare such an interest as the Law con-
templated, nor did it show that
any injury had been done the appellants. AS IN
cases of public nuisanses, however much the np-
pel;ant may he agglieyed BY it, still, if he suffers
no injury in person or property other than that
which affects the public generally, he can have
no suit in court. The Court thought that the
same ru1e would apply in this case, aud hence
that the affidavit discloses no legal interest IN
appellants authorizing them to appeal.

PALM SUNDAY.-To-morrow is Palm
Sunday, and will be appropriately OBJ
served in the Catholic and Episcopal
churches. Palm Sunday is thus called
in memory of Christ's entry into Jeru-
salem, when the people welcomed him
by cutting down branches of the palm
trees, carrying them in their hands and
strewng them in the way. The day is
one which calls forth feelings of devotion
to the memory of the Savior of the world,
and being but one week removed from
that upon which the church celebrates
His resurrection, is one of the most Sa-
cred in the calendar.

withstanding the big crowd at the spell

their support appeared in the Cut

to say the play and acting was first class
would be supertiuous.
There will be matinee this afternoon,

tonight We advise all who want to see
first class artists, to attend the last per
formances of Baker and Farrou this
afternoon and tonight. Don't fail.

THE EQUINox.-Vernsl equinox oc-
ours tomorrow, and the lenght of the
day and night will be the same, the sun
rising at six o'clock in the morning and
setting at six o'clock in the evening.
The passage of the equator by the sun is
frequently accompanied by very stormy
weather, after which spring opens and
signs of vegetable life are apparent. The
sun will continue to recede from the
equator until the summer solstice, which
occurs on the Dist of June, until which
time the days will grow longer. After
that period the sun will again approach
the equator, and the days will grow
shorter as rapidly for six months, or until
the Dist day of December.

MARCH stands half way to the door,
shilly-shallying, hat in hand, apparently
undecided whether to go on or not. To
say the truth, we should be glad to see
the back of the clustering fellow, and
have done with him, for he has not added
to our comfort by his stay. He came in,
to be sure, in the most lion-like fashion,
and even had the cffrontery of babDling
about more sleighng and skating, though
he relented for little while in his
willful uncivil mood. Even now
when his time is short, he has once
more buckled on his arctics, and hangs
about with frosty breath, as if deter
mined to stay all spring. But this Is
little too much. Here Is April hover
Ing on the threshold, with her sweet,
Whimsical face all tears and smiles, with
the funniest little cold in her head, and
hands full of blossoms, and her voice
like water brook let free; and II gown
of the prettiest grass-grecn silk, with
dandelion buttons, and blue birds wing
in her iaunty Easter hat.
