important Decision.

Judge Foster. of the U. s. District
Court, in case tried before him this
week at Topeka, has decided that it is no
violation of the United States law to sell
liquor to Indians when off their reserya
tions. This is quite an important decis-
ion, and will shut out nearly all those
Indian whiskey cases which consume so
much of the time of the court; as nearly
all of them are prosecutions for selling
to Indians when off their reservations.

DEAR SIR : Yours asking con

requiring fines aad penalties to be

ply | have TO say that before the
passage OF tins act it was provided
by act of March 23, 1871, that the
"county collectors should collect
aud turn over to tho auditor all
monies received by them in behalf
of the general school fund, OF
which, fines, penalties aad forfeit
ures imposed by any board, court,
or officer whatsoever, were part.
(Sections $50 239, Mliler's Digest
of Revenue Laws). The act of the
lith of December, 1878, section I,
provides that "all fines, pcnal,ics
and ioricitures imposed by any
court board, or officer whatsoever,
shall be paid into the county treas.
ury, when imposed for county pur-
poses"
Now, until the passage of this
act, they were not imposed for
county purposes, and 1t is clear 10
