THE STATES ATTORNEY has been
very freely censured for the past year or
two for not more fully enforcing the
liquor license laws. And this is no more
than each of his predecessors had TO en-
counter. But a few weeks ago printed
petition was circulated by the most ardent
temperance men that quite ''run this thing
into the ground" Mr.. Pennington sup
posing that the gentlemen who signed
their names to the petition knew what it
asserted was true, gave them an opportu-
nifty of proving it by summoning them to
New Castle. There was some 300 or 400
summoned. When asked if they knew
any one that had sold liquor contrary to
law, the answer was in almost every
case in the negattue. OF course they did
not mean to sldnder the officers of the
law when they signed the petition; but
it looked somewhat like putting their
names to mischievous document after
they appeared at New Castle. The
States Attorney, however, took the ma
ter very coolly, and doubtless felt that he
was discharging his duty fully. At all
events he has given some of our citizens
lesson which they will remember for
some time.
The license law for the sale of liquor
differs very much from the law licensing
other business pursuits. 1t is very easy
to say the defect is in the lato. But the
defect is in the men who fear to go for
ward and boldly witness the sale and
then 60 to New Castle become informers.
If adry goods merchant sells without a
license, he pays his fine for the year, and
there is the end Of it. If the liquor seller
was let off with one small fine, he would
not go TO New Castle at all-he would
pay it. But the liquor license law is SO
framed to deter men from selling; and
the saloon keeper may be fined
for every glass he sells without license
while the dry goods merchant gets off by
paying single fine for six months or a
year. When it is remembered that the
Court iAay fine the liquor seller $50 and
costs for each separate glass that it is
proven he has sold, and in order to live
he must sell thousands of glasses, the
difference is seen at once. Now it il
nonsence to say the law cannot be ell.
forced. 1t has been enforced and nc
license law can be made to reach the OBJ
ject desired unless about the same trouble

The Herald says: His Majesty King
Carnival entered the city yesterday, but
not in the manner that was expected OR
desired. Instead of pageant of pictur-

an extremely dull advertising show, from
which thousands of people turned away
in disgust. This dreary procession, like
a wounded snake dragged its slow length
along, and it was relief when it endec
