JOh7tsO7a's License

The case of E. S. johnson, charged with
selling liquor at the Theater Comique without
license. was tried before Judge Cooley yester.
day afternoon.
The defendant showed by witnesses that he
had obtained license to run a theater about
ten months ago. Shortly after
procuring the license he sold
the theater business to w. w. Brown, and
soon afterward petitioned the city council to
grant him liquor license iu exchange for the
one to run theater. This was granted and
since Browns license was revoked lie has been
selling on the one granted him. In view
of these facts Segrave Smith, coun-
sci for the defendant, argued that
the defendant could not have his license taken
away without cause. The new charter holds,
however, that the mayor can revoke licenses,
and the court, while being of the opinion that
the law was an arbitrary one, could do moth
ing but to find the defendant guilty. johnson
was ordered to pay fine and costs amounting
to 1888, and stay of proceedings was
granted for three days.

BARGAINING seems to be a characteris-
tic of the Republican party in every part
of the country. Whenever they cannot
effect their purposes by honest means.
they tempt the cLpidity of those who are
likely to interfere with their plans. An
other instance in point has been Brought
to light by the application of Mr.. Pelouze
for the Richmond postoffice. He claims
that he withdrew from the Congressional
race last fall with the distinct under
standing that he should have the Rich
mend postoffice. This promise was
made by the readjuster leaders and an
proved by the leading Republicans who
favored a coalition with the readiusters
In applying for sthe postoflce Mr.. Pc.
louze found that the readiusters and Re-
publicans of Richmond had preferred an.
other man to him. If the agreement is
not carried out, however, he prop ,ses to
raise Cain. Republican corruptionists
ought to be held to their bargains.

A HINT of some significance is con-
tanned in the action of some of the pa
irons of the telephone company in Wash
ington. When the system
was first inaugurated, the rates fixed
were quite reasonable, but a short time
since the company, thinking to extort
additional profits from them, undertook
to increase the rates about twenty-five
per cent. The subscribers rebelled, and
329 of them have ordered the company
to remove the instruments from their
places of business, and also to take down
all wires from the property under their
control. A similar course in other cities
where the same extortion is attempted,
would no doubt bring the monopolists to
their oats.

So Sheriff Thompson Score the Jail Vas
Last October.
The jury in the case of B. w. Smith, admin
istrator of the estate of James 81. Munger,
against N. R. Thompson, sheriff, were charged
yesterday morning by Judge Vanderburgh in
an impartial manner. After three hours de-
liberation they returned with a verdict for the
defendant The verdict did no,
create much surprise, as the watch
man, Virgins, former partner OF Thomp.
sons, who was supposed to remain in the
jail all night, testified that although there was
no roof on the Jail the night of the storm, he
did not get wet, and sat directly in front OF
Munger's cell. Of course, after making these
statements under oath, the jury
could do nothing but find for
the defendant. That the death of Munger
was caused by exposure at The ''ice house,
called the county Jail there can be no doubt,
and that the sheriff was not responsible for his
death is not question OF fact. The
testimony of Sheriff Thompson, Matt Bros,
John Ench and a night watchman named
Virgins, was to the effect that the Jail at the
time of the blizzard last fall was not only hab-
liable but comfortable and that the cell in
which Munger was confined was SO
warm that it was uncomfortable.

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceaed by a sense Of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times symptoms of in
digestion are present, as fatulency, uneasiness
of the stomach, etc. A moisture like pers-
piration, producing very disagreeable itch.
ing, particularly at night after getting warm
in bed, is a very common attendant.
Internal, external and itching piles
yield at once ON the application of
DR.. Bosanko's, Pile Remedy, which acts
directly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the Tumors, allaying the intense itching and
effecting permanent cure where .il other
remedies have failed. Do not delay until the
drain on the system produces permanent disa-
bility, but try it and be cured. Price so cents.
Ask your druggist for it, and when you can
not obtain it Of him, we will send it, prepaid,
on receipt of price. Address The DR.. Bosanko

THE refusal of the supreme judges to
sit in the bond matter is quite singular
except as to Judge Mitchell, who, we un-
derstand, having been an attorney in the
case, is disqualified The question to be
determined is purely legal one. The
morality or legality Of the bonds is not an
issue. The equities in the matter are not
considered. 1t is simply whether con-
tract can be impaired and destroyed by
amending the constitution. The point
would apply to any similar case as well
as to this. The judges are unnecessary
punctilious in lodging the legal question
involved.

Battle rs. Baltic.

The trial of Amanda Baltic and Charles
Johnson, charged with adultery, will come
before Judge Cooley to-day. The warrant for
the arrest of the parties was issued about two
weeks ago, but owing to suit of divorce which
was pending in the district court between
the complaining witness, j. G. Baillie, and one
of the defendants, Amanda Baillie, the case
was continued until after the divorce case had
been disposed of. Yesterday the divorce
case was tried before Judge Young, and
the evidence being very conclusive and the
defendant putting in no answer or appearance
it is probable that the order granting divorce
will be granted. The two most important
witnesses against Mrs. Bailiee and johnson
are Mrs. Baillee's husband and her brother, D.
D. Sutherland, both Of whom state that they

TEE talk of an extra session of Con-

speaker of the House once more to the
front. Mr.. Kiefer, Of Ohio, has great
hopes of success in view of the fact that
his State was barred out of the cabinet.

ably have considerable support at the
East, while Kasson, of Iowa.. Reed, of
Maine, Dunnell, of Minnesota, and Bur
rows, of Michigan, are all willing to
shoulder the responsibility of the posi-

however, are committed to the heresy
of protection, Democrats will care very
