The LIQUOR TRAFFIC.-A contribu-
tor to the State says that "the plan, as
,hadowed forth by Major Conrad in the
House discussion on Monday Of last
week, strikes us as wise. He would
make the traffic an open one: would
have license issued to none who could
DOT secure the endorsement of the mag
istrates of his district, the trustees Of his
town, or the Council of his city, as to
his fitness, and then lay tax 80 high az
to insure respectability and responsible
ity In the dealer and bring in the high
est revenue to the State. The worst
.vils to the people aid the heaviest
frauds on the State, we all know, flow
from the low dram-shops rather than
the more respectable drinking saloons.
A high tax will break down the former,
while the dread of forfeiture of license
by the latter not only insures compile
anoe with the law upon their own part,
out incites them to detective watch
fitness over others to prevent illicit
traffic"

MacLean is twenty-seven years old, and
supposed to be lunatic, but that will
not prevent him from being punished,

The Extra Session.

The Democrats of the Legislature be-

opposed both. The Readjusters have q
controlling majority, and can elect to
have either an extension or an extra
session, or neither; and it seems, as
might be expected, that they prefer an
extra session with the $3.50 to each, and
will rely upon the Governor to comply
with their wishes and put $3.50 into the
pocket of each member, and subject the
State to the unnecessary expense OF
probably $40. 200, the pay of the mem
bers alone being more than $4,000.

INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.-What
has become of the investigating com
mittee appointed on the resolution of
Riddleberger, about which he made
such hullaballow Was it all "fus-
tian and prunello." a mere brutem tasl-
men to frighten Massey? Itseems that
Massey did not dread, but courted in.
vestigation, and, SO far as we have OBJ.
served, the committee has not reported.
Why is this ? What was the meaning
of all the mock-heroic demonstration
made by Riddleberger
P. S.-Since the above was written,
we learn from the proceedings of the
Senate that on last Friday, Mr.. Berry,
from the committee appointed to in
vestigate charges against certain off
GERS, reported that the committee had
examined good many witnesses, but
no proof had been adduced to show
that there had been any bribery or cor
ruption on the part of any officer of the
Government.
So that Riddleperger, with the view
of injuring Massey, made much ado
about nothing"

sired to post the girl in advance one certain lit
tie point. She aud her husband belonged TO an
amateur theatrical company, and IN case Jane
heard any racket around the house she must not

the third evening Of the girls engagement Tho
husband taunted his wife with extravaganza, and
she said he played "poker' for money, and chairs
were upset and footstools were kicked around, and
threats were made OF "going home to mother"

"Yesmi"
at was simply q rehearsal, you know; and you

Jane heard sobs, signs, protesations, threats and

"Threats Of Divorce" and "Such Wretch n until
