Mn. EDITOR A writer in the Saturday
Press of the 10th of December, signing himself
"sss" seeks to shed new light on the liquor
question by a discussion of the subject of
Double Crimes and One-Sided Laws" His
writing is self-contradictory; while the informa-
ton upon which he bases his alleged facts is
either grossly at fault or wilfully perverted to
suit his own peculiar views; neither is there logi-
cal coherency in what he probably intends for
argument. He quotes wildly from "Dr. Hol-
of analogy between what is said by DIR. Holland

quoted by him, is speaking of offences against
the law, while he, in speaking of liquor drinking
in this country, is speaking of a thing sanctioned
by the law and by society too, and it is simply

SAN FRANCISCO, December Is.
Considering that she is a woman almost fault
lessly beautiful, a princes f%avOrite, separated
from her husband and on the stage, perhaps it is
not really so strange that two worlds have been
in a Autter for a month over the rather innocent
hirtations OF Lille Langtry, as she now signs her
wOrld-read endorsements OF various cosmetics.
liz is very good of her to give the world her name
and doings for its mirth and speculation, and
very wise of her to change the name of the hero
because the world likes change. Every possible
and impossible story, guess and innuendo had
been exhausted about the lady and her prince,
when the new planet of Mr.. Gebhardt's ascend
ant star swims into our ken. Madame has be-
witched the aristocracy, she now smiles upon q
representative OF democracy. For MIR. Gebhardt
Freddy as his friends call him-is quite a rep
resentative democrat, and has been described as
one who 9 did not sell things himself, but whose
father sold things the treasure accruing from
the paternal barter being sufficient to permit a
New York man to lead a New York life upon the
interest of his funds without impinging upon his
principal. He is said to be a man OF few but Tor
chile words, like " How do you do p and What
will you take" Mrs. Lanstry seems to have
said, '' Flowers. in response to the latter query,
for Gebhardt's bill for flowers during his inamo-
rata short New York engagement was said to be
two thousand dollars. His trustworthy effort
for fame in attempting to blend this matches
lily with his wealth was first made known to a
wondering world by the misunderstanding be-
tween Mrs. -Langtry and Mrs. Labouchere ending
in the departure of the latter for England obedi-
emit TO an anxious cable from Mr.. Labouchere. 1t
is true that the English papers copy all the adj
verse criticisms in the American papers, and Mr..
Labouchere thought be discerned cause for alarm.
Easterr society kept its doors closed to Mrs.
Langtry even before her indiscreet acceptance of
and marked favor to the one admirer who
is said not to express her good taste or intelligence
in his selection. Some of her were

Original gravity is what Mr.. Lee names pounds.
Alcohol is something less, extract something
more, as one ounce in Is. But ale does average
6H per cent of alcohol; porter may go as high
beer, IL per cent. Mr.. Cruzan, unable to deny
that all matter contained in beer except the
alcohol is very nutritious and easily digestible,
thought fit to slightly color his statement, SO
instead of saying, Something more than one
ounce of extract of malt, " he said, GA little e1-
tract of malt" 1 hope Mr.. Lee will not publish
any more of his scientific statements, as it
ir rather difficult 10 find out what he means, but
go to work and produce a palatable, light, cheap
beer, which offered to our public will do more to
prevent intemperance than all the arguments of
our prohibitionists. May Mr.. Lee succeed.

Possibility of a Trial in New

justices of the District Supreme
Court who heard the argument upon
the bill of exceptions in the Guiteau
case, are still unable to agree. The
Chief Justice and Justice Hagner are
reported.'of the opinion that the ex.
ceptions should be overruled, and
Justices Macarthur and James believe
they should be sustained. If a decis-
ion is not reached tomorrow re.
arrAignment will be ordered, with
Justice Wylie also upon the bench,
making five Justices. Should the
exception as to the jurisdictions be
sustained, a new trial would take place
in New Jersey, Guiteau,s counsel
there would again raise the question
of jurisdiction upon the ground that
assault and death must take place in
the same jurisdiction, in order to rem.

CAPTAIN Athy is announced as a
candidate for reelection as Sheriff
The Avalanche of yesterday pays him
the following well deserved compli.
ment:
The mere announcement that Phil
Athy will be candidate for re-epc-
tiOn is convincing proof that he will
be the Sheriff for the next two wears.
The Avalanche knows little about the
party manipulations in connection
with the county Offices and cares less,
but it thinks it knows capable officer
when he has been tried and not found
wanting. Instead of putting Athy's
name specially on one ticket it would
not be a bad idea to put it on all the
tickets, and thus make the election of
the Sheriff unanimous.
No man has served the people of
Shelby county more efficiently than
Sheriff Athy. He has been tried in
the fire and put to the sevcrest tests.
He has been the faithful servant and
friend OF the people through thick and
through thin these many eventful
years. The Office is not what it has
been in profit, but it is an honorable,
responsible position, and could hardly
be placed in worthier hands. Captain
Athy enjoys in a remarkable degree
the confidence and personal friendship
of the people in this community. So
far he has no opposition as candidate
for reelection.
