position in favor of taxing and restricting tne
sale of liquor on weekdays and OF torblddlhg
it on Sundays, and can fight vigorously In sup
port of it, The Democrats, on the contrary,
are forced to take open opposition to all that
the Republicans maintain. Their candidate
for Governor, Judge Hoadly, was the lawyer OIL
the liquor interests in opposing the law, and
made the chief argument against its constitu-
tonality. II he had not made that argument
he would not have been nominated for Cover
nor. 1t follows, therefore, that he Is In the
field principally as the opponent OF the law
and he will occupy that position during the
can vass.
The law requires the payment OF an annual
tax of 5000 by the seller of all kinds OF liquors.
and of 800 by the seller of malt and vlnous
liquors only. If the tax is not paid when due
a penalty of 20 per cent Is collected. Every
dealer must have the written consent OF the
owner of the property to carry on the business
under penalty of q fine not less than $50 nor ex-
ceeding 500, OF ten days. imprisonment, or
both. The exceptions to the tax are: selling
liquor upon physicians prescriptions, for
mechanical or sacramental purposes, and the
manufacture aud sale in quantities OF one
gallon OF over at one time. Ot the money
received in this taxation in each county one
fourth is to go to the county poor fund, and
three-fourths to the treasury OF the village or
city in which the business is carried on VI
the latter amount one-half is to 20 to the po-
lice fund and the remainder to the general rev.
enue fund. If there is no police fund the whole
three-fourths is to 20 into the general revenue
fund. Liquor selling of all kinds is forbidden
on Sunday, and all places for such business
must be closed. The penalty for eithor selling
or opening is 500 with imprisonment not ex-
ceeding thirty days. Any city or village has
the privilege of further regulating, or restrict
ing or even prohibiting, the traffic if it sees fit
1t is estimated that the tax will bring into tho
county treasures of the State no less than
$2,OO0,O00 yearly, and that its immediate
effect will be to close permanently large
number of low groggeries which will not DO
able to pay the tax. These are effects which
cannot fail to make the law popular, and
hence to bring votes to the Republican ticket.

THE SCOTT LAW CONSTITUTIONAL.

The Supreme Court of Ohio has declared tn o
Scott Liquor Law, passed by the last Republi-
can Legislature, constitutional. This is the
decision which the Republicans were hoping
for, and it will undoubtedly be an important
aid to them in the coming campaign. 1t not
only vindicates the wisdom of Republican leg
islation, hut 1t will serve TO keep the liquor
issue in definite shape before the minds of the
voters. The Republicans can now retain their

The increased number of small prize fights
I'm the East lately is something which was to
be expected The prize fighters Slade, Mace,
Sullivan and Mitchell only few months ago
were the lions of this town. They were fol-
lowed by admiring crowds wherever they went,
and they engaged in public sparring exhibit
tons which were nothing but thinly dis
guised prize-fghts under police protection.
Naturally the minor "sluggers" were reused
to great activity by the presence and per-
formanccs of these distinguished pugilists,
and a revival of the prize-ring has followed
The last performance of this kind occurred
yesterday on Long Island. 1t was a brutal
affair, and attracted british crowd. There
was no interference. The police did not even
arrive lust after it was all over.

The election of Mr.. D. c. Robinson as his
own successor on the Board of Trustees OF
Union College probably means the retirement
of President Potter. MIR. Robinson repre-
sented the forces opposed to him, and now that
the Alumni who felt interest enough to attend
the meeting have given that party their ap-
prevail, Dr. Potter will probably be obliged
sooner or later to give place to some other
man. But Yesterday will be red-letter day for
Union if the action of the Alumni finally ends
the disgraceful squabblcs which have so long
operated against the welfare of the institution.
The college has had an unfortunate experience
with her presidents or rather the presidents
have had an unfortunate experience with The
college. DR.. Potter may console hlmself IN
part with The feeling that he has served the
college ably and faithfully; and if his seryl-
ces have been unappreciated he has only
shared the fate of some of his distinguished
predecessors. The burden of responsibility in
the new situation rests on the trustees. they
have never, 30 far as is known, done anything
toward increasing the endowment fund OF the
college or the number of students; now II they
get rid of President Potter, who has performed
both these duties WELL there will be loud call
for them to bestlr themselves.

There is a natural inclination among certain
Irish Americans to hold the English Govern
ment directly responsible for the fact that
paupers of Ireland have been assisted" to
this country. 1t is responsible, of course, on
the principle that the principal is bonnd by
whatever his agent does; but it is likely that
in that way only can the Government be held
to account. Earl Spencer, the Lord-Lieutenant
of Ireland, declared yesterday that he depre-
Gated forced emigration; and that aid should
be given carefully, so that only those persons
should be sent out who had some prospect of
success in their new homes. The condition
which he suggests seems to have been disre-
garded in the case of some Of the immigrants
on the Furnessia. Probably the results of the
investigations now going ON in ireland will
reveal the fact that the English Governments
Intentions are all right but that some of the
local authorities have been unable to resist the
temptation to get rid of certain unpleasant
persons who were burdens to the community.
We are curious to see what the State of
Tennessee will do eventually with its ex-
Treasurer, M. T. Polk, who was called for
trial in one of the Nashville courts yesterday.
Counsel for the defence wanted delay. and he
backed up his argument by affidayits showing
that Polk was returning to the Treasury the
several hundred thousand dollars which he
stole, as fast as he could and that the State
in the end really would not lose much, If any
thing. Apparently the lawyer expected the
Court to take dollar snd-cents view OF the
crime and TO consider the moral aspects of the
