According to the Scott tax law a
person to do business under the $1OO
tax must confne himself exclusively
tomalt and vinous liquors. The sale

the payment of the full tax of 5000.

Persons engaged in theliquor traf-
fc are not required to give a bond
under the Scott bill. The property
where the business is conducted is
held for the payment of the tax, and
that matter must be arranged be
tween landlord and tenant.@How do
landlords Alike that? And any per-
son selling liquor in leased property
without the written consent of the
owner is liable to fine not exceeding
500 and not less than $25, and may
be imprisoned in the county Jail not
exceeding ten days. If any of these
assessments are not paid when due
that is, by the goth day of June
then a penalty of 20 per centum will
be added. The proceeds of the tax
are to be credited by the county aud
itors-one fourth to the poor fund,
and the remainder to be equally di-
vided between the police fund and
the general fund. Where
there is nc police fund, three fourths
of the tax goes to the general reve-
hue fund. The county auditor is re-
quired to give notice, by adjudication,
to the saloon keepers in his county
that said tax must be paid before
the goth day of June, and the attor-
ney general is empowered to see that
the auditors perform this duty. g

How is it that the English when they

while in England they take the lead

At the recent session OF the Grand Jury
Elias Bsall, one Of the nortorlous Beall
brothers, was idlcted for felonious stabbipg,
the offsnse having been committed near MI.
de ChantaI several month ago. His attorney
came into court and asked that 8 day be set for
the case at the present term, and accordingly
yesterday was assigned for the hearing Of the
case. Day before yesterday Prosecuting At.
torney Jordan asked the court to construe
the Act OF 1882, which provides that q party
indicted for a felony may demand q icon.
tinuance without setting up any reason by
affidavit, as before required, at the first term
after the indictment Is found. The Prosecu-
tor wanted to know whether an indicted
party could demand an early trial, put the
state to the trouble aud Expense Of preparing
for the prosecution aud summoning witnesses,
make no preparation whatever for the de-
Tense, and then cont into court on the day
set for his hearing at his own request, and get
a continuance. Judge Jacob said he wss
forced 10 rule that that was the effect Of the
statute. This was Just what Bealls lawyer
did yesterday, and the Judge said he very re.
luctantly granted the continuance. Accord.
ingly the hearing was postponed till the next
term. This Is q billiant specimen OF law.
