The controversy that has been going on over
the importation OF foreign pictures into the United
States and the effect which the duty
laid on them is likely to have the production of
works Of art at home and the reception Of American
students and pictures by American artists abroad is
soon to be settled by experience A consignment Of
eghtyseven works In water Splors by representative
American artists residing at home has Just sent to
London for exhibition during the coming season.

Eliza Greatorex, and many others represented M

The Scott Liquor Law In Ohio.

The SCOTT liquor law. just passed by the
Legislature OF Ohio provides for tho collec-
ton OF tax OF 5000 on the general business
OF buying and selling Intoxicating liquors,
and 500 on the business Of buying and SELL
ing malt or vinous liquors or both.
"NO license to traffic In intoxicating
liquors" says the Constitution OF Ohio,
d" shall hereafter be granted in this State; but
tho General Assembly may by law provide
against the evils resulting therefrom."
1t Is already announced that the brewers of
Cincinnati will contest the validity of the
SCOTT liquor law in the courts, on tho ground
that 1t Is In violation OF the provision which
we have quoted from the Constitution.
A similar question arose In Michigan In
1878. The Constitution Of that State pro-
vides that the Legislature shall not pass any
act authorizing the grant OF license for the
sale OF ardent spirits or other intoxicating
liquors. so-called license tax was imposed
by the Legislature. 1t was attacked as uncon-
stitutlonal, the principal objection being that
tax hereunder on the trafilc In liquors was
equivalent to license OF the traffic.
The Supreme Court Of Michigan held, how
ever, that mere tax upon the traffic could
not be license OF the traffic unless the tax
conferred some right to carry on the bust
ness, which otherwise would not have OK
listed. Such was not tho case before the
court, nor does 1t appear now to BIO the case
In Ohio. The SCOTT law does not assume
to declare the liquor trade unlawful II the
tax is not paid. As the Supreme Court of
Michigan said u tbs sase to whlSb NJ have

A Chance for a Bargain.

The following announcement was printed
as an advertisement In a New York daily
paper:
EAMILY MONUMENT WILL BE EXCHANGED FOR
= gold huntns-case watch ind cash. Address WIDOW.
1t seems to DO an offer from one who en-
Joys what life insurance agents call expecta-
tions, and to DO intended for the eyes of those
who have no expectations to speak of-who
believe themselves almost through with time
and nearly beyond the need Of money. 1t Is
a business-like communication, with no SEN
timentalism about 1t. Had 1t been more ex-
plicit, the number OF persons to whom 1t
appealed in the first instance would have
been narrowed. and tho widow would have
had fewer chances OF finding some ono with
whom she could strike up the desired bar
gain for the market value Of gold watches
and monuments depends altogether on their
peculiar decoration.
It Is a principle OF commerce that gold
hunting-case watches with monograms or
Inscriptions carved on their cases are less
desirable according to the Simpsonian basis
OF valuation, than those not identified
In that manner. Persons OF forethought
who present themselves or their friends
with such tokens Of esteem often refrain
from having the engraver add anything
to them. Unless like provident re-
gard for tho possible exigencies OF the
future was exercised In respect to
the widows monument, she will hold

with persons who have watches to swap
which bear no marks that would make them
less desirable to others than their present

Negligence in Criminal Prosecutions.

"The defendant Is discharged on his own
rccognizance on account OF lachcs on the
part Of tho District Attorney to bring the
case TO trial"
Such is the endorsement written by the
Recorder OF tho city OF New York upon tho
papers In q case which was called for trial in
the Court Of General Sessions on Friday.
The prisoner was charged with having hired
a man to shoot anoAher. He had been in
prison for months. He was ready for trial,
and oil his witnesses were present in court,
but the District Attorney was not prepared
to proceed, and the Recorder thereupon dis
charged the defendant by reason Of the pub
lie prosecutors delay.
Another rebuke was administered by tho
Recorder to the District Attorneys Office on
tho same day. In consequence OF the num-
bcr OF defective or loosely drawn indict-
ments, he said no should require memo
randum Of tho particular statute under which
the bill had been drawn to DO attached to
every indictment placed upon his calendar.
Would 1t not also be well to have the men,
orandum include tho name OF the person who
drew tho indictment? Thus tho RESPONSE
blity could readily be fixed, and the Judges
would know where tho blame really belonged.

office properly. We are informed that he has
