state convention of liquor dealers al
lourned after perfecting state organi-
cation with a central committee OF hi
teen to look after auxiliaries and leSls-

agitation. The following was adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t is the opinion of all unbiased
and unprecedented citizens of Ohio that the
traffic in malt vinous and spirituos liquors
should not be prohibited as was most en-
phatically expressed by them through their
ballots on the second Tuesday of October last,
and
WAEREAs. The legislature of Ohio, at its last
session enacted q certain law known as the
Scott law, which is in direct violation of the
wise provisions of the constitution of Ohio and
derogatory to the business interests of large
class of persons, residents of Ohio, engaged IN
mercantile pursuits, and
WHEREAS, The said Scott law was enacted for
the purpose Of destroying and prohibiting said
traffic, therefore
RESOLVED, That we as citizens of OHIO, en-
gagged in the traffic of malt, vInous and sprituous
liquors, in convention assembled, are of the
opinion that the said Scott law is unconstitutional
and unjust, and therefore respectfully ask of
the coming legislature the enactment OF judi
cious aud constitutional law and thereby the
repeal of the Scott law.

People Who Buy Pops.
from the Chicago NeHs.l


The habit of carving revolvers and
pistols, frequently commented upon and
severely criticised by the newspapers, is
a growing one among the youthful and
middle-aged population of Chicago. A
well-known Madison Street dealer in
guns and firearms told reporter for
the Daily News to-day that the sale of
the serviceable kind of pistols-that will
"kill man every time lis continually
increasing. The "bull-dog" revolver,
such as Garfield was shot with, is the
most popular. Just after Garfeld's as
sassination a Pittsburg dealer was
obliged to send all his clerks and sales
men into this department, and even then
he could not meet the demands of his
customers. The American manufac-
turers, moreover, were unable to supply
the abnormal demand for these weap-
ons, and the English sources of prOduc-
ton were soon exhausted. The awful
destructiveness of the "bull-dog was
its chief recommendation to public ia
vOr at that time. Men wanted some
weapon to practically protect themselves
from such wild, deluded beings as Gui-
teau had proven himself. The danger
| from such a source was considerable,
and a genuine, practical remedy was be-
lieved to be in this devastating instru-
ment. In selling revolver or pistol to
any one the dealer is required to record
the purchasers name, age, residence,
and the purpose for which the weapon
is bought. No one under 81 years of
age is allowed to buy any weapon Of de-
Tense without written permission from
the parents or guardian of the purchas-
er, addressed to the dealer or "to whom
it may concern"
The costly revolvers, with carved pearl
handles and silver-plated engraved bar
rels, are sold mostly to the theatrical
profession and the cowboy class of hu-
mainly. The prices of this class Eof
weapons run as high as $50, $50, and
500. It is a remarkable fact that they
are usually worn by men who wear the
broad sombrero or Buffalo Bill style of
head-gear, flannel shirts and cowhide
boots. The high price Is seldom OBJ
jected to by these men, since the article
is, perhaps, the most valued one in their
wardrobes. An ordinance of the city of
Chicago provides that no concealed fire.
arms shall be carried by any citizen
without special permit from the city
government. It is probably fhe most

nance of the much-abused statutes of the

HINTS OF DISHONESTY
In Connection with the Failure of the
Exchange Bank of Montreal.

MONTREAL, Que, December 26,-The
liquidators of the Exchange Bank are
becoming sensible of the grave respon-
sibility of their work as developments
bring to the surface still other unheard-
of transactions which astound the di-
rectors, and of the nature of which
they avow they have no knowl-
edge. The latest incident of the
wreck is told to-day. The story is
to the effect that well-known specula-
tor drew several time-checks upon the
Exchange Bank, each payable at diff
ferent date and representing total of
100000 or over. These checks, it is
alleged, were accepted and signed by
the president and manager few days
before the banks suspension, and then
Endorsed by the maker, who got them
discounted at another local bank. Il
few days ago, it is said, the first of these
checks for about $4,000 became due,
but when presented for payment the IL
quidators could find no entry in the
bank books to represent the transaction.
The question is asked, was there collu-
sion between the speculator and the two
bankers, or how otherwise was the $780,
900 obtained as alleged?

Temperance in Sweden.
(From the Chicago News.I


The temperance people of Gothen-
burg, Sweden, are just now in the midst
of an interesting and curious struggle
with a rich distil1er, known popularity as
the :" Brandy King" The city only al
lows liquor TO be sold IN few saloons.
The keepers of these are under bonds to
push the sale of non -intoxicants, such
as tea and coffee, but are permitted to
make no profit on sales of strong liquors,
the prices of which are fixed by the gov
eminent, which furnishes the stock as
the French government does that of the
French tobacco shops. Under this sys-
tenn the saloons have been reduced to
twenty in number, IN a population of
over eighty thousand. This condition
of the traffic, Of course, does not suit
the IS Brandy King" who has adopted
a clever expedient to meet 1t, which is
the establishment of cooperative shops,
societies and building clubs, the mem
bers of which he instructs TO ''boycott"
the city's taverns. He has succeeded in
getting 5000 men on his side of the
contention, and by their aid he proposes
If possible, to break down the Stock
holm and Gothenburg system. That
system is, that habits of drunkenness
may be more easily suppressed by max
ing liquor costly, but yet allowing 1t to
to remain within legal reach of drink
ers under such restraints as are provid-
ed by the authorities. This novel con-
tention will be watched with interest in
other cities.
