plays that good old game, largely in

''bluf," with admirable effect. We are
now veuchsafed the information that the
election held Tuesday of last week was
neither a general nor special election
and hence no election at all-and that
all the saloons could have been open
on that occasion and enjoyed entire i'm
munity from the law. Verify, thy name
is wisdom and when thou speakest, it
is law ?-or proyision-or an amend
ment. Have we Daniel come to judg-
ment, or hath much learning made thee
mad, or hath the invidious wet grocer
les disarranged ? But, nevertheless, the
Judge offers $500 to anyone who will
prosecute the matter to ascertain wheth-
er the saloon had a right to be open on
the evening of the village election Or not.
