Judge BriyIan,'s charge to the
Grand Jury last Monday was long
and to the point. On the subject
of selling whisky without license,
he sail that the parish had voted
that no license should be issued for
tie sale OF whisky in MOrehOuse
this year, and that the only ques-
ton for the Grand Jury to consider
was whether or not any persons
had sold whisky without license.
lie said further that Il United
State license would be no protec-
ton to a person selling without
parish and State license, and that
if they find that any person has
corporation or town license, but
has no parish or State license, and
is claiming the right to sell, and is
selling whiskey under a corporation
license, that they must find q true
bill, and the question of such IL
ccnsc being protection is only a
question of defence to be raised on
trial before the petit jury. He
also said that steamboatmen had
no right to sell wliskey in the par
ish without license, nor did a
druggist have the hight to sell it
under physicians prescription
unless he is satisfied it is to be
used for medical purposes. That
when a person presents a prescrip.
ton to druggist for q pint or
quart of whlskey and gets a bottle
with the number of the prescription
on it, the druggist is not justified
in refilling the bottle whenever
prese3 ted, (unIess he is satisfied
that it is needed and TO I've used as
II mediclne) and especially so when
the bottle is presented two or three
times Il day. Morehouse Clarion.

NONE OF THE CLERKS FORGOTTEN.
A number of similar communications
were received by employees of the Land
Office. Acting Secretary jerks has trans
mitted the circulars to the Civil Service
Commission for such action as they may
deem proper. 1t is maintained by the OFF,
GERS OF the Interior Department that the
Pennsylvania State Committee have, by
directing the letters specifically to en-
plOyes to be delivered by carrie rs in the
government building, committed breach
of section u of the civil service act.
SECTION 70 READS.
This section reads as follows:
Section u. That no person shall in any
building occupied in the discharge OF Off
ciaIduties by any officer or employe of the
United States mentioned in this act, or in
any navy yard, fort or arsenal, solicit in
anV manner or receive any contribution
of money or any other thing of value for
any political purpose whatever.
CoMMITTEEMEN LIABLE.
Section II of the same act expressly for
bids such solicitations by any persOus in
the service of the United States in any
place, and it is probable that an eXamina-
ton will be made to ascertain whether
any of the members of the committee fall
within the scope of this section. The
names of 10 members of the Pennsylvania
committee are printed on the circular,
and it is said that some of them are now in
the governme mt employ.
