EASTERN LIQUOR MEN PLEASED.
How the Dealers Regard the Recent Action
of the Treasury Department..
Philadelphia Press.


Liquor dealers in Philadelphia say they are
satisfied with Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury
Coons latest decision refusing to extend the
bonded period for whisky which was to be shipped
abroad. They regard the decision as strictly
legal, and say that it gives evidence of the inten
ton Of the department to enforce the law to the
letter. The case which called out the opinion
was one of a number which have been reappear-
whisky bill in Congress- The petitioner had
held his liquor in bond during the full time al
lowed; had exhausted most of the seven months
given for transportation and other possible de-
lays before shipment abroad, and still had his
liquor in some place between Kentucky and New
York, where he thought it would take seven
months more in order to get it fully delivered on
board vessel Assistant Secretary Coon ar
gued that he had been given fair warning once
and plenty OF time to make the transfer and
that there was no legal warrant for giving furth-
er privileges at the expense Of the government
Inc liquor men here We're particularly pleased
with the decision, because it drew the line on a
class of manufacturers who, for a number of
years, have got themselves into trouble by over
production and then tried to get government aid
to save themselves from bankruptcy In the
cases where Congress did give them help thew
went on manufacturing, instead Of getting rid of
their stocks, and in short time were in a worse
shape financially, than before. Another extern
sion, such as that asked for in the famous Ken
lucky whisky bill before the Forty-eighth
Congress, Eastern dealers say, would have been
followed by like results, and the conclusion of
the whole matter would have been that stocks,
increased by every attempt at legal aid would
have been dumped on the market at last, and

right kind of man for the office he holds. If

In America it is customary for the young man
who wishes to marry young woman living at a
distance from him to 60 to that girls home. be
it across the continent, when the wedding cere-
mony is to be performed. The exceptions to
this rule among people of good standing in So
ciety are rare, and only occur where the best of
reasons are apparent why the lady should 60
from her home at her intended husbands call to
marry him. AS general thing, young girl
would resent proposition Of the kind as an
infringement on the proprieties Of life and the
lover who wishes to stand we'll in the eyes of his
future wife's relatives seldom thinks of VARYING
the customary procedure, though to do so
might be great saving aud convenience The
young American girl who marries
foreigner, especially if he be a
titled foreigner, ceases, however, to exact this
tribute to her dignity, if one may Judge by
the reports of marriages which occur abroad.
Almost weekly the cable dispatches chronicle a
brilliant wedding in some foreign city or other
between Sir Somebody, or Lord Or Count This,
That or the Other, and an American girl. bean
tiful and, of course, wealthy, at least. in the
dispatches. Why she should omit the usual re-
qurement and consent to be married at her
husbands home is not clear unless it be true
as declared by the cynical, that the American
girl who captures a foreign husband is too hum
bly, grateful to insist upon anything disagreeable
to his lordship. Whatever may be the reason
for their course, there is no doubt that a little
greater show of dignity would make these young
women appear to far better advantage in the
eyes of their country people.

THE attitude of the Council toward the
telephone company, as indicated by the spirit
| of the ordinance now pending, cannot be
maintained, and the provisions of that ordi-
nance cannot be enforced with the hope Of
enlisting the support of any considerable
number of citizens and tax payers. It is too
sweeping in its conclusions, too summary in
its action. The destruction Of property whole
sale by enactment will not meet with favor.
Atworst, the company that enjoys the monopoly
Of the telephone business of this city proposes
to avoid the provisions Of State law. In
this it is not acting strictly as it should, nor
in the way that aw-abiding individual or
corporation can justify. The apology that
the company offers is that it cannot afford to
comply with the law, for the reason that the
expense attending the service is so 6. at that
pecuniary loss would follow a strict compli-
ance with the law This may or may not be
true; but even granting that it is not true, it
will not do for the Council to lose its head and
like the one now before it, which
provides that the telephone company
shall remove its poles and wires from the
streets of the city of Indianapolis within
twenty days after the passage of the ordi-
nance, and, in case the wires and poles be not
removed within that time, the city civil en-
gineer is instructed to do the same without
delay. 1t is hardly possible that such incon-
siderate action will be taken. The telephone
company has invested probably $50, 900 in
this city, and it is not denied that up to this
time it has rendered general satisfaction to
its patrons. Practically, it is an Indianapolis
enterprise, on the same footing with the street
railways. IF it is now acting contrary to the
law, let the law settle the matter. There is no
occasion for retaliation and destruction. The
street railway company does pretty much as
it chooses, yet no ordinance has been passed
to tear up the tracks and demolish stables and
cars The saloons for years have systematic
ally violated every law passed to regulate
them, but the Council has never seen fit to
pass ordinances demolishing saloon fixtures. A
hot head or two in the Council can do deal of
harm if their advice be followed. The pass
age of a city law like the one contemplated
would be very unwise piece of legislation,
and it is reasonably certain that public senti
ment would not sustain it. There is no occa-
be little slow..in graphing with this question,
but it is best to await its decision.

THE whirligig of time brings Gen. Wade
Hampton on top, who modestly lays claim to
the honor of having saved the day on the
occasion of the first battle of Bull Run, so
disastrous to the Union forces. 1t is too bad
that General Hampton did not have some
friend make the claim for him, but now that
he has made it, and furnished plans and
specifications in support Of his claim, it is the
manifest duty of the administration to see to
it that this gallant man is properly honored.
Let the data be collected and his glory per-
petuated. This people cannot do too much
for the soldier who saved the day at the
first Bull Run. The sententous utterance of
the Charleston News and Courier is worthy Of
