The Whisky PeddIing Evil.

In the coast sections of Georgia and
South Carolina, and in the turpentine and
timber regions Of both States, there Is an
extensive ana increasing trade in unli-
censed whisky. The vile stuff, which, in
many cases, is only a compound of MUIR
der-breeding drugs, is sold by white and
negro peddlers, who travel on foot along
the roads and bridle-paths and in boats
along the creeks and rivers from planta.
tion to plantation, and from one turpen-
tine farm to another. This condition of
affairs is, OF course, more prevalentWhere
prohibition has been adopted thandwhere
dram-shops are still licensed, The laws
which these peddlers violate should be
strictly enforced. They are no better
than robbers and should be shown no
mercy. They take the money Of iaborers
and virtually give them poison in return.
They have not even the excuse that they
sell good article.
In South Carolina the State pro-
hibits the sale of intoxicating liquor out
side of incorporated towns and cities.
The law is dead letter in the coast coun-
ties, especially Beaufort county. Whis-
ky is sold openly at nearly every road
side or plantation store without fear of
the law. Unless it is proposed to bring
prohibition into disrepute, prohibition
laws must he enforced in accordance
with their spirit and letter. 1t is useless
TO expect that prohibition will accom-
pish good unless it is made effective.
Whisky Will be sold, if no one inter-
feres to prevent its sale, Notwithstanding
the prohibitory laws.
1t is clear that if there is no intention of
enforcing laws against the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors they should be repealed. 1t
is better to have license system, and
honest liquor dealers who sell good ar
ticle, than swarm OF whisky peddlers
who sell stuff that is little, if any, better
than poison.
The courts seem disposed to deal lem
iently with these peddlers. When Judges
and District Attorneys, however, are
made fully aware Of the evil that they do
it is probable that the sentences of those
convicted will not be so light as they are
now.
The defense which these peddlers make,
that the ofrense of selling glass OF
whisky now and then from a jug which
they carry from one plantation to another,
is so insignificant that IT is hardly worth
the attention Of courts, lie generally eff Ct
i've. Judges don't like to have their time
taken up with small matters. They don't
seem to realize that although the selling
Of a drink OF whisky is a small affair in
itself, the whisky peddlng business in
the aggregate is great and growing evil.
Let us have the prohibitory laws either
enforced or repealed.

The Presidents Independence

The people cannot help but admire the
President for his sturdy independence,
his devotion to the interest Of the country,
and his readiness to sacrifice his popu-
larity with party leaders in order to dis
charge his duties in accordance with his
judgment of what is right.
A few days ago he vetoed a couple of
pension bills. The people, without re-
gard to party, applauded the veto, be-
cause they recognize the fact that the
wholes ale granting of pensions is a great
and growing evil, and that there is not
courage enough in Congress to check it.
A few weeks ago bill was passed
making Omaha port of entry, and later
asimllar bill relative to Springfield. Mass,
was passed. Members OF both political
parties favored these bills and were anxi-
Gus for the President to sign them. He
vetoed them because they increased the
expenses OF the government without con-
ferring any benefits upon any consider
able number Of people. They simply
made places for a few politicians.
The House passed bill this week es-
tabllshing a sub-Treasury at Louisville,
Nv. There is no need for sub-Treasury
there. There are more sub-rreasuries in
the country now than there is any use
for. II the bill authorizing a sub-Treas-
ury at Louisville passes the Senate the
President will still further gain the good
Will of the people by vetoing it. Repre-
sentative Willis mad it passed, doubtless,
in order 10 reward some OF mis- henchmen.
Let Con gressmen be taught that they are
not TO use the power of Congress 60 draw
rewards out OF the Treasury for hencn-
men. The President need not expect TO
be popular with tue politicians II he does
not layor their selfish and corrupt
schemes, but he can rest assured that he
Will be popular with the people as long
as he shows disposition to protect their
interests.

A Primary ELECTION DECISION.


Pennsylvania is one of the few States
in which primary elections held in max
ing party nominations have been regu-
lated by statutory enactment. OF course
there was large proportion OF the law
yers Of that State who believed the law
unconstitutional. There are few good
laws that have not been objected to as be-
ing unconstitutional. The Pennsylvania
law has been tested, and Monday the SUI
preme Court rendered a decision sustain
ing it on the broad principle that any
legislation not prohibited by the constitu-
ton is allowable and valid.
The case came up on a writ Of quo war
rantO against one of the Commissioners
OF Schuylkill county at the instance Of
the Attorney General requiring the re-
spondent to show by what authority he
held his Office. 1t was shown on the trial
Of the writ that the Commissioner had
promised large number Of delegates to
the nominating convention positions in
case he received the nomination. He prom.
ised more places than he had at his dis
posal, the disappointed aspirants let
the secret OF their support leak out and
the suit TO GUST the Commissioner on the
ground of bribery was the result The
court rendered a decision adverse to the
Commissioner, and a writ was issued
oustlng him from the office. The appeal
to the Supreme Court resulted as above
noted, the only real ground for defense
being the claim that the law was uncon-
stitutional.
The decision is an important one, not
only as regards States in which primary
elections are regulated and protected by
law, but in those In which no such law
exists. The establishing Of the principal
that fraud or bribery in obtaining a nomi-
nation will render the election of a candi-
date void, just as fraud or bribery will in
popular election, cannot but be regarded
by all right thinking men as an important
step in the direction of progress. 1t
directly tends to preserve the purity OF
parties, and 10 make them in their turn
see that the purity of the general ballot
box is maintained.
Bribery, intimidation and swindIing are
morally just as wrong when resorted to in
party nominations as in other elections,
and they should be made Just as criminal
by law. If questionable methods are adj
mitted in nominations, whether these
nominations be made by primary cleo
tions, mass meetings or conventions, such
methods cannot be prevented in general
elections. 1t is generally admitted that
parties are essential to the well-being OF
all governments. Parties should repre-
sent principles and lines of policy, and
not be banding together of corrupt and
INSCRIPTIONS men to secure the spoils of
office. On the purity of these parties the
safety Of the republic and the preserva-
ton Of liberty depends.

It seems that the summary removal of
DR.. McGillicuddy, of the Pine Ridge
Dak.) Indian Agency. vas not the result
directly OF the almost innumerab'e
charges that have been made against him
by Red Cloud and other Big Indians and
by various white men, but on account Of
his characterization in refusing 10 obey
oroers from the Interior Department. II
seems that the Doctor peremptorily de-
clined TO receive the clerk assigned to him
under the new rule and acquiesce in the
dism ssal Of his old clerk. The agents do
not like 10 have clerks not OF their own
selection and II is more than likely they
consider those appointed by the depart
ments a. spies set upon their conduct,
who may become rivals for their lucrative
places. IL would have looked better for
McGillicuddy II he had resigned instead
Of proYoking removal. but he probably
wants TO pose as martyr TO the reform
measures OF the administration. II so,
the country has no objection TO letting
him pose, provided he will not make any
great noise about IL and become a nul-
sance.

A Bear Fights for ais Companion.

from me n iflqOr (Ue.) C0nl1nerc1dt
Arthur Godfrey and Fred Godfrey set out
for the woods near Milford a few days ago
with view OF trapping the cunning bear.
The traps were set and the trappers returned
home. Monday they went to the woods. hop
ing to find that thew had succeeded in secur-
ing victim. When near the trap their at
tention was arrested by black, furry form
up in the top of tree. Mr.. Bruin. for a Mr..
Bruin il was, saw the hunters and concluded
to retreat. which he did. with a scrambling
and scratching which would have made any
body but a native flee in terror The hunters
rushed for the bear, put the animal beat them
in the race and managed to effect his escape
Then there were left two bears-One with his
paw in the trap, and another who fingered
near for the sake Of company The compan-
ion of the captive bear remained to defend
him with his life. The hunters soon saw that
it would be impossible TO kill him unless 1T
was done by shooting, and so they fired and
the bear fell. He made a hard fight, however,
for he did not mean that his trapped friend
should become the prey of the hunters. The
bear in the trap also gave battle, but he was
so encountered that he could do little; he
was dispatched with an axe. Both of the
bears were over two years of age.

Little Johnny Schultze and playmate were
gathering wild flowers In the woods along
Schultze's run near Pocono, Pa, last week,
when pretty red squirrel ran M a tree and
disappeared in a hollow place in the trunk.
The boys built hi fire to force out the red
squirrel. and were surprised when, instead of
the little animal they expected to see, they
recognized the head of a big bear. Both boys
ran yelling away, and little Johnny dashed
into an old unused saw mill near by, the bears
being in full pursuit after him
After clinglng to the rafters and Yelling for
half an hour, he discovered clouds of smoke
rising In the woods on the creek, Then he
knew that ne had set the woods on fire, and
that, as the wind was blowing in the dlrec-
ton of the mill, he would either have to run
the gauntlet OF the bears or stanU a good
chance of being burned up in the mill For
tunately, however, the smoke aroused num-
Der of men working in the vicinity, and they
hurried up the creek to fight the fire. They
had to pass the mill and little Johnny hurried
out to JOIN them. They had no time to listen
to anything about bears and it was long past
midnight before they got the fire under con-
troll. Then 80 cords of valuable and scarce
bark had been burned, besides many thousand
feet of logs.
The bears have not been seen since and the
squirrel also ESCAPED.

its eye lighted upon its noble master, being
familiar with his prevailing habit previous TO
