Most people outside the dry counties,
and in some OF them for that matter, have
long known that much of the beer drank
in the country is not lager, but bogus
beer, and that very large proportion
OF the pure rye whisky sold is not
whisky at all, but manufactured or ''rec-
titled" stuff that Is as unwholesome as
it is fraudulent.
In some sections OF the country the
consumption Of wine has been increasing,
and the sale OF pure domestic wine is
generally tolerated if not encouraged
even by the prohibltionists. The truth is
that good wine is very wholesome. ST.
Paul. il will he remem bered. cOunseled
Timothy to drink no more water (exclu-
syely he doubtless meant), but to take a
little wine for his stomach's sake and his
often innrmitics.
1t is stated on what appears to he good
authority that vast quantities of vile COM
pounds are being sold in the country as
pure California wines. IL is said that
there are several large establishments in
New York alone devoted to the manuiac-
ture OF bogus wines. These wines are
sold as low as 80 cents gallon, with a
liberal discount for cash. The wine is
said to be made of stale grapes and raj
sins, together with sugar, water, acids
aud other ingredients that are cheap and
plentiful in all large cities. All brands
are initiated and the cost to the manutac-
turers is said to be from 10 to II cents per
gallon.
These wines, like initiation beer and
doctored whistles. are objected 70 not only
because they are the means OF defrauding
those who purchase them, but because
they are unwholesome and therefore In
furious. IL Is strange that while the laws
OF every state and of the general govern
ment restrict and regulate the legitimate
manufacture OF beer and liquors, very
little effort has been made anywhere to
protect the people against the spurious
articles.

The centennial celebration of the Lib
erty Independent Troop, "A body OF volun-
ieer soldiers whose history begins with
that OF the American Union be-
gins to-day. 1t is appropriate that
their hundreth anniversary should
be the occasion of rejoicing on the
part OF the citizens Of a county, the very
name of which was given it in testimony
Of the patriotism gifts sons. 1T is also
appropriate that Savannah should be well
represented, as she will be, at the cele-
bration. and that her citizen soldiers
should join with those OF Liberty in keep
ing fresh in the minds of the people the
glorious events which are so closely as
ISOLATED with the founding of the repub-
lie.
The gallant Independent Troop which
inaugurate their centennial to-day are a
representative body of Liberty's patriotic
sons. The details of their celebration
VIII be matters of deep interest not only
to the people OF Liberty county but also
TO Liberty's sons who are to be found in
every county in the state, and, perhaps,
in about every State in the Union. Lib
erty county has many distinguished sons
in all parts Of the country, and very many
who, though they may not be distinguish
ed, are doing their part IN life well, and
are displaying the strength of character,
integrity Of purpose and high apprecia-
ton of the responsibilities which rests
upon them in their respective positions
which make them honored and respected
citizens.
The accounts OF this celebration, which
begins to-day, and which by mail and tele-
graph will reach every part Of the coun-
try, will recall the sweet, sunny pine lands
of The coast counties of Georgia to many a
son OF Liberty who has wandered far from
his old home, and is seeking his fortune
amid other scenes and among a strange
people.
Liberty has the good wishes OF Chatham
for successful celebration.

The duel between Gen. Boulanger and
Baron de Lareinty resulted, as most
French duels result, in harm to no one.
1t is a question whether it would not be
far more creditable to the principals in
these affairs to announce beforehand that
they do not intend to hurt each other
They would then relieve themselves of the
suspicion of trying to deceive the public.
The French are courteous and brave
There are no drawer people in the world.
They have proved their courage too often,
and on too many battle fields, to admit Of
a doubt about it. Why the duel,
therefore, should continue to flourish
in France is one of the things that is not
so easily understood, If Frenchman
wanted to kill the man who insults him
there would be some reason in demanding
a chance to shoot at him, or to run him
through with sword, but he doesn't ap-
pear to want to do that. All he wants to
do is to prove that he is man of courage.
AS nobody, as a rule, thinks that he isn't
what is the use of the duel?
Baron de Lareinty declared in speech
that something that Gen. Boulanger said
was cowaTdly, and Gen. BOulanger chal-
lenged the Baron, and permitted the Baron
to shoot at him. This he did TO prove that
he isn't a coward. He did not even re-
turn the BarOn's shot. The public never
had any doubt of Gen. Boulanger's cour-
age, and confidence in it now IS not greater
than it was before the duel.
But what did the duel settler Nothing,
absolutely nothing. Baron de Lareinty
stated that Gen. Boulanger acted COW.
ardly in attacking the banished Princes
because they were absent. Did the duel
prove that the Baron spoke falsely? II
proved nothing respecting the Baron's
statement.
If Gen. Boulanger made a mistake in
attacking the Princes he would have
shown more true courage by correcting il
in a straightforward, manly fashion than
by engaging in duel, and if he made no
mistake true courage required him to
stand by what he said. The public would
have supported him in that course. A
man may have plenty of physical courage
| and lack moral courage. There are men
who can face death but not truth, but
those who can face truth can generally
face death.

A Shipload of Terrapin Stewed at One
Time for Boston Use.
From a Baltimore Letter.

From a Baltimore Letter.
A man here started terrapln farm down
the bay and raised great many thousands.
One season they were very scarce and COM
manded tremendous prices, so he sent down
an IRON steamer to be loaded. She came back
with 10000 terrapin, but when the process of
removal was attempted 1t was seen that they
had had a grand rough and tumble fight and
were locked. head and tail, In one solid mass
They tried crowbars and failed. Persuasion
likewise was of no avail, and scientists
averred that while powerful blast of dyna-
mite might dslodge few, 1t would not i'm
prove their flavor and advised his selling the

chaser remove them.
verlised his terrapins for a week, but got no
lids he thought of accepting. Finally a Bes-
ton man telegraphed that he would take the
lot at regular market rates, provided the
owner would lend him the iron steamer that
held them. This was gladly assented to. and
when the Boston man would try TO get the
terrapin apart.
The old skin1int received his money, and
signed the lease of the vessel. The Boston
man had her drawn up on the dry dock,
cargo and all. Then he had a FIRE engine
come down and pump her half full of water,
and added two hogsheads OF salt. Huge iron
clsterns were then filed with alcohol, with
bale OF cotton in each, showed under the Keel
and lighted. In vain the miser danced and
swpre and begged OF his contraCt-the Bos-
ton man said he had bought the terrapin and
leased the vessel, all at regular rates, and
couldn't get them apart, but that he wasn't

Almost Lynched Though Innocent

Almost Lynched Though Innocent.
Attention has frequently been called to
the danger OF innocent persons falling
victims to the misdrected indignation OF
the pOpulace in cases of summary eXecu-
tons. Circumstances frequently seem to
point to persons as being guilty OF terri
bic crimes, when only the most patient
investigation and the coolest judgment
can determine the question Of guilt or in-
rocence. Men who are excited and in
dignant at the commission OF crime are
not the proper persons to be the judges
and eXecutioneFs.
Some two years ago a man accused of
shocking assault was lynched at Jack
sonville, ILL.,, circumstances pointing to
him as the guilty party. The other day
the real culprit died, cOnfesslng the deed
and eXculpating the victim that had been
murdered by his well-meaning neighbors
in their unlawful and almost insane zeal
to punish crime.
A case occurred in Texas the other day
that should impress the above truths on
the minds of the people all over the coun-
try. A worthy old citizen OF Collin was
found in a dying condition, and circum-
stances indicated that he was the victim
Of brutal murder. He made a dying
declaration in which he accused a neigh
Dor of having assaulted him. Public
opinion was excited and the people were
terribly aroused, and several times mob
was on the eve of lynchiUg
the accused. He was arrested, and
fortunately wise counsels at length pre-
vailed, and the law was allowed TO take
its course. The accused was held at the
Coroner's inquest, and 1t seemed for
awhile that there would be no trouble to
fasten the guilt on him. Finally evidence
was obtained which showed beyond ques-
ton that the prisoner could not have done
the deed, and that the deceased had COM
mitted suicide. 1t was only in the deliri-
UNI OF the dying agony that the victim
conceived the idea that the accused had
assaulted him.
Scarcely day passes in which there Is
not lynchIng in some part of the cOun-
try. People have got to resOrting to lynch
law even in cases of theft and common
assault. 1t is time to call halt in the
matter. Good citizens should be law
abiding, and they should see to 1t that the
law is enforced in lawful manner. There
is hardly room to doubt that many inno-
cent people are lynched every year and
that very frequently what is called mob
justice is only mob murder.

Letthe government subsidize lines of steam
ers TO south America, say the protectionists
ana the Republicans, and the United States
can successfully compete with free trade Eng
land IN South American markets.
- Ana yet, say these same protectionists and
Republicans, the United States are unable to
compete with free trade England in our own
markets. consequently we must protect our
selves against such competition by high tar

IN short, say these agile logicians, we can

The Disaster to the Gate City.

There appears to be no doubt that the
disaster with which the steamship Gate
City, OF the Boston and Savannah line,
met on Sunday evening, a full account of
which appears in our dispatches this
morning, was purely accidental. No
blame appears to he attached to the Off
GERS by any body. The vessel was running
very slowly in a thick fog. Every pre-
caution seems to have been taken 10 avoid
accidents. The officers were at their posts
ready for any emergency.
1t is gratifying that no lives were lost.
There was no panic when the vessel
struck, and there was no especial reason
why there should have been.
This makes the second vessel OF the
Boston and Savannah line which has gone
ashore on the Massachusetts, coast in a
comparatively short time. The CITY Of
Columbus disaster will not soon be for
gotten. In the case Of that vessel. which
proved to be total loss, a certain amount
OF carelessness was charged. The charge
was no. so clearly established as to en-
tirely satisfy the authorities who investi-
gated the disaster, but the Captain was
deprived of his license.
The Gate City disaster could not have
been very well avoided unless the vessel
had been stopped aud anchored until the
fog lifted. That, however, is not the usual
course pursued. 1t is considered reason.
ably safe to run steamers slowly in a toy,
provided they are not close to a port
where the danger OF collision is great.
