Sentences I'm Liquor Cases.
PENALTIES IMPOSED IN THE CRIMINAL COURT To

In the Criminal Court to-day, Mr.. Padgett
moved for sentence In the case OF Henry Rupertus,
convicted OF selling liquor to minors. Mr.. Wells
said Rupertus was one Of the few who had never
been called into court and that the liquor was sold
without his authority. The court said the statute
was curious one fixing the penalty at from $50 to
be many times $40. II clerk has not more re-
spect than to sell liquor TO a child he ought to be
dealt with severely. He imposed a sentence OF
$40, remark1ng that he had doubts as to the mat
ter OF costs. On Inquiry 1t was found that the
costs would be s. each for clerk, witnesses and at
torney, and the court then MADE the fine $25 and

HARRISON AND THE CIVIL SERVICE.

General Harrison has not made loud pro-
fessions OF devotion to civil service reform
as his predecessor did, but he may be ex-
pected to adhere more closely to civil service
reform principles. 1t Is probably too much
70 nope that ne should displace no purely
Democrat, but we hope that such removals
OF officers who have given satisfactory SER
vice will be few and In the higher grades
only. Many men incompetent or Of bad
character have been appointed In the postal
or other departments Of the public service
removed for the good of the service, not
because they are Democrats or because the

The varieties of American itizens created
by our liberal naturalization laws may be
understood from the details Of the work iof
education done by the National Republican
committee in the recent election. During the
campaign the committee issued thlrty-two
million documents. translating some of them
into thirty different languages. 1t is said
also that orators were provided to speak in
nearly every one Of these languages, and in
addition many newspapers printed in these
foreign languages were run through the cam
paign. Another interesting feature of the
committees work, though it has no bearing
on the question Of naturalization, was the
provision for the instruction of the blind
voters. There are thirty-two hundred blind
voters In New York city. enough to carry the
State of New York one way or another in a
close year. For them the reading material
was printed in raised letters, and the thirty
two hundred blind men of New York were
soon happy lingering out tariff arguments
and dissertations on high license and the
sins Of the Democrats.
