Cardinal Gibbons Gives His Reasons fer
Opposing Prohibition.
BALTIMORE, May 2S.-Cardinal Gibbons
is an earnest advocate of high license. In
communication on the subject he says:
81 am decidedly opposed to prohibition as
means of preventing intemperance, be-
cause it does not prohibit Experience has
shown in those states where prohibition
has been tried il is not an effective means
of preventing the vice of drinking. Prohi-
bition is to be discouraged also. because it
confounds the drunkard with those who
use liquor in moderation, making out
a sin where there is no sir.
The only places where prohibition
might be strictly enforced are ckly-
settled country districts. | regard high H.
ceHse with moral sanction as the most eff
cient way of diminishing the vice. In
order TO make high license effective only a
limited number of licenses should beIissued
for each ward, and they should be given
only to persons of good reputation" The
cardinal is also in favor of a severe police
Sunday Law, prohibiting the sale of all
liquors on sunday and would
have that law rigidly enforced.

RIGHT OF DOVER.
Decision by a Wyoming Judge of Interest
to the Territories.

Decision by a Wyoming Judge of Interest
to the Territories.
LARAMIE, Wyo., May 2s.-Judge Corn
has rendered an important decision in the
district court at Kawlins, holding that Ed
munds' right of dover is void in any terri
tory except Utah. Mrs. Amanda W.
France sued for dover in all the realty
now in the hands Of assignees which for
merly belonged 10 her late husband, James
France The action was brought under
the section of the Edmunds act which pro-
vides that widow shall be endowed of a
third part of all the lands whereof her
husband may be possessed at any time
during their marriage, unless she
shall have lawfully released her
right thereto. The legislature of 1876
abolished the right of dover in Wyoming,
which before that time existed under the
common law. Ii was claimed by the attor-
neys for Mrs. France thar the EdmuDds act
revived this right in all the territories and
ren 1errd null and void the repeating stat
ute. The defendants held that the particu-
lar section of the act quoted above applied
TO Utah alone, aud they were sustained by
the court A long decision was rendered,
in which the construction of the act is care
fully analy zed by Judge Corn. This is the
nTst time that a legal decision on this Ques-
tiOn has ever been rendered.

The Case of RouIanger.

PARIS. May 2S.-In the chamber of dep
uties to-day Laguerre gave notice that he
would interpellate the government in re-
Iation to the delay in the senate in making
report in the case of Gen Boulanger.
President Meline replied that while he was
desirous of respecting the liberty of the tri-
bune. il would be impossible To allow
Laguerre TO make such an Interpolation.
The senate, he added, WAS entirely indie
pendent ia this matter. for the issue was of
judicial character. The chambers had
no right OF power TO interfere Consider
able debate and much confusion followed
and DeCassagnac finally said II the depu-
ties retained any feeling of shame, courage
or duty they would vote 20 allow Laguerre
TO proceed with his Interpolation. The
chamber, after passing a vote censuring
DeCassagnac. proceeded with the order of
the day BY vote of SJs TO 2I6.
