JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec, 20. Gen.
F. E. Spinner, ex-treasurer of the
United States, is comfortable, but his
life is gradually ebbing away. Satur-
day he sustained sinking spell, and 1t
was thought that he could not rally,
but with his brave spirit he did. Hum
dreds at his age, Ss, would have gone
under with such paroxysms. The can
GER on his face, which is sapping away
his vitality, has eaten a deep hole near
the eye and nose, and the pulsation Of
the brain can plainly be seen through
it. He is most of the time in dull
stupor and sleeps, When awake he Is
rational, and recognizes familiar voices.

the priests eager to regain the power
Parnell secured for Ireland ten years
ago; they sanctioned methods of war
fare hitherto unused, and soon fighting
was supplanted by secret intimidation.
But, although this combination secured
victory in Kilkenny, it must be re-
membered that Kilkenny is not Ire

Crushed the Nominee.

From the San Francesca News Letter
 As about eight out of ten men one meets nowadays are up for the legislature, county sheriff or something,it is not surprising that a large proportion of these politicians are of the self-made variety that could not deliver an intelligible speech if they were to be hung. The result is that the hard up penny-a-iners are turning an honest pen ny by supplying these tongue tied states men with ready made campaign thunder. The other night there was an enthusiastic primary meeting at Petaluma, during which an aspirant for county clerk was in troduced. The gentleman laid volumin- ously written speech on the desk and start ed in. He had only gotten as far as Eel low citizens" when a hungry looking par ty in a -before-last shirt, and whose whole appearance denoted destitution and journalism, stood up in the front row and whispered:
 aHow about that little amountE' The orator coughed, colored, looked fix edly at the gallery, and strove to contin- ue.
 q say.n continued the interrupter more loudly, 'syou know what told you-cash down or no sale"
 sTIl-Tn see you in the morning, ''gasp. ed the mortified politician. Morning don't go," replied the creditor doggedly. "You can't play the morning dodge on me; I'm dead on to you fellows, am. You've got to put u,N or shut up. Pungle out that Sl2 right here, pr nary an orate."
 sT haven't got that amount with me, ' murmured the distinguished speaker, fun. bling in his clothes. 'sJust-just sit down, and I'll see you later"
 sIater be blowed," growled the pencil l parer, and reaching up he transferred tho manuscript to his coat tail pocket and walked out. The crushed nominee took { back seat on the platform and wept hk, a child, while the band filled in its time by squelching out, Listen to the Mockinl | Bird,n with variations.

NOT AN TNHERENT RIGHT.

An interesting and important question has been answered through the efforts of Henry Christensen, who ran a retail liquor store in San Francisco. Last year the police commissioners of the city, in the ex- ercise of discretion vested in them by 8 municipal ordinance, refused to renew his license. He went right on selling whisky, was arrested, got his case into the federal circuit court by means of writ of habeas corpus, and was liberated, the judges hold ing that the municipal ordinance, inas- much as it made a citizens right to carry on business dependent on the arbitary will of other persons, denied him the equal protection of the laws, and so was uncon- stitutional. An appeal was promptly taken to the Supreme court at Washing ton, and the decision there is against the defendant. The opinion says: By the general concurrence of opinion of every civilized and Christian community there are few sources of crime and misery to society equal to the dram shop, where intoxicating liquors in small quantities to be drunk at the time are sold indiscriminately to all parties applying. The statistics of every State show a greater | amount of crime attributable to this than | to any other source The sale of such liquors in this way has therefore been at all times considered the proper subject of legislative regulation. For that matter their sale by the glass may be absolutely | prohibited. It is question of public ex- | pediency and public morality and not of federal law. There is no inherent right of a citizen to sell intoxicating liquors by re- tail; it is not privilege of citizen of the State, or of a citizen of the United States. In the prohibition or regulation of the traffic discretion may be vested in officer. to decide to whom to grant, and to whom to refuse liquor licenses. The officers may not always exercise the power conferred upon them with wisdom or justice to the parties affected. But that is @ matter
 which does not affect the auth ority of the State.
 Mr. Christensen has done the country (
 valuable service by being obstinate in thii l matter
