SMELL THEM OUT.

1t is announced that the prchibitory
enactment for South Dakota will throw
the jron-clad one in North Dakota into
the shade. 1t is to have argus eyes con-
stantly on the druggists, and the ways
to private clubs are to be beset with
greater dangers than BUNYAN'S pill
grim ever dreamed Of 1t has been the
aim to provide all the restraints and
barriers that legal acumen can invent,
and there seems to be an invitation to
observers to suggest points that will
further hedge the prone citizen from his
great beSetment. This peculiar Grim
inality eXhales evidence of its iniquity.
Some little tire before the warsa re-
form party carried Massachusetts, and
its most notorious exploit was the APP
pointment of what was commonly desig-
mated smelling commission" just
what It's special mission was is
not now recalled, but it be-
came somewhat pungent in the
public nostril, and the party did
not carry the state again. These
statute makers in the arid states seem
to have overlooked this most effective
lhCehS vi uClSCJiHS tnlS IuliOuS CaldLil-
ity. Nature has furnished them an
agency that is quick and well nigh in
fallible. The poet has said that, disguise
it as one may with disinfectantS and
observation-disclosures, the scent of liquor
will be there still. Every community
should have official experts to smell the
breath of all suspected parties, and
they cOuld he imDriSOnpd until they
would testify against the party who
furnished the perfume. The evidence
of the smeller alone should be sufficient
for conviction. This would be the most
effective method of ferreting out the
guilty. In Russia the suspects are often
killed or sent to Siberia. Complete pre-
hibiti0n is not likely to be secured
without infusing into the penal
regimen something of the Russian
spirit.

ANOTHER VICTIM.

Judge KELLEY came into the house in
1860, and has been there continuously
for the thirty years since. He repre-
scented extreme views OH the tariff ques-
ton, and has been very Influential
factor in keeping the Republicans closet
up to his standard. His death will re-
move conspicuous and very important
figure in the house. The special inter-
ests he represented have exhibited sa-
gacity in keeping him constantly in
service. His personal integrity has
never been in question. and he affords a
good type of the public man aside from
the partial character of his legislative
aims. His death was Immediately due,
probably, to the excessive use Of to-
baceo, causing the cancer in the jaw.
He remarked. not long before his death,
that for twenty years he had never re-
tired at night without piece of to-
bacco in his mouth. He adds one to the
monihons on that subject furnished by
notable men.

dies hats or bonnets would pay but 20
per cent, whether silk CIR cotton. The
treasury department ruled that all
silk ribbons must pay the SO
per cent. Mr., WANAMAKER and the
other importers of ribbons protested
that they ought not to pay that 80 per
cent on the ribbons that went into
the head trimmings. The aggregate
amounted to about S6,000,O00, some
S2,000,000 coming from WANAMAKER.
The court now decides that the treas
ury must refund. 1t is rare occurrence
that even those who incarnate all
known virtues take in 81, 100000 as a
net transaction. When Mr.. WANA-
MAKER attached these silk ribbons to
the hats of the ladies, he added the full
80 per cent duty, of course. He saga.
ciously paid the duty, and looked to the
courts of the country for his reward.
His faith is indicated, and he is en-
riched by millions. His customers were
charged with the duty, and the govern
ment now doubles the amount. If a
question of ethics OF equity arises in re-
gard to the double payment. he can re-
lieve all scruples by still larger cam
paign contribution, which the QUAY
and DUDLEY philanthropists will prop
erly disburse. He knows that good men
have their rewards.

SAVED FROM DROWNING.
Rescue of the Crew of the Aban-
doned Shakespeare.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The steamship
Stag, which arrived this morning from
Bremen and Shields. brought all the
crew of the wrecked ship Shakespeare,
with the exception of the captain, who
died before the rescue, and was buried
at sea. The Shakespeare sailed from.
Hamburg for this port about three
months ago, and was not heard from
until Dec. is. when she was sighted by
the steamship HISTORIAN, from Glasgow
to Philadelphia. The Shakespeare was
then in very bad shape, and the crew
were huddled together in the bows to
escape the wafer which at intervals
swept over the decks. The NesterIan
attempted to take off the men, but as
the weather was stormy, was unable to
do so, and the wrecked vessel was lost
sight of during the night. On the
22d of December the steamship
Sardian sighted the Shakespeare and
then no trace of any life on board could
be discovered. This report seemed to
settle all doubt that the crew would
ever be heard from again. Capt. Mon
roe, of the Stag, on his arrival this
morning told the following story: 1--WE
left Bremen OH Dec. Z, and experienced
rough weather until the 21St. when the
wind blew perfect hurricane. At
midnight of that day we sighted rockets
and flare-lightS ahead, We steered in
the direction of the danger signals, and
about 9 in the morning the man on the
lookout reported the hull of vessel.
Although there was tremendous sea
running. we ran as close to the vessel
as we could. and found her to be the
Shakespeare. All hex masts were gone
and the crew huddled on the deck,
dashed to the parts of the bulWark that
were left standing. At 9 o'clock in
the afternoon we got line on board
the wreck, but it snapped almost
as soon as it was secured. | then sig
nailed the Shakespeare we would stand
by them until morning. About 9 the
next morning my second officer, Mr..
Noble, and four Seamen succeeded i'll
lowering boat and a line was secured
on board the Shakespeare. and we then
began the work of transferring the un-
fortunate Seamen. There were eighteen
in all, Capt. Mullen having died from
exposure. All the men were in very
bad condition. most of them being COW
cred with sea boils, and some with
broken arms. The rescued men, when
brought on board the Stag, were made
as comfortable as possible. All of them
at first were unable to stand, and though
now they are in a comparatively good
condition, several of them had narrow
escape from death. The Stag herself
had very rough voyage, having taken
thirty-one days on av yage she usually
does in sixteen.
New YORK, Jan. lO-The steamship
Aline arrived to-day with part of the
crew OF the American schooner Lacka-
wanna, which was totally wrecked at
Jeremie. Dec. %. The schooner was
thrown upon the reef by an incompe-
tent pilot. When the vessel had gone
to pieces number of beach idlers
cl aimed salvage. Capt. Ford, of the
Lackawanna, is still at Jeremie seeking
redress.

SCHOOLS FREE TO ALL.
Colored Illinoisans Raise a Rum
pus at Alton.

ALTON, ILL.,, Jan. 1O.-Trouble over
the admission of colored people to
public schools in the white dis
trlctS has broken out afresh.
This question has Eean up two or
three times, and the courts decided once
that the cOlored children were entitled,
under organic law, to attend the same
schools as the whites. Strong opposi
ton developed, however. and as a grea
mass OF colored people in upper Alton
live III one district, school build
ing was set apart for their
use, the school board redistricting the
town to meet the emergency. This,
however, did not long satisfy the ne
groes, who have been threatening that
they would force their way into the high
school building; and with that end in
view recently Instituted mandamus pro-
ceedlngs to compel the board to redis-
trlct the town on more equable basis
PENDING decision few negro families
moved into the high school district and
yesterday eight or ten colored children,
accompanied by their parents. applied
for admission. The superintendent as
signed them to rooms IN the lower
grades. They were not, however, as
signed by teachers. At the forenoon
recess the cOlored children were driven
off the grounds by the whites and
did not return during the day. At the
hour Of opening school to-day, however,
they, accompanied by their parents,
marched to the high school building
and demanded admittance. A body of
white citizens who had assembled re-
sisted their demand, and the city
marshal, on searching several of the
negroes, found revolvers and other
weapons in their possession. Many
OF the whites were also found armed,
but hoStilities were prevented by the
Judicious action of the authorities. At
a meeting this afternoon, the school
board resolved to dismiss the colored
people in the ''colored district and
substitute a mixed school in its place.
Action was taken on the estab-
lishment of boundary lines which
will admit some of the blacks to the
high school building. This is a victory
for the blacks, and q good deal of bitter
ness is expressed. The whites threaten
to desert the schools and default on
their school taxes.
