A Liquor Law Case Dismissed.


Judge Miller said Saturday that there has been
a wonderful development recently Of the num-
Der Of bed rooms, barber shops. cook shops
and pigs-feet saloons in which demiichns of
liquor and cases Of beer are found by the
police as u means Of evading the liquor law,
and spoke OF the many instances in
which the witnesses swear that they
don't have to pay for drinks. The case
on trial was one in which William Hauer, q
baker and storekeeper, was charged with keep
ing an unlicensed bar. Ex-Policeman Ranke
said he had drunk whisky in the place and that
he must have paid for it, although he could
not say to whom he paid the money.
1t was in evidence that the men in the bakery
were given beer to drink. One baker, who
dealt with his employer, could not say whether
he had to pay for the drinks.
Mr.. Dumont argued the case and after speak
Ing Of human nature said the turkey tracks all
pointed toward guilt .....-
Mr.. Nauck, for the defendant, said il that was
the case he would have to Judge the capacity
Of the men who work in hot rooms all night
After argument Judge Miller dismissed the
charge.

Of age, on November n, 1884, entered defend
ants service az an apprentice to the stereo-
typers business and faithfully performed his
duties under his agreement. He charges that
while in such service he was commanded by
the foreman, with the knowledge of defend
ant, TO carry heavy boxes of metal plates,
weighing 100 and $50 pounds, up one and
sometimes several flights OF stairs, and evers
that such work was beyond decedent's strength
and was not the kind Of work he had engaged
to do, but that decedent feared to disobey the
commands and in dread Of being discharged
he performed such work, which resulted in
fatal injuries and he died November IL, 1889

WILL STEP DOWN AND OUT.

Senator Quay is reported as ready to
place his resignation as Chairman of the
Republican National Committee in the
hands Of the committee If he can offer
such a refutation of the charges made
against him as will prove satisfactory to the
committee his resignation will not be ac-
cepted. Nothing is said yet about the office
Of United States Senator, to which he has
recently been elected. 1t is not supposable,
however, that a man whose record units
him for the position of Chairman of Ma
tional Committee will hold on to the much
higher office of United States Senator. 1t is
with profound regret that we admit that
the Senate is not so scrupulous in regard 20
the character of its members rs it was at
one time. There are several Senators who
are under strong suspicion of having
bought the votes that made them Senator.
There are so many under that suspicion
that charges are ignored, investigation
stitled. As body the Senate dares not let
in the light upon the record of its members.
Quay is not charged with having bought
his seat Probably his position in the party
secured nomination, and the large Re
publican majority in the Pennsylvania
Legislature secured his election. The
charge against him is that he used the
States money IN his private speculations.
From moral point OF view there is not
much difference between the offense of
which Senator Quay is charged ana that of
which several other Senators are believed
to have been guilty. There has, however,
been greater tolerance of one offense than
the other. a man who buys the votes that
make him Senator has been excused on the
II OunG of political ambition In point of
fact, however, the motive has not always
been political ambition. Men buy their
way into the Senate sometimes to advance
their private interests or the interests of
corporations with which they are con-
nected. There will be a clearance of these
men from the Senate some Of these days
1t may come with breeze, gale, or a
wbirlwind II the offenders defy public
opinion too long it will come with the whirl-

LINCOLN INDICATED.

A correspondent writes that lie cannot
remain silent while the character of Abra-
ham Lincoln is being aspersed. He then
proceeds 10 correct a statement recently
made in a weekly contemporary in refer
ence TO the construction of the Central
Pacific Railroad, TO the effect that "Presi-
dent Lincoln had removed the Sierra
Noun tains some fifteen miles west to give
the company an increased credit" With
the remark that no statement coming from
the source indicated could have the slightest
effect upon the estimation in which Abra-
ham Lincoln is held by the people Of the
United States, we allow our correspondent
To give the true facts Of the matter as fol-
lows: The law granting subsidy for the
road provided that extra payment should be
made from the base of the Sierras, per
mile, and that the President should fix the
base. Mr. Lincoln expressed soma doubt
as to his ability to perform this task and
after some consideration selected Professor
Whitney to determine the proper point
from which the base should be held to
begin. Professor Whitney was at that time
employed by the State in making n geo.
logical survey and was for that and per-
sDnal reasons an eminently itman to do the
work. The point selected by him was
adopted by the President as the geological
base where the Sierra Nevada Mountains
commence TO rise. To say nothing of the
fact that the report of Professor Whitney
relieved President Lincoln from personal
responsibility in the matter, it has not yet
been demonstrated that Professor Whitney
was in error in fixing the starting point"

FICTION DECLINING.

The reports of Librarians in several of the
Eastern cities agree that the proportion of
the circulation of works Of fiction is declin-
ing. The Providence Librarian gives it
at iifty-six one-hundredths of the whole.
The Boston Public Library shows about the
same proportion. The fact IS rather graft
flying than otherwise. Fiction has its place
in libraries, but In recent years it has at
tracted an undue share of readers. Young
people have read novels to the exclusion of
almost every other description OF reading.
The. reading of novels and romances has
been advocated on the ground that taste
for reaoing was thus created which in time
would crave more nourishing food. Prob
ably not one novel in ten serves other pur-
pose than to direct unframed minds TO the
habit of reading something. Young peo-
pie read newspapers now more than at any
former period. The pupils in our public
schools upon reaching the middle grades
devote half-hour each morning. to the
paper, partly from interest and partly to be
informed when they meet their classmates
OF the news of the day.

THE SILVER CORNER.

a contemporary which is generally sound
on the silver question says that it will be
difficult to explain to the farmer why, il a
corner in silver is allowable. the Govern
ment should not also get up corner in
wheat or barley or hogs. Farmers, as a
rule, understand that the corner in silver is
not got up mainly in the interest Of silver
producers. 1t is method by which the
Government hopes to restore silver to its
old ratio to gold. The interest of the silver
producer is only remotely considered. The
demand for the use of silver as money is
so great that the Administration had to
choose between some such plan as that
adopted or free silver coinage. The effect
Of free silver coinage would be to give the
country an unlimited amount of dollars
whose market value was below that of the
gold dollar. With this unlimited supply it
would be impossible to avoid making the
c6o-9eTS ~ tie dollar of general trade.
When there are two kinds of legal tender.
the one possessing greater market value
than the other, the cheaper will grow into
general use, But contracts made payable in
the dearer would still have to be paid in
that kind. To avoid this consequence of
free silver coinage the Government makes n
corner in silver, with a view to increasing
the price Of the metal until it shall reach
par with gold. When that point is reached
free silver coinage will not be attended
with the embarrassment attending TWO
kinds of legal tender of different yalues
