LIVELY TINES AHEAD.

The Attorney General has rendered
very important decision in regard to
the duties of Sherifs in the matter OF
tax executions. The decision holds
that it is the duty of the Sheriff when a
tax execution is placed in his hands by
the County Treasurer Immediately to
make levy on the property Of the de-
faulting taxpayer and take possession
Of the property before he advertises it.
To take the personal property first, but
if there is not enough of that to pay
the tax and all penalties to levy on the
land, and not only that, but in order to
do this the Sheriff must eject the oc-
cupant, and all this must be done be-
fore advertising
This decision is something out Of the
usual course pursued heretofore and
may be good law, but we never heard
of a Sheriff ejecting the occupant OF
land to be sold under execution until
after the sale and then only to put IN
possession the lawful owner. But
this is strange year and it may all be
right. At any rate if these instructions
are followed out the Sherifs will have
some lively times before they are
through.

There is no mistaking Ex-President
Cleveland's position on the free coin
age Of silver as now proposed by bill
pending in Congress. There seems to
be large sentiment in the South and
West in favor of free coinage, and also
there is a strong sentiment in the
Democratic party in favor of this
scheme. Now we do not know enough
about this big question Of money to
discuss it and. will not undertake it at
any length. It does seem, however,
that it is not the proper thing to do to
take eighty cents worth of silver and
call it one hundred cents and make it
legal to offer it in exchange for one
hundred cents worth of gold, and not
only that, but to force man who has
one hpndred cents in gold to give it
in exchange for eighty cents in silver.
Why not put one hundred cents worth
of silver in dollar and call it one
dollar.
But whatever may be our views on
silver we cannot help but admire the
manly position of Mr.. Cleveland. He
has his convictions and the courage to
maintain them whether they are popu-
lar or not, and wherever we find such
man We are forced to admire him.
Mr.. Cleveland's position on the tariff
in 1888 defeated him for the presidency
and no doubt his position on the silver
question will lose MIN q nomination
for the presidency in 1892.

COLUMBIA, Feb. l6.-The Columbia
club through its attorney, Mr.. Allen
Green, appeared before Mayor Nc
Master to the charge Of doing business
without license. The club denies the
charge and its liability under the law.
The mayor ruled that it was liable
under the city ordinances and imposed
a fine of $40. The club has been given
until the 9th instant to Lake legal steps

law. It is likely that an injunction
will be sued out to prevent the collec-
ton of the fine and any further action
by the city government.
