Defending Wales.

LONDON, June 15.-The Ddily NelCS
continues to defend the Prince of Wales.
1t says: The suggestion that the Prince
should have played the part of informer
ana peacher upon his old friends, when
in trouble, is utterly preposterouS. No
such duty SHOULD be cast upon men of
honor, and certainly the Queens regu-
lationS do not cast it. The imputation
is that the Prince of Wales and Gen.
Owen Williams conspired to conceal,
not 4 crime, but an accusation, which it
was forced VIM. Gordon Cumming him
self To bring under notice OF his com
handing officer.
The DdiIy NelOS thinks the case
would be met if the Duke of Cambridge,
as COMMUNICATIVE of the forces,
should signify his diSapproval of the
document signed at Tranby Croft. The
paper blameS Lord Coventry FOR drag
ging the Prince into the scandal, instead
of his duty in keeping him out of it.
Mr. Henry Peyton Cobb, member for
the Rugby division OF Warwickshire,
who had announced his intention of
questioning the Secretary of War as to
what action he intended to take in re-
gard TO the Prince of Wales, General
Owen Williams and Lieut.. Berkeley
Levett for signing the document which
allowed Sir William Gordon Cumming
to remain an officer in the British army,
although he was believed TO have cheat
ed, etc, did not, in view Of Mr.. Stan
hopes statement, put the question he
had prepared.

THE LIQUOR CASES
DECIDED IN THE SUPREME COURT, YESIYR-
DAY.
The Decree Of Judge PAUL, in the Marshall County
Cases Revsrsed-0thsr Business
Transacted.

An important decision was handed
down in the Supreme Court of Appeals,
by Judge English yesterday. Judge
Brannon dissenting. The case was that
of D. l. Hartley, ct al, VS.. John Her
meta, and was one of four similar
causes, the others being Lutes VS.. Riley,
Stdger VS.. Kelley and Deck VS. Kull.
The decree reversed the decree of the
Circuit Court and dismissed the bill.
The syllabus was as follows:
Under Section IS of Chapter - of the
Code,a Court of equity can not restrain by
injunction party charged with selling
Intoxicating liquors contrary to law, OF
about the house, building or place where
such Intoxicating liquors are alleged to be
sold, contrary to law, until the owner OF
keeper of such house or place, has been
convicted of such unlawful selling at
the place named in the BILL
The effect of this is victory for the
liquor men, as the decision in the Hart
ley cases carries all the other cases with
it.
Other cases passed upon or argued
were as follows:
Board V. Callahan, from Barbour coun'
ty; petition for appeal refused.

A SUNDAY PICNIC.
A Graphic Description of a Trip to Lock-
woods Grove.
DsJ1;ro TribuuS

Beltaire Tribune.
The Jolly Bros. with her barge ar
rived at the upper wharf about Il. IN.
Sunday, and took on about ten men
from this city for Lockwood's Grove.
When the boat landed at this point
there was dance in progress in which
two old ladies and two 12-year-old girls
and four half drunk men were particl-
pating. In the front end of this floating
dance room, there was to be seen
that interesting game that takes
captive the unsophisticated, COM
monty called a "shell game.
Why it is called this we cannot
tell unless the poor fools who are taken
in shell out all they possess. Along
side of this little game was another
called "chuck luck" We didn't see any
one having any luck unless it was the
two fellows who were running the
wheel. In the rear end of the boat and
on one side there was bar over which
drinks of all kind was passed to the old
bald headed men as well as to the young
American kid. When the boat arrived
at the grove and just before max
ing fast to the Ohio side, there
was great demand for bottled
goods, and as the announcement was
made that no goods must be sold after
landing, the sales were exceedingly
large, men and women getting their
supply until the boat should return
from Wheeling. The dancing com
menced at p. m. with two quadrills on
the platform, and there never was at
any time during the day more than
three quadrills on the floor Some peo-
pie were compelled to stay there all day
without anything to eat, as the party III
charge OF the boat had neglected to
bring anything from Wheeling. In
fact 1t was drinks they wanted to sell
and not edibles. There was a
large well dressed lady made the re-
mark that "This thing is going to be
fizzle; people don't believe in Sunday
dancing" While she did not believe in
dancing she was the largest beer drink
er we ever saw.o She laid out one lndl-
udual, and another individual got so
full that he broke his suSpenders in try
ing to throw up his shoes. Another
drunk laid out in shade OF barn was
startled from his drunken slumDer by
the shril scream of peacock, when he
raised up on his arm and said, you're
a (hic) liar! there amt no fire." No
woman who has any respect for herself
will attend picnic given under this
Sunday Management.
It's nothing but drunken spree and
insult, obscene language and indecent
exposure, to be met on all sides. Two
girls from near Moundsville were in
duced to drink beer and to such an ex-
tent that they become foolish, and when
it came time to leave they were induced
to get on the boat, as they could dance
all the way up the river. They got off
at Benwood and were talking about 60
ing to hotel and telegraphing to their
parents that they had been carried past
and would be home in the morning. The
owner of the grove has repented of his
folly, and one more Sunday like the one
just passed will settle it with him.

~FINTNG W" THE TREASURY STATE
AIENT.


SIENT.
As the first Of July draws near, bring
ing with il the close of the fiscal year,
the apparent anxiety of the Treasury
Department to show balance in its
favor increases. The Treasury Depart
ment proposes to meet the situation, by
ceasing TO publish a statement OF its
daily cash balance, or by changing the
statement in such way as to show
surplus. In private banks, change in
the form of statements is one Of the
methods adopted to conceal crooked
ness. The broken Keystone bank, OF
Philadelphia, showed the public sur
plus I'D to the time it's doors were closed,
and Philadelphia and Pennsylvania were
discovered to have lost nearly S1,00O,-
600 each.
The exact state of the treasury is
shown in the following Washington dis
patch to the New York Commercial But
letin:
The net cash available in the treasury to-
day was reduced TO *, 973, 925 by means OF
the recent pension drafts The entire cash
balance was $45, 900, 9l6, but of this sum ST.,
6l7, so is on deposit in national banks, and
$50. 4OS, Ash is in fractional silver and minor
coins The entire amount drawn for the
pension payment of June has reached
about SIS, 500, OOO, and nearly 100000 is
still required. If warrants were drawn
for this amount the available cash would
show a deficit of 3, 100000. The calls upon
national banks, which will be paid toward
the close OF the mouth, would just cover
this deficit. The condition of the treasury
led to a rumor to-day that the daily state
ment of the treasurer was to be dlscOn-
tinued. There appeared TO be no toun-
datiOn for the rumOr, but change IN the
form of the statement is being seriously
discussed. The deduction OF the bank
deposits and the fractional currency from
the cash balance may be no longer made so
that a balance at the end of the statement
will show the robust figure of $40, 100000 10
$5O,OO0,OO0, where the present form oil state
meut might show a deficit.
or this proposed change in the state
ment, it is to be observed: First, that
the $4,000, 900 in pennies, nickelS,
dimes. quarters and half dollars is legal
tender in amounts of only twenty dol
lars, or less, aad when the Secretary
calls il part of the legal tender cash bal
ance, he simply closes his eyes to law
that forbids him to do so. The SCI
600, 900 deposited in the banks is needed
for the transaction of government bust
ness. and could not all be He'd, as the
change in the treasury statement will
imply.
Mr.. FOSTER can so arrange his figures
as 10 show to the public the semblance
Of a surplus, but the hard cash in the
treasury will not be back of It.
