Clubs Fare Badly in Court.

Lately Philadelphia has been having the
same sort Of O dispute with the social clubs
of that city that Savannah recently hal
with the local clubs on the score of the
privilege Of selling liquors without a
license.
When the case came up before Judge
Pennypacker in the city court of quarter
sessions the other day he charged the jury
adversely to the club cause.
Among other logical points in his charge
the Judge told the jury that "citizens can
not acquire greater right when they COM
bine as a club than they can acquire as
combination of individuals.
Continuing the judge said that under
the act it Is not unlawful to buy, but it is
unlawful to sell. Two men may agree to
purchase quantity of liquor and divide it /;
so may a hundrod or any number. But in
this case there was more. There was not a
distribution of the liquor bought among the
members of the club, but there was some
thing more. There was salo of the prop
erty. This is admitted by the evidence. II
you believe this testimony to be true, it is
your duty to find she defendant technically
guilty"
Consequently there was no alternative for
| the jury but to find the accused guilty. But
the question is to be carried higher 1t will
probably be finally settled in the Pennsyl-
vania supreme court.
Yet the reasoning of the judge was strong
and carries with it conviction TO the rational
mind as well as to the defendant in the case
Such a decision of high court of record
as this controversy is leading up to will IN
doubtedly be OF material advantage in the
adjudication of similar cases that may from
time to time come up for settlement IN other
places AS an established precedent that
sort Of decision based upon a thorough
examination of every aspect and detail of
the disputed rights would be especially val
liable in that it would not only serve as a
guide for future action upon similar cases
but would also avert much of the acrimo-
Nous wrangling that such contests almost
invariably engender.
SUCCESSFULLY similar contests have come
up in almost all OF the larger cities of the
country. Therefore this one will be watched
with great interest from many different
points as it proceeds on its journey 70 the
court of last resort.

All hope that the Briggs heresy coutro-

open discussion of the subject in the form
of trial have now been abandoned and the
doctor will probably have to face the charge
against him in q way that may open rather
a heated controversy in the Presbyterian
church all through the country. There is a
widespread feeling in that denomination
that the highest interests Of the church
would have been subserved by such quiet
adjustment Of the points in dispute as would
have obviated the necessity for a public
trial. That view OF the matter appears
only reasonable. Heated dissensions may
grow out Of the fractional and doctrinal
zeal evoked by such trial that are only too
apt 70 be productive Of more harm than
good
