Under the Stflct letter OF the law, as is
well-krown. not a drop OF liquor could be
taken outside of the door of a saloon or
hotel il the saving of life depended on
it; whereas, as a matter of fact, there are
comparatively few in the business who
will refuse TO accommodate any trust
worthy person with Il half-pint or piiit to
be carried away. This bill also provides
that applicants for license shall deposit
SLID with the clerk Of the peace at the
time Of filing application, instead of, as
now, the whole amout of the license and
contemplates the punishment Of minors
who misrepresent their age for the purpose
of obtaining liquor, and of adults hoinay
falsely vouch for them, by a fine not ex-
ceeding 500.

Before DR.. Fowler'S friends got through

There was hardly anything of public
interest done in either house to-day, be-
yond the action of the Senate on the Can
wife-beatng bill, and the sessions of the
House wee especially brief and un
evcntful. w..
The bill was reconsidcred and de
feated in the morning, Only last Tues
day the Senate had passed this measure b.
unanimous vote. The vote by which il
was reconsdered aud killed this morninG
was likewise unanimous. No public
reason was given for this change Of policy
but it was privately reported that some
body had discovered that there was an in

was gotten up with view OF sending ont
particular wiie-beater TO the whipping
post, aud that this development haC
wrought its destruction. -
Meantime MIR. Gam the legislative fathel
of the bill, had not been consulted and thu
first information he had Of any senatorial
enmity to his bantling was when q news
paper man informed him of the action o.
the other house. Thereupon Mr.. Gan
called upon the Senators and stated tina
he thought common fairness to him de
manded that the bill should be revived
and that lie should be given u hearing
upon its merits. BY such presentation Of
the case he succeeded during theatternoor
in having the adverse vote of the morning
reconsidered ana the resurrected bill re
ferrGd back to the Judiciary committee fo
further consideration.
II rests with MIR. Gam now to vindicatt
himself against the reflection cast upor
him by the condemnatory vote Of tn,
morning, and he is ready to do this. But
even should this bill have been INSPIRED
by individual feeling, that does not prov,
that it is not proper tncaslIre On til,
contrary, most men will agree that it pro
vides punishment which exactly tits tn
crime. The brute who wantonly abuse
the woman whom he has vowed to love
cherish and protect. should be treatet
to u dose Of his own medicine, am
the sheriff should see that the lashe
are well laid ON. IF the senator
from Kent and Sussex don't want tni
