Wild propositions for the opening OF free

are made; but people who have money to
expend in benevolence outside Of the partic-
ular destitution brought TO their Immediate

These appeals will not be made In vain at
this Christmas season. though they are
made TO people whose own resources have
been diminished seriously by the same
causes which have brought about the more
extensive destitution. The only incomes
which are not lessened In time like this
are the incomes Of the charitable organiza-
tions. The less the amount Of money made,
the greater is the sum which must be
given away. The less employment there is.
the less are the profits OF employers. The

LIQUOR Saloons as Nuisances.

A decision OF great importance TO persons
engaged In the liquor business In Indiana.
and Of interest TO liquor dealers. temper
ance reformers and Prohibitionists gener-
ally. was rendered by the Supreme Court OF
Indiana last week. In 1891 one JOHN STRH-
LIN put up a business block on ground ad-
Joining the residence OF Mrs. MARY HAG-
GARD on College avenue, street OF private
residences in Indianapolis. STEHLIN sub
sequently got license to keep a liquor
saloon In his building. This license
was issued In due form by the County
Commissioners. the owners or occupants
OF the private houses in : he vicinity pro-
testing. STEHLIN openGi a saloon. and has
continued to keepit.
Mrs. HAGaARD. who is opposed on general
principles TO saloons. brought snit against
him In the Circuit Court TO recover damages
for the injury which. she averred, had been
inflicted upon her property by the proxim-
ity OF the saloon. Her counsel. a promi-
nent Prohibltionist. took the ground that
the liquor business is a nuisance of itself.
tending to uepreciate the value OF property
near which 1t Is carried on; and that there
must be remedy in the shape Of damages
TO the injured party. Moreover the liquor
law was unconstitutional. Testimony to
establish such injury was offered for the
plaintiff. The counsel for the defendant
maintained that his license by the COun-
ty Commissioners, according to an act
OF the State Legislature. was a sufficient
justification and answer. The law gave
him his license; II he violated his license.

holding. in effect. that since licensed

It's keeper is not liable In damages for any
injury to adjoining property. The plaintiff
appealed 10 the Supreme Court. and that
body affirmed the decision. The plaintiff
thsTeupon petitioned for a reheaTing. which
was granted. and the case was again ar
gued before the Supreme Court. That
court has now given judgment for the ap-
pellant in an opinion that fills the Indl-

LIQUOR licenses is constitutional. but that

on that account by the law. so that
the community may have legal safe
guard against the dangers OF the un-
restricted sale Of liquor. The rights OF
the citizen are not to be sacrificed be-
cause the liquor traflo is regulated by
act Of the Legislature. It could not have
been the purpose Of the makers OF the
liquor license law TO authorize an Injury
10 the property OF the citizen. Though the
law llcensee the keeping Of saloon. 1t can
not confer any right to injure the property
Of the citizen. A Law cannot authorize the
creation or maintenance Of anything con-
fessedly Injurious 10 any man's property.
unless It is clear that general public bene-
flt. transcending the particular injury. is
thereby secured. A saloon that lessons the
value OF property is a nuisance at law. and
can be abatod as a nuisance and. moreover.
the person whose property is Injured by
saloon is entitled to recover from the keeper
damages equal to the injury established.
The natural result Of this decision will be
the elimination Of saloons from the resi-
dence streets Of Indianapolis and other In
diana cities. In the country towns they
will have 10 be remote from the thickly
settled parts, doubtful advantage for the
friends OF temperance. Tho Indiana Pro-
hibitioDists expect great things from the
decision. and acclaim 1t as an onward step
in law and morals. Certainly It makes
q license a very doubtful Investment In any
quarter where there Is real estate Of much
value, as the saloon keeper is liable to be
assessed for heavy damages and to have his
saloon suppressed as nuisance.

Tho Prevalent Destitution.

All the churches and charitable organIza-
tions are taxed to their utmost this winter
to discharge the pious and philanthropio
duties they have assumed toward the poor
and suffering. 1t Is a alamentable fact. now
beyond dispute. that the amount OF exist
Ing destitution In New York, and In the
many populous communities In Its neigh
borhood. Ia larger proportionatoly than 1t
has been at any time before during twenty
years past.
This destltution. too. extends among in
dustrlous and seii-respecting people. who
will never either ask or receive the assistance
OF the more fortunate unless their need Is
extreme. Usually. at this season. the char
liable societies are compelled 10 employ
much expert skill In discriminating be-
tween genuine and spurious poverty. be-
tween honest deprivation and criminal pau
perism. so that greedy impostors may not
gobble up the charity intended for real and
dire suffering. With the approach OF the
cold weather. the army OF tramps are accus-
toned to leave the country roads and seek
the streets OF the town for the very purpose
OF DETECTING this charity to themselves.
This winter. unhappily. the situation is
totally different. The cheap lodging houses.
usually flled with tramps and dissolute
idlers. are now crowded nightly with honest
workingmen. many Of them skilled me-
chanics, who deem themselves lucky II
they can spare few cents for the sleeping
hunks. The great difficulty OF the charit-
able societies is no longer In wedding out
imposture. but In getting means TO satisfy
the demands Of indisputable destitution.
Accordingly these philanthropie agencies
are now appealing more earnestly than ever
before to the liberality Of those who have
something TO spare for the unfortunate
