who Rules This Country :

From the demonstrations which are oelne
made against the dspensary law, stranger
might think that the greatest calamity had
befall the people In the curtailment Of the
whiskey traffic.
Whether true or not, their conduct would
seem 10 indicate that the gentlemen IN the
cities deem themselves as higher and above
the law, and as strong enough TO trample un
der foot such legislative enactments as do mol
coincide with their views.
Itis true that Governor Tillman and his
followers and associates have made mistakes
and attempted to do unjust and unlawful
things, notably In confiscating railroad prop
erty and In fixing rulnous freight tariff rates
but this does not authorize the anti.Tillman'
ties 10 set at naught whateverlaW they please

Judee HudsOn's Opinion.

Judge HudsOn's Opinion.
Judee Hudson has declared the dispensary
law unconstitutional.
The decree was rendered in case which
was brought before him from Darlington.
Until iurther act of the Court the decree
can have effect only in Darlington.
The lawyers are divided in opinion as 10
whether 1t will be sustained by the Supreme
Court, but we believe all acknowledge the
ability Of the Judge.
The decision is clear and forcible, and
leaves no doubt as TO the opinions expressed
Our own opinion, which may be taken fol
only what II Is worth, Is simply this:
Judge Hudson erred In placing the sale o
whiskey in the same categary OF corn, meat
or other articles Of merchandise.
The State has prohibited the sale Of liquor
for years, except upon the condition that the
party selling It should first obtain from the
government license TO do 80.
No man is born with the right TO sell whis'
key.
The Courts have held that prohibition Is
constitutional, and as a matter OF fact, any
less interference with the traffic must OF me-
cesslty be constitutional.
The exercise or the greater right to cut on
the sale entirely, implies the lesser right 10
restrict Its sale, and 10 control 1t.
Judge Hudson's decision reads we'll, but II
10 not good law. His premises are wrong and
OF course his conclusion cannot hold.
Aside from the legal point:
The newspapers are giving IL q political
caste. This on the part OF the minority, is
all wrong.
The history OF the past will prove that
when politics are arrayed against the bench,
that the old Judges m ust give place to Judges
who are in sympathy with ruling faction.
And we presume the history OF the past
will furnish no parallel to the interference or
obstruction OF laws that will compare with
the records Of the recent past In this line.
The popular branch of the Government has
been frequently In conflict with the judicial
department, and the judicial department has
frequently interposed its restraining power.
The result then, will be, II this ia made q
political issue, to remove the able and com.
petent judges and to fill their places with
new and untried men.
The Reformers will claim q precedent for
this in'the action OF the Government in 1873,
when II was deemed necessary to displace the
Republican Judges.
Judge Hudson's decision will not stand,
and tho result will be, as far as 1t has any eff
feet, 70 exasperate the dominant element
We think the political warfare has gone on
long enough, and the time is at hand, when
It would DO we'll to restore peace. harmony,
confidence and good will among our people,
but from the present outlook the dlspeusary
question will oyershsdow and lead all 9th er
questions In the next campaign. It will not
be Tillman or anti!Tillman, but 1t will be

Worlds FAIR GROUNDS, May IT,
While the weather may be monot-
onous subject to read and talk about, it
Is nevertheless becoming a serious mat
ter to thousands Of people who are
financially and otherwise interested in
the Columbian exposition. Since the
time usually set for the breaking of
winters backbone there have rot been
dozen seasonable Pleasant days for
the air. Tho elements have put
stumbling blocks in the way of its COM
pletion in the last three months, and
since the opening there have only bsen
two or three warm pleasant days such
as visitors comlag from all parts
on the world expect in order
to enjoy their outdoor viewing
of the exposition. This is the sixteenth
day, and more bleak, disagreeable dose
OF weather would be hard to find any
where in this country at this season of
the year. The attendance in the morn
ing was lighter than it has been for
many days, and the exposition people

Average Attendance Only 1900.
The average paid attendance so far
has not been much over 17.0O0 daily.
which is far below the number neces-
sary to meet the operating expenses of
the exposition, to say nothing of the
millions of half dollars needed to repay
the bondholders and stockholders of the
great enterprise. Outdoor work in the
Midway Plaisance and other parts of
the exposition is also being retarded by
the cold.
Changes In Rules.
The live stock department of the ex-
position has made the following iinpor-
tant changes in the rules governing en-
tries and ownership OF animals:
For the KENNEL exhibit, which begins

Abbott, alias Frank L. Almy, was
hanged for the brutal murder at Han
over, N. H., on July II, 1891. of Christie
Warden. Ten out of fifteen of the last
years of his life have been spent in
prison. His father. overcome by sha me,
killed himself years ago.
The boy was bad from his 10th year,
and after thefts and more serious
crimes, was sent to prison for long
term. He escaped, and at last went to
work for Andrew Warden, and fell in
love with his daughter Christie. She
did not favor his suit because she knew
nothing, and he would say nothing. of
his past. Wien his time of servics ex-
pired he was not re-engaged and was
supposed to have left the neighborhood.
Story OF the Crime.
At $50 o'clock on the night of the
murder Mrs. Warden, her daughters
Christie and Fanny, and Miss Louise F.
Goddell, neighbor, were making their
way home along lonely road near the
farmhouse, when Almy confronted
them. He said:
"Mrs. Warden, you and Fanny may
move on with safety. / shall not harm
you unless you interfere with me, and
if you do | will shoot you like dogs.
Christie, have come thousand miles
to meet you, and now our timeis short. :"
He drew a revolver. cooked it, and the
four women stood petrified. Almy seized
Christie by the left shoulder, and lock-
ing her left arm around her neck, placed
the muZzle of his weapon against her
sister Fanny's breast, and said: i have
halted yon, Fan. and unless You let go
of Christie will blow you into eter-
nifty"
The young girl answered: ''Shoot
then; will not let her CO."
Almy grasped Christie around the
waist and pulled her into clump of
trees, out of sight. He threw his victim
to the ground, grasped her firmly by the
feet and skirts and dragged her toward
q small brook, 200 yards from the high
way. AS he advanced he kept shouting:
"Go Back or I'll Shoot"
This threat overawed the mother and
her friend, but did not frighten Fanny.
Almy continued to draw his burden
toward the underbrush. which he
gained after Christie's outer clothing
was literally torn from her body. Hold
ing her there in his embrace he saw the
sister but few rods away. Taking
deliberate aim he fired, but the girl
came on.
Again he fred, and she felt the whiz
Of the bullet at her shoulder. Conceal
ing herself near by she waited. Another
shot was fired.
After five minutes passed neighbor
came. The man was Emmett Marshall.
As they stole on the place where Almy
was located two shots were fired in
quick succession and death cry fol.
lowed. The tragedy was over and they
saw Almy rush mp the hill in the direc-
ton of the town.
Christie was found lying on her left
side, her skirts covered with blood from
wound in her back and another in her
head.
Hid I'm the Barn.
Almy went to the Warden barn and
was looking out when the lifeless body
of his victim was carried into the house.

defender .sColonia" has been launched
successfully. The event was witnessed
by prominent yachters. There was no
christening. The launching of this
boat is important from the fact that she
is the first of the cup defenders to 60
overheard. She greatly resembles the
lines OF the Navahoe. She is a keel
boat, the 81 tons of lead being bolted on
the keel.
