Kidding Tmman's Rum Law.

CHARLESTON, s. c, July s-Tbe decision
of Judge Hudson, at Darlington, yesterday
that the so-called Dispensary act fathered by
Governor Tillman is unconstitutional is a
hard blow to the Tillmanites, while it has
given great encouragement to the old liquor
dealers. Judge Hudson IS called one Of the
sblest lawyers in the State, and while an
anti-Tillman Democrat, is noted for his
bipartisan conduct on the bench
The chief ground for declaring the law
unconstitutional is that by taking business
away from individuals the State has created
a monopoly for itself in the sale Of liquor.
incidentally Judge Hudson decided that
railroads are not prohibited from bringing
whisky into the State from outside States ::
that when the sale Of liquor is prohibited by
q State law, citizen cannot sell il: but If
it is his property railroads can deliver it to
him.
Judge Hudson further decided that a
dispensary could not be opened at Oar
lingion, because the person named as dis
penser had been illegally appointed, not
having obtained a majority Offreehold voters
of the town, as required by the law
It is probable that injunetions will be ap-
piled for in the other counties where dis
pensaries are established, in which case the
State will be badly crippled. even in the
event that the Supreme Court does not sus-
tain Judge Hudson's decision, for it will tie
up this mammoth industry, with expenses
and interest on unpaid stock accommodating
daily.

WHES the President issued his procla-
nation convening Congress in extra ses-
sion on the 7th Of next month it was
taken for granted that he felt assured ola

sherman Act" From recent Ouijoin-
ines Il now appears that be 50 reckoned
without the host" and that the silver
men ere determined to exact q,iid pro
oao for their assent 10 the repeal. They
demand either free coinage Of silver or
an issue Of currency by State banks
That the Administration is bent upon
the repeal Of the sherman Act cannot be
doubted, and that it is as determinedly
hostile to free coinage scarcely admits Of
csvil, 50, therefore, It will be driven to
choice between q continuance Of the
sherman law or its repeal conditioned
upon the issuing Of not less than forty
four kinds Of State bank notes, limited
in amount only by State legislation But
here again another difficulty viii have
10 be encountered. The silver men vii
fight wildcat money determinedly, be-
cause its issuance viii lead 10 the cessa-
ton Of silver purchases by the Treasury.
That there viii be a protraeted struggle
in Congress before the sherman act can
be repealed now appears TO be inevita-
bic, and that it viii eventually be repeal
ed Is somewhat problematical. Mean
while the uncertainty viii have still fur
ther depressing effect on the business Of
the country, and add TO the lack Of con
fidenee from which it is now 50 severely
suffering.
When Congress convenes we doubt not
that the Republican representatives viii
be found willing to vote for the uncondi-
tional repeal Of the Sherman Act, but
that they will assent TO either free coin
age or wildcat currency is not for mo-
ment to be participated. Ifeither Of these
schemes are adopted, it must be by the
votes Of the majority party. Republicans
believe that We now have the best mon
led system TIE country has ever enjoyed,
and they also belie-e with Senator Sher-
man ~that no money should be allowed
in this country which has not back Of it

that while the representatives Of the Re
publican party in the coming session Of
Congress viii do al in their power to sus-
tain our present satisfactory financial
system they viii set their faces ike flint

and eventually gave up their purpose Of pen
eirating TO the working before the foul gas
could be cleared away.
After taking up the bodies found at the
bottom Of the shaft the rescue party waited
for several hours before making another de
scent. About the middle of the evening
they went down again. The gas cleared Off
near the shaft and they were able to exam
inc part of the working. The bodies of the
miners lay in heaps. Many were sent to the
surface
