CARTRIDGE had been warned that he must

to arrive at the conclusion that ne must

the same step in the case Of Dispenser

that Baptist in good standing cannot

to be called to account by the church.

A story that will interest young ladies,
and the moral of which may be helpful
TO some of them in the event of similar
emergency, comes from Indiana. The
groom Ito be) at a prospective wedding
lost courage and fed, after the minister
and guests had arrived and the wedding
feast had been spread. The bride was.
OF course, surprised, but she was neither
indignant nor disconsolate. Philosophi-
cally observing that she wanted no man
to feel compelled to marry her if he did
not want to, she invited the guests in to
supper, and sat down with them and en-
joyed the food and the interchange of
pleasantries along with the best Of them.

The pispensarv Law in Peril.

South Carolina S dispensary law seems to
be in peril Judge Simonton in the United
States circuit court yesterday decided a
part of the law to be void, because it is
contrary to the interstate commerce law.
The case in which the decision was
rendered was the habeas corpus case of
Langford, an agent of the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company. Hedelivered
a keg of whisky that had been brought
from point outside of the state to the
consiguee in the state, and was arrested
for violating the dispsnsary law. He was
ordered to be released
The dispensary law forbids the bring
ing of Intoxicating liquors into the state.
except by state authority The question
now is, to what extent will this decision
interfere with the success of the dispen-
sary plan2 If the decision stands will not
Intoxicating liquors of all kinds be
brought into the state in kegs and jugs for
private usel And it would not be a diff
cult matter to sell surreptitiously intoxi-
cants in small quantities in out-of-the-way
places
The decision seems to be a sound one
ana, II an appeal should be be taken to the
United States supreme court, would in
all probably, be affirmed If the state
accepts the decision as final the South
Carolina jug trade will very soon be an
enormous one. A very large per centage
of the people are very hostile to the dis
pensary law, and will take pleasure in
doing what they can to make its success
full enforcement impossible They will
bring wines, whisky and beer into the
state for the use Of themselves and
friends rather than patronize the dis
pensaries. In that way they will
strive to make the dispcnsaries I'M
profitable 1t is evident that
the enforcement of the dispensary law is
going to beattended by good many diff
culties

Carter Harrison, mayor of Chicago, is
just a bit more modest than Congressman
joe Cannon, who recently expressed
the opinion that he could, if he were Pres
ident, stop the financial stringcncy in IF
teen minutes Mayor Harrison thinks it
would take him, if he were President,
just thirty,days to restore confidence and
prosperity to the country. The way he
would do it would be TO unload all the
silver in the treasury upon the people
make them take it whether they wanted
to or not He would not issue a single
certificate or note, but pay everything in
silver. Certificates and gold can be
boarded. but silver cannot, says Mayor
Harrison; it is too bulky People who
got it would pay their debts with part
of it and bank the balance, thus the cur
rency stringency would be broken Mayor
Harrison is not, as might be supposed, a
youth, but is near his sixtieth year

A Fact Worth Noticing.

The south is loaded up with silver For
years it has been sent south a the begin
ming of the cotton season, as it is a salts
factory currency in which to pay cotton
pickers. There is probably more silver in
the south than in any other section of the
country. In the north it is a rather I'M
usual thing to receive silver dollars in
change. In the south silver dollars are
more numerous than one dollar and two
dollar bills
If the silverites should succeed in fore
ing free silver coinage on the country at
the ratio of 16 to l, or even 20 to /, it is
pretty certain that silver currency would
not circulate on parity with gold
currency Either gold would go to pre-
MUM and disappear from the circulation
altogether, or silver would circulate at
its intrinsic value-that is a silver dollar
would be worth only it's bullion value,
about go cents at the present
pr ice of silver. In either event the
south would be an immense loser If
gold should go to premium the prices of
all the necessaries of life and all other
articles would advance sharply. If it
should remain in circulation the pur-
chasing power of silver would be equal
only to its bullion value.
The south, therefore, is deeply con
cerned in the silver question. The
greater part Of the silver in circulation
in the southern states is in the hands of
the poorer people They would be the chief
sufferers. The national Democratic plat
form points out that fact, and in order TO
protect the people the democratic party
declares that a silver dollar must have
the same purchasing power in the mar
kets of the world and to pay debts as a
gold dollar.
But the silvarites disregard this decla-
ration Of the Democratic party in all tho
propositions they make in connection
with the free coinage of silver. Some OF
them want a dollar worth only 60 cents,
and others favor. one worth ABOUT 20
cents. No one of them has yet proposed
ratio that would keep gold and silver
currency on a parity And yet some Of
them are democrats ana pretend TO be
willing to5abiiie by the declarations Of the
national democratic platform. There is
ground for doubling their sincerity

..GiGAN,Ic" IN NAME AND DEED.
10 Excel the Great Eastern in Size and the
Campania in Speed.

LONDON, May 2.-The steamship Camp
ania is to have rival, larger, sWifter and
in every way more remarkable. Her
builders are making great secret of her
construction and the line for which she is
being built, but she is to be called the
Gigantic.
While the Campania, the largest vessel
now atioat, is 62o feet long, 65 feet beam
ami of 10000 horse power, the new Gigan-
tic will be longer than the Great Eastern.
Her dimensions are 700 feet length, IS feet
beam and 5000 horse power.
She will, therefore, be about twenty feet
longer than the Great Eastern and fifteen
feet less in breadth. The horse power of
the Great Eastern engines however, was less
than 900.
While the Teutonic, Majestic, New York
and Paris have accomplished an average
rate OF twenty knots across the Atlantic,
the Campania and the Lucania are ex-
pected to do twenty-five, but at one bound
the Gigantic is To run at speed of twenty
seven knots an hour on the ocean, so that
the voyage from Queenstown to Sandy
Hook will be reduced to about 100 hours
or just over four days.
As the name of all the White Star steam
ships end in ''ic' it is probable that the
Gigantic is to be White Star liner. Will
the American line floating palaces now
building at Philadelphia be able to beat
her,

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May 2.-At the
national convention of the textile workers in
this city today, resolutions were adopted
calling upon local unions to appoint com
nutters to urge the use of union goods and
visit the dealers of each city and town,
where there are weavcrs' organizations, to
urge them to handle only such goods as
bear union labels.
The convention was in receipt of much
. correspondence from various textile centres,
where wcavers are not organized, asking
for information as to what course should
he pursued in the institution of local
unions, and requesting that organizers be
detailed to organize them.
The amalgamation of the Silk Ribbon
Weavers union of New York city, H0-
boken, Paterson and other cities of that
section with the National Textile Associa-
ton. will increase the membership over
5000, all of whom are active and energetic
trades unionists. This afternoon officers
were elected.
The convention adjourned, to meet for
next session ut Philadelphia.

of visitors passing through, which swelled
to u steady current Of humanity as the fore
noon wore on.
Crowds soon learned that most of the
buildings were in the hands of the installa-

devoted to the wooded island, the battleshiI
and the midway plaisance, where every
thing is complete. In the latter avenue
everything was in full blast from early
morning.
A general sir of enjoyment not unmixed
with business pervaded the whole thorough
fare. Outside the grounds the cable cars
rnloaded thousands of passengers. many of
whom were attracted by the side show s
which line the streets for blocks on every

was then taken up and A. NJ Goddard
moved that il be indefinitely postponed.
Several asked the directors to explain
where this would leave the matter. Prof
K. B. Capen for the board said that ut the
meeting last year the directors were in
structed 10 buy a lot AMI authorized 10
build a schoolhouse not exceeding $1,000 in
cost. During the year 200 scholars were
withdrawn ard while they were not dis
tributed to the satisfaction of the directors
and teachers they did relieve the conges-
ton to some extent. The scholars are
fairly comfortable. No rooms are over
crowded, no children are kept out OIL ac-
count of the distance. In view of these
facts and that three rooms in the north end
are vacant the directors had not thought il
advisable or necessary to go ahead and in
cur the expense this year, although they
believe that the schoolhouse would be a
good thing and would be necessary in a
short time. They had therefore asked for
instructions.
Mr.. George Merrill called attention to
the fact that all the arguments used last
year in favor of a schoolhouse in the south
end were still in force and hoped Mr..
Goddards motion would be voted down.
The moderator explained that the motion
would leave the matter as now, viz, that
building schooihouse would be optional
with the directors.
The motion was carried with but few
votes recorded in the negative.
