SELLING LIQUOR ON SUNDAY.
Many Saloons Were Open Yesterday-The
Question of Prosecution.

Many Saloons Were Open Yesterday-The
Question of Prosecution.
Yesterday was not a "dry day" 30 far Is the
hquor-drinking population was concerned and
those who had been out the night before had
no trouble in getting an early morning cocktail
There was no notice Of a suspension Of any
laws, but many OF the saloon keepers took the
chances and kept their places wide open, as
they do on week days, and ali day long on Penn
sylvania avenue. well as on the side streets,
could be seen the fruits of the open saloons.
The prosecution OF the liquor men for keep
ing open is q question for serious consideration
on account of the passage of the new liquor
law.
1t is thought in some quarters that the per-
sons VINO kept their places open cannot be prose-
cuted because of the condition Of the liquor
laws.
The new law, it is claimed, provides for
particular law and at the same time it repeats
the old law. Under this condition of affairs it
is claimed by some that there is now no law
against those selling under the old license for
selling on Sunday.
The police, however. will procure warrants
against those who sold liquor yesterday and the
cases will be taken into Judge Kimball's court
for trial.
Judge Kimball said he was not familiar with
the new law but that he had sent to the State
Department for copy of it. Until the cases
come for trial. however. he will give no opinion
as to the liability of the dealers.
Mr.. Pugh, the prosecuting officer, fears that
he will be unable to prosecute them. although
he will make an examination of the laws and
probably present the cases in court and have
the judge pass upon them.

STEVENSON FOR PRESIDENT.

An Enthusiastic Bloomingtonian Casts His
REPRESENTATIONS Into the Far Future.
The Bloomington escort party that came on
with Mr.. Stevenson left the Boundary depot Of
the Baltimore and Ohio yesterday afternoon at
l O'Clock.
Mr. Stevenson drove out alone in q carriage
to say goodbye. He went through the train Of
Pullman cars shaking hands, and many were
the congratulations and warm wishes for the
future. AZ he was about to depart one Of his
friends said to him:
at will be goodbye, Mr.. President four
years hence"
Mr.. Stevenson smiled. shook hands again and
entered the carriage without comment upon the
prophecy.
You have undoubtedly noticed" said one Of
the prominent members of the party TO q STAR
representative who was present, "that Mr..
Stevenson is very close to us and we are very
fond OF him. The sentiments which you have
heard expressed this morning as to seeing him
head the democratic ticket in 1896 have abided
In our minds for some time. His friends will,
in fact, put him forward as a candidate for
President in 1896, and they will work for him
with the same fxedness Of purpose, determine
ton and energy that they showed during the
last campaign.
"Mr. Stevenson is the most popular democrat
In Illinois, and has q wonderful hold upon the
people. His personality is very striking and
he makes friends wherever he goes. But there
is another aspect to the question: political
one. New York shall no longer dominate in the
question Of presidential candidate. The
rotation of candidates in that state for the first
Office in the land is becoming decidedly
monotonous. nav political condition has
sprung up. There is democratic stronghold
in portion Of the country that has heretofore
been republican. Illinois and Wisconsin are
democratic for good. So is Indiana. The cen
ter OF political power Of the democratic party
has been transferred from the empire state to
this district and it is this district which in the
future will dictate terms to the democracy Of
the country. When, therefore, We say that
the presidential candidate for 1896 shall
come from this district, we mean
what we say. We will give New York the vice
presidency, and, just for the fun Of the thing,
We will reverse the ordinary course Of conspicu-
GUS historical political events. Mark my
prophecy. made this first day OF the. new ad-
ministration, Mr.. Stevenson will be the head Of
the democratic ticket in 1886 and New
Yorker will be in the second place."

MIR. Hoke Smiths Distinguished Ance stors
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
From an ancestral standpoint it is not sur
prising that Mr.. Hoke Smith has attained the
prominence OF CABINET minister at the early
age of thirty-seven. The Hokes-his maternal
ancestry-have been distinguished in North
Carolina since the days Of the revolution.
Michael Hoke, the grandfather Of Mr.. Hoke
Smith. went to North Carolina from York, Pa. d.
in 1850. He was the pioneer cotton manufac-
turer in the south. The old mill site is one of
the interesting landmarks in the historic old
county OF Lincoln. One of his uncles Michael
Hoke was a candidate for governor Of North
Carolina at the early age Of thirty-three, sud
den death terminating his brilliant career be-
fore the election. Three of his Hoke uncles
were distinguished officers in the southern
army. Gen Robt. F. Hoke. the surviving
uncle, was several times officially complimented
by Gen. Lee. His father was q typical New
England schoolmaster from the granite hills of
New Hampshire and was closely related to the
Adamses Of Massachusetts,. Mr. Hoke Smith is
not Puritan and cavalier, as the newspaper cor
respondents put II. but Puritan and the rugged,
honest, God fearing "Pennsylvania Dutch, "
who settled in the fertile valley Of the Catswba,
and have been noted fighters, patriots and
Americans since ''the days that tried mems
sonls." North Carolina gave the brilliant young
scion to Georgia, she had previously given
the illustrious Grady to the same state.
