The VALISE EXPRESS A letter
from Grahamville, S. c., to the Savan-
nah Telegram says: Tho situation
here as bearing on tho new dispcnsary
law is exceedingly interesting. Never
in the history of the place has public
sentiment been reused to so high a
pitch and any one topic so completely
monopolized public attention.
The effect of the law upon the bust
ness has been simply demoralizing. A
large number of the best business
houses here are seriously considering
closing their doors, and several OF
them have already moved away.
Meanwhile half u dozen or so blind IT,
gers have opened and are in full blast.
There is no special secrecy about them,
although considerable precaution is cX-
ercised as to who they admit All
these establishments are doing big
business.
There is a general impression that
the town is full Of Tillman spies, and
the air is filled with rumOrs as to their
identity. One man camc under suspi-
clon recently, and, although he stoutly
protested his innocence, he was liter
ally run out of town. 1t is certainly
unsafe for any one to be regarded as
one of the dispensary emissaries, and
If there are indictments and arrests at
this place there is certain to be
trouble.
One of the most remarkable out
grOwths of the law has been the cstab-
lishment of the "satchel express" be-
tween this place and Savannah. Sew
eral clubs have been organized, and an
enterprising individual has under
taken to supply them with whiskey at
small commission. Regularly twice
week he leaves for Savannah, carry
ing two lagre valises with which he re-
turns the following evening. When
he goes out the valiscs are full of
empty TASKS, and he returns with full
ones. He carries about four gallons
per trip, and makes good living out
of the business. His advent is always
hailed with great JOY and the clubs
are flOuriShinp

sPEAkE1. LEh's FIRST.
Every Man on the Rules Commit
tee a Republican.

Speaker Lee has appointed his first
committee, and every man OF the i've
named is Republican. Any sort of an
approach to this policy in naming the
balance of the house committees would
leave Democratic members very little
chance to worry over committee work.
As Republican officials are seldom or
never known to share any part of
good thing, this will probably occasion
little surprise among the Democrats.
In response to a resolution of the
gentleman from Hennepin, the follow
ing representatives were named as a
committee on rules: Howard. II enne-
pin; TurreI, Redwood; Boggs, st.
Louis; Wilson, Goodhue; Horton, Ram

ing" committee everything will be

a motion to dispense with reading of

The largest part of yesterdays ses-

seats. Some of the members acted very
much as lot of boys at school might,
and the speaker was repeatedly COM
PEELED to take a hand at holding them 70
the terms OF the resolution providing
for the seating. This resolution gave
aged members and eX-members OF the
house precedence in choosing seats, the

Their Operations.


WASHINGTON. Jan. A. Senator
Chandler thinks that he has hit upon 4
perfectly legitimate means of stopping
further operations by the Pinkertons,
and TO-DAY he introduced in the senate a
short bill with this end in view. 1t

bill would, if enforced, destroy the
Semi-military anarchist organizations.
The bill is as follows:
An act to prohibit unlawful military
organizations: That it shall be unlaw-
full for any body of men numbering ten
or more. any OF whom are subject to en-
rolIment as part OF the military OF any

make such call.
Sec. 2. 1t shall be the duty of the
president to disband and dispense any
snch organization, and every person
serving us Il member thereof shall also
be subject TO fine not exceeding 81, 900,
or by Imprisonment not exceeding one
year, or by both fine ami Imprisonment.
