The attention of Secretary Hoke
Smith has been called by the Commits
sioner of the General Land Office to the
recent decision of the United States Su-
preme Court in the Bernier case, in
which it vas held that in the death of a
homestead entryman leaving no widow
but hath adult and minor heirs, patent
when issued, should issse to all the heirs
equally, and not to the minor heirs to
the exclusion Of the adults. This is
contrary to the uniform ruling of the
General Land Office, and the Commits
sioner asks whether the practice shall be
changed to conform to the Supreme
Court decision The Secretary answers
in the affirmative, aud holds that all
cases in conflict with the decision refer
red to must be considered as overruled.
Hereafter all patents issued must con
form to this de,ision.

PRONUNCIATION Of the false statement in

South Carolina has new liquor law
that while designed to be in the interest
of temperance, will probably astonish
some Of our Maryland friends, who be-
lieves ($ays the St Mary's Enterprise)
the devil ills the bottles as he draws the
bow across and turks beneath the fiddle
strings After July NO licenses to sell
liquor either in the saloons or drug
stores will be granted 10 South Carolina.
Instead there will be State dispensaries
established in every county where abso
lutte prohibition does not prevail by d.
rectiou Of the voters. These dispensa-
ries will be backed by the State, and tn"
stock sold by salaried aud bonded officers
No liquor eau be brought into or sold IN
the State. except by consent of The State
Commissioners. In othet words, the
State has gone into the hotel business, and
will superiniend the distribution of all
spiritaous and malt liquors used in the
State. will bear the expenses and reap
the profits from the sale, and punish all
who buy, sell, or use the liquors con-
trary to the provisions of the statutes Of
the State. 1t is a compromise between
prohibition and free saloons, and is in
tended to regulate the use and prevent
the abuse Of the liquor traffic This
plan has been in use IN some of the Eu-
ropeau countries for several years, with
beneficial results. The operation of the
new law in South Carolina will be watch
ed with interest BY both the friends and
opponents of the saloon.

to return to China the body, dead or
alive, of every Chinaman who sails for
these shores. They used TO keep this
promise to the letter, but now they
only send home the bones of those
whose families request 1t.
The Six Companies started in small
way in 1850. They began through the
operations of the American agents of a
Hong Kong firm, and their first work
was in hiring men in China to meet the
demand for labor in California. AS
the business grew other Chinese firms
went into ii, and finally the agents OF
all these firms united for self protec-
ton and in order to keep the business
among themselves. There were six Of
these agencies. and they styled them
selves the Six Companies. Eighty per
cent. of the Cinnamon in the United
States and Canada are brought here at
the expense of the companies, which
get them work or loan them money to
start them in business. In return for
all this they are bound by contract to
pay back all the money expended for
them, and by an agreement which the
companies have with the steamship
lines no Chinaman is allowed to return
to his native land unless he can show
a certificate to the effect that he is
free from Indebtedness to the COM
panies. Every Chinaman pays two and
one-haf per cent. of his earnings to
the company having him in charge, and.
if he IS taken sick. he is taken care of
at the expense Of the company. while,
