The statute.

There is a good deal Of squeamish-
ness Being expressed by the Reform
press upon the subject Of obeying the
law because 1t stands upon the statute.
Now, because a statute is enacted, that
does not make it immaculate. 1t may
not be law after all. Whether the
Dispen sary act is law, is tho question
the Courts are now trying and the
whole State stands tip-toe waiting
their decision. Again it is not wrong,
although it may be illegal, to violate
a statute. Franklin, Warren and
George Washington utterly ignored
the statutes OF George Bird, and the
Boston boys flung the tea overheard in
the teeth of the statute and continue
to enjoy the APPLAUSE of mankind. A
statute that invades the liberties of the
citizen is not entitled to respect.

Iood Points IN tho Dispcnsary Law.

Good Points IN tho Dispcnsary law,
The claims of the Dispensary to sup
port, n its superiority over n form
OF licensing, rest on the following
grounds:
LIST. The element of personal profit
is destroyed, thereby removing the in
centlve to increase the sales.
I'd. A pure article is guaranteed, as
is subject to chemical analysis.
id. The consumer obtains honest
of standard strength.
4th. Treating is stopped, as the bot
ties are not opened on the promises.
9th. 1t is sold only in the daytime:
this under a regulation of the Board
and not under the law.
9TH. The concomitants of ice, sugar,
lemons, etc, being removed, there is
not the same inclination to drink re-
naming, and the closing of the sa-
looms, especially at night, and the pro-
hibition of its sale by the drink, de-
stroy the enticements and seductions
whlch nave caused so many men and
boys to be led astray and enter on the
downward course.
18th. 1t is sold only for cash, and there
is no longer "chalking up" for daily
drinks against payday. The working
man buys his bottle Of whiskey Satur-
day night and carries the rest of his
wages home.
Sth: Gambling dens, p%oolrooms, and
lewd houses, which have hitherto been
run almost invariably in connection
with the saloons, which were thus a
stimulus to vice, separated from the
sale of liquor, have had their patron
age reduced to a minimum, and there
must necessarily follow a decrease of
crime.
9th. The local whiskey rings, which
have been the curse of every munich
patty in the State, and have always
controlled municipal elections, have
been torn up root and branch, and the
influence of the barkeeper as a politi-
ca manipulation is absolutely destroyed.
The police, removed from the control
OF these debauching elements, will en-
force the law against evildoing with
more vigor, and a higher one and
greater purity in all government
tai affairs must result. From 'The
South Carolina Liquor Law by the
Governor of South Carolina, in North
American Review for February.

1T reaches the Senate. These reverend

patch in question says:

patch in question says:
The senate finance committee
held a brief session today and order
ed favorable reports on four separ-
ate tariff bills passed a week ago.
The sugar bill, as agreed upon, is
amended so as to provide for duty
of 40 per cent straight on sugar
without any differential on refined
sugar, or any extra duty on sugar
imported from countries paying a
bounty, in other words tits the new
tariff bill rate minus the differential
it is the Jones amendment, except
that his amendment provided for
only 30 per cent. The idea of the
Democratic members of the COM
mittee is that this rate would furn-
ish sufficient revenue without Civ
ing the sugar trust any advantage.
The coal bill was so amended as
to provide for reciprocity on this
article by the admission free of
duty coal imported from countries
which admit coal from this country
free. Coal imported from countries
imposing a duty on our coal is to be
made dutiable at the rate in exist
ence when this bill shall go into
effect.
The amendment to the barbed
wire bill provides for the free adj
mission of barbed wire and all other
fencing and the rods from which
they are made.
The free iron ore bill was not
amended.
The Republican members of the
committee offered amendments of
their own to the bill. One of the
amendments offered was that pre-
senteo in the Senate by Senator
Hill for the repeal of the income
tax. They also sought to have the
revenue duty supplanted by pro.
vision for free sugar with bounty.
They voted solidly against the bills
but did not seek to delay the report
upon them. Senator White attend
ed upon the committee meeting for
the first time and acted in perfect
harmony with the order Democrat
ic members thereof.

THEY ARE READY TO QUIT.

1t is claimed among legislative
circles, at Washington, that the
Republican members of both Houses
of Congress are ready, and even
anxious, to adjourn. The Republic
an Senators say there will be nc
more business of Importance trans
acted in the Senate this session ex-
cept perhaps the passage of the
bill correcting the alcohol schedule.
The Republican leaders say this SEES
sion is over to all intents and pur-
poses, and they include in this the
speech making as we'll as the pass
age of bills. Yesterday from the
time the Senate met until it went
into executive session Senator Lind
say of Kentucky was ready to make
a speech. The Kentucky Senator
desires to defend the action of the
Senate committee and Democratic
Senators who supported them. It
is also understood that Senator AL
lison of Iowa was ready to make a
speech of some length on the pres
ent status of tariff legislation. 1t
is possible that both of these
speeches will be made by the cour-
tesy of the Senate, although the
Republicans said today that there
would be no more speeches and that
the interdict against any more bus
mess included also speeches. Some
of the Democrats assert, however,
that if any attempt is made to pre-
vent the speeches on the Democrat
ic side a quorum of the Senate will
be recalled under duress of the SER
geant-at-arms. On the Repub-
lican side it is asserted that the tar
if debate as well as the tariff legis-
lation is closed. This may lead to
some ugly feeling if insisted on. II
Senator Lindsay should get the
floor he could not be interrupted by
points of no quorum, as he could
not be taken off the floor without
his consent, but whenever the at
tempt is made to call up the reso-
luton upon which he is to speak
the point can be made, and the
present idications are that when
the Senate meets again there will
not be quorum present, as a num-
Der of Senators intend leaving be-
fore Wednesday.
Senator Harris has given notice
that Immediately after reading the
journal today he will move an exec
utive session. This is in the inter
est of Judge Porter of Tennessee,
whom he desires to have confirmed.
If there is objection in executive
session sufficient to cause the point
of no quorum to be made it will re-
suit in carrying over the nomina
ton until after adjournment.

COURT OF INQUIRY.
The Military Investigation Dragging
Slowly Along.

The Military Investigation Dragging
Slowly Along.
The court of inquiry put 10 a hard days
work yesterday at the Nationals armory.
Three long and laborlous sessions were
held. and when some of the officers
emerged from the courtroom at the ad-
journment of the evening session they ap-
peared as tired as though they had been in
the saddle all day. Captain Tildeu, who
is taking very active part in the investi-
CATION, implanted of being exceedingly
exhausted.
The Sacramento affair is being thorough
ly examined into. Although the court is
anxious to complete its work as soon as
possible, as a majority of the members live
at distance from the city, yet no part OF
the investigation will be sighted or passed
over in hurry.
General Dickinson was on the stand
during the day and General Sheehan of
Sacramento in the evening. They were
cross-examined by General Dimond's
counsel, II. G. Platt.
The scope of the testimony promises to
be of broader nature than was outlined
at the outset. It is thought that not only
the Sacramento campaign, but ali other
happenings affecting the efficiency and
standing OF the National Guard will be in
vestigated if any person who is aggIieved
viii bring the complaint before the court
Of inquiry.
Another subject which is likely to be
discussed will require the presence Of
United States Marshal Baldwin. This
concerns the responsibility for ordering
away particular troops from Sacramento
to the bridges. which gave the strikers the
impression that a retreat was In progress.
Another point refers to the order to fire on
the strikers, which was given by Marshal
Baldwin, but afterward Withdrawn.
The most interest ing part of the trial
will be when the court attempts 10 dis
cover the reason why General Dickinson
failed to occupy the Southern Pacific
depot.
The court is fully aware that the public
is averse TO closed-door proceedings, but
thinks that the criticisms which have been
made upon it are unjust
Colonel Henshaw remarked that court
of inquiry in military procedure Is denti-
cal with the grand jury in the civil courts.
He expressed the opinion that it had
the same right to close the doors as
grand jury does when it ATTEMPTS to in
dict person. He appeared 10 be indig-
nant at the idea that the court was irving
TO whitewash the whole affair." Colonel
HeDshaw said that the entire testimony
would be published at the conclusion of
the investigation. but that the board
thought 1t proper TO keep the doors closed
Ia order to expedite matters.
