COUNCILMAN GOLFERS TRIAL.
Kan Who Had Beer Has a Very Feeble
Memory.

The fact that the father Of the liquor
license ordinance now before the Council
was to be tried on a charge OF violating
the provisions of the existing ordinance,
which are also embodied in the one pro-
posed, brought large crowd to the Po-
lice Court yesterday. Councilman George
Golfer was tried, charged with having sold
and given away beer last Sunday.
Sergeant Barlow and patrolman Sutphen
testified that they went to the saloon about
s o'clock Sunday night and knocked at the
back door and were admitted by Golfer.
They saw Sylvester Flood standing at the
bar with an ordinary beer glass in his
hand, which had been partly emptied.
Sutphen went to him and asked him what
he was drinking and was told it was beer.
Flood then finished drinking the contents
Of the glass and put 1t on the bar. Golfer
then took the glass and washed the foam
out of 1t. Flood was then put on the stand
and his testimony showed very poor
memory as well as a predisposed fear OF
policemen. He remembered fully all Of the
minute circumstances connected with his
entrance to the saloon and also could detail
in full the circumstances attending the en-
trance of the officers and what was said
and done after they had come into the
ROOM But when asked what 1T was that he
was drinking his memory failed him COM
pletely He said that he badly
scared that he did not know what he had
drank He was questioned closely as 10
his knowledge of the taste of the various
kinds of liquors. lie said he had tasted
nearly everything In the catalogue except
GIN and some sweet wines and could rec
oSnize such liquors by the taste. The sight
OF the officers coming iinto the saloon
frightened him so much that he gulped
down the contents of the glass without a
thought as 10 its taste, and could not tell,
three days after, whether 1t was beer or
cream soda.
When Sergeant Barlow was being cross
examined by Newton Harding, Golfers at
torney, Golfer asked the Sergeant How
long have you known me?''
Keep still, Mr.. Golfer, Mr.. Harding
said with some angry gesticulations.
81 think / have a right to ask him a
question"
Some half angry words passed and the
discussion became quite warm, when Mr..
Harding said: MIR. Golfer, either you or
will conduct this trial and do 1t alone. You
may take your choice"
"Oh. WELL, go ahead; 1 won't say any
thing more"
Mr.. Golfer testified in his own behalf.
He said that Flood had seen him waiting
i'm front of his saloon and asked him If
he had anything to drink. He then asked
Flood TO come In and gave him a glass of
cream soda, which Flood was drinking
when the officers came in. He said his
door was not locked and any person could
have opened it and walked in.

OWEN COUNTY PENSION CASES.
State Department g. A. R. Sends a Re-
port to National Headquarters.

Yesterday very interesting report was
forwarded through the headquarters Of the
Indiana Department OF the Grand Army
OF the Republic to the national headquar-
tiers from Gettysburg Post. No. SO. of Spen-
Ger. owen county. When the national COM
mander called upon posts to investigate all
charges against the character of persons
drawing pensions in their locality Gettys-
burg Post appointed a committee TO in
vestigate every case. The purpose of the
investigation was advertised in all the
county papers and all persons who knew
OF ex>so;diers or their heirs who were re-
ceiving pensions to which they were not
entitled were called upon TO present the
cases TO this committee. There was no re-
Spouse. One citizen who had made charges
was requested by letter to appear before
the committee. but he paid no attention to
the invitation.
The Spencer Democrat having declared
editorially that many persons in the county
were receiving pensions to which they were
not entitled. the committee earnestly re-
ouested the editor TO meet the committee
or give IL list of such persons, but he did
not deign TO notice the request. Having
Information that a quite prominent citizen
written letter To the Pension Bureau de-
claring that large part OF the pensions
granted IN MS township were upon traudu-
lent affidavits. the committee invited him
20 lay his Information before IL, but he in
turn made response. Finally two MEM
bers OF the committee went to this man
and told him OF the nature of the letter
which IL was reported that he had written
the Pension Bureau. He declared that IL
such a letter was there with his name
signed TO IL IL forgery.
Finally he ramed TWO cases which he re-
garded as fraudulent. one that OF a mother
who drew a pension the death of a son
who was illegitimate and the other of a
man who could not have got a pension
upon real representations. The committee
Investigated that case and found that the
condition of the claimant was as set forth
in the affi6avits and IN the certificate given
by the medical examiners The committee
adds that II has made diligent inquiry and
has examined every case about which there
was doubt. but has been unable to find one
case which Is not covered by the law under
which the pension was granted.

EnoourapinR Signs.

The business depression exists in all
parts of the country, but it is greater in
the east and west than in the south
Taking into consideration this condition
of affairs Savannah has no reason to com
plain. She appears to be much better
off from business point Of view than
most Of her sister cities.
The statement of bank clearances for
the week ending Jan. %, showed an in
crease of over 25 per cent. in Savannah
bank clearances as compared with the
clearances of the week ending on that
date of last year. The clearances of the
banks of only seven cities out of seventy
nine showed an increase, and Savannah's
was one of the seven, and Savannah's in
crease was the greatest with the excep-
tion of that of Emporia, Kan. This is an
indication that there are better times
ahead for Savannah. Her bank clear
ances are good evidence of the volume of
her business, and this evidence is to the
effect that she has less reason to com
plain than nearly all the other cities of
the country.
There is not much building being done.
it is true, and the movement in real estate
is light, but it is worth noticing that
there is very little depreciation in the
price of her real estate That fact shows
confidence in her future, and there is
good reason for saying that the confidence
is well founded.
If business continues to improve, and it
is pretty certain to do so, there will soon
be activity in building and plenty of work
for mechanics.
What every business man in Savannah
should do now is to push his business Wig
orously and earnestly. He should show
by what he does that he has confidence in
the future of the city, and should leave
no means untried to increase the city's
prosperity. Courage and energy are
what tel in business, and if Savannah s
business men will exert themselves to the
utmost they will soon be out of the tolls
of hard times.

The rariff and the SOLID south.

The action of the democratic House in
putting sugar on the free list has made
the democrats of Louisiana restless. Free
raw sugar and no bounty means the de-
struction of one Of Louisiana's greatest
industries. Consequently the question
whether the passage of the Wilson tariff
bill, in its present shape, will have the
effect of bringing about political changes
in the south is receiving some attention in
that state.
A day or two ago ex-senator Edmunds,
of Vermont, one Of the foremost repub-
licans of the country, was in New Or
leans, and was asked by a reporter Of the
Times-Democrat if he thought the tariff
question would break the solid south.
Mr. Edmunds said: II don't see any i'm
mediate prospect of its doing So 1t
naturally ought to, but practically l see
no prospect Of its dong so for several
years at best"
There is considerable dissatisfaction in
the south with certain schedules in the
Wilson bill. II is confined, however, to
those who are interested in sugar, coal,
iron and lumber. But the number of
large enough to make a decided impress
sion upon political sentiment While it is
true that the sugar planters cannot stand
free sugar it cannot epredicted with any
degree of certainty that free lumb Der, free
iron and free coal will be particularly
damaging to those engaged in manufac-
turing lumber and iron or mining coal.
1t is possible that free lumber may hurt
the lumber business, but there seems to
be good reason for saying that the coal
and iron interests will prosper with the
duty wholly removed from coal and iron.
Mr. Edmunds is right in saying there
is no prospect of the tariff question break
ing the solid south. The south will re-
main solid as long as the race question is
the most important. one in the south.
Division would mean the Introduction
into Office of ignorance, and ignorance and
corruption would quickly join hands.
What would follow in that event is well
understood. The years of carpet-bag rule
have not been forgotten, and are not
likely to be soon.

The Bond Issue.

II is safe TO predict that the Knights Of
Labor who have begun legal proceedings
to prevent the Secretary of the Treasury
from issuing bonds will find that they
have no case. They take the ground that
there is no law which authorizes the
secretary TO issue bonds. Congressman
who oppose the secretary's bond policy
do not go so far as that. In the resolution
introduced into the House by Representa-
tive Bailey, and which has been reported
favora bly, by the House judiciary com
mittee, admits the secretary has a right
to issue bonds, but denies that he can use
the money received for them for the cur
rent expenses of the government.
Owing to the action Of the House judi
ciary committee it is probable that the
bids for the bonds win not be so numer-
Gus as it is thought they would have been,
nor will the aggregate amount of them
be so large. But there is not much doubt
that the bonds will be issued, and that
higher price will be received for them
than that fixed by the secretary. The de-
bate on the Bailey resolution will bring
out the fact that the question of issuing
bonds has been carefully considered from
every standpoint, and that the secretary
was well advised before deciding upon
his bond policy.
The secretary has not been anxious at
any time to issue bonds. 1t has become
necessary, however, to get money from
some source to meet the ex-
penses of the government. The
silverites want to force him to coin
the seigniorage of the silver bullion in
the treasury, but that cannot be done in
time TO supply the demands of the treas
ury, and there are, besides, other reasons
for not relying upon that source Of sup
ply. 1t is certain that bond issue would
not be resorted to if the secretary be-
lieved it would be advisable to get the
money needed from some other source.

George Rheinhard, a non-union engi-
neer on the Lehigh Valley railroad, was
accidently killed on his engine few DAYS
ago His father, a union engineer
on the New York Central road,
was informed of the occur
renee. Upon inquiry he learned that his
son had taken the place of union striker
on the Lehigh, whereupon he declined
to receive the corpse or have anything
to do with it. He gave his reason that he
had neither sympathy nor respect for a
"scabn
