BLIND TIGERS" MUST GO.
Governor TilIman's ~Dispensary Liquor
Law Held 10 Be Constitutional.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. S.-The decision
of the Supreme Court in the dispensary
cases was filed tonight. Justices Pope and
Gary declare the law constitutional. while
Chief Justice McIver dissents. Justice
Gary argues generally that the regulation
of the manufacture and sale of intoxi-
eating liquor comes within the police
power of the State, and that the dispen-
sary is such a regulation of the traffic:
that there is no inherent right in anyone
to sell liquor, and that being the case, the
State has a right to prohibit the sale alto
gether or to SO control it as Ii deems ues.
tor the general welfare. Justice Pope as
sents TO this finding. Chief Justice McIver
dissents, and relterates generally the posi-
Iion taken by MIN when the law was de-
clared unconstitutional last spring.
The effect of the decision will be that
Governor Tillman will now begin an active
warfare against blind tigers which have
been hourishing without much molestation
since the act was declared unconstitution-
al. What the saloon men will do is prob
lematical. They have never had any con-
courts, but it is more than likely that
some kind of a case will be gotten up
which will finally send the question to the
Supreme Court of the United States.

THE COURT.
Fall Term Opened Yesterday with S14
Cases ON the Docket.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The fall term
Of the United States Supreme Court opened
at noon to-day, all Of the justices being
present and the court room crowded with
attorneys and spectators. Chief Justice
Fuller announced that the customary call
of the Justices on the President would be
postponed, owing to Mr., Cleveland's alb
sence from the city. After admitting a
large number of applicants to practice be-
fore the bar and hearing formal motions
the court adjourned until tomorrow, when
actual business will begin.
When the court adjourned last spring
there were ia cases on the docket and
about one hundred ave been filed during
the recess, making S14. There is an aver
age of about one hundred new cases to
come in during each term, so that there
will be about 914 on the calendar altogether
at the end of the term. The average of
disposals is about $50 for each term, and
this Will leave a few more than $50 unde-
cided at the close of the present term.
This result has been attained by reason of
the relief afforded by the establishment of
the courts of appeal, which take such a
great burdep from the Supreme Court that
it Will eventually be able to quite catch up
with the current work and clear the dock
ct at each session. The court work here
tosore has been about three years in ar
rears, but it is believed that within two
ears the docket will be cleared so that
cases will suffer but little delay.
