"Washington to-day" says a CORE
~spOndent, has more asphalt pavements
than any city in the country with the
exception of Buffalo. Of the 1G4 miles
of improved streets in Washington Il
are paved with asphalt, making, 1,773,-
O57 square yards. For the streets on
which heavy hauling is done cobble-
stonei is generally used. OF this pave
ment l4lg miles have been laid. The
heavy grades have been principally
paved with granite blocks. of which
IS miles have been laid. In the
northeast section of the city the asphalt
block has been found to answer the
purpose very satisfactorily, and over 13
miles have been put down within re-
cen years. There are still % miles of
streets laid with coal tar and lII5 of

THE SWISS REPUBLIC.
1t Has an Executive Council, But Nc
President.

1t Has an Executive Council, But No
President.
Under the Swiss system. says the
North American Review, the executive
power is vested, not in a president, but
in a council or cabinet of seven, which
holds office for three years. The oun
Gil apportlons the departments of state
among it's own members, and the
members of the council have the right
to speak and make proposals in either
house of the federal legislature, but
not to vote" When the measures pro-
posed by the Swiss ministers are de-
feated in the legislature, they simply
return to their desks and go on with
the business of their departments, a
form of procedure which has stood the
test of experience. We have, there
fore, a most satisfactory precedent
upon the one vital point at which we
must depart from the English model.
The Swiss constitution, like our own,
is federal; and it's federal legislature
consists of two chambers. The Swiss
executive council or cabinet holds for
three years instead of four: the Swiss
ministers possess the right to sit in
either house, to initiate legislation and
debate, without the right to vote; and
when the vote upon measures pro-
posed by them is adverse, they remain
in office until the end of their terms.

Dispensary Riot Recalled.

BALTIMORE. September 12.-1he
Sonth Carolina ~dispensary riot OF last
March was discussed in the United
states circuit court here yesterday be-
fore Judge COtf. The matter came up
in the form Of an injunction suit to
nrevent Governor Tillman or any state
officer under him ron taking posses
sion Of the arms and 2ccourtrements of
the Washington Light Infantry com
many of Charleston. :. c. 1t will be re-
called that when Governor TillmanS
dispensary raiders passed the line of
offensiveness drawn by the citizens of
Darlington and other towns they were
attacked. a number of conStables killed
and the rest put to flight. When called
upon the company failed to respond.
Governor Tillman was highly incens-
ed and ordered the company to surren-
der its arms. This order was also dis
obeyed and an appeal to the courts was
made.
The Charleston company is repre-
sented by Theodore 5. Barker and j. P.
h. BRYAN. Attorney General Buchanan
appeared for Governor Tillman. The
lawyers of the company claim that the
arms were secured by the company by
special act of congress and held in I'M
disputed possession for I'VE sixteen
years; that arms We're issued for no
other purpose than to use for the com-
pany; that, therefore, the seizure of
them by the governor would be illegal,
as it would be a diversion of the arms
to a purpose not authorized by the act
of congress under which they were is
Sned.
