The south Carolina pispensary Law.

The South Carolina Dispensary Law.
In view Of the effort that is being made
to enact dispensary law for this state the
statements OF Gov. Tnlman of South Caro-
lima in his message to the legislature rela-
tive to the workings OF the dispensary law
in that. state are extremely interesting.
The governor insists, of course, that the
law can be enforced. II is natural that he
should do so, because the dispensary
scheme is one Of his pet reforms. 1t is ap-
parent, however. from what he says that
he has not yet succeeded in en-
forcing the dispensary law, and that
the effort TO enforce it has given
him a vast amount of trouble
and has cost a good deal Of money and a
number of lives. A very considerable part
Of his message is devoted to the dispensary
troubles, and the conclusion that those
troubles suggest is that it is by no means
certain that it is possible to enforce the
law.
The governor says he has sixty-five con-
stables and detectives employed to see that
the provisions Of the law are complied
with, and that the expenses of enforcing
the law are heavy. He wants the law
amended so as to give him more power
than he now has. He wants a law pro
viding for a metropolitan police force in
all cities where such a force is found to
be necessary, and he is sure that it is ne
cessary in Charleston.
The demand for metropolitan police
force indicates that the law is not now be-
ing enforced, and that the difficulties in
the way of enforcing it are so great that
it is a question whether or not it can be
enforced at all. We have said frequently,
and the more we see of the workings of
prohibitory and dispensary laws the more
firmly are we convinced that the statement
is true, namely, that law that has not
the support of the people cannot be en-
forced.
There is not a great deal OF difference be
tween prohibitory law and a dispensary
law, and Gov. Tillman virtually admits
that a prohibtory law could not be en-
forced in South Carolina. In his message
he makes this statement: 1T is safe to
say that of the men who voted for pro-
AiADitiSAA IA AnV- AOt oiAS bHouSdiu ieAldlii
who believe that prohibition is practical
BILE" And why is it not practicable? Simp-
ly because public sentiment does not favor
it.
More than half the counties of this
state are prohibition counties, and pro-
hibition is enforced because the people
have voted for it. The other counties do
not favor prohibition and it would be
impossible to make them obey a prohibit
tory or a dispensary law. They may be
educated to favor prohibition and adopt
it under the local option law, but to at
tempt to compel them to accept it or dis
pensary law would be a great mistake.

The Political Boss CONDEMNED.

DR.. Parkhurst whose successful war on
Tammany has made him famous, is now
making war on political bosses who are
trying to grab the fruits of his victory.
In his speech at the great dinner that was
given in his honor in New York on Tuesday
night, by the city vigilance league, he de-
clared he would make no personal refer
ence TO Boss Croker or Boss Plat or any
other political boss. Speaking generally
of political bosses, he said: There isn't
much to prefer between a boss of one po-
litical complexion and a boss of another
political complexion, for they both are
unmitigatedly, unquestionably and thor
oughly destructive. The safety of Ameri-
can institutions lies in the appreciation
by every man that he is man with
right to his opinion and a right to ex-
press 1t.
observe now in what relation the
bosses stand to that idea. The boss is the
most cunningly devised scheme that has
yet been invented for the purpose CT crush
ing out and drying up individual manly
personality, and you and I, to our dying
gasp, will fight the boss, no matter what
may be his pretensions to Responsibility
the more respectable he is the more dam
nably dangerous he is
DIR. Parkhurst may fight the bosses as
stoutly as he can, but they will make their
appearance and hold their ground against
him. Boss Platt has already begun to
dictate to the newly elected city officials,
and it is not improbable that in a little
while he will have almost as much control
of the affairs of New York city as Mr..
Croker had under Tammany's rule.
1t is almost certain that the committee
of seventy that claims to have been
largely instrumental in overthrowing
Tammany will have serious dissensions
among it's members. 1t is unreasonable to
suppose that seventy men could agree
where there is so much patronage to dis
pose Of. In order to secure permanent sue
cess there must be harmony and in order
to secure harmony there must be organ
ization, and in organization the boss finds
his opportunity.
