oARoLINA's DIsPENsARY LAW.
Judge simOntOn Declares the Law
Unc0nstitutfOnnI.

thcuhstituuOhnt.
Charleston, S. c. March 12.-Judge Sim
onton. in the United States circuit court.
to-day rendered decision in a habeas
corpus case which was brought to test
the constitutionalty Of the dispensary
laws. The defendants, J. T. o. Jeryey,
master of the schooner Carolina, his son
and a sailor were arrested some time ago
on the charge Of violating the dispensary
laws. Their schooner was seized at the
landing and a cargo of whisky from Sa-
vannah was seized and conhscated, as
was also the vessel. The defendants gave
bail and were surrendered by the bonds
men to the sheriff, who held them in Gus
tody The writ of habeas corpus was
then sued out for their release.
The court asks: rs the act of the leg
isature Of South Carolina, upon which
this arrest was based in conflict with the
constitution and laws OF the United
States?" and proceeds to discuss the sub
Ject. incidentally the court says that
The dspensary law has become fixed in
the legislation of the state 1t is for the
interest Of all her citizens that it be set
tied and the constitutionality of all its
parts be ascertained and that speedily"
But the court finds this arrest in viola
tion Of the constitution and the Interstate
commerce act and orders that the pris-
oners be discharged from custody. The
court says ne tlduHe OF lnE QlSUEn-
sary act, so far as 1t has been made to
apply to these petitioners, is absolutely
void"
This decision will probably carry the
dispensary law up to the United States
supreme court.
A special to the News and Courier from
Beaufort, s. c., says: This afternoon
the state constabes seized on board of
the sloop our Fritz of Charleston six
teen barrels Of whisky and five barrels
of export beer marked Stincken & O'Neal,
Wilmington. N. c., shipped from Savan-
nah, Ga. Benjamin Elfe, represented as
supercargo in charge, was arrested up
on warrants issued by Trial Justice r. @.
White, charging infraction Of the dispen-
sary law in bringing eontraband WHISTLES
and liquors into the state for use therein,
upon affidavit Of the state constables.
THE defendant claims that he was only
passing through by the inland passage on
account Of stress Of weather and that he
was bound for Wilmington. The consta-
bIes claim to have evidence to the contra
ry and have telegraphed the governor the
situation. The vessel and cargo are in
charge of the sheriff to abide develop
ments The defendant was required to
furnish hail"

despite that fact reforms were neces-
sary. These reforms, however, must be
studied seriously The Baltic and North
Sea canal, when opened, would enable
Germany to mobilize her entire navy in
the North Sea, and France must like
wise be able to mobilize her vessels In

CLEVELAND ALL RIGHT.
No Truth In the Report That He Has
sprained His Ankle.

Spratued HIS Ankle.
Cape Henry, Va, March R.-The re-
port that President Cleveland is suffering
from a sprained ankle is false. 1t has
probably sprung from some telegraphic
or typographical error. Mr.. Cleveland
has been unusually well during his entire
cruise in these waters.
Mr.. Cleveland finished his duck hunt
at Cape Hatteras this evening and is now
honeward bound. The Violet left the
cape channel about o'clock and headed
for Roanoke marshes. If it is a good day
tomorrow Mr.. Cleveland will probably
hunt for few hours in the vicinity Of Cur
rituck light house, though ducks have
been unusually scarce there this season.
After leaving Currituck Sound the steamer
will pass through the Albermarle and
Chesapeake canal into Elizabeth river.
From there to Washington the trip viii
be made without stop.

At the recent convention Of the Epis-
copal Diocese of New Jersey the chair
man of the Convocation Committee
read report in which it was set forth
that the average New York daily jour
nal devotes more than II per cent. OF
its space to crime, more than Z percent.
to sports, and less than 1 per cent. to
religion. Such estimates show no par
ticular tendency on the part of the
newspaper, which is simply a mirror
of the news, when legitimately conduct
ed. If three times as much space is
devoted to crime as to religion, it simp-
~ shows that crime cuts that much
more figure in the news of the day than
religion. It certainly is not the fault
of the newspaper that it does not find
more news in the religious field.
