THE LIQUOR PROBLEM.

The Rev. Tom Dixon says concerning
the dispensary system OF selling liquor:
Il believe that South Carolina with her
impulsiveness and her disposition TO lead,
has given the world the solution of the
whisky prob!e,u, and that it could be eX-
tended 10 the other forty odd States To
the advantage of civilization"
There is much Truth and good sense in
this statement. The great evil IN liquor
drinking lies in the sociabiIity of the
saloons Men, from no desire 20 indulge
in the use of liquor except for social
pleasure, become drUnkards from the habit
OF treating and responding to invitations
10 drink. Before they are aware OF it
the convivial habit has fastened upon them
the curse or dipsomania, and they become
useless so far as real worth 10 the world
is concerned.
The dispe1sary system does. away with
the saloon custom of drinking on the prem
ises where liquor is sold. Ii prohibits loaf
ing around the diSpensary.. and there is no
more inducement 10 remain in one of those
places than 10 loaf in store where mer-
chandise is disposed OF. or course this
system does not in the least diminish the
sale of liquor 10 those who drink from force
OF habit. Nor can any law be enacted 10
prevent its sale as long as ii can be manu-
factured. Bat IL limits its use to those
who VIII not do without it, and that is
the best and most effective temperance
work that can be accomplished.
After al, perhaps senator Tillman has
shown the way to practical temperance in
his bitter fight TO uphold the dispensary
system Ii so, he viii prove great bene-
factor. and as the Rev Dixon says, South
Carolina will give the world a solution of
the liquor problem.

NAVAL BUREAU CHANGES.
Secretary Herbert InSureS Increased
Efficiency by Consolidating Work

Secretary Herbert InSureS Increased
Efficiency by Consolidating Work
An important change in Navy Depart.
ment methods, which has been under con-
Sideration for months. was announced bv
Secretary Herbert yesterday in an order
making new distribution OF duties be.
tween the bureaus of ordnance and con-
struCtiOn and repair
Hitherto turrets have been designed bv
the bureau OF ordnance and built bv the
bureau of construction and repair. Under
the new order they VIII be designed and
built by the latter bureau. The bureau OF
construction and repair VIII also design
and build ali appliances for handling amruu-
milton, and VIII install on board ship all
guns and other appliances manufactured
By the bureau OF ordnance. All such work
however, shall be done 10 the satisfaction
OF the bureau OF ordnance.
AS a result of this order the work doEa
board ship by two bureaus viii hereafter
be done by one. Secretary Herbert be-
Geves that this order viii produce equally
good results as the one OF October last.
aud that not only viii the cost Of the
work be reduced, but il VIII be carried
on much more rapidly and with much less
friction.
Secretary Herbert became satisfied early
~ MS term Ailtib III SOtl1C OetaliS the UlS-
trlbutIon OF technical work between the
various bureaus was faulty. In many cases
two or three bureaus had 10 pass upon and
agree concerning work which either one
OF them was competent TO decide and under
take. There was also no one bureau which
could be held responsible for the ship as a
whole, and in case vessel fell short OF
expectations, it was impossible to fix the
blame.
Therefore, October last the Secretary
issued general order placing upon the
Bureau OF Construction and Repair the
responsibility for the designs, the stability,
and the structural strength OF the ship as
a whole, aud so limiting and defining the
duties OF the other technical bureaus as
to enable him TO hold each such bureau
to strict accountability as regards work
under its cOgDiZanCe. The order of YES
terday win tend to still further aid in
fixing responsibility.

Eccentric Engineers, K. of L., Ia,
Strong Resolutions

Eccentric Engineers, X. of L., Pass
Strong Resolutions.
AT the regular meeting of the Eccentric
Association OF Steam Engineers. L. A.
1896, X. of L. the folio owing preamble
and resolutions Were passed unanimously:
Whereas it is wen known that the diff
ferent forms of society through which
mankind passes are all steps in an eyolu-
tion continually proceeding and leading
the collective man from lower stage in
his development to a higher plane; and
Whereas the present stage of this evo-
luton has been and is remarkable for the
manner in which the working class, which
embraces the majority OF the population
of this country, has been ignored by all
tnoSa in Il position tc asQ in The emanciDa-
ton of the wage-earnerS from the slavery
into which they have been and are being
pushed by the economic tendency of this
age; and
whereas. in the further evolution to-
ward better condition of humanity and
of the working class, friend has beenfound
in The Washington Times, which, from
its establishments has been fighting alone
in a field hitherto Inoccupied by any other
papers in this city, aud, has by its success,
demonstrated the fact that humanity at
large has become more interested in the
cause of labor than was known to have
been the case heretofore; and
Whereas the success OF the said Washing
ton Times in such a worthy cause has re-
suited in other papers of this city UNDER
taking the publication OF matter interesting
to labor, which they hitherto refused to
accept at advertising rates; and
Whereas we, the Eccentric Association
of Steam Engineers, l.. A, 1896, K of L.,
view the sudden conversion Of the said
other papers from the cause Of capitalism
TO that of the emancipation Of labor, rs at
present, suspicious; therefore, be it !;
Resolved, That we, the Eccentric Asso-
ciatlon OF Steam Engineers, l.. A. 1896, X.
or l., for our own protection, shall steadily
adhere 10 our past policy of supporting,
to the full extent OF our ability, the said
Washington Times, in order that its finan-
cial success shall not be jeopardiZed, which
might result in leaving labor once more to
the tender mercies OF its contemporaries,
whose first weak steps i'll the direction
OF progress might consequently become
checked; and, furthermore, be it
Resolved, That we herewith again ten
der our respects and congratulations to the
said Washington Times, fully realizing
all that it has done and is doing for labor;
and, furthermore, be it
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to
patroniZe exclusively those who advertise
in The Times.

respect Of the community. But nothing
that Il has done or may do could SAVIOR

for reading room.

THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE.

The action OF Judge Chichester in dis
missing the Alexandria county contested
election has been a great disappointment
TO friends OF law and order. While no
especial blame is attached to any one, the
impression prevails that il is impossible 10
defeat the outlaw gang either in OF out
OF court. and such a state of affairs is
discouraginG TO those interested in purging
the county OF its lawIcss element.
Up 10 the time the contestants rested
their case in court many believed that
little Dicky johnson and his hackers had
met their waterloo. but Judge Chiuhcsilr
thought differently, and as his opinion was
the one that counted the gamblers are
still in power.
Another startling surprise was DEVELOPED
when the testimony disclosed the fact that
Sheriff Palmer had placed himself under
obligations 10 the gamblers by soliciting
the race track vote. 1t was generally be-
neved that he was an anti-outlaw can
didate. and since TINS revelation his I'l
has taken a lamcntabIe tumble from the
honorable place il occupied in the eStima-
ton 81 the better element II is wei, how
ever, 10 know such deception rs soon as
possible, and also better that the infUr-
nation came as ii did by sworn testimony
in a court Of law.

Notwitbst aBding his promise and the
pledges OF his supporters, he has made 80
effort 10 prosecute on the evidence fur
nished by the Board OF Trade committee.
il is sEid hat the wheels OF justice move
slowly Especially Is this tTue in Vr-
gina, where politics blocks almost every
thing bur an ofnce-seeker's ambition.
In view Of all the circumstances sur
rounding Alexandra county politics, and
fer the better accommodation OF the
gamblers, il would be wen 10 act on Judge
Chichester's suggestion and establish two
polling places instead Of The one at Four
Mile Run, but they should be placed one
at each race track. Even the form of vot-
ing could then be abolished without
chsngin the election result.
