Clubs and Liquor Licenses.

For the purpose of testing the law the
Army and Navy Club, Connecticut avenue
and street, through Attorney II. S. Wood
ward, yesterday afternoon filed suit
against the District to recover the sum of
500, the amount paid by the club the 9Th
of last month for liquor license.
The declaration filed by the club states
that it is supported by a joint fund, de-
rived from the entrance fees and dues; that
it keeps for use of its members a stock of
liquors and other supplies, being the joint
property of the club purchased out of the
joint fund, and dispensed only to members
ard guests; that at the time of purchase
an order card is signed by the person or
dering, and the amount set forth upon it
paid and deposited to the credit of the joint
fund of the club, the sole purpose of pay
ing for the liquor being to supply more
and no pecuniary profit is enjoyed by the
club or any member.
1t is claimed by the club that it paid the
license fee under protest, and that as it is
not, so it is informed amenable to the
liquor license law, it is entitled to receive
back the amount paid for one.

REVIVAL OF SLAVERY IN THE
SOUTH.-A doubly novel occurrence is
recorded in Geoi getown, KY Novel in
the first place in the fact that two
negro women have just been sold into
slavery there; novel, in the second
place. in the fact that they were
bought by two negro men, who gave
one dollar and five cents for one and
two dollars for the other newly pur-
chased slave. The negro women were
convicted of vagrancy and, by the
order of the court, were sold into
slavery for the period of six months
So we have authority for the head
line Revival of slavery in the South, !"
which will cause cold shivers down the
marrow bone of the Northern Republi
can editor until he sees that the slave
owners are negroes tbemselves-and
that the Introduction of slavery in the
South has actually been Endorsed by
members of the negro race in that they
put themselves in the position of
slave owners.
Possibly the new proprietors of these
slaves were once slaves themselves and
wish to test the novelty of owning
niggers. The assertion may be ven
tured that negroes would rather be
owned by members of the white race
than by members of the black race
The white man will make a more mer
ciful master.
But the main point in this connec
ton is the fact that the introduction
of slavery in the South has been re-
vived and sanctioned by the negroes

him. Since the war General Corse has
faithfully discharged all the duties of
Il good citizen and he dies lamented by

friends in other sections. A feature of
his funeral was the attendance of a

How Cheap Money Affects Wage earners.

The New York Journal of Commerce
says that ''most if not all the profes
sional labor men in the country are
noisy advocates of a cheaper currency.
The wage earners have been enormous
ly benefited by the fall in prices, how
ever other people have Jared. They
have no OCCASION to complain about the
so-ealleyi characterization of silver even
if that were the cause of the fall in
prices. Tlsswage will get such
money as is current in the community
and they certainly have every reason
for desiring good money instead of bad.
Good money, from the consumers point
of view, is money of which little will
buy good deal, and poor money is
that of which a great deal is required
to buy little. For the wage-earners
to demand to be paid in dollars on the
silver basis instead of the gold basis is
suicidal, and if the Powderlys and
Debses and Sovereigns and Gomperses
cannot see this it is evidence of their
low degree of intellectually. There
has never been a depreciation of the
currency that did not infiict great suf-
fering on the wage earners; there has
never been an advance of prices in
which the wage-earner did not get
pinched between the paymaster and
the grocer"

Watterson concluded as follows:
Born as lowly as the son of God, in
a hOvel; of what ancestry we know
not, and cared not; reared in perjury,
squalor. with no CLEAN of light or fair
surroundings: with external graces act

or official training; it was reserved for
this strange being, late in life, to be
snatched from obscurity. raised to SUI
Dreme command at 81 supreme moment,
and intrusted with the destiny of a ma
ton. Where did Shakespeare get his

raised up by God, inspired by God,

hence no story. no tragedy, no epic

der, or be followed by mankind with
deeper feeling than that which tells OF

The Agricultural Department reports
as the result of it's sheep census that
there We're in the country at the begin
ming of this year AZ, 294 ,064 sheep, re
duction within year of more than
two and half millions. The average
weight of wool per sheep has increased
from 5.33 to 5.49 pounds, so that the
entire wool clip falls off only from 3O3,
100000 pounds to 29S,000,000. The
average value of sheep is said to have
fallen from S19S to $1.5S. The number
of sheep remained unchanged in Rhode
Island, Delaware. South Carolina.
Nevada and Oregon. These States
contain nearly 100000 sheep. The
number has increased in Montana,
Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico,
Arizona, Utah, Idaho and Oklahoma.
These States and Territories contain
in round numbers about twelve million
sheep. 1t is not new thing for the
number of sheep to decrease in the
East and even in Ohio, and to increase
in the far West. Other domestic ami
mails, except mich cows, show reduc-
lions in numbers and values.

Important Decision Oftho Court of Ap.
peals.
THE DECISION OF THE FORMER COURT
OF APPEALS IN THE MILLER
CASE REVERSEn

THE DECISION OF THE FoRMER COURT
OF APPEALS IN THE MILLER
CASE REVERSED.
The decision rendered by the former
Court of Appeals which has cost the
State so much money in the trial of
petit larceny cases. has been reversed
by the present Court of Appeals We
copy from the Richmond State as fol
lows -
The Court of Appeals has reversed
the Mary Miller case, and the decision
OF the old Court as to the Jurisdiction
of magistrates, which has given the
people of Virginia SO much trouble, is
now dead letter.
The Mary Miller case involved the
constitutioDality of sections 4106-7-S of
the Code of 1887, which confers juris
dictiOn upon justices to try certain
criminal offences named in the first
section mentioned. The case began in
a magistrates court, then went to the
County, Court of Rockingham, was
then appealed to the Circuit Court OF
that county, and finally got up to the
Court of Appeals The Circuit Court
was reversed January IA, 1899, the case
was reheard on April 10, and reaffirmed
on April 21st, Judge Lacy vigorously
dissenting. The decision of the Courr
was that section 4106 was unconstitu
tional and that ali cases enumerated
therein must be tried by jury.
The case decided to day was that OF
John Brown VS.. Epes, sergeant of the
city of Richmond. Brown was arrested
for the larceny of copy of the Rich
mond Dispatch, valued at three cents
tried by Justice Crutchfield and sent to
Jail. He applied to the Court of APP
peals for writ of habeas corpus, which
was awarded. This brought before the
atty of section 4106 of the Code of 1887,
which had been declared to be uncon
stitutional by the old Court. A unani
nous Court to day reverses Mary Mil
Ter and holds that section 4106, which
confers upon the several police justices
and justices of the peace in addition to
the Jurisdiction exercised by them as
conservators of the peace concurrent
jurisdiction with county and corpora
ton courts of the cases enumerated in
this section is constitutional and valid
This relieves the cities and the State
of the enormous expense incurred in
the trial of petty criminal cases.
Brown was represented by Messrs.
Geo. r. Wise and Chas. w. Dunstan
and the case of the Commonwealth was
argued by Attorney General Scott, who
followed exactly the same argument he
used in the Mary Miller case and is
naturally much gratified that the
Court susrains him throughout.
The opinion was written by Judge
Keith and is very strong paper.
Justices may now try petty criminal
cases, without waiting for the constitu-
tional amendment to 20 into effect.
