REsUBM1ss1oN.

The present revival in this commun.
ity, seems to be bringing the liquor
question to the front and in this con-
nection we believe it proper to define
the attitude of this paper. 1t is pretty
we'll understood i'll this county that
we do not favor the present prohibi-
tory law, and believe that the prohibit
ton question should again be submit
ted to the people. We believe in rule
by the majority and if it is shown that
the people Of this state want prohlbi-
bitiOp, we will cheerfully assist in en-
forcing the law, but it does not follow
that because our people were in favor
of prohibition fifteen years ago, that
they are so at the present time. The
vote at that time showed that we we're
in favor of trying prohibition and in
voting OIL the question again, we will
ascertain if our people are satisfied
with the result and wish to continue
it. 1t is apparent that large por-
tion of the voters of this state are not
satisfied with the law as it now stands
and they have right to know whether
they are in the majority or not, and so
we are in favor of submitting the ques-
tion to the people. On the other hand
we are opposed to joints. Tns joint
keeper Is just as much law breaker
and just us amenab,e 10 the law as the
horse thief, the pick pocket or any
or any other class of criminals and
any citizen who countenances the
joints contributes to the violation of
the law. The fact that the law is OBJ.
noxious to great many people is not
Il good reason for allowing it to be
broken and the prohibitory law should
be enforced just as rigidIy as any law
on the statute books, hence we say
that we are opposed to allowing joints
to exist in our city. The question of
expediency should not be taken into
consideration. for the question is SIM
ply one as to what is right and what is
wrong under the laws of the state.

=. The senate committee Oh Foreign
Relations, probably realizing the hum
bnggery of that long Cuban resolution
reported the other day, has reported a
substitute which is. shorter and which
means something. This substitute
declares it to he the opinion of con-
gress that Il state of war exists Ill
Cuba and that the U. S. should main
tain a strict neutrality between the
contending powers, and accord each
all the rights of belligerents. That is
as far as congress has right to go.
It is for the executive branches OF the
government to recognize the belliger'
ency of the revolutlonists, and after
congress adopts the resolution the
president vii probably do so.

Arnold and Harvey will not he hung.
The opinion in the case Was written
by Justice Allen and was the unani-
nous opinion of the court.
The contention of County Attorney
A. g. Dyer was that after the expi1a-
rion of one year, if the governor re-
may proceed to order the execution of
the sentence, and may fix IL time for
carrying 1t into effect; that the other
sections OF the act of 1872 were ex-
pressly repealed while sections 270 and
37l were allowed to stand; that the
Legislature evidently considered the
whole subject and Intended to leave
power in the court to carry the sem
tence inro execution. In the opinion
the court says:
''It would be sufficient answer to
the claim of the county attorney i'll
in this case to say that by the very
GcI tHC JutSChSho w VIZ viz
trict court of Edwards county, the
defendants were directed to be confin-
ed in the peuitentiary until snch time
as the governor should sign the warrant
for their execution. We are not, how
ever, willing to rest our decision Oh
the form of the judgement. We are
clear that under the law as it now
stands, the death penalty cannot be
lawfully inflicted until the governor
shall fix the time there for and issue
his warrant in accordance with the
act of 1872,
1T is probable that if the governor
should SO fix a time for the execution
of the sentence, and issue his warrant
to the warden of the penitentiary fol
that purpose, and for any reason ii
should he lmpractible for the warden
to obey the warrant owing to the es
cape of the prisoner, or other sufficient
cause, proceedings might be had unde'
these sections. and thus it may be
that they still have some force and
were therefore allowed to remain un
repealed.
