of realizing on it when Thomas O. Sea

foundations in the humors OF life on change
the play by no means adhcres to the

a comedy that appeals to every one, in

LIQUOR IN SOCIAL CLUBS.
Adverse Report on the Senate Bill
Affecting Licenses

In the estimation of the District Com
missioners, social clubs should pay for
the privilege of selling liquor, and they
have accordingly recommended adverse
action UPON Senate bill 2193, introduced
to further amend the law.
This action is taken upon the recon-
mcndation OF the excise board in which
the Commissioners concur upon the ground
that the clubs should be legally required
to take out license upon payment of the
fee required by law
The organizations affected have good
deal of reason, IN financial sense, to seek
exemption from the opera lions of the
license law. Many of them have hitherto
regarded payment of $500 per annum as
excessive, and now that there is likeli-
hood Of San increase of the fee to $500,
the prospect is not flattcring for the per-
petuity of the social custom hitherto en-
loved.

cashed at these places only by the pen
sioners themselves or their immediate
relatives or their designated assignecs
much OF the evil of squandering pension
money for liquor might be avoided. 1t
can be done no other way in justice TO
men whose only real failing is an appetite
for drink, and all attempts TO place their
money in the keeping OF guardians to be
doled out at their pleasure should be
abandoned as impracticabIc and unjust
The experiment. might he tried in Washing
ton where the custom OF preying on Old
soldiers seems to be prevalent Most
banks would be glad TO open their doors to
cash pension checks were they properly
authorized and designated, and as the
satisfactory solution of this question in
wolves the welfare OF a large number of
citizens this way OF dealing with it is at
least worthy a trial.

products the effect is necessaril even
more Injurious 10 the general public than
the sale of our ownconvict-made goods. The
bill reported to the House Yesterday does
not apply TO this class OF importatiuns, al
though it mig ut prevent their being shipped
to interior states, and on this particular
point there should be some stringent lcgis-
lation.
The argument OF the committee that the
bin is not intended 70 interfere with the
rights of States TO sell the labor OF their
coDyicts within their own territory is
perhaps timely. But in the estimation of
sincere sympathizers with the unfortunate
condition OF American labor it is believed
that it would he wiser TO feed convicts in
idlcness than TO employ them TO the detri-
ment Of free wage carriers. According TO
our system OF government this question
must be settled by the several States them
selves, but the Interstate traffic Of con-
yict-made goods can be prohibited by
Congress, aud it should be done without
unnecessary delay.
