Must Remain In the Penitentiary.

Sometime ago one of the Illicit liquor deal.
ers in one of our cities was brought into
Court. An order was issued restraining him
from further dealing in whiskey. He violated
that order, and was sent to the penitentiary
for contempt OF Court. An appeal was made
to the Supreme Court to prevent the in Fiction
of the punishment. A divided Supreme
Court sustained the lower Court and the seller
of blind tiger whiskey will have to serve a
term in the penitentiary. Chief Justice Nc.
Iver rendered the dissenting opinion.
Since that decision Hon. Ira b. Jones has
been added to the Supreme Bench, and now
We believe three of the Supreme Judges sus-
tain the dlspensary law. With the Governor
determined to enforce 1t, and with a Supreme
Court which sustains the constitutionality of
the law, the ciandestIne traffic in liquor will
have rough and stumpy road to travel. 1t
is a matter of regret that SO able and SO up
right Judge as MIR. McIver could not see his
way clear to endorse the best whiskey law
that was ever put on any Statute book.
The law has come to stay. The people are
determined not to return to the old barroom
system, and nearly all of the friends
OF the saloon are beginning to realize
that fact. The daily newspapers are not
friendly to the law, but 1t seems that they be-
gin to see the situation as 1t is, and foreigners
are not now so openly encouraged to violate
the laws Of their adopted country. The prob
ability is, that even that good old city of Char
lesion will cease to align itself with the liquor
element and fall into line with the temper
ance people Of the State in their effort to re
quire the blind tiger to 60 out OF business
The metropolitan police are presumed to have
an eye especially for the suppression OF that
trade. 1t looks like law and order will tri
umph, and that the violaters Of the whiskey
laws even in the most defiant cities will have
10 close their Illicit places of drink.
The closing OF one thousand barrooms and
the release Of five thousand men from the
traffic, has done a wonderful amount of good
In the way OF promoting sobriety among the
people.
Instead Of one thousand bsrrooms which
were kept open until late hour at night, Of
fering temptation to dram drinking, we now
have one hundred dispensaries where liquor
is sold in bottles not to be opened on the prem
ises. and these hundred places are closed at si1
o'clock.
II the dispensary law had done nothing else
than to close the saloons at six o'clock great
good would have been accomplished.
The habit Of treating is now thing Of the
past, and drunkenness is almost unknown.
The temptation to learn the drink habit has
been removed, and when this crop Of drunk
ards are gone, drunkenness will be reduced to
q minimum.

Honor to whom Honor is Due.

Read the account of Hon. I. q. McCalla's eff
forts in the Senate In behalf Of the people in
reference to insurance, and then give him q
vote OF thanks.
Feeble efforts in the past have been made
to enact law which would require the insur-
ance companies to pay the amount on which
they received premium, but the representa-
tives OF the insurance companies have had
their way, and such measures have been de.
feated.
We will watch with special interest the fate
OF the insurance bill in the House Of Repre-
seatatives, and we hope the voters of Able
Vile county at least may stand to the repre-
sentatives who represent their interests.

Our business houses did fair business In

imperial government has not taken and
does not intend to- take any general
measure of expulsion Of missionaries

Adjournment of Congress This Year
Promi.es to Be Unusually Early.
WASHINGTON, April l4.-An un-
usually early adjournment of congress
is being predicted by the Republican
leaders in both houses and every sign
points to the. fulfillment of their
prophesies No congress in many
years has made the record for the
transaction of routine business which
stands to the credit of the present one,
so far as the lower house is concerned
at any rate. With all of the regular
appropriation bills except two already
passed by the house, with one Of those
remaining reported from the commit
tee and likely to be passed with only a
day or two of debate, and with the
other in process Of preparation, house
leaders are placing
The Limit of This Session
at June /, allowing, as they think,
sufficient time for the senate to take
care of the important bills sent to it
from the house. No other business
except the regular appropriations is alb
solutely necessary to be done, and al
though the house may take up some
Of the more pressing Of the general
matters before it, such as the settle
ment of the Pacific railroad debts, the
statehood and bankruptcy bills, it is ex-
pected that many other minor mat
ters will be passed over in the interests
Of an early adjournment. It seems
probable that the house will have passed
the last Of the appropriation bills before
May 10. The senate committee ON ap-
preparations is
Well Up with Its Work
on the appropriation bills and the sen.
ate is not far behind its committee. It
10 the general opinion that the appro-
priation committee can complete its
work on the bills still to be considered
within three or four weeks time, and
that it is possible for the senate to fin
ish them by the middle of May. There
are some who estimate that it will re.
quire until June to accomplish this
result. No one puts it later. With the
appropriation bills out Of the way it
will be exceedingly difficult to hold the
senate in session for any purpose. Con-
sequently, the prevailing opinion in
the senate is that the final adjourn.
ment of the session will not be post.
