After Saloon Men.

The barkeepers of Alabama are re- uuired to take out new license on January 1, and the law requires that each application for license to do busi- ness as a retail liquor dealer shall be signed by thenty householders and free holders, residents of the beat in which the business Is to be carried on. For the past two weeks the barkeepers have been busy getting up the signatures, and yes terday. when one of the most prominent barkeepers in the city went to the pro- bate court to file his application for li- cense, he was cautioned to see that ev- cry signature on his list of twenty was the name of householder and free holder. He was also informed that prominent minister here had expressed a. determination to give every application rigid examination, and stated that he would prosecute any barkeeper to whom a license was issued whose application contained the names of persons not ac- tually househoders and freeholders, residents of the beat. This threat has caused considerable strong talk among the saloon men.

State of Alabama, Executive Department,

Off1ce Of the Governor,
 Montgomery, Dec. 50. 1895.
 My Dear Sir: Applications have been flied with me by the following named gentlemen for appointment as solicitor of Jefferson county, upon the supposition that the office Is now vacant, to-wit: Lee c. Bradley, H. II. Brown, John Mcqueen, II. P. Hefiin, l.. Y. Lipscomb, R. l.. Brooks, John D. Strange and John E. Miles. After these applications were filed I investigated the question as to whether there was any vacancy. The only evidence in my possession is let ter from the wife of Mr. Little saying that her husband had directed her to tender to me his resignation of the said office. Not doubling for q moment that MT. Little expressed such desire to his wife, on examination of the authorities 1 am constrained to hold that she could not thus resign his office for him, and from the information l have l do not think that his mental condition is such as to enable him by his own act, which would be binding in law, to tender his resignation. There is therefore no va cancy to be filled. Under the statutes his assistant. MT. Bradley, and MT. Fer guson, the solicitor for the Tenth circuit, have full authority to carry on prosecu- tions in the criminal court in Jefferson county in the name of MT. Little, as has been done heretofore or in the name of MT. Ferguson, as provided in the stat utes I find nothing In our statutory law which provides for case of this kind. It seems to be a caSus omissus on the part of the legislature, but the prosecutions can proceed and MT. Little's salary, if his wife Is so disposed, can be given to the assistant solicitors to do the work of the office until the disability of MT. Little is removed
 Under these circumstances I deem it but fair and right to return to each of the applicants the petitions and letters of recommendations which I have re- ceived, so that, should a vacancy at any time actually occur, all the gentlemen may have an equal chance to present their claims. Very respectfully,
 VIM C. OATES
