Rush seemed to imply that before we
could convict person Of selling intox-
icatirg liquors we must first prove that
the stun sold was intoxicating, and to
DO this we must drink 1t until intoxi-
Gated, so as to be able to testify as to
its effects. If that il the case, l fAn
afraid that we shall not make many
convictions IL we have to go that far.
But, doctor, you understand that the
decision of Justice Morrison carries with
it the virtual quashing of all present
complaints for the selling of liquor with
out a license. In that case, and seeing
that it is required to have evidence Of
several sales to convict, shall you again
resume your nocturnal trips to collec.
additional evidence?"
"No, think not at present. The case
just tried was one of our weakest. In
several of the others we will have the
necessary testimony to show three or
four sales and prove that a retail liquor
business Is being conducted. We know,
of course, that the liquor was sold, and
regret that our case should have been
upset by this technicality. We simply
let it go on as a test, and in our next
trial will take up one of the stronger
cases which had been unavoidably post
poned OF course, 1 suppose that in all
trials in the same court where the testi-
mony was substantially the same as
that just concluded the magistrate would
rule the same, and we shall file no more
complaints in Justice Morrison's court
at present"

THE EXPECTS OF CLIMATE.

A climate not necessarily unhealthy Of
ten proves so to those unaccustomed to it.
The acclimating process seems unusually
slow in some constitutions. There Is, how
ever, a medicinal means of acclimating it
OF which residents or sojourners in unac-
customed or malarious climates have not
been slow to avail themselves. Hcstetter's S
Stomach Bitters Is a medicinal safeguard
taton. which travellers. emigrants. tour
lists, mariners, and others whose tastes
and pursuits entail exposure, subjection
to changes OF temperature, unusual or un-
wholes ome diet or water and the fatigue
attendant upon long journeys by land or
sea, concur in pronounclng it reliable
agreeable and safe. AS remedy for dis
orders cf the liver stomach and bowels
very prevalent in malarious regions and
the tropics, as a preventive of fever and
asue, rheumatism and kidney troubles.
and as restorative of vigor, it is also held
In the highest estimation.

WHAT HE THINKS OF TT.
DR.. Mclean Not At All Disheartened
by the Result.

Over the telephone a conversation was
last night had with the Rev. Mclean, in
the course of which he expressed his
opinion of the result of the first decision
in the liquor selling cases
Neither myself nor my companions
are at all discouraged by the result"
said the doctor. THE case was decided
upon a technicality, and not upon its
merits, which has only Strengthened us
for future work. We are rather encour-
aged than otherwise. and shall go right
ahead with our work in the future. The
testimony was convincing that the
liquor was sold, and only because Of the
ruling that one sale cannot be construed
as proof of the conducting of business
as charged in the complaint, We're we
beaten.

Personal Fights.

We will be very sorry if in the
course of the campaign between
our county candidates, there forms
persona fight for election. Since
we have been i'm the nGwspa per
business we have avoided personal
encounters between candidates
during campaigns, and we are here
to carry out this purpose. We will
espouse the great principles of the
party and seek to correct the er-
roneous views ofthe opposition, but
to engage in the art of mud sling
ing we will not. We have no mud,
and we do not propose to mix up
any for singing purposes. If our
candidates wish to give and receive
in personal encounters they must
bear their own fight on that line.
We will fight for them teeth and
toe nail as journalist in tho cause
of Democracy and good COVE n
ment, which we believe to be the
right, but we will not hurl dirty
dirt at the opposition and we know
our candidates would not ask such
a thing. You can not call men
"paupers, dagos and convicts" and
convince them to vote for you.
They must be reasoned with as
gentlemen as they are, and great
deal more is accomplished. Our
ticket is composed of among the
best men in Hooking county, and
we fight for them because they are
the choice of our party, because
they are most thoroughly capable
of filling the positions. because
they are the local representatives
of a ticket that we believe must
prevail else this country sinks to
irreparable despotism. We will
dig and struggle in their behalf in
the right, but as for habitation in
journalistic sewers, we don't live
there.
