THE DISPE RY BILI.-The
Wheeling Registers special cores
pendent, writing from Charleston,
under date of the 9th ult., says ::
" Ex-senator John w. Arbuckle,
of Greenbrier, who prepared the liq-
uor dispensary bill, made an argu-
ment before the House judiciary
committee in support of the meas.
ure. Like the bill of Mr.. Rucker,
this one is also modelled after South
Carolina law. Mr.. Arbuckle spoke
at length on the working of the South
Carolina law, and referred to the re-
cent message of Governor Evans, of
that State, in which il was claimed
that since the law went into force
crime in the State had been greatly
reduced. He was aware of the fact
that the passage OF this bill would
cut off the revenue which the State
received FROM the license of saloon
Keepers, amounting to about Sl50,-
600 annually, but he was confident
that the profits arising from the sale
OF liquor by the State, together with
the large amounts the State would
save in criminal charges, would
more than compensate for whatever
the State might lose from saloon Ii.
cense. But suppose, he said, the
State should lose revenue by the ope.
ration OF the law, that should not he
taken into account if ii should pre-
vent crime"
This is the bill introduced by Col.
Harlow, of which mention was made
last week.

TWO causes are operating to deter
the best men in the Republican party
from entering the Mckinley Cabi-
net: First, the Major, as the cad
vance agent of prosperity" is al
ready discrcdited, and these long
headed politicians don't wish to share
the responsibility and odium of a
failure to bring back the good times
promised. Second, they hesitate to
attach themselves to an administra-
ton which they see must be largely
dominated by Mark Hanna, to whom
Mckinley is under peculiar personal
and political obligations.

n RESOLUTION was rejected in the
House of Delegates at Charleston
last week expressing it to be the
sense Of the body that strict economy
should be observed in making appro-
priations of public money. To say
the least, the rejection Of this reso-
luton was frank and honest. The
brethren don't intend to preach what
they don't propose to practice.

"THE FIRST BATTLE" MIR. Bry-
ans book" The First Battle"-
published by the w. b. Conkey Conn
pany, Of Chicago. is about ready for
distribution. The book embodies a
story of the campaign of 1896, its
important events and issues and in
cludes the most noteworthy incidents
Of Mr.. Bryan's famous tour. 1t also
contains the principal addresses and
documents relating to the silver
movement and some of Mr.. Bryan's
speeches. Considerable space is
given to his connection with the sill
yer agitation while in Congress and
prior 10 the Chicago convention and
to discussion Of the election re-
turns and an analysis OF the political
situation. One of the interesting
features of the book is the biograph-
zeal sketch written by Mrs. Bryan.
he First Battle" is dedicated to
the Hon. Richard p. Bland of Mis-.
souri,, Gen. JAS. b. Weaver of Iowa
and the Hon. Henry NJ. Teller or
Colorado.

Ir seems probable that the bill to
prevent lynching, prepared by At
torney- q enera elect Edgar p.
Rucker and modelled after the anti
lynch law of South Carolina, will be
passed by the Legislature and become
the law of this State. The bill pro-
vides that if a sheriff or other officer
who has in charge prisoner, is
proved to have been negligent in pro-
tecting such prisoner, he shall be de-
posed from Office and forever de-
barred from holding Office in the
State. 1t also makes the county in
which the lynching occurs liable for
damages.

FROM one Of our exchanges we
learn that Governor. elect Atkinson
has appointed his son as his Private
Secretary, the salary being 81 200.
We don't like nepotism in public Of
hcers as n rule, but don't feel dis
posed to complain particularly of
this appointment. A Private Secre.
tary holds a sort of confidential re-
lation to his chief, and there seems
to be no good reason why father
may not appoint his son to such a
position.

Arctic Alaska is the introduction and
utilizing of domestic reindeer. The deer is
to the far north what the camel is so
desert regions: the animal which God has
provided and adapted for the special con-
ditions which exist. The greater the de-
gree Of cold the better he thrives. Last
winter a party of reindeer hauling nine
sleds made days journey with the tenn
perature at - degrees below zero. A deer
with 800 pounds on the sled can travel up
