AS TO THE LICENSES.
Peculiar Phase OF the Dispensary
Situation.
Columbia State.

Columbia State.
The talk Of Mayor Evans of Newberrv
before the State board Of control i'm re-
gard to the revenue to the cities and
towLs from the disDenslriCs as again, =,
the original package stores has caused
considerable discus, sion in dispcnsary
ana legal circles auout this phas. OF
the dlspensary situation in the State.
All over the State the original pack
age stores are being opened up ana il
very short order, it is safe to SAY. thcv
Will be In operation in nearly every
town in the State. They cannot. it
appears, be licensed and there seems
to be no way in which the city and
town councils can gctany revenue from
them. The dispcnSary law repealed
the license law and leading ATTORNEY
SAID, when his attention was called to
the fact that the councils OF several
towns were passing license ordinances
directed at snch places, that while
some may claim that the towns have a
rlght TO pass such ordinances and col
lcct Licenses from the prODrctors of
such places, Judge S!mOntOn's decision
meant that such dealers were merely
merchants and ii any license at all was
imposed it could not in any event @,
cecd that paid by Il dry goods, grocery
or othe. merchant in proportion to the
volume of business done. The decision.
he said, removed liquor from the DO.
lice regulation entirely and that rcgu-
lation under which all previous hiph
licenses were imposed cannot be called
upon now. In his opinion, there was
absolutely no way in which the towns
could legally pass license ordinances
directed against such stores.
On the other hand, an attorney
equally prominent stated that, In his
opinion, the State Constitution gave
the cities and towns the right to pass
such ordinances and collect licenses.
Under the provisions Of the Constitu-
tion he thought that the towns and
cities-all Incorporated towns, in fact
had ample power to pass such ordin-
ances and collect revenue from these
stores.
Another point raised against the
| possibility OF imposing licenses on orig.
inal package stores is that the dispen.
sary IL in the liquor business and nc
! license could be imposed upon any ono
for selling liquor without the dispen.
sarics being required also to paw that
license. The dispensary is as much q
liquor dealer as the original package
man, and the ordinance, if passed
would have to apply to 5oth. So there
you are.
The matter is very generally discuss
ed, but there seems to beso much doub
that in all probability u test case viii
be made In some town to ascertain wha
power the cities and towns will have

INSANITY INCREASES WITH EDUCA-
TlON.-lhc Medical Record, after a
review OF the English statistics, con-
cludes that Iunacy is really increasing.
III Is not increasing at the rate which
the figures on their face might be
thought TO Indicate. Thus the number
OF lunatics in hospitals increased in
kOgland between lS62 and 1895 from
2O2 per 10000 inhabitants to BIS: in
Scotland they increased from , Ul per
lO,OOO inhabitants to 3.39. Similar flo.
urcs have beer collected Tor Germany,
france and other continental countries.
The more backward the country in
education, in industrial standing and
in social complexity, the fewer the
lunhtlcs. TO put it the other way, an
increase in lunacy would appear TO be
i part OF the price which people pay
Tor civilization. The figures for
suicide and lunacy increase on roughly
parallel lines.
But this increase is by no means SO
great as the hospital returns would
seem to intimate. In the modern
hospitals the chronic insane are con-
unuaIiy accommodating. Undcr the
modern system the rate Of mortality is
diminished. In earlier days it was
unknown that insanity is Il disease, or
Il symptom OF disease, that is capable
OF cure, and this ignorance to Il certain
extent prevails in the backward coun-
tries today. Now that asylums are re-
cogniIcd as hospitals instead Of y. is
ons, they contain inmates who former
ly were not counted as lunatics. One
other observation is worthy Of attcn-
tion. The increase in Iunatics in Eng
land is mainly in the paupcr class.
This is probably due in part to re-
cognitton on the part OF that class of
benefits Of being in u hospital. At the
same time the sinister suggestion will
Obtruda itself that that class may now
mbracc an increased number of re-
cruits from the classes that are unable
TO support tho trials Of destitution. =.
