Goodbye to the Constables.

COLUMBIA, September 1.-The bright
new day in politics in this State Is shin
ing with unusual and unexpected splen-
dor. McLaurin's election seems to have
marked a distinctIvely new era SO far as
the d~ispensary is concerned. One Of the
sores OF the State, and one which has caus-
ed more friction than any other one thing
in the Last few years, has been the con-
stabuls.ry force. Senator Tillman has
said that the dispensary law could not
get along without the c~onstables; that
thew were the backbone Of the law. Gov
| ernor Ellerbe thinks differently, and to-
day announced that on the LIST Of October,
he would dismiss the entire constabulary
force. This was somewhat unexpected,
but in this day and time there are slips
| generally had begun to give up all hope
Of ever seeing the removal of the constab-
ulary system, which has caused SO many
riots and homicides and all manner of
disturbance of the peace of the State.
Matters had, perhaps, adjusted them
selves SO, and the people had been so &C.
| customed in the days of Tillman and
Evans to hope for no change that they
were taking the ~constabulary as best they
could.
To-day when the newspaper men went
| into the Executive office Governor FL
| lerbe said that he had a brief statementto
| make. He did not have anything special
ly prepared, but said in an off-hand man.
| ner: "On the lst Of October I expect to
withdraw all constables from towns and
cities. There will only be a few ccnsta.
bles retained to suppress blind tigers
and tho like. A few will be retained to
look after the county where there are no
police. The enforcement of the law will
be left entirely to the municipal authori-
ties, and I will ask their support and CO.
operation in enforcing the law"
Then Governor Ellerbe went on to spy
that the constabulary force cost the State
last wear $50, O36. G6, and this great expense
could very we'll be saved, and he thought
by securing the cooperation and sympa-
thy ofthe municipal authorities more sue
cess would be had in the enforcement Of
the law.
"The c%onstables will have nothing
whatever to dc with making raids, ar
rests or anything else in the towns and
cities of the State. Those matters will be
left entirely to the municipal authorities"
said Governor Ellerbe. He went on to say
that he gave out this statement to-day so
as to give the c%onstaoles about a months
time in which to secure other employ
ment.
Governor Ellerbe did not care to have
anything ia say on matters which might
be expected to bear upon the constahula-
ry situation.
So much for to-day at least. There
are now between forty-fiye and fifty mon
employed on the constsbuiary force,
about the same number that has been
employed all along.-News and Courier.

The report of Governor Franklin to the secretary of the interior has just been re- ceived from the government press It is a very voluminous work, containing 142 pages of matter exclusive of fifty five full page half-tone engravings, representing mining, agricultural and horticultural scenes and public buildings and streets. There are views from the Grand Canyon, mountain scenes and other pictures characteristic of almost every feature of Arlzona lite The report is a great deal more than an off ;ial report. It is prac- tically an industrial hist ory of the terri. tory from it's settlement to the present time. There is also a complete descrip tion of the developed resources and esti
 mates Of those that are undevelnnod It is altogether just what one deslr.ng ab- solutely complete information of Arizona should have. It contains also a complete map of the territory on scale of twenty miles to the inch, reconstructed and re- vised to date, showing location of United States surveyor-general's office, Indian reservations, military and forest reserva- tions, private land claims, confirmed and unconfrmed. The most and the least that can be said of the report is that there is no question which one unin- formed about Arizona might ask con- cerning the territory, that is not found in 1t. There are a great many things in It that even a curious person would not think of asking about, yet they are all of interest and value Republican.

According to dispatch in the New York Sun, the mayor of the town of Bowling Green, in the state of Ohio, had a peculiar duty to perform on Wedne5- day, and out of it has arisen a curious legal application. The mayor It seems, is judge of the police court of the town. On Tuesday night he celebrated" and !, looking too intently upon the wine when it was red and the beer when it was am. Der, he became gIoriously drunk. He was also disorderly and policeman ar rested and s'ran hIm in" After spend ing the night in the cells with the ordi- nary drunks, he became as sober by the next morning as a judge should be, ac- cording to the proverb.
 He opened court as usual and disposed of cases with dispatch. The first charge was one the judge preferred against him. self, namely for drunkenness He promptly found himself guilty and fined himself five dollars and costs. Then the question would naturally arise whether he got drunk in the capacity of judge or as private individual. And, if as the latter, whether the person of the judge can be separated from the court If not, he only went half way ii punishIng him. selt. In accusing the judge of drunken. ness he was clearly in contempt and should have imposed an additional fine for that additional off .nse, or have com. mitted himself to jail until he purged himself of contempt. Along with the swelled head and the headache next morning. it is scarcely to be doubted that the court felt decided contempt for himself.
