The DIspensary Question.

The state dispensary law, or rather
the voting of dispensary amendment
to the state constitution, is about the
worst thing the people Of the state have
ever done, says tine Sioux Falls Jour
nal. The fact that the amendment car
ried was an accident, for the majority
Of the people of the state are against
any such fool measure, and do not care
to have so costly an experiment as South
Carolina has enjoyed during recent
years The amendment carried, how
ever, by small vote, and the legisla-
ture is now wrestling with the problem
to the best Of their ability. Attorney
General Pyle has held or intimate that
he would hold. that the dispensary law
is apolice regulation and cannot be ref.
erendumed, which means that no ap.
peal to the people can be taken from it
as has been expected would be the
case. AS matters now stand it would
seem there is only one thing for the
legislature TO do, ard that is to resnb-
NIT the question of the dispenary
amendment to the people and get full
expression from the voters as TO wheth-
er or not they desire such system of
liquor regulation to be enforced in this
state. There will be no question of the
outcome when the amendments to the
constitution are placed on separate
ballot, as will be the case in the next
election. For the past two years there
has been no friction or trouble oyer the
license law in force, and 1t has given en-
tire satisfaction to all the people, with
the possible exception of a few hide
bound cranks who think mans appe-
tite can be regulated by law.

While it Is not yet generally admitted
the indications are growing stronger
that the legislature will adjourn without
enacting a dispensary law, says special
Of the 22nd. No scheme has yet been
advanced by which the law could be put
into effect without an enormous expense
and the state is now bonded so near the
limit Of Indebtedness that it is impos
sible to devise an method to meet the

The investigation of the charges oi
General Miles, that bad beef had been
furnished to the soldiers, Is still under
way. A great many army officers have
been put upon the stand and all withou,
except on have testified that the beei
furnished was bad and unfit for men to
eat. This applies particularly TO the
canned beef 1t looks as If General
Miles was coming out victorious in this
fight, and the white wash brush will
not be able to cover up the rottenness
which is fostering somewhere; and
needs to be lanced.
