A SWEEPING press law has been pro

A SWEEPING press law has been pro-
claimed for China by the Dowager En-
press. ''Since the newspapers only
serve to stir up the masses, she de-
clares, "and to overthrow the existing
order of things, and since newspaper
writer's are the dregs of the literary
class. the continuance Of such danger
Gus implements can result in no good.
We hereby order, therefore, the com
plete suppression and cessation Of all
newspapers that have hitherto appeared
in the empire; all publishers and edl-
tors will be arrested and punished with
the utmost severitw Of the law. The
decree affects Sc Chinese newspapers.

To do him exact justice dc not be-
lieve that Ellerbe has acted spontane-
ously in this matter, but under dire
compulsion; that he has taken what he
considers the safest choice between
evils. l belive that Senator Tillman
holds his written pledge to support the
dispensary, in terms more specific than
those of his letter to me-or else some
paper the publication Of which would
damn him. Tillman, | am informed,
was here last week and week before

feet year ago and it is quite likely
that he put his collar on him again the
other day
However that may be, plead guilty
to being cheated. | expected to be lied
to. but I did not expect to be brazenly
swindled. l did not think that W. H..
Ellerbe would adopt the device Of
sneaking out of an obligation in writing
by accusing men who had been almost
his only friends Of bad faith toward him
and toward me. Messrs. Weston and
Neal will doubtless speak for them,
selves; I have refrained from quoting
them as to the statements Gov. Eller-
be made to them. My own story is toe
long.
Meanwhile Mr. Weston is a member ci
the House of Representatives and viii!

views on the liquor question; and the

The Origin Of This Fasorite Sport OF
Childhood and Youth.

The Origin Of This Fasorite Sport OF
Childhood and Youth.
This fa7orite sport Of childhood and;
youth is of French origin and very high
antiquity, having been introduced into
England in the train Of the Norman
conquerors. It's French name, "Colin
MaiIlard, was that Of a brave warrior,
the memory Of whose exploits still lives
in the chronicles of the middle ages.
In the year 999 Liege reckoned among;
its valiant chiefs one Jean Colin. He
acquired the name Mail1ard from his.
chosen weapon being amallet, where
with in fight he used literally to crush
his opponents. In one Of the fsuda
which were Of perpetual recurrence IN
those times he encountered the Count
de Lourain in pitched battle, and, so
runs the story, in the first onset Colin
Maillard lost both his eyes. He ordered
his esquire to take him into the thickest
of the fight, and, furiously brandishing
his mallet, did such fearful execution
that victory soon declared itself for him.
When Robert Of France heard Of these,
feats at arms, he layished favors and
honors upon Colin, and SO great wars
the fame of she exploit that it was oom-
memorated in the pantomimic repre-
sentations that formed part Of the rude
dramatic performances Of the age. By
degrees the children learned to act it
for themselves, and it took the form Of.
a familiar sport.
The blindfolded pursuer, as, with
bandaged eyes and extended hands, he
gropes for a victim to pounce upon,
seems in some degree to repeat the &C
tion Of Colin Maillard, the tradition oe
which is also traceable in the name,

A NEWSPAPER compilation of rail
way accidents in the United States
during 1898 states that the number OF
lives lost, from these causes was 5,ooo,
compared with 1854 in 1897, and that
the number of seriously Injured was =
GIG. as against 2,42S in the previous
year These figures evidently include
all sorts Of accidents resulting from the
operation Of railways, a very small part
Of which affect the travelling public.
The past wear has been comparatively
free from railway horrors, although
there are recorded eight deplorable ac.
c;deuts in which the number OF killed
aggregated SO with as many injured.

the matter of profit or to anything other
than to teach the people to use whiskey
without abusing it, and to minimise, as
for as possible, the evils inseparably con-
nected with it's tarfic and use. More
over, under the present system, the
State Commissioner is mere fgurehead
without power and almost without
duties. The State Board of Control
have absorbed nearly al Of his func-
tions
I submit what seems to me to be the
best plan Of organization: The details
of the business should be turned over
to the State Commissioner, while the
Board of Control should have authority
,e purchase liquors and TO exercise gen.
eral supervision over the whole system.
The Board Of Control should be ap-
pointed by the Governor, with the ad-
vice and consent OF the Senate, and the
constables should be appointed by the
Board of Control and State Commis-
sioner. # objection is made, it may
be pointed out that the regents of the
Hospital for the Insane are appointed
by the Governor, and the management
Of the institution is excellent. Note,
also, the members of the present Board
of Control are not even required to give
bond for the faithful performance OF
duty, yet they have absolute control OF
an institution doing annually million
and half dollar business.
The County Boards of Control
should be abolished, and two or three
inspectors should be appointed to look
after the Dispensers books and break
age. This would be much more eco
nomical method than the one now pur-
sued. This system or organization, to-
gether with the supervision OF the
grand iuries, would reduce peculatlon
