SOUTH CAROLINA'S DISPENSA-
IsIES

We quote the following from the Col
umba, 5. c., State:
Down I'm South Carolina the scandal
over the official bar-room has developed
into a continuous performance, with Ben
Tillman in the role Of the piano player

pensary proceedings. If he is at the piano
he IS not striking the keys Perhaps he

is IL that the father OF the dispensary."

so obviously dumb? Where does ne
stand? Who is he for? We do not often
care TO hear from him. but just now we
would ike to know what he thinks Of his
work.
All this goes 10 show that there is
great deal in the administration Of the
dispensary System which is utterly UNI
known 10 the mass Of voters. We have
heard ourselves numbers of rumors and
indeed statements Of personal profit de-
rived from the dispensary by the powers
that be in South Carolina. and in view
OF this continued clamor II seems evident
that the corruption which Is said TO have
existed in connection with the dispensary
will sooner or later be exposed, If it really
existed 70 the extent alleged.
II would not be well TO draw n con-
clusion from these facts that il is impos-
slble to run an honest dispensary system
by state, for this is not the case. There
are Ssste systems In Europe controlling
the liquor traffic which have proved sat-
isfactory and honest But IL does show

LAWS FOR PORTO RICO.
Work Upon which the InsuIar COm-
mission lis Engaged.

The insular commission, composed OF
Judge Carter, Gen. Kennedy and Maj. Wat
kins, has been occupying the time since the
fairs of Porto Rico in drafting code OF
laws for the island. These laws will cover
the general and local administration of the
island and are being prepared with the ex-
pectation that they will be made applicable
to the island by the War Department until
Congress can enact others. If not, they
can be used for the guidance Of Congress
in enacting laws. The criminal and civil
laws of the United States are Incorporated
judicial system is included, with local and
appellate courts, from whose decisions APP
peal can be made TO the Supreme Court OF
the United States last resort. A sys-
TEN of assessment and taxation following
closely the Michigan law is included. Rail-
roads and telephone property will be APP
praised and taxed according to the value Of
the property. Railroads will be Incorporate
ed according to the laws of Ohio or Iowa,
it has not been determined which.
The main difficulty now in the way Of the
completion of this work of the commission
is that its life expires by limitation July /.
The commission is being paid out Of the
balance of the $50, 100000 emergency fund
appropriated by Congress for the war with
Spain and the unused balance OF the APP
preparation must be back into the treas
ury on July l. 1t is probable that way
will be found to continue the commission
after that date under new name until its
work is completed. 1t is suggested that it
might be paid out of the revenues of Porto
Rico As its labors have been wholly con-
fined to that island.

TO DISCONTINUE WARNINGS.
Request of Weather bureau Regard.
ing Service at Manila.

In view of a public presentation and crit
lclsm, through the medium of printed cir
cular issued by the director of the Manila
central observatory. of action taken by the
United States government in suspending all
Geographic typhoon warnings made by tho
Manila observatory for points outside OF tho
Philippines, Mr.. Willis l.. Moore chief OF
the weather bureau. has made public a
statement of the facts and circumstances
which led up to the action taken by the
United States authorities.
In a communication dated November g.
1888, DR.. w. Doaberck, director of the Hong
Kong observatory, informed the chief OF
the United States weather bureau that the
Manila observatory was continually COM
municating sensational typhoon warnings
to the newspapers in Hong Kong and that
as this action was against international
regulations laid down for the guidance OF
meteorological authorities, which prohibit
an authority in one country to issue storm
warnings for another country, he desired
and recommended that the American gov
eminent of the Philippines put a stop to
this irregularity which interfered so ma,
terially with the work of the Hong Kong
observatory.
Acting upon the recommendation made by
DIR. Doaberck, and approved by the chief OF
the United States weather bureau, Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Wilson requested the
Secretary of War to provide for discontin-
uing Geographic typhoon warnings from
Manila observatory to points outside of the
Philippine Islands. The position taken by
the United States authorities was that the
Manila observatory was improperly inter-
ferng with the British observatory by send
ing warnings into the territory covered by
the observatory at Hong Kong, and that
warnings Of this character should not be
sent except upon the request of the British
