A Spanish Gun for Each State.

The War Department has solved the
question as to the disposition Of the
artillery captured from Spaiu IN Cuba
and Porto Rico by turning the whole
matter over to the Governors OF the
States, Verv many applications have
been received at the Department Tor the
gift or loan Of these guns, and the
pressure has been renewed since the
Navy Department made known the fact
that all its guns had been disposed OF.
The law under which these guns can be
distributed provides that they may go
only to the soldiers monument associa-
tions, Grand Army posts, and municipal
corporations. One gun will be allotted
to each State, and the Governor is asked
to decide what disposition shall be made

Camp Of Confederate Veterans Of Vir'
glnia met at Richmond last Monday
night for the purpose of receiving
reports from its members and others
criticlslng school histories on the
Virginia public school book list which
had been assigned to them for review.
Rev. DR. B. Tucker, of Norfolk; Capt
Bishop, of Petersburg, and r A. Brock,
ofRichmond, submitted papers severely
criticising one OF the leading histories
in use on the ground OF its unfairness to
the South, though admitting its literary
excellence. Other reports also raised
objections to another history. A resolu-
ton was adopted declaring against the
use of these books in the public or
private schools of Virginia, and asking
the Grand Camp to urge the State Board

MlssOuris Beer Bill.

The Governor ofthe State Of Missouri
has finally signed the famous beer bill,
1t places a tax OF cent a gallon on oil
beer sold in Missouri.
Tudge Cooley, an undisPuted legal
authority, says that products from one
State sent into another State can be
taxe,l for insp ction under the police
powers Of the State, but cannot be taxed
to raise revenue in the State where
they are sold, as it interieres with
interstate commerce.
If that principle be applied then
foreign beer cannot be taxed for revenue
in Missouri, but beer made in the State
can be taxed and, unless the whole law
is knocked out, the Missouri brewers
will be required to stand a tax, While
outsiders goods will be untaxed.

ST. LOUIS SUNDAY CRUSADE A FAILURE.
A few weeks ago a spasmOdic crusade
against Sunday opening Of saloons was
instituted at ST. Louis, Mo-, and
hundreds OF arrests were made. The
crusaders certainly had the strict letter
Of the law upon their side, but the law
being imposed from without by the
State, and not rehecting the state ot
public opinion in the great metropolitan
city the law was set aside by the force
of public opinion, and this is sure to
happen in every case, for what. is law
after all but the crystalzation end con-
crete expression of public opinion. 1t
IS now announced by the city authorities
that there will be no further prosecution
OF saloon keepers, on the charge OF
v olating the Sunday law, unless the
case be one more than ordinarily flag
rant, and the cases now pending in the
court OF Criminal Correction will be
dismissed as fast as they are reached.
