RUSSIA As A LIQUOR DEALER.

Public Treasury

Profits OF the Traffic Diverted to the
Public Treasury.
In Russia the wealth of tfo naasan+rv
does not keep pace with the increased
demands Oh the national exchequer and
the temperance reform, like the Cars
peace resclipt, had, first Of ALL tinan-
c.al basis.
IN Russia, as in England. the cash
value Of liquor licenses is enormous aDd
the first object OF the state monopoly
was TO secure for the empire the vast
revenue CT unearned increment which for
generatio had found its way into the
pockets OF the publicans.
Two objects have been kept III view
.nfoughout, says government report,
firstly, to obtain for the benefit OF the
state the largest possible amount Of rev
e ,! from this trade. and, secondly, to
diminish drunkenness
1t is not the simplest thing in the
word tor state to dispossess q great
cody OF men CT authority which they
have come to regard as their natural
tl2ht; but Russia, beginning on a small,
experimental scale, had little difficulty i'll
publican and left the public house. Then,
stepping behind the counter, the govern
menr became sole proprietor.
Government shops and depots were
opened, at which all spirits We're sold in
sealed bottles, not to be opened on the
price, quantity and alcoholic strength Of
the contents. No corkscrews are al
lowed in the shops Consumption on the
premises is forbidden in government
shops, but is allowed, under certain con-
ditions in other places-in restaurants,
railway stations, etc.

BLOW TO MONEY SHARKS.
Judge Dunno Decides City Employees
Cannot Assign Salaries.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 27.-Judge Dunno
delivered decision yesterday that de-
stroys the business of money lenders who
loan money on salaries of city employees.
He held that it is contrary to public pol
icy for city employees to assign their sal
aries, and without such assignment the
money lenders have no security for the
payment Of their claims.
The decision was rendered in the case
of Policeman John d. Cornell, who
brought a suit in mandamus to compel
City Treasurer Ortseifen to pay him
three months salary withheld on account
Of an assignment Of his wages. Counsel
fer Cornell proved that the assignment
had been made before the wages were
earned, and jury gave the policeman q
judgment for the amount Of his salary.
