Saloons In Manila.

The impure water Of Manila anc
Cavite is largely responsible for 60
many saloons, as it is unfit for use
unless boiled and filtered. The
muddy Potomac is pure in com.
parison.
American soldiers were warned
not to drink this water unless
boiled, and if caught violating the
order they were subject to a court
martial. The temperance drinks
sold at the average bar were oil
local manufacture and equally as
dangerous to health as the water.
American ginger ale was sold b.
the commissary, but it was not al
ways obtainable. That is the
principal reason why so much beer
is consumed by the Americans in
Manila.
Now that the army canteen is
abolished we look for large death
list regularly from the islands, as
the men will quench their thirst,
which is chronic in the tropics,
with native drinks. The temper.
ate soldiers will not be able to pet
their iced ginger ale, as a canteen
run on strictly temperance princl-
Piles cannot support itself.

Beers WIN FightOn.

Gen. Louis Botha, the com,
mander-in. chief OF the Boer forces,
has rejected the peace terms pro-
posed by Lord Kitchener, and it
may be assumed that the war will
now be fought to a finish. The
London press has for some time
been more optimistic than the cir
cumstances warranted and plainly
OF the opinion that the burghers
were weary Of the conflict and
would welcome an opportunity to
terminate the war. Englishmen
who should have known better
have all along underestimated the
tenacIty OF the Beers, their extra
ordinary fighting qualities and
their determination to be a free
and independent people. For more
than II months they have held out
against overwhelming odds rather
than submit to British supremacy
and the extinction oithe republics.
That their devotion TO their cause
is to be rewarded with success will
be bold prediction. The British
Government is hurrying troops
to South Africa, and the reinforce
ments which will be sent by April
I will, not including the 2oo, 600
British troops already engaged, far
exceed the total number Of Beers
in the field. IfGreat Britain should
become involved in a war with
power like Russia the Beers would
have an excellent chance to win
their independence. But British
policy at this time appears to be
directed toward avoiding comDli-
cations at any cost. The position
OF Great Britain is not unlike that
OF the United States during the
Civil War, when Captain Wilkes,
OF the San Jacinto, took the Con-
federate State Commissioners from
the Trent, vessel flying the Brit
Ish flag. The British Goveru ment
then made certain demands upon
the Government Of the United
States, to which the latter would
never have submitted under ordi-
nary conditions. This Govern
ment could not afford to go to war
with Great Britain at time when
all its resources were required to
cope with the South. The British

Brewers and the wsrT.r.

Discussion Of the War Revenue
bill in the last Congress was lin
tied through fear that the whole
scheme OF taxation would be at
tackled. Every days mail brings
evidence to this Office that dissat-
isfaction with the beer tax will be
brought to the attention oil Con-
gress next December, no matter
how much controversy may be
provoked. Brewers were not
treated fairly and they propose to
make their complaints known.
They have found cut that unless
they kick they are bound to be
kicked, and they propose to take
a hand in the game themselves.

A Test Case Involving RockviIIe's
Local Option Law,

Local Option Law.
In the Circuit Court for Mont
gomery County. Md, last We'd
nesday, a case was tried OF consid-
erable interest to brewing COM
panies having branches in Wash
ington which do business in that
county in the way Of supplying
liquors OF all kinds to the persons
running speakeasies there. The
question whether a brewing COM
Pany can C. llect for liquor sold
thus was raised in the case Of the
Christian MoerIein Brewing Company,
a corporation, against Harry Kohlhoss,
as the case stood below.
The account in this case showed that
there was balance due the company
OF about so. The justice Of the peace,
Clifford II, Robertson, before whom the
case was tried, gave judgment in favor
OF the company.
The defendant appealed, and the case
went to the court as the first to establish
a precedent in that county along this
line. Robert B. Peter represented the
appellee company, and when the legality
and question of enforcement of the
contract for the purchase Of the liquor
was raised by the other side, he con.
tended that the contract was consurn. |
mated when the goods were put in the
possession OF the carrier, the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, az Washington city. |
and that the contract did not apply, as |
commended by the appellant, to that
county.
The attorneys for the appellant, <. c.
Peters and Alexander Kilgour, con-
tended that # the company sold the
liquor with the knowledge that the laws
OF the county were being violated. the
collection oi the bill could not be
enforced Mr.. KOhlhoss does not dis.
pute the correctness Of the account. but
refuses to pay simply because he is
advised that he cannot be made TO pay. |

StuYvesant is burgomaster OF New Am

by being harassed on one side by the
Swedish and British settlers, and on

arrival of the good ship Bitten, on
which he expects his successor, Judge

his own reappointment. He has pre-.
viously arranged a ''pow WOW" with the
Indians, and has prepared a cask Of
drugged liquor as part of the function.
In his despair, be and Doodle imbibe
rather largely, and, in error, drink from
the drugged cask. They immediately
fall into profound slumber, from which
they are not awakened until the year
