LIQUOR AND q. s. COURTS.

Hon Emory Speer, in his charge to
the grand jury in Macon, declares that
he has received q great many letters
from ministers of the gospel and dis
tressed wives, urging the severe en-
forcement of the internal revenue laws
These illicit distillers, the petitioners
state, were becoming drunkards them
solver and debauching. Others.
Judge Speer had to explain to the
grand jury, however, that the United
States court could not be moved by
moral or sentimental considerations.
The only concern of the Federal judi
cary was in enforcing the collection of
the taxes. Judge Speer insisted that
the state courts had it in their power
to advance the cause of temperance.
The Federal judiciary does not under
take to make man sober or temper
ate. It does undertaken to make him
pay his taxes to the national treasury
and to impose upon HIM penalties for
illegal manufacture aud sale of strong
drink. Judge Speer added, however,
that the court would be very happy if
incidentally, it could neutrallze the
evil effects of liquor upon the people
He stated that the grand jurors might
allow their vigilance to be quickened ii
they found that the illicit distilIer was
demoralizing to labor, degrading to the
farming population, infaming beastIy
appetites, and adding to crime in Sc.
cluded rural communities, which leads
in some cases to lynch law.
It is fact that men in prohibition
counties of Georgia will risk breakins
the state law against the manufacture
and sale of liquor, but always dread al
jnfractIon of the Federal law. It ma,
be that penalties in United State
courts are more severe, that It's mar
shals and deputies are more vigilant
or that the laws are more rigorous. A
all events it used to be the case tina
men would take out license for thu
manufacture and sale of liquor in
prohibition county and run the risk 0
offending the state laws. For thi
reason, perhaps, appeals were made t.
Judge Speer to administer the law un
sparingly against blockade dlstillers
Judge Speer, while correctly stating
the genius and motives of Federal laws
was not unmindful of the motive of tn,
appeal made by the people to take n,
stock in the illicit fic.-Savannal

Scientists are again engaged in fig.
uring ont the probable duration of the
coal supply of the world, and as might
be expected, they differ wisely in their
estimates. There are SO many things
to be taken into consideration in spec.
ulations of this nature that it is not
at all surprising to find wide differ
ences of opinion or Judgment. For ex-
ample, one investigator predicts that
England's supply will last 100 years,
and another puts it up to $50 years. AS
neither of them will be on earth to
learn whether they are correct or moi
1t doesn't really make much difference
to them.

THE McDoNALD,s LONG TRIP.

SAN FRANCISCO, Marchc 27.-Re-
insurance on the American ship John
Mcdonald, instead of advancing, de-
clined yesterday per cent and Is n w
quoted at so per cent. The ship is out
109 days from Baltimore for San Fran
cisco, and has not been spoken since
December 9th last, off Cape Horn. The
master, Captain Seymour Watts, has
been in dire straits before, and those
who know him say that the mere dis
masting of his vessel in a storm would
not prevent him from ultimately reach
ing his destination. A few years ago.
while bound to Calcutta, his ship was
totally dismasted by a Mauritlus hurri-
cane, said by mariners who have ex-
perienced them, to be the worst that
blow but Captain Watts succeeded in
making a port 300 miles away, unaided
and with the cargo in perfect order
Captain Watts was last on this coast
in the bark Pactolus, now commanded
by his brother.
The British ship Eaton Hail. overdue
on the voyage from Tacoma for Callao,
has been listed at the Merchants Ex-
change at rs per cent.

FREE SCHOOLROOKS.

Among the many school bills intro
duced in the present Legislature there
are three or four which provide for free
textbooks in the public schools. Some
of these bills contemplate uniformity
in schoolbooks, provide for a board of
commissioners and for letting con-
tracts. One of them provides for state
printinP in the penitentiaries, in case
satisfactory contracts cannot be made.
House bill No. 232, introduced by Rep
resentative Heffernan, without disturb
ing the present machinery of the
schools, provides that free textbooks
shall be furnished to all pupils, such
books to be purchased by school boards
just as are any other supplies. The bill
does not leave this optional, but makes
it compulsory on all school boards.
Eleven states now have compulsory
free textbook laws. They are Delaware,
which passed it's law in 1891; Idaho,
1898; Maine, 1891; Maryland, 1896; Mas
sachusetts, 1888; Nebraska, 1891; New
Hampshire, 1890; New Jersey, 1894;
Pennsylvania, 1893; Rhode Island, 1893;
Vermont, 1895. All of these except De-
laware, Maine and Maryland include in
the free list all school supplies of what
ever nature. In most of these states
the compulsory statute was preceded
by an optional one under which the
system became SO popular as to call
for the broader law. There are thirteen
states having a local option free text
book law, and in each of these states
the number of free districts is rapidly
increasing. In 1897 Michigan had 1879
districts furnishing schoolbooks free;
in 1900 it had 685 such districts Be
tween 1894 and 1897 3,704 towns and dis
tricts in Minnesota adopted free text
books The optional free states are
Colorado 1896; Connecticut 1886; Iowa,
1896; Kansas, 1897; Mihigan, 1883; Min
1864, for union free school districts
only; North Dakota, 1895 Ohio, 1894
South Dakota 1897; Washington, 1897 !;
Wisconsin, 1887. Many of these states
also have uniformity of textbooks,
either county or state. The only states
that have no textbook legislation of any
character whatever are Arkansas, Ala
bama, Florida and Illinois, and in Flo
rida the county officials, by common
consent got together in 1888 and adopt
ed uniform series of textbooks, with
five-year contracts, all but three coun-
ties joining the agreement, and these
three counties adopted free textbooks.
