THE MANN BILL.

The Mann liquor law went into effect
May / and liquor dealers who failed to
secure licenses on or before that date
either had TO close or sellillegally. The
reports from over the State are just be-
ginning to show the decisive effect OF
this bill. The bulk of all the saloons in
rural parts have been closed, and per-
haps 20 per cent. of all the barrooms in
cities and towns are out of business, in
the latter case due to high license.
The feeling possessed the people OF
Virginia that the liquor dealers had
abused their privileges and assumed too
great control in political matters. The
result was manifested generally in the
passage of the Mann bill, and locally in
the raising of the liquor licensein nearly
every town and city in the common
wealth, and the refusal of the voters in
the rural districts to give their indorse-
ment to liquor dealers applying to the
court for renewal of license.
There are 81 less barrooms in Rich
mond than last year, and the percentage
of decrease in the smaller towns is even
larger.
4 few barkeepers in the country have
so conducted their places as to win the
confidence of the people oftheir districts,
and have secured a majority of the voters
to their petitions, but the number is
small.
In some case, even where petitions
have been presented, the judge has re-
fused to grant license on the ground that
to do so was against public policy and
injurious to the morals of that locality.
In the town of Stuart the saloons are
closed, though the liquor men claim to
have petitions signed by majority OF
the qualified voters of the town. The
Judge refused to grant licenses, and the
liquor men have appealed to the Circuit
Court.
Sunday selling has ceased completely
in Richmond, and the remarkable tenn
perance wave which is sweeping the
State from end to end is shown in many
WAYS.

War Imminent ?

Victoria, B. c., May 5. Alarming
advices have been received from the
Orient by the steamer Orient, which
has Just arrived from Yokohama. Both
Japan and Russia are rushing warlike
preparations on large scale, warships
are being held in readiness at Vladivos-
tick and Yokohama for hOstilities in
& ..ichuria. The whole trend of the
news is warlike in the extreme. The
military officer who has just returned
from New Chwang is quoted by the Jill
Shemo as saying that according to all
appearance Russia is undoubtedly pre-
pairing for war in Manchuria and great
alarm is felt at New Chwang. The Off
Ger also states that Russians detained
the Mukden Taotai to prevent his APP
pearance at New Chwang in order to
seize ports on the pretext furnished by
his non-arrivaI Dispatches are printed
by japanese papers to the effect that a
siege has been declared by the Russian
authorities at Talien and Kinchow and
thence on the Yalu river. Military
manoeuvres are taking place, involving
many tents and much field work. The Rus
slams assert that the movement is attrib-
utable to the strained relations between
Russia and Japan.

TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 5, 1908.

SHORTLY after the passage OF the
Mckinley tariff bill, several years ago.
q German comic paper published car
toon representing a sudden change in the
statue of Liberty at the entrance to the
port of New York. Instead Of Liberty en-
tightening the world there was huge key
instead of a head on the shoulders OF the
statue, signifying, Of course, that the
products of other nations were virtually
locked out of what in theory is known
as the Gland of the free and the home OF
the brave" A comic paper OF this
country has this week pictured the
nedestal with walking delegate
mounted on it in place Of the Goddess oil
Liberty. The cartoon represents this
individual with spikes protruding from
his caputical covering and cigar ID a
perpendicular position in his mouth
The picture suggests volume OF food
for thought. Greece of old had a
statue Of Jupiter at the entrance to
nearly every city, and the United States
nav in time have Goddesses of Liberty
on more places than the Capitol at
Washington and Bedloe's Island, but
with high tariffs, trusts, walking dele
gates and other emanations of tyranny it

oppressed OF all nations" while in
fIct it tolerates tyranny of the most cruel

Fired by Incendiaries.

Chicago, May 5.-ShOrtly before y
o'clock last night, fire was discovered in
the Deering Hotel on Fullerton avenue,
and there was panic among the sixty
guests and a rush for safety, and several
persons were seriously injured. The fire
was of incendiary origin. The hotel is
owned by the Deering Harvester Com
pany, whose employees are now on strike.
The hotel is only short distance from
the Harvester Works, and nearly all the
guests were employed at the plant
What leads the police to believe that the
fire was of incendiary origin, is the fact
that only one gas jet had been burning
in the hall and this had been turned off
before the fire started. The flames
spread with such rapidity that the police,
are suspicious. The fire damage was
$40, 900.

Declares Church viii Rule the World

Chicago, May 5.-''Slnce l have seen
the western parochial schools, have
come to the conclusion that in fifty
years, if things go on as they have been
going the Catholic church will actually
own the vest Such was the declara-
ton of Archbishop Quigley last night.
The occasion was reception given to
the Archbishop by members of the
Sodality and the prelate was the only
man in a gathering of 300 women.
''Within twenty years this country is
going to rule the world. Kings and
Emperors will pass away and the democ-
racy of the United States will take
their place. The West will dominate
the country and what | have seen Of
the western parochial schools has proved
that the generation which follows us
will be exclusively Catholic. When
the United States rules the world, the
Catholic Church will rule the world. I'd
like to see the politician who would try
to rule against the Church in Chicago.
His reign would be short indeed"
