assistant city attorney, in charge of

HOP TEA ORDINANCE.
One Is Passed by the Topeka City
a Council.

Topeka has a new hop tea ordinance
to replace the one ruled off the field by
Judge Hazen. The new ordinance was
passed by the city council last night
under suspension of rules.
The new ordinance prohibits the sale
OF malt, hop tea; ginger ale, and similar
drinks in less quantities than one gal
Ion when sold as a beverage. 1t pro-
vides a fine of from $25 to 500 for each
violation, and a jail sentence of from
so to 80 days.
With the exception of this tremend-
ously heavy penalty which has been at
tached, the rest of the ordinance has
all been ground over by the supreme
court in former cases, and found to be
constitutional and valid.
If the courts will not sustain that
ordinance" said City Attorney Charles
F. Spencer, they will not sustain any
ordinance of that kind. L don't vouch
for that ordina nee, YOU understand, but
I say that it is drawn in accordance
with recent decisions. That penalty
may be too severe. L made it as strong
as 1 dared to-
1t was necessary for the friends of
the ordinance to get eight votes to
suspend the rules and pass the ordin-
ance last night, and they managed to
muster just that number. Those who
voted against suspending the rules
Rice, Holiday, Griley and Kutz. These
councilmen thought that an ordinance
of such Importance should take its reg
ular course before a committee.
The voting on this hop tea ordinance
is the first time that the new council
has voted on matter involving so
closely the liquor question.
After the rules had been suspended,
the ordinance was read and finally
passed by the following vote:
Ayes: Kutz, Neil, Green, Nellis, Howe,
Sinner, Swendson and Hughes.
Noes: Ryder, Griley. Holiday and
Rice.

II. COMBES AND CHARyREUsE

The controversy over the Chartreuse affair
threatens TO grow into one Of the most serious
the French government has had 10 face for
some years. II does not appear that there &c
any good reason why the Prime Minister'S Mace
should be imperilled He has some things TO
explain, which he doubtless can and will ex-
plain to the entire satisfaction of reasonable
people But political factionists are not always
reasonable. The Panama scandal. the Wilson
scandal and various other such episodes ba We
put French nerves on edge over all suggestions
of official corruption and there may be danger
OF a stampede which will oyerrun the innocent
as well as the possibly or probably guilty.
The circumstances OF the case are these:
year and half ago NJ. Lagrave, employee of
the Ministry Of Commerce and Commissioner
10 the st. Louis Fair, approached NJ. Edgar
Combes, son OF the Prime Minister and under
secretary ia the Ministry OF the Interior. with
the statement that he had been authorized TO
say that the government would be $50 600 richer
IL il would relax the law In favor of the Car
thusian monks. II. Edgar COmbes replied that
no such proposal could be tolerated, that the
Prime Minister would be much offended IL IL
came TO his knowledge. and that the law would
be enforced impartially against the Carthusians
as against all other unauthorized congregations
M. Edgar Combes and NJ. Lagraye appear to
agree as TO these details, excepting that the
former regards the proposal as an attempt to
bride the government, while the latter declares
there was no such intention. Later the matter
was disclosed TO the Prime Minister. NJ. Combes
and other members OF the Ministry but at the

THE HAYTIAN TROUBLES.

The Haytian government, such as 1t Is, should
make speedy and abundant reparation for the
indecent conduct of its soldiers.
Nevertheless, there is something 10 be said

excuse for the outrage. but there was provo
