Our Carbonate sp0ndent this
morning tells of important proceed
lngs brought by Judge Youngblood
against a saloon keeper of that city
for heavy damages claimed by the
wife of man who. while under the
influence of liquor, sold him by the
defendant, killed another man and
was sent 10 the peaitentary The
widow of the man who was killed has
also taken steps 70 recover damages
from the saloon keeper This it
seems, is going a step further than
did the supreme court of the state in
1 recent decision, confirming a YER
let in a lower court awarding dam
ages to the widow OF a man who
while in drunken condition, NJ
tempted to board a train and was
killed. It is evident from this case as
from many others that might be cite1
that courts are inclined TO so far in
holding slloon keepers responsible

they should do in cases where the
aw is violated in selling to minors
drunken men. or TO hahitual drunk
lrds especially for the benefit of in
nocent sufferers, But it would seem
hat some limit must be placed
somewhere for the saloon keepers re
sponsibility -Some line must be
irawn, predicated either upon Law or
upon circumstances. where the re.
sponsibility of the seller ceases and
that Of the drinker begins. else the
crimlnally disposed would find free Ii
cense for deeds Of violence, in the
confident belief that the law would
hold him to have been merely the 50
loon keepers irresponsible instru
ment In the meantime, saloon men
can not be too careful in dispensing
their wares to men through whom
they are likely to get into trouble

be a candidate for alderman in the
Seventh ward at the coming city cleo.
ton, that gentleman authorizes The
Bulletin to state that he will under
no circumstances consent to make the
race against Alderman Nerdman He
recognizes in Alderman Nordman an
efficient and conscientious servant Of
the people and should that gentleman
consent to stand for reelection, Mr.
Greaney is for him. Mr.. Nordman
has not yet indicated desire TO
again enter the race, but If he does
he will probably not meet with seri-
Gus opposition. for his record as q
member Of the city council Is above
reproach However. should he de
cline TO run again and Mr.. Greaney
should enter the race, he too. would
be a winner and his election would
also insure the people an efficient
servant. for he has been a member
of the council for several terms, is
familiar with public affairs and also
has creditable record to reconA
mend him.

Recently Congressman w. r.
Hearst introduced his second bill in
congress- at its present session. Its
purpose is to give the federal circuit
courts the right to try initiatory pro,
ceedings against trusts under the
Sherman law. II is a good BILL but it
will not pass. because there will be
a strong railroad lobby against it. His
first bill was the parcels post bill,
which aims to compel the government
to c1rry at nominal cost packag IS

CRIMINALS NORTH AND SOUTH

affect that the Northern negro, as a
class. is more criminal than the
southern negro. or the Cairo negro
Our critic n inclined to doubt this

in the North. while IN the South these
revolving scenes are numerous ant

with the satisfactory assurance that
there has sprung up strong senti
ment against lynching5 In the South
which has found expression in the
press generally, and has aroused of
fetal determination to check them
But II does not in any way tend tc
dig redfy The Bullebnis statement
which ID borne out hy the census
whose figures are probably correct al
far as they 60. The census shows
that, while in the South there were
twenty-nine negro criminals to every
10000 negroes, in the northeast there
were 70 to every 10000. and in the
northwest % to every 10000 Taking
New York as a typical northern state
and Mississippi as a typical southern
state. it h. found that in the former
there are 100 negro prisoners for ev-

latter there are but "a 10 10000

Mythical Creatures Of Japan.

Ihe Japanese believe in more myth.
cal creatures than any other people on
the globe, civilized or savage. Among
them are mythical animals without
any remarkable peculiarities of con.
formation, but gifted with supernatur.
al attributes. such as a tiger which is
said to live to be a thousand years old
and to turn as white as a polar bear.
They also believe in a multitude of
animals distinguished mainly by their
monstrous size or by the multiplication
of their members.
Among these are serpents eight hun.
dred feet long and large enough to
swallow an elephant, foxes with eight
legs. monkeys with four ears, fishes
with ten heads attached to one body,
the flesh Of which is cure for boils.
They also believe in the existence of a
crane which, after 1t has reached the
age Of six hundred years, has no need
of any sustenance except water.
