Mr.. HOyt. who has taken tn.

Mr.. Hoyt, who has taken the
contract to cut the New Iberia
Southern Canal, is here this week,
busily engaged getting his ma
chinery together to begin the
work. 1t seems that all things
have been qhfavorable to this end.
One Of the dredging machines,
which has been over, hauled in
one Of the Crescent City machine
shops, is being set up near the
cotton mill on Jefferson street.
Many of the worked over parts do
not fit and have had to he sent to
the machine shop again causing
both delay and expense. Neither
has the weather been favorable
for snch outdoor work. 1t is i'm
possible to definitely say just yet
when cutting on the canal will be-
gin but it is hoped that d start
will be made in the next ten days.

INCHOATE RIGHT OF DOVER.

In another column of this issue
we print portion of Il dccrctal
order of Judge Geo. w. Gage in a
case heard by him at Iorkvillc.
The views expressed and opinion
rendered in effect are new, never
before having been decided exactly
upon the questions and points
raised and as passed upon in this
ease. This case presents a new
phase Of the dover question or
right under the law that has never
before been subjected to judicial de-
cision. While there is no new
principle Of law disclosed in this
decision Il new application of the
right woman has to dispose of
her dover right during the life time
of her husband is a new construc-
ton of that right. We do not
know how far reaching this decision
is. If, however, the Judge means
to say that woman has the legal
right to sell her dover right to all
the land of which her husband is
seized and possessed during his life
time, regardless of any sale of such
land made by the husband, and if
the supreme court suStains this de-
cision it will certainly complicatc
matters in real estate transfers to a
very considerable extent. If the
decision says and means that the
wife can sell her dover right to
any person she chooses after the
husband has sold the land, then we
agree with it, because the wife
would not be compelled to sell her
dover right to the person to whom
her husband sold the land. There
Is, however, nothing binding upon
the woman, she must be free to
dispose of this right, otherwise it
would not be a legal remuneration.

our citizens have become corrupt?
Is tins existence SO contaminating
that ii is no longer safe to remain
within the borders of our State, if
We hope to retain our honesty and
maintain our character for integrity
and morality? Is the dispcnsary
an emisary of the devil whose in
tiucncc is felt by those who do not
patronizc or indulge in Intoxicating
liquids dispensed by it? Is the dis
pensary responsible for the acts of
MIR. Spccglc or Mr.. Dargan and
others who have fallen short of the
mark of strict honesty, morality
and integrity? Is the influence of
the dispcnsary so far reaching, that
it is the chief source of evil and
crime, and does the Richland dis
tilcry, blind tiger" and clubs play
no part in this great drama of
wrong doing? If so, then the dis
pcnsary bears a fearful burden and
Il multitude of sins lie at it's door.
If all of these things are traceable
to the dispcnsary, then blot it out,
and if the people be convinced that
such is the case, they will by their
votes, blot it out. The people voted
prohibition and got dispcnsary,
therefore as dispcnsary was forced
upon them, they should have the
right to vote it out and to prevent
its establishment in their midst.

away, and in it's place tho govern
ment had given a corporation the
privilege of selling pure liquors in a
restricted number of decent shops,
under careful devised Limitations.
First, the liquors must be fully
tested for purity; secondly, none
could be sold to persons already un-
der the influence of drink; thirdly,
no intoXicant could be sold without
something to eat with it, the effects
OF alcohol upon the system being
thus mitigated. These and other
restrictions had reduced the drink
evil, as | was assured to a mini
mum. But the most far reaching
provision in the whole system was
that the company which enjoyed
the monopoly of this trade was not
allowed to declare a dividend great
or than, l believe, six per cent;
everything realized above this going
into the public treasury, mainly for
charitable purposes. The result of
restriction of profits was that no
person employed in selling ardent
spirits was under the slightest tenn
tation to attract customers. Each
of these sellers was a salaricd offic-
ial and knew that his place depend
ed on his adhcring to the law which
forbade him to sell to any person
under the influence of liquor, or to
do anything to increase his sale;
and the whole motive for making
men drunkards was thus taken
away.
I was assured by both the Amer
lean and British consul as well as
most reputable citizens, that this
system had greatly diminished in
temperance. Unfortunately, since
that time, fanatics have obtained
control, and have passed an entirely
prohibitory" law, with the result
as | understand, that the commu-
nifty is now discovering that pro-
hibition docs not prohibit, and that
the worst kind of liquors are again
sold by men whose main motive is
to sell as much as possible. -

Editor Gazette In view of the
agitation for the abolishmcnt of the

to learn of the experience in Sweden.
The following synopsis is taken
from the autobiography of Andrew

Gothcnborg | took pains to obtain
information regarding their system
of dealing with the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors and became satisfied
that it is, on the whole, the best
solution of the problem ever OBJ
tained."

If police headquarters is not safe

Tie banks and business houses of
the city that they will not be the
victims in the near future? Where
are the night police? There are &
number of crooked and unlawful
happenings around town every
night. If the police sec it, it is
never brought to the attention Of
the mayor and council. There arc
places in which unlawful acts are
nightly carried on and nothing

make some startling exposures soon
if things don't change for the better

RAILROAD CROSSINGS DAN
GEROUS.

While it is true, and we are glad
to say it too, that there never has
been very serious accident hap
pcncd at either of the railroad cross
ings in the city, yet there have been
some very narrow escapes from
death and destruction. 1t is al
ways better to take precaution to
lock the door before rather than
after the horse is stolen. No city
or town in the State that has street
crossings of railroads but require
the railroad company to make these
crossings safe, that is to provide
tiagmcn or signals such as will pre-
vent people either walking or driv-
ing from going on the track while
moving train is approaching the
crossing. The ordinance passed by
the city council requiring the rail-
roads to erect gates on Main and
Virgin street crossings was comprO-
missed by allowing the railroad COM
pany to stop the trains and send Il
tlagman ahead and run into the
Station at very slow rate of speed.
This does very well as far as it
goes, but docs not go far enough,
for the reason that the passenger
trains arc the only ones that do
this. No signal or hagman accom-
panics the freight trains and the
shifting engines that run all day
constantly across the several cross
ings in the city. People generally
know about what time the regular
schedule trains are due here and
they look out for them, but these
trains that are running all the time
up and down the track no one
knows when to expect them, and
if gates were erected or automatic
gongs placed SO that persons would
be warned every time a train was
approaching this would prevent any
accident, except to fool hardy,
reckless person who always takes
the risk. There is now way of
placing u gong over the crossing
which is worked by a moving train.
When the train approaches it sounds
the gong ahead, these are so fixed
that the train sounds the gong at
crossing when so yards from the
crossing, thus giving the warming
in time to persons going or starting
across the track. Something should
be done now before some serious
accident does happen.

IS DlSpENSARY RESPONSIBLE!

The Monday State says: "The
evidence, the increasing evidence,
of stealing and graftingin in this State
is peculiarly pleasing to certain
negro newspapers, and it is quite
natural they should be diverted.
They have for so long been hearing
OF the thriving carpetbaggcrs and
the corrupt negroes that this rcaliza-
ton that the superior" whites are
developing into first class graftcrs
comes as sweet revenge. Naturally
they gloat. And what are we to
do about it? Recognize the fact
that moral tone is being lost, wipe
out the chief of the corrupting in
ilucnccs, the dispcnsary, and then
try to get back to old and higher
standards. "
Is it possible that the mere exist
cncc of the dispcnsary i'm our State
is cxerting 50 bancful an influence

THREE GOVERNORS IN A DAY.

Jesse P. Mcdonald Now Governor of Colorado.
 DENVER. March 1S.LThe bargain made by leaders of the opposing Re publican factions of Colorado to take the governors chair from Ava Adams and to seat in it Lieutenant Governor Jesse F. Mcdonald, after permitting James H. Peabody to hold it for one day, was carried to conclusion last night.
 In fulfllment of the agreement which he made before the general assembly that decided the gubernatorial contest in his favor. Governor James H. Pea body resigned the office in which he was inaugurated late Thursday afternoon. His resignation. of which w. S. Boyn- ton of Colorado Springs had been GUS todian since Wednesday. when it was written, was filed in the office of the secretary of state at 4:20 p. m.
 James COwie, secretary of state. i'm mediately certified Governor PeabOdy's resignation and Lieutenant Governor AAANDohulu was tutl SNOl III US SON- ernOr by Chief Justice Gabert.. There was no further ceremony. Governor Adams was busted and Governor Pea body installed by the general assembly about , o'clock Thursday afternoon. and Governor Mcdonald was sworn in yesterday. Thus in space of less than twenty-four hours Colorado has had three governors.
 Governor Peabody transacted prac- tically no business of state while in the office of governor He received many callers. who urged him not to re- sign. and also many messages of the same import by telegraph and tele- phone. To all these he replied that he did not care to hold the chair. He said that he was tired of the worry and excitement of his contest and wished to go back to his bank in Canyon City. Half dozen members of the national guard patrolled the corridors about the executive chamber during the day as a guard for Governor Peabody. .:-
 Lieutenant Governor Mcdonald re- luctantly takes the chair which Gov ernOr Peabody resigned after forcing Governor Adams out.
