have Joined hands with an element
which looks eventually in the reestab-
fishing of the old barroom system In
South Carolina and that has nothing
but contempt for the doctrine they rep
resent. Should the dispensary be de-
feated, this barrOom crowd, now posing
under the guIse of high license. will at
once cut loose from lis former allies and
throw its entire strength to reestablish-

enticements to the young and weak.
There will be nothing but q scornful

work and polled most Of the votes.
The venomous matter now directed
against the dispensary will be turned
against the prohibitionists; bitterness
and innuendo will be widespread, and

Recent city elections In Maine re-

the Democrats, who are bringing to
the frontthe hypocricies of prohibition,
hts absolute failure, and openly advo-

Prohibition there, as elsewhere, has
made a huge cropof hypocrites, sneaks
and midnight dispensers of vile whis-
key, patent medicines and soda foun-
tain concoctions. 1t has not lessened
drunkenness and has caused appetites
for heavily loaded patent medicines.
It Is q notorious fact that whiskey-la-

quantities In Maine and other sections
Of New England where there is prohi-
bition. The hypocricy oft all has at
last appealed to the people.
Prohibition in South Carolina wonld
be no better or more successful. 1t is
having a trial in seventeen South Car
DINA counties today, and drunkenness,
deception, encouragement of violation
of law are widespread. Men are not

A GREAT VICTORY.


Holds that the Transportation
Companies are Entitled to Perma-
nent Injunction.
Official Information was received that the
United States Circuit Court OF Appeals-sit-
ting In New Orleaps-yesterday handed down
it's decision In favor Of the railroads IN the
celebrated case OF the Louisville and Nash.
willie Railroad vs.. n. K. Bitterman and other
New Orleans ticket sosipera. The court held
that the railroads are entitled to permanent
injunction covering all futuse Issues Of non
transferable tickets.
This Ia the most important victory gained
by the railroads In their aDti-scalping cru
sade, It being the first case passed upon by
any Federal Appellate Court. AS q const
Quence Jacksonville officials were more than
delighted over the result OF the decision.
1t will be remembered that the crusade wal
waged here some time ago. until every scalpel
was cleaned out Of the city. This sam
strenuous campaign has been continued ovel
the entire South. New Orleans has been one
OF the strongholds Of the scalpers,. and this
last decision means Kidding the entire South

A Pirate Story.

From the Chicago News.
This tale from Hongkong shows the
ingenuity and courage of modern Chinese
pirates: Ten men, who appeared to be
harmless laborers, boarded the British
steam launch Fienam just below Nuchow.
They had been on board only a little
time when they suddenly produced re-
volvers, searched and bound the passen-
gers and crew, and took charge of the
vessel Their captain took the rudder and
deliberately colided, while going at high
speed, with a larger Chinese launch, the
Chanfook. The robbers were flung to the
deck by the force of the collision, but
instantly sprang up and leaped on board
the Chanfook.
Again the crew and passengers were
This done, they were thrown headlons
on to the captives lying at the bottom of
the Fienam The pirate leader then re-
turned on board the latter and quickly
wrecked the machinery. The Fienam
helpless and with her helpless cargo. was
cut adrift. Steaming up in the dark on
the Chanfook. with no lights showing, the
pirates attacked a commissioners armed
launch, on board of which a guard of
eight soldiers was watching over a valu-
able cargo, but this time they were beat
en- off.
In no wise discouraged the pirates
sheered off. and next attacked and over
powered the launch Saiyik. When the
dawn came the pirates ran the chanfooi
on the beach and made off unframed.
Their nights work had brought them

the enervating suffering these economical
ly wrong appliances subject us to- the
attempt to dispense with them and to
substitute a circulating note system eco

such considerable opposition that it will
for the present prove almost useless to

Under these circumstances it will be
well enough if at least a beginning be
made in the right direction and toward
such beginning the propositions en-
braced in the recent report of a special
committee OF the New York Chamber of

provinces of Chilli, Shansi, Shensi and Ho-
nan, with a population of 100000, is not
responsible for the loss of more lives
than it is usually credited with.
1t is still more certain that the Moham-
medan uprising in the northwest destroyed
more lives than it is generally supposed
to have done. A very moderate computa-
ton of the loss of life incurred in these
three calamities makes it to be fully Co.,
100000. And in this connection it would
be well, perhaps, to remind ourselves that
the habtual use of opium by such a large
number of the people has tended to act
injuriously on the recuperative power of
