Men deeply interested in church

The temperance wing lacked a
single vote on Friday last when the
prohibition amendment to the West
Virginia State Constitution pro
hibiting the manufacture or sale OF
Intoxicating liquors came up in'the
Senate on its passage, and owing
this fact the resolution failed to
carry. Nineteen voted in favor of
the measures and eleven against it,
thus the majority lacked one vote
of the necessary two-thirds. The
result was hard blow to the Pro-
hibitionists, and what step will
now be taken is question. The
resolution passed by the House is
in the Senate Judiciary Committee,
that committee having reported
the measure voted upon this morn
ing in its stead, and many are OF
the opinion that is the end of the
matter, so far as this session is
concerned.

The Byrd liquor law, which Is a
codi6cation of all existing statutes
and which means total prohibition
throughout the State in all cities
and towns of 500 inhabitants or
less. was passed in the House on
Friday by a vote of SO to 3. The
bill now goes to the Senate for
concurrence. This measure is the
most important lealiug with the
liquor question which has yet come
TO the attention Of either branch of
the General Assembly.
In support of the bill, it is said
by the patron, that the measure is
not proposed to check any of the
liquor legislation now pending be-
fore the general assembly, but that
it rather embraces the features OF
all the laws presented during the
session, favorable to the anti.sa-
loon league. and which have met
with the favorable consideration OF
the committees Of the house.
Among the sections of the bill is
one to give the right Of search OF
places where liquor is kept for H.
legal sales, to declare such places
nuisiarces, and to allow the courts
to issue injunctions against them
Dispensaries, under the bill, are
prohibited from selling outside OF
their districts, and moreover, pro-
hib;ts common carr iers from deliv-
ering liquor to any person except
the actual consignee.
The commissioner of agriculture
will be required, if the bill is pass
ed, to analyze samples OF liquor
sent him, and the burden OF proof,
where any drink has produced in
toxication, will be upon the defen-
dant to prove that it was not in
toxicating liquor under the mean.
ing of the act.
Judge Mann will champion the
bill in the Senate.

Legislation will shortly be re

signed to wrest many millions OF
acres of land from the grasp OF
Western railroads and open them
to bona-fide settlers. The propos-

of resolution introduced January
81 by Senator Tillman. This in
