THURSDAY EVENING, DEC. 3, 1908,

TIE Richmond News Leader OF las'
Saturday published carefully preEareo
editorial on wet and dry counties IN VIZ
sinis in which there vas a comparison
of conditions of certain counties IN 1897
and 1907, an interval Of ten years. Inc
exhibits in this article show that 'ne
wet counties pay the state revenue Oh
$500, 1856 more than the dry counueS
raw. while the comparative decrease 10
criminal expenses Of vet and dry couO'
ties shows no very material difference 10
the revenue respectively yielded This
article furnishes q very strong argument
against prohibition aud in favor OF q
wise regulation Of the liquor traffic IN
this state. Commenting upon 1t the
Petersburg Iodex Appeal, one OF the
most conservative papers in the s'a'e'
says: !
There is nothing to warrant the lnier
euce that Virginia is different from o,ne'
states where prohibition has DOT PTohiO-
tied beyond the range Of police vislon'
prohibition will, of course, eliminate the
saloon. and the revenue derived from
the saloon also, but it will not maIerl'
slly reduce the amount Of drinking 10
the state. The jug traffic will enor-
mously increase, aud so will the burden
on the tax payers Of the state AS 9
question OF morals, the revenue argu'
msnt should have no weight, But wha''
ever moral objection there nay De 'C
the saloon, we believe it can he removed
and the saloon made not only harmless
bnt convenience and a comfort to tins
public by proper regulation. 1t is only
necessary to do two things aud the isn 2,
of the saloon will be drawn; Prohio''
them from selling liquor to drunKer
men. Forbid Them, under severe Peoal
ties to both parties, to sell int'xicatlot
drinks on credit to any man, oruuk "

THE Kentucky Court OF Appeals held
In an opinion recently rendered IN the
case of City Of B4rdwell vs.. Southern
Engine & Boiler Works, that where a
city, in purchasing an engine Tor the
operation of its electric light plant
created a debt in excess Of the constitu-
tional limit, while the court could not
compel the city to levy lax to pay the
debt because the purchase was in viola
ton of the constitution, the vendor Of
the engine under lis contract having o
lien thereon for the payment Of the debt,
the court had the right to enforce the
lien and order q sale Of the engine to pay
the debt due thereon. Mamters OF city
councils who are prone to vote for every
appropriation suggested, regardless OF
debt or anything else, should remember
this decision.

he examined Nadine Jspy, but could
fad nothing the matter With
her. Madame Steinheil stoutly in
sisted, however, that her mother was
indisposed, aud, despite his reinsurance,
she abandoned the trip to Bellevue.
The murder took place that night.
Acheray expressed the opinion that
plans for the murder were made after
the trip to Bellevue had been srra1ged,
aud that the alleged indisposition on the
part of Mme Jspy WAS mere ruse on
her daughters part 10 have an excuse
for abandoning the trip.
Toe statement of Acheray, following
the medical examination OF Nine Jspy's

proof that she did not die OF stranguis-
ton, has convinced the authorities that
Nine SiienheiPs story of the crime is 3
fabrication from beginning to end.
The police are convinced that NJ
Steinheil end Nine Japy died from the
effects Of poison, and that, after death,
their murderers bound the bodies with
