Two Questions for Candidates for the Legislature to Discuss. In bis letter to the News and Courier of Monday, Mr. August Kohn calls attention to two subjects that candidates for the legislature should discuss through the state this summer. One is [ the biennial sessions matter, to which The Lnquiror has frequently called attention, and says Mr. Kohn: j The other question on which | the masses ought to be informed and on which there should be an expression of opinion on the part of all candidates for the general assembly, whether for the house or senate, is upon the Brice bill. Senator Brice of York county, introduced a bill at the last session, when a people no longer wanted tbd dispensary system, or it was a jeopardy to their peace and good order, they could vote it out of the county. If upon a vote of the people the dispensary was no longer wanted, then the machinery was provided in tho act for its removal. The bill was cleverly . amended by tho dispensary friends, : so as to paralize it and prac tically make it a dead letter. The law as passed now says if a county is dis""15*0'! with tho dbnensarv o i ? and no longer wants it for any reason, it can vote it out of the county, but, with a big B, if it nc longer wants the dispensary it must pay a stated tax upon all property in the county for that privilege. This tax,* it is alleged, for the purpose of maintaining tho constabulary ;orce in the conn ty,after the dispensary is remove. It was a clever piece of legislation on the part of the dispensary advocates. They argued that without this tax feature, if counties could vote the dispensaries out of their borders, it would be the means of breaking tho backbone of the dispensary, as the profit making counties would perhaps vote the system out of their borders. As matters now stand, with out paying a special *ax for the privilege, no county once having a dispensary can get rid of it according to law. Saluda petition ed for the closing of its dispensary, but the board said it could not be done according to law. Those who advocate the Brice bill insist that it is simply home and self government. The fight will no doubt be made again at the next session of the general assembly, and every member of -the general assembly ought, before the people, to soy how he stands upon this measure, and whether he thinks each county ought to regulate its own liqu )r affairs, or w bother it ought to be a state matter, and what applies to one county must apply to all, and that if dispensaries be in vogue in one county they must be forced on every other county in the state, and that the step to prohi* bition that was promised can never be taken, unless the people stop buying liquor, as the dispensaries onco being opened are never to be closed.?Yorkville Enquirer.

' The ambassador also presented a general protest against the action y of the Russian volunteer fleet I steamers in tho Red sea. 3 The pjotest was in the form of a verbal note made in conformity with telegraphic instructions from the British government. It does not raise tho question of the passago of tho Dardanelles by vessels of tho volunteer fleet, it being understood that Great Britain is reluctant to roopen tho quostion of 9 tho passage of the Daranolles and 9 that she will not do so unless as a ' last roeort. ^ Russia has reason to believe and ' contends that tho Malacca, in ad3 dition to British government " stores, had on board munitions in' tended for Japan.
