Xtlu a Law, Then cheat it. A distinguished member of the Gen eral Assembly, who was in the eity a few days ago, got to talking about the dispensary law. He said that accord ing to his construction it was not in tended to kill out the better class of clubs. The speaker, and he is to a great extent responsible for the passage of the bfil^went on to sty that he saw rot especial reason why ail of the bajv Ireepere shookf give up their places of business. It was his opinion that they could run restaurants, and for itioee who wanted liquor it .could be pro vided. j ! "There is no reason in the world," be said, "why sideboards can aot be placed in all of these, restaurants an# all of the customers provided with all the liquor that is wanted. Of course the proprietor could not do the filling of the bottles, but whenever a customer' wanted a drink be could call for it out of his bottle in the sideboard. There is no more objection to a res taurateur keeping a bottle than there is for a man to turn his unused flask o^er to his valet to keep it for him umil he has further -use for H. Of course the restaurant would be no more than a depository and would not buy the liquor on its own respon sibility. It would be a strictly cssh business, and whenever liquor wag wanted the cash would have?o He sent out with the order. I do not think that there will be any objection to such a plan and the proprietors could make such arrangements as they may want to with their customers. A man does not want to drink a whole flask of whiskey at one time and be hardly ^ares to carry It to his home." ? News and Courier. - * - i ^ Wiping Out the Bine Laws. % , Pittsburg, Pa., April 8. ?

The Statcij Probably Defeated in tbe Kail < ^ I road Caets. _ W asbingtox, April 4 ? There is a feeling here to-night that the State authorities in the South Carolina rail road casus failed to mak4 a' winning argument before the United Stabs Supreme Court, J. Randolph Tucker, who waft imported from Virginia^ assist the State officers, made a florid " "<*" i ' 1 argumen t in support of ?he State, but a multiplication of words cannot in fluence a tribunal like the Supreme Court. All the questions asked from the Bench, and there were manj, . indicated that ' the members of tie Court were pretty well satisfied that the State Authorities were not justified in attempting to seize property already in the hands of a receiver.

This will be connected with machinery hall, so that President Cleveland will only have to step to the speaker's table to touch the but ton. A Siun ot Promise. It is to he hoped that the Tillman ites from South Carolina ik>w in Washington are correct in interpret ing the nomination to a treasury office of Mr Farrow of that State as a sign of the intention of the administration to do nothing to strengthen the Till- i man faction there. While we are as averse as anyone can Ik? to the recog- J nition of partisan distinctions in Hp pointments, and believe this one to be { entirely fit to be made independent of j politics, we regard active "advocacy of j Tillman ism as a positive disqualiiiea- ? tion for the Federal service, not only ! because the avowed purp ses of the faction are singularly dangerous, but j becai^s its methods in South Car<>- j lina ?ve deen extremely bad. The | obvious desire of the |>eople of South Carolina to get rid of it as soon a> possible should in no wise be restrain ed ot impeded by the Administration. ?New York Times. >'o\v lor the ltott<*niie?N.
