TmE Joun NAL 1has read and ra..read this edi torial, which is labeled philosophy and reques9ted to be takan on trial, fnd must pr'onounce the p)hiloso phy to be ais weak and inlsipid as tihe poetry. Tfhis is simply the -opinion of the JOURNAl, and its readers have the privilege of form ing their own, after examining the moirits of the article. The Sentinel says: "Is the Son inlright? If it is endorse it. I'ioLpondomn it, and say why it should bodfotlomned." This is a touem.nvitation, for 'tho reason that mercuia1-~onpor mnent of the Sentinel wvill notkI~ low it to take a decided. position oh a question, and for the furtho~ r e'ason that its timiditr will act allow it to sj)dak in plaun onud finti * equivocal language, But -is thme * entinel right?

Tho recont con uct of municipal 44nthoritios and prohibition loaders, vhen the Su promo court declaro the Stato un der prolubition laws, is an illus tration of the prohibition dolus ion. Tho State must accept con dlitions as thoy.exist and make the best, disposition of questions as they arise. Then since prohibi tion is prematuro and impractica blo, who shall control the liquor business is the question, and this is the real question in issuo, all others being morely side issues. Experienco has shown that muni cipal authorities woro satisfiod with tho rovenues and left tho business almost entirely to the onterpriso and conscience of the saloon men. The saloon system was obloxiolus to tho masses of the People, anld they abolished it. Then wihat was to tako its placo and who was to control the liluor business. Tie peoplo in the rural districts boingin the majority at the polls, woro tirOi of municipal con trol aid municipal absorption of the liquor revenuos, ((c'ided that they would tako chargo of the bus iness5.q alid got solei holnefits of the profits. Being in the majority, they hald the right and they oxer cised it, and that is tho secret of aill this howl agaist the dispon sary system. Ito is not the lovo of the men who drank whiskey mod (rately or excessively, that inspires the antagon ists of tho dispensary. It is the loss1 of the pr1fits, that. troubles their philanthropic hearts, after onjoying almost exclusivo Iue of 11the rovonuos Irom time im morial. 'lint is tho kind of Ro form they do not liko and that is why the Sentil)0 sees SI.0orpions whero it use to see snakes. That is what, makes the Soutinel writo poetically al tbrug oi its philoso phy. That is what maken tho Sen tinl d11 (raw N paralleis betwoon the blind tiger and tho roaring lion, which is watchod and guar dod during the day and caged dur ing tho n1ighit. Tho most colitemptible conduct of the sentinol in all its ravings is tho effort, to lug into tho discuss ion an oflicial of the dispensary and1( privato ciizonsl.

TH uE JouUxAL was alwaysI saltisfied1 that The Sentinel w~as fighting moro for political reasons thani for the advancement of moer tality, but the difliculty "'as to make The Sontinel show its hand. The recent attempt of The Senti nel at epic poetry and~ philosophy disclosos its real motive power and will satisfy the most indifferont reader that The Scntinel has more love for the blind tiger and politics than for humanity andl good mor ails. Read his parallol hotwoon the blind Vigor and the dispensary and( see whero the sympathby lies. liead the snoor at Reform and the ap p)Oal to four Reform loaders andl see that poelitics inspires its right eous indignation against the dis ponsary system. conugrem~onaI k'unearatsM. Senator Peffor has found that seventy-three members of the Sen ate have beoon buried at, pulhic ox ponso at an aggregateoof $100,264. 80. The first sonator whose fuinor al expenses were paid out of tho contingent fund was John Gail lard, of South Carolina, who diedl iln 1826. The fir'st senator whose interment cost as much as $1,000 was John Fairfield, of Mama. The most expensive public funeral was that of Senator Hearst, ot Cali fornia, who died in 1891. The cost was $21,322.55-all borne by con gress. Here is the record of some congressional funerals of interest: John C.
