A Problem, juprenie ?Qourt has construed itruotlon of tbo liquor laws as tand on tho statute books of tho It Is doeldod that munloi ?lc8, nor powers, can grant 11 809 to rotall spirituous liquors and wtantlally that it Is* unlawful to ro ,1 or sell tho same within tho borders ,. tho State. Noithor tho Stato, as a corporation, "don't you know," Govor nor Tlllman nor the jioorest subject can now disponso for filthy lucro tho ardont article which so many of our follow citizens, it seems, so ardontly thirst aftor. Gov. Tlllman got it "in the neck" when tho dispensary wont "whoro tho woodbine twlnoth"; tho whlskoy men wore thereupon in high feather and the decree wont forth from tho Reform Cress that tho Supreme Court had been subsidized by the barkeepers; now tho barkeepers uro complotoly knocked viit-and. towns and cities are swelter ing in the soup. Nobody will bo pleased. Governor Tlllman's undcr ' taking to apply tho experiment of a Georgia small town to a big Stato brings him notoi-ftty and a sad experi ence; it will bo written In indelible characters that ho had a law passed that required to arm mon alroady red handed In human gore to enforce Tho prohibitionist will bo disappointed be cause tho statutes aro inadequate to prevent traffic in an article of which ? a groat body of the people aro con sumers; the towns and cities will bo disgruntled because they must endure all tho ovils resulting from whiskey without the compensating rcvenuos or 2 ^lnart^rootffnaiT from Itrr control. It Is a natural result. Sumptuary laws cannot be onforecd in South Carolina to begin with. Again, the genius of a people must bo studied and rogarded when laws aro to be made for them: they must be educated up to and pre pared in sentiment for such laws and social regulations as are proper for their government. Wo were doing vory woll: the high license system had ? passed beyond tho oxporlmontal stage and all civilized communities, with po lice regulations, reposed in its adop tion. South Carolinians of all people aro incongruous, inhomogeneous, and withal sensitive of tho invasion of the rights of the humblest. They manage to got together when the outside world crowds thorn: thoy will resent tam pering with thoir rights by their own household and discontent and disorder will follow. Wo aro not bettor than other people: wo not aro leading tho othor nations I and states. Thon, wo might bo con j tent t&.koop pace with them in rogulat Tng^the* ? 'ftppotites of our neighbors. Lot us go slow; study tho social problems as thoy arise: put wise men s at tho helm; roliovo the social pioneer corps; cease wild experiments: mend and laugh at our past blunders: get to gethor. Reformers are apt to moot the fate of Martyrs: in tho ease of tho In dividual tho sacrlllco is immaterial: b?at great communities should make hasto Blowly and take no risks involving the prosperity and happinoss of mani fold thousands. Tho elephant is on our hands in tho shape of a big stock of tanglo log and tho puzzling question: What will wo do with it? Statistics aro published of the almost billion deposits of tho people of the United States In savings banks. Tho West makes but a poor show and the South is "not in it." Massachusetts and New York have the majority over all tho rest. What wonder tho aver ago" lifo of man is dwindling so fast up North! What sleepless nights theso poor Yankees must spend for tho fear all this money will be spirited away! Whattorror of burglars! "Uneasy lies tho head that wears a crown." Indeed it cannot bo long until those money kings will divido to secure peaceful nights. Just wait. Vf* Do learning and intogrityqualify for tho ormlno of a Judge or do political i qualifications? An old joke runs thusly: A certain Eastern I'rinco held to tho doctrine that the moon was square and not round. Ho had a lcnrn od lawyor in his dominion who he want ed as a Judge. But this ablo Judge on examination held tho moon a round hotly and so another gentleman of in ferior attainments was solected and duly Installed. Subsequently tho two aspirants mot wlion tho bcaton party pointod to tho moon at he? full and put the matter to tho now Judgo, who answering said: Woll it docs have a mighty round appearance to bo so squaro a thing. At tho rosidonco of the Chinese Min ister at Washington tho othor day a gas bill was presented on reddish white paper, tho mourning color in their country and tho interpreter being ab sent thoy concluded somo great official was dead. Thoy got thoir tom-toms and ralsod a groat nolso after tho man ner of thoir country. Just so whon tho bill ronchos tho country editor for a bunch of spring chickons. Balfour, loador of tho conservatives, in his spooch on the Budget in tho English House of Commons intimated that the Liberals wore not advancing tho millonlum. Tho progress in that direction scorns a little tardy on this side tho water. Anothor groat cotton factory Is to bo built In Spartanburg county. Tho ''Old Iron District" would sot tho pace for the rost of tho Stato, but thoy do not know tho right foot from the loft and can't tako tho step. "???siana Democrats ?pd a bitter An Old NIM-, In reviewing what wo arc doing thoy usually style it: "Tho Industrial South." If we could only have a little divorsion and divert our industries from cotton to homo supplies we would hour loss frequently of bringing capital to tho South." Capital would soon bo croatcd on tho ground und stay here and bolug bore would Und employment. We aro as industrious a people as inhabit the earth?in fact ^lt is all work and no play, year in and year out. Wc aro ongaged in furnishing tho great big world with cheap raw material to ex orcise its skill upon, and return to us at fancy prices. Whon wo no longer look to tho West but raiso our peas, plndars, potatoes and pork, wo will havo piping tlmos of peace and there will be loss eoneern as to whon the campaign shall open. Grovor Cleveland has gone fishing. With his environment ho Is excusable for attacking tho "doni/.ons of another sphere." There should bo somo even ing of things. * * * Coxoy's headquarters in Washington aro unhealthy and against sanitary regulations, and he must movo.
