We ,tate it Iodestly when wo say the Ire'sc A system of liquor selling is robbing the people of the Srate of $20 for every dailar paid to the State treasurer for educational purposes. The State board of control is sending out of our State each year at least $1,000,000, and in exchange for it bringing into the State and distribut ing to our poople five times the amount in poverty, wretchedness, disease atid death. We appeal to every newspaper in the State that. has a sense of honesty and fairness to lose sight of the few dollars that may conmc to it through those who love liquor; to forego the imainary pleasure of holding up the itmnds of those who cry, "personal libert y," when that personal liberty is violative of the rights of others, and to join with us in the effort to remove the accursed liquor traffic from our Site. \Ve appeal to the good women of lie Statot, andl whenL have thie women of SouthI Carol ina over failed in a good causeo?

WhIelh Thero In No Quci tion to Makes i Itegln ning--The Out look. (The State, 24th.) There is to be no unnecessary do ay in the preliminaries to starting he work upon the completion of the tato capitol. The comimission ap >ointed under the recent act of the ;eneral assembly to take the work n hand and carry it through, acting 11 conjunction with the sinking fund omlmissiel, is to got to work forth vit h. Yesterday Gov. MeSweeney, who a chairman of both connissious, is. med a call for a meeting of the State Liouso commission to be hold tomor row at 1I a. m. in the oxo utive chamber. The commission ih omposed of the Governor, the Secretary of State, Senator Marshall and Ropresentatives Gantt and Pat. ton. Several members of the sommis sion, it is understood, have about do termined to proceed regularly as thi act directs, and seem to think that i there is-any test of the legal quos tions reconty raised about the sink ing fund money, it is a matter be tween the legislature and the bond holders, and that it is not the provinct of the board to carry the matter tc the court; that the board should dc as directed by its creator, and if any question is to be raised, the bond holders should raise it. A careful investigation of the sink ing fund's books shows that even if the loaning of the money set aside for the retirement of the bends and stocks gets tied up in the courts, there to in the hands of the sinking fund commissioners about $25,000, possibly more, that has no relation whatever to th- security of the bonds, and this can be loaned without any question whatever and used to carry on the work necessary to be done during the remainder of this year. So it would seem that no mlatter whIat turn the questions p)resented might take in the courts, if any bondholder is inclined to carry them there, the work will go ahead and at least a good begin ninlg wvill have been made by the time the general assembly meets neOxt January.

One of llil\V1lwaikt'si iitroigest ar gumonts wis the polik ical e1lTct which the holdo g of the cotlvention in that city would have upon the Germanl Aierican voters, who wore IreseInt ed to the coinmithco t:i. wavorini im their alleganceo to the Ltpublicnl party. It Seemed to h Iokin for granted by at loost two speakers that Bryan would be renominated and that the Chicago platform im substance would be reafirmed. Opposition to trusts, expansion and imperialism, together with overy mention of Bryan and the Chicago platform, aroused enthusiasm, but during the open session of the co-. mittoo there was ro allusion to the issue of free silver. Throe dates for holding the conlvoution were pro posod-May 9 by Mr. Townsend of Oregon, June 14 by Senator Tillman of South Carolina and July 1 by Mr. McCraw of West Virginia. A pech by nx-Sonator Gorman in favor of holding to precedent and naming a date later than that for the convent tion of tihe party in r- wovr had coni siderablo influence in causing inde ponldence day to be cho9senf. After the committee had selected the "Gate City" of the West the Kansas City booimors held a jolliica.. tion meeting in thleir rooms at the Raleigh. Ex-Gov. Stone addressed the gathering, predictin.g that those who attended the convention w~ouIld depart with praises upon their lips for thoe hospitality they had1( received andl( that the Ilnminoo of thoe convent tion would be the victor at the p,olls in November. TVhe vote fixing the date of the con vention was ini favor of July 4I, 27 votes; Juno 14, 2!. votes; May 9, .1 vote. A speech wvhich hand a great deal of influence in fixinig the date wvas made by ex-Soniator Gorni. Hie said that four years ago it mighat have been wvell to held thie conven tion early, as the party then1 took a -no0W posit ion, one wIhich (1rove many13 of the loaders out of the party or inIto tempa)rary ret ireiment.
