Wednesday, January 4, 1893. It will not mill to the reputation of South Carolina, for public moral ity, when the tidings go abroad that the state has monopolized the busi ness of selling whiskey. tain and that is that it gets worse and worse, and unless there is come improvement we will have to depend on candles for light. The Columbia Register says that '.f Judge Haskell had not run for Governor in 1890, that the Whiskey and Railroad Rills would not have been passed. The News and Courier it was probhbly done, if the Register is corret, to punfsh Judge Haskell, but how it can hurt him we arc una ble lo divine. In its frenzied efforts to defend the legislature, the Regis ter fery often gives it harder licks than any of the Conservative papers. This insinuation of the Register puls the Legislatuae in the position of a petulant child, that hurts itself Hr. t for the sake of giving troubl to o:h era. 1,0 W. and undertakes to direct and eon-1 for it shows ille Rail- trol the sale of intoxicants.

This chief temptation to intemperance among young and old will thus be removed from our bor ders, we trust, nevei to return. The inveterate dniudkard and habitual tippler will continue to drink—as t hey doubtless would under any law—- but the youtl of our State, let us hope, will be saved from the curse of rum. With this hope, the Advocate accepts the Evans Dispensary law, and pray that God may make it a great blessing to our people.—South,- ern Christiau Advocate. At the last session of the South Carolina Conference, that body de clared ilself as unanimously in favor of prohibition, and we believe that the least suggestion looking to the State going lido the business of sell ing whiskey, would have been repu diated not only with indignation but with a feeling akin to horror and dismay; and if this be true then it is, to say the least, surprising to find the editor of the official organ of tills large and influential denomina tion, and who is supposed to repre sent the views of his church, declar ing himself as in favor of u measure ! that simply takes the traffic from the ! individual dealers and gives the State a monopoly of the business. Ques tions outside of the domain of mor- |.ility may be treated entirely from ; the standpoint of expediency or eon* j veiiiviice, but where a iitcrul issue j : is in o wd t • can bj no com*: If the selling of whiikev is immoral and unholy in the indi- how wofully a number of jeojit’o have departed , i from the essential principles of pop- in settled i nliir go'crnmeut. The old idea that half pint, j government wa;- a creature \f the people for the protection of the indi vidual in his life and property has sprouted out of ail reason. That this creature of the people may opdor the sale of poison to be discontinued as injurious to the life of the neople, that it may even prohibit the manu facture of liquor entirely is perhaps true, hut that it should be used, us is the Government of the United 'States, to levy tribute upon the peo ple for thu benefit of persons in u few lines of business, or should go into the business o'f selling liquor, is one of the most curious perversions of governmental function with which we are familiar. The new law is calculated to em barrass some of the citizens of South Carolina, for it will afford no relief to the thirsty man with fifteen cents in his pocket. He must put tip a half a dollar, or fall in With some friend who is armed with a flask. But it is very questionable whether this embarrassment will curlail the rale of liquor, for the mutt who Car ries a flask is apt to drink earlier and oftener than the man who depends upon the saloon for his drink. The new law creates a number of new offices.
