C. ; Clubs Cannot bs Licenced. The following editorial on the club license law, taken from the Philadel? phia Times, in such a clear analysis of the difference between private clubs and public houses that it will no doubt prove of interest to our readers, coming as it does upon the heels of the decision in the Columbia Club case : "As the flurry over the decision that clubs must have licenses to keep aud use wines aud liquors is passing away and sober common sense views are be- ' i g taken, the time for considering the subject in its practical form has arrived. Whether liquor is sold or consumed by club members is cf little importance in view of the fact that a club is a private establishment which the public have uo right to enter. The license law of this State was designed only for houses of public entertainment. An inn. or tav? ern is a public house open to everybody who behaves himself, and the right to sell liquor in such a house is given only to those who can show that the inn or tavern is a necessity for the recommen? dation of the public. A club is not a house of that kind, hence it cannot be said to be necessary for the accommoda? tion of the public, The case, therefore, is what the lawyers call a casus omis sus, ao omitted case. No provision being made by law for licensing clubs, no license is necessary. **If the steward of the club permits persons who are not members to buy wioes at the club he violates the law aod ean be punisned just as any other persoo who sells to stranger?. Aod if aoy person sets op a place to sell liquor be cano ot claim immunity from the law by having a club organization using bis place as its headquarters. His act would be a violation of the law, Dot an evasion of it. "In most of the States which require clubs to take out licenses there is DO provision of law requiring the club to show that it is a necessity for the accom? modation of the public. Licenses may be obtained at any time by paying the fee, so that the law is more a law for the collection of revenue than to limit or restrain the sale of liquor. The Legislatore of this State may require clubs to be licensed, but ic has not dose so yet, aod until it does so we do not anticipate that there will be any trouble with legitimate clubs, while the sham concerns will be prosecuted and broken up." William Henry Harrison. William Henry Harrison the ninth President of the United States was of an old Virginia family, around whose mansion is spread the beautiful estate of Berkely. In it a signer of the Declaration of Independence had been born, and again one of the Pres ! ?dents. Harrison was born February 9, 1773. Fie graduated at Hampden Sid? ney College, and then went to Phila? delphia to study medicine But he w s i a born soldier, and when an army was gathered to fight the Indians in the I west he immediately joined it. At the I age of nineteen he was with Wayne in all his conflicts with the northwestorn tribes, where he greatly distinguished himself by his wisdom and bravery. In 1801 he was chosen Governor ofthat immense district now including the States of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. The population of this, tract was much scattered and exposed to continual attacks from the Indians. For nearly fifteen years he remained io this far west and distant country, watch? ing it settle into peaceful and wonderful prosperity. He was inaugurated Chief Magistrate in March, 1851 ; and per? haps no man since Washington has received such an eethusiastic and spontaneous welcome as the hero of( Tippecanoe. For only twenty days did hs bear the clamor of office seekers and the fatigue of the routine of state busi? ness ; then his slight constitution, al? ready undermined by his Western life, gave way arid just one month after his inauguration he died. lie was an hon est mao, a brave general, and a true lover of his couutry. The last words j his lips uttered ware a wish for the perpetual existence of the Constitution. At his death he was in his siity-ninth year -Detroit Free Press. -??.
