Itohblns, of Oneida, caused a surprise among many of the residents of that villuge by coming to life. Mrs. Itob blns had been 111 for a few weeks, and Sunday morning the Attending physi cian gavo up all hopes of her recov ery, and It was but a few moments after.ward that the fell Into a stupor, after which she was pronounced dead.

Dut It Is will known that nowhero In tho world arc tho relations of tho sexes as puro as In the United States. Possibly an extension of this freedom will work no greater harm than the freedom already enjoyed. Nevertheless, we aro convinced that tho tubject Is worthy of serious con sideration. It is not prudent, to say J tho very least, to allow u young man and young woman to take a ride alono that will keep them away until after dark. They should not be subjected to needless temptation. Hut It should bo mentioned that bicycle parties have como to diminish very much tho peril under consideration. They arc very numerous, making It unnecessary for any young woman to rely for company upon a single escort. It should be men tioned, further, that If she Is disposed to be wayward, no restraint that may be put upon the freedom Introduced by the wheel, will keep her In the path of virtue.

Prices of silver goods have, to some extent, sympathized with the steady decline In the bullion value of silver during the last ten years. The effect of this depreciation In value Is felt chief ly In the plainer articles of solid silver In which labor Is a relatively small factor, but In the production of the more elaborate works, in which artistic skill and labor are of prime Import ance, there has been no material de crease In prices. For the famous mag nolia vase, that marvel of gold, silver, and dull enamel which attracted uni versal attention at the World's Fair, yet still awaits a purchaser, you will be asked to pay $10,000; while $2,000 Is the price set on a gorgeous tea set in sliver and gold in which a score or more of the favorite flowers of Ameri ca are exquisitely reproduced In Sou chou chasinir. A revolver whose handle Is of sliver, inlaid with carbonized iron, studded with turquoise and lapis lazuli, is held at $500, and for a hand mirror In sil ver, heavily engraved and set with baroque pearls, picked up In 'the rivers Ohio' Tennessee and "Wisconsin, $400 is asked. The array of splendid art works In any one of the leading silver houses of New York Is an exhibition of rare interest, and one which cannot be equalled anywhere In the world In richness, beauty, taste, and monetary value.

From tho Rochester Herald. "Do you not think," said one of the ablest and best known physicians In Western New York, who had been prompted to raise the question by what he had seen during his rides In the city and the country both by night and day, "that the wheel Is Introducing a laxity In the relations of the sexes that has not been tolerated heretofore?" Very often do I see instances of freedom per mitted to young men and women with wheels that would not be tolerated for a moment under other circumstances. So much am I impressed by the possi ble harm that may come from t that I think that you ought to call attention to the matter and invite discussion." It Is with great pleasure that we com ply with the request. There can be no question that the wheel has Introduced an unusual degree of freedom in the boclal relations of the sexes. A young woman, whose mother would not per mit her to go riding or walking with a young man any considerable distance without other company is allowed to take a bicycle trip with him out Into the country and to be gone several hours. Not Infrequently they do not come back until after dark. But whether such an increase of freedom has been abused, it Is Impossible for us to say. Whether steps should be taken to limit, It we are not prepared to say either. We should dislike, however, to see anything done that would limit the use fulness of the wheel. Even if It has Introduced an unusual degree of free dom In the social relations of the sexes, that has been abused to some extent, we are Inclined to the belief that tho benefit derived from It has been many fold greater than any evil.

Ave. In consideration of the present ns naulta upon South Carolina's dispen sary system, Senator Tillman, was asked a day or two ago by tho New York Sun to give a statement of the de velopment and Justification of tho law from his iolnt of view. He said: "The prohibition sentiment, always strong In South Carolina, had been growing stronger, and It seemed' a po litical necessity In 1892 that something should be done to recognize It. Ac cordingly, in August of that year, In or der to prevent a split In the new Dem ocracy of the state, boxes were placed at the primaries and voters were asked to vote on tho question of prohibition or no prohibition. Strictly speaking, It was not an issue, but an abstract proposition merely. Prohibition re ceived a little short of 40,000 no prohi bition received a little under 30,000 (which, you see, was a majority of about 10,000 for prohibition) and some 20,000 voters did not vote at all. This was a sufficient cue for tho General Assembly which met that fall, and a stringent prohibition bill, containing what seemed to the prohibition leaders to be the best features of tho Maine, Iowa, and Kansas laws was put ln to be amended somewhat and to pass the Houso easily. It did not reach the senate until at week before adjourn ment. I bad pointed out as governor the Impossibilities of enforcing pro hibition, and had spoken of the dispen sary system then and still In operation in A'thens, Ga., as a possible model for us. The consequence was that Sena tor John Gary Evans of Aiken, later governor, Introduced a dispensary bill proposed by myself, with tho house prohibition measure as a basis, which was substituted for the house bill. It was rushed through, the house had no time to amend It, and naturally It pos sessed many defects; but It has worked better than Its most sanguine sup porters could have believed. THE PLAN DESCRIBED. "The state buys and owns all liq uors until they are sold to the con sumer. All persons are forbidden to traffic In any kind of distilled or malt liquors, but the state Is authorized to establish dispensaries for their sale. A Mate board of control supervises tho business, a chief dispenser pur chases the supplies of liquor and fills the requisitions of local dispensers. In the various counties. These county dis pensaries remain open from 8 n, m. to 6 p. m. every day except Sundays and legal holidays; liquor is sold in pack ages of one-half a pint to Ave gallons, and beer Is siold In pint bottles. All bottles are supposed to have the palm etto tree blown in them and to bear a label with the seal and the motto of the state upon It. Liquor cannot be sold to minors or habitual drunkards, and the package must not be opened upon the premises where It Is bought. If a. stranger deslre3 to buy liquor or beer, he must be Identified by some re sponsible local person. He fills out an application, giving Ms age and resi dence, and stating the amount which he desires to purchase, without desig nating the use to which ho Intends to put It. A person can purchase distilled liquor only once a day, but he can buy beer as many times as he likes In a given day. The Dispensary law contains all the safeguards against the Illicit eale of liquor which the Prohi bitionists have been able to hit upon In forty years, and we have learned many others from experience. Those who want liquor, or who need It, can get It, as free American citizens. There Is no pretence at performing im possibilities." "Just how did you find the law to work?" HOW IT WORKS. "Well, it went Into effect July 1, 1893. The night before, every bar in the state had closed Its doors. Of course, we had been planning for months, to man age so Important a business, but no ope had any Idea of Its magnitude. All of the legal whiskey trafltc of the state was turned to the capital as a source of supply. In Columbia a big hall, 165 by 35 feet and' three stories high, was made the location for the state dis pensary. Fifty or sixty employes, working ten hours a day, were kept busy bottling liquor which the state chemist had examined and approved. Of course, great quantities of liquor had been put in stock beforehand, and naturally many trains brought into the state, after the law was enforced, much contraband liquor. But, crude as the law was, and hard as was the opposi tion of the liquor dealers and their friends on the one hand and of the crank Prohibitionists on the other, it was admitted to be an almost Instant success. Tho state dispensary was soon found to be more than self-sustaining. In July twenty-nlno dispen saries were opened and running; In August thirty-eight; In September, forty-seven; In October, fifty-one. The salaries of local officers ranged from $300 to $1,000 a year. The cheapest grade of whiskey was sold at $3 a gallon. In seventeen of our chief towns 570 arrest a for drunkenness were reported in July and August, '92, and only 2S3 In July and August, '93. In September, '92, these same towns reported 230 arrests for drunkenness, and In September, '93, only 126." "Other results which might perhaps bo called social must have been notice able?" OTHEU RESULTS. "Yes, sir," Mr. Tillman replied. "A pure article was guaranteed, and the consumer got full measure of stand ard strength. There was no considera tion of personal profit, and hence no inducement to force sales. The bottla was not opened on tho premises and Whence treating was Impossible, and the i' liquor was sold only in the daytime. Moreover, the appetizing adjuncts of Ice, sugar, lemons, &c, were absent. The liquor was sold for cash only, there were no weekly slates standing against the workingman till pay day, and he took his wages home. There were two other great social Improvements. The keepers of gambling places, pool roorrai, and dives found their business practic ally wiped out, and the local political rings which usually control elections in municipalities found themselves shorn of tho power usually wielded by the saloonkeepers. The Irglslature bullded better than It knew. The price of liquor was not made high enough so that tho bllrtdi tiger or the wrltur gllng In of liquor was' made profitable, and It was also low enough eo that tho stato mado no great profit, ftndi what there -Was went to tho reduction of the general tax. The profits of tho liquor dealer wero saved to tho consumer, who could give the money to his fam l'y. The prollt now goes to tho free school fund. In tho old days at my homo In Edgefield Cdurt House thero would bo gathered on tho salo days in January and February perhaps eight hundred or a thousand men from tho country, and I regret to say that any where from fifty to two hundred of the men would go home drunk. On my re turn to Edgefield after the Dispensary law was in operntlon I attended one of these sales. It was a cause- of re mark that not a drunkard had been seen nnywhere." "Thero must have been great opposi tion to the enforcement of the law?" "There was, indeed. Some citizens in the towns onoosed it because their tax es had been increased by the failure of license money. Of course, tho liquor dealers and their friends, all hoped to see' It fall. Hard aB this opposition was, tho antagonism of the old Btato officers and their friends, who had been turned out of power by the new regime, was twice as hard; but that was pure ly political, and in the face of tho bene ficial results of the law all these have been obliged to give away." AS TO DRUNKENNESS. ' "Yes, sir; and I could quote you from the message of Gov. Evans submitted to the general assembly In February, 1896, to prove this. Ho addressed a let ter to the various mayors of the state, asking them If drunkenness and crime and the consumption of whiskey had Increased or decreased under the dis pensary plan, what the number of plain cases of drunkenness had been compared with the previous condition and also what the general effect of the dispensary law had been upon tho peace and good order of their towns. It appeared from these reports that drunkenness had decreased for the en tire state 57 per cent, that the num ber of cases tried In mayors' courts for drunkenness and disorderly conduct had decreased over 66 per cent., and that the consumption of whiskey had decreased nearly 48 per cent. Gov. Evans nlso pointed out in his message that the dispensary law had caused a great moral reform. The tempta tions for the youth of the stato Had been swept away, and the Influences of the saloon keeper in elections also. During the last holiday season thero had been but one homicide In the state, a record hitherto unheard of, and that was the result of an old feud. It had been the custom of the colored people, he said, to drink to excess on circus days, but the dispensary Is al ways closed on such occasions and the crowds are now sober. Moreover, the sale of liquor by the state was con stantly on the Increase, which pr,oved not that more liquor was drunk In the Btate, but that the Illicit sale was fast decreasing. The net profits of the sys tem operated under the medium price list that I spoke of was over a quarter of a million dollars. Gov. Evans praises tho law unqualifiedly. It re moves the temptation from the young and will eliminate drunkenness more and more, and, as I have said. It Is even causing the old toper to control his appetite so that he can Indulge himself now and then. Gov. Ellerbe In his message of last January Is hardly less enthusiastic In support of the dis pensary plan." OTHER STATES CURIOUS. "Oh, yes; North Carolina Is beginn ing to adopt It locally, and in North Dakota and other Western States they are discussing its advisability. I be lieve that it will be adopted by many states." Senator Tillman makes no apology for his connection with the dispensary law. It Is easy to see that he Is veiry proud that he had to do with Us passage and execution. He is not less proud, however, of three other depar tures which signalized his term as gov ernor of South Carolina, which his friends consider very Important, if not historic. One Is the adoption of the new constitution, by which, with Its educational qualification, the negro Is disfranchised and It Is not necessary any longer to cheat him out of his bal lot. Another Is the establishment of two industrial schools, each success ful, with Its complement of about 400 students. The third Is the emancipa tion of "the people" from the "aris tocracy" as expressed In the Tlllmanlte Jargon. Chic. & N. W. 107 lOSVi 10TH lCStt Chic., D. A Q 7AH ' 7IH, 7TV4. 78H C. C. C. & St. Ij.
