Sunday Worldjei Fair opening, such as it is, has proved a failure. The Sunday attendance does not average half the week day attendance, and grows less with each succeeding Sunday, and every Sunday a larger and still larger proportion of the exhibits are closed or covered up. The workingmen, in whose interest Sunday opening was chiefly advocated, do not attend, to any considerable extent. Various reasons are assigned for this failure of the workingmen to attend the Fair Sundays. .The best of these is probably to be found in the fact that, from the first, a very large proportion of the fair has been closed Sundays, and especially the machinery exhibit, which, to a large proportion of workingmen is the most interesting part of the exposition. Another valid reason is that the workingmen find that after a Sunday spent at the fair, they are tired out and not fitted for work the next day. The Chicago workingmenarenow making a concerted effort to have Saturday afternoon made a half holiday until the end of the exposition, the idea being that they can visit the fair Saturday afternoons and rest and recuperate the next day. In the meantime it now looks very much as though the directory would soon order the fair closed on Sundays, and that that was the best course they could pursue.

The State Sells Liquor.

The new law in regard to liquor refreshments went into effect in South Carolina, July 1, and hereafter state dispensaries will take the place of saloons, and the profits will be turned into the state treasury. Under this law the state directly controls the liquor traffic. It will of course, be an experiment, and will have to be given a good trial before attempting a decision. It is such a radical change that it will take time to get it into proper shape. During the past two months the governor, accompanied by State Commissioner D. B. Traxler, has visited Louisville, Pittsburg, and other cities, and examined into the cost of the manufacture and sale of liquor in bottles. It is intended that the state shall retail only firstclass goods, without adulteration, and at a figure that shall net to the state treasury about the average profit of a first-class case. The new law provides that liquor can only be had at state dispensaries in charge of state officers, and in sealed packages of from half a pint to five gallons, which must not be opened on the premises where sold. The dispenser must be a total abstainer. Every ounce of alcoholic liquor sold within the state is to be purchased by the state Commissioners and the purity passed upon by the chemist of the South Carolina college. Drug stores are prohibited from selling intoxicating liquors of any description. . Dispensaries can only be located in a town upon a petition for their establishment, ssgm-d by a majority of the freehold voters. Of the profits one-half go to the county treasury and one-half to the municipal corporation where the dispensary is located. The saloon-keepers say that the law is Tillmanism of the most odious type, although for forty years it has been in successful operation in Norway. There are six prohibition counties in the state, where there will be no dispensaries. The practical workings of the law will be watched throughout

the entire country with a great deal of interest, and by all temperance people except political Prohibitionists, with great hopes for its success. - The political Prohibitionists as a class, don’t want any temperance reform except it comes in their own particular manner. One good result this system will undoubtedly accomplish if it is persevered in, and that is the practical abolishment of the pernicious habit of “treating.”

About That New travel Road Law.

The matter of the three proposed gravel roads in Marion township aggregating 17| miles in length and now in process of being “viewed” and surveyed, is one of the utmost importance to the people of Rensselaer and Marion township. These proposed roads will be an all-prevailing subject of discussion for some time to come, we therefore give herewith an abstract of the course of proceedings to be followed, as gleaned by a careful study of the law under which it is proposed to build the roads. The viewers and engineer, who are already at work, will report to the next term of the Commissioners’ court, as to location, length, plans, profiles, estimated cost of the roads, the kind and quality of material to be used, its depth, width &c., and which report must be published in full, in some newspaper. The commissioners must then order an election, by the qualified voters of the town and township, to determine whether or not the roads shall be built. All the roads proposed will be voted on at the same time, but the ballots shall designate each road separately. If the roads or any of them receive a majority of the votes cast, the commissioners shall proceed to construct them. Bids are to be advertised for in at least one county paper, and one Indianapolis paper. The contract is to be let to the lowest responsible bidder, but no contract shall be let for a bid higher than the estimates of the viewers. To raise money _to build the roads, the county issues bonds about the same as in the case of the gravel road law of 1881. These bonds must be in five equal series, one series payable in one year, one in two years, one in three years, one in four years and the other in five years. The law does not permit longer or shorter terms for the bonds, than as just stated. The bonds are to draw not higher than per cent, interest, and can not be sold for less than their face value. To meet these bonds, as they mature, and the interest thereon an annual tax is levied upon all the taxable property of the township in which the roads are built, included all towns or cities, in such townships of less than 30,000 population. This tax must be levied to meet the bonds and interest as they become due, thus making it necessary to pay the entire cost of the roads in five years. The question of the maintenance of these roads, after they are built is of great importance. -Gravel roads built under either of the two older free gravel road law’s, are maintained and kept in repair at the expense of the county. Under this new law, the question of maintaining and repairing Is ina terrible jumble. Section Seven reads as follows: All roads built under this act shall be free of toll, and shall be kept iutrepair by the county in which they are located, and the towns and cities in such townships at which they terminate. And it shall be the duty of the Trustees of said townships to levy annually such a tax as will cover the expense of maintenance: Provided, That such levy shall not exceed ten cents upon each one hundred dollars in any year. While the above section seems to divide and scatter the responsibility for keeping these roads in repair, among the county commissioners, the township trustees and the town board; the cost’ of such maintenance and repairs must evidently come out of the township, as no one but the township

trustees are directed or authorized to levy any taxes for the purposes. Although the county, the township and the towns are all to have a hand in maintaining these Jbads according to the section just quoted, yet Section 10 provides that that the Board of Commissioners shall “appoint a competent superintendent” “to supervise the construction and maintenance of such road or roads.” The beautiful muddle made by these two sections, is increased by section 8, which evidently, although somewhat indirectly,—lays upon the Township Trustees the duty of maintaining the roads, after they are built, as it directs that any surplus left after paying for the construction of the roads, or delinquent tax collected, shall be paid to the township trustee, and be “by him kept and used as a fund for the maintenance of such roads in his township.” The “competent superintendent,” required in section 10, is to-receive the munificent salary of not to exceed $1.50 per day, for time actually employed, and no provision made for his expenses.

Dwiggins Settled.

Lake County News, The Dwiggins settled with the Lowell and Hebron bank creditors and the receiver has been charged. The bluff suit against Sheriff Friedrich was also dismissed. By the terms of the agreement the Dwiggins retain the contracts ani collect moneys on same, but all receipts are to be turned over to creditors of Lowell and Hebron banks until all such claims are settled. Then the contracts and income are theirs again. We are told the amount of creditors’ claims is about 816,000.

A Sleeping Car Episode.

A certain employee in the passenger service of the Pan Handle tells a story that is too good to keep. A few nights ago a newly married couple entered a northbound train at Kokomo bound for the World’s Fair city. They occupied a berth in a sleeper, and their love making was one of the attractions of the other occupants of the car. They cooed and billed to their hearts’ content. The couple did not start to retire until all the other passengers had gone to bed. Just before getting into her berth the bride said sweetly to “Dear, I am going to get a drink of water’ When you hear me coming back stick your foot out of the berth so I won’t make a mistake.” When she turned, to come back every berth had a foot exposed.— Logansport Journal.
