The cold blooded, heavy villain of the Panama canal tragedy ii now seen to be the sometime American Herz. Few great scandals have developed a viler wretch. Taken np by Baron Reinach and put by him in the way of making bis fortune, which he proceeded to do, Herz turned on his benefactor and blackmailed him for millions. Reinach could not pay and Herz threatened that he would publish all be knew in the Paris papers. A few days later Reniaih was dead. It would not be inconsistent with Herz's career to learn that be killed the baron himself or hired someone to do it. From base in gratitude to murder is not a too long step. Thb Citizen receives and hears more complaints than it prints about the bad air in churches. There may be one or two exceptions to the rule that all churches here are badly ventilated, but the exceptions serve to emphasize the general fact. It is singular that the best of attention is not paid to having pure air in the churches, so that the services may be enjoyed by all with their senses on the alert for the teaching thev come oat to hear. Bad air means drowsiness, a dullness of apprehension, followed, fre quently, by headaches. A second-rate sermon in a well ventilated church will probably do more good than a first-rate sermon that few can comprehend because of vitiated air. Let us have fresh air committees in all the churches. STATU SALOONS. South Carolina legislation ought not to astonish anyone these days, but the remarkable law just signed bv Gov. Tillman, by which the State becomes custodian of the whisky appetites of the people is certain to attract a great deal of attention. The central idea in the bill is that the State buys and dispenses all intoxicating liquors used in the State. H does so, too, at a profit of 50 per cent on whatever the liquor cost the State. There is to be a State dispensary which sounds better than saloon at Columbia and a bead dispenser. The law requires, as might have been ex pected, that he shall be a temperate man and give a bond of $10,000 for the faith ful performance of his duties. The liquor purchased by the head saloon keeper (or dispenser) is put up in half pint bottles, (nice business for the officer of a sover eign state!), "and when so bottled can not be unsealed by the county dispenser without violating the law." County dispensers are to "be appointed upon petition of more than one third of the freeholder voters ot the county, and he fore assuming the office he must take an oath for the faithful performance of his duty. The State charges, as has been said, fifty per cent, profit on its liquor, and the county saloon keeper charges fifty per cent, more, "which is equally di vided between the county and munieipal corporation in which it is located." Nor is this all. There are to be "county boards of control" who appoint the county dispenser and fix his salary. Their salary is two dollars the day when supervising the dealing out of liquor by the county dispenser. At least one dispensary will be estab lished in every county in which licenses are now granted. In counties that are now dry it will require a petition signed by one half the people to put the new law into operation. In counties and towns in which prohibition is now in force that law is not repealed by this Act. In other words, some parts of the State have one liquor law and others another. Fifty thousand dollars is appropriated from the State treasury, which sum will constitute the capital invested in the business until it is increased by the profits. M'hen a South Carolinian wishes to purchase whiskey from a dispensary he will be required to prepare a written certificate, containing bis name, age, res dence, kind of liquor wanted and for wbatpurpose. These wilt be entered in a book, which will always be kept open for inspection by the public. There are a multitude of other provis ions in this law. It is not believed that it can stand the test of constitutionality, in which case Tillman & Co. will proba bly move to change the constitution. WOMEN AMD HOR4U A Strauge Bit of News from a Woman Suffrage Slate. Wyoming Correspondence New York Sun. A thing inexplicible to the female suf fragists outside the state ia the passive position of the women of Wyoming on moral questions. The Cheyenne dele gates to the National W. C. T. U. con vention at Denver were reprimanded on this score. They replied with spirit and to the point. Their answer was to the effect that they were not hankering for advice from short-haired women and long-haired men; that they knew their business, and would not brook inter ference. There has never been in the state a prohibition movement of any consequence. Gambling is licensed, and there are games in every saloon in every town. There is not an institntion or a society for the redemption of fallen women. There are no women kwyers or doctors. In business there are about the same number ot women as elsewhere. Masrnant Trade and Protecton In Germany. Dr. Gcflckea, la the January Porn as. The greatest drawback still in the pro tective system introduced in 1879 by Bii mark, formerly an ardent free trader. First, it bas made life dearer by plun ; dering the masstt for the benefit of the few, because even if the wages bare risen, r-' is maintained but not proved, they - have not the same parch a ting power; . tbenbf excluding foreign, it has increased the internal competition and led to over production; while other States raising 1 theif tariffs equally- have rendered more ; difficult tb access of tbeir markets to German products. Therefore industry and tradt areiaa state of rt.gnation. SUITED TO THE SEASON. Dave Hiaks Tones Hla Lyre to Good Pnrpoae. Kane Kbeak, N. C. 1892, 24 Dec.

From the New York San. A young married man living on a fash ionable street in Saratoga, N. Y., who wanted to make himself of some use in domestic affairs, bought a live turkey for the family Christmas dinner and took it into the kitchen and with block and hatchet heroically decapitated it. The whole household had been summoned to witness his skill as an executioner. No sooner was its head off than the decapitated turkey gave chase to mem bers of the family. Out of the kitchen, into the dining room, nud up on the table, and into the sitting room, and into the parlor, and onto the furniture and against the curtains, and out into the hall, where, in an exhausting effort to climb the front stairs.it yielded to the inevitable. But there wasn't a drop of uiuua icn in tnut Dira s oooy. it naa bled copiously, and had literally painted the lower part of the house, and a good portion ot the furniture and the carpets and the curtains and the wall paper a genuiue turkey red. That young mar ried man has a long life before him, and a loving wife to share it with him, but she has now this terror hanging over mm: "John," she said, ' if ever you Benin do such a stup'd thing as to cut off the head of a live turkey in this house, I'll I'll look for a more sensible man when I marry again." OIR ROADS The Greatest Problem oftheAKe Lost Moner. T. K. Brunrr, in the Charlotte Observer. So far as I am informed, no country in cither the new or the old world has ever constructed public roads of permanent usefulness on any such basis as that in force in North Carolina. Nor do I be lieve that it will ever be done. This road question is to my mind the greatest problem ol the age. In our development of resources, and in striving after the elevation of all industries, including the betterment ol the condition ot all classes of our people, it stands first in impor tance. From the State Auditor's report there are approximately 250,000 head of horses nnd mules in North Carolina. A reasonable estimate of the cost to feed them would be 25 cents a dav. (8 1-3 cents per feed,) amounting to $62,500 per aay. And n l make a low estimate there are no more than 20 days in a year of enforced idleness because of bad roads, the cost of maintenance to the owners of this idle time is $1,250,000. This loss would he saved were the roads in proper condition. Suppose this amount could be applied, with all the force the penitentiary could supply, to the constrution of macadamized roads, how long would it be until the roads of the Mate would be a monument to our civilization ? LIFE IN NORTH CAROLINA. The deutists of North Carolina pro -pose to be substantially represented at the World's Dental Congress to be beld at Chicago Angust 17 to 26, 1893. Dr. Thomas M. Hunter, of Favetteville. and Dr. Sid. P. Hilliard, of Rocky Mount, of tne nnance committee, are making exer tions to this end. Jack Torane, colored, stepped on the toes of John D. Show of Wtldon, and immediately apologized. Then Shaw, whose toes must be miehtv sensitive. shot and mortally wounded the negro. snaw was arrestee. An $8,000 larm within three miles of a Cost Line depot, in Nasb county bas brought for the last three years an annual rental of $75, or less thancnougb to pay taxes on tbe property and insure its buildings.

As a young man Lord Rosebery set out with a determination of making a mark in the history of his country, and hitherto everything that he has attempt ed bas been attended by success. He has woo the Der1 , he has married the rich est heiress in the United Kingdom, he has become a cabinet minister, he has just been created a Kuight of the Gar ter, and if ho avoids the royal union pro jected he will eventually blossom forth into prime minister of the empire. On the continont his talents are held in even still greater estimation than in Eng land, especially at Paris and at Berlin, and he is a particular favorite of Prince I'.ismarck. Chicago News-Record.
