The Supreme Court has rendered its opinion declining to pass upon the con stitutionality of the dispensatory law of South Carolina, by which the State con trols the sale of liquors. The case came up on a writ ot nabeas corpus to release a State official, who had seized a barrel of liqnor under the law. Chief JuBtice Ful ler said the court did not think it neces sary to pass on the constitutionality of the liquor law. The officer was in contempt in seizing tne liquor neiu by a receiver. For this reason he should be punished witnout reierence to tne constitutional question involved. C. F.

The report re fers principally to tobacco refunds, in which the irregularities are alleged to have occurred. The amount involved is on their freight trains.

J Henry fWnekly Oroolar Lttr-No. I The Exposition management has re newed cause lor congratulation on each succeeding day in view of the fact that the fame of the Midwinter Fair is spreadingso rapidly and so satisfactorily iu the East that the number of Eastern visitors who are to be expected during the winter seems sure to succeed their most sanguine expectations. The news papers of the large Eastern cities, and those of the small towns in that part of wie country as well, seem to have tackled as kindly to our Exposition proposition as those who are near by, and who might therefore be expected to reap a more di rect benefit from it. But among all the nice things that have been said in the Eastern papers in this connection none has proven more valuable as an adver tisement than an editorial utterance in the latest issue of the Review of Re views, one of the most conservative periodicals in the country. This utter ance was as follows: "Th Exposition will hi-lp to give dullnito form to many a man vague pluui lor rUltinf the PuUb Coaat. and that nerlmm will ba ita fraataat aarrica to ita country. Everybody la the Eaat iutenda aometime to make a trip to uiunua, out toe aistanoe la formidable, and aid men are dying every day who had meant ainue 1S4S toaee the Golden Gate some time or other, but had never got started. The (ut of the Midwinter Fair ahoold transform general Intentions Into epeoiflo plana. Patriotiam. If otmng else, abould Impel every American who ran poeaibly afford it to aee for himself the wondera that lie upon the western margui f thia glorioua oonntry." The above paragraph most assuredly echoes Eastern sentiment and goes a great way towards dispelling the idea which some California still cling to that the influx of Eastern visitors will not ba large. The railroad people have long ago recognixed this fact and are now making elaborate preparations for transportation. Strangers are certainly coming to the Pacific Coast this win ter by thousands, and when they get here, thanks to the eleventh-hour rail way arrangement, they are going to have an opportunity to visit the entire Coast, so that San Francisco can not justly be said to reap even the flon'B share of the advan tages at hand. This fact is becoming more widely recognized as the date for the opening of the Fair draws near, and there is a general feeling of pride in the coming Exposition, and of determina tion that it should be everything that has been promised for it. An experiment was made on Sunday last in the way of charging admission to he Exposition grounds. The only special attraction offered was a balloon ascension and a parachute jump from the airship when it was at the height of 1,000 feet. Otherwise there were only the buildings to see and the workmen pushing them along toward completion, yet nearly 4,000 people jiaid 28 cents each to gain admission to the grounds, and several hundreds have paid the same admissii a on each succeeding day during the week. This is accented by tne management as unmistakable evi dence of the fact that the drawing pow ers of the Exposition have not been over estimated. When once the Fair is started there will be no doubt about liberal patronage. It is the intention of the management, however, that special features shall be widely advertised during the entire du ration of the Exposition, and it is to that end that days have been set apart for special observance under favorable auspices for the entire term. In this way more than half the days of the Ex position have thus been programmed. For the first month the programme is not an elaborate one, inasmuch as the opening days of the Exposition are nat urally supposed to take care of them selves. The California Pioneers, how ever, nave their day in January, having selected the 24th. Stanford university will celebrate on the 26th, and Butte county will turn out her entire popula tion on tne w. in i ebruary there will be a grand musical festival on the 8th: the Pacific Coast Association of Fire Chiefs will celebrate on the Sth, North Dakota day the 14th and Idaho the 15th. The Benevolent Order of Elks will con duct a very interesting observance of tbe 17th of February as their special day. Southern California will turn it self loose on the tilth. The Young Men's Institute will have the 20th, Santa Crni county the 21st and Washington's birth day will probably suffice as the special feature for the rest of the month. In March there will be another grand musical festival ou the 8th, the Teach ers' congress on tbe 18th, a geographical congress on the 10th and a characteris tic celebration of St Patrick's day on the 17th. Tbe state of Michigan and the state of Nevada have the 12th and 22d of March, respectively, and Sierra county will celebrate on the 14th. In the month of April the university of California has its day; so also does the Order of Chosen Friends and the Knights and Ladies of Honor. The Native Sons of the Golden West also hold forth in April, having selected the SOth for then day. The Odd Fellows have selected April 25 and the Grand Army of the Re public the 27th. Tbe programme for May is the most complete of all so far, beginning on the 1st of the month with California dav. and inclnding between that and the 21st a half dozen county days, to say nothing of a grand San Rafael rose festival on the 7th and German May festival on the (th, Knights of Pythias day on the 10th, a tl v fgr the Ortjer ot Druids on Je 16th, Good Templars' day on the 57Ii and a characteristic Decoration day ob servance on the 80th. The closing month of the Fair In cludes a Foresters' day on the 9th, United Workmen's day on the 19th and a day to be observed under the auspices of the San Francisco Federation of Women on the 31st. In addition to these the Italians will celebrate the 2d, Santa Clara college the 8th, Santa Clara county the 14th, Sonoma county the 15th and the Bunker Hill association the 18th, the entire enthusiasm of the Exposition to reach Its climax in a grand closing cele bration on Sunset day, June 80, 1W4. .
