Decision for the State.

The United States Supreme Court today
decided in the case OF John Elliott against
the State of Louisiana to compel the latter to
levy tax to certain bonds. that the Court
could not assume to the executive power of
the State and that political power cannot be
Ousted and judiciary set in its place.
A decision was rendered by the United
States Supreme Court today. in the case Of
the States of New Hampshire and New York
VS.. the State of Louisiana and her executive
officers. These were suits on repudiated
Louisiana bonds. which individual bondhOld-
ers of New Hampshire and New York had
transferred to their respective States, that
they might bring original suits in this court
against Louisiana, to compel the latter to
fulfill its obligations. This court holds that
suits are in effect, no suits of the States of
New Hampshire and New York, but suits of
individual citizens of those States VS.. another
State that the States of New Hampshire and
New York are merely endeavori to act as
collecting agents for their citizens, and that
this cannot be allowed.
The judicial power of the United States
does not extend to the suit commenced and
carried on as these are, by individuals against
one of the States of the Union. Actions can
not be sustained and the bills were dismissed.
Opinion Of Chief Justice Waite.

WINTHROP.

There are three boys residing in this viii
lage that will undoubtedly exercise great
caution the next time they go sliding in
the public highway. Monday Mr. Gray resid-
ing on the old Daniel Chandler farm in the
edge of Wayne, came to Winthrop village
with load of butter. just as he was driving
past where the old WAYNE road intersects the
road passing by the M. c. X. r. station.
three boys on their bellies on two sleds
dashed together came down the old road with
rapidity of lightning almost. The point of
intersection was such that the sleds would
hit the fore legs of the horse, which was
young and sprightly. The horse seeing her
danger instnctively reared on her hind legs
and the boys and sleds shot directly under
the horses belly and across the road. No
damage done except one of the boys back
was slightly grazed with the horses hoof as
she came down after rearing on her hind legs
and broken thll. Those who witnessed
the scene say it was very thrilling adven-
ture,

DEATH OF GOV. STEVENS.
His Body to Lie in State Until Thurs
day-James >. BOynton Sworn in.
ATLANTA, Mar ).

ATLANTA, Mar D.
Hon. James S. Boynton, president of the
State Senate, arrived this morning and was
sworn in az governor, by Chief Justice
James Jackson. He Immediately ordered
an election to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Gov. Stevens, on the Gath of April,
and called the legislature to meet May to
receive the returns.
The democratic executive committee of
State have been called to meet Thursday, to
consider what action is to be taken. The re-
mains of Gov. Stevens will be carried to the
capitol today, to lie in state in the hall of the
House of Representatives until Thursday
next, when they will be inferred at p. M.
in Oakland cemetary.
The committee of the legislature is acting
with the citizens committee, and indications
are that the funeral will be overwhelmingly
the largest ever seen in Georgia. The city
is heavily draped, and flags are at half mast.

The Washington correspondence OF the
Boston Advertiser says: 1T was the Reed
rule which enabled the bill to be passed.
Conceived as an instrument to prevent the
passage of the Senate bill, it became the
instrument of the moderate republicans.
When Mr.. Kelley found that the House
was bent upon having the Senate bill
rather than nothing, the Reed rule enabled
1t to be sent to a conference committee,
and thus gain the perfected bill.
Without it the Senate bill would
probably have been passed with
all its defects. The New England repre-
sentatives, led by Messrs. Robinson, Reed,
Rice and Dingley. were largely instru-
mental in bringing about the result.
While they have acted constantly with the
ways and means committee, their influ-
ence has largely moderated the arbitrary
views held by its members. They have
finally. by hard work. been largely in
strumental in bringing about the satisfac-
tory conclusion of the winters work"

The Forty-seventh Congress left rec
ord behind it which may be studied with
much satisfaction. Its path has been in
the right direction. The republican ma
jority has proved by its acts that it has
been attentive to popular sentiment and
mindful of the public interest. The step
taken toward reforming the tariff and cut
ting down internal taxation is right. With
an overflnwing treasury after provisions
made for meeting all expenditures of the
government. and reducing gradually the
public debt, it was high time to cut down
war taxes and afford some relief to the
people. The democratic side of Congress
struggled hard to defeat the reduction Of
taxation which has been made. and rem
dered the task an arduous one for the
small republican majority to accomplish.
but it has been done in spite of the OPP
position and the country is grateful at
the result. Some of the features of the
new tariff bill and the changes between It
and the senate bill are as follows:
In the metal schedule thirty-two changes
have been made. two of which are merely
verbal. In comparison with the Senate
bill iron ore has been advanced from so to
IS cents per ton, pig iron from $3.50 to
1912. and the paragraph so amended as
to include scrap steel. Steel rails are ad-
vanced from sl5.6S to Sl7. The rates on
bar iron. polished sheet-iron. steel ingots.
blooms. slabs, etc. etc. have been changed
to correspond in the main with the metal
schedule of the Ways and Means bill. The
Senate rates in the lumber schedule have
not been changed. The only change in
the sugar schedule is on sugars from thir
teen to sixteen Dutch standard. the rate on
which is raised from $50 to 2.75 cents per
pound. In the cotton schedule proviso
has been inserted making the duty on all
cotton cloth not exceeding 200 threads
TO the square inch if unbleached. ETC.,
and worth more than eight cents per
square yard. or if dyed. printed, etc., and
worth over thirteen cents per square yard,
40 per cent ad valorem. Jute butts are
taken from the free list and made dutiable
at IS per ton. In the wool schedule q
paragraph is inserted making the rate on
cloaks. dolmans. ETC.. forty-five cents per
pound. plus 40 per cent ad valorem. Salt
in sacks. bags. etc., is put at twelve cents
per 100 pounds, instead of ten cents, and
salt in bulk at eight cents per 100 pounds.
instead of six cents. Only three changes
have been made in that part of the bill re-
lating to internal revenue. The provision
which repealed the taxes on capital and
deposits of banks and bankers has been
changed so as to include also national
banking associations. The date upon
which the reduction Of the tax on tobac-
CO, snuffs. cigars, cigarettes. and the re-
duction of the special license taxes shall
60 into effect. has been changed from July
to Nav l, 1888.
