The Proposed Liquor Amendment TO
the Constitution.

WASHINGTON, July 26.=ScnatOr
Blair from the committee on education
and labor, to-day submitted u fa-
vorablc report from majority OF the
committee on Il joint resolution pro-
posing that an amendment to the Con-
stitution in regard TO alcoholic liquors
and other poisonous beverages be SUBJ
United To the legislatures OF the States
for ratification. The amcndmcntsprO-
vidcs that from and after the year 1900
the manufacture and sale and imp0r-
ta,ion o! distilled alcoholic intOXicatin.
liquors, except for medicinal, mcclian-
zeal, chemical and scientific purposes,
and for use in arts, shall cease.
The report which accompanied the
proposed amendment says the COM
inittcc does not deem i, necessary
TO discuss the evils OF the use Of alco-
hol but believe the people have II ri Slt
to decide what measures shall he taken
for the regulation or eXtirpati0n of
this traffic. "Why,' IL asks,
.slould they be denied tho opportu-
nity t0 be heard in the only forum
which can pass upon the question.
When any considerable and respccta-
Die portion of the American people de-
sire to plead their case in the great
tribunal Of sovercigns, who in free
country decide every question OF fun
dalnental issue in the last resort, il Is
the duty Of congress to enact such pre-
liminary legislation as is here propos-
ed, so that under tho forms OF the
Constitution they can he heard on the
question Of it, own amendment. To
deny this is the very essence of dcs-
pOtism. and for congress unrcaSon-
ably to refuse the hearing is just cause
for revolution.

Mr.. Randall's proposition to give
$40, OOO, 600 tn the tobacco and whisky
interests of the country will not meet

country. A country so sparsely. set
tied with manufacturing industries as
the South hardly needs any of Mr..
Randall's protective views forced up

representatives voted against his
measure. We have had occasion be-
fore to doubt Mr.. Randall's democracy
