CHARLESTON. s. c., Oct. 22.-Among the
cotton received here Saturday was one
lot of fifteen bales from Cheraw, s. c.,
which was covered in bagging made from
pine straw. The entire lot was quickly
disposed OF and readily accepted by the
sor ers. 1t is probable that by next
spring more than ten factories for the
manufacture of pine-straw bagging and
mating will be in operation between
Raleigh, N. c., and New Orleans. The
adaptability Of the bagging to the cover
ing of cotton will result in a wonderful
revolution in the South. 1t is made OF
the needles or leaves Of pine found in the
Southern forest. These needles can be
made into covering at a cost which, 1t is
said, is bound to run jute bagging out OF
the United States. l is fur Their asserted
that the green neeules yield oil enough
to pay the entire cost % this treatment

PROHIBITION PROHIBITS.

Decision of the United States Supreme
Court in "a Celebrated Case From Iowa,
In Which the State Courts are Sustained.
WASHINGTON Oct. 23.-The Supreme
Court yesterday rendered a decision in
the celebrated case OF John S. Kidd,
plaintiff in error VS.. l. E. Pearson and S.
j. Loughran. Kidd was an Iowa distiler,
who claimed that under the State Prohi =
bition law the State officers could not
prevent the manufacture of intoxicating
liquor tor export to another State. He
sought to restrain the State officers from
closing up his distillery. He claimed
that he was licensed by the board Of
supervisors of Polk County to sell liquor
for mechanical, medicinal, culinary and
sacramental purposes during the period
of the alleged violations of the law. His
business in the sale OF liquor for other
purposes without the State he claimed
came under the head of Interstate com =
merce, comfortable only by Congress,
and the State law, if it sought to prevent
that commerce came in conflict wi h the
Constitution of the United States; he
claimed that the statute legalized the
manufacture of alcohol for certain pur-
poses and recognized the fact that it was
per Sc nuisance.
Judge Lamar read the opinion Of tho
court which was long and comprehen-
sive. He said that it was of the genius
AMI character of the whole Government
that its action should apply to those ex.
ternal things which affected more than
one of the States, but not to those thin IS
which were completely within a State.
The manufacture of liquor within the
State of Iowa was no less a business
within that State, because the manufact-
urer intended exporting it 1t was
clearly within the power Of the State to
regulate the manufacture of liquor with =
in its limits, whether for domestic or
foreign consumption. The petitioner,
said the court, male a grave error in
saying that the statute authori lied the
manufacture of alcohol. The law con =
tanned sweeping prohibition, and all
that saved it from complete abolition
were the exceptions in favor Of alcohol
used for mechanical, medicinal culinary
and sacramental purposes. The decision
of the Supreme Court of Iowa is az.
firmed.

PROVIDENCE. R. l., Oct. 25.-At the meet
ing of the American Missionary Society
last night Rev. j. R. Mclean, colored, OF
Paris Tex, said: we do not drink as much
as the whites because re could not pay for
it, and we do not inherit as do they. an
appetite for it. i think that one of the
chief reasons for our race voting against
prohibition is that they consider the lib
erty to drink an attribute to freedom. An
other reason is that it seems to promote
social equality, dissolute whites often con-
descending to drink with negroes. Then
again. many colored preachers and church
members think liquor favors the flow Of
religious feeling"

THOSE OBSTINATE SIOUX.

The Negotiations with the Sioux Chiefs
Comes to Naught, and No Further Neeo-
tiations by the Government Probable
/ The Indians Nav Have to Give Up Their
Land ANY Way.
WASHINGTON, Oct a2.-The negotiations
between the Sioux and the Government:
are at en- end ana it is more than likely
that Congress at the next session will
amend the Sioux act so as to provide for
tho opening OF the great reservation
without any further attempt to gain the
consent of the Indians. The increasing
demand of the West for more land for
settlers, and the fact that the Sioux can
make no progress without the reduction
of their reservation, has convinced the
authorities that public policy demands
that no further attention should be paid
to the treaties under which the Indians
are constantly falling behind in their ef-
forts to p--rent the wiping out OF their
tribal relations. 1t is believed that the
demand for more money for this land is
simply an excuse urged by the older In
dams to prevent progress, and that If the
increase were granted it would be fol-
lowed by demand for more. The Pres.
| ident and Secretary Villas are not in.
cIined to think that Sl.25 is too much to
allow the Indians for the land, provided
that the land were all alike and open to
settlement under other than the home
stead law, but there is considerable land
that will never command fifty cents per
| acre, and even where the land is of good
quality. it is considered as a good deal
of burden upon the settler to be COM
peeled to live five years upon the land and
pay the regular minimum price per acre
also.
The chief reason for refusal, however,
to grant the r, quest that the price Of this
land be raised is a belief on the part Of
Secretary Villas and the friends of the
Indians generally that the posses sion of
so much money must retard the progress
OF civilization among the Indians. Where
there are plenty of funds in the treas ury
to support the Indians. they will not
work, but cling to their tribal rela-
tons and traditions. The Osages OF the
Indian Territory are an example OF this.
They are the wealthiest In the United
States. They have, in addition to the pos
session of plenty of land for their sup
port and for farming purposes, fund
in the United States Treasury, the inter-
est OF which is sufficient to give every

money that one-half the annual income
is withheld by the Government, and
yearly goes to increase the large priaci-

stoppage of progress among the Osages.
They do not work themselves, but hire

fculty is experienced with other Indians
having money sufficient to buy them food
and clothing. Ii is quite likely that the
concessions made to the Indians will all
be added to the amendment to be made
to the act at the coming session, but it is
about settled, unless Overtures come from
the Indians, that no further negotiations
