The grain crop hero is very sorry

spring oats we have about one

corn is looking real promising. We

but Il is a step in the night di-

The above is copied fEom the

paper Published at Jackson and
issued from tie State capitol
and il circulates throughout the
entire State. The assault upon
the physicians and druggists OF
Oxford is unjustly severe. The
charge that our physicians and
druggists have drowned the tai
ents of scores of bright boys
sent to Oxford by Illegally pre-
scribing to them liquor is not
only not borne out by the facts
so far as the conduct of our
physicians and druggists are
concerned but so far as the
boys are concerned the charge
is not at all warranted. There
has been 10 complaint here or
else here for years of the boys
at tie University in the matter
of drinking liquor. 1t is an in
justice on our community as
well as to the boys to say that
"scores upon scores of .brigh;

SUSTAINED.

The Supreme Court of the
United States has sustained the
constituiionality Of the prohibi-
ton law of Iowa. The point at
issue was the right TO manufac-
ture intoxicating liquors solely
for expectation to other States
as against the law of the State
prohibiting the manufacture of
liquors except for certain pur-
poses. The court holds that the
State law prohibiting both the
manufacture and sale of intoxi
eating liquors except for these
purposes is valid aud that
spirits cannot be manufactured
in Iowa to be exported to other
States and sold.
Oxford eagle. (Oxford, Lafayette Co., Miss.) 1876-current, 1888-11-15

The decision of the Slpreme
Court of the United States In
the great Iowa liquor case was
rendered By Mr.. Justice Lamar.
The liquor distilling interest of
the State of Iowa claimed that
the la. there was In conflict
with that pros ;sion of the Con-
stitution of the United States
which reserved 10 Congress the
sole right to regulate commerce
between the States and that the
State had no power to prohibit
the manufacture of spirits for
export and sale in other States.
In speaking for the Court Mr..
Justice Lamar has not only sus-
tanned himself ably and well but
he has maintained the high
character of that exalted tribu-
nal for its accustomed ability
and learning. The new judge
seems to be at home in dealing
with questions involving the
powers reserved to the States
and those within the province
of the Federal authority. Iu-
deed, to those Who know the
Justice and are familiar with the
nature of his researches a peru.
raj of the opinion will only serve
to remind them of the fact tina,
the Court could have found no
better exponent of its judgment
than the opinion Of Justice La
mar in this case. The lawyers
ofthe country will be gratified
to see in the opinions of Judge
Lamar a thorough familiarity
with the preeedenss and the
principles underlying the cases
