The Senate Judiciary Committee Makes an
Adverse Report ON Mr.. Frye's Bill.
WAsHIEGToN, March 19.-The bill introduced
by Mr. Frye to apply the laws of the several
States relating to the sale of distilled and fer
mented liquors to such liquors when they have
been imported we'll when manufactured IN
the United States. was reported adversely by
Senator George. to-day, from the committee on
judiciary. A minority report was also printed.
After a long discussion of the question the m la
jority came to the following conclusions 1T
should not be overlooked that the province of
State control over what concerns the police reg
ulaticns of domestic health, peace and general
good order and well-being within each State is,
under the Constitution, against in
trusion from federal authority as the regulation
Of foreign commerce by the general government
State authority. In the opinion of the commit
tee it Is best to leave the Question as it now Is
"a judicial one. in the highest interest of both
the federal regulations of commerce and the
State control OF its police authority"
A minority report, signed BY Senators James
+. Wilson, 11Ralls and Edmunds, says it
would that the legislative and judicial
depar tments of the government concur n the
answer that the character Of legislation pre-
sented by this bill is within the constitutional
power of Congress; that it does not violate the
Injunction of the Constitution that "a1l duties,
imports and excuses shall be uniform throughout
the United States" An importer of ardent
spirits, or of any other article of foreign pro-
duction, is en- Titled to further protection I'M
der the Constitution than is the dealer in like
articles OF domestic manufacture. The one pays
en- internal-revenue tax. the other pays tax
levied by the custom-house and what Congress
may constitutionallv say about one 1t may re,
peat to the other There ia nothing In the
bill, the minority conc udes. which suggests a
violation of the rule of unifor nifty prescribed
BY the Constitution. 1t proposes no new depart
