The Interior Department officials Lave
disposed OF pension claim that has for
years been a veritable cause celebre. 1t
was the claim of Cyprert P. Gillette, OF
What Cheer, Keokuk county, Iowa, for
total blindness. 1t had been pending since
1873, and had been repeatedly rejected by
different Pension Commissioners. It final-
ly came up on an appeal before Assistant
Secretary Hawkins. who decided in Gillette's
favor. The amount which Mr.. Gillette will
receive is about $40. 900 in arrears, as well
as monthly pension in future OF S72. This
is said to be the largest sum ever paid to a
private soldier as pension.

IN case before the Supreme Court
of the United States last week growing
out of the Iowa prohiDitory liquor law
which forbids any transportation COM
pany from carrying liquor into that
State unless il shall have been furnished
with a certificate of the auditor of the
county to which such liquor is to be
transported showing that the consignee
is legally authorized to sell it, the court
in declaring the statute uncOnstitu-
tional, said : The power to regulate
or forbid the sale of commodity after
it has Neen brought into the State, does
not carry with it the right and power TO
prevent it's introduction by transporta-
tIon from another State" In regard
to this decision the Philadelphia Times
remarks
The power OF a State to pass laws
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquors within its bOr-
ders has been upheld by a recent de-
cision of tie Supreme Court of the
United States. But the same court on
Monday made another decision that
knocks large hole in the wall that
prohibition States like Iowa and Kansas
are trying to rear against the liquor
traffic. The Iowa statute prohibits a
railroad company from carry liquor into
that State unless furnished with a GER
tificate from the Auditor of the county
to which the consignment is estined,
declaring that the cousignee has a right
TO sell it. The Chicago aud North
western Railway refused TO accept a
shipment o: ), 900 barrels of beer unless
accompanied by the certificate required
by law, pleading the statute as jusIih-
cation for the refusal. The case was
carried TO the Supreme Court. which
decides the law unconstitutional. as in
terfering with the freedom OF commerce
between the States, and holds the com
pany liable for its refusal TO carry the
beer. The decision Is TO the effect that
a State has no power 10 prohibit the
Importation from another State of any
article of commerce. Under this ruling
a State may deprive its citizens OF home
made stimulants, but cannot prevent
their getting drunk on liquor manufac-
tured in another State, il they wish to.

Two State Elections will take place
next month. Rhode Island will vote
for State officers a0d members of the
Legislature on "Wednesday next, and
louisiana will go through the same
process on the nth. The Democrats
elected their candidate for Governor in
Rhode Island year ago and think they
can do so this year, although the State
IS Republican. The campaign in Lou
lsiana Is exceptionally bitter, the Re
publican candidate for Governor being
Henry G. Yarmouth, and his Demo
cratic opponent ex Governor Nichols.
Both are men of ability aud while the

When il Is remembered how much has

qualities that attract the multitude,
nor has he accumulated the renown
which belongs to an extended career;
but, on the other hand, he has made
none OF the antagonisms which are us-

In brief, Mr.. Harrison is not stronger
