The Original Package Politics.

A correspondent in Iowa asks:
"What is the duty of Congress, and es-
pecially the republican party, in view
of the recent remarkable decision Of
the United States Supreme Court? '
This is a natural and legitimate inquiry,
and one which can not be avaded.
The republican party is not in the dodg-
ing business, and should not be put in
any false light by trimmers and skulk
erS.
Whatever it has to do should be done
promptly. 1t would be mischievous to
Oily daily. The situation is peculiar.
The republican party is neither oppos'
ed to prohibition nor in favor of it.
The attitude which it occupies is that
each State should be allowed to regu-
late the liquor traffic within its own
border to suit itself. If majority
want prohibition let them have it, and
if they want high license let them have
that. This is free country, with each
State at liberty to regulate such mat
tiers TO suit itself. There is not a state
in this Union where the people, ire
spective of party, do not occupy this
ground. The exceptions to the rule are
too insignificant to be counted, almost.
Congress should take the ground, say
ing, in effect, to the several states,
adopt whatever police regulations you
see fit touching the liquor traffic, and
the authority of the General Govern
ment over interstate commerce shall
not be allowed to interfere.
That is precisely what the Senate
Judiciary Committee proposes to do,
and it should be done promptly for two
reasons; first, because prompt action
would prevent any practical results
from the original package decision, and
second, for political reasons. 1t would
be possible for saloons to sell drinks in
original packages supplied from
over the state line, and unless Congress
is reasonably expeditions some such de-
vice may be resorted to for the evasion
not only of prohibition but of high IL
cense as well. The time to kill that
scorpion is while it is in the egg. The
third party is anxious to make capital
out of the matter, raise a false issue,
and divert attention from National pol
itics. Duty and expediency unite in
demanding prompt relegation of the
question of temperance legislation to
the several State Legislatures. 1t
should be done so promptly and pos
itively as to stop the discussion and
prevent it from being a disturbing ele-
ment in the next Congressional cam
paign.-Inter ocean.

Closing of the Tariff Debate.

Next Wednesday the Tariff bill will
be reported from the committee of the
whole to the House and probably pass
ed. 1t will be an occasion for the pub
lie rejoicing in all the large industrial
centers of the country, while the Amer
lean farmers may well begin to look
forward to better times and better pri-
ces for their produce. The almost i'm
mediate effect of this bill, as soon as it
becomes law, will be to stop the inn
portation Of millions of dollars worth
of agricultural products which may
just as well be grown in this country.
OF course the Democrats objected to
Major McKinley's resolution, and en-
deavored to make somewhat bolster
GUS claim that it was intended to stitle
debate. The chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee, however, was
ready for them, and he ventured to re,
mind the opposition that in the Forty
fourth Congress but one day had been
given to the consideration of the Tariff
bill; in the Forty fifth, six days, and in
the Forty-eighth nine days. No one
who has followed the record of the past
ten days can possibly deny that not
only has the general question IF pro-
lection been very fully discussed, but
the opposition has bad abundant OPP
portunity to answer. The advantages
of keeping the debate to the subject IN
hand are manifold, and any additional
time would only give opportunity fol-
spreading out in every direction, and
could result in no particular good.
AS The Press pointed out OH Monday
thus far the Republicans have had the
advantage of the opposition in the de
bate. They have kept closely to the
question under consideration, while or
the part of the Democrats the eiior,
has been to scatter as much as possible
and to discuss irrelevant matters. The
fact that the bill must be reported next
Wednesday ought to have the effect OF
keeping the Democratic leaders down
to the subject.
| The importers of New York and rep
resentatives of foreign houses in the
United States are very much troubled
at the turn things have taken in Wash
ington. They had yainly hoped that
at least six months would elapse after
the bill was passed before it went into
effect. Now thatit is pretty well assur
ed that only thirty days will intervene
they are very much worried and are en-
deavoring, by exaggerated and mislead
ing statements, to defeat it altogether
This is impossible. AS soon as the bill
passes the House the Senate will bt
ready to take it up, and the intention
is to pass it as soon as it can be careful
ly discussed in that body in all its bear
ings.--Re,o York Press,

May Prohibit Nuisances.

The following was telegraphed from
Nevada, Story county, to the state pa
ers, Tuesday: At the opening of
court yesterday, Judge Hindman in his
charge to the grand jury gave the Origi-
nal package business black eye in
this section. He charged them that
Notwithstanding the late decision of
the United States supreme court, no
person has right in this state to keep
place for the sale of Intoxicating
liquors of any kind, either in original
packages or otherwise, and it was the
sworn duty of the jurors to report to
the court by indictment any person en-
gagged in the keeping of any such place
without regard as to where such liquors
came from. He takes the grounds that
the state has the inherent right to pro-
hibit and abate nuisances, and punish
persons engaged in maintaining nui-
sance within its borders and the ques-
ton of interstate commerce has moth
ing to do with it. That the keeping of
place for the sale of liquors as bev-
erage is nuisance, whether dealt out
in original packages or in some other
way, and that the late decision is not
in conflict with this view. Popular
sentiment in this community is with
the judge in the stand he has taken and
keepers of original package joints in
this county will have up hill business
all the way. AS yet none have opened
up in this county, but several have paid
the internal revenue tax and are max
ing ready to open.

The Iowa republican state central
committee has prepared a plan which
it is hoped suggests way for a more
effective organization OF the party than
it has heretofore had. The plan is said
to be that, substantially, upon which
the party in Indiana is organized. The
proposition, in brief, is TO concentrate
the working machinery of the party in
the state committee, acting in commune
ton with the county committees.
Now there are congressional, judicial,
senatorial and representative commit
tees into the bargain, each intent upon
its own business, and necessarily pro-
motive of confusion in carrying for,
ward anything like systematic or care

general success of the party in the state
1t would certainly seem to be wise to
get rid of these cross-purposes, to the
extent it can be done without interior.
ence with the freedom of district and
local politics. The republican party in
this state has not been dependent upon
thorough campaign organization, and

good time to introduce it. But the re-
publican state central committee is to
remember, among other things, that a

erable power, might not be as popular

THERE is great deal of discussion
as to the manner of party platform
building, one great newspaper of intu-
ence in the party advocating the ap-
pointment of permanent committee
for that purpose. While no serious OBJ
jections could be urged against such a
policy, it will be as readily believed
that competent committee can be Sc
cured from the convention for this pur-
pose. it must be acknowledged that
the convention itself must be thorough
iy familiar with and pass upon each
plank, otherwise its power is delegated
to the chosen few who, however con
scentious and patriotic, may not repre-
sent the majority of opinion. The best
results will be secured if the platform
recommended to the convention il
thoroughly and honestly considered by
that body. Let ample time be given 70
full and fair discussion and the plat
form will be all right.

TIE death of Hon. Joseph Lyman
was announced last Thursday, and
caused universal sorrow among the peo-
pie of this district. AS lawyer he
was able and conscientious, and his re-
cord as a congressman is without a
faint. The title of Honest Joe Lyman
was not misapplied. Those who heard
him speak on public affairs and who
were familiar with his record could not
but be impressed with his sincerity
and candor. The later years of his life
have been filled with pain, and his fac
ulties were in a measure impaired, so
that death comes as a relief. Peace to
his ashes.
