WASHINGTON, April 29.-The United
States Supreme Court has pronounced
unconstitutional State laws provid-
ing for the seizure of liquor brought
into a State in its original pack.
ages. The court holds such laws to be
an interference with the interstate
commerce act. The State may regulate
or prohibit the sale of the liquor, but
can not prohibit its transportation from
another State and delivery to the i'm.

The case in which the decision
was made was that of Gus Leidy & Co.,
plaintiffs in error, VS.. A. j. Hardin.
1t was brought here on appeal from

fright, began swimming away from the

chief concern is his own freedom.

truths are very apt to drop old ones en-

the great extremes to which men oscil-

against party, sect or system as those
who have forsaken it and embraced an
other. Yet it is out of the old, and by
the sincerity with which they cling to
it, that they have been able to grasp
something larger and higher; and, while
they may rightly rejoice in their fuller

the lesser light which has thus guided
