Loud Calls for Boutene's Bill.

the country is just getting aroused over
the recent decision of the supreme court in
the Iowa case, in which it was held that
Intoxicating liquors could be taken into
prohibition states and sold in the original
packages. The decision, as soon as it was
rendered, was seen to be very damaging to
prohibition, but the many ways it could be
made to cover evasions of prohibition laws
were notfully understood.
Fall River, for instance, is prohibition
city, and it is very close to the Rhode
Island line. Rhode Island is not prohib-
ition state. Depositories for Intoxicating
liquors have been established close to the
line, aud whisky, wine, beer, and other
liquors are sent to customers in Fall River
in kegs or bottles. jhs5 as they may wish.
There is nothing to prevent the packages of
intoxicants from being taken into that city.
Fall Riveris only one of thousands of
similar instances. An extraordinary trade
in intoxicants in original packages has
sprung up. The prohibitionists protest. of
course. against the constant violation of the
state laws, but their protests are not needed.
The remedy for this condition of affairs
is believed to be the Boutelle bill, which
amends the interstate commerce act so as
to provide that nothing in that act shall be
so construed as to authorize the sale of in
toxicating liquors in any state con-
trary to the laws thereof. This
amendment is in harmony with
the decision Of the chief justice
of the supreme court, who said in his
decision that congress had the power to put
up the bars which. the court showed, were
down. This bill of Boutelle's will not meet
with much opposition, probably. Indeed,
in view of the strength of the prohibitionists
| in a great many of the states, very few
members of congress would dare to op-
| pose it.
This original package decision has ex-
cited an extraordinary amount of discus
sion. The fact that three of the justices
dissented from it has been sort of rallying
point for all of those who find fault with it.
Some very able lawyers have not hesitated
to express the opinion that it is not in &C
cordance With the intent of either the con.
stitution or the interstate commerce law
1t is pretty safe to say. however, that the
decision is a sound one. The question 1t
| decides is one of those concerning which
there is always difference of opinion.

The Gag Law APP led.

TIE republican majority of the House
have adopted a resolution that no amend
ments TO the tariff bill shall be offered after
Wednesday noon, next, and that the dis
cussion of that measure shall cease at that
time. This resolution was offered by the
committee on rules Mr. Blount, who is now
a member Of that committee, pointed out
strongly and eloquently that the resolution
was unjust and unfair to the minority,
and that the republican man.
ayers, in taking away from the
WAYS and means committee the right which
it has under the rules TO control the debate
on the bill, committed an outrage upon the
people. Mr.. Blount spoke with considera-
BILE feeling. He must have known, how
ever, that he was only wasting his time.
Nothing he could have said would have
caused the republican managers to change
their plans.
1t is well understood now that the repub-
lican caucus decided before the tariff bill
was taken Up just how much time should
be given to its discussion. The republican
managers knew very well that the bill
could not be considered as it ought to be.
and as its importance demanded. in the
very few days that they set apart for that
purpose, and they also knew that the demo-
Gratis would not make preparation
TO take part in the debate if
there was little or no prospect
Of their getting a chance TO do SO. They
are carrying out their programme to the
letter. The powerful minority which, &C
cordipg to the popular vote at the last
national election. represent the majority of
the people, are prevented from discussing
measure in which every citizen is inter-
ested, and which is by far the most import
ant one before congress. The tariff bill
when it passes the House will lot be the
result of the best judgment of that body.
1t will be the result Of the deliberations of
the republican caucus.
Some amendments may be permitted. but
Representative Butterworth, one of the
ablest republicans in the House, had not at
tackled the bill in speech that carried
CONSERVATION into the republican ranks.
The republican organs are trying to coun-
teract the effect of that speech. They may
be able to do so to some extent, but 1t looks
now as if Mckinley and his friends would
agree to a reduction in the tin plate duty,
and in the duty on some other articles. If
the bill should pass in its present shape, or
with only a few notifications, it would be
known as the gag-law tariff bill.

Carlisle Wins

Mr.. Carlisle will fill the vacancy in the
Senate caused by the death of Senator Beck.
1t is unnecessary to say that no better
selection could have been made.
Mr.. Carlisle is just in the prime of life.
He will be So years of age next September,
and he has been in public life for thirty
years. He was elected to the Kentucky
House of Representatives in 1859,
and to the Kentucky Senate in
1866, and reelected in 1862 In
1871 he was elected acknowledgement of
Kentucky, and served until August, 1875.
He was elected to the forty-fifth congress,
and to each succeeding congress, and was
speaker of the forty-eighth, forty-ninth
and fiftieth congresses.
Mr.. Carlisle possesses ability of very
superior order. He is one of The few men,
bers of the house of representatives who
always commands attention when he ad-
dresses that body. The only fault that
has been found with him as a
leader is that he is not aggressive
enough. When speaker he was absolutely
impartial. He never permitted partisan
feelings to influence his judgment or his
rulings. He will be an honor to Kentucky
in the Senate, as he has been in the House.
His party will miss him in the HOUSE. where
his wise counsels have been of incalculable
benefit to it and to the country.

Hir. Northen's Views.

The IshmdeIite has an interview with
Mr.. Northen. the well-kuown candidate for
the democratic nomination for governor. on
several important questions in which the
people Of this state are interested.
Mr. Northen is not an advocate of the
supremacy of corporations. He says that
every corporation has its guaranteed
rights. and the state Is bound to protect
them" He is opposed to granting any
rights to any corporation tn t en-
croaches upon the reserved rights of
the people. He doesn't own stock
in any corporation, and has never
therefore, that thus far he has been wholly
free from corporation influences. He an
nounces that he is in favor of the railroad
commission. About everybody appears to
be, and it would be rather odd if be were
not. Even the railroads ara not hostile to a
commission.
Mr.. Northen denies empbatically that he
has promised to confer favors on persons
who have agreed to assist him in his efforts
to get the governorship. 1t would
seem as il this denial were
superhuous. 1t is doubtful if nybody be-
lieves that he purposes to reach the guber-
Material chair by means of argains. He
has never shown himself to be that sort of
man. He has always appeared to be
straightforward in his dealings, and it is
quite safe to accept his statement that if
elected governor he would enter upon the
discharge of his duties absolutely free to do,
In all things, what he thought was for the
best interest of the whole people.

Peter Cooper Hewitt son of ex-Mayor
Hewitt. OF New York, was outrageously
treated by policemen on Tuesday. The cir
cumstances were these: When the audi
ence left the Madison square theater, where
there had been a concert by the Ladies' Or
chestra, the street was blocked by vehicles,
and cab stood in the way of some ladies'
who wished to enter their carriage. Mr..
Hewitt asked the cabman to back his horse.
The cabman refused, and Mr.. Hewitt In
patiently seized the horse by the bride and
pushed him back. Thereupon the cabman
rose in his seat and dashed Mr.. Hewitt over
the head and shoulders with his long whip.
Mr.. Hewitt responded by promptly jump
ing upon the box and breaking his cane
over the claimants head. A policeman who
had been a spectator of the whole affair
then stepped to the front, grabbed Mr.. Hew-
lit by the collar and forced him to go to
police station. The cabman, who was in
the wrong, refused to prefer complaint,
and Mr.. Hewitt was informed that he was
free to go. At this time thu ex-mayor ap-
peared on the scene, and did some lively
TALK &. 1t is expected that the situation
will be made rather unpleasant for the po-
| liceman who figured in the affair.

A Stone From His Brothers Shirt
Front


He entered Broadway car at Canal street,
and, as every seat was taken, says the New
York Sun, he stood up and hung to a strap
On his left hand, which hung by his side was a
large ring. and everybody at once noticed that
the stone was gone. The ring seemed to be
valuable enough for the stone to have been A
diamond, and presently man leaned forward
and said:
-a'sExcuse me, sir, but you have met with a loss
The stone is gone from your ring"
''Wnat! Sc it is" exclaimed the man, as he
lifted his hand.
He dropped his eyes to the floor, and in five
seconds every other eye in the car followed suit
Heads were bent down, words of coincidence b.
gan to be uttered, and two or three men got
down on their hands aud knees and looked under
the seats. After five minutes search, one of
them finally asked:
when did you miss it:''
Just now"
"Think you lost it in the cars
Dunno"
''Was it very valuable?"
''Well, priced it highly as keepsake"
Another hunt was made, but with no better
success Then the owner of the ring began to
feel in bis pockets. and presently he took out a
shirt button, with bit of wire TO it. which
somehow fitted into the ring, and after placing
it he held up the ring and said
Thanks for your interest, good people. lis
a button from the shirt of my brother George
He stepped off the car with bow and a
smile, and nothing was said for a couple of
minutes. Then man with deep bass voice
called out:
"And who in - is his brother George, I'd
like to know
But no one could say. Ali were busy in won
