pAKorA,s EXCEPTIONAL CLAIM.

A very unique development of the original
package hair-splitting is suggested by the
Netc Era, a paper published in South Da-
kota. The position is that in the Constitu-
ton Of South Dakota, under which that
State was admitted to the Union, prohibi-
ton section was inserted. Congress sane
toned and approved the Constitution, in
cluding the prohibition section; the Presi-
dent issued. his proclamation declaring
South Dakota admitted to the Union, with
the prohibition provision condition of its
admission. Consequently the South Dakota
view is very decidedly that the original
package ruling cannot apply to South Da-
kota.
The theory is principally instructive as
showing the ramifcations which are possible
under that decision and the ingenious
leugths to which the careful division of
hairs may be carried. 1t may be regarded
as unique that q State could be admitted to
the Union upon conditions which violate
what the Supreme Court declares to be
the Constitutional provisions of the United
States; or that Congress by accepting
a State Constitution could ALLEVIATE its
powers in favor of one State, and thus give
it powers denied to its sister States. But
such developments of this theory are not
more remarkable than the principles under
which, in given State, the citizens of other
States, or even aliens have privileges denied
to the citizens of that State itself, or than
the very decided intimation of the Supreme
Court that Congress ought to pass general
act giving to the State Legislatures its right
to regulate certain class of Interstate COM
fSerce.
The most remark able quality of that
original package decision is that by follow
ing its logic to its ultimate conclusion al
most anything is possible. 1t will not do to
be too certain that this Dakota theory may
not turn out to be the true one; and that
the binding way for any State to adopt pro-
hibition, is to be born again into the sister
hood of States, and to have prohibition
clause in the Constitution accepted by Con-
oress

PITTsBURG SURPRISES EVERYONE.

Pittsburg is always surprising people. We
who live here are astonished at her progress.
When a convention, like that of the Sun
day school teachers, brings here strangers
from the farthest corners of the continent
the new Pittsburg extorts admiration and
praise on all sides. The industries of Pitts
burg the causes of her wealth, are known
everywhere; what they have done for the
city, in the last ten years especially, can
only be enforced by ocular proof. Mr.. Nor
row is right once more, when he insists that
the Sunday School Convention will benefit
this community materially as well as relig-
iousIy. The good report of the godly taken
into thousands of distant places is boon no
city should despise. The Alabama delegate,
who said that, after twenty years absence,
all that he recognized here were the rivers,
voices the views OF most of the visitors, we do
not doubt

RESERVES DAY.


A Special Celebration by the Veterans of
the Pennsy Ivania Reserves.
The State Commission in charge of the regi-
mental memorials on the battlefield of Gettys-
burg have fixed on Grand Army week, the last
of August and the beginning of September, for a
special reunion and celebration by the veterans
of the Pennsylvania Reserves" This is lust
tribute to that famous organization, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. 1t was the only body of
State volunteers that maintained intact its
original form, and under the impulse given to
il by Governor Curtin, and with such Generals
as Mccall, Ord, Meade, Reynolds, Seymour
and the long list of it's own distinguished field
and brigade officers. it won for itself and
for the State of Pennsylvania the highest
praise for gallantry devotion and discipline
The last Division Commander was General 8.
W. Crawford. and among its best-known
Colonels were the gallant McCandless, Bruce
Ricketts,, Dick and on lis rolls were many who
were promoted to other commands. The esprit
de corps of the old Reserves" has always been
maintained, and they are entitled to this and
every honor.
The State Commission is rapidly completing
its work. and will, no doubt, present an ex-
haustive and final report to the next Legisla-
ture. Pennsylvania Day. last year was
memorable occasion, and "PennsylvanIa Re-
serves Day. this year will, undoubtedly, call
who still proudly cherish their memories of
their services in the old division Such a trib-
ute emphasizes the peculiar relation it bore
alike to the State which organized it and to
the United States which gladly welcomed it as
part of It's great army of volunteers. There
can be no better page in the record of the
States share in the war for the Union than
that which shall tell the story of the creation
of the Pennsylvania Reserves Division, of its
long arduous and admirable service, of its
splendid roll of honor, OF its veterans who have
won distinction in civil life and of its glorious
past. The reunion of its members at Gettys-
burg on day specially set apart for them will
be the crowning success of the series of his
torical gatherings on that field Of the great
turning point of the war for the Union.

to the point of attack without halt. Miss
Willard wished the convention to set BY
fourof their Sunday lessons each year for
the inculcation of temperance. To this end
she presented with much force the best ar
guments for her cause. One Of the most
cogent was that now that in all the States
but eleven temperance is taught five times a
week in the public schools, the churches
ought to reinforce the lesson at least on
four Sundays in the year. In spite of Miss
Willard's eloquence the convention voted
for compromise. which divides at best four
lessons between missionary and temperance
teachings. But Miss Willard realizes no
doubt the value of an entering wedge.

The nomenclature of society babies has un-

not recognized as good form, and studious ef-
fort is made to give names that defy abbrevia-

odious. and nurse girls and servants are eau

under penalty of dismissal. There is restora-

Governor is one which will compare fayorably

opposition to the ticket-and the signs that

A Constitutional Puzzle.

To the Editor of The Dispatch,
If Congress should pass the bill granting the
power to the States of controlling the manu-
facture and sale of liquor, oleomargarine etc.,
would it not be necessary for the different
States to pass other laws than those now in
force, or at least re-enact, them? In other
words can Congress pass any bill that will be

BEAVER, June N.
THAT the States would have to pass new laws
In such a case is quite probable. There is more
doubt whether Congress can transfer a duty
imposed on it by the Constitution to be per-
formed by the State Legislatures.l

The fact that there is a parrot in New

photographic mention by various esteemed
