PROHIBITION.

The Supreme Court has given decision
in a Michigan prohibition case which sus-
tains the recent decisions in an Iowa case.
In both cases the decision Of the State Su-
preme Court was reversed. The principle
is now established that State has no con-
StitutiOnal right to compel or regulate inter-
state traffic without the consent OF Con-
gress. The police power of State. which
bad been held to be higher power than
the right TO regulate commerce, disappears
before these two decisions. The right TO
trade IS now supreme, and States must
take measures to preserve order within
their borders subject to this right The i'm
mediate effect of these decisions will be to
make prohibition national instead of a
local question. The power the Supreme
Court declares States do not possess, ex-
cept as it is conferred on them by Congress-
will be sought from that body. The far
reaching consequence of the two Supreme
Court decisions will induce many voters
TO support candidates for Congress who
will endeaYor to confer this right upon
States who are not on the naked PROPOSE
ton in favor OF prohibition. The court
has stripped the State of a power which
is essential to the regulation of The liquor
traffic. The New York Herald, which
certainly cannot be charged with a ten
dency to the unnecessary interference with
commerce, thus sums up the situation:
See where this decision leaves New York. A
liquor dealer OF this city has only 10 send a truck
to Jersey City for a supply OF whisky in TASKS
OF TO Hoboken for load of beer In bottles. he
is free TO sell this in the metropolis without an
excise license and without the payment OF any
tax. II enables llquor-deaIers TO evade
and defy local prohibition. tax or license laws.
The only remedy for this condition of
things Is in Congressional action. Congress
may confer upon the States the power the
Supreme Court has taken from them.
Meantime, prohibition parties upon local
lines are without purpose. Their sue
cess would mean nothing. Any law pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor within a State
will be void of effect until Congress has
taken action in the matter. Mr.. BouteIle
of Maine has introduced bill granting the
State the power which the Supreme Court
admits may be conferred by Congress.
The efforts of prohibitionists will now be
directed to the election of members who
Will not support prohibition exactly, but
support bill to give the States the power
they had been assumed to possess before
the Supreme Court took it from them. But
a somewhat important consideration ia the
matter is the fact that the States have to 90
to Congress for relief. This condition prac-
tically recognizes the Federal Government
as being inherently. by virtue of the Con-
stltutlcD, possessed of power which for a
hundred years or more we have considered
as being among the reserved rights of
States. Under the Supreme Court decision
Congress may withhold from States the
powers which the States never intended to
confer upon the General Government.

WHAT HE CAME HOME FOX.

There is certain frankness about Mr..
James V. Coleman's political aspirations
which imparts a novelty to the somewhat
prosaic occupation uf office-seeking Mr..
Coleman does not propose to run away
and take the chances of the nomination
starting in pursuit. He has been spending
some months in Europe, and freely admits
that he came home to enter the gubernato-
rial race. Probably Mr.. Coleman would
have returned in few years if there had
been no gubernatorial chair in sight, but
for the present pleasure of seeing him his
friends must thank his political ambition,
There is one thing that may be urged in be-
half OF MIR. Coleman's candidacy. He has
no political record to rise up against him.

but did not do anything or leave anything
undone to make deep impression on the
people OF the State. Mr.. Coleman's known
qualifications for the office may be traced
directly TO the late William OBrien. who
died possessed of an unusual amount of the
kind of qualifications deemed most essen
tial in modern political campaigns In adj
dition to this qualification lie is said to be a
"good fellow" liberal to his friends and SO
heartily disinclined to say mo" that he had
to go to Europe to avoid the consequence of
saying yes" These friends are unani-

Dr. Baum eister of the Mission was asked
by the defense in the case of William Sui

THE EUROPEAN WAR FOOTING.

Won Moltke's speech in support of the
military bill is suggestive of what may be
called an eternal climb 1t is imperative
he says, that Germany should have strong
military system. A strong government
alone could maintain peace. The idea
naturally occurs that this continual increase
OF force must have an end at some time.
There is limit to the number of men a
nation Of 100000 can maintain In the
form Of standing army. Without any
immediate danger of war Germany goes on
from year to year demanding more money
and more men for the army. A soldier is
only required to look at the present, but
statesmen are supposed to take a glance at
the future. Where and when will this in
crease in the military force end? There is
no way to avoid the conclusion that the
men in civil pursuits have to support those
in military training. The latter are non
producers. Every thousand men taken
from the workers and added to the idlers
increases the burden the former have to
bear. If there are three men and they en-
ploy one of their number to stand guard
while they work the two have to do the
work of three. The eight-hour worker be-
comes a twelye-hour worker under these

When the bow is given, as it generally is,
wonderlngly, the youngster marks one
stroke on the paper. When 100 marks,
children bury the paper when no one is
looking and at the same time make a wish,
At the end Of four days the paper is un-

gresham il he did not agree to change his
views on the Mckinley bill. They were
soon forced to acknowledge that the de-
vices of modern guns are mainly American,
that the most approved modern machinery
is American and that foreigners have copied
our models and secured our machinery,
thereby being able to send 117,o00 guns to
this country last year, while only $1,000
were made in this country. This is one OF
the results OF cheap foreign labor, Belgians
working at the trade for wages ranging
from 90 cents 10 81 80 day.
AS an evidence of increasing friendship
between Germany and Russia it is freely
asserted that the marriage of the CzaroYitz
to Princess Margaret of Prussia will soon
take place, differences OF religion to the
contrary Notwithstanding. This is said to
have been unwelcome news to the fighting
element in the Russian army. Won Moltke
in his recent speech, said: 'The days of
war waged by cabinets are passed. The
elements that now threaten peace are found
among the people,"
That fruitful source of bad blood between
neighbors, a quarrel over division fences,
has led to an interchange of opprobrious
epithets and buckshot between two farmers
of Jackson Valley, Amador County, one of
whom will probably stand trial for murder.
He will evidently conclude before long that
it would have been cheaper to submit the
cause of dispute to competent surveyor.
Chicago is aroused over the recent ap-
pearance of hideous Chinese leper on the
public streets, and now the health author
tiles are making strenuous efforts to locate
him. Doubtless his countrymen are as
usual shielding him from those who would
protect the community from this loathsome
contagious disease by isoIating him.
Another lone highwayman has rsked life
and liberty by holding up the stage be-
tween Mariposa and MERGED. All the booty
he secured was 40 cents, which he I'M

When the business of shipping green fruit
to the East was first inaugurated on a large
scale, the rate was 5000 per car to Chicago,
and the car did not usually contain 10000
pounds, but often fell short of 1S,OGO Thus
the rate per pound was nearly, if not quite,
81 cents. 1t is now "a cents, a reduction
OF 81 per cent. We hope that the present
schedule is not finality. AS the traffic
grows, the railroad companies ought to see
their way to further reductions. When ten
car trains can be made up regularly at San
Jose or Sacramento, it will not cost much
TO haul them without breaking bulk to the
central valleys or the lakes
Under the new arrangement fruit mer-
chants can lay down California fruit in
Chicago at about cents a pound; all over
that will be profit During the interval
which elapses between the first receipts of
fruit from this Coast and the appearance
of homegrown fruitin the Eastern markets,
California fruit frequently commands or
10 cents a pound, so that there is some
margin for profit.
To systematic the business, however, the
fruit industry should have an agent at
Chicago with power to divert fruit-cars en-
route from their destination, and to dis
patch them to cities where fruit happens to
be in demand at the time. The chief losses
which shippers have incurred have arisen
from Cutting certain markets, while other
markets as good were left bare, and the
loss of fruit from decay caused by glow
