The Concord IN. H. People and Patriot
displays foolish temper over its failure to Sc
cure list of census enumerators before its
neighbor the Monitor did, in this entirely un-
called for paragraph:
We take the liberty of copying from Republican
newspapers the list of Republican enumerators ap-
pointed by the Republican supervisor, in accOr-
dance with the directions of the Republican sJ-
perintendent, to make the Republican census in
this State next month.
The paragraph is not only uncalled for; it
is written with intent to deceive, and to pro-
pagate false idea of the scope and charac-
ter of the census, that has already gained
too wide a circulation. 1t is not a Republi-
can census. True the superintendent of the
census voted the Republican ticket at the
election, and will doubtless do so at the next,
If he lives. The census however has no
more relation TO politics than any other CEN
sus has had in the past. The snarling of the
Democratic press, ''left" on an item of news,
or striving to make cheap political capital
and the indignant protests of good Republi-
cans who are passed over in the selection of
enumerators both arise from a misconcep-
ton of the state of the case. 1t is important
that some government positions be filled by
persons in political sympathy with the ad-
ministration: but the census has no political
status. 1t is simply grand roll-call of the
nation, and those who are best fitted to do
the work for the good of all should, and
doubtless will have, 1t In charge.

The Senate and Liquor Laws.

Senator Vest and Reagan oppose the bill
reported by the judiciary committee to allow
the States to regulate the importation of Ii
quor on the ground that the sole power to
regulate commerce resides in Congress and
that Congress connot delegate that power to
the States, as the judiciary bill purposes to
do. If MessIs Vest and Reagan are right
then nothing but national prohibition law
can effectually restrain the liquor traffic
while the constitution remains as at present.
and such law, everybody knows, In the
present state Of public sentiment, is an i'm
possibility. Prohibition laws and license
laws will be of little value if it becomes set
tied that the State cannot restrict or prevent
the importation of liquor from another State
and its sale by the importer.
Senator Reagan's argument, however.
runs counter to the Supreme Court in the
Iowa case. II runs counter, too, to certain
existing congressional legislation the consti-
nationality of which has never, we think,
peen questioned. Congress has already by
legislation made the transportation of ex-
pioslVes INTO state subject to the laws and
regulations OF the State. In this case it has
certainly delegated its powers over inter-
stare commerce TO as great an extent as IL is
asked to in the bill now pending But the
majority opinion in the Original PACKAGE,
case very clearly expresses the opinion. that
while it is not competent without congress
sional permission for the States to restrict
or forbid the importation of articles of COM
merce, it is perfectly competent for Congress
to give that permission. Says Judge Mat
thews whose opinion is endorsed by Chief
Justice Fuller
1t 1.-THE STATED cannot, without the consent Of
Congress, express or implied, regulate commerce
between its people and those of other States.
Here is very distinct intmation that it is
perfectly competent for Congress to give the
permission needed to enable the State to
control the importation of liquor.
Chief Justice fancy, who ought to be good
enough authority for Senator Reagan, went
much farther than this and held that the
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1890-05-22

mere fact that Congress had not exercised
its power to regulate interstate commerce,
gave to the State the power over an article
as soon as it was landed in its territory.
And Chief Justice Fuller in the Iowa opin-
ion himself uses this language:
The conclusion follows that, as the grant of
the power to regulate commerce among the states
so far as one system is required. is exclusive,
the states cannot exercise that power without the
assent OF Congress- and in the absence of legisla-
ton, 1t Is left for the courts TO determine when
state action does or does not amount to such ex-
ercse, or, in other words what Is or is not reg
ulasion OF such commerce.
Here certainly is what amounts practically
to statement ON the part of Chief Justice
Fuller, speaking for himself and the major
ity of the court, that such legislation as is
contemplated by Senator Hoar'S bill is
clearly within the limit of the constitution.

Things would be simplified If we could un-
derstand what the Democracy are about on
the tariff question. Are they free traders?
1t seems not Corner them on that question
and they deny It, They do not propose to
raise revenue by direct taxation, but they
are opposed to protection except as it may
be incidental. Then also they grow vague
as they approach business. The truth is
they do not get farther than Mr.. Cleveland

We present this morning carefully COM
piled statement of the effect the McKin-
ley bill will have on articles in the pr0duc-
tion of which Maine is specially interested.
1t will be seen that the farmer comes in for
a good share of protection. Most Of the ar
ticles which he produces have either protec-
ton given where there was none before, or
the amount of protection increased. 1t has
been charged by the enemies Of the protec-
tive system that the farmers get no benefit
from it, and on this ground 1t has been
sought to array the agricultural population
against it. If there has been any lack in
this direction in the past this bill would seem
to supply it as far as the Maine farmer is
concerned.

ly called Sabbattus. They have settled it to
their own satisfaction that Sabatis is easier,
and therefore better. They have now at
tackled the name of the youngest city in the
