The Bangor Wing and the Bangor Com
mercial are INDUCING in somewhat acrimo-
NOUS discussion as to whether the recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court prevents the
State from imposing tax in the nature of
license upon an importer who sells liquor in
the original package. This particular deci-
sion does not, because this simply declared
a statute forbidding the sale of imported
liquors unconstitutional. But the doctrine
laid down seems broad enough to cover the
restriction of the sale of such liquors by a
license law as well as its total prevention by
prohibitory law.

Evidence Of the fitness of the Mckinley
bill for the accomplishment of the object for
which it was intended, the protection of
American industries, accumulates with a
rapidity that cannot fail to please its franz
ers. The papers published in the Dominion
of Canada have been very free to express
their disapproval Of the bill, especially of the
agricultural schedules, because the high
duties imposed would shut all Canadian
farm products out of the American market.
This was all good evidence and was gladly
received, although for some curious reason
the papers that were most frantically howl
ing about the terrible burdens imposed on
the farmers by the tariff said never word
about 1t. 1t was claimed however that while
the tariff bill might protect the farmers who
were most directly exposed to Canadian
competition, 1t bore very hard and imposed
CALLING yoke upon all other classes of people
In this country. The Saint John telegram
however speaks out with refreshing frank
ness on this point and dissipates tie fears of
undue burdens on the shoulders of people who
are content to patroniZe home industries. "It
appears" says the Telegraph, shat the ma
jority of the Congress of the United States is
determined to pass the Mckinley bill, against
which an cutlery was raised not only by i'm
porters In that country, but by manufacture
ers and exporters Of France, Germany and
Great Britain" 1t ought not to take great
length of time for man to discover that that
kind of an outcry is the best thing in the
world to help the bill with the people who
believe in home industries and a home mar

power to regulate interstate commerce, it
has no doubt the power. if it chooses to ex-

liquor entirely from its territory. Such leg

The Republican caucus of representatives
has decided to conine the debate on the
tariff bill to two weeks. There was some
opposition, several members thinking a
longer time needed. But we venture to say
that If the debate continued six months no
more information on the subject of value
would be given that will be afforded within
the two weeks In that time both sides of
the question can be expounded by all the
members OF the House who have any special
knowledge on the subject. A frightening
OF the period would only serve to give an op-
portunity for lot of lesser lights to flicker
in the presence Of bare walls.

The eagerness of the Republicans
in congress to give up the keys of
the national treasury to the old sol
der would lead any Que to suppose
that the war for the Union was a
war for spoils. The Union soldiers
of the late war can hardly claim
now that there was any sentiment
of patriotism mixed with their SER
vice for the country. Their present
clamor for spoils will have the ten
dleincy to bring disgrace. Who

Unfair dealing in the matter of select

Such righteousness on the part of

A case has already been made
under the new law at Martinsville.
Perry Hickman brings suit against
Anderson Collett, and alleges in
his petition that on the 9Th day of
April Collect gave him ten dollars
andea quart. of whiskey to secure
his vote, and that the vote was
deposited according to contract.
Mr.. Collett will doubtless consid-
err himself outrageously abused in
being made to pay $500 to the man
who took his money and drank his
whiskey. 1t does seem pretty
rough Mt first blush, but on second
thought it will strike you as being
a very good law. In this case Col
lett deliberately corrupted 1.-THE bal

heavier punishment than being
made to pay $500. The law max.
ing II an object to the corrupted

justice is searching and aeffectual,
for the man who would sell his vote
would hardly hesitate to turn
around and deliver up to justice the
man who bought it, especially when
he could gain $500 by so doing;
and the humiliation to himself in
volyed would hardly have much
weight with him.
1t will of course be said that the
man who sold his vote is deserving
OF equal punishment with the man
who bought it. bnt the object of the
law would be defeated by. such a
provision, just though it would be.
He will receive punishment enough,
however, in the deep digraceI that
will attach to him. in being held in
contempt by his fellow citizens and
regarded as social outlaw.
