THE CONSTITUTION.
Why Justice Miller ConcurPed in
the Original Package" De-

Why Justice Miller ConcurPed in
the "Original Package" De-
cision.
DEs MONIES, To-, May 24.-Justice
Miller, of the United States supreme
court, has been criticized by many
people in this state for joining in the
"original package" decision. Rev. j. P.
Teter, a Methodist clergyman at Oska
loosa, and a personal friend of the
justice. has received from him the fol-
lowing letter on the subject:
II regret to find that you are in
trouble about my concurrence in the
recent decision of the supreme court in
regard to the sale of goods imported
the original packages. | venture to
hope that | shall not wholly forfeit
your esteem because, in obedience TO
that sense of conscientious duty which,
[ have no doubt, prompts you
in this matter, l have felt
bound to follow the decision made
by this court more than sixty years ago,
which has never been doubted or dis
puted from that day to this. Indeed,
that decision, in addition to being a de-
cision OF this court, was one which
fell from the lips of the greatest consti
tutional lawyer this government ever
had. 1t was based upon construction
of the constitution of the United States,
This constitution has not been altered
since, and the judgment of the court has
remained without question from that day
to this. Many people, like you think.
have the idea that the supreme court is
only bound in its decisions by the views
which they may have of abstract moral
right. But we are as much sworn to de-
eide according to the constitution
of the United States as you are
bound by your conscience to faith in
the Bible which you profess to follow.
If my views of the true meaning of the
constitution of the United States, in
question before me as judge of one of
the courts OF the country, should COM
pei me to differ from the whole world, |
should do it as cOurageouSly as [ have
no doubt you would stand by any doct
rine Whice you believe to be taught in
the Holy Bible. This is the only let
ter that have attempted to answer on
this subject, and, however my friends
may think that erred on this subject,
L must bear their cenSure. If / should
believe everything which you believe
on the subject of prohibition, l must
still follow the constitution of the
United States until 1t is changed by
those who have authority to do So"

CRUELTY TO SAILORS.
A Sea Captain Who May Get Into
Trouble.

NEW YORK, May 24.-Ernest A.
Young, a young sailor who landed from
the United States Steamer Pensacola,
made complaint to-day against Capt.
Harvey Stewart, of the American ship,
John Harvey, charging him with aban-
doning him at Barbados, West Indias.
Young states that the captain
had trouble with the men and
had ill treated certain men,
bers of the crew, two sailors having
been chained to the stanchions for
twenty-three days. At Barbados the
matter was brought to the attention of
Consul Dimmick. Young was the only
one called upon to testify, and as his
testimony was against the captain he
was compelled to work before the mast,
although he had enlisted as a
cabin boy, and when he protested
the captain put him in irons, On
May 10, he got permission to go ashore.
and while there the vessel left him.

BLOOD WILL BE SHED.
Senator Macdonald Considers the
Behring Trouble Serious.

OTTAWA, Ont, May Ex-senator Mac
Donald. of Victoria, B. c., is here.
Speaking of the Behring sea matter, he
says that the sealers will simply ignore
the action of the American executive.
'.The Canadian sealing fleet" he said,
"started on their annual hunt early in
January last. They go down the coast
as far as San Francisco, and then fol-
low the seals north, picking them up as
they go along. They could go into
Behring sea, as they considered they
had a perfect right to do. have long
thought that the whole matter will be
brought to sudden maturity by some
act of bloodshed on one side or the
other. Some bold captain with ship
load of valuable skins. and feeling him
self legitimately in possession of them,
will defend his property, and the Dip
lomats will regret that they did not use
more expedition in bringing about
termination of the dispute"

KEMN1LER's COMING SHOCK.
1t May Be Postponed Until Next
Autumn.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Although the
supreme court yesterday decided against
Kemmler on all constitutional ques-
tions which it is thought can be raised
in his case, it is not absolutely certain
that the court has heard the last of the
case. 1t is the general opinion that
the decision yesterday would finally
settle the matter. and all that would
remain to be done would be
the pro forma vacation of the
order of Judge Wallace and the resen-
fencing of Kemmler. 1t may be that
the counsel will stop here and not fur
tner prolong what, in view of the de-
cision of yesterday, must be regarded as
a hopeless case, as far as the supreme
court is concerned. But it is still pos
sible to delay the day of execution until
next autumn, at least, by brin ging an
other appeal to the supreme court.

afternoon, by William Silverman, agent

this evening, and in less than
two hours the contents of the car had
been sold out, and "original packages
were soon travelling in all directions on
the shoulders OF men and boys. A COM

against Siiverman on Monday for
violation of the state liquor

WASHINGTON, May 24.-After routine
business to-day the house went into
committee of the whole (Mr Burrows.
Of Michigan, in the chair, on the river
and harbor bill. The pending question
was the point of order against the Hen
nepin canal proposition. After an ar
,gument by Mr.. Rogers. of Arkansas.
in opposition to the, point of order, the
chairman rendered his decision over
ruling tho point of order. Mr.. Turner,
off Georgia. then moved to strike out
fbe provision for the canal. He con-
tended that the digging of canals by the
federal government was contrary to the
constitution. Mr.. Henderson, of Illi-
nois. said that the question of the power
nf congress to provide for the construc-
tion of canals had already been settled
in the affirmative. MessrS. Hayes and
Henderson, of Iowa, earnestly opposed
fine motion, the former making cOnSti-
tutional argument in support of the
newer of congress to enact such legiS-
}ation. Messrs. Blanchard of Louisiana,
and Gear, of Iowa, favored the
Hennepin canal. Mr.. Hatch. of Mis-
souri, warD.d gentlemen who repre-
sented the Mississippi river that an ap-
DrOprldtlOn Tor CHe deuneplu cdIldl
would be the death knell to appropria-
tions for the Mississippi river in the
future. After further debate the mo-
ton to strike out was lost, 30 to 122. On
motion of Mr. Henderson. of Illinois,
an amendment was adopted reducing
from So, OOO, 900 to s1,OOO,0O9 the appro-
nriation for the improvement of the
Mississippi river from the head of the
passes to the mouth of the Ohio river.
