THE interstate clause OF the federal
constitution IS making itself felt quite
generally now days. It's latest oper-
alton IS TO prevent the taxing of sleep
iug-car companies. The United States
circuit court at Atlanta mas rendered a
decision enJ0ining the state Of GeorC. 4
from collecting taxes from sieeping-car
companies, under the provisions OF the
tax acts Of 1886 and ls5S. In two cases
before the court taxes were assessed on
each company doing business IN
Georgia As i sleeping or palace car
company In = third case taxes were
assessed under the tax act of 1858. The
court heid the taxacts unconstitutional
as being IN conflict with the Interstate
clause of the federal constitution and
other constitutional provisions, State
and federal. And yet it seems as if
there should be some way of reaching,
by taxation, companies that derive SO
much benefit from the people of the
State.

1t is the German Lutherans who have

said: "Our stand is emphatically for

for those principles and policies which
are dear to every true Democrat, Geo.

other ways. [ firmly believe, too,
that it can not be truthfully denied
that he voted that yearfor both Gen.
Harrison and Gov. Hoard, and every
body knows that he supported Gen.
Rusk four years ago, against that

will do the same thing. [ have talked
with nine Democrats. Eight out of
the nine told me'they would vote for
Hoard. [ have talked with these
men at different times, not for the
purpose of learning their position up
on the question, but they said openly
to me that they intended to vote that
way. take it that this condition of
affairs exists throughout the state
and will more than make up for the
loss of Lutheran Republicans. I like
Mr.. Peck very much, but he is no man
for the place. / met Peck in Milwau-
kee right after he was elected mayor,
and | told him he ought to be
ashamed of himself to be elected on
such platform. Well, he half ad-
mitted that he was, but said, we
politicians have to do such things.
No, sir, | am for Hoard and the Ben
nett law, and am confident that Peck
will be defeated"
