The Barnes County Liquor case.

The Barnes county Original package
case came before Judge Rose Monday,
but, neither side being ready, the at
torneys were granted until the 14th inst,
when the case will be submitted on
briefs. S. L. GIaspeli was taken into
the case yesterday as additional counsel
for tie defense. This is the first liquor
case growing out Of the recent supreme
court decision that has arisen in North
Dakota. and it's decision will be awaited
with interest throughout the state.
Judge Rose has given the matter un-
usual consideration, having spent the
past two weeks in investigation and will
be prepared to render decision without
the long delay usual in cases of so great
Importance. His decision will probably
make the law IN this matter as far as
North Dakota IS concerned. There are
several points raised in the case. The
defense admits the sale of liquor in orig
inal packages, but claims that such sales
are not in contravention Of the state
laws inasmuch as the provision Of the
state laws forbidding such sales is in
conflict with the interstate commerce
law, and consequently of no effect. The
complainants allege that liquor was
drank on the premises. This the defense
will deny and the question of fact will
have to be settled The raising of this
question will call for the judges decision
as to whether an 'original package"
house where liquor sold in original
packages is drank on the premises is
public nuisance. This is nice point
and involves the question of where the
operation of the police powers of the
state begin and the determination of the
scope of the recent supreme court de-
cision. The question OF what consti-
tutes an original package will also arise.

ern Iowa seems to be more especially
suffering in this respect. A few points

rain at once will make things all right.
The general opinion is that crops are

not anticipated that it will prove anything
of a jubilee gathering. The republican
ticket has solidiied the party and will
get full vote. The hope of democratic
success through republican dissensions
is exploded. The consciousness that
their ticket is certain to be defeated has
already operated to make aspirants for
places on it very scarce and will operate
further to make the convention short
and uneventful. The convention will be
a small affair, even if there should be
full representation. The apportionment
is made on the basis of the vote for
Roach last fallone delegate for every
100 votes. This makes a convention of
1G4 delegates. The republican conven-
ton consisted Of 29S delegates.
Little interest has centered in the con-
vention and the public has heard com
paratively nothing as to what they will
do or are likely to do. Candidates for
places on the ticket have either been un-
usually modest or there are few around.
Since the republican convention, it is
SAID the previous slate has been rear
ranged. Ii IS now asserted that M. l..
Mccormack will be named for con
gress. Heretofore the talk has been to
nominate him for governor. Now the
democrats figure that the Great North
err road will never support johnson and
feel friendly to Mccormack. They think
they see an opportunity to elect con-
gresham. Whether Mccormack would
accept is a question. Had the republican
factional strife not been happily settled
at Grand Forks, he would have been
nominated for governor. There is con-
siderable talk of naming Roach for gov
ernor again. He was the candidate last
year. j. Lowell Jr. OF Fargo, is spoken
of, too. O'Brien of Devils Lake, Noble
of Bottlneau county, and Appleton Of
Pembiaa, could have places on the ticket
if they SO desired. The democratic plan
has been frustrated, however, by republ-
can good sense and it is impossible to
foretell what they will do They counted
on the defeat of Johnson and had already
organized campaign on the Scandina-
Wan line and they further counted on
the disaffection of either the lottery or
anti-lottery and prohibition factions of
the republican party. They have been
disappointed in both expectations and
are completely at sea.
The platform will probably contain one
PLANK that will make an issue. That is
on the prohibition question. The repub-
licans have already demanded the en-
forcement of the prohibition law; the
democrats will probably declare against
it and demand the resubmission OF the
question.

South Dakota Politics.

The political field IS badly tossed about
in South Dakota. There will be three
tickets for state Offices and the female
suffrage element will further complicate
that situation. Judge Palmer Of Sioux
Falls, who has been IN jamestown several
days, is of the opinion that Mellette will
get the nomination for governor on the
straight republican ticket, but this will
CandidateLouckso of the Farmers alliance
Is making strong canvass ana is not
unused to political strategems. Much
of the discomfort among the farmers
comes from tho candidacy Of Senator
Moody for reelection. He represents to
an advanced degree certain principles
that the farmers believe are not for their
best interests. Mr.. Moody is al ardent
protectionists and is known as the paid
attorney of the Homestake Mining COM
pany and as representing other monopo-
lies after his own decided fashion. There
is no one prominent in the field at
present on whom the farmers could
unite to fill Senator Moody's place.
Wardell Is but possibility.
The chances OF both the present con-
gressmen for reelection are believed to
be growing beautifully less each day.The
eccentricities and official antics of Pick
Ter, the prohibition member, have dis
gusted a good many of his own support
ers, and it is very likely that his success
sor will come from the northern part of
the state and the indications point to
Col. Evans of Aberdeen. Mr.. Clifford is
getting old and is physically incapacita-
ted for representing the state longer;P Pick.
ler is mentally incapacltated for doing
it.
Prohibition will be continued no doubt
although at present the law is practically
nullifed by the original packages places
to be found nearly everywhere.
A unique feature in the campaign is
the chase of little Joe Bailey for treasur-
or. He made overtures to the Farmers
alliance party, on the quiet, and came
near getting their endorsement but fail
ed. He Is now hot after the regular
goods and if he fails to get It, it will be
because he coquetted and was found out.
The democrats have strong hopes Of
winning several places on the state and
legislative tickets on account of the divis-
ions among the republicans.
Huron is largely in the lead for the capi-
tai but the prize will be costly one if all
her promises to get votes are lived up to.
