The Wilson bill, TO overcome the
effect OF the late Original package"
decision OF the Supreme Court of the
United States, has passed the U. S.
senate and no doubt will pass the
house: but will it accomplish the pur-
pose aimed at? Such senators as Ed
munds, Evarts, Hoar and Others have
grave doubts on the subject. The bill
simply gives to the states the power to
prohibit the opening and sale within
their borders of certain articles
brought in from other states or coun-
tries, whereas the senators referred to
maintain that the power of enacting
such an exclusion belongs exclusively
TO the national government and can
not be delegated to the states. I'm
doubtedly the Wilson bill, though it
may pass congress, will therefore be at
once resisted 10y the original package
and other liquor dealers in prohibition
states and be soon broken down by
another decision of the Supreme Court.
The speedest and most sensible way
out of the muddle is to get a rehearing
of the late case and have the Supreme
Court reverse its decision. 1t was
hastily made and there was but one
majority of the court in its favor,
while the opinions of the dissenting
judges show that they had the better
side of the law. A rehearing would
be almost sure to bring reversal.

Notwithstanding the peculiar official
attitude between Gen. kautz and Gen.
Brooks, of the United States army, the
war department has informed Gen. Kautx
that il be desires it he will have approval
Of two mouths leave OF absence. Leave
was preferred by Gen. kautz, who will be
absent on important business OF his own
for some weeks. This will no doubt pro-
long the investigation OF the case between
the above-named officers, and which was
inangurated BY Gen. Brooks. The delay
will probably have the effect Of less hasty
conclusions and . possible correction Of
the matter In . way that will put the 10.
