surrounded by Troops.

RAPID CITY, 5. D., Dec 10.-Four hun
bred men of the Seventeenth infantry
started today for Gen. Carr's camp at
Rapid Greek and Cheyenne rivers. Gen.
Miles now has concentrated there about
1900 men with artillery. There IS a large
encampment of hostile Indians In the grass
basin OF the bad lands about ten miles
from Cars camp, and the Indians have
been making raids on the ranchers from
there. The troops are icing disposed
to guard every pass anu outlet and
the cavalry is scouting about to
intercept Sitting Bulls followers who are
supposed to be heading for that point
The indications are that Gen. Miles pro-
poses holding the Indians in the basin
until ready to make a movement into the
bad lands simultaneously with General
Brooke's forces. As the troops are dis
posed now it appears that the escape of
the hostiles Is impossible.

Maurice Bernhardt, who fought a duel
with journalist, in which he came out

IN appearance typical English squire.
His fond mother sets aside $50, 900 d year

hardt runs III debt for about $4,000 more
on an average. He has grown tail and
broader since he was in the country. and
he is now a fine looking specimen of
clear eyed, rudy checked and powerfully
built athlete. He amuses himself at times
by driving a tandem through the crowded
streets of Paris, and, without seeking no
toriety in any way, he continually figures
IL the small talk OF the French capital. A
few months ago Il very distinguished
duke, who hal come back to Paris after an
exile, was received by an enormous crowd
of admirers at the station. Well back in
the crowd was Maurice Bernhardt, ana as
the distinguished duke walked throu oh

quantances, his eye suddenly fell on the

while the younger man blushed almost

claimed that the old soldiers are COM
PEELED to work against their will, are con-
fined in sweat boxes for punishment and
that the governor of the home frequently
interceptS letters through the mail Of
the home sent out by old soldiers. All
these charges are venerable. There is
not home in the United States where
similar charges are not made against
the administration. The officers of the
place are very kind to the veterans,
many of whom are in mental condition
not well fitted to care for themselves.
Not member of the home is compelled
to work. All is voluntary, and for this
they are paid at the rate of forty cents
day.
1t is to be regretted that the G. A. r.
Of the country who know that many Of
these veterans are mentally unbalanced,
pay any attention to the reports and
give them such publicity before investi-
eating the charges. The committee, no
matter who they are, can be depended
upon to make a report after their in

the several States and can be judicA-
ously and effectively exercised by them
alone according to their views Of public
policy and local needs, and can not
practically, II 1t can constitutionally, be
welded by Congress as part Of national
and uniform system.
The Iowa Prohibitory laws were en-
acted by the Legislature in the exercise
of its undoubted power to protect its In
habitants against the evils, physical,
moral and social, attending the free use
of intoxicating liquors. They are not
aimed at Interstate commerce and have
no relation to the movement OF goods
from one State to another, but operate
only on intoxicating liquors within the
limits of the State. They include all
such liquors without discrimination and
do not even mention where they are
made or whence they come.
They affect commerce much more re-
motley, the dissenting Justices say, than
laws of State, the validity Of which are
unquestioned, authorizing the construc-
ton of bridges and dams across navig-
able waters within its limits, which
wholly obstruct the course Of commerce
and navigation, or than quarantine laws
which operate directly upon all ships
and merchandise coming into the ports
of the State. II, they say, the statutes
Of State restricting or prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating liquors within its
knu b. hn hnlA fnnVnnRo III U0
or void as applied to liquors
sent or brought from another State
and sold by the importers in
original packages, the consequence must
be that an inhabitant of any State may
under the pretext Of Interstate COM
merce and without license or supervision
Of any public authority carry on or send
liquor into and sell in any or all OF the
other States, despite any legislation Of
those States on the subject, and although
his own State should be the only one
which had not enacted similar laws.
Nothing short of affirmative and explicit
legislation on the part OF Congress will
convince them that it contemplated or
intended such result.
The dissenting Justices quote from
the decision in the license caseA in
which the court sustained these vinws
and contend that the silence aud iaac-
ton of Congress upon the subject aur-
ing the long period since the license
cases appear to require the inference
that Congress intended that the law
should remain as thereby declared by
the court rather than to warrant the
presumption that Congress intended
that commerce among the States should
be free from the indirect effect of such
an exercise of the police power for the
public safety, as was adjudged by that
decision to be within the constitutional
authority of the State.
