What is The Matter

MI. "Chauncey M. Depew, Republican,
who is now making a tour Of inspection
Of the Vanderbilt lines, in company with
Messrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, DR.. Seward
Webb, G.. F. Cox and President Ledyard,
Of the Michigan Central road, was inter-
viewed in Chicago yesterday on the finan-
cial outlook. He gave it as his opinion
that the currency of the country is
incapable of meeting the demands of the
wonderfully expanded and varied bust
ness enterprises and commercial OK
changes. Not only do the people lock
up money, but the government also does
it in times of alarm by buying bonds.
He believed that a p~ostponement of the
collection of the now import duties till
next July would very materially help to
restore confidence and stimulate trade;
but with such a sum as 500 900, which
importers are securing currency to pay
for duties In February, being now re-
leased into circulation, things would
right themselves. We are in a semi
panicky condition, due to distrust, and
no one Seems able to dispel that d~istrust.

A bill has passed tho Lower House in
the Legislature of Georgia to discontinue
the appropriations to the branches Of the
University located at >Dahlonega, Mil
lodgeville, Tlomasvillo, Cuthbert and
Hamilton. This action is matter of deep
regret. They were established rs inter-
mediate institutions between tho public
schools and the University, and MS such
have been serving q splendid purpose.
But the worst feature of the matter Is
that there are almost two thousand stu
dents now In attendance at these branch
colleges, who will in all probability be
confronted with closed doors, If the Le-
gislatnre insists IN Its refusal to further
help them, This will be q calamity which
tho State cannot afford. Tho Senate, how
ever, has amended the bill by inserting
the usual appropriations. 1t holds the
key to the situation, and these colleges
may yot live.

State Sovereignty Again Restricted.

Since the radical inroad upon the domain
of State sovereignty made by the adoption
of the fourteenth amendment to the federal
constitution, no limitation of more far reach
ing consequence has been put upon the pow
er of the several States than that imposed
on Monday by the federal Supreme Court in
the Iowa prohibition case.
The principle affirmed is that no State
has the power to stop the importation OF
liquors from another State or foreign
country or to prohibit their sale in the orig
iual packages within its own borders by
the importer. That is to say, whiskey,
brandy, gin, wine Or beer, any kind OF in.
toxicating drink, may be shipped from any
State to another in casks, barrels, kegs, bot
ties or any sort of vessel, and the person to
whom they are sent 'nay use them LOT MS
own purpose or sell them, IN spite OF any
State law to the contrary.
As We understand it, the principle goes
still further, While in the original pack
ages and the hands OF the importer the liq-
uors are exempt from State control, regula.
ton or interference. Within the domain OF
interstate commerce they are beyond the
reach of the State. Congress alone has The
power 10 regulate their disposition.
Obviously this Interpretation of the con-
stitution will do more than seriously Grip
pie the power Of State to prohibit the liq
uor traffic. Its practical effect must be 70
annual or paralszs the power to material
degree.
Suppose Connecticut or New Jersey
should pass a strictly prohibitory law. TIC
defeat and defy its operation the liquor deal
ers ard saloon keepers of that State would
only have to order whislzey in TASKS, wine
and beer in bottles, from New York, Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts or any other State,
and such dealers being importers or con.
signees-wculd be free 10 sell these liquors
by the flask or bottle.
Indeed, we aTe not sure that they would
be subject to the license or tax laws Of their
own State, The Supreme Court seems to
hold that they would not. Il is even ques-
ton whether the State Sunday law would
apply to them.
Ii WIN be seen that the scope of this de-
cision is sweeping even in it's effect upon
State power over tho liqnor business. But,
further still, it must apply to every article
and commodity of interstate commerce with
the same forcs that it does to liquor. To
mention no other article, take oleomar-
garne, against which many Of the States
have enacted stringent laws. Under this
decision every State is now powerless stC
prohibit, or it seems even to regulate, the
sale by the importer Of oleomargarine from
another State in the original PACKAGES. The
same is true of dressed beef. So that the
farmers of the country as we'll as the pro,
hibitionlsts are vitality affected by the deci-
sion.
So sweeping is this new doctrine, SO far
reaching must be its effects, if the principle
affirmed be carried to it's logical conse-
quences, that we have very serious doubts
whether the judgment Of the six justices
constituting the majority will stand the test
of time. If it does, it will become land
mark in our constitutional history.-N. Y.
