An important peclalon.

The decision Of the United States Supreme
court in an Iowa liquor case, a brief synop-
sis of which is given in our telegraphic col
umns, has very important bearing on the
case of Burns, now pending in the Supreme
court of Maine. Burns, it will be remem-
bered, imported liquor In original packages.
and claimed the right to sell 1t in those pack
ages, in spite of the State law. His liquors
were seized. and Judge Whitehouse, in the
Superior court of Kennebec county, adjudged
them forfeited to the State. Burns appealed
to the Supreme court Of the State, and the
case is pending there now. The counsel for
Burns claim that the right to import, which
is conferred by Congress, carries with it the
right to sell by the importer. And they rest
tnelr claim chiefly on decision of the
United States Supreme court in 1926
Inc state OF Maryland had required an inn
porter OF dry goods to take out a license he
fore he could sell his goods. The importer re-
sisted on the ground that this license was in
conflict with the law Of Congress which gave
MN the rlght 10 import goods on payment of
certain duty, inasmuch as 1t operated n
restrict that right. The court sustained this
view, holding that the right to sell was inn.
piled by the right to import and that this ii.
cense operated as partial restriction of the
right to sell and therefore of the right to i'm
port
The counsel for the State, while
admitting the soundnesS of the decision as a
general rule, contend that when the arti.
Gle imported is deleterious to the public
health or the public morals, the State may.
under its police powers, restrain its sale even
when in the hands of the original importer
and while still in the original package.
This doctrine the Supreme court of the

United States in the opinion just announced

that though the State can not

may, under its police powers, restrain the
importer from selling it after it has reached
his hands. That is to say. if package of
liquor arrives at New York from England
destlned Tor dealer in Augusta, say Mr..
Michael Burns, the authorities of this State
cannot seize 1t while it is being transported
across this State to its destination, but as
soon as it arrives at its destination, that is,
as soon as it comes into the possession of
Mr.. Michael Burns, the authorities may,
under the police powers of the State, pro-
hibit its SALE 1t is not entirely safe to Judge
OF an opinion from mere synopsis such as
we have in this case, but If this synopsis
fairly represents the decision of the court,
then Mr.. Burns will probably not deem it
advisable to take his case to the United
States court if the decision of the Maine
court is against him.

1t is highly edifying to read the comments
Of the Democratic newspapers on Mr.. Reeds
Pittsburg speech-they are all of them so
shocked His declaration that the "Re-
publican vote in the South the Re-
publican party is entitled to under the con-
sitution whether that vote be ignorant or SEN
sible," indicates" groans Boston paper, "a
very low level for the once respected leaders
of the Republican party to occupy" 1t is
very amusing to hear Democratic papers
talking about the once respected leaders of
the Republican party. There never was
leader of the Republican party who was
treated with respect by the Democratic news
papers while he was a leader. Lincoln,
whom they are fond of pointing to, to illus
trate the decadence Of the Republicans. was
villifed by them as no political leader ever
was before or since. Grant, who has now
been placed in the category of respected
Republican leaders, was stigmatized when
he was leader as butcher" Garfield was
with them the embodiment of corruption
until after he was dead. Equally amusing is
it to see Democratic papers hold
up their hands in pious horror at the
idea of something being done to ensure full
vote and fair count at the South They are
all SO alarmed lest the Republicans intend
to steal votes that do not belong to
them. Yet they have all of them been per-
fectly calm while the Democratic party, first
by the shotgun and latterly by the tissue
ballot, kept away from the polls or cheated
by false counting nearly half the voting pop
ulation Of the Southern States. They have
never discovered anything slow" about this
performance This Boston paper has never
"groaned" nor allowed itself to be shocked
by it. Whoever has suggested in the pres
ence Of these Democratic organs that the dis
franchising OF thousands and tens of thou
sands OF voters was an Ubiquitous proceed
ings has been accused of being very wicked
person who was trying to stir up strife. The
spectacle of one white man at the South
welding as much influence in national
affairs as two white men at the North never
troubled them because the white man at the
South was Democrat. But the spectacle of
the Speaker of the House of Representatives
demanding that there shall be free ballot and
fair count at the South, that every citizen
shall be allowed to exercise the right of vot-
ing for congressman which the Constitution
guarantees, fills them with unspeakable hor-
ror All. yes, politics must have reached
low level indeed when Republican in
public speech, has the effrontery to insist
that Republicans in the South shall be al
lowed to vote as we'll as Democrats. No
doubt If the respected leaders" of the Re-
publican party who are now dead and gone
could listen to such revolutionary sentiments
they would be filed with grief at the deca
dence of their party.

speaker was Mrs. BeAknap, and her soft
voice was tuned to pitch of almost
pathetic regret. They were talking of
Hiss Maitland, who had just been as

sensations for whole fortnight, and
one excitement had troddes on the heels
of another with such rapidly that people
were growing weary.
Perhaps the happiest man in garrison
was Capt. Stryker; he had refused to be-
lieve in the guilt of Sergt. Gwynne when
Capt. Wayne came to him to say that
there were men in his troop who openly
accused the sergeant of having that cher
ished seal ring secreted in his chest. So
confident was he that he had gone with
the captain and Mr. Farnham to the
stables and there told Gwynne of the

hesitated when asked if he would allow
his chest to be searched. This was quick

the search was insisted upon Gwynne
then said there were a few items in that
chest which he allowed no one to see; he
pledged his soldier word that they were

photographs and book. These he asked
permission to remove first: then they
might search. But Wayne sternly re-
fused. The sergeant turned very white,
set his lips, and hesitated still, until his
own captain spoke: then he surrendered
his kew.
Wayne and Farnham bent over the
chest while the troop first sergeant rapid
ly turned over the clothing, books, ETC.,
with trembling hands. There was a little
compartment at one side, in which were
lying some small items-a pocket COM
pass, a pencil case, some keys, locket
and neck chain, and, among these,
something wrapped in tissue paper This

1t was a delectable sceance that
Judge Brady presided over in the pc.
lice court This morning.
Frank Palmer, an NJ, K. & 7. en-.
giDeer belonging at Fort Scott, and
E. P. Flynn, a telegraph operator
who says be is about to assume pc
sition in the office at the same place,
t seems casually dropped into the city
night before last and concluded to
celebrate. They fully realized this
morning that they had succeeded.
Last night about IL o'clock the
echoes Of an uproar were heard in the
vicinity of Nora Belmont's residence
on Usage street. On repairing to the
scene, Officers Gossage and Trip
found the lady before mentioned
making a great ado, the
cIaret flowing freely from her fair
countenance and herself in a
most distressfuI condition generally.
Palmer and Flynn were both standing
near and the latter, Nora charged
with having struck her violently on the
nose as she came out of her house.
Bob were drunk and taken in. This
morning Palmer was fined $3.50 and
the cost for being drunk, but Flynn
Jared worse. He pleaded very feel.
ingly that he did not know what he
was doing when the occurrence took
place, and that he was never drunk
before, and that if the facts were
known to his friends, it would ruin
him. Nora however said that in ad.
dition to striking her, the prisoner had
threatened to put seven holes through
her, and do divers other acts that
would interfere with her enjoyment
Of health and comfort. The evidence
was very strong against Flynn, and
Judge Brady said that be could
only let the prisoner off on charge of
being drunk and guilty of disorderlY
conduct and assessed a fine of $40
and costs. Flynn had a pass to Fort
Scott and told the judge that if he
we're given permission he thou bit he |
could raise the amount of his fine by |
seeing some of his telegraph friends
in the city, which the judge allowed.
