lied by ts decision.
understand that in some instances the
agency claimed Is mere subterfuge, ana
that In fact the dealer purchases his liquors
and sells them on his own account. but that
some sort OF an understanding exists with
the wholesale house from which he gets the
tise as their agent IN making the sales.
II IL my advice TO watch carefully every
man who assumes to sell Intoxicating
liquors In ''origlnal packages" or otherwise
In your county. and promptly commence
proces dlngs against him by Injunction, and
under the criminal statutes.
Judge Caldwell intimatcd In the course OF
the hearing, as / understand, that party
who buys an original package of intoxieat-
ing liquors may with impunity drink the
same upon tho premises. The decision Of
the United States Supreme Court goes to the
extent of saying that the act OF i'm
portation under the commerce clause
OF the UDfted states Constitution does
not cease until the importer made the trst
sale OF the liquor In the unbroken, original
packages In which 1t WAS imported But it
goes no further. At the conclusion Of the
sale there would be the purchaser With the
unbroken package of liquor in his posses
sion, but both he, the purchaser and the
liquor IN his hand are subject TO the police
power Of the State, and SO Is tho building IN
which the sale was made. If the liquor is
permitted to be drunk on the premises, the
place Immediately becomes nuisance un-
der tho ProhibItory law and Il may be abated
as such and the keeper thereof punished
Grim inally for keeping and maintaining such
nuisance.
1t Is my view that, notwithstanding the
"original package" decision, the duty Of the
people Of Kansas and the proper law officials
in each county is to sim continue 10 enforce
the Prohibtory law In all proper ways and
with Increased diligence aud activity. Let
IL bo male uncomfortably dangerous for
every person who assumes TO sell lntoNicat-
Ing liquors for the purpose OF beverage In

DEAD TRAIN RoBBER.

Death Of the Wounded Arkansas Train
Robber His Wife's Statement shows That
the Right Men Are Caught
TEXARKANA. Ark, June 20. Ratcliffe,
the wounded train robber died Satur-
day night He left wife. and three
children. In his dying moments he
said II was too late for him TO talk, but
that his wife would make a statement
for him. She is a woman Of more than
ordinary Intelligence for one Of her
Iclass, and wiz make a detailed state
ment Of the whole affair as fsr as she
knew, TO which she will testify to-day
In court.
The poor woman had besought her
husband. 20 avoid the company that
brought him TO his ruin, and when he
came home wounded she felt sure that
retribution had visited him. Her state
ment as taken down before notary
covers ifteen pages, and clears up many
OF the mysteries that surrounded the
robbery. She states that the persons now
IN jail--Detechye Williams, Napoleon
Mcdaniel and John Browley with her
husband committed the robbery; that
Mcdaniel went through the express car
whilo Bromley and Williams stood
guard: that Ratcliife did the shooting
which disabled the express agent with
Williams Winchester; that Mcdaniel
shot Radcliffe through mistake, sup
posing in the darkness that the train
men had armed themselves and deter-
mined to resist The woman did not in
any way countenance or encourage the
robbery. but was enforced to silence
when the plans we're being made.
Her evidence and other developments
will add great interest TO the trial.

FRENcHMEN EXCITED.
Tarin Liquidation in the United states Al
ferts Them Greatly.

PARIS. June 23-The excitement
among French merchants arising from
the dificalties caused by the now Anne
rican regulations concerning the impor-
tation Of goods into the United States is
spreading 10 the Chamber Of Deputies
and TO the newspapers. The merchants
complain that the requirements at the
Consulatos for the legalization Of the
invoices OF goods destined for the United
States are impract cable.
One or two delegations from the mer-
chants and several representatives from
various chambers Of commerce have
been received from NJ Roche, Minister
Of Commerce. Some Of these protested
against the consular regulations, while
others protested against tho proposed
higher duties on French products in the
pending Tariff bill. a few excitable
people talk about retaliation.
The Government official and the
artistic committees have both been
startled by the news that tho Finance
Committee of the American Senate has
stricken out the clause in the tariff
bill putting works Of art on the free
list. This matter had been considered
as almost settled. There is a
great outcry over the action OF the FL
nance Committee. The only explana-
tion suggested here is that it may have
been done on the demand Of the Sena-
tors from the Western States because
France still persists in excluding Amer
ican pork from the country

WASHINGTON, June 49, The clerk OF
the Senate Finance Committee has COM
pleted the preparation Of the statement
called for by the Plumb resolution
adopted by the Senate, ehowing the In
crease and reductions In revenue which
are estimated TO follow the enactment
Of the Senate Tariff bin compared with
the present law and the House or MO
KinleyN hill.
The importations for the fiscal year
of dutiable goods (the rates on which II
is proposed to changel aggregated $780,
437, i17.0 07 in value and the dutlos col
lected on these aggregated si6i, 4OS,-
$40. 40. The estimated duties on these
articles Tor an aggregate equal TO that
OF the fiscal year, under the Hour bill
Is estimated az SOS, 3I4, 97777 while
under the Senate bill tho estimated re-
ceipts from the same aggregate are S2Ol, :
$50, ,007. 0s. The House bill transferred
to the free list articles which during
the fiscal year 1850 were received OF an
aggregate value OF iO792l, 735.04 and
which paid duty amounting to $50, 736, :
s96.12 The Senate bill transfers to the
free list articles valued in the importa-
tions for 1889 at si0s 9l9, ,907 and paying
an aggregate duty OF 500, 500, 34369
Adding 70 the first Of these amounts the
amount OF the internal revenue rednc-
tion found in the House bill (and struck
out OF the senate bill), the total reduc-
tion OF revenue by the House bill Is
found to DO s7l, ,O64. 774ls, whilo that OF
the Senate bill is $50, 500, 3i3.69. These
reductions, the committee says, appear
70 be certain, but II the imports should
bo the same as last year under the new
rates the reduction would amount under
the House bill 20 $50, lbs, 6i2.00; under
the Senate bill TO $40, Sls, ss3 10.
Tho table further shows that the ay-
erage equivalent ad yalorem rate under
the existing law is 41.3i per cent, under
the House bill 52. so per cent and under
the Senate bill 5l.97 per cent. These
tables" says the committee, 'are pre-
pared upon the plan and theory usually
followed. The estimates are largely
conjectnral and more or less unreliable
and misleading. They are based upon
the assumption that II the bill should
become law merchandise OF like
quantities and values would be imported
as was imported during the fiscal
year 1850 This basis can only be ac-
cepied as reliable whore changes in
rates are not OF such character as to
necessarily cause increased or dimin-
ished rrey,rtationes - -
