TUESDAY CITY,

sun rose beautiful and clear this
morning, but the outlook was the
reverse IN about 400 homes in Dallas
and suburbs, from which the a.
habitants had been driven by the
overflow. Triniuy river at this
rise was n few inches higher than in
1866, which was the highest re-
corded within the memory Of the
Oldest settlers.
Large forces Of men are now re-
pairing the washouts on the various
roads. The water last night ran
through the windows OF the first
fiosr Of the Dallas elevator and
damaged n large amount Of wheat,

states supreme Court Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, April IS. - The
United States Supreme Court,
through Chief Justice Fuller, today
rendered an opinion adverse to the
c0nstitutiUnality Of State laws pro-
yiding for the seizure Of liquor
brought into 4 State in original
packages. Such laws, the Court
holds, are an interference with inter
state commerce. The Chief Justice,
delivering the opinion Of the Court,
says, in part: SIN the power vested
in Congress to regulate commerce
among the several States Is the
power to prescribe a rule by which
that commerce is to lie governed,
and it Is power complete In itself
acknowledging no limitations other
than those prescribed in the Con-
stitution. That ardent spirits are n
subject Of interstate commerce can
hot be denied. Whenever the law
Of 4 State amounts essentially 10 the

On Friday morning of last week, the
banking house of Dslamater Co., Of
Meadville, Pa. instead of opening out
for business posted up card announc-
ing their suspension. The firm WAS
composed of G. B. Delamater, and two
sons one of whom, George Wallace
Ds!amater, was the late Republican
candidate for Governor : The an
nouncement created intense excitement
in that place. as nearly every business
house in the town is aft ected. The
failure is bad one and It is attributed
TO various causes. George W. Delama-
ter's campaign for the nomination and
election as Governor is said TO have
cost him $200, 900. lie also sunk $780,
900 in the Philadelphia Finance COM
pany and American Life Insurance
company. under the manage ment Of
Senator Macfarland, who disappeared
after the American Life went to
pieces. These were the primary cause s
of the failure while The financial strin-
gency precipitated it. The assignees
on Monday gave out partial state
ment of the banks affairs and place the
liabilities at S544, 100 and the assets at
S472 ,549,72. Among the liabilities are
100000 of State funds deposited by
State Treasurer Boyer and S43, COO be-
longing to Crawford county, deposited
by the County Treasurer of that coun-
ty. The State will lose nothing as the
bond of the State Treasurer secures the
payment to the State bus /. will prove
heavy loss to the State Treasurer, as
some estimates say the assets will not
pay ten cents on the dollar. Cert,6
Gates of deposit on the wrecked bank
were offered at Nashville, on Monday
for % cents on the dollar without
takers.

Some Necessary Legislation.

If the United States Senate. instead
of chsffering over the force bill, would
devote its time TO the immediate con-
sideration of needed financial iegIsIa-
tion it wonld do much TO allay the
present disqulet i'll business circles.
Senator Sherman's proposition to allow
national banks TO issue notes equal in
amount to the par value of boad5 de-
posted as security therefor, under
proper restrictions, is a measure of JUST
ice as we'll as relief.
The proposition to issue 500. .000, 900
of 2 per cent. bonds, redeemable at the
pleasure of the Government, to be sold
for lawful money or coin certificates,
the proceeds 20 be applied to the Ie-
deml tion or purchase Of outstanding
bonds, is also a measure worth consid,
GRAFTON which would be likely in its
operation to facilitate the payment Of
the public debt and furnish a more lib
eral basis for banking. 1t is apparent,
as Secretary Window has pointed out,
that the ipelasticity of the system of
currency issues in the shape OF Governs
ment notes and certificates must al
ways prove an impediment to busin ess.
The Government cannot with either
safety or convenience accommodate Its
financial action to the fluctuations oi

GreeYy against Scull.

WAsuNGToN, Dec. S.-Represents
tive Edward Scuil, says a special dis
patch to the PittsbuTg Post, was some
wha> surprised to-day when Mr.. John
Murray served him with notice that Mr..
Thomas ii. GreeVy, Democratic caudi-
date for Congress IN the Twenl let ID
Pennsylvania district in the late CAM
paingn, would contest Mr.. Scull's right
to represent the district in the Fifty
second Congress. Mr.. Scull gave Mr..
Murray receipt for the package con-
tanning the notice of contest and the
allegations on which II is based. These
allegations arr 163 in number, and
charge that Mr.. ScuIl's election was
secured through fraud, corruption and
Inflammation in every precinct in the
district. Mr.. Gresvy has engaged as
his lawyers to push his contest General
A. H. Coffroth of Somerset, and Mr..
A. Dively of Blair.
This makes the fourth Pennsylvania
district in which there will be contests
in the next Congress. The others are
the Twelfth, Sixteenth and Twenty
fourth. There may be still another in
the Eighteenth, where il is said Csp-
tain Skinner thinks of contest,ng the
seat of DIR. Atkinson. The charges
which Mr.. GIeevy makes in his notice
of contest to Mr.. Scull are OF a very
positive and sweeping character. and

REPRESENTATIVE MILLS suggestion

REPRESENTATIVE MILLS suggestion
of an income tax says the New York
World to meet the impending deficIen-
cies in the revenues of the Government
is likely to find considerable support in
the next Congress.
The World has long advocated a
graduated tax upon large incomes es the
most just tax" 1t is paid by those who
are able to pay and who have something
to pay with. A farmer whose land and
buildings are worth $4,000 is often
hard pressed for money with which to
pay State and local taxes. A MAD with
an income of $4,000 or more can al
ways make provisions for $50 ar S10Q
without serious sacrifice.
Though the need for more revenve is
certain to come as the result of Repu5-
lican recklessness, no party would yen-
ture to restore the duties upon tea and
coffee. The taxes upon the necessa-
ries of the people, such as clothing,
food, fuel and shelter should be reduced
rather increased. Where is the new
revenue to- come from, except from the
new taxes And what tax is at once
so just and SO likely to commend itself
to the Farmers Alliance and the other
fresh forces in politics as q tax on the

GRANDFATHER HoAR OF the ancient
BouI bon regime, says the Pittsburg
Post, is not having afternoon tea sue
cess with the force and fraud bill that
he counted on. His move to take f.
vote on the bill next Friday dlscloses
the fact there are % Democratic Sene-
tors who desire 10 be heard on it and
as the honorable Senator'S rarely treat
themselves 10 more than one set speech
day, here is work mapped out for q
month. Senator Hoar, therefore, de-
sires conference Of his fellow Repub-
licans TO engineer measures to force q
vote and see how many can be relied on
to stand by such drastic policy which
means not only fixing time for vote,
but the adoption of Speaker Reed's S
patent gag process to bring the Senate
to a vote on this essential preliminary.
In hundred years this has not been
dore in the Senate. This may we'll
give pause TO conservative Senators on
the Republican side.
A further element OF discord was IN
troduced yesterday Tuesday,, on the
Republican side by Mr.. Plumb, of KAN
sas Introducing free silver bill, and
giving notice that if the force bill was
not disposed of at an early day he would
move to lay it aside and proceed to the
consideration of measures relating to
the financial condition of the country.
This is in line with the speech made by
Mr.. German of Maryland on Monday.
which caused fiutter on the Republi-
can side.
If the issue is Joined between free
silver coinage bill and the force and
fraud bill, the latter will go by the
boards, as it did last session. There Is
a strong majority in the Senate for a
free coinage bill, and it is backed by a
tremendous popular sentiment; an over
whelming one IN the West and So1th
and with the Farmers Alliance. No
body is calling for the force bill. To
press it now would be like galvanizIng
corpse.
