A queer competition has been going on re-
Gently between Uncle Sans government
and the city Of Philadelphia. Uncle Sans
government has been enjoying the services
of an accomplished architect to whom he ha:
paid 1850 year. The city of Philadelphia
being in want of just such an architect and
having difficult time in fniing one has Of
fered Uncle Sans architect $1o.OOOa year to
come over to Philadelphia. And Uncle Sam
just now finds that he must in the future
build his postoffices and custom houses with
the aid of an inferior architect This is
only one case Of many that are all the time
coming up in Uncle Sans establishment.
Some day there will be trouble In the Su-
preme Court itself. Uncle Sam now pays his
Supreme court judges $4,000 year. Such
great lawyers as he wants on that bench
may earn easily in practice from $4,000 to
$4,000 yearly. So far Uncle Sam has been
very lucky In finding men who have not
thought of money first; but some day he is
certain to find some of his judges leaving

The Protection of cl,izens.

1t Is amusing and not little exasperatipe
to read In the editorials of London papers
that the Inability of the Federal authority to
interfere In New Orleans and bring to Justice
the lynchers OF the Italians shows a fatal
defect In the American constitution that
SHOULD be remedied at once" The London
Spectator, an able journal that has ALWAYS
been very fair towards the United States, has
said recently, SERIOUS thinking Americans
will admit the imperfection of the constitu.
tion, and that they are bound to remedy the
defect, all the more because there is small
chance of their being compelled to remedy
it." The Spectator speaks as If 1t would be
perfectly easy to remedy the constitution in
this respect at any odd moment. With such
rashness do our foreign advisers enter upon
the dark and bloody ground of American
politics. Has the London Spectator never
heard that the Federal government has not
the power, or at least does not exercise the
power IL II has it, to protect its own citizens
WITHIN sight OF the dome of the capitol at
Washington? The constitution of the Fed
eral governmental law superior even IN
treaty obligations that the nriui
leges Of citizenship shall be epjoved uitbor,

Federal government has failed to protect its
citizens in that right, even in those elections
which pertain particularly to the Federal
government, the elections for members of
Congress. The Italians who have been
murdered in New Orleans are but handful
compared with the American citizens, white
as well as black, who have gone the same
way at the hands of assassins who never
were punished. In eight years nearly 5000
persons were killed or wounded In Louisiana
In the year 1868 the official record shows that
1884 persons were killed and wounded. On

the day following. Nor did these political
murders end in Louisiana and with the year
1874 The fate of Clayton in Arkansas, is
another instance of political assassination
Tor which the United States authority has
never been able to take any more effective
action than to expel from a seat in the House
OIL Representatives the man who profited by
the assassination. Political murderers walk
the streets in Arkansas to-day. known as
such, but unmolested. The Federal govern
ment does not protect Its own citizens, vot-
ing at its own elections. 1t is therefore
hardly in situation to protect Italians.
There certainly is defect in our laws, if
not in our constitution; but 1t is not SO easy
thing to remedy 1t as our English advisers
seem to think. There are certain sections
OF this country where the people want to be
let alone in their performances with their
fellow men; and when they are interfered

pean nations, notably of late years the king.

shotby the New Orleans mob were men who
had left Italy for Italy's good. The most OF
them were convicts. or men who would have
been convicts had they received their de.
serts. and had the law against their admis.

should have been, they would never have

the future less of these undesirable elements

The Argus might have discovered that
the tariff on sugar was tax as long ago as
Mr.. Mckinley introduced bis tariff bill, for
In the preface to the sugar schedule of that
bill he distinctly said that the tariff in this
case was tax and increased the price of su-
gar by its amount. because sugar was an ar
ticle which we could not produce to the ex.
tent Of our needs. No protectionist has ever
denied that the tariff on such articles was q
tax, and the theory Of pro lection is in favor

however, which was Democratic measure

tariff on sugar substantially where it found

BURN9 W. McFADDEA


The seizure Of Michael Burns stock of
liquors in original packages in 1887 by
Sheriff McFsddsn Is still fresh in the me m
DRY Of Augusta people. How Burns wss
found guilty At the September term Of the
Superior Court and the case was appealed
and in time decided in Burns favor are
also well known facts.
Soon Michael Buns commenced q suit
against C.. r. McFsdden for seizing the
liquors involved in this celebrated case
After the decision Of the Supreme Court of
this State made about year ago, the seized
liquors were returned to Burns. but he
nevertheless commenced this action, claim
ing damages in si2 900. Mr.. MeFadden
pleaded his warrants in defense, in techni
cal form, but Burns claimed that the war
rants were no protection to McFadden be-
cause the liquors which he seized were
liquors imported by himself and we're in the
original packages, In his possession when
seized. The question Of law growing out
Of these conflicting claims was arsued
Wednesday morning before Judge Webb
st Portland. s. C. Strout. Esq appeared
for Burns and Hon. J. H. Drummond for
McFsdden.
Mr.. Drummond argued that - the warrant
was issued by 8 court Of competent juris-
diction, was regular upon its face ami was
executed according to its mandate, it was q
protection to the officer serving II; that the
owner Of imported liquors so seized must
come into court and there make his defence.
and IL be prevails he has no more claim to
hold the officer than any other person who
Is acquitted in any other form Of prosecution.
Mr.. Strout raised 3 new question under
the statute. viz That only liz uors intended
for unlawful sale can be seiz ID. and the
officer must determine at his peril what, If
any, of the liquors found in the place de
scribed are intended for unlawful sale, and
| seize only them. and IL he seizes liquors
found there not intended for unlawful sale.
he 10 . trespasser, and as these liz aors were
not intended for unlawful sale, this seizure
was unlawful. He held further that ~ the
plssdings admit that McFadden knew that
these were imported liquors and was pre-
sumed to know the law. he was lis Bile 10
this case.
Mr.. Drummond in reply held thst the
| warrant by its terms runs against oil the
intoxicating liquors found in the place de
| scribed and that neither the iaw nor the
warrant imposes upon the officer the duty Of
| deciding whether the liquors are, or are not,
| really intended for ualaw full sale, but that
Ii 10 sufficient for him that his warrant alleges
that they are intended for unlawful sale
and thAt as it 10 his duty to execute the
warrant according to its terms. His knowl
edge ~ to the truth or falsity Of the allie.
cations in the warrants has nothing to do
with the case.
