The Pickens sentinel. [volume] (Pickens, S.C.) 1871-1903, 1893-06-01

Should you ask me whence this lawsuit?
Whence this scrapping natch, this sct-to,
| With the OdorS of the hop fields,
| with the interstate relations,
| With the kegs and the quart bottles!
| shuold answer, should tell you,
| "From the great State Of Iowa,
Where the Pottnwatts onced nourishcd,
| Drank their drHughts unawed by statutes
Flovorcd with Nah-ma-wusk, spearmint,
Out OF q nu-gon, tho drink BOWL
| In Peoria lived the I.eisys,
| They were brewers in Peoria,
| Beer they shipped into Iowa,
! Beer in kegs and beer In bottles;
| All the kegs had L. s. stamps on,
| All the bottles sealed and covered.
| \. j. Hardin was marshal
| In the great State OF Iowa,
| And lie seized upon the wetgoods
Saying that the common carriers,
| by the statutes 0f Iowa,
Could not bring within her borders
| These into xicating liquors;
ESh, shame upon you carriers
Then the LCisys brought rcplevin
'Gainst the marshal, y. J. Hardin,
Crying kn.go kago, do not,
Getting back the captured wet goods
And one dollar for detention.
Hardin then took six exceptions
no the high court of Iowa,
Saying thnt sometime Po-nc-mah,
lie would beat the luwlesS Leisys,
Prophet, Joss-a-kecd, was Hardin,
For the high court said the Judgement
Was erroneous AMI reversed 1t;
So again the lawlcSS l.eisyS
Lost their drinkables and dollar,
Had to pay all costs and charges;
But they did not ask for pity,
Instantly appealed the matter
From the T1i: wuijes, the Pysmles.
\s they called these western judges,
70 the big c0n rtof the nation
TO the WcnIli.gocS the giants,
Saying that SO netinc po-uc- c-mnh,
We Will have again our wct-go0tis.
y. ThcIc the Ssrhcm Of the big court,
With his dark and long mustachcs,
Many moons without the twcczers,
Once again reversed the judgement
And decided for the l.eisys.
Saying that the power to manage
Commerce 'mong the States and rcd. d.men
by tho constitution vests In
Congress, and no State can have IT,
Saying that Nil sorts Of wet.Soods.
T.. Subjects are Of iroIG "a ana commerce.
Though the cry OF lnncntation,
WrhO no win, lsmcntation,
Rises up In sundry places.
Saying that in minor matters
Power to govern trade is local
Until Congress regulates II,
Such na scliin;; cakes aud candies,
But aT touching transportation
From one State into another
Goods OF national complexion,
such AZ wer-TOOiS, such MS liquors.
Absence OF Il law by CongreBs
On the subject IS declaring
That the commerce hc unhin'lcrcd-
citing RI0wn against Chicago.
Thus the lawsuit waa decided,
ThmS the Srr"Ppiing match was ended.
And the marshal. Soun-gc- -ta-ha,
Had To yield unto the giants,
WcH-!iEnrS. the big court giants,
Then the lnwlcss IcisyS Eloricd,
DIV" tnc reru plpC. tne y pnH-Hu,
Anl the Indian corn. Mun-,la min,
Bowed its taSscls showing pleasure,
And the grape vine, the l'r-ina-Sut,
Dropped in Joy purple cluster,
And the wild goose Wn-bcwn-wa,
Flew Rnl spread the ncw decision.
