THE PALMETTO LIQUOR LAW.
South CarOlina's Attorney Genera
Says 1t is n Success,

The South Carolina liquor Jaw comes up
before the Supreme Court of the United
States in an indirect manner through one
of the seizures made by Gov. Tillman s
1fficers. This is what is known as the Swan
case. Swan. a state constable, seized bar
rel of liquor in a railroad depot and action
was brought against him. The railroad was
in the hands of a receiver appointed by a
federal court, and Swan was adjuiged in
contempt for SELLING the liquor. The states
contention is that the seizure was made in
carrying out the police powers of the state
and was justifiable.
Attorney General d. A. TOWNSEND Of
South Carolina is here to represent the
state in this and two other cases peudr z
before the Supreme Court. Speaking Of the
palmetto law, he said:
Gov. Tillman is able to hold his own
against any combination that may lie put
up against him. The liquor law Is a sue
cess in many ways. The court records
show decrease in drunkenness; there is
less liquor sold throughout the state, and
provision dealers everywhere report that
they are selling more goods. There is a
large amount of money paid out in the
state for weekly wages, and 1t Is evlder t
that 1t is not going for liquor as much as
1t used to. But our hands are full l bsye

In the former village 1000 men who could

the democratic faith to them from the

This Is a minor incident, but it has the
value of the proverbial straw for prognos-
tfcators. The result of the election Is in
doubt, but If Gov. Russell were a republican
he might have the courage to say that
Greenhalge would be elected.
For Massachusetts is still a republican
state. 1t was the only state in the coun-

WAR DEPARTMENT.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 1899.
By direction of the President the retita.
ment from active service on the 5th of
November, 1888. by operation of law, of
Brigadier General Robert Williams, adju-
tant general Of the army, under the pro-
visions of the act of June 80 1882 is an
nounced.
General Williams was graduated from the
Military Academy in 1851 and has been con-
tinuousy in service since. Even before
the late war he had come to be known, in
operations against hostile Indians and en-
gagements with them, as an exceptionally
accomplished cavalry officer. and had been
brought from this service to the Military
Academy that cadets might receive the
benefit of his instruction and might profit
by his example.
AS the colonel of the first Massachusetts
cavalry. in the late war, he quickly nodded
lnte'ngent material into disciplined troops
and led into action at Secessionville South
Mountain. Antietam and minor engage
ments an organization which never lost
the impress of its first colonel and which
gave to history a gallant record.
In later years as an officer of the adju-
tant generals department. intrusted with
responsible duties and placed at times in
trying positions. he served with distinction
in the bureau and with military commands
army.
Firm, but kind. dignified and courteous,
without partiality, favor or affectation he
has faithfully and ably discharged the func-
tions of his office.
In this brief mention of the service of
Gen. Williams the Secretary of War bears
testimony to his faithful, honorable and
distinguished career.

of Its Provisions.

Senator Hill Outlines His Prediction
of It's Provisions.
Senator Hill addressed a gathering of over
1000 persons at Buffalo. N Y, on Saturday
night, and. in the course Of his remarks,
said:
II need not reiterate at any length the
general features which. are likely to charac-
terze' o6r proposed revision Of the present
tariff
1T may, however, be generally STAYED:
First. That the tariff taxes imposed will
be limited to the absolute needs of the gov
ernment.
Second. Luxuries and not the necessaries
of life will be taxed.
Third. The interests of manufacturers will
be promoted by placing raw materials need
ed and used therein on the free list
Fourth. Subsidies and bounties will be
eliminated wholly or generally whenever it
is practicable or can be done without seri-
Gus injury.
Fifth In the imposition Of necessary du-
ties the interests of American labor will be
fny0<ea to the extent of the difference in
w1glD 8etWeen our own and other coun-
tries, as was provided in the Mills bill
Sixth. The main and direct purpose of the
duties imposed will be for revenue only.
Seventh. There will be no governmental
partnership with private interests. no pa
ternalism tolerated. no unfair discrimina-
lions, no 1aVOritlSm, no prOhlDltory duties,
no unjust exactions and no sudden changes.
THE democratic party is pledged to re-
duce the tariff taxes Of the country and 1t
will redeem its promise.
"The democratic party adheres to the
doctrine that protection. per se-fProtection
for the sake of protection proclaimed
by the republican party. in other words the
imposition of tariff taxes not for the pur-
pose of revenue or the needs of the govern
ment, but to foster private interests-vio-
lates the spirit If not the letter of the fed
eral Constitution"

CONGRESsMEN SCARCE.
Many Have Left the City for Their
Various Homes.

The congressional contingent in the city
is pretty well thinned out today. The New
York, Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Virginia delegations are at home at
tending the elections and have taken with
them many well-known Congressman and
good takers to make closing speeches at
the last moment. The southern delega-
tions have not quorum present and but
few Of the members from south of Mason
and Dixon's line remain in town. Many
of them are planters and have crops to
market at this time, while others have
pressing business with their constituents in
the way Of explanations upon the silver
legislation of the extra session.
The members who remain IN the CITY are
those from the distant states or Others
who have irons in the fire in the depart
ments- The heads of departments had
many callers today from the latter class.
who desire to close up some little matters
of patronage that have been pending during
the silver fight 1t is thought that the
members will begin to straggle back within
a week or so, and as long session of Con-
gress is anticipated, many of them will
probably bring their families and settle
down until next summer.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
1t Will Be the Foreign Policy of the
Administration.
Commodore j. G. Walker to Succeed
Of the Naval Forces at Rio.

The latest authentic information on the
subject Is that Commodore j. G. Walker
VIII succeed Commodore Stanton in the
command of the naval forces at Rio, and
that his selection indicates a vigorous for
eign policy on the part of the administra-
ton in the line of a strict adherence to the
principles Of the Monroe doctrine. This
line OF action will include a material addi-
ton to our present naval strength in Bra
lillian waters, with the New York and the
San Francisco as the advance guard of the
reinforcements, to be followed closely by
the Chicago and the Bennington Of the
European squadron. The execution of this
plan of action will depend on future de-
velopments in the Brazilian situation.

The Columbus Carayel..

The original plan to have the Columbus
caravels brought to Washington for per-
manent keeping seems to have miscarried,
as the trustees of the Columbian Museum
of Chicago have arranged with Secretary
Herbert to have these valuable exhibits
remain at Chicago In their charge during
the winter. An effort will be made during
the winter to have Congress authorize the
transfer OF the caravels to the Colum bian
Museum of Chicago for permanent keeping.
Objection will undoubtedly arise to such
disposition of the ancient models. on the
ground that the capital city is the only
proper repository for them. The destina-
ton of these ships will be settled at the
