DOWN TOA BUSINESS BASIS

The New Rule VIII Bring the Dealings
Between Uncle sam aud Cousressmen'
hut that Probably VIII not suit the
Latter.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10
Speaker Crisp to-day authorized Ser
gsant-at-Arms Snow 70 make public the
new form of certificate by which the
old law, in disuse for thirty years, is re-
vived and the pay of members is dock
ed" for absenteeism. The member GER
titles to the number Of days he was ab-
sent during the month and the Speaker
certifes to the amount due him.
Mr.. Snow said concerning the new
system;
al feel that il must result In much
confusion and friction, yet, as the law
exists aud the House wants me to exc
cute it, 1 will do so. There will be
many difficulties in keeping the ac-
counts aud will necessarily be subjected
TO much inconvenience. At present
mem bers draw cash from the cashier,
or else make drafts through the banks
on the balance with US. Now,
il member Ia New York draws
on US through a local bank, the
drafs will be presented TO Us on the
fourth Of the mouth, which is pay day
for the preceding month. But at that
time we will not have the members
signed certificate, showing the amount
due him. The certificates cannot be
made until the last moment as the de-
duction for absenteeiSm may occur on
the last day. Then il is not within the
bounds OF possibility for $50 members
OF Congress 20 make out their certil-
Gates at the moment they are wanted.
After that they must 90 TO the Speaker
for approval As result 10 will be
difficult aud perhaps impossible to keep
run OF the balances. can't see how
we can keep drafts and checks made by
members through banks from going TO
protest. It will De no satisfactory thing
10 have a dozen or more drafts going to
protest At time with the attendant in
convenience and injury to the bank
credit Of members. Still /! the House
wants this system resumed, / will exc
cute il to the best OF my ability. The
first deduction will DO on the fourth OF
next month"
Cashier Ballentine anticipates a de-
moralization OF his balances and is at 6
loss 20 know how they can be kept so
that members can be paid, personally or
by their drafts. with any assurance that
they are not being Overpaid. IL sweeps
away every vestige OF the favorS and
ease of payments with which the office
has heretofore tried 20 facilitate money
dealings with members.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 19.-In-
quiry concerning the proceedings Of
the executive session Of the Senate
yesterday develops the fact that the
Senators take more serious view Of the
prospective gathering Of Cogeyites and
others here than the first report would
seem TO indicate. The opinion is ex-
pressed by Senators who sartici-
pated in the executive proceedings that
in view Of these precedents and the
emergency that is likely 20 arise, Presi-
dent Cleveland would bs justified in is
suing a proclamation warning the men
now on their way to the city in connec-
tion with Coxey's movement that the
authorities will be prepared TO require
the strictest observance OF order.
TIE OPINION IS FREELY EXPRESSED
in the Senate, and was advanced in sI-
ecutive session, that Congress could not
afford TO, and should not, do anything
looking 20 the sustenance Of the COXey
army Whils here. IL is expected that II
q large body OF men should assemble, as
is now regarded as probable, they will
soon fnd themselves more anxious to
secure food TO sustain life
than money TO build roads,
and will be clamorous for
an appropriation 10 that end. Senator
COckrell, Chairman OF the Committee
on Appropriations has given notice Of
q speech on the PETER resolution for to-
morrow, and when asked to-day for an
expression OF his views declined to talk,
urging that he would probably touch
upon this phase Of the question in his
speech.
1t is probable that several Senators
will discuss the question freely in this
debate during the morning hour to-
morrow.

VrLL1AMsPoRr, MD, April 10
Hagersto wn will receive the Common
veal army this evening. The town is
alarmed after the way the CoXeyites
showed their teeth at Hancock last
night and seventy cOnstables were
sworn in. The army came near taking
i'm a desperate recruit at Hancock last
night. The man had been loahng for
a day or two with q camp Of twenty-five
recruits that had been waiting on the
outskirts Of the town. just before the
arrival OF the COmmOnweal boats the
man was identified by Sheriff Wilhelm,
of Fayette county, as James Mason, al
leEed TO have been the murderer OF
Chief Engineer Paddock In the Con-
nslsville coke riots two weeks ago.
Mason was arrested and taken back TO
Fayette county.
The COmmonweal boats left Hancock
with a good May men missing owing 10
the license that had been given them in
the evening. The laggards either fol-
lowed the tow path or cut across the
country and reioined the main body
here. The army breakiaSted on the
fats between the canal and the river,
and At noon took up the march 10
HagerstOwn, expecting to camp there
tonight.

lieved that train will be secured at

breakfast before breaking camp, and
enough provisions were taken along to

Kelley's reason for marching was that
he had been promised a train by repre-
sentatives OF the various railroad broth
erhoods. The labor leaders agreed

The Supreme Court Has Declared 1t
Unconstitutional.
THE REASONS FOR THE DECISION.
The State Has No Right to Create
for Itself Monopoly and Raise
Revenue From the Profits OF
Merchandising Under That
Monopoly-Might as Well Deal
In Shoes and Clothing or Gro
ceries and Meat.

COLUMBIA, s. c., April io.-The Till
man State dispensary liquor law has
been declared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court OF South Carolina, two
justices concurring and one (Tillman-
ite) member Of the Supreme Beach dis
senting from the opinion.
The decision was rendered by Chief
Justice Mclver. Justice McCown as
senting. Justice Pope (the Tillnan
justice) dissents The decision was
rendered in q composite case composed
OF case originating In Darlington
and appealed TO the Supreme Court by
the State authorities and OF several
minor cases likewise appealed oy the
State The ground on which the law
is declared unconstitutional Is that 10
creates a monopoly for the State. JUS
tics McIver's decision declared the law
unconstitutional In nearly every respect
and practically holds that 10 cannot be
upheld on any vital point. The proht
to the State is declared vicious Gov.
Tillman says be is rot talking; that II Is
time only for action.
AS VIEWED IN WASHINGTON
WAsHINGToS, ID. c., April i9.-The
South Carolina delegation In Congress
was thrown into CONSERVATION on the
receipt Of kilograms stating that tho
Supreme Court OF the State had de-
cared the Dlspensary liquor law un-
constitutional.
The Dispansary law has been such .
supreme issue in South Carolina, accen-
tu1ting party lines, that the Congress
men from that State regard tho decision
as profoundly important
Mr.. McLaurln, who as former Attor-
ney General. is familiar with the case
and has all the briefs on which the de-
cision was based, said: Tho essential
point I'm the case was whether the State
had the right TO engage In the whisky
business as a means OF profit and TO raise
State reveuue. No one doubted the
mower to regulate tho business FOR po-
lice purposes, but the legal point Was
made that the State could no
more 90 into the whisky business for
profit than II could 60 into the shoe, or
hat or
ANY OTHER BU sINEss ENTERPRISE.
| IL is probable that the decision hinged
on this main point. The decision Is not
a personal reverse for Governor Till-
man. lie has simply been executing
the law as he found IT,"
Representative Isler, one OF the Con-
seryativs or anti-Tillman party OF the
state, said that the decision would un-
doubtedly bring peace 10 a much dis.
turbed State.
Representative Talbert, OF the Reform
or Tillman party, said: III think tho
decision will have the effect OF strength
ening the Reform party. On It's face 10
appears to be reverse and II viii un-
doubtedly excite such feeling 10 this
State that tho reform element eventn-
ally will be benefited"
