 Congressman at Little Rock.

Congressman at Little Rock.
 LITTLE ROCK, Dec. 10.-EX-Congress- man Jere Harolson, who had been on trial in the federal court here on q charge of making and forging false af- tidavits and receipts and withholding pension money from its rightful own CTS, was found guilty.
 Harelsen is big man in colored cir cles. He located at Pine Bluff about three years ago, and built up an exten- sive business among the negroes as a pension attorney. His experience at Washington as a member of congress from Alabama during the reconstruc- tion period served him to good purpose in his iatter-day business, by reason of the opportunities furnished him for be- coming familiar with the methods pur- sued in the pension department He is withal regarded as a shrewd attorney, and possesses ability. He is apparently on the shady side of 50, and is as black skinned as the traditional ace of spades

THE MURDER IS OUT.

The Mystery Surrounding the Cling Trag- sdy Dispelled and the Whole Vile Plot Laid Bare-The Poor Unsuspecting Girl was Done to Death in Order that Harry Hayward Might Secure the Insurance on Her Life=-The Confessions.
 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. 10.-Still another confession has been made in the Catherine Cling murder case. It has been the theory of the police that C. A. Blixt, the engineer of the Ozark flats where both Miss Cling and Harry Hayward resided, committed the mur~ der at the instigation of Hayward. Yesterday Blixt broke down and made a complete confession, i'll which he charges Harry Hayward with commit ting the murder. According to his story he was sent by Hayward to the scene of the murder. Hardly had he arrived there than Hayward drove up with Miss Cling. When within fifty feet of him the shots were fled and Hayward alighted from the buggy.
 ''The deed is done, said he; "get in and drive it around until it is dead and then dump it out. y
 Blixt took Hayward's place in the
 
 about mile until he became satisfied that Miss Glng was dead Then he drove back, and when near the place where the murder was committed he rolled the body in the robe and pushed it out of the buggy and into the road. He then drove the horse about mile until he reached the Lyndale-avenue car line. Then he turned the animal loose and took q car down town. The horse went direct to the stable, and this was the first intimation that any one received that anything was wrong
 The murder. according to Blixt, was committed shortly after : o'clock, and as soon as he got into the buggy Hay ward walked to the IIennepin-ayenue car line and then took the daughter of prominent lawyer to the theater.
 Blixt claims that the murder was originally fixed for the preced' Ing Sat urday night, but circumstances were such that it had to be abandoned Hayward was to slug Miss Cling with a piece of railroad iron which Blixt had provided. The bodr was to have been thrown out near the curb at a street corner, the horse turned loose and the buggy wrecked for the pur- pose of giving color to the theory that the woman had been killed in q run away This plan, 50 Blixt says, could be notcarried out successfully, and it was decided to shoot her.
 Blixt tells of several other jobs which had been proposed by Hayward but which fell through, and says that after this job, for which he was to re- seive &, ,000, or one-fifth of the life in surance involved, he was to receive $4oO for doing Chicago man.
 Ole Erickson, who took the bundle of clothing to Iowa Falls, is believed to have been dupe, and it is expected that he will be released from custody to-day.
 Blxt last night told a story to the effect that Harry Hayward wanted his assistance in disposing of the father and mother of young woman in Mime apolis whom he wanted to marry and secure her property.

FIFTH PROPOSIfGUN.
THE liquor trade, as to the erercsse
of police pouer, is like all other trades
and employments
Finally, the liquor trade is as to
this question no different from any
other trade as to which the State may
exercise it's police power. The
attempt to make it exceptional ls not
founded in law or fact.
"The restraints on the sale OF
liquors are but the ordinary police
regulations such as the State may
make in respect to all classes of
trade and employments," is the
language of Judge Cooley. (Cooley's
Constitutional Limitations, pages 725.
1876.
The United States Supreme Court
has said S: 'If the State can
prohibit intoxicating liquors it may
also exclude tobacco or any other
article, the use or abuse of which it
may deem deleterious." Bowman
VS.. R. R., l25 U. S., 404
The fact is that the States, in the
exercise of the police power, actually
at this moment do regulate in this
and other States the trades as
follows, among others: Drugs,
tobacco, meats, coffee, all articles OF
food, fertilizers, flour, butter, public
markets, fruits, vegetables, by de.

PROPOSITION SECOND.
The State cannot go into trade be-
cause 1t IS opposed to the aohole system
of finance and tacation, 4" as set forth
IN Article 9 of the Constitution, 'ohich
Is the financial policy Of the State, and
which has adopted taration as the
affirmative system Of raising the reoe-
n~e and meeting the burdens and &C.
peases of government.
"These burdens are the burdens OF
civil government" and taxation is the
bene6cent and equitable means of the
citizens bearing equally these bur.
dens.
If the profits of trade could be
seized upon by the State to pay the
expense of civil government, then it,
would only be question of how
many trades would be monopolized
BY the Government before taxation
would cease. In other words, the
adoption Of the principle of the State
engaging in aud conducting trade,
and using it's profits as revenue.
would nullify the system of taxation.
The result would be that those
classes of citizens who are allowed
to conduct their trades and indus.
tries would in the end pay no taxes
and bear no burdens; but the ex'
penses of the Government would be
betrayed by the profits OF those trades
which had been monopolized by the
State to the exclusion of other class
of citizens conducting them.
In addition to CHS exposure to loss
in trade, and the hazard of mercantile
pursuit. and adventure, is not civil

Taxes are only for the ESTIMATED
Eexpenses of the State for each year.

to the manner in which it shall be
conducted. While the jurists of
continental Europe sometimes
include under the term police
power all governmental institutions
which are established with public
funds for The promotion of the public
good, yet, as understood IN american
Constitutional lar, the term means
simply the power of the State to
impose those restraints upon private
rights which are necessary for the
general welfare Of all, and is but the
power TO enforce the maxim Six
uturet tuo ut alienum non laedas
The provisions of this Act have no
reference to the regulation, in any
such sense, of the grain elevator
business and the right Of the State
to embark in the construction and
operation of these works cannot be
predicated on the police power"
"The time was when the policy
was to con6ne the function of govern.
ment to the limits strictly necessary
to secure the enjoyment of life,
liberty and property. The old Jeffer-
sonian maxim was that the country
is governed the best that is governed
the least" If the people wish
socialism and paternalism "they
must amend the Constitution of the
State. The present Constitution was
not framed on any such lines"
1T is always delicate as we'll as an
ungracious task to declare invalid an
Act of coordinate branch Of the Gov.
erntment. But the Legislature is not
the people any more than are the
executive and judiciary, and is
equally with them subject to the
limitations imposed by the Constitu.
ton. The Act now under considera.
tion seems to us 80 clearly in viola.
ton of the Constitution that it is our
bounden duty to so hold"
