FITZSIMMONS On TRIAL.
Charged with the Killing of Pugilist
RIordan.

Syracuse. n. Y. June 24.-Bob Fitz-
simmons appeared in the court of ses-
sions today to answer to the Indictment
charging him with the killing of Con
Riordan in the course of an exhibition
given in this city last winter. When
the court adjourned at 1870 two jurors
had been accepted, but they are subject
to peremptory challenges. They arc Fred
erick Reihlman, farmer from Otisco. and
John A. Robinson, a farmer from Pom
pei.
At O'Clock but four jurors had been
selected. The judge overruled q chal-
lenge for an actual bias made by the
attorney for the defense on the ground
that the juror was ii church member.
1t was also ruled that jurors prejudiced
against prize fighting, unless such preJu-
dice existed in this particular case, were
not disqualified. The indications are that
the extra panel of fifty drawn for the
trial will not furnish jury.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Today the
treasury deficit passed the SJ0,OO0,OOO
mark, the exact amount of the excess
of expenditures over the receipts since
July l, 1894, being S50,404, $50. The de
felt for tho thirteen days of the pres
ent month is S5,105,517. This is the
second year since 1865 that the eXpen-
ditures of the government have ex-
ceeded its revenues. Last year the de-
ficiency was S69, S03, go making the ag-
gregate deficiency since July 1893,
S120,206, 147.
The receipts from customs so far
this year amount to little over $685.
100000, which is about 100000 in en-
cess of the last fiscal year. The inter
nal revenue receipts this month to
date aggregate about Sl25,J0O,OOO, as
against S147, ,232 during the fiscal
year 1894.
The best information obtainable as
as to the net result of the years tinan-
cial operations is that even if the in
come tax law is permitted to remain
as it is, the deficiency on July LIST next
will exceed S50,0O0,OO0, and if the law

What Is Making Populists?

A writer in the Clarion Ledger says:
"If the Wall street plan of the gold
standard, and the issuance of national
bank notes for currency, prevails, with
full power given the banks to control
the whole currency of the country, to
initiate it and then contract it as they
will, and not as the needs of the peo-
pie require; then the hold on the coun
try by these money barons will be
complete, and every body who owns
property might just as well make an
assignment to them.
The greed and selfishness that these
gellows manifest, and the power they
have is appalling, and the panic of '93,
which they largely worked up, and the
issuance at their command, in time of
profound peace, of SIG, O0O,0O of bonds,
with probability of more to follow, has
made more Populites than all the

Is 1T A NATIONAL ISSUE.

ISIT A NATIONAL ISSUE.
South Carolina seems to be talking
notification again, or at least the gov
ernor is. They have an idea down
there, as they have in a good many
other States, that the liquor traffic is
simply State affair, and, so thinking
they have run up against a Federal
court that thinks differently. We
sympathize with South Carolina, but
we don't see any help for her this side
of Congress. She is simply learning
the lesson that Iowa, Kansas, Maine
and every other State has had to learn
as soon as they tackled the drink prob
lem in any aggressive way.
The trouble lies in the fact that as
soon as a State settles upon policy
of repression for the sale of liquors
within her own borders the liquor
dealers outside her borders begin to
ship liquor into the State and the State
authorities find themselves powerless
to prevent it. The Federal constitu-
| ton gives to Congress exclusive right
to regulate interstate commerce, and
the Supreme Court has decided at
least twice that State can not exclude
the shipments of liquor from other
States, nor even the sale in "original
packages" after it gets into the State.
1t is true that Congress has passed a
law making the sale in 'original
packages" subject to the State laws.
but it has never yet forbidden the
shipment of liquors into a Prohibition
State, and when il is once in the State
its disposal is a very difficult thing to
regulate. South Carolina has found
this out, and her officials are accord
ingly Selling the liquor as soon as it
comes into the State. The Federal
court has accordingly issued an in
junction forbidding such seizures, and
Governor Evans wrathfully declares,
in effect, that he will see the Federal
court in Halifax before he obeys the
This, as the Frenchman
said of the hopeless charge at Balakla-
va, is magnificent, but it isn't war; for
the governor is bound to be routed
from any such position and, what is
more serious, half his power for the
execution of the dispensary law will
be stripped from him because of the
attitude of the Federal Government in
the matter of interstate commerce.
Gentleman of South Carolina, you
must sooner or later learn that this
question is what the Prohibitionists
have been telling you it is-a national
question. Neither your State nor any
other State can rid itself of the pestif-
erous traffic and protect its own homes
and its own people until we march
unitedly upon Washington and COM
pei the cooperation of Congress and
thb Federal executive. The Federal
Congress must deny to the liquor traf-
fic the rights of interstate commerce
before South Carolina can adequately
enforce her disPensary law, or Kansas,
Maine, and the Dakotas can adequate
ly enforce their prohibitory laws. Gov
ernor Evans and Senator Tillman may
rage to their hearts content, but the
Federal constitution will stand and
the Federal courts will compel COM
pliance with their DEGREES.
1t is a national question, and must
be settled in the arena of national as
we'll as State politics.-7he Voice
