Sioux FALLS, Dec. 14.-Judge Jones
of the circuit court holds that the
liquor traffic is contraband and that
an action to recover for the value of
liquor sold in this state contrary to the
prohibition law has no standing in court
The action was brought by J. J. Doug
las of Louisville, KY, against John
Munson for several barrels of whisky
The judge directed the verdict for the
defendant on the ground that the sale
was contrary to the state law, and that
therefore an action to recover could
have no standing in court.

Army Appropriation Bill.

WAsHING7 ON, Dec 1.-THE bill max
ing appropriations for the army for the
fiscal year 1898 was completed by the
house military affairs committee. The
amount carried is $24, l22, 400, $3.50, 900
less than for the current fiscal year,
and $4,000 below the estimates, the
cut being mainly due to the committee s
providing for the average strength of
the army instead of for its full legal

1.-The Supreme Court OF Illinois
has decided that drug stores and
other places operating soda foun-
tains, etc., cannot be compelled to
sell to colored persons. Such affairs
are not necessary to life or property,
and can be operated at the will of the
owner" The Vicksburg sCommer-
cial-Hcrald says this decision is in
accordance with the present tendency
of northern sentiment, which is sure
to find its way into and control law
and the courts. So long as the negro
was a novelty, sparsely interspersed
throughout that section, judicial con-
structions on determinations Of the
kind passed upon were after the doc
trines of an abstract philanthropy.
But as the test was brought home,
as the dark stream OF emigration
Moved into and stagnated IN the
Northern cities and towns, theory
gives place to the emotions and in
terests, the prejudices and the pas
sions Of human nature. Under real
tests and trials, there will be found
little difference with the whites of the
two sections.

"Ross," the special Baton Rouge
correspondent of the Daily States,
says of the member of the Legisla-
turc from East Carroll:
There was great deal of surprise
occasioned by the vote of Mr..
Wyly, the member from East Car.
roll, who, although elected from a
negro parish, was considered reliably
Democratic. Mr.. WHY surprised
all of his friends by voting in favor
of the combine on each occasion,
although he was considered Dem
ocrat and his action has occasioned
great deal of dissatisfaction not
only among his own constituency,
but all the Democratic members
from his section of the State who
are here.
His action is condemned by every
true Democrat in our parish. Mr..
WHY should not have sacrificed his
people and his friends in any such
manner.

Dominick O'Malley, the brag-
gadocio wind-bag of the New Or
leans City Item, has published his
side of the story in the walloping he
got at Baton Rouge last week; but
the following from the Vicksburg
Post is about as correct a version of
it as can be gotten at:
In direct contradiction to the SEN
sational and the perfect reverse of
truth as Published in O'Malley's
paper the Item, is the statement Of
late arrivals from Baton Rouge, of
the complete discontinue of Domi-
nick O'MalIey in the street ARRAY
there with Louis Clare.
Their statement is that the two
men were sitting in front of res
taurant. A political discussion en-
sued on the situation, O'Malley rep
resenting the Pharr candidate, Claire
known as the 'sex-convIct pet" of
the City League, the Foster side.
Bad blood existed already between
them on account of the active part
detective Dominick O'Malley had
taken in getting evidence in secur-
ing Clare's conviction whose weak
ness and uncertainty as afterwards
proved, led to CLAIRE being pardoned.
The dispute under the cireumstan-
ces, led to the lie being given by
O'Malley. Clare answered by a
knock down blow that landed
O'Malley out in the muddy filthy
street. O'Malley tried to draw his
gun without attempting to rise.
Claire had followed ur his advan-
tage and stood over his opponent
with his gun drawn.
As soon as U'Malley looked up in
the barrel of the "A calibre he threw
up both hands and begged for his
craven life and claimed that he was
unarmed. Claire turned quickly
and turned him over face downward
in the filth and took O'Malley's huge
pistol off his person and threw 1t
out in the street, then administering
few we'll placed kicks on the rear
of O'Malley's anatomy to express
his contempt, and filling the brag-
CARTS face with a handful Of the
sticky, black mud, rubbing it in
with full force, he allowed his hu-
inflated opponent to sneak away and
hide himself until the first train left
for the city.
The sentiment of the witnesses
were decidedly in favor of Claire,
and If he had listened to them
OMal1ey's unsavory career would
have ended then and there.

WENT RACK On HIS PARTY.

We were thunder-struck on Sat
urday evening last upon learning
through the city papers that our
Representative, Hon. G. S. WHY
had voted with the Republicans, ''to
90 behind the returns" HIS friends
would not believe it until 1t was
confirmed by statement from him'
self published in Saturdays Plea
yune, giving the following reason
for doing so: "That question was
legal proposition. l am lawyer.
! interpreted the law and the constl-
tuition to mean that the general as
sembly should 60 behind the returns,
and voted that way" He was ready
and willing to wreck the party of
white supremacy in this State be.
cause he was 'lawyer."
To say that Mr.. WHY'S actions
was a surprise is putting it mildly,
and Ire is condemned and bitterly
denounced by nine-tenths of the
Democrats of our parish for his
wrong doing. The people of East
Carroll little thought that when Mr..
WHY was elected to the high posi-
ton he holds that he would have
deliberately walked into the Repub-
lican camp and was ready and will
ing to turn over our State to the
crowd who helped plumber il in
years gone by.
Mr.. WHY was sent to the Legis-
laiure from East Ca, roll as TRUE
Democrat, and he should have rep
resented his parish as such, and
voted with his party and the
majority on this vital and most i'm.
portant question.
Mr.. J. w. Dunn while iu New
Orleans heard the rumors that Mr..
WHY would vote with the Republi-
cans "to go behind the returns"
and when Mr.. Dunn arrived in
Baton Rouge he told Mr.. Wyly the
rumors that he had heard. What
did Mr.. Wyly tell him? That the
rumors were false; and the next day
voted against his party.
The Citizens League had right
to go against Foster and vote "to
90 behind the returns" because
these members of the Legislature
were elected as Independents and
received their support outside of the
Democratic party. But Mr.. WHY
we do not believe had any such
right. He was elected by Demo
Gratis, from a Democratic parish
and should have represented it as a
Democrat.
We venture to say that he was
the only Democrat from Demo.
cratic parish who voted as he did.

An Honest General Assembly.

The General Assembly has daciar-
ed Gov. Foster duly elected COVER
nor of Louisiana.
Contrary to expectations the vote
in that body was not at all close,
but showed that an overwhelming
majority of our Legislators are
honest men who understand that the
constitution and laws of this State
are not to be trampled upon in the
interest of conspirators and preten-
ders.
The action of the General Assem-
bly, has been hailed with Joy and
delight throughout Louisiana and
now peace, prosperity and honest
government are assured.
To that overwhelming majority
of honest and true law makers, who
have saved the State from shame
and dlshonor, are due the sincerest
thanks of the people Of Louisiana.
Their names will go down 20 future
generations on the pages of history
and for all time they will be looked
upon as the sayiours Of our civiliza-
ton.
The fierce and bitter fight against
negro supremacy is over and the
white man triumphs.
Let US draw the broad mantle OF
charity over the action of some of
our misguided friends and as far as
possible let the past be forgotten.
Let there again be urion of intelli-
gence and let US shoulder to shoulder
make the fight to eliminate the
negro from our politics and then
demand and secure an honest and
fair election law.-Iberville South.
