Home Matters In Washington.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Till
man succeeded to-day in passing his dis
pensary bill through the Senate without
objection. This bill provides that all fer
mented, distilled or other liquor trans
ported into any State or Territory for use,
consumption or sale shall be subject to
the operation and effect of the laws ofsuch
State, and shall not be exempt by reason
Of being introduced in original PACKAGES
for private use or herwise, and each
State shall have absolute control of such
liquors within its borders, by whomso-
ever produced and for whatever use i'm
ported: Provided, that nothing herein
contained shall be construed as affecting
the internal revenue laws of the United
States Or of liquors in transit through
such States. The general effect of the bill
ia to carry out the provisions Of the
South Carolina dispensary law, notw1th-
standing the numerous decisions obnox-
ious to the enforcement Of said law. The
bill passed the Senate without a word OF
discussion by unanimous consent. 1t
was reported from the commerce com.
mittee more than q month ago, and Sena-
tor Tilln,au has been industriously at
work upon it aver since.
The trouble will come when the at
tempt Is made to pass it through the
House. Senator Tillman admits that he
hardly expects to get the House 10 pass
upon it during the present session, but
he looks for favorable action next winter.
The position Of the bill is improved by
its passage through the Senate, although
many bills have failed to become laws az
ter having passed one branch OF Con-
gress.
Senator Bacon says the House conferees
are making a stubborn light against free
cotton ba aging and free cotton ties, ana
the friends OF the Senate amendment will
have a hard fight to keep those articles
off the dutiable list. The Senate confer
ees insist that these articles shall be on
the free LIST, and the question may have
to be fought out in open session again.
Senator bacon Is of the opinion that the
House will finally yield to the Senate on
these Items.
He sayu he has every reason to believe
that the duty on raw cotton imposed by
the Senate will stand.-Special to Ncws

The American people are proverbially
q restless, busy, hurrying people. Even
tho summer season brings no rest to the
larger portion of u people. Pleasure
seeking itself has assumed the formida-
BILE features of an occupation. 1t used to
be considered as q period Of delightful
idleness for those who could indulge In
the luxury of idleness. 1t is this class
which makes a business OF pleasure and
rushes madly from mountain to seashore
and then back to the lakes and so on I'M
til the summer is one hurried rush OF
travel and change. We hear a great deal
ofthe troubles Of the poor, but a thought

Senator Tillman's D%ispensary Law.

Senator Tillman's Dispensary bill has
passed the Senate, but it will hardly pass
the House. Ifit should pass both Houses,
however, and BIO approved by the Presi-
dent, we are satisfied that it will not pass
the United States Courts, which have in
recent years been the sole defeoce Of our
people from the tyranny and oppression
OF tactional legislation. The bill pro-
vides that all fermented, distilled or 9th.
er liquor transported into any State or
Territory for use, consumption or sale
shall be subject to the operation and eff
feet OF the laws Of such State, and shall
not be exempt by reason Of being intro
duced In original packages for private
use or otherwise, and each State shall
have absolute control of such liquors
within its borders, by whomsoeyer
produced and for whatever use imported.
That appears to be "horse high, bull
strong and pig tight" and it would prob
ably stand but for the fact that the pro-
vision Of tho Constitution controlling the
commerce of the States cannot be set
a. le by an act of Congress. AS long as
traffic, not in the exercise of the police
power but for the money that 1t can make
out Of it, dealers in liquor from other
States cannot be restrained from the eX-
ercise Of their constitutional rights. The
D%ispensary law in South Carolina, as
Judge Simonton says in q of his decis-
ions, sis an attempt under the guise OF
the police power to secure for the State
the emoluments of the liquor traffic here:
tofore enjoyed by individual c%itizons, and
80 increase her revenue" 1.-THE State
cannot engage In this business for this
purpose in c~ontravention of the rights Of
citizens of the other States" The true
intent of MIR. Tillman's Senate bill will
be considered in connection with the true
intent Of the D~ispensary law in this State.
Both laws are fraudulent in their purpo-
ses, and the Courts will tear away all
fimsy DISCUSSES when they are put to the
test.
A State car prohibit; q State cannot
trade. According to q dispatch from
Washington one Of the Senators says that
the bill was allowed to pass the Senate
with the understanding that it has not
possible reference to local exigencies in
South Carolina.'-News and Courier.

Tt is incomprehensible that Kansas
farmers are appealing Cor help to save
their wheat, offering as high as So per
day for laborers, while the State is
swarming with tramps, who refuse to
work; but that Is the condition now.
Thousands of acres of wheat is still in the
shock because farmers cannot get help to
stack it. Tramps swarm along the rail-
roads, bot they refuse to work. The peo-
pie in the towns and country, however,
have organized against them and refuse
to give them food. The women slam the
doors in their faces wien they come to
their homes begging for something to
eat, and tell them to go to the field and
work or starve.

An exchange truly says: "When you
see a youth who will do any sort of work,
nomatter how mental IL may be, rather
than be idle, you can make up your
mind that he amounts to something. The
young man who would starYe before he
would do anything beneath whst he con-
ceives to be his dignity, is not made OF
the right kind of stuff to cut much Of q
figure in this life. Anhonest toll is hon
orable. There is nothing 80 morally de-
grading as that aversion to manual labor,
which is usually a combination oflaziness
and conceit."

The Atlanta Journal says the move
ment ofpopulation from the West to the
South is based on the growing conviction
that this section offers advantages. 1t is
becoming more and more generally
known that the South is both q p%leasanter
and more profitable place to live in than
the West, and neither the misrepressn-
tations of newspapers nor the discrlmina-
tons of railroads can avert the natural re-
sui. ofthis knowledge or stop the tide Of
emigration from the West to the South.

now to become q law. AS q result Of the
conference, ties and bagging are restored
to the dutiable list, and the duty of 20

Wheat Yield will be Large.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July lS.-Long
trains of empty freight cars have rolled
out OF Kansas City for two weeks and
dropped off irtwos, threes and fives on
side tracks along the lines Of the railroads
in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and
Oklahoma.
These empty freight cars of which there
are thousands, will be filled with new
1897 wheat inside Of four or five weeks.
A tremendous grain rush is expected and
the best of management by railroad
officials will be needed to prevent q
huge grain blockade, or grain car famine.
Conservative estimates of crop s~tatisti-
clans place the yield of wheat for this
year in Kansas alone at $4,000, 900 bushels.

show that South Carolina has mined
more gold since 1890 than any other
