mendations are only in line with what they
have advocated for many years.
a prominent populist of the south is

sents was advocated -four or five years
ago" by populists in Congress and tells
him the plan Is populistic pure and simple
and that he need not expect to steal popu-
listic thunder"
The fact is postal savings banks were
first recommended by Postmaster General

SOUTH CAROLINA'S APPEAL.
The Dispensnry Case Before the su.
Hreme Court May Be Advanced

The Dfspensnry Case Before the Su-
Preme Court May Bc Advanced.
The appeal Of the state authorities of
South Carolina from the decision of Judge
Simonton in the case Of the vandercook
Company's complaint of the, enforcement Of
the dispensary law has been docketed in
the United States Supreme Court The
representatives of both sides to the con-
troversy have agreed upon a motion to ad-
vance the case upon the docket, which mo-
tion probably will be made in the court
Monday.
In this case the principal point at issue
is the effect of the congressional amend
ments to the federal act regulating inter-
state traffic in spirits. These amendments
were incorporated in the law at Senator
Tillman's instance after the decision of the
Supreme Court holding the state law to be
antagonistic to this federal statute, but
Judge Simonton, in the present case held
that the amendments did not remove the
friction and that the enforcement of the
dispensary law by taking possession of
goods shipped into the state from the out
side, as in the case Of the Vandercook
shipment was a violation fof the right of
interstate commerce.

last been recognized by the japanese gov
ernmert AS a commercial point of equal i'm

co. A full-fiedged consul in the person of
Count Tatsugoro Nosse, one of the most

tributing point for nearly all the japanese

ance to the interest of Japan. The necessi-
ty for a regularly appointed consul was
pressed SO urgently last spring upon the
