The south Carolina Liquor Law.

In the United States Supreme
Court last Monday the South Car
olina liquor law was again made
the subject Of a decision, which
was handed down by Justice
White. The State dispensary law
having been amended since the
recent decisions holding it invalid,
Mondays decision deals with the
new law. This law attempted to
eliminate the feature OF the old law
discriminating against other States
in the shipment of liquor to lndi
viduals for their own use in South
Carolina, but while this Inhibition
was eliminated and the privilege
restored in the new law, it was
coupled with conditions of inspec-
ton which, it was claimed, still
amounted to discrimination.
The court in the decision accep-
ted this view OF the case. holding
that the inspection provision Of the
law was tantamOunt to a denial Of
the right Of interstate commerce
and therefore antagonistic to the
Constitution of the United States.
The court held, however, that the
portion Of the law regulating the
sale Of original packages within
the State was valid. The decision
was rendered in the case OF Vance
and Scott VS.. the Vsndercook Co.
Of California. The decision in the
United States Circuit Court for
South Carolina was in favor OF the
California company. The opinion
rendered mad the effect of affirming
this opinion in part and reversing
ii in part, and the case was re-
manded with instructions to pro-
ceed accordingly.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices
Shiras and McKenna dissented as
to the portion OF the opinion re-
versing any part oi the decision of
the lower court below. They took
the position that the law in its en-
tirety is in violation OF the Consii-
tuition and that the opinion antag-
onistic to it should be sustained.
The court reversed the opinion
OF the Circuit Court for South Car
olina in the case dealing with the

Our ArIstOcratic EmIgres.

During the Franco German war
when France was in need Of every
one OF her sons in order to defend
her soil against the invader. there
were certain number OF French
men who had previously figured
as social stars in the Partisan
salons, and who chose that partic-
ular time to take up their resi-
dence abroad in Spanish, Swiss,
Italian and English fashionable
resorts precisely in the same man
ner as the aristocrati- Emigres,
who deserted King Louis and
Queen Marie Antoinette at the
close of the last century seeking
refuge in foreign climes.
And there they remained
until the war was over, assail-
ing with reproaches those Of their
countrymen whom they con-
demned as responsible for bring
ing about the war, and criticising
the military acts OF those who had
remained at home to fight.
There is something very much
OF the same kind going on with
the large American colony in Eu-
rope, and in London society in
particular the attitude OF many Of
the members in loudly deploring
the conduct OF their country EN-
in forcing a quarrel on Spain, has
excited not only considerable
astonishment, but likewise dis
gust.
Indeed, several OF the London
papers comment on this behavior
OF the American colonv on the
banks OF the Thames, and of the
Seine. and sarcastically lnhmates
that the attitude OF these unpatri-
otic sons and daughters OF Uncle
Sam is in keeping with the recent
letter of ex-Minister Phelps.
Patriots m has never been con-
siclered bad form even by the most
frivolous and worldly people in the
old world. But absence OF patriot
ism is accounted not merely bad
form but almost a crime, and to
this day those who absented
themselves from France in 1870 to
avoid the war are still cold. .shoul-
dered by French society, no mat
ter what their birth or ancestry.

So Much the Worse for the Facts

So Much the Worse for the Facts.
The Saturday ReVie9V Of London
does not let any little obstacle like
facts interfere with its assertions.
"At Manila" it says, "the Spanish
ships were all wooden, and mostly
about one-fifth OF the size OF their
opponents" The actual fact is
that, Of the ships beaten and des-
troyed, the Reina Christina was
steel; the Don Antonia de Ulloa,
iron; the Isla de Luzon, steel; the
Isla de Cuba, steel; the General
Lezo, iron; the Marques del
Duero. iron; FL Cano, iron; the
Velasco, iron; the Don Juan de
Austria, iron. In short, of the
ships in line Of battle, instead of
"all" being wooden, only one was
wooden, the Castillo.
The Saturday RevfezV is equally
veracious when it says that the
Spanish ships were mostly about
one-6lth the size Of their oppon-
ents." The largest vessels in the
fight were our Oily mpia and Balti-
more; but the two next were Span
iards, namely, the Reina Christina
and Castillo. The displacements
Of our vessels, excluding the reve-
&c cutter McCulloch, which did
orm part Of the line, were as

Cuba and Porto Rico.

Will the loss OF these two islands
to Spain end the WARP If common
sense guided the actions Of the
Spanish Ministry il would, but
political considerations and that
enigmatical Spanish pride, (which
seems TO thrive on Teverses, may
compel 1 continuance or the con-
flict. In such event the Canaries
will serve as the first halting place
on the American march TO Madrid.
1t is necessary for the future
safety of our Republic that this
war should be as decisive as It
seems now to be one sided. II the
tactics Of Spain make it necessary
tor our ships to 60 to Spanish
waters to meet the enemy, thither
they will go. For the glory OF in
vading Spain we as a nation have
no ambition. American soldiers
have never campaigned on the
other side of the Atlantic, and to-
day there is no desire to mingle
the sound OF our drums and trum-
pets in the European concert. But
if Spain retires to her stronghold
and sulks there we will attack her
until she sues for peace.
The way is now open to Cuba
and Porto Rico without other op-
position than the land for=es in
those islands may offer. There is
every reason to anticipate that
when next we hear from Admiral
SIMPSONS feet it will be news that
the American flag is raised over
Porto Rico, and the vigorous prep
arations now being urged forward
by the authorities at Washington
leave no doubt that a Judgement
will be effected in Cuba early in
the week.

ton the Isla de Mindanao, 4,I0s
tons, was destroyed. but she was
only an armed transport. Leaving
her out, we have a total dlsplace-
ment of 1896 against our Io.ooS.
This does not look much like FIVE
to one.
We could not expect the Satuy-
day REV5egO to observe that the
Spaniards had their shore forts to
aid their ships, or that they were
in familiar harbor and our men
in foreign waters. We could not
expect it to see that splendid sea
manship and splendid marksman
ship were factors no less potent in
the victory than the displacement
armament. But why should it call
the Spanish ships ali wooden and

Possible Work for Our Ships

Admiral Dewey's asss rtion that
he holds Manila under his guns,
and can reduce it whenever he
chooses, has properly stimulated
the Government 20 prepare force
Of troops for occupying the P. ilip-
pines. Practically the taking Of
Manila will carry with it the con
troll OF the whole group OF islands;
yet so vast is their extent that the
Spaniards might make a show Of
resistance elsewhere even after
losing Manila. There are, in fact,
other points in the islands garri-
soned by Spain, notable among
them being Iloilo, in Panav. But
all these places can be reduced by
even small part Of the fleet, and
their troops, if wise, would surren-
der without fight.
Spain's loss OF the Antilles and
the Philippines ought to bring
forthwith an end OF the war, but
should she make a pretence OF con.
tinuing it she would have still more
to lose. In the Pacific she has the
Caroline Islands, a widely scat
tered archipelago, where We used
to have missionary station at
Ponape until few years ago, when
Spain made it so uncomfortable
for the missionaries that one OF our
warshIps took them away. Asso-
ciated with these are the Pelew
Islands. More important are the
Padrones, or Mariana Islands,
which are very fertile, while on
Guam the principal island is the
town of San lgnacio de Agana,
which is worthy OF our considera-
ton as naval station. These ISL
ands, north Of the Carolines and on
the route from Honolulu to the
Philippines, might become impor-
tant to us,
1t is clear, at all events. that
Admiral Dewey will find work to
do in the Pacific, even il Spain
should not accept the occupation
Of Manila and Havana as the end
Of the war. In the Atlantic we
should find a point Of interest in
the Canaries. Fernando Po, fur
ther south, is beautiful island,
occupied as a penal settlement,
which would probably not concern
us. 1t is rather significant, how
ever, to hear that Spain is busily
defending Port Mahon, in the Bale
aric Islands, as il she feared that
even the Mediterranean might not
escape the attention Of our fleets.

Discredited Regiments.

iments have brought discredit upon
themselves by their action with ref
erence to volunteering.
The Seventh quite unanimously
resolved not to offer their services
to their country. They were in the
field tor ninety days during the
civil war, and they do not care to
repeat that experience, bret and
uneventiul as il was. II is said the
great majority OF the men of the
regiment were willing to volunteer,
but that the influence oftheir col
onel and other officers prevented
them. They therefore took the
ground that if they went into the
service at this time there was dam
Ger that the regiment would be dis
integrated-that the companies
might be separated, new officers
put over them, &c.
The improbability OF anything
Of that sort being done occurred to
nearly everybC dy else in New York
but them. And the result is that
the Seventh will never again hold
the warm place it has long held in
popular affection.
tits conceded that there are men
in the regiment upon whom alb.
sence from home at this time would
impose great hardships, but there
can be no doubt that if these had
stepped out Of the way plenty Of
other men would have come for
ward to fill their places.
The situation OF the Thirteenth
Regiment is even worse than that
Of the Seventh. II actually went
into camp and was confidently
counted upon by the State author
tiles; but when the time neared
when it was to be mustered in, it
"renigged" and retired amid the
boots and ieers of all the other
soldiers.
The defence set up by the COL
onel Of the Thirteenth is much the
same as that OF the Seventh; but.
unfortunately for the former. it got
deeper in the mud than the latter.
The result is that the Governor has
issued an order disbandlng the
Thirteenth regiment. And he is
right. Officers and men who do
not know their own minds better
than those of the Thirteenth do
ought not be trusted with firearms.
Happily Tor the State OF New YORK
it has plenty Of regiments willing
to help her make up her quota.
and so another regiment will at
once take the place Of the disgrun-
tied, disbanded and disgraced
Thirteenth.
1t was never expected that all Of
the officers and men in all the
companies and regiments would
volunteer for the present service,
but the public was justified in
hoping that those who could not,
or would not, go to the war would
not make themselves stumbling
blocks IN the way OF others who
were inclined to volunteer.

"DAddyIsm" In War.

There have been already ap-
pointed or slated for prompt ap-
pointment to Offices Of high rank in
the army sons of Senators Elkins,
Gray and Fairbanks and a nephew
oil Senator AlliIon, and sons of
Representatives Hill and Hit, Sec
retarY Alger anc the late Secretary
Blaine.
1t is known to Mr.. Mckinley
that none OF these sons oil distin-
guished sires has been educated or
trained IN the duties oil the Offices
to which he has appointed them
and that therefore their duties will
not be properly performed. AS a
consequence many soldiers are
liable to sufer-possibly to die
from this form Of political favorit-
ism.
Perhaps Mr.. Mckinley hoped by
such appointments to improve the

made.

HER MhJRsTY's PROCLAIM ALTON OF
NEUTRALITY.
zfNeS--London, April a..

The proclamation differs from ITS
predecessors only in making il more
clear than before that these obligations
are imposed upon all Her Majesty's
subjects in the colonies and dependen.
cies Of the Empire. as we'll as upon the
people Of these isIancs S; and IN applying
the practical rules Of administration to
vessels belonging to the belIigerents
which may happen to be in our ports al
the date OF the proclamation as well as
to those which may enter them after ats
issue. To that extent the proclamation
may be regarded as more stringent than
its predecessors, and to that extent may
be held. if anybody so pleases, to set
forth policy peculiar to the present
Government. Another difference which
may be noted is that the present procIa.
nation recites for the first time the rules
appended to the Treaty OF Washington,
which are. however, IN substantial
agreement with the Foreign Enlistment
Act itself. The proclamation
makes no attempt to define contraband
ot war, and, in particular, adds nothing
to the elucidation of the question
whether coal is contrabsnd. which now
exc:tes a good deal of interest, The
Government has decided, wisely in our
opinion, to confine itself to ground GOV.
cred by precedents, and to definition OF
the duties Enthusiastically imposed upon
British subjects by statute. For all that
lies outside that area British subjects
must depend upon the less certain guild.
