Judge Mitchell of the Auburn mu-
nioipal court, feels very positive that his
decision that liquors may not be seized
from railroad cars or depots Is right.
The opinion is that into xicatng liquors
cannot be troubled by the officers of the
law until they are actually delivered to
the oonsignees. In the past 1t has been
customary to seize the liquors wher-
ever and whenever found. Whole oar
load lots have teen taken without any
one putting In. a claim for the return Of
the liquors. But Judge Mitchell says
that In such cases there Is no uther way
but to return the liquor according tc
the provisions OF the interstate commerce
law. The express companies cHn hands,
1t anywhere they sse lit, on the railroad
or of. Nobody can tou oh It, The ex-
press companies have had the right to
haul liquors through the streets for
years. They can haul four-horse load
thu ough the streets at noon on any day
in the wsek and no one can tronble them.
Of course this opinion appliss only to
liquors shipped from places outside the
state. 1t Is probable, hossyer, that in
some way this ques ion will be brought
before the Suprsms Court for deci sion
before 1t is allowed to rest.

They. the Filipinos, complained OF the
ownership of the land by the big religious
orders, and Of the corruption OF Justice
from the Highest 30 the lowest places In
the land. Lately, they complained Of the
riotous debaucnery OF the members of
the religious orders Now the Filipinos
who are IN rebellion seek revenge on the
priests, and they also seek the confisca-
tion to the stats of the property which
the religions orders possessed They CON-
tisoatsd much Of this properly. In stirs-
Ing up hostility to the United States the
Tagalos leaders have arguef to tie COM
mon people that the United states would
protect this property and leave it In con-
troll Of the priests, which, indeed, this
country Is bound TO do by the treaty Of

Archbishop of Manila and the Spanish

than Spanish rule. "The Archbishop Of

of civilization in his neighhorhood has

sisting of four Caiifornisns and two

Secretary McKeen. of the Maine
Board of Agriculture, gives some COOL
reasons for HIS belief that large cattle
ranches In Maine will never be profitable.
To manage large herds proftably. there
must be cheap shelter and cheap food in
winter. The freszlng TO death of a few
hundreds Of half-staryei cattle is I'M
noticed on the plains OF the West; but in
Maine 1t would very quickly bring prose-
cution under our laws for the protsotion
of animals. Mr.. McKesn also thinks
there is some exaggeration about the de-
cline In farm values In this State. Ha
says that the moment man tries to buy
a desirable farm he finds the price does
not correspond to the farmers grumb-
lings.

says that there Is considerable di ssatls-

the next legislature will have to take it
