Next Brewers Convention.

Next brewers NOuFbubAOns
At their meeting held in Detroit on
the 9Th OF June, 1899, the Trustees des-
iRnated New Orleans as the place, and
the sth. 9th and 9TH days OF April, 1900,
as the time for holding the 4oth annual
convention. Afterwards Mr.. Kicks, OF
New Orleans. suggested the 24th, 7Sth
and 26th OF April.
Since then very many members have
protested ae ainst this selection, Tor the
reasons that in the month OF April very
few. If any, brewers oil the Eastern and
Middle States can leave their places Of
business, and the attendance at the
convention would the. eioTe be very
meagre. Again, the climate forbids the
holding OF the convention at New
Orleans during a summer month, and in
the lall oil the year the fear OF yellow
lever usually leacs to quarantine regu'
Iations which preclude the possibility OF
holding a meeting there.
And yet again there is the further
consideration that the tax question is OF
the utmost importance to all concerned
and should again be ventilated IN such
a way as to attract public attention.
This cannot be accomplished, in the
opinion Of the Trustees, except by a
convention numerously attended by
representative men OF the trade from all
oarts OF the country, or held m a region
where the industry is strongly represen
ted. From either point Of view New
Orleans would not answer the purpose
The Trustees therefore rescinded their
resolution, and would nov urgently
request brewers to answer the following
question, VIZ:
shall the 4oth convention be held al
New Orleans, La, in the month OF April

Schock OF New York submitted the
model OF an improved barrel washing

Rebate cases under the DIngIey Act

Rebate Eases under the DIngley Act'
The claims of brewers fo7 rebate
arising under the DIngley Act have been
sustained by a decision recently rem.
dered in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District Of New
York. Concerning further proceedings
IN these matters, Mr. W. c. Wells, the
attorney for the Association, writes as
follows:
The usual procedure is, where one
action at law has been tried and lost by
the Government and there are other
cases involving the same questions in
court or impending. for the Attorney
General to submit an opinion to the
Department IN which the cases have
originated (here the Treasury stating
the fact that the case has been lost and
thereby a precedent established upon
which the remaining cases should be
settled. This is always followed. But
first it is necessary TOR the Attorney
Gen raj to be convinced that the case
is beyond question lost, and there is no
hope for another court to reverse the
decision or principle. l shall endeayor
to induce the Attorney General to act
as speedily as possible and will then
report to the members terested

A decision made by Judge Mitchell,
OF Auburn, Me-, is to be held by the
liquor dealers of l. wiston in bringing
suit against the State for many thousands
of dollars One retailer has begun
proceedings to recover Sc, 900 Tor liquor
Consigned 20 him, but Sc lied udder the
prohibition laws while in possession OF
a railroad company. Judge Mitchell
rules that such seizures are in violation
of the Interstate Commerce law. New
York lawyers are making inquiries,
presumably in behalf OF wholesale ers in
that city
The ruling has upset official practices
which have been in vogue tor years. and
will completely change the methods of
liquor law violators Professional
smugglers who transport from stations
to saloons will be out of employ ment,
because most goods will come by the
express and be delivered by drivers
without fear Of molestation
Sheriff Huskins, who has two special
liquor deputies constantly at work
seizing, says express team drivers. if so
requested by liquor dealers, may call
with goods and go away without deliv.
ering ii officers are about, thus keeping
them in the safe hands Of the express
companies
The ruling does more to nulify the
prohibitorV amendment than anything
else in its history.

dealers in general merchandise,
have put their business in the hands of

business twelve years, and has had a
large trade, as it has always been a
popular store. Much sympathy is ex-

them to get on their feet again.

treasury for support, without further
Gripping them by the passage of a
measure that will direct any portion of
the money from its legitimate channel.
The state has one subsidy on its hands
now that gives promise o.. consuming a
large amount of state funds before it
gets through with it. We have reference
to the sugar bounty. When this bill
was first passed it was believed to be in
the interest of the agricultural portion
of the state in particular In fact that
belief was the inspiration that guided
most members of the legislature in sup
port of the bill. 1t is now the general
belief that the money paid out of the
state treasury benefits the corporation
that owns the factory an hundred fold
more than it does the farmer. If a
bounty was to have been given at all, it
should have been given direct to the
farmers "a fixed amount per and
not, as now, to the manufacturers, The
way matters stand now on the sugar
beet question the factory has the long
string at both ends with the farmer
standing in the middle as jumping
jack to the operators. In the first place
the farmer pays a large percentage of
the bounty that goes to the factory,
and accepts for his beets whatever
the factory may be pleased to pay,
less the dockage. And this question
of dockage is, with many of our farm
ers, at least. the discouraging side of
beet raising. Many complaints have
come to the Free Press since last fall of
the excess dockage taken from thei r
products Whether these complaints
are in every instance we'll
FOUNDED or not we cannot VOucn,
but it would seem to demand attention
at the hands of our law makers. If the
state is to pay bounty on sugar manu-
featured here, it should have the right,
and should exercise that prerogat1ve, to
establish some supervisory measure over
the weighing and dockage department
of the mandatory the same as it does
over wheat, and let the factory bear the
expense Something of this kind
might remove the complaint and guar
antee justice to the producer.
1t will be the better part of wisdom,
it seems to us, for the present legisla.
ture to ''pass up" this proposed bill pro-
viding for bounty on iron smelted
within the state at least until some
sort of an expression can be had from
those who pay the freight.
