Who Got the Beer?

GRAND FORKS, July 1l.-Compara-
lively little has been heard from the
State Enforcement League of late. but
that body has by no means been idle.
Along in the winter proceeding were
brought to compel the closing of the
Great Northern depot at Hillsboro be-
cause of the practice, to which refer
ence has frequently been made, of
shipping to fcticious persons pack
ages of liquor G.. o. d., which pack
ages were delivered to anyone who
would sign the receipt for the same and
pay the charges thereon. This matter
came before Judge Pollock at the re-
cent term of court at Hillsboro, and
the league has scored q signal victory.
The case was not formally decided in
court, but the express company,
against which complaint was made,
admitted that the practice was improp-
er, and has since notified all its agents
in North Dakota that it must be ;dis-
continued. Hereafter no packages of
liquor will be shipped G. o. d. to ad-
dresses known to be ficticiOus, and
agents are instructed not to deliver
such goods sent G.. o. D. to any persons
not known to them to be the persons
whose names appear on the way bill.
If strangers call for the packages they
must be identified. This order will
terminate practice which has practi.
cally made every inland express Office
in the state sales depot for the sale
of liquors.
The league having won this point, it
will now take step to have another
feature Of the law tested. It's next
move will be an attempt to have the
shipment c. o. D. the liquors even to
actual persons declared illegal. This
question has never yet been tested,
and the issue is problematical. Under
the interstate commerce law the ship
ment of liquor in original packages
has long been accepted as legal, even

II such shipments are into states
where the sale of liquor is prohibited.
The decisions bearing on this point
are not to be attacked, but the ques-
tion is to be raised as to where the
sale of a G. o. D. package occurs.
The Enforcement League will claim
that the sale of q C o. D. package
takes place at the point where its de-
livery to the purchaser occurs. The
claim is made that the transportation
company in such cases acts not only
as q common carrier, but also as the
vendors agent and that the goods,
until the actual transfer is made, are
virtually in the vendors possession.
In order to furnish the basis for a
case, an agent of the league a few
days ago had two kegs of beer shipped
G. o. D. to him at Hillsboro. Upon
their arrival he paid the charges on
them and took them away. If the eff
fort to have this and similar trans
actions declared illegal succeeds. no
way will remain to ship liquor into
the state except on orders accompanied
by cash, as it has besn decided that
bills for liquors shipped in cannot be
collected.
The above article taken from the
Fargo Forum, gives you an idea OF
what is coming. 1t is only matter
OF very short time wheu every rall-
road agent in this state will be en-
joined from handling c. 0. D. pack
ages and packages billed to fictici-
Gus personages. The people Of this
state are getting tired of this whole
aale saloon business and a stop will
soon be made to it.

HELENA, N. D., July 12, 90.

EDITOR COURIER:
do not wish to enter into any
newspaper controversy, but in last
weeks issue your correspondent from
Hannaford, in explaining the trouble
concerning the schoolhouse affair
seems to wish to convey the idea to
the public that Mr.. Knapp received
official permission from the school,
board to go into the schoolhouse to
live, Notwithstanding the testimony
of directors to the contrary, and
quotes myself and Miss Eimon to
that effect. Now, no one denies that
Mr.. Knapp got permission to live in
the schoolhouse not only from direct
ors, but from most of the
tax payers but the correspondent we'll
knows the judge refused to allcw that
question to be answered direct, but
did ask of witness If he, the defend
ant, had received "oficial permis-
sion" to live in said schoolhouse,
which he had NOT, and witness so
testified and would do so again if op-
portunity was given him. I
have no objections to the truth being
told, but would prefer to have it all
told because there are times when half
the truth is as bad as no truth at all,
SO that after this when l am quoted
in newspaper, / should be pleased
to be quoted correctly in what I say.
Yours Respectfully,
]. S. BYINcToN.

CHINESE SLAVE TRADE.
Large Number of Celestials Sold to

Large Number of Celestials Sold to
Planters In Mexico.
Vancouver, B. c., Jan. IA story of
alleged Chinese slavery has come to
light here since the arrival of the
steamship Empress of Japan from the
! Orient. She brought from Hongkong
406 Chinese, of whom 191 were reported
to be destined for TanDico, Mexico, to
work on plantations. They were under
the care OF q Chinaman named Ma
Chop, who stated that thirteen hundred
.c2o-e are TO follow.
While herding the Chinese from the
dock to a special train, a stampede en-
sued. In their frenzy a number rushed
towards the edge of the dock. They
would have fallen into the bay had II
not been for a police officer, who
stopped the mad rush by knocking a
score of them down. When they were
finally rounded up it was found that
eight were missing. After several minor
stampedes. the Chinese were persuaded
to get on the train.
The cause OF the frenzy and stampede
was the arrival of a Chinaman from
San Francisco, who told them they had
been sold as slaves by Hongkeng men,
and that they would never go back to
China. Local Chinese here are help
ing the men still in hiding in every pos
sibie way. as all are convinced that
they and the remainder of the 1900 to
follow are being sold into slavery. They
are going to send word to the Chinese
government about it.

as an American if l did not declare my
confidence in the patriotism and purity
Of purpose of William Mckinley. He is
no usurper of power, no stranger to
American institutions, but one of the
American people, called to his high
Office by their suffrag ges, and it would
be strange indeed if he did not share to
the fullest extent in the love of our
constitution and the principles that un-
deriie it. What less than this can be
truthfully said of an American preSi-
dent? 1t would be the beginning of
the end to our great career as a na-
ton
But the solutions of the problems
which confront US is not with the pres
ident. When the treaty is ratified no
policy can be adopted without the sane
ton of congress. And the whole Ameri-
can people viii determine, through their
representatives, what relations we shall
sustain to the Philippines. Shall we
hold the sovereignty in trust for their
people, as we viii do in Cuba, or shall
we, with their consent, establish a pro-
tectorate over them, or govern them as
We viii the island of Puerto Rico? All
the questions will properly come up for
determination after the ratification OF
the treaty I will not entertain the fear
that the American people will not stand
by the principles of the constitution and
the declaration; that they will not curb
the ambition of territorial aggrandiZe-
iment and exhibit to the world an exam
pie of moderation, justice and self re-
straint that viii be worth to US in moral
strength more than all the islands of
the seas
