Selling Cigarettes.

A State law is constitutional which
forbids the sale, or giving away of
cigarettes.
The Supreme court Of the United
States has so decided.
The lawn question was thato Ten
nessee, which made it a misdemeanor
punishable by a fine of not less than
$50, 'for any person, firm or corpor-
alton to sell, offer to sell, or to bring
iD the State for the purpose of selling,
giving away or otherwise disposing
of any cigarettes, cigarette paper or
substitute for the same"
The Tennessee Supreme court
thought that cigarettes were not
legitimate articles of commerce, con
account of their noxious and hurtfuI
character" This was declared bad
law by the United States court. JUS
tice Brown, who wrote the opinion of
the majority-give ear, now, We users
of tobacco !-said that probably no
other weed has contributed so much
to the comfort and solace of the hu-
man race. OF course, then, tobacco
was an article ofcommerce. But the
right of the State to prohibit the sale
of tobacco in the form of cigarettes
vas affirmed. 1t was not All infringe.
ment of the exclusive power of Con-
gress to regulate commerce betweeR
the States. The States cannot pre-
vent the bringing of any legitimate
article of commerce into their pre-.
cinct in Original packages" But it
is now held that as soon as an origi-
nal package of cigarettes is opened
and the smaller packages are taken
out, they, not being original packages
are amenable to the State laws.
The Supreme court judges who con.
Cured in this decision were Justices
Brown, Harlan, Gray, White and Nc
Kenna-5. The dissenting ones were
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices
Shiras, Brewer and Peckham-4.-

The Presidents Turkey,

The Westerly turkey king has pick
ed out the turkey which it is respected
will grace President McKinley's table
at the White House on Thanksgiving
day, says a Providence dispatch to
to the New York Sun. The turkey is
a magnificent looking gobbler aud is
now strutting around showing its
pride in it's 80 pounds of superiority.
The bird was selected after a careful
inspection of every flock in the neigh
borhood of Westerly and North Ston-
ington.
The fame of the town of Westerly
rests upon the fact thatfor years and
years it has furnished the turkeys for
the Thanksgiving day dinners of
Presidents of the United States. The
late Senator Anthony of Rhode ISL
and first established the custom of
sending a Rhode Island turkey to the
Presidentfor Thanksgivingconsunp-
ton, and he kept up the practice un-
til his death. Then Nathan F. Dix
on, a close friend of Senator Anthony,
took up the work, and after his death
the dealer through whom the turkeys
had been ordered continued the GUS
tom in his own name.

The Montpelier Journal evidently
doesn't take very kindly to the ap-
.pointment of Judge Ross as Chair
man of the railroad commission.
Listen to what it says
1t is something of a drop from the
chief judgeship and the Senate of the
United States to the Craftsmanship of
a nerveless and homeless, toothless
and clawless railway commission.
The Legislature should give dignity
and consequence to the Office by put
ting into the commission some of the
commonest attributes of life and
strength, of offense and defense.
Then the appointment of an ex.chief
judge and ar ex-senator to its head
ship may become an act of honor and
significance, as well as of benefit to
the State.
We are somewhat surprised our
selves at this selection because here
tofore, with an occasional exception,
the board has been made up of poll
ticians who have done good work for
somebody and in this way received
their pay. Gov. Stickney cannot be
accused of paying any political debts
in this direction. The board is a
good one and if there is any virtue in
the office it will be brought out by
them.

The Wisconsin deer hunting season
has just closed with a record of u
men killed and II men hurt. And
the season only lasted 20 days at
that. These hunting accidents seem
to grow more numerous every year,
and unless there is soon a change for
the better it may be necessary to put
a stop to the sport altogether. Ger
tainly such a sacrifice to life is too
high a price to pay for the fun which

sure. The Senator from Lamoille

Senator Clement said lis it a
a crime to drink Intoxicating liquor
as a beverage? He said not. The
law was passed by a trick; it has
been clothed in iniquity ever since.
The speaker then gave a history of
the passage of the present law which
he called trickery and dishonesty and
that same thing has followed it ever

ried by a majority of some 100

clothes the justice court with too

intoxication the justice may keep him
in Jail until he makes a disclosure to
satisfy the justice. A man is then
fined on the testimony of a man who
may have committed perjury, AS
long as the justice is satisfied and
gets his fees it is all right. The en-

BIG SHIP, SMALL SPACE.

The departure of the transport
Meade yesterday at 3 o'clock in the af.
ternoon. was attended with some con.
siderable difficulty owing to her great
length and draught. Promptly at 3
o'clock orders were given to cast Off
the lines. The tug Fearless took holi
OF the big liner and after considerable
work managed to get the big mass II
iron and steel started out of the chan
ned. One who is familiar with the
harbor coupled with the fact that the
transport is 5l9 feet in length. can form
some idea of the great amount OF judy
ment necessary to prevent any mis-
haps. The letting go of the stern line
OF the transport as she was being head
ed around for the channel complicated
matters somewhat. but Captain Bro
kaw of the tug Fearless was equal to
the occasion and soon had the huge
liner out In the channel on her way to
Manila. The cutting of the big stern
line became necessity as II was fear
ed that 1t would become entangled in
the propeller blade and cause a great
delay.
At the Navy wharf where the big
transport was locked there is 80 feet
of water at low tide, and allowing three
feet of difference between low and hign
tide gave the vessel under her thirty
two feet Of water. There was consider
able speculation as to whether tho
transport could make it, particularly
with the increased tonnage of the ex-
ira one thousand tons of coal taken
on here.
