Opinion in the Oil License Case.

The decision Of the supreme court OF
New Mexico in the habeas corpus case
of B. G. Wilson, agent in this territory
for the Continental Oil Company, pub
lished to-day, will be read with interest
generally by attorneys and by the peo-
pie. The history of the case and the OBJ
jects of the legislative act under which
prosecution was begun are so clearly
stated in the syllabus, statement OF
facts, and opinion of the court that nc
enlargement is needed for the under.
standing of newspaper readers. The
law is not i'm this opinion passed upor
except as to the portion under which
this defendant vas being prosecuted
and therefore stands, so far as it taxes
local dealers and wholesalers. but is de-
clared null and void so far as requiring
importers of original packages to pay q
license tax Of $500. The supreme court
has not passed upon the act with refer
nee to the powers of the commerce
commission.

The Latest Kentucky TRAGEDY.

There was no excuse for the crime
which has just disgraced the state OF
Kentucky, and the mailman or villain
should be made to pay the penalty
which was exacted of the slayer OF
President Garfield, If the victim in this
case dies. 1t should not by any one be
urged that because Senator Goebel had
himself slain a man and threatened vio-
lence to those who opposed his designs
he should have been shot. The Repub-
leans Of the state will regret that po-
litical significance will be attached to
the crime, although among the most
bitter enemies of the Democratic candi-
date for governor are Democrats. and
the MAI charged with the crime alleged
that he was a member of the party. The
tension has been great in Kentucky, and
the mind of the public has been wrought
up YER the desire OF the Democratic
candidate to overthrow the expressed
wish Of the majority and obtain by
partisan methods in the legislature a
position to which he was not elected. It
was to be expected that some vicious
and lily balanced person would conclude
that he was doing a creditable act in
removing the chief inspiration Of the
contest. The American people will not
condemn the act less because their
opinion of the victim Of the assassin's
bullet was not Of the highest character.
The political partisan who defeats an
enemy by the use Of the bullet should
not be a product of America, and the
methods Of t~reacherous people Of the
tropics should in no instance be prac-
ticed in this country.

Mexico May Have More Trouble.

If a half dozen Americans were killed
while fighting with the Yaquis against
the troops Of Mexico, then this country
can have no cause for grievance. But
if General Torres had Americans shot
while they We're not in conflict, then
the Mexican government will have a
harder thing to do to satisfy Uncle Sam
for the outrage than fighting the va
quis, provided the facts can be ascer-
tanned. But there is little probability
that a regular army officer of the Mex
lean government was foolish enough to
hav Americans shot, even if he took
them as prisoners while they were
fighting with the Indians. Men who
join hostiles in fighting another coun-
try absolve their own government from
protecting them or making any de-
mands for injuries they receive. But no
civilized government would fail to de-
mand satisfaction if such men were shot
while prisoners, just upon arbitrary Or
ders of a military commander.

The cannon of the English and the
artillery of the Beers have been used
freely in the present campaign, but APP
parently have done little damage. 1t
has been the rain of rifle bullets that
has moved down soldiers. AS the Beers
are the best shots, and generally have
been we'll protected, while the English
have been compelled to advance under
direct fire whenever they sought to dis
lodge the enemy, the English have suf-
fered most. Cannon are not pleasant
things to fool with, but, like thunder,
they are more terrifying than destruct-
i've to human life.

General Butler is in trouble. His force
is twenty-five miles from his base of
supplies, and he thinks it will take sew
eral days to reach them, because he has
SO much baggage and such heavy wag-
ons, while the Beers, who are closer,
can carry equipment on their horses.
General Butler might make better time
If he abandoned the bathtubs which the
officers insist upon having transported
around, SO that they may wash the dust
OF South Africa from themselves. Bath
tubs are all right and pretty good things
to have, but somewhat unwieldy just
now to carry around. The frequency
with which Buffers forces are crossing
rivers to keep away from the Beers
should make tubs unnecessary.

Correspondents at Washington for
conservative journals intimate that
there is a possibility of an early hint
from Great Britain that If President
Mckinley should be willing to offer his
services for mediation with the Trans
vaa1, Great Britain would not refuse to
accept such an arrangement. But there
10 no evidence in the queens speech
Of any Idea of quitting the conflict until
the T%ransvaal is conquered. OF course
the president will make no offer to off,
cfate unless there be first a private or
public suggestion from some one au-
thorfzed to speak for Great Britain. The
Transvaal already has a representative
in Washington seeking to have this
government intercede to put an end to
the war. While he has not been official
" recognized, his mission Is we'll under

Kentucky and New Mexico.

New Mexico has sometimes been ac-
cused Of bad things, but has never yet
by the most ignorant and prejudiced
people of the east been suspected of
doing anything so wicked and vicious in
matters political as is done in Ken
lucky, where mem of low and high de-
gree shoot each other from ambush out
Of mere political hatred, and where
troops have to rally at the capital to
preserve the peace while a Legislature
- in session. The turmoil into which
that state is plunged is because Of the
unwillingness of political aspirants and
gkhear followers to submit to the results
Of elections when they are in favor Of
Republicans. Notwithstanding the con-
dftions existing In Kentucky, It 10 likely
that were the Republican proposition to

ton of the constitution. Tt Is to be fur
Their observed that none of the excep-
tions, such as the right of inspection,
the right to regulate sale I'M a particu-
lar way, as by auctioneers, peddlers or
hawkers, or the right to regulate sales
of Intoxicating liquors under the "Wil-
son act" (26 stat, 213), or the right to
are conceded to the states, intervene in
this case to modify the principles an
nounced above. 1t appears, however,
that some portion Of the business of the
petitioner consists Of the sale OF coal
oil in the territory after the original
packages in which the same lie put up
for sale have been broken, and as to
this portion of his business he or his
company might be properly taxed. But
section 2 Of the act cannot be inter
preted or construed to apply to such
business. The act provides in section
s for a license of $25 from all persons
whose sales amount Ito $4,000 per annum,
and who are termed Wholesale dealers,
and a fee of 81 from all other persons
who are termed RETAIL dealers. 1t may be
that the petitioner is subject to the
payment OF the wholesale or retail deal
er's tax as prescribed by the act, but as
to this, It lie unnecessary to express any
opinion. It is clear, however, that the
license tax of $500 applies TO some char
acter of business other and different
from that Of a wholesale or retail dealer
in coal oil. There being NO method fur
nished by section 2 OF the act whereby
the tax of $500 can be apportfoned be-

enough to know that the stout woman
is as much TO be considered as the
