Novel Case in Court.
philadelphia Record.l

South Carolina has case in the SUI
preme court of the United States in
which she asks for release from the in
ternal revenue taxes and licenses on her
whisky dispensaries and distilleries.
The claim of South Carolina is chiefly
based on the ground that the internal
revenue laws apply only to persons and
private corporations, and that congress
could not have intended to subject a
state to taxation. Should this position
be judicially affirmed state could set
up a tobacco monopoly or any other
kind of business and claim exemption
from internal taxes as well as from
customs duties. But when a state goes
into the business selling whisky, or any
other kind of traffic, it must pay the
taxes that are levied by the federal
government on such traffic, and this
will no doubt be the decision of the
supreme court.

Murray's first visit to Dubuque was
ten years ago, when he came here to
see Bennett and Byron, noted safe
crackers, who had their headquarters
in Dubuque. The two were wanted in
Lafayette county, Wis.,: for burglary,
and when the sheriff came here to ar
rest them a desperate fight ensued and
the men escaped. Murray joined them

Dream of the wide, wide world,
What myriads have died for thee,
What countless flags unfurled!
Across those deathlesS centuries,
Wherever man has trod,
To him has come dream of hope
AS came the breath of God.
The ak blow of the pioneer,
The sailors CHANGING keel.
The burning words of eloquence,
The soldiers front of steel;
New armies march, new nations rise,
New banners CLINT and CLEAN:
The very worlds revolye in space
And answer to dream.
That star the watchful shepherds saw
Has never yet grown dim:
Each age has heard the angels sing
Their joyous Advent hymn,
And ever the fateful morrow
Has dawned in hope and cheer,
Born with each lisping birth cry,
Part Of each farewell tear.
And this Is the one, one heritage
That holds us in it's grasp,
The warm fingers of the present
In the hand clasp of the past.
The races halt In wonder
Where their old time fathers trod,
And one and all the sons of men
In hoping face their God.
