II May Exclude From Interstate
Traffic Any Commodity Which is
PrejudiciaI to the Public VEL
fare.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The decision
in the lottery cases has occasioned
considerable comment in Washington.
Members Of the administration assert
that the majority of the court has
fully sustained the contention that
the Sherman antitrust law did not ex-
haust the constitutional power Of the
federal government over commerce.
This view is shared by men who are
prominent in the administration.
One said today:
'.The Champion decision clearly
sustained the contention Of the govern
mens. No important proposition in
the governments brief was rejected.
The plenary and absolute power Of
co.gress to prohibit any form of traffic
when it deems that traffic hostile to
the public interests, is clearly sustain
ed.
ssIt must be remembered in this
connection that prior to the presi
dents speech last summer many
thoughtful men were Of the opinion
that the Sherman antitrust law mark
ed the limit of the federal power with
reference to unlawful combinations.
The president in his speeches chal-
lenged this contention, and this
thought was further impressed upon
the public mind by the attorney gen
erals Pittsburg address in which he
insisted, contrary to the opinion of
many, that the supreme court did not
decide in the sugar trust suit that
congress was powerless to directly reg
ulate the participation of unlawful
combinations in interstate traffic. The
facts in the lottery cases did not re-
quire Justice Harlan to express any
opinoin directly on this question, but
the trend Of his reasoning clearly in
dicates that congress may exclude
from interstate traffic any commodity
deemed by it as prejudicial to the
public welfare, and that its motives
are beyond judicial inquiry. The
logical effect of this is that congress has
the absolute right to say when COM
merce in any given commodity shall
be free or prohibited and it shall fol-
low that between these extremes it can
permit such commerce upon conditions
which it may impose to conserve the
public interests, and neither the con-
ditions nor the motives that actu-
ated them can be reviewed by the judi
ciary.''

At the close of the war he received
grant of land from the government
for services. At % years of age he
was elected to the Alabama Legisla-
ture. He was a member Of the Uni
ted States Congress in 1857 and a
member of the Confederate Congress
in 1861. He wrote the address to the
Army Of Northern Virginia.
He left Congress to serve in the
field, first on General Joe Johnson's
staff, then with General Wheeler as
staff officer in the raid through Ten
nessee, and afterwards as lieutenant
colonel Of the cavlary. He also serv-
ed with his corps under General For
rest and was with him until the close
of the war.
In 1856 he was elected president of
Howard college. In 1868 be removed
to Virginia and served as professor
in the Richmond college. He was
offered the presidency of the college,
but declined.
In 1881 he was placed in charge of
the PEABODY Education fund on the
motion of General U. S. Grant. In
1889, on motion of President Hayes,
the Slater work was also turned over
to him. At that time no Southern
State had free school sytsem worthy
of the name. DR.. Curry went into
the fight for the education of the chill
dren single-handed, receiving no CO.
operation from colleges or universities
in the South. He found every Legis-
lature opposed to taxation for free
schools.
During the years of his long and
able ministry Of education he has ad-
dressed every Legislature in the
South, except the Legislatures Of
Maryland and Missouri, making in all
thirty-two addresses before Legiisla-
lures in the South. More than half Of
these addresses were published and
circulated by the States.
After twenty years of incessant labor
he sees the public school system firm
ly established in every Southern
State and generously supported by
taxation. During these years DR..
Curry has been invited to accept the
presidency of fourteen different uni
versities and colleges, many of them
offering large inducements in increase
of salary and lighter work. Having
given himself to this task nothing
could tempt him to withdraw from it
permanently.
When appointed to the<Spanish mis-
sion in 1885 the Peabody board refused
to fill his place, carrying on the work
NE had planned during this three
yea. s. absence.

STATES CLAIM AGAINST
The Government.

Gov. Hayward has received from the
comptroller of the treasury an official
adjustment and allowance of the
claims of South Carolina on account
of the war of 1872, which are being
urged by Senator Tillmn. The comp
troller of the treasury officially admits
an Indebtedness to South Carolina on
July 10Th, 1882, of the sum of s75, 760.- :
81, having revised and corrected the
settlement made by the auditor of the
war department, which allowed SIT,
02S.02 on the said date. He also COM
putes the interest," upon the Indian
trust bonds of South Carolina held by
the United States.
Senator Tillman claims that South
Carolina should be allowed the balance
due her the date of the maturity of
the Indian trust bond SAT, ,245.77, with
interest on this AMOUNT to the date Of
payment, (which would aggregate over
800, 900.
The South Carolina case is conse-
quently fully made out, and her con-
tention accepted upon all matters, ex-
cept the method Of computing the in
terest, and consequently the final re-
suit depends upon the efforts of Sena-
tor Tillman in congress to have the
state Justly dealt with. In addition to
the Indian trust bonds the comptrol-
Ter, in foot note, reminds congress
of the fact that the United States
government holds an outstanding ac-
count against South Carolina of s340,
4S9 80, for ordnance stores, clothing
and camp and garrison equippage,
taken from Fred c. Humphrey, mill
tary store keeper, by force of arms by
Colonel Cunningham Of the Nineteenth
infantry, South Carolina militia,
Dec. 30th, 1860, while acting under
the orders of the governor of South
Carolina, but this matter is not taken
into computation while other out
standing claims of South Carolina ag-
gregating with interest from one to
two million dollars, which are con-
tanned in the Black report, are not
taken into consideration, and will more
than Offset the claims of the United
States.

4 PROTEST AGAINST
MORMON senator SH00T.
Urging That Rs Be Not Permitted
10 Take His Seat.
slid THAT he is L POL YGAMIsT.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Bur
rows, chairman of the senate commit
tee on privileges anu elections, today
presented to the senate a protest signed
By Rev. j. 7. Leilich, in the case OF
Senator-eIect Smoot Of Utah, urging
that Mr.. Smoot shall not be permitted
to take his seat in the senate. Mr.. Lei
lich is in charge Of Methodist missions
in Utah and resides in Salt Lake City.
He is in Washington as the representa-
tive of the Ministers Association OF
Salt Lake. His statement is sworn to.
Mr.. Leilich declares that Smoot is a
poIygamist and now has plural wife,
although he deems it inexpedieut TO
give the maiden name Of the lady at
this time His charge on this point is
as follows:
.sThat tie said Reed Smoos is a
polygamist, and that since the admis-
sion of Utah into the Union Of States
he, although then and there having q
legal wife, married a plural wife in
the State of Utah, IN violation Of the
laws and compacts heTeinbefore de-
scribed, and since such pl1rsl or poly
pamous marriage the said Reed SmooS
has lived and cohabited with, both his
legal wife and his plural wife in the
State of Utah and elsewhere, as occas-
ion offered. and that the only record
Of such plural marriage is the secret
record made and kept by the authori-
ties of the Church Of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, which secret record
is in the exclusive custody Of the first
presidency and the quorum of the
twelve apostles OF the said church, Of
which the said Reed Smoot is one and
is beyond the control or power of the
protestants. Your protestants respect
fully asks that the senate of the United
States for it's appropriate committee
compel the first presidency and the
Quorum of the twelve apostles and the
said Reed Smoot to produce such
secret record for the consideration Of
the senate. Your protestant says that
he is advised by counsel that it is in
expedient at this time to give further
particulars concerning such plural
marriage and its results, or the place
In which it was solemnized, or the
maiden name of the plural wife. -
Mr.. Leilich also asserts that $ Presi-
dent Joseph +. Smith, the president
of the Norman church, is living in
open polygamy and has had child
born to himlby his plural wife, as late
as 1898 - -
And also that President Lorenzo
Snow lived and died in the practice of
polygamy and polgamous cohabitation,
and that his plural wife, Minnie Jen-
sen Snow, bore him child as late as
the winter of 1857

to the engine, which was running at terrific
speed and managed to start the whistle

ANTI-IMPERIALISTS.


BOSTON, March 1.-TWO meetings of
citizens were held In FaneuiI Hall to-day
Ito protest against the repression of
truth about the Philippines and praying for
further official inquiry into conditions
there"
Thomas Wentworth Higginson presided
at the first meeting. Charles S. Hamlin
said: "A great issue is before us-whether
government officers are the servants or
masters Terrible charges have been
brought against certain officers-charges of
cruelty almost unparalleled in history. A
petition has been filed signed by college
professors throughout the country asking
>for investigation. This petition has
been contemptuously ignored. Charges
were made that prisoners of war were muir
dered after the battle of Caloocan. Cen
eral Otis sent the charge to the advocates,
recommending court-martial proceedings;
the Judge advocates reply was unfavora-
BILE, and this reply has been forwarded to
the adjutant general of the army by Cen
eral Otis, with the statement that he doubt
ed the wisdom of a court-martial, and no
action has ever been taken by the War
Department. II any one, however, raises
his voice in protest he is branded as an as
sailant of the honor of the army. L have
talked with officers concerning these
charges, and / believe that the feeling is
almost unanimous that the honor of the
army demands the fullest investigation and
the prompt acquittal or condemnation of
the officers charged with crime. The action
of the present administration and the Sen
ate committee in refusing to probe these
charges to the bottom is but another mode
of expressing the belief that these charges
or crime are not few scattered cases, but
pervade the whole army"
The other speakers of the afternoon in
cluded Herbert Welsh, of Philadelphia,
who told the story of the death of Father
Augustin in the Philippines, and Lieutenant
Hall, of Colonel Funston's Kansas regi-
ment who cast discredit upon the story of
Colonel Funston's heroic action in SWIM
ming across a river under fire by saying
that to his knowledge the colonel could not
swim.
Moorfield Storey presided at the evening
meeting, at which addresses were made by
Winslow Warren, Herbert Welsh, the Rev.
Charles G.. Ames and Charles p. Goldman,
while letters of regret were read from
Archbishop Ireland, President Schurman
of Cornell University, Carl Schurz and
Albert Z. Pillsbury. Resolutions were
adopted in line with utterances of the
speakers.
