A New Liquor Law.

+ The Hepburn -Dolliver, hillnow pend
ing in Congress relative to the liquor
trade is of particular interest to South
Carolina in the effect its enactment
would have upon the restrictions Of
the dispcnsary law. The measure is
designed to remove the liquor trade
from the privileges of the interstate
commerce laws and put it's control
entirely within the power OF the lndl-
yidual States.
The bill provides that all fermented,
distilled or other Intoxicating liquors
or LIQUIDS transported into any State
or Territory for delivery, or remain
ing therein for use, consumption, SALE
or storage, shall, upon arrival within
the boundaries Of such State or Terri
tory, before and after delivery, be
subject to the operation and effect OF
the laws enacted in, the exercise or
the States police powers to the same
extent and in the same manner as
though the liquids or liquors had been
produced inside the State, and that
they shall not be exempt by reason OF
being introduced therein in original
packages or otherwise.
The bill provides, further, that all
CORPORATIONS or persons engaged IN in
terstaGe commerce shall, as to any
shipment or transportation of fer
mented, distilled, or other Intoxicating
LIQUIDS or liquors, be subject to all!
the laws and police regulations with
referenoe to liquor oT It's onlpmono oi
the State in which the place OF destl-
nation is situated, and shall not be
exempt by reason of the liquors being
introduced il the State in original
packages or otherwise.
1t is understood that there will be
an organized campaign by temperance
and religious societies throughout the
country in favor Of the bill. Already
a number nj petitions to Congress in
it's support have been received. The
bill was introduced in the House by
Mr.. Hepburn Of Iowa and in the
Senate by Mr.. Dolliver OF the same
State. II tile bill is passed and stands
the test of the courts the Importation
of LIQUOR into South Carolina in origi-
nal packages, even for Individual use,
will be unlawful, as the provisions of
the dispensary law Of the State will
become operative upon the imports
Immediately upon their crossing the
State l;cc, irrespective Of the inter-
state commerce act which now pro-
tects them from contscation.

The South Has Company.

The color line is as much in evil
dence in other parts Of the country
as in the South, as daily occurrences
prove. This section has no m onopoly
In that respect, and the people OF the
North and West arc fast coming to g
clear and reasonable understanding of
the Southern position, and are adopt
ing it as their own. We are indebted
to a friend for the following extract
from The Newark News, a rapid Re-
publican paper. The incident oc-
Cured, as will be seen, in Iowa, the
strongest Republican State in the
Union, with one exception. The
article is headed ''Negress Won Prize,
but Her Color Barred Her From 1t"
and is as follows: Judges of piano
forte music, seated in an adjoining
room in Des Moines, l., and not per-
mitted TO see the performer, awarded
first prize at the recent State Elstedd-
fod, held by the Welsh people Of Des
Moines and neighboring cities, to
Marguerite Field. Marguerite was
born with black skin and the wise
men of the eisteddfod called meet
ing to discuss the race question. 1t
was decided that according the rules
yr the association the color line must
be drawn and that the prize that had
been awarded by the judges could not
be given to the cHlored girl"

Trusts Don't Want Him.

A sensation has been created by the
selection Of St. Louis as the place for
holding the next Democratic national
convention. It is admitted that the
Democratic national committee select
ed St. Louis because Of the fear on the
part of German and Parker that II
the convention was held in Chicago
it would be stampeded by Hearst's
supporters and that he would be nomi-
mated on the first ballot. Hearst is
sUrong in Chicago and Illinois and he
publishes the only Democratic paper
in thai city. BY political manipula-
tion to avoid the danger Of HearSt's
forces and their influences on the con-
vention, if held in Chicago, German,
Parker and John r. Mclean hastily
combined and turned the convention
away from Chicago and gave 1T to st.
Louis. Newspapers throughout the
country declare that German, Parker
and Mclean have combined against
Hearst and the Bryan wing of the
party, and determines to capture the
party nomination for one of the men
mentioned, or for Cleveland. 1t is,
therefore, rapidly coming to the point
of Hearst and Bryan friends against
the ticld.n We knew from the begin
ping that the. trusts would be against
the nomination Of Hearst. They do
not want any man in the presidential
chair who is real Democrat, because
they know they would not be able to

No Need OF War.

: Nations as, we'll as men know no"
better than ever before that wars are
costly in precious lives as
we'll as in national resources. The
Boer war nearly doubled taxation IN
England, and it left behind an In
crease in the national expense that
bids fair to be practically permanent.
We lave the same experience as the
result Of the Spanish war. We muSt
for years pay millions more for our
naval establishment than if the war
had never occurred. These results, a
hundred times repeated, carry a les
son in teaching moderation of demand
and action that.has not been lost on
kings and presidents and cabinets
and congresses. To 60 to war is to
let loose the barbaric instincts. 1t is
TO abandon arbitration and compro-
mise, and even honorable concessions,
and set back the growth Of the ciylllz-
ing influences. A few more victories
like that won against the Beers, and
England would be undone. There
is no real winner in a long and bloody
conflict. Both parties lose. Percep-
tion of these facts is matter of more
universal knowledge and acceptation
among the masses and rulers now
than ever before in the history OF the
world. For this reason we dissent
from Secretary Roots dictum that
war between the United States and
another nation must come some, time.
1t is not necessary that it should come
at all, and every day CT peace should
make the chance of conflict more

nryan's Veto Rights.

A Washington dispatch to The New
York Herald says Of the Democratic
outlook as to Presidential candidate
next year: Mr.. Bryan intends to ex-
ercise the absolute veto power over
the nominee party. He feels that he
will be able to prevent the election OF
any candidate whom he does not en-
dorse. He therefore Las decided to
oppose all candidates who represent
the element that knitted him at the
polls in 1896 and 1900. In this cata-
pory he includes Judge Parker, Sena-
tor German, Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Olney
and David B. Hill. He would proha-
bly, also include Judge Gary of Della
ware" The Charleston Post con-
strues this to mean that Mr.. Bryan
viii nuu approve Uhe nomination vi
any man who has the slightest chance
to win the election, and says: But
this right. Of veto, whence and how
comes Mr.. Bryan to possess it?" We
are surprised that so we'll informed pa
Der as The Post should ask such a
question. 1t is conceded by his Bit
terest enemies that Mr.. Bryan has
the largest following of any one man
in the United States, and no ticket
nominated by the Democrats can be
elected unless it receives bis support.
The only exception to this is CleYe-
land. Should he be nominated, ne
would split the Republican party in
two. have all the Doodle of the trusts
at his command, and win, because the
boodlers, who are holding up the peo-
pie Of the country, would prefer him
to Roosevelt. But Cleveland is no
Democrat, and his election would be
a boodler's victory and not Demo-
cratic victory. Mr.. Bryan's influence
is among real Democrats, and we are
glad to believe that there are millions
Of them in this country. These real
Democrats Ulaim the same right to
follow their leader, and vote against
the nominee if he does not represent
their views, as The Post did in the
last two presidential campaigns, and
they will do it. In doing SO they
simply follow the example set them
by the very men who are now anxious
rnr them to maintain party discipline
and vote the straight ticket, provided
If course it is composed of men who
knitted the Democratic ticket in 1896
md In 1900.

Wolseley's Estimate Of Lee.
