Senate Committee Agrees on Bill
Regulating Shipments.
OUTCOME OF MANY HEARINGS
Provisions of the Measure Designated
to Eliminate the Practice of Rail-
road and Express Agents Acting as
Agents for Liquor Houses.


Washington, April 7.-After extend
ed hearings and exhaustive arguments
by the members of the senate commit
tee on judiciary that committee has
agreed upon bill dealing with the
shipments of liquors from one state or
territory to another state or territory.
The measure will be reported by Sen
ator Knox, who was chairman of the
subcommittee which conducted the
hearings. 1t is comparatively simple
in form, providing that there shall be
no collect on delivery" packages of
liquor shipped in interstate commerce
where fictitious names are used and
that the name of the consignor and
consignee shall be stated plainly. The
provision is designed to eliminate the
practice of railroad and express agents
acting as agents for liquor houses.
There were numerous bills before
the subcommittee dealing with every
phase of the question and particularly
they sought to give to state the right
to control liquor shipments the mo-
ment they entered the border of the
state. Temperance organizations all
over the country desired this feature
to be incorporated in the bill so as to
give the widest latitude to state in
exercising its police powers. All of
the bills before the subcommittee
were declared unconstitutional by a
vote of to q A vote was later had
on the bills by the full committee and
they were declared unconstitutional
by vote Of to 5.
The bill agreed on eliminates the
features that are believed to endanger
q successful constitutional test. The
report on this bill will be unanimous.
Al the same time the minority of the
committee still believes that certain
other features intended to broaden the
scope of the measure should be enact.
ed and it was agreed that the views of
all of the members of the committee
should be incorporated in the report
to the senate. The submission to the
senate of the views of the minority
will transfer the whole matter to the
senate floor with excellent prospect of
a renewed fight there for what is
termed broad states rights" bill.

SERIOUS RIOTS At LISBON
Extent of the Casualties Sup.
pressed by the Censor.

Lisbon, April THE city is in a
state of intense excitement over the
election riots brought on by the indig-
nant protest of the Republican ele-
ment that it would be defrauded at
the polls Great crowds filed Pedro
square and were massed in front of
St Dominique church, these points
being the chief centers of the Repub-
lican disorder
The troops, consisting of cavalry
and infantry, were called from their
barracks and charged on the assem-
bled multitude As the troops ad-
vanced they were met by showers of
stones. The soldiers charged repeat
edly, finally opening fire on the mob.
Intense disorder ensued. One OBJ
server says the streets were literally
red with blood No official statement
of the number of killed and wounded
has yet been issued and pending au-
thority from government sources no
unofficial or press statement is per-
mitted to be telegraphed concerning
the extent of these casualties. The
crowd finally fled in terror to their
homes, the cavalry pursuing the
groups through the streets and dis
persing them as they sought to reform
at the street corners.

The Church Defeated.

1t was only the expected that happened in Salt

Mormon hierarchy employed to defeat at the
polls, the authorization of 100000 worth of NUM-

extension of the water and sewerage systems of
the city
1t was the expected that happened when the
Americansm of the city in its effective majority

the church There a majority of sol for the
water bonds and $50 for the sewerage bonds. But

After Railroad Offenders.

How we'll the government is getting along in its
efforts to testimony upon which to base an
action for the dissolution of the Hartman railroad
combine is not matter of public information. Its
agents are busy in Chicago and in other places, the
intention being to proceed along the same line of
action that resulted in the abrogaton of the North
Securities company, if the foundation can be
laid for action.
Mr. Hartman is in control of eighteen extensive
railroad lines and much larger number of sub
sdiary lines. He is engaged in some sort of
a negotiation with Gould and there are reports that
he is invading the Wabash territory with designs of
large dimensions.
1t is part of the current that band of
Pima Indians in Arizona who undertook to absorb
portion of Mr. Harrmans Southern Pacific rail
road, was promptly dealt with and is in Jail for
term of months by sentence of the court at Phoenix.
These Indians appropriated quantity of ties
with which they built houses to live in, innocently
supposing railroad to be public utility.
1t is of Importance that a start has been
made towards suppression of the practice of taking
in railroads and the merger mogus in the larger
field of operations advised to be wary.

The Signs are Favorable.

Says the Paris Post, whose Mormonism is unadut-
Grated
All signs point to the nomination of Chairman
James A. Brady for governor.
Senator Hepburn is candidate for reelection and
his popularity and the excellent service he has
dered the states make his reelection almost certain
He is brilliant in all respects.
The saints taught in the books that come down
to them from presumed inspired to put great
faith in signs and verify it is believed that the pro-
phecy of the Paris paper based upon all the signs
will fill the heart of Brother Brady with exceeding
comfort. And that Brother Hepburn has also been
initiated into the mysteries of the political endow-
ment house and is one of the anointed may be
known by those same signs, so freely offered by the
organ of the faith.
By these tokens, be it known that the and
reveator in the temple at Salt Lake has chalked
the hats of his servant James and his servant We'll
don that it may be understood in all places that they

A Good Selection.

The appointment of Norman E. Mack, of New
York. as chairman of the democratic national COM
mittee is admirable. He is we'll equipped, comes
from the right state, has had years of experience
on the committee and is loyal to Mr.. Bryan and
his policies 1t has been easy thing to support
Mr. Bryan in New York state, and at the same
time and all the time, hold the confidence of the
leading democrats there Mr. Mack is acquainted
with public men and is in good position to select
his advisers from the various parts of the country
1t augurs we'll for the campaign that David R.
Francis of Missouri also is to be on the executive
committee
While Mr.. Bryan has not yielded in the slightest
degree regarding the principles for which he has
contended, it speaks volumes for the success of his
cause that his opponents in his party not only
acquesce in the trump of his principles but accept
responsible places to aid in carrying them to success

One of the Best Arguments.

The Occur d'A1ene Press has an appreciation of
the value of the sentiments of Judge Woods, of the
first judicial district, expressed in connection with
Mormon control in the politics of the state:
The views of District Court Judge Woods on the
Mormon question, recently published in the Press in
which he said that it the greatest question be-
ore the people of Idaho, the fact that he spoke
from an intimate knowledge of conditions existing
where these people are in control will carry much
weight with thinking people of the state. The cry
that the anti -Mormons are ndulgng in religious
persecution is false and those who make the claim
know is false unless interference in political affairs
of the state and the practice of polygamy are a
part and parcel of religion No other church, as an
organization, undertakes to dictate how its members
s shall vote or endeavors to control public affairs
The condemnation of the Mormons for their inter
ference in politics by Judge Woods is one of the
best arguments in support of the position of the
democratic party that has been given publicity and
there is no reason why his views should not prevail

Discrimination in Taxation.

Among the resolutions adopted by the Latah
county democratic convention one that contains
a rather serious charge. 1t says:
Resolved That the we'll known alliance between
the leaders of the republican party and the Mormons
has resulted in gradually imposing an unequal pro-
portion of taxation in the counties of northern
IDAHO until by Misrepresentation and deception the
valuations in Latah county for this year have been
increased so per cent last years valuation,
whereas in Elmore county they have been actually
lowered per cent below last years valuations.
Proof of this fact filed only last week with the
board of county commissioners OF Latah county
which statements and distractions from the records
of several counties from southern Idaho disclose
this unjust state OF affairs.
This is a matter that has not been brought under
general discussion, but if Latah county has the
proof and it says it has, the subject is one that
ought to be talked
The alliance between the republican party of Idaho
and the hierarchy was entered into for mutual adj
vantage The party takes the conspicuous offices,
thus reapng the glory, for the church has not yet
come into its kingdom
But such material immediate benefit saddling
the burden of taxation upon the Gentiles of the
state is possible under the alliance, and the her-
archy would hesitate not at all about demanding
that much of concession from the party upon
which it bestows power
The Latah county democrats say that proof of
the discrimination is in possession of the county
commissioners. This is important To prove the
case would be to invoke the remedy that lies in the
ballot The organized Mormons would hardly be
able to cope with the organized Gentiles.
Another phase of discrimination in the levy and
collection of taxes in the Mormon counties has been
discussed to extent though perhaps not in the
newspapers. 1t forms a part of the subject.
1t is employed among the heirs of deceased
property owners who postpone the settlement of
Estates leaving titles in the of widows who
exempt from taxation under the state laws, I'M
less they than $4,000 worth of property.
This is practiced in counties where the spirit of
defiance of government that does not come out of
the church is the ruling passion Men of broad
Americanism would not do it. but Idaho contains
many people who look upon government usurper
of their rights tolerate it only because they have
to and defraud it whenever they
