"GOLD FOAM" CASE DECInED.

The matter of the State VS.. Chas.
E. Ely, charged with engaging IN
the business of selling intoxicating
liquors without a license, in which a
conviction was had in the circuit court
and which was taken to the supreme
court on appeal by the defendant,
was decided last week by the supreme
court. the decision of the lower court
being affirmed The opinion was by
Judge Corson, Judge Whiting hav
ing presided in the lower court took
no part in the decision.
The opinion takes up nine type
written pages, but as our readers are
not interested in much of it, we will
only give such portions as are OF di-
rect interest.
The offense charged consisted in
the selling and offering for sale OF a
beer. branded as "Gold Foam" and
Health Table Malt, which proved,
upon an analysis by the chemist to
contain between one and two per cent
of alcohol. The evidence OF the
chemist also disclosed the fact that
one was a ''fermented malt liquor
and the other 'germinated malt
liquor
The defense set up the claim that
the liquor in question was not 'nsox'
icating because it did not contain q
sufficient amount of alcohol to pro
duce intoxication. The prosecution

TREASON IN WISCONSIN

Truly we are making progress in
knowledge of economics, says the
Sioux City Tribune. Here now
comes Isaac Stephenson, republican
United States senator from Wisconsin.
declaring that free raw materials for
our manufactures are needed to over
come evils which the protective policy
has brought upon us.
Think of republican protectionist
advocating free anything in the way
of imports or admitting that the sa.
cred tariff can be the mother of evils
Such opinions as Senator Stephenson
has expressed, coming from a protec-
zionist 10 years ago would have caus.
ed him to be read out of the party
Less than 10 years ago a leader of
the republican party in Iowa was
bounded because he expressed opin-
ions milder than the Wisconsin
senator's, and the fight upon him has
only now waned.

did not prove intoxication as the re-
suit of drinking this beverage, but
contended that all malt or brewed
liquors were classed as Intoxicating
by the statute. and as such could not
be sold, except under a license and
permit, as provided by statute for the
retail of intoxicating liquors. The
circuit court held with the prosecu-
tion and instructed the jury "that
they could find the defendent guilty
for selling any mixture which con-
tanned any percentage of intoxicating
liqnors", and "they could find the
defendant guilty of selling liquor
which was either brewed. fermented
or malt" As there was no question
as to Gold Foam" aud Health Table
Malt" being malt liquors, as well as
containing percentage of alcohol
the jury returned the verdict of gull
ty. From this verdict the d sfendant
appealed, alleging the court to have
erred in the above quoted instructions
to the jury, and other alleged errors.
In his opinion Judge Corson says,
bearing directly upon the lower courts
instructions and alleged error SIN
the use of term or other Intoxicating
liquors" following the designation of
spurious, vinons, malt, brewed, fer
mented,' clearly indicate in our opin-
ion that it was the intention of the
Legislature to class all the liquors
mentioned as intoxicating liquors" J"
And further, he says "We may fair
ly presume, we think, that the omis.
sion of any provision in the present
law defining the meaning of intoxicat-
ing liquors, was intended to relieve
the state, in prosecutions under the
law, from the necessity of proving
that either of the classes of liquors
mentioned, would produce intoxica-
ton"
The court concludes: Finding no
error in the record, the judgment of
the circuit court and order denying
new trial are affirmed" f"

CLAMOR FOR MORE MONEY.

Pierre, S. D., Dec. l5.-Deep disap-
pointment is coming for the heads of
most of the state institutions at the
coming legislative session. Their ag
gregate demands upon the state treas
ury will be for S1,000,000 for new
buildings at the different institutions.
In the last campaign the heavy ap-
preparations of the last session were
defended on the ground that it was
necessary to provide new buildings
for the many state institutions. But
the heads of the institutions want
more. The state university thinks it
could get along for two years more if
it were given S345,000 for that pur
pose;the agricultural college at Brook
ings will be satisfied with SlS5,OOO,
and the asylum for the feeble-minded
at Redfeld wants $4,000 more.
The rest of them are willing to get
along with from 100000 down to
smaller sums, but all want something.
The total does not include anything
for the completion of the work on the
state capital The commission will
ask for approximately 100000 for
that work. They claim that as their
building is under construction and is
absolutely needed, their claim should
hold the first position before any new
buildings are commenced. Further,
their appropriation will come back TO
the state in cash as soon as it is
advisable to place the rest of the state
building lands on the market. They
will ask for a continuance of the
100000 appropriation of two years
ago, which has not been drawn upon.
They will ask for the issuance of
100000 of building bonds for ten
years; they will ask for authority to
expend 100000 more from the sale
of lands, and this they estimate will
complete the building, furnish it and
fit up the grounds. They have ex-
pended $293, 1875 to date on the work
and have about $4,000 yet available
in the way of mortgages and deferred
payments, and have disposed of all
the lands east of the Missouri river.

AT the meeting of the church
Federation at Mitchell last week two
resolutions were adopted which read
as follows:
Resolution No. 4. We hereby APP
peal to temperance workers OF all
parties, reform organizations, and
churchs, to lay aside all partisan or
personal praiudices and in the inter
ests of better citizenship, cooperate
to secure the above bill
Resolution No. s. We hereby re
quest the Anti Saloon League, be-
cause of it's omnipartisan nature to
lead in this effort, and we ask the
corporation of all the temperance or
carnations, and all friends OF temper
ance with them in this great work.
A new county option bill had been
prepared, by the Anti Saloon League
and submitted to the federation,
which was endorsed and resolution
No 3 was the result. The new bill
is to be placed bcfore the people
through the initiative as before, ana
il is hoped that by uniting all forces
the bill may secure favorable vote
The publication of the bill was re
ouested but the space required is toe
much. The meat of the nut is the
same as before; the same provision az
to local vote by municipalities if the
county should vote 'wet" is incor
porated in this new bill. Those inter
ested in the matter are now hustllne

important tips upon the condition of
the nation.
Congress will not be lulled to
security by the presidents statement
that the seven years of his administra-
tion indicate sound financial policy,
because in the seven years the &C.
counts about balance. The fact is
that, starting with surplus, the ma
tion has reached deficit. That is to
say, it has in seven years OF great
prosperity overlived its income. 1t
has contracted habits of spending
which do not disappear with the
plethoric income which tempted us
to liberality.
The first thing for congress to do is
to determine whether it is going
ahead with expenditures. If SO, the
tariff will have to be revised in way
to produce more income. This means
that many schedules where American
capital is shielded entirely from
foreign competition, will have to take
less government subsidy and share
| it's market TO some extent with the
! foreigner in order that the United
States may have money to spend on
new projects. Either this or the con-
gress will have to levy new taxes.
| The revision of the tariff, therefore,
becomes an all-important preliminary
to the undertaking of waterways and
other expensive Improvements.
! Happily it appears that these pro,
jects can afford to wait There is not
yet sufficient agreement upon what
should be done to justify the govern
ment in issuing bonds. The field has
not been mapped. The character and
depth of the new channel of the
Mississippi and other trunk water
ways have not even been decided. In
advance of this rather important de-
tail, Congressman Stevens of Mime
sata appears to have hit the nail on
tie head when he declared against a
large issue of bonds. A great bond
issue now would be but an incentive
to experimenting and waste. The
money could not be expended if the
bonds were sold; therefore, why take
on the burden in advance of its
need. Minneapolis Journal.

THE CORN GROWERS.

The next annual meeting of the
South Dakota Corn Growers and
Breeders association will be held in
Sioux Falls from December 10Th to
December 24th. The indications are
that large number of delegates will
be present, and that much good will
be accomplished along the lines of
good seed and good stock.
Professor 2. G.. Holden, of the agri-
cultural college in Iowa, has done a
great work in Iowa along the lines of
good seed. It's the opinion of Pres
ident Winchell of the Rock Island
road that the agitation for good seed
in Iowa, started and continued by Mr..
Holden has added about twenty mil
lions of dollars per year to the crop
production of the state. In fact, it has
long been known that the visits of
Mr.. Holden over Iowa can be traced
from year to year by the bigger crops
and the better quality of the corn and
grain which are grown.
Already much has been done along
these lines in South Dakota. 1t is the
purpose to keep up the agitation until
the growers of corn become convinced
that heredity is as important in the
vegetable kingdom as in animal life.
Good seed is just as important as good
sires, and the sooner the planters
learn this the bigger will be the re-
turns from the broad acres of the
state.
The mid winter meeting will be for
the purpose of making a study of
these questions and of having demon
strations which should later show up
in better crops. No grain grower or
stock breeder should be absent from
the state convention. To attend this
meeting will be to make the best in
vestment which it would be possible
to make for the time required. Many
new ideas will be brought out, and
there will be much discussion which
will of value to all present. Be pres
| sent at the meeting and you will find
that it pays well Argus Leader

CONGRESS AND THE FINANCES.

The present short session OF con-
gress may not accomplish anything
toward redeeming the pledges of the
last republican platform, because of
lack of time to consider them, but
they will bob up periodically, and the
majority will begin to feel its way.
Among the subjects which will come
up, undoubtedly tariff revision will
take first place, but waterways will
come in for share of attention. The
question of ways and means vii! -
all-important. The secretary of the
treasury, in his report, gives congress

ries. 1t was contended by the plain
tiff that Egan, having been disbarred,
could not qualify, neither could he
appear in court to represent the coun-
ty Egan's defense was that the con-
stitution required only that a man be
''learned in the law, which is a fact
beyond controversy, also tina. the
statute expressly stated that the states
attorney should appear in court for
his county in all cases civil and Grim.
inal, which is also fact. The ques-
ton up to the court simply revolves
itself to this: does the disbarment
by the supreme court take away his
constitutional right to hold the office
so long as he possesses the constltu-
tional requirement, which the supreme
court said he did possess when it adj
mitted him TO practice, and does the
disbarment by the supreme court
prevent Egan from appearing In court
for his county when the statute ex-
pressly states that he shall? In other
words, will the decision of the SUI
preme court in the disbarment pro-
ceedings be construed as setting
aside the expressed conditions of the
constitution and the statute so far as
Egan is concerned The circuit court
took the matter under advisement
for few days. But whichever way
the court decides, the case will prob
ably go up to the higher court.

Mr.. WHEATON, the pure food COM
missioner. made mistake when he
wrote to the Argus Leader about the
proposed new law on the patent med
icine question, and he made further
mistake when he stated in that letter
that he hoped the pure food depart
ment, the doctors, and the druggists
could get together on bill that
would be agreeable to all concerned,
or words to that effect. The doctors
and the druggists have no business to
be considered in the matter of patent
medicines at all. Fancy the prohibi
tionists hoping that they; the brew
ers, and the saloon men could get 10
gether on a liquor law that would be
satisfactory to all Doesn't it sound
foolish? There is just one thing to
be considered, and that is the good
of the public The doctors and the
druggists already have secured some
freak legislation in their own interest
and it is time to cut them out oi
the favored class and let them rustic
with the common herd.
