m VOLUME XVII. r "'Ti' The Charaoterfstios of Good Whisky. DALLAS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1G, 1898. FOUR FULL QUARTS BY PREPAID EXPRESS FOR $3.15 [ Oauh with oil Ordorm.' In the preparation of Whisky, the infusion of rvc or other grain is first made to undergo fermentation, by which the saccharine matter and indirectly the stare.1 are converted into Alcohol. In this state the liquid is called the wash I bis is submitted to distillation, and the product is denominated low wines. Uv a second distillation it becomes purer and stronger, anti now takes the name of 2 raw spirits or whisky. It is now submitted toa third distilla- lg|gg| tion in order'Ho still further purify it. This is where our Whisky is superior. Few whiskies are ever submitted to the third distillation. By time certain chemical changes I 1 take place by which the natural impurities contained in the | I * liquor arc destroyed and the whisky becomes mellow, los- I 3 ing the disagreeable odor and taste which it is apt to have I when first distilled.

Marsh, former president of Iho Keystone National hank, was sentenc ed by Judge Hutler, in the United States district court, to nil imprison ment of twelve yenrs and three months, and to pay a line of $500. Marsh was charged with conspiracy in making false entries in the books, and issuing fnlso reports to tho comp troller of the currency. It was thought prolmblo that Marsh might, whoa brought up for sentence, make a statement implicating others in the wrecking of tho Imnk, but ho merely informed tho court thnt his predecessor in tho presidency of tho imnk had left a defalcation of over a million dollars, and that he (Marsh) had never profited a dollar through the bank’s lossos.

Alf soonibs ^ho routine morning hns- inqps lrtid been disposed of, Mr. Vest, dthiocrat,• of Missouri, called up his resolution offered some days ago de claring it to bo unconstitutional for this government to acquire foreign territory except for eonling stations or some like purpnso, unless its inten tion was to confer statehood upon tho territory nml citizenship upon its in habitants. Mr. Vest declared thnt it was a bn- sio principle of tills government that “tho powera of tho government wero derived from the oonsont of tho gov erned,” and mnintainod that tho fed eral government had no authority, either in morals or in the constitu tion, to go beyond thnt principle. lie held thnt the principle had boon sustained by tho supreme court in va rious decisions nml tlint no ptihlio | mini of prominence nml no recognized tribunal bad been reckless enough to controvert ft, until within (liu last nix months, “when tho craze of expansion seems to linvo taken possession of the American people.” Mr.Vest thought it was tho purpose of tho cxpnnsionistR to nilopt the European system of colonization. Ho pointed out thnt Grent Hritniu had iu tho mother country 120,070 square miles of territory, ami iu her colonies 10,007,001 square miles. The dispro portion of population was about tho same. Mr. Vest maintained that tho funda mental principle of this government xvas tho granting of citizenship to all within tho jurisdiction of the govern ment. lln did not bolievo that any body would bo roeklesa enough to say thnt Thomas Jefferson, who penned Iho words, “all governments dctlvo their just powers from tho consent of tho governed,” xvas not nccurute in tho light of onr constitution. In tho net of cession of tho territory of Louisiana from Frnnco to tho United Slates 1* found a provision that, the inhabitants, ns noon ns possi ble, shnll bo inado citizens of Iho United States nnd tho territory of Louisiana ho made n state of tho union. So it xvas, deviated Mr. Vest, when Florida xvas acquired from Spain, nml xvhon Alaska xvas obtained from Russia. “When, xvhere, how,” ho asked, “linvo we surrendered file great power thnt this is n confederation of slates? I cannot conceive it to bo pcBsihlo to point out any other form of govern ment undor the constitution.” Mr. Vest declared that tho Unitoq States supreme court had settled that ijuestiou for all time. Mr. Vest main tained that the overivhelming argu ment of the expansionists xvus that tho constitution applies alone to the stutes of the union. COL. 11KYAN RESIGNS.
