UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA SUPREME
COURT RENDERS A DECISION
Declaring the Dispensary law of the
State Unconstitutional.
The South Carolina state supreme
court has rendered its long expected
decision declaring the dispensary law
unconstitutional. The decision is vo
luminous, being over twenty thousand
words in length. It is not unanimous,
two of the judges decided against
the law and one iu favor of of it.
Chief Justice Mclver and Associate
Justice McGowan agree in pronouncing
the act unconstitutional in practically
all of its features. Associate Justioe
Pope dissents.
In their elaborate opinion tlio ma
jority of the court decide the measure
one to raise revenue and not a police
regulation. The court takes up the
entire question and declares both the
old and the new law in their main
features to be agoinst the principles of
Carolina's government. The opinions
of Judge Hudson, of the court below,
were both affirmed.
DETAILS OF THE DECISION.
The court asserts, after reviewing the
ease, that in no view of it can the dis
pensary act be regarded as a police
regulation of the business of selling in
toxicating liquors and if it could be,
that such police power docs not include
the power on the part of the sate to
engage in carrying on such business.
As to the revenue feature, it is held
that, since the legislative department,
under the general power of taxation
conferred upon it, cannot impose any
tax except for some public purpose,
u)ion the samo principle it seems clear
to tho majority of the court that any
net of the legislature which is de
signed to, or has the effect of, em
barking the state in any trade which
involves the purchase and sale of any
article of commeroe for profit, is out
side of, and altogether beyond, the
legislative power conferred upon the
general assembly by tho constitution.
A STATE CANNOT TRADE.
“Trade,” says the decision, “is not,
and cannot properly be regarded as
one of tho functions of government.
It seems to us that the questions us to
the right of the state to engage iu any
trade or business for the purpose of
gain has been practically determined
adversely to such right in the recent
ease of Mauldin vs. the city of Green
ville.”
Tho court is careful to say that, in
the Chester case, it carefully avoided
tho consideration of any constitutional
question holding the act unconstitu
tional. The court decides that it is
unnecessary to consider the minor de
tails of the law and reaffirms the opin
ion of Judge Hudson.
THE TEST CASE.
The case on which the supremo oourt
rendered its decision is that of the cit
izens of Darlington against the Dar
lington board of control. The boards
of control have to do w ith the liquor
business exclusively, acting as a kind
of board of managers.
J. H. Hudson, the judge of the
fourth judicial district, heard the cose,
and the board of control wns enjoined
from establishing a dispensary in Dar
lington. Judge Y. J. Dope, elected to
the supreme court bench of tho state
by a Tillmauite legislature, immediate
ly suspended the injunction granted by
Judge Hudson until such time as the
supreme court could reach a decision.
The other two members of the su
preme court are Samuel McGowan and
Henry Mclver, both old and highly
respected judges. The caso was argu
ed January 29, and a decision was ex
pected iu a short time, but the whole
state has been kept in suspense now
for over a month.
THF. STATE WILL APPEAL.
The state has already announced its
determination to appeal to tho United
States supreme court.
WHAT TILLMAN SAYS.
In speaking of the matter to a press
representative Governor Tillman said :
“I haven’t read it and don’t know its
scope yet. I have tried to enforce the
law because it was law. The action of
tho court makes it incumbent on mo to
take steps, as my judgment will dic
tate, to protect the interests of the
state and of the people. The matter
is not finished. I will do nothing for
the present but appeal to the supremest
court —the people!”
THE CAKE CANNOT BE APPEALED,
A Washington special says: The de
cision of the supreme court of South
Carolina in declaring the dispensary
law unconstitutional created much ex
citement at the capitol and was, as a
rule, endorsed. Mr. Hoar, in response
to an inquiry whether or not the case
would be carried to the supreme court
of the United States, replied that this
could not be done. Had the decision
been one upholding the constitution
ality of the law, then, said Mr. Hoar,
and appeal would be.
BECOMING MORE FRATERNAL.
Branches of fhe Presbyterian Church
Harmonizing.
A Birmingham, Ala., dispatch says:
In furtherance of the idea of eventful
amalgamation between the northern
aDd southern churches, the North Ala
bama Presbytery has passed a resolu
tion petitioning the ge’ueral assembly,
soon to meet in Nashville, to appoint a
standing committee on co-operation in
home mission work to meet with a like
committee of the northern assembly,
in session at the same time in Sara
toga. The northern and southern
churches are already co-operating in
the matter of foreign missions, and
when this step is taken the dividing
line between the two churches will bo
imaginary.

KELLY’S ARMY
IMsliks? the Idea of Walking and Steal
a Train.
A dispatch from Weston, la., states
that “General” Kelly and ex-Congress
man Fusey left that place for Omaha
on an early train Friday morning.
Th© weather was severely cold and the
ground covered with ice. Kelly spent
the day in Omaha and Council Bluffs,
endeavoring to secure railroad trans
portation for his men. He rejected
offers of Omaha sympathizers to send
his command to Kansas City by steam
boat down tho Missouri river, and also
one to divide his men and send half
to St. Paul and the remainder to Rock
Island.
MARCHED TO COUNCIL IILUFFB.
A crowd of 3,000 laboring men
marched from Omaha across tho bridge
to Council Bluffs for the purpose of
compelling tho eastern railroads, by
force if necessary, to furnish a train
for Kelly’s army. By the time it
reached the center of tho city of Coun
cil Bluffs it had grown to 6,000 men
and forty or fifty women. The column
had been preceded to Council Bluffs
by a committee of prominent eitizons,
appointed previously at. a meeting of
the Central Labor Union. The com
mittee was to call on Gov. Jackson
and the managers of the railroads,
urging that the eommonwealers be at
once started on their way east.
While the column was marching to
wards the Missouri river General Kel
ly was iu Omaha, seated iu the private
car of President h>t John, of the Rock
island road, holding an inimuted con
ference. Mr. St. John said iu re
sponse to a request for a train that he
was not iu a position to grant it, even
should he desire to do so, as the mat
ter was now wholly in the hands of tho
presidents of the lowa trunk lines, and
that the road could not grant a re
quest for a train unless the presidents
of all the other roads agreed.
General Kelly then left the car and
called on other friends for advice.
Meanwhile the railroads stopped tho
running of trains into and from Coun
cil Bluffs, and ran all their rolling
stock out of town. The Omaha people
got no more satisfaction out of tho
Council Bluffs railroad officials than
Kelley did out of President Bt. John.
The roads are united in their deter
mined stand not to furnish transpor
tation for the eommonwealers unless
paid for it.
CAPTURED THE CARS.
The throng of workingmen captured
a lot of cars and engine for Kelly’s
use, but when the train reached Wes
ton, ten miles east of Council Bluffs,
Kelly refused to have anything to do
with it, and it was returned to Council
Bluffs.
New Cable Landed.
A special to the New York Herald
from Waterville, Ireland, states that
the shor end of the third cable of the
Commercial Cable Company has been
successfully landed by the steamer
Faraday.
It is better to be an April fool than
a chronic one. ,

From all over tho west comes tho
nows that tho crucado of industrials is

sides these armies, large numbers of

rious lines of march with the intention
of joining the large bodies.
coxey’s main army.
After three days’ stay in Hagers
town, Md., tho Army of the Common
weal broke camp Monday morning and
made for Turner’s Gap. Just after the
departure of the Commonweal army,
considerable speculation was aroused
by u dispatch from Washington, stat
ing that a troop of cavalry lmd started
from Fort Myer, bound for Freder
icks. There is a rumor that the Com
monwealers lmd been making overtures
to the strikers in the coal region, and
there was the possibility of a deluge
of miners seizing trains to rush down
and striking the line of march some
whero in Fredericks or Montgomery.
FIFTH REGIMENT IN OREGON.
A special from Portland, Oregon,
says: The fifth regiment of the In
dustrial Army, six hundred strong, ex
perts to leave for Washington at once.
Tho officers hope to secure railroad
transportation, but it is lmrdly proba
ble that the railroads will accede to
their demands.
PREPARING FOR HIM AT WASHINGTON.
The Commissioners of the District
of Columbia will issue a proclamation
or statement concerning the coming of
Coxey and his army, tt is understood
that ‘his action will be taken at ths
suggestion of President Cleveland.
Fears that the arrival of Coxey will
mark the concentration in Washing
ton of elements bent on disturbing
law and order, have been impressed on
the commissioners by many prominent
men, and the president Ims also been
told by some of his advisers that it
would be well to take measures to show
the intending evil-doers that tlio au
thorities will brook no interference
with the maintenance of law and order
in the district.
The president was loath to take ac
tion in the matter in the name of the
Federal government, but believing
that some positive stops were necessary,
lie suggested that tho district commis
sioners, as the repsesentatives of the
local authority, issue some sort of
statement to offset the rumored inten
tions of the extremists to murk the ar
rival of Coxey tho opportunity for a
demonstration that might develop into
a serious riot.
MOULDERS TO GO TO WASHINGTON.
At a meeting of five hundred union
moulders, at Chicago, it was announced
that the three unions of Chicago would
send fi vo hundred men to Washington
to present their grievances to congress.
They will move on trains. Delega
tions from a dozen towns in Illinois,
Indiana and Wisconsin are expected
to join them.
FOUNT) GUILTY.
Result of the Pack wood Murder Trial
at Tavares, Florida.
Jenkins, Mcßae and Clinton have
been found guilty of tho Pack wood
murders, though in the case of Clinton
the jury made a recommendation of
mercy. The jury reached a verdict in
a very short while, being out but little
over an hour. It is understood that
there was practical unauimity as to the
defendants. The verdict was a sur
prise. Those who have followed the
trial closely were of the opiuiou that
either a mistrial or an acquittal would
bo the outcome. This opinion was
due to the lack of direct evidence
against the defendants and the circum
stantial evidence against them.
Jenkins is half Indian and half uc
gro, while Mcßae and Clinton arc
members of respectable white families
in Volusia county, Florida where the
murders were committed, the case
having been removed to Tavares, Lake
county, on a change of venue.
Tlio murders, which aro the most,
horrible on record in Florida, were
committed near New Smyrna, Volusia
county, over two years ago. Tho vic
tims were Miss Bruce, Mrs. Hatch,
Bonnie Hatch and Frankie Packwood,
tho two latter being little boys, about
five years old. Miss Bruce was a sis
ter-in-law of Frank J. Packwood, at
whoso home the murders were com
mitted. Packwood was absent and
Mrs. Hatch, with her boy, wus keeping
Miss Bruce and Frankie Packwood
company over night.
One of the strongest features of
the Midwinter Fair at Sun Francisco,
and undoubtedly that in which the
greatest interest centres, is a small
village of cabins and similar enclosed
exhibits which is supposed to repre

saloons, and by no means a few dance
balls, represent this era of El Dorado
America.
