AGAINST BOUNTIES. bowler washes his hands of THE BOUNTY CASKS, And Leaves the Sottloment of Them to the Courts. The much anticipated decision of Bowler, comptroller of the treasury, iu the sugar bounty cases was made public Thursday afternoon. The particular case decided was the claim of the Oxnard Beet Sugar Com pany, of Nebraska, for the payment of a portion of tho sugar bounty ap propriated in the sundry civil bill, passed by the last congress. The amount involved in this case was only $11,782.50, being the claim allowed by the commissioner of internal rev enue under an appropriation of $238, 000 to pay the producers of beet, sor ghum or cane sugar previous to August 28, 1894, when the sugar bounty pro visions of the McKinley law were re pealed. But the decision, of oourse, involved the constitutionality of all sugar bounties. The comptroller first asserts his ju risdiction over the matter and his right to refuse payment of these bounties on the ground of the unconstitutionality of the appropriation. He quotes the decision of the court of appeals of the District of Columbia in a suit brought before them by the Miles Plant Man ufacturing Company, of Louisiana, for a mandnmus to compel the secre tary of the treasury and the com missioner of internal revenue to pay the sugar bounties provided by the McKinley law, and holds, in substance, that that court having decided all such bounties to be unconstitutional, its decision was one of which he was bound to take cognizance. He holds that the present claim is clearly “one involving a controversed question of law, and comes directly within the. provision of section 1063, because the authority, right and priv ilege is claimed on the one hand and denied on the other, under the consti tution of the United States.” “Therefore, under the provisions of the statute quoted and with the state ment that either party can appeal from the decision of the court of claims to the supreme court of the United States and then obtain a final decision, the comptroller makes the following order: “The papers in the present case will, therefore, be returned to the au ditor for transmission by him through the the secretary of the treasury to court of claims, under section 1062 for the rendition of a judgment, as re quired by the provision of section 1064 of the Revised Statutes, in order that they may be furnished a prece dent for the future action of (the) ex ecutive department in the adjustment of (the) class of cases involved in these sugar bounties.” NEW ORLEANS RESENTS A Threat of the Liverpool Cotton As sociation Regarding Packing. Felix Couturie, vice president and acting president of the New Orleans cotton exchange, has addressed the following to the Liverpool Cotton Association in answer to its announce ment to the New Orleans cotton ex change alty relative to the proposed pen of £5 a bale on cotton not put up after this year as that institution de sires : “I am requested by the board of directors to acknowledge your com munication of August 14, 1895. “They desire me to state that while this exchange is in sympathy with any proper in move to secure improvements packing American cotton for mar ket, they decline to recognize the right of the Liverpool association or any other mercantile body to enforce by a penalty such improvement. “In their opinion the matter is one that must be regulated by competition between individuals, it being .quite certain that the parties directly inter ested will soon solve it on a basis of dollars and cents. tive “This exchange, as the representa of a large per centage of southern cotton growers, opposes anything in the nature of a threat (for in that fight the proposed penalty may be regarded), as calculated rather to re desired. lard than advance the improvement of the Liverpool It doubts the ability, association or that of any commercial body to carry out any such arbitrary ruling and would refuse even if the measure were feasible to in a matter which it considers planters disrespectful alike to American cotton and merchants. “It trusts, therefore, that in the in tereet of mutual good feeling the Liverpool threats exchange will rescind bale its of a penalty of £5 per gainst American cotton planters who not pack their cotton in such man as may be suitable to it.” A Railroad Sold.
