RIVING IN ATLANTA DAILY.
Interest Centered in the Senatorial Race
Candidate* for Judgeship* and Sofia
tor>hip» Here in Force.
The legislature meets on Wednesday. It
*’ to elect a United States senator, to Illi
the seat now held by Senator Pat Walsh;
a justice of the supreme court to succeed
thief Justice Ix»»nm E. Bleckley; a dozen
superior court judges, and as many solici
tor generals, besides all the officers of the
senate and the house.
In these contests the interest of the poll
tiefans is centered. The clans have coni
tnonced to gather. The corridors of the Kim
• 'll are already alive with them. The ol
faces are tin. re. and many new ones ar
sandwiched among them. The statesmen
the candidates, the legislators. the war.
Politicians are all either here now or coni

hold to stimulate the brain and cause tin
tongue to wag KlorioiiKly.

candidate claims he has his r..-- piactical

THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA. GA.. MONDAY. OO
Waycross, Ga., October 17.—(Special.)-
Polltics have been very quiet in the elet
enth congressional district since the reeen
state election, and for two weeks the lu
'has been such as to make the people almo*
forget that a congressional campaign is 1
progress.
It is necessary that there should be a re
viva! of interest, and st seems that Mt
Turner has concluded to devote the nex
two weeks entirely to home matters, leav
Ing his senatorial candidacy to take car-
ol itself.
The truth of the matter is there seems t<
I be some tro-.ible at home. While the demo
| erats have not been active during the pas
t,vo weeks the populists have not slept *
minute. Emboldened by theip recent gain:
th-y put on foot an active canvass in tin
eleventh’district, and whether it amount:
to anything or not, it has already had tin:
effect of bringing Mr. Turner home and d'
verting his active attention from his sena
torial candidacy.
Denioe-.-iitic I)lssa(iefneflon.
Ordinarily the democrats would have no
trouble in this district, but unfortunately
there is considerable disaffection and recent
events have tended to wid -n the breach in
stead of harmonizing things. In Brunswick,
for instance, a most vigorous campaign for
county offices is in progress and Glynn
county* is in doubt, ’(’he democrats there
b.tvo just been brought to a full realization
of the situation, and have concluded that
i-lb - s active work is put on foot immediate
ly that Glynn’s democratic majority will de
velop into a minority at the next ejection.
Mr. Turn°r has been sent for to make an
other visit to Glynn, and he will soon do sc,
but it is doubtful if his personal activity in
that county will hare the desired - fleet, be
cause things are not serene there.
I<epubli<-HH-« iu Office.
The situation is very badly mixed 1
Glynn county and the trouble arises chief
over the fact that a great many repub!
can office holders of the Harrison admin!:
traiio.- are still In office. The position o
postmaster, for instance, is filled liy Mr. I
Mil). Brown, and it has h-en four year
and a half since the democrats of Bruns
wick have had the pleasure of loo’rin- -jho:
tlie countenance of a democratic postmas
ter. The present ineuni’ix-nt, Mr. Brown
succeeded H. D. Atwood, also a republican
who was appointed by President Harrison
an who was removed just before Prcsi-i n
< h v-'l-in-l was Inaugurated on seriott:
charges of maladministration. After Mr
Brown had served out Mr. Atwood's unex
pired term, and the office had been in re
publican liands for tour y-ja-s the democrat.:
of Brunswick thought they had the right
to demand th" appointment of a demo rath:
I’c.'tniast-r. X comtn:foe was sent to Wash
ington to c-nifer with Congressman Turner,
but they brought back the unsatisfactory
report ihat ?.ir. Turner s-ti-l that nothing
could he done until the present incumbent
had servf-d out his four years, giving the
republicans six years administration of the
Brunswick office. Th** present incumbent
is a consistent republican from Massachu
setts. lie has voted every republican tick
et, state ana national, and is in active affil
iation with his party.
Republican cfiic--hol-k-r;- are abundant in
that neighborhood. The republican post
master at Si. Slnmn’s, jt-s( across the sound,
is still in charge ami there have been few
or no eiianu- v in the r» publican lighthouse
keepers a.ong th*> coast.
This has had a very depressing effect In
Glynn county and unless something is d0,.,-
I<> a\ ri th** indignation with which the
democrats of the county receive such tre.it
me-nt, it i. entirely probable that th-’ peopio
will r. ■ -I th- ,:- (lissntisf-'Air cotlfe*-'o>

authorized to seize an-1 djonfiscate the
liquor. In r.'l such cases the governor pro
posal to t-nder the tax to the government
and seise the spirits, contending that the
federal authorties have no right to inter
feta in the matter.
Commissioner Miller tool: issue with the
governor and cited several deci -ions of tho
court, among tiicm on*? by the supreme
court of the United States, wherein it was
held that goods in bonded warehouses were
not subject to any process or proceeding
irming from a stale court, and that so long
an the government retained control of the
goods its jurisdiction end authority was
siipr* m**. No final decision, however, was
reached .and it is possible that in defer
ence to th. wishes of Governor Tillman th-:
question wili breferred to the attorney
genera! for all opinion.
Ihe Governor Talks of His Trip.
Columbia, S. C., October IS.—(Special.)—
Govt rnor Tillman returned today from
Washington, whither he went in an at
tempt to settle a. conflict between the <lis
peiisa and the United revenue
laws.
A distiller in Edgefield county had viola
ted the dispensary law and the governor
bill attempted to - iae the liquor belonging
to the distiller, which was in a distillery
warehouse, by paying the revenue tax. The
collector refused to give up the whwkv, and
the go.-j-rnor went to V. ashmjton io see
about it.
The Governor Is Pleased.
Ho MM pleased with the press report of
hD visit sent out last night from Wa .hing
ti-n. and tl::- afternoon gave out the follow
ing:
"I accomplished all I went for, and that
was to p.- vent any conflict of authority or
friction between the federal and state au
thorities. .
T found Commissioner Jliller v-*ry anx
-lOU-* of co-operating with me in the mat
ter. There is some doubt in his mind as to
whoth-r he has authority to allow the state
to seize liquor in a distillery warehouse apd
pay the tax on It. The question ha s never
been raised before, and there is no iitdieiii
decision along this line.
"There have !>een cases of she*iff.? at
tempting to .«• fze liquors an-1 imported
goods in bond- i warehouses under war
rants for tho collection of debts, an-1 the
courts have held that this was not n- rmi -
sable.
How the Enw Aow Stands.
“Until the passage of the i. ,-t revenue
law, tii” Wilson act. a.; amend 1 bv the
Senate liquor in warehouses was hell un-’er
c-'i tlfi-’.ites whi< n were u: -d In the markets, j
end any one holding the certificate was
considered the owner and could pay the tax
and rcmo-.i it. Congress, for some re ason
changed the phraseology, and the la«- now
provides that the tax must b<* paid ), y *h<-
distiller, and tmder a strict construetion no
one elf -is allowed to do it—not even an
administrator or executor.
I contend that the government only
biol-is the liquor for the ptirpos • of s ?ur- i
ng the ta ;, that the state's right to p.-lle.*

posited in distillery bonded warehouses
under the internal revenue laws.
“It is proper to state that rhe acquies
cence by this office in the course prop. •:*! to
i-o taken would lie the probable complete
destruction of the bonded warehouse sys
tem within the state, the consequent cessa
tion of the business of manufacturing dis
tilled spirits under the internal revenue laws
an-1 the loss to the United States of fur
il,, c,ne from that source.
i he desperate law, it apiwtars. ha.-; been
construed by the state supreme court as not
absolutely prohibiting the manufac-
ture and sale of distilled spirits.
I ‘”‘ *' appears also that vn-ier the
law a distiller in the state cannot sell his
product to private persons within the state,
nor, if I lightly apprehend the provisions of
the third section, to privat* persons to be
shipped out of tho slate, but only to stalo
commissioners or to wrsons outside of the
j state and under regulations v.'tich would
I s-’rloii.-ly inconven x the shipj-er. Under
■ sin li r-xstrieiion: there winlo' hardly be
any further lawful piaduction f diMiiled
spirits within th? state. No distiller would
be willing to produce an article to Ire sold
only on cumpui' <■ n to a single purchaser,
and at tire price fixed by him.
Phe question :s br.;adiy presented wheth
er a state can so legislate as h-cidentaJly
to (let rive the United St: U s of one li■
-i- '. hired sources ol revenue, and it t-.ppears
to me a proper matter for tlie consideration
of . • hi fhest law o <
ment.
“The supicme court in McCullo-h vs.
Maryland, 4 M heat, 31fi, declared that ‘the
states have no power by taxation or other
wise, to retard, impede, burden or in any
manner control the operations of the con
siitulional laws enacted by congre/s to car
ry into effect the powers vested in the
national government. And in Hannibal
and St. Jiseph Railroad Company vs.
Husen, D 5 United States. F”, it was held
tin;: neither tlie unlimited pow.-rs of a state
to tax nor any of its large police powers
can be exercised so as to work a practical
assumption of the powers conferred by the
constitution upon congress, and in nunu rous :
other cases it has held to the same effect.
“On the other hand, in such casjys as the
Boston Be -r Co:a; vs. Massachusetts,
f>7 United States, 'Ji. the right of the state
to absolutely prohibit tho manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors was upheld.
"Applying what appears to be the estab
lished law to the present case, it would
seem that, while the state of South Carolina
has the right in the exete'se of its po
lice power to prohibit the miKiufacture of
and the traffic in distilled spirits within
Uie state, it is doubtful if it has the right,
v. iihout prohibiting th * nianuf..cture or
traffic, to practically take posse: -n of the
business in al] its details rud to c..rry it on
and through its own aeoncies I- its own
profits, thus perhaps forcing the United
States to surreudtr the income divided by it
from a source heretofore relied upon. It
follows, of course, that if one state may do
this all may, and the police power of the
states will have been ’so exercised a s to
work a piaetleal assumption of the powers
of congress,’ and to impede, burden an-1
control the operation of Its laws.' ,
“You will note that the governor pro
posed t > recognize the lien of the United
States upon the spirits in the warehouse for
the taxes due thereon and to pay the same.
“The • LW (s-ecth-m. forty-eight and fifty
of the act of congress. August 2S, UM) lim
its tlie right of til" wiu;di :twal ol spirits
from warehouse to tiie distiller himself.
