John Taking n 2Uost Melancholy View of the Situation I tlnhllnnt. KANSAS Cirv , April 80 A Lcnvcnworth special to the Times says : The decision of the supreme court of the United States on the Interstate commerce clause of the con- ntltutlon IB received here with much satisfac tion. Prominent lawyers who carefully leail the decision as reported In the Times are ol the opinion that the court has not squarely decided upon the question as to the right of the Imiwrtcr to sell in original packages , but lias NO plainly laid down Its views that there Is ho doubt what It will do when such a case comes up squarely before It. The court says : "The po.vcr vested in congress to regulate rommcrco' among the several states A the power to prescribe the rule by which that commerceis to bo governed and Is n power complete In itself , acknowl edging no limitations other than those pro scribed in the constitution. It Is co-extensive with the bubjccton which It nuts and can not be stopped at the external boundary of the state , but must enter its interior and must bo capable of authorizing the disposition of these articles which it introduces that they may become mingled with the common mass of property within , the territory entered. " Mr. Thomas 1' . Fenlon bald that this part of the court's opinion is quito clear on the question of right of the importer to sell * iu oilglnal packages. On January It of the present year , the supreme premo court of this stale rendered an opinion on an original package c.iso , the state vs Fulkcr. The testimony in the lower court showed that the defendant sold to numerous persons what wcro called "pi i/.o packages , " being boxes about twelve inches square in each of which there was a Jug of whisky. These boxes wcro shipped from Nebraska and wcro sold in Kansas by the defendant in tliusamo form and condition in which they wcro shipped. The defendant was In charge of the railroad depot and expiess ofllce at Olfeto and the boxes were shipped by express fiom Brulo Springs , Neb. Some of these who applied to pur chase liquor fiom the defendant presented orders which purpoi ted to coma from Kawl- liig and from a man called "Ax , " but the testimony indicated that tile defendant sold to all who applied , regardless of orders , and tb'jt many sales wcro made when no such ti tiers were presented. The defendant asked the court to instruct the jury that if packages containing intoxicating liquors wcro sold by the defendant in the original packages as de livered for shipment in Nubraska , ami as re ceived by him in Kansas , such sales were not ill 'violation of the constitution and laws of Kansas relating to the silica of intoxicating liquors. The request was rofu > > cd. The supreme court of the state held that in toxicating liquors transported from another state to u point in Kansas are subject to the laws df Kansas relating to the sale and dispo sition of Huch property to the sumo extent and In like manner as are other intoxicating liquors already rightfully existing in the state , and can. not bo sold at the place of des tination in the original packages or other form except as the laws of Kansas prescribe. The police power of the state , so exercised , does not infringe on the power delegated to congress to regulate commerce between the states. This case has been appealed to the Buprcmo court of the United States and will bo the Jlrstot the many cases arising from the prohibitory laws of this state that have been before the same tribunal upon which the court can give a fair and square expres sion of opinion. In the Iowa case the right o impoitation was only involved , but the court outlined what wcro the rights following these of importation. The case of Bowman vs the Chicago & Northwestern railway company before the supreme court in 188" was one whcro the de fendant refused to transport liquors from an other state to that of Iowa. The court held for the plaintiff. Justice Field disscnU-d from the opinion of the court only in so far that the decision did not go far enough , for the reason that the right of importation must carry with it the right to sell. Mr. Justice Matthews , who delivered the opinion for the court , held : "It is easier to think that the right of importation from abroad and of transportation Irom one state to another includes , by necessary implica tion , the right of the importer to sell in un broken packages at the place where the transit terminates , for the very purpose and motive of that branch of commerce which consists In transportation in that other and consequent act of commerce which consists In the salu and exchange of the commodities transported. Such , indeed , was the point decided in the csiso of Brown vs Maryland as to foreign commerce , with tliu express stale- men t , in the opinion of Chief Justice Mar shall , that the conclusion would bo the sumo In a case of commerce among the states. But It Is not not necessary to express and opinion upon the point because that question docs uot rise in the present case. " A Topokn special to the same paper says : Attorney General ICellog said : " 1 am sur prised and disappointed at the decision. It Himply repudiates , as 1 Interpret it , the de cision of the United States supreme court made forty years ago mid which has been the law during Unit time. The court then hold that a New Hampshire party could not ship into Vcnnoht , contrary to the prohibitory law In force In the latter state , a barrel of gin bearing the government revenue stamp uml heU the same in thu original barrel in violation of the laws of Vermont , It is us fceriims and possibly ms dangerous a decision as the famous Dred Scott decision of pro-slavery days. I feel like criti cising the court. It is not what the people of th < j state had a right to expect from the supreme premo court of the United States. I hope that there may bo something hedging In the de cision , that It is not as sweeping in its effect us it now looks , ami therefore I am anxious to BCO the full text , The dissenting opinion is clearer than thu decision Itself , and I think that the Justice who gave that opinion had A' o correct View of the law and the question , aiio decision , as I icad it , is that a party in this state may bring Into the st to from other states liquors In original packages and can hell the sauiQ to n second party without lia- bllltv to arrest under our prohibitory law. " "Then , general , you think that it affects Kansas and that It will make it possible to sell liquor In original packages in that ttatcl" "I am sorry to say it , but I believe that it docs that very thing , I fear that it Is a seri ous , if not u fatal , blow tu prohibition. Our law has never attempted to prohibit the im portation of liquors into this state , for the iramers of the law well knew that it would not bo done under the statutes of the United States regulating the trutUo of common car l-lei's between the states. Wo have only Fought to prevent the sale of such liquors This decision says in substance that we can not prevent the mile of such liquors as long as they remain In the original packages. 1 fear wo must look to congress for relief. This Is n temperance state and the people will de mand congressional action that will pro tect us. " Judge Valentino of the supreme court said : "I do not Hko to express an opinion until I liave seen the full text of the ikvislon. It It goes as far as the dissenting opinion Indi cates It means not only the abolition of Kan- aus liquor laws , but also the license laws of every other stato. It means that the Intoxi cating liquors can bo shipped in hero from Kansas City and sold in the original packages by sills , pints , quarts or barrels. It will have the effect of taking prohibition from the stale nnd making it on national \ issue , i Kvery preacher , every temperance lecturer , ( ivory member of the \Vomens1 Christian Temper- unco union In this land will work on thu local congressman. I am surprised at the result. I hud fully expected that Uamar , on account of bis ultra states' rights Ideas , would plaeo a different construction on the law. I thought Fuller would take a different view of it , Ilurlun mid draw stand whcro I thought they would , but I thought that Judge Brewer would construe the law differently from what ho has. Having these ideas , I naturally con- eluded that the Iowa court would bo sus tained. A I say , If the full text of the opln- U > u laa the dispatches indicate , wo will bo compelled to grant the new trial nsked for In the case of the state npilnst P. W. Fulkerof Marshall county. Until the opinion arrives I can only six-art conditionally , " Hon. A. II , Cainbell ] , ex-adjutant general , jwsslbly the most prominent' prohibition speaker in the state nnd a present candidate for congress , has taken a most melancholy view of the situation. "Tho opinion will simply result In n law , " ho said , "providing that no liquor Mmll ho sold in n state except by n man who has a license from the state to sell. Some years ago Senator Ingalls Intro duced a bill which provided flint the United Slutea should issue no government i > ennlt except to these nuthorl/cd by tile stuto to sell. Senator Wilson's bill , which has been favor ably reported uimn , will also settle the ques tion. It will simply transfer the theater of the fight to the congressional districts Instead of the courts. I do not think a third pitrty will bo necessary or that nn > thing can bo ac complished by a third party. " "What effect will the original package opinion have on the nuubmisslon movement in Kansas I" was asked President A. L. Allen of the state rcpubli.'an rosubmisslon clubs , "Tho effect will bo favorable , " was the reply , "and , as I bcllovc , Instantaneous. I believe the governor will now convene the legislature for an extra session and it is the only logical thing to do. Wo will have all the evils of the saloon system from this time on with no benefits. Unless wo have an extra session the traftlc will go unrestrained for the next two yours. The pdoplc , it occurs to mowlll now insist upon rcsubmlsslon in order that the importers' trafllo which will now spring up may bo suppressed nnd a system established which the state can regulate. The prohibitionists have now nothing to hope for and 1 believe the next repub lican convention will declare for high license. If It does not the result may bo disastrous. Thu people will no longer hold back the state for t ho Mika of empty sentiment. The ques tion will now present Itself to the thinking men : Shall we have the importers'trafllo unrestrained , or a high license system with proper regulations and restiictlonsl The im porter can .sell his jug of whisky with im- jiunlty to the minor and drunkard. With high license and proper regulation this can not ho done. The common-sense of the Kansas people will soon settle this question. The question abe occurs if wo are to have whisky and beer free why not manufacture them nt home } Why not Invite capital and give em ployment to our laborers I There can bo no reasonable excuse for shutting out distilleries and breweries when their products are brought hero and sold with impunity , and It will require something more than line spoken sentiment to hc'rcaftcr ' satisfy the peoplo. I look for the most marvelous growth now for the state of Kansas. " Mr. Buecher Sterne , state secretary of the rcKiibinissIon club , says : "I wisli to express to the Times the heartfelt thanks of the rc- submission clubs of Kansas. When I say this I .speak for every resiibmlssionist in the state. I do not think Governor Humphrey will now hesitate to call the extra session of the legis lature and I will wait upon him tomorrow. Wo will put in the place of prohibition an honest , common sense high House one that can and will control the liquor business. Wo will publish to the world that the wall has been torn down which has stood between the immigrant and the state , and wo will once moio bid him welcome.

T-ictter to MuKinlcy Criticising the Tariff ami Silver Bills. WASIIIXOTOK , April 30. Ualph Beaumont , chairman of the national legislative comniit- ee of the Knights of Labor , has written Major McKinley a letter criticising the pend- ng silver bill. Beaumont says in part ; On what ground of equity and justice docs four party decide to confer legal tender pow ers on these certificates for the purpose for which the national bunks desire to use them mtl icfuso the farmer : } nnd business men of , he country the same privilege } Beaumont then recalls the discrimination jctwccn the trade dollar and the standard dollar and says : "What is to hinder , under this bill , these same bankers from discriminating against : hlfl note , as it is only lenil tender for certain ; ) urposcs ! This bill creates money for bank- irs and notes for farmers. It is not notes the Farmers are in need of. They are already burdened down with notes. It is money they want with which they may liquidate -heir indebtedness to 'their bondsmen. [ insist , sir , that if you , as the leader of the house let this measure puss creating .hose certificates without conferring upon them full legal tender power to enablu these overburdened farmers to meet their obliga tions , you are guilty of committing a wrong , mil mark it , it is one that both you and your party will have to atone for in the coming congressional campaign. These ovcrbur- Icned tillers of the -soil are in no mood to bo .rilled with. They are desperate. "You , as tlio leader of your party in the louse , are on the point of pressing it measure through the house known as a tariff oill , which you say is to protect the tillers of the soil from ruinous competition from abroad , et mo again , I beg , warn you that since the ast campaign , which was fought outupon this ssiic , these same tiller * of the soil have como o thu conclusion that during that campaign thev were laboring under u delusion and have como to the further conclusion that it is not Yom competition from abroad fhat they are suffering , but on the contrary , it is from legal liscrlmination against them in the Interests of corporate wealth by just such unfair legls- alien as is contained in this bill.

I'llK Denies Tlint His Plnco Is In n Filthy Condition. Martin Wllg , the dairyman nt West Side , claiming that nn unaccountable error had IKICII made In the description of Ills dairy In Tuesday's Unu , a reporter went there yester day to look it over again , After looking nt the stock , which seemed to bo sleek and well fed , with the exception of 11 vo or six head re cently bought In the country , nnd which were rough nnd lean on account of tholr long win ter's rustling among the cornstalks , the sheds were visited. The shed nearest the house was nearly now , nnd cost $ X ) . It smclled quite clean fornco\v Shetland the Door planks were not unreasonably unclean. Across an alloy at the rear of this shed is another which might reasonably betaken ns belonging to the same property , but which Is owned by Nils Norllng , n dairyman , nnd to the north of it nnd not a foot away is ono Imlonging to O. Newstrom , tbo former housing sixteen and the latter eighteen cows. The Norllng shed was Indescribably lllthy , In tha comer was the well , surrounded by feed boxes ami a water box for cooling the milk. A pailful of the water drawn up smclled disgustingly of manure , nnd In the water box cans of milk without covers absorbed the stench of the water In which they were sunk. To the rear of this placa Is a manure plla at least eighteen feet deep , sloping towards the creek and covered with a thin layer of earth. In this iille , a few feet from the door , Is bur led the body of a cow. Under the hot sun the stench emitted was nauseating. The ro- iiortcr attempted to go to the edge of It to look down Into the creek but sank Into the lllth and scrambled out in lively style. The shed belonging to Newstrom was In about the same shape , with the exception that his cans are washed ut his house about lifty rods away. Norllng and Newstrom both water their stock fi-om the creek , Into which empties the drainage from the surrounding cowsheds. Anderson's place is just south of Norllng's , nnd is cleaner. The well in the corner of the shed has been boarded over , the cooling box removed to the yard , and a rough shelter of new boards thrown over it. IIo lias about twenty head of cattle in fair condition. The plaeo has been very recently cleaned up and about a foot of earth thrown upon n manure pile 11 f teen feet in depth. Wiig's well is some feet from his barn an d tasted dnd smclled clean. The cans , he said , wore scalded and washed thoroughly and these examined in his can house smclled sweet nnd clean. AVilg claims to huvo lost seventeen customers though the error in con founding Nordling's cowshed as ono of his , and was anxious to show everything about the place. The Spring Hill dairy was next visited and a somewhat surly consent given to the re quest for inspection. The sheds were not over clean , but the water used was clear ami pure , being forced by a ram from u spring at borne distance from the place. The cattle were poor and ragged looking , but apparently healthy. At the dairy of II. Nielsen twenty cows in good condition were found , and the sur roundings were neat und clean , The water is tillron ftvttil fi HTfill rtrn ufdn tilll tif rvim miil nf the sheds and was pure. The feed given the cattle was about the same at all the places , consisting of chopped feed , corn nnd malt mixed with water and' was in good condition.
