C., May 9.?Almost in the twinkling of an eye yesterday the liquor situation went from one extreme to the other, from free liquor te absolute prohibition. For the first time in history, perhaps, a State has been carried for the cause of prohibition In less than three minutes, and by an unprecedented accident the prohibitionists of South Carolina have obtained their hearts' content. By this accident of v the law South Carolina is found today ^ with a prohibition law forbidding the } sale of liquor absolutely, and providiug penalties for the violation of the law, which, if properly. applied, will produce prohibition. Up to 11 o'clock yesterday the liquor men were handling liquors in their sa-1 loons without paying any license and | without any knowledge as to whether there was in the distance any road to the traffic or not. Eleven months ago hey were selling liquor under a license ( rlaw of over ten years standing. Then ! i came alone the dispensary system for I the control of the liquer traffic, and soon came with it the reign of the blind tiger system. This kept up until three weeks ago when another great! J' 1 tt? change came, xne uiapcuaat> went a glimmering under the decision J of the Supreme Court. The blind tiger j died a natural death and departed from | the soil of South Carolina and the reign of the free liquor system began, j ? " The life of this latter system, a3 far as the law is concerned, has been but ieeting. Now the final extreme has been reached. The changes have been ~ numerous, sudden and unexpected. The law of tbe land, ;i3 declared by the highest tribunal, provides that there sbali be ne sale of liquor, anil that-if anv man sells liquor contrary ? to that provision he shall be punished ?' just the same as if he had violated the license law of 1880. As to wbo is going - - ? ? - i i to enforce this new ana acciaeuuu iaw xemains to be seen. It appears to be the daty of the sheriffs, trial justices and their constables and the police of the municipalities to enforce the law, and no doubt it will be done. It is a State law, too, and if Governor Tillman took as much Interest in it as he did in his dispensary law he will very likely have a hand in this. The indications are, however, that the real en forcement of the law will be left to the prohibitionists, and the various ciry and town governments in the State. It iscertaioly a novel condition of affairs, and tbe people will not yet have time to realize that they are under the rule of prohibition. The liquor men all say that they canuot do anything until they see what the decision is, but thty must obey the law and dose up their places. All of the saloons in Columbia remalned wide open up to the usual clos/ " lug hour last night, and there were no - f' elemeats of tfce new system of prohi ? _ bition to be observed, but the change fHvnA A member of ths ^ State prohibition executive committee stated yesterday that if no one else attempted to proceed against the saloon keepers the prohibitionists would act in a day or two. The opinion of all leading attorneys is that the iaw, as it was declared by the Supreme Court yesterday, iceans that no liquor shall be sold within tne State; that the'clause of the old license law which gives the right to issue li censes ha<s~alone been knocked out,, and ?hat all other clauses of this license law stand. In consequence all tte penalties, etc., provided lor selling Iquor without a license apply now to the sale of liquor in any manner. This gives South Carolina the distinction of having the only prohibition law ever ccncocted, perhaps which has no regulations about bringing liquor into the State, no provision for the sale of whiskey as a medicine, and all the other features usually emt^ced in a' prohibition law. It is a noticeable fact that Justice Pope concurred in the decision of the court. The court, when it says what it does In its decision, assumes that the dispensary law of 1893 is as dead as a mackerel, and so conalders it. Yesterday morning when the hour of 11 chimed, the people who were expecting the announcement of the court's decision in the Florence cases began to get into the court room as rapidly as possible. The justices entered promptly, and the Chief Justice did not wait i for the spectators to get into the room t before he said: "The court will an? nnnnrtA its decision in the two Florence cases heard jesterday which decisicm 1 will apply to both cases, they being Rr "? - heard together. The court thus | promptly announces its decision be9 cause tne liberty of the citizen is inyoked." The Chief Justice then opened a folded paper he had in his hand, and read the decision as follows: The State of South Carolina. In the Supreme Court. April term, 1894? J. L. Barringer et. al, vs. The City Couucil of Florence, ex parte, J.Ellis Branson. r'l'nese two cases lDswiuieu iu me . original jurisdiction of this court being of a kindred nature, though not involving the same questions were heard and will be considered together. The first is a case asking for an injunction to restrain the city council of Florence from granting licenses for the sale of spirituous liquor3, upon the ground that there is no iaw now authorizing ttie granting of such licenses, and therefore that threatened action of said city council in this respect is ultra vires. The second is a case in which the Ipeuuoaer aypue?, uuuci a ? habeas corpus, beretofore issued tor his discbarge irom custody in which he is held under a warrant issued by the mayor of the city of Florence, who is invested by the charier of said city with all the powers of a tiial iustice. charging the petitioner with selling spirituous liquors wiihout a license, in violation of an ordinance of tee city, V" as well as in violation of the laws of the State. Inasmucn as one of these cases involves the liberty ol tne citizen th^s court deems it to be its duty to render as prompt a decision as possible. The court will, therefore, proceed simply to decide the question presented iD these cases, wKbout undertaking now to give the reasons for the conclusions which will, howtver, be hereafter domin an opinion which wiil be prepared and filed as soon as practicable. The court decides that uoeer the Jaw as it now stands, there is no authority > . invited witn tbe power to grant licenses for the sale of spirituous liquors wittim trie limns or i?jis stair, auu hence the action of the city council of Florence in granting such licenses would be ultra vires and acsolutely void, and therefore the injftnction, as M asked for by the petitioners, in t he case first named must be granted. in the second case the petitioner (p'"^ moves for his discharge from custody upon the ground tbat th*-re is no law forbiddlDg the sale of spirituous liquors within the limits of this State. This court decides that this is a mistaken view of the law. On the contrary we hold that the act of 1892, commonly callc d the dispensary acl.having been declared unconstitutional m all its provisions, except that forbidding the grantine of licenses to sell spirituous liquors, after the day therein r.l OOC f\f t h 14 f uaiuru, llic tcpcaiiu^ v>iuuuwj v* v^t?v act fall, and must be regarded as ii' never enacted, and hence the previous law forbidding the sale of spirituous liquors without a license remains of torce, under which the petitioner may lawfully be indicted. In addition to tills he may aslo be proceedsd against for a violation of the ordinance of the city of Florence mentioned ia the warrant under which he has been arrested and is now held in custody. It is, therefore, ordered that, in the case first named in the title of this order, an injunction do issue as prayed frtr in this npf.if.ion. It is further ordered that, in the second case named in the title thereof, the motion of the petitioner for a discharge be refused; and that the said J. Ellis Branson be remanded to the custody cf the chief of police of the city of Florence to be by him safely kept until he is thence delivered by due ~ course of law. This eighth day of May, 1894.

As the Chief Justice concluded reading there was a puzzled look on every w>rnit?nar?>s Manv hud net fullv Un derstood the meaning of the decisios. As the Chief Justice laid the paper down he turned to the gentlemen of the bar in the most business like manner and said: "Are there any motions to be heard this morning, gentlemen V" He did not have the appearance of a man who had, by uttering about six hundred words, placed a whole State under a new prohibition law. In a short time the news of the decision was all over the city and nothing else has been talked of since. The prohibitionists seemed to be greatly aeiigatea at naving secured prohibition, accidental though it be.?State. GOVERNOR TILL3IAN TALKS. Shortly after the decision was filed a copy of it was taken to Governor Tillmao, and he was asked point blank what he had to say about the change in the situation and the enforcement of the new law. The Governor said: "I am glad that we know what tLe law is at last, and will be able to stop all this floundering about in the sea of uncertainty. I am only sorry that they did not leave me the constabulary to help enforce it" "Well, what will you do to enforce obis law ?" was asseu. The Governor replied: "What mashinery have I got to do anything with. The sheriffs and police are under other yfficers. They are not under my control. I can only ler.d my m >ral support to the law and what official support I mav have, but I wish you would tell me what authority I've got. i, ??f course, want to see this law enforced just as much as any other law." "Governor isn't your proclamation takiDg cootrol of the police of the towiiB and cities of force >et?" "My proclamation," said mr brjvernor "was only of force uutil the dispensary iaw wbs dfciarrd' ff That law bfiug no longer law, I have no longer povfer to enforce it." "Bat yon could reissue that proclamation now and make use of it to enforce the prohiDition law couldn't you." "How could I do that? The necessity dops not now exist for issuing the proclamation." "Well suppose the municipal authorities fiod they cannot enforce the law, what then? "Vnn are taking for srramed that they cacnot." "Yes, I am." The Governor then said:. "Well we had better wait and see before vre undertake to discuss idealities. I'm no? discussing emergencies that might arise six months hence. I never undertake to cross a bridge until I get to it. I have no machinery to enforce this law. Before, I had machinery. I took charge of the local police then for a specific purpose, the emergency having arisen.

Some of the representatives \ who were earlier in their seats crowd- ; ed about him, but when their curiosity was satisfied they dropped away one by ] one, and left him alone with Pence. At 11 o'clock Coxey appeared before the House Committee on Labor. Coxey laid before the committee a , petition bearing the signatures of his followers, the character of their occupations aud their place of residence It was written on paper bearing the letter head of the army of the common- 1 weal. At the top of the page were 1 printed in bold, black letters, the mot- ( toes, "Good Roads," "Good Money," 1 "Good Work." Beneath this appeared 1 a single line?"Commonweal of Christ." The petition is dated at "Camp Ty ranny, in the field, Washington, D. C., * May 9,1894," and reads as follows: "We, 1 the undersigned, citizens of the United ' States of America, now sojourning in ( the District of Columbia, which is not 1 only the asylum of oppressed by all na- ! tions, but our natural home, do hereby 1 respectfully petition your honorable I body to allow Brother J.

Coxey good roads and non-interest bearing bond bills, and which we believe, if passed by Congress, would not only soive the present prevalent business depression, give employment to us, representing as we do all branches of industry of many millions more like us all over the union, but would effectually, we believe, provide against any possible recurrence of the extraordinary condition now existing in the industrial and business arteries of the nation which it seems plain to us, if not remedied, will bring death to republican institu txons or revolution to muu^iu wcu by force or arms, which all mast de- 1 plore." ( Coxey's petition was read bv the j clerk, the members of the committee 1 following the reading carefully. Carl 1 Browne came m as the clerk finished 1 and seated himself beside Coxey. '' Mr McGann, the cbairman of the I committee, said tne petition would ( have to go to the special committee. 1 which they hoped to nave rormeu lu investigate the eatire subj-ct of the iD- ' dustrial depression. Coxey then touk ( the floor and started to address the ( committee, tie had only proceeded 1 a momr-nt when th^ members began 1 questioning him. His replies to these ' queries were r-ioablia^ and unsarisfac J tury.Tbe impression made by him upun ! tbecommittesi was obviously not a flattering oue.

He Is a Tariff RoTorraer and Favora No Such Aboitlon as the Tariff Bill Agreed Upon br the Democratic Senators.?He Talks Oat. Wbshington, May 9.?At ten minutes past one o'clock yesterday in the Senate the tariff was taksn up and a long interesting discussion took place on the pending amendment, to insert in the enacting clause of the bill, the words, "or withdrawn for consumption," so that It will read that "the dirties provided in the act will be levied' collected and paid upon all articles imported from foreign countries or withdrawn for consumption afcer the 30th of June, 18&L" The amendment was attacked on tee "Republican side of the chamber as making a gift of between 83,000,000 and ?4,000,000 to the owners of imported goods now in warehouses, and was defended on the Democratic side as being just and equitable and in accordance with existing law. Hale and Aldrich commented upon the fact that members of the finance committee on either side disagreed with each other as to the amendment and taunted the Democrats with iofi delity to their platform, which had declared protection in the United States to be uuconstitutional and to be a fraud. The taunt had an immediate effect upon Mills, who took the floor as soon as Aldrich had finished his remarks, and iu a passionate and excited manner, referred to his speech several or ooira a in whif.h he declared him 3elf to be (as between tbe McKioley act and the Wilson bill), "between tbe devil and the deep sea," and said: "A change has come over the spirit of the situation?not over my spirit. I have Qot got as much sea room as on that occasion. I find that the bill pending before us is not the Wilson bill but a bill which ought, perhaps, to bear the honored name of the Senator from Maryland (Gorman), or of tbe Senator from Ohio (Brice). Xo man can torture me into the admission that the bill pending before this body is ia any respect an answer to pledges made by the Democratic national convention to the Democratic people of the United States.

The very first change Is made from an ad valorem to J specific system; and that runs alonp through the whole bill.

[ repeat what I said before, that 1 will vote against these amendments; out, that when they are incorporated in the bill, I will vote for the bill if it has five Dents of redaction in It, as a choice between the two. "The Democratic party said to the people in 1892, that protection is a fraud, and that the party was in favor Df honest taxation for revenne alone, and there is where I stand. I want to make an honest effort to redeem that pledge and I do not intend to go backward. I would rather vote to reduce the duties imposed by the Wilson bilL Every one of them is high enough. I would have put more articles oa the free list. I would have reduced the cost Df production on our manufactories so that we could take the markets ot the world ana give employment to tae peuple in honest work'in factories instead af having them walking the streets and 3omiDg to Washington to tell the govarnmentof their distress?a distress which the protective tariff has pat apon them. "Yon may pile up duties in this bill to any extent you please, and, if it is my better than the McKinley act, I will vote for it. But do not try to make ;t just as bad as it can be made before [ vote for it. I felt it necessary to file ;his caveat and let Democrats, who are nakxng this bill, understand that I am aot responsible for this measure, and ;hat I do not intend to assume t&e responsibility. I want the gentlemen ivho have demanded this measure to stand up in the open daylight aDd ;ake the responsibility foi the amendments which they have forced upon this Dill." There was some applause in the galleries at the close of the speech. Of ;he twoJDemocratic Senators especially Jingled out by Mr. Mills, Gorman was :he only one in the chamber, but he simpty smiled and was not moved to make any remark in reply. The pending amendment was then igreed to without any further discussion, and without a division. Then r,nrim? (R.jsn_i nf Massachusetts offered wvov \^-rv the amendment, of which he bad previdusIv given notice, a3 follows: "Except that when not in contravention of any existing treaty, any article made dutiable in the folio wing sections shall, if the product or manufacture of Great Britain, or of any of tbe colonies 3f tfrean Britain, pay a duty douole that herein imposed*; and if any article apon the free list in the preceding section, shall, if tbe product or manufacture of Great Britain, pay a dmy of 35 per cent ad valorem; and such additional and discriminating dunes shall rt main is force until Great Britain shall I assent to and take part in an internHtional agreement, together wi<h the United States, for the' coioage and use of silver aod s^all cease whenever Great Britain .snail assent to and cake part iu sued international agreement tor tbe coinage of silver " Half a d- ?en Senators spoke upon tbis amenrmrnt.

I have been an ardent advocate o( the Alliance demands during my entire political career. I regard the enactment of the demands into law as the only salvation for the South and Wesl from absolute slavery to the Eastern shvlocks.

Very truly yours, John Gary Evans. D;. Timmerman also sent in a reply, but inasmuch as he is considered entirely out of the race it is useless to say more |than thai he does not agree to the second of the questions. The State campaign seems to be at a standstill lust now on account of State Chairman Irb'y delay in calling a meeting of the State executive committee to appoint the campaign meetings. The leaders oa the other side say that Ellerbe has grown, very much in strength ail over the State in the last month or ho, and that the fiaal race is going to be narrowed down between him and John Gary Efans.

It would appear that everything is'sk^iog ; itself for an u>ly and personal campaign, and no better service could be done by the first audience than to show its displeasure at the first exhibition of personal abuie or insinuation. As things are now muddled it is very hard to foretell whaKwilbbs ia the political p>t in a tim#? .Inst ahnnfc this tim? things ere in a kind of transitory condition and are getting down to a tocos preliminary to the battle royal. Woo will lead the hosts is yet unknown. Aside from the Senatorial contest naturally the chief interest is in'the Gubernatorial raca. Oae factor seems to be pretty certain, and that is that John Gary E?ans, of dispensary fame, will be in the race and will take the leadership cf one of the fictions of the "Reform era." Wao will oppose mm is uncer- "-T&M tiua. It now looka as if it will be either - * j.M Comptroller General Ellerbe or Conpressman John L. McLaurin. Btcent happenings would indicate that Mr. McLauria will be in the field, and if he does come out it will be anythiDg but a timid campaign between ' himself and Senator John Gary E7ans. It seems frota whal ^ can be heard at this end of the line that most of the original candidates have dropped out, although every now and Lhen some one says that Secreiary of State Tindall will come in on the home stretch as a dark horse and win the nomination. Of course Senator W. DaWitt Evans has to be taken into account ifa in all calculations, although it Is said that he expects to retire. This may, however, be eallrely campaign talk. Now what are the Anti-AdmiuistraHon forces s;oict2 to do? That is by no oaeans a certainty. It has all along v been thought that they would keep out jf the contest this year and allow the ribmanites to fi?ht it out among them- ? - ^ selves.

There are a ereat many Di.hers, uad perhaps ihe majority, who uhiok that for ihe present at least it is best to wait oo developments. Then the Prohibitionists have to be taken into consideration.
