MR. LEVER SPEAKS FOR THE FARMERS LIKENS AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT TO JOHN THE BAPTIST. South Carolina Congressman, Speaking on Agricultural Appropriation Bill, Praises the Work of the Department and Demands Sqnare Deal for Farmers. Washington, March 24.?Consideration of the argricultural appropriation bill was begun in the house to(Tay. The amount carried by tiro measure is $11,431,44(5. Continuing his filibuster begun yesterday, Mr. Snl/.er, of New York, forced the reading of the bill. Several pages had boon read wlron Mr. Snl/.er withdrew his objection. No limit was placed upon general debate on the hill. The care with which the bill was drawn was 'explained by Mr. Lamb, ol" Virginia. In fact, he did not believe it possible for the senate to improve il. Mr. I.n.mb regretted that the hill made no provision for the Appalachian forest, reserve, "thus robbing the people of this county of the benefits that must accrue therefrom." The agricultural department, in the opinion of Air. Lewir, of South Carolina, a memlher of the committee on agriculture, was a veritable John the Baptist, whose zealous preachments are working a revelation in farm conditions, while al the same time it was a i:real niii versity, "whose teaching's are the inspiration and guidance ol the farmers of this country." .Air. Lever declared that there was a disposition to criticise and find I a ult with thi' bill because the increases carried by it were unusually large in the face of a financial unrest. It was no| (he farmers* panic, however, he said, lie had nol heard ol any farmer reducing waives or dismissing employees. Tlie farmers' product ions last year were the grealest in lli,- lite of the nation. "No friend of auricullure,'' lie claimed, "can jnstily a vote to curtail and hamper the farmers' department of the government, for, forsooth, the speculators and slock 'ramblers of AN all street are having a row and are now engaged in the delightful pastime of swallowing each oilier." The farmer, lie maintained, would continue lo make his annual coulrib* lions (o the nation's exchequer ' spile of railroad wars, crushing banks, depreciating slocks and bonds an<r financial crises." AIV. Lever spoke of the fertility of the soil in the Southern Stales, and said it was a mistaken MI?!a that l!l? agricultural products of the South must necessarily' /bo confined lo eollon, hill that such staples as wheal,'oats, corn, hay and cattle could be and were being raised with profit. -j Air. .1 Pangea, of Towa, made a plea ^ for the passage of an amendment \ providing for the placing on cans, ; pots and tins and other receptacles containing meat or food products of \a label staling the date when the contents placed therein. In that way, j lie said, the people would not he robins! of their lives and their health. The H-eef Trust, he declared, was against the amendment and there was danger that, any ono voting for it would nexit November find himself outside the breastworks, but he. eontended that members should placa themselves above tho desire to hold office by saving the lives of human Jbeings. The bill as rejK>rted by tho comimittee Arr. Candler, of Mississippi, declared, did not go far enough. Tie ^compared the appropriation for the agricultural department with the appropriations for other departments, and said I he fanners of the country were entitled lo belter consideration. MY. Candler charged that Speaker Cannon removed him from the agricultural commit tee despite the protests of Air. Williams, the minority leader, his colleagues and himself. He said, however, limit his interest in agriculture had not diminished. "Thank Cod,' lie e.vclaiined, "the speaker has not the power to prevent my being heard on the floor. Alillions of dollars," he said, "had been spent in brass buttons, battle ships and for show," to the neglect of development of the agricultural interests of the country, "and still taxing them enormously to sustain this maivcllous expenditure and not giving them back a duo return for tho money which they are paying out." Mr. Candler insisted that the farmers were not getting a squaro deal, lie urged a liberal appropriation for the development of tho agricultural interests, "not an extravagant oi useless appropriation," ho said; "nt an appropriation that would be foi tlie welfare of. the country." j The bill was laid aside for the day and the house adjourned. POINTS NOT SIMILAR. Authority of Dispensary 'Commission Different From That Assumed in Rate Cases. The State. <TJic decision of the United States supreme court, as announced in the State yesterday morning, in (lie Minnesota eases and the railway rate case from North Carolina, was read with more than usual interest by the people of Smith Carolina. There is uonv every probability that the case of the dispensary commission will go before the same tribunal and it was thought by many that the decision in llit> oilier eases threatened defeat for Attorney General Lyon and his associates. This view of the ease, however, is not taken by those interested and with pueslions that may differ widely when the final analysis is reached .it is s!ill believed that Judge I'ri I chard will be reversed and the oommision will be sustained. The ease as it stands now is about as follows : Judge rritehard has held that he has jurisdiction over the land now in the hands of the dispensary commission and has accordingly appointed ) receivers for this fund. In order to obtain a decision from the South Carolina supreme court Attorney General Lyon moved to mandamus the commission for the $15,UU0 appropriated for the prosecution of the "graft" cases. The Stale supreme court decided that the State of South Carolina alone had jurisdiction over 1 he money now in the hands of the commission in what lias been declared universally a very ably decision written by A social e .Justice Wood.s and concurred in by the entire court. Last week notice was served upon the attorneys for the whiskey houses; that on litis decision and upon other arguments motion would be made before Judge I'ritchard for revocation of t<!ie order appointing receivers. This motion will be made Kriday. Just what effect the decision of the! I niled Slates supreme court will have , upon Judge I'ritchard remains to be seen. Difference in Cases. The decision by that body related to the enforcement of railroad laws in Minnesota and in North Carolina, one being a habeas corpus case involving the attorney general of MinI uesota, and the other being the enI forcemenl of the rale law in North ''Carolina, which it was held by Judge I'ritchard was in violation of tl.e jurisdiction of the federal courts. When the decisions were announced, therefore, it was believed by many w hohad not read the eases that it 'would a floe I tiie case now pending, involving the dispensary commission. (iov. Ansel, when asked about the lease yesterday, said that he had not as ye! studied the ease, being informed only by the newspaper reports so far. but lie did not believe that the Soivth Carolina ease was affected in any way by the decisions, the points at issue being entirely different. Assistant Attorney General , DeBrnhl took the same view of the matter, believing tha?t the officers of the law in both eases decided acted without the authoniity of the law, and no point of State jurisdiction was raised. Attorney General Lyon was not in the city. Mr. Folder'b View. The law firm of Anderson, T\?lder, Uountree & Wilson of Atlanta, also representing the dispensary commission and the State, was ask<ed for an opinion on the matter and their reply was as follows: "There is no analogy between the Minnesota and North Carolina cases recently decided by the supreme court of the United States and the suit brought against the dispensary commission. In the former cases the court *s decision is in a line with other decisions rendered by it. holding that where an officer of the State acts without authority of law he is acting in his individual capacity and a suit against him is not a suit against the State. In the South Carolina cas? the' effort made is to administer upon properly belonging to the Stale of South Carolina and to any suit having this end in view (lie Sta'.e is an indispensable party and such a suii would necessarily be a suit against the State. The principle determined iu the former has no application whatever to the latter." Tho Dissenting Opinion. The dissenting opinion by Justice Harlan on the eleventh amendment to the constitution may possibly have some bearing on the South Carolina case, although the principles involved | are not affected in the two appeals , passed upon.
