It wi be a twelve or fifteen page pamphle and the contract calls for 1,00G copies.

If the; are honest in their advocicy of proh bition they cannot consistently sign petition to establish a dispensary; fc they will not only then be favorin the sale of wh skey, but they will b petitioning to become partners in th sale thereof and sharing in the profil of the same. The way to test prohib, tion is to have no dispensary, and the is left to the fieeholders of the town.

The State has won the railroad case in the Supreme Court in the prelim nary skirmish. -The only questio decided, as we understand.it, is the the Supreme Court had no jurisdictio: because the amount involved in eac case taken up was less than $2,00( The decision does not touch the meri( of the case at all. There should be and can be no jubi lation over the decisioa, even on th part of those who favor the Admini tration. All persons who have an al preciation of fairness and justice war to see the railroads dealt justly witi The question is, or should be, have th assessments of the railroad propert been unequal as compared with th valuation placed on other property That is the question that should b determined. If the assessment of thi property is on a par with other propei ty, then the railroads should pay thei taxes; -and if they will not, then the should be made to. If it is not on par with other propertj, then the should not be made .to pay this 'extr tax. And no one who has a spark< fairness and impartiality left in hit would want to see them pay more tha: their proportion of taxes. Every 'class of property should b made to pay its proportion of taxatior and no more. "Equal rights to all ;special privi leges to none-," however, has come t be more of a slogan for the stomp an to fool the people with than to put i: practice.

The Supreme Court of the Uited Stata Cuts the Matter Short by Declaring that it has no Jurisdiction over the Matter. [special to the News Courier.] WAsHINGTON, January 12.-Durir the argu menit of the South Carolir cases in the Supreme Court to-da Chief Justice Fuller stopped the cour sel for the railroads with the announc ment that the Court has no jurisdictio in the case. This was a great surpris to the array of counsel present repri senting the railroads and the State ai thorities, and the decision of the Coul will probably cause the Tillmanites 1 rejoice, for it is a justilication to a ce tain extent of their methodsof taxatioi The Chief Justice stated, hioweve that the. Court was not prepared to' g into- the merits of the case, but wt convinced that the Court has nojuri diction, and therefore further argi ment would be unnecessary. TFl sudden termination of the argumen after the counsel had been detai here since last Friday, occasioned eor siderable disappointment, especiall among the railroad men. Mr. Lord opened the argument C behalf of the State authorities, an upon the conclusion of hisTemarks IM Smith proceeded to present the argt ment for the railroads. Immediatel certain members of the Court plied M Smith with questions, all of whic seemed to indicate~ that the Coo doubted its jurisdiction to deal wit the question involved. After 1i Smith finished his argumen't Mr. Fit simmonsalso representing the railroad began to supplement and reinforce ti statements made by Mr. Smith. In ti midst of this argument the (Chil Justiceheld a whispered consultatic with his Associates and then annlounce that the Court did not care to hei further argument, as it was' clearly the opinion that it had no jurisdictic to consider the Case. Mr.Barron was to have followed M Fitzsimmons on behalf of the railroad and then Speaker Jones was to ha' made the cling argument for t.i State. The action of the Court to-day practically reverses the decision of the o Court below, which was in favor of the " railroads. Those who are familiar witb d the practice of the Supreme Court say1 k that the announcement of the Chief Justice that the refusal to hear further r argument without passing upon the merits of the case cuts but little figure in the proceedings. The failure of the Court to take jurisdiction in itself vir tually decides the case in favor of the State authorities. R. M. L. TILLMAN IS TICKLED. [Special to News and Courier.] COLUMBIA, January 13.-There was e I considerable surprise and great rejoicing e in the State House this morning over the announcement in The News and Courier that the United States Supreme Court had thrown out the famous rail d,road tax cases. The first news of the Court's position came through The News and Courier and was a welcome New Year's gift to the mainstays of the Administration. Governor Tillman e read a congratulatory telegram to the d newspaper "boys" and was as happy as be has been in months. When asked what he thought about the present outlook he replied that it was hardly v any use for the railroads to kick after L their heads had been cut off. He hardly had any idea that there would be any t further litigation about the matter, and V thought that the railroads wou!d now - gracefully submit to the inevitable. a TOWNSEND NOT SO SANGUINE. r -Attorney General Townsend was brim full of good humor and expressed g his delight at the decision, although he e did not yet exactly know what bearing e the forthcoming decision would have a on the other eases. Major Townsend said that the first news he had of the matter was through the columns of t The News and Courier. He did not exactly know what questions of juris diction would be decided. The result of the pending cases would depend he thought entirely on the text of the g decision. fl A RAILROAD MAN'S VIEW. - Mr. J. T. Barron, general counsel of d the Atlantic Coast Line, who was in Washington attending the hearing, d said that it was mere guess work to say s whether the forthcoming decision o would settle the cases or not. The deci sion may only be upon the question of jurisdiction in the two cases presented. It is expected here that the decision in a the case will be announced la the next - few days. WHAT THE SUPREME COURT DECIDED. -ONLY THE QUESTION O JURIS -DICTION-THE RAIL ROAD CASES YET OPEN ,BUT FUTURE ACTION DOUBTFUL. [The News and Courier.] The termination of the rail road tax cases in the United States supreme court on Thursday was not wholly un e expected. The cases were brought by . the rail roads about a year ago, in the United States circuit court for this State, and went to bhe supreme court t on appeal. . The rail roads contested the right of e the State to tax them in accordance with the arbitrary and excessive valua tions made by the State rail road board e of equalization. The circuit court of the ? United States decided in favor of the e rail roads. The State selected two of the cases de s cided by the circuit court, and appealed to the supreme court, on the ground that r the circuit court had no jurisdiction in the cases, because in neither of them' was the disputed tax in any county in excess of $2 000, and that the circuit i court of the United States could not a take jurisdiction unless,the excess tax g in dispute in each county exceeded the sum of $.2000. TEhe main stress of the argument for the State in the sapreme C court was on this jurisdictional point, and the argument of counsel in opposi ton was directed to it. After the counsel for the State had 4 made their argument and the counsel for the rail roatIs had also argued, the -chief justice announced that the court did not care to hear any further argu Sment from the counsel for the State, from which the inference is drawn that -the court took the view that the circuit court below had no jurisdiction, inas much as the tax. in dispute did not ex eeed in any case the sum of $2.000O, and it is supposed that the decision of the. a supreme court will be in accordance .with this view. - It Till be seen, therefore, that the de cion is on the purely,technical ques tion as to the jurisdiction of the United .States circuit court, and in no manner touches the question really at issue be tween the State and rail roads, and r does not affect the other rail road cases Sin which the 'dispute'd tax exceeded .t $2,000, and in which no appeal has been taken. The deision settles no question of law and no principle of justice the merits of the case not having been dis a cussed or adjudicated. So long as the s Siate can make the difference between e its assessment of rail road property in a county and the assessment whbich the law and the constitution permit it to 'make less than $2,000, there will be no d opportunity to haverbhe wrong righted gin the courts of the United States. LTENCH3NICA LITY OF THE GASE. o Seeelal to Sunday News.[ CotraBIA, January 14.-A gentle man who be tjust returnxed here from Wasigto says that he can see. no n special reaso wh~y thiere sho,uld be any twith refere-nt to 't te raiiro.ad tax casi"s. 5, He said that s-- :&r 's h,e could learn s te Court dist: i : e.ou, eed that it did no:t pa.ss upm ). i: ! meri's (of the ease, and thait :he 'i:s! we- thrown sout mierely t-e<--ut-- 'of the technicality that over $2,000l w:&. not involved. He further stated t hat thbe Court had ex presed itself in priate thait it was fa voable to the railro~ads on the merits ~s of the ease. The State's co0nl8C noW seems to he sorry that it did niot take ot'-r ceasis on which to get a decision and in t bat wx'y finally settle the whole matter.tha Of' course iisrecognized thtthe Supreme Court may make some an nouncement as to the merits of the a cases wbich were in a measure dis e ussed, and in that way finally dispose Sof the entire matter. The lawyers, as Swell as the general public, are carefully n -watching for the announcement of the SSupreme Court. - SIARBIED IN PHIL;ADELP'HIA. A) The Rev. Dr. Holland, of Charleston,, s.

IRBY GOES TO SEE CLEVELAND. Penitential Piigrinage of the Chosen Anti- A Cileeland : epresentative in South Carolina. [Special to News and Courier. s3 WASHINGTON, January 13.-Senator 1 Irby expects td''leave here to-morrow cc nigbt for New York. He is to be accom- T panied by Senator Vilas. and it is un- ti derstood they have an appointment to of call upon Mr. Cleveland together. The fa fact that Senator Vilas is the most in- w fluential friend Mr. Cleveland has in in the Senate gives additional signficance at to the visitation of Senator Irby. al Neither of the Senators named is in- fe clitred to talk about the proposed trip ai to New York further than to say they dt are going to New York for a few days in and together, and to call on and pay their respects to Mr. Cleveland. It is quite probable thatSenator Irby will haue a free conversation with Mr. Cleveland about the political situation. uI in South Carolina from a Tillman ti standpoint, and he will probably en- li deny ir to explain why the south Caro- ti lina delegation opposed his (Cleve- h< land's) nomination at Chicago and N then turned around and gave the T. Democratic ticket cordial support. eC [It is not correct to say that the n' South Carolina delegation to Chicago F after the failure of their efforts to defeat se Mr. Cleveland and their return to el South Carolina "cordially" supported a Mr. Cleveland. Neither the Tillman m leaders nor the Tillman following "cor- eC dially" supported Mr. Cleveland. They bi voted for him, but they redeclared their b] allegiance to the Ocala platform for at opposition to which they had de- b nounced Mr. Cleveland and showed ti in everyway possible that his nomina- 0 tion was distasteful to them.-Ed. The fe N. and C.] b Those w4o have, conversed with Mr. n Cleveland since his election say he does not propose to do anything that 9( will encourage factional fighting with- ti in the ranks of the Democratic party. fi He will, of course, remember his 01 friends who were loyal to him first, s last and all the time, and he will also E give fair recognition to that element in tl his party that opposed his nomination. q One of his closest friends in the House t4 said to-day : "Mr. Cleveland will en deavor to conduct his administration 0 in the Interest of the entire Democratic J party without regard to factions. He t can afford to be magnanimous without ai deserting his tried and true friends." tr The result of Senator Irby's visit will b be watched with peculiar interest by b South Carolinians, who fully under- of stand the position. he occupied prior to " the Nominating Convention. He prob- F ably realizes that to be a Democratic b4 Senator and exercise any influence for - the good of his State he must put be hind him whatever differences he may have with his political enemies at 1 home. Local factional controversies j cut no figure in national politics at Washington. Senator Irby during the present ses son has steadfastly maintained that he- does not expect to be the sole dis penser of' the Federal patronage for South Carolina during the coming Ad ministration. All he seeks is a fair and equitable distribution of the fruits of victory among the Democrats of his State without regard to their local affiliations. He does not expect his R wing of the party to get the lion's share, nor does he expect the Anti-Till' manites to have a monopoly of the offices at the disposal of Mr. Cleveland. [Senator Irby really does not deserve any consideraition at the hands of the' coinin Administration.-Ed. The N. and C.]. Is IRBY TO serrLE IT ALL Now?7 [Specsal to The Register.] p WasHINGTON, D. C., Jan.13.-Sen ator Vilas and Senator Irby will leave y' here' to-morrow night for New York. There is considerable speculation - among the South Carolina colony, to s whom the proposed visit is known, as to what is its object. The fact Is that the senators are to call on President-elect Cleveland, who ji has named Tuesday next as the day for the interview. It is very probable,that there will be some news' of rather more than ordi nary interest to the people of South -1 Crrolina developed after Senator Irby's j talk with the President-elect, and ase Senator Vilas is Mr. Cleveland's closest eo and warmest friend in the senate- al HEMPHILL HEADS OFF IRBY. C [Special to News and Courier.] ' WASHINGTON, January 16.-Repre- o sentative John J. Hemphill has been ~ to New York to talk over the political ~ situation in South Carolina with Mr. Cleveland. He went last Friday by q appointment with Ex-Governor Hugh. ' Thompson, and they called upon the a President-elect at his office in the MillsP building. Mr. Hemphill did not know any- t thing of Senator's Irby's contemplated CJ visit to Mr. Cleveland when he started for New York, but, as it turned out, the former was several days ahead of the Senator and probably told Mr. ' Cleveland all that was worth -knowing so far as South Carolina is concerned. In referring to his visit Mr. Hemphill says he had more than an hour's con versation with Mr. Cleveland, and during that time the political situation in South Carolina was.freely discussed.F Mr. Cleveland displayed a keen interest in the affairs, of the State, as he prob ably remembired the able assistance he received from South Carolinians during his first Administration. He was not] disposed to commit himself with regardb to t.e dis'tribution -of patronage in the b State, further t han to Qay that he pro- a posed to see to it that|the best available " men are chosen for the Federal offices.. s He said he proposed to administer the ~ affairs of the Governmwent for the bene-A fit ofthe whole'people, and wudnot undertake to encourage factional con-F troversies within the ranks of the De- C mocratic party. He expressed himself quite freely against Ocalaismo, and in-q timnated that he knew who his truen friends are in South Carolina. a The conversation was exceedingly P agreeable, and much was said - that tn cannot be properly, reported at this t time. Mr. Hemiphill reached tne con elusion that Mr. Cleveland fully under- P stands the situation in South Carolina, and he will not allow himself to be de ceived by false friends. R. M.
