Moorbeard et al. The Portner ~'> . Brewing Co. vs. J. E. Moorheard et ai. These four cases, differing somewhat :y . in detail, have been heard together. |> They all present the same question, Whit ie an magical package ? acid be fore any of the*e can be decided this * question mnst be first settled. ?ry It has been established by decisions k which cannot now be questioned that ? ; fiqoor imported into a State are ?object \: : -to the exercise of its police power, V*. whether broogbt in original packages : or otherwise. And that when the use : of intoxicating liquors as a beverage bas been forbidden by State law as in? jurious to thc health, welfare of the State, no sale of snch liquor caa be made within that State, for such pur? pose, by aoy one either resident or im? porter. It has further been established I by the d?cision of the supreme court /y that the dispensary law of South Caro? lina does not declare the use of intox? icating liquors as a bever age iojarious to toe health, welfare and the safety of the State. That, on the contrary, the > State itself imports io quantities 2nd sells at a profit intoxicating liquors for use aaa beverage. That the prohibition by the State itself or with the consent of tbe State, is not the exercise of the police power, ' botan interference with and a regula? tion of interstate commerce. That under the Constitution of the Uoit?d States such ioterference and regulation are void. But the police . power begins wheo interstate com? merce ends Tbe imported article wheo it coates into a State and becomes mingled with the other property of the State becomes subject to ail i o fra state commerce regulations. And io Sooth Carolina the State, in the full and law? ful exercise of her police power, has both io the Constitution and in the dis? pensary act. made soch regulations whick must ba obeyed. Ioterstate com? merce protect? only that which is tbe subject of commerce, which is trans? poned over the lines of ioterstate com? munication, and only so long as it pre? serves the form and remains the exact j subject of importation. When it is I broken or wheo it changes its form, wheo it passes from the importer to the boyer, it ceases to be an article of io? terstate commerce and no longer enjoys j its protection A cask of brandy may be imported j into a State whose laws recognize that j iotoxicatiog liquors can be advantage? ously used as a beverage ; and in that form can be sold by the importer. But be cannot change the form of the pack? age, nor open it, nor draw from it, nor ' sell parts of it. He can only deal with it as a whole, if the State laws reg?late or cootrol, or allow the sale on ooodi tioo or in a prescribed method, of in- j toxicating liquors as a beverage. And j unless the State laws permit it, no pur? chaser of the imported cask can sell. or dispose of it to another in any way in whole or in part. The original package only being pro- j tected under the law of ioterstate com? merce, the question, what is an origi? nal package, is of grave importance. Io arriving at a conclusion on this i question DD aid is giveo from acts of | coogresss, as is afforded io ascertaining j what is an original paokage in dbe mat? ter of cigarettes, another article of in? terstate commerce which frequently i vised statutes bas prescribed what s I be au original package of cigarel ? No similar provision has been c. ' any where with regard to liquors. ! this reason the cases quoted relating I cigarettes cannot aid us. (In re Mi ?69 Fed. Rep.. 235. State vs I Gregor., 76 Fed. Rep., 957. State Goeize, 27, So. E Rep , 225 ) AD examination of the large tua of case9 which have beet! quoted counsel shows that the question ut discussion is largely a question of f determinable by the circumstances each case. A text writer iin the Au ?can and English Encyclopedia of L Vol. 17, says : "An original pack within the sense of the interstate' c coerce regulations is the uobro package imported into a State from other State or a foreign country bel by sale or otherwise it gets into mass of the general property io State " The form cr size of the package importer determines for himself Si vs. Winters, 25 Pacific Rep (Kans 235 However small the package o be, so ioog as it is an original pack* it is protected. (In re Reine, 42, F Rep. ?45) If, however, the package as put by the importer contains a number ofiher and smaller packages, each se ! ed, such as beer bottles io a birre!, ! wine or whiskey io a case, to wh would the term original package app the bettles (each) or the barrel or bo The decided cases are not unifn iu their answer to this question State vs. Keith, 91 Ala., these wc the facts: *'The liquor was shipp by Lowentha! & Co , wholesale a retail liquor dealers residing in Nae ville, Tenn , in half pint, pint at quart bottles. The bottles we separately wrapped in tissue pape each labeled "original package" wi the name of the importer and sh ip pi in an open box with hay laid bet wei them, each box marked with the nut ber of bottles, and their sizes, co tained therein. From'the bill of la ing in evidence it appeared that tl box contained 1,075 bottles and : jugs of liquor, and that shipped the same time were 20 casks contai ing bottles of beer and three casi containing bottles of ale. This w; done to facilitate shipment. Ric sold whiskey as the agent of irapor er by the single bottle wrapped at labelled as stated. After an elabora opinion the court held that the J>ox< and barrels, not the bottles, wei original packages. ? similar 3*d< cisi?n was made in South DaSot State vs Chapmau, 47 Northwester Rep. 411. And also in Nebrask: Hailey vs. the State, 60 Northw?i Rep. 962. And in Iowa, State vi Goonan, 48 Nothwestern 921, hole that the bottles if sealed without th State were the original packages an not the boxes or barrels in which the came ' In Commonwealth va Bec! man, 31 Atlantic Rep. 12, the com is emphatic In that case the agen of a dealer in another State receive on consignment pint and quart bot ties of liquor, each bottle in a paste board box, sealed with a strip c paper across the lid and stamped wit] the name of the {firm These pack ages came in boxes and barrels to thi agent, who unpacked them when the^ arrived and put the pasteboard pack ages on the shelves The court sayi on this state of facts : "The clam of defendant that he was selling onlj in the original packages was little better than a burlesque." The Federal cases-are few in nam ber. Judge Hall, of the district o Mississippi, held (in re Harmon. 4c Fed. Rep. 372) that when bottles ol whiskey were put in a wooden bos and so imported, the box not the bot? tle, was the origiual package The circuit court of appeals of the Seventh circuit, tn United States vs. 132 Packages, 76 Fed. Rep. 364, dis? cuss the meaning of the word package as ujBed in section 3449 Revised Statutes of the United States "The term package means every box. bar? rel or other receptacle into which distilled spirits have been placed for shipment or removal, either in quan tity or in separate small packages, as bottles or jugs." Although none of these authorities are conclusive, they greatly assist in reaching a ??cisi?n. These ship meats look for their protection to the law of interstate commerce. it is that unit, the thing which the carrier receives, transports and delivers as an article of commerce, which is protected. The protection of the law is given that which is imported through these channels and in this way. The importer decides for him? self the size and form of the package which he seeks to import. He puts it up in the 6hape in which he wishes to import it, gives it the initial steps which puts it in transit, and so makes it the subject of interstate commerce "The original package was and is the j package as it existed at the time of its transportation from one State to another." (State VB Winters, 25 Pac Rep., 237.) "An original pack- j age is a bundle put up for transpor- j talion or commercial handling and usually consists of a number of j things bound together convenient for | handling and conveyance " (State j vs. Board of Assessors, La. 49 Am. j St. Rep., 318 } The case of State vs. Keith, 91 Ala. (8 So Rep , 354) ex? presses this idea clearly. "Merely labeling each bottle original package I does not make it one if it was not j really the original package. The! term to pack in its significa .?j^jji_?i^ja?Lsl?iLL-i: J^?L^B I ~.r> '?afar. gether and prepare for transportation As to make up a bundle or bale or box or other receptacle They do not form as many and separate pack? ages as there are articles, though they may be wrapped separately. The case or bale in which separate Moles are placed together for transpc. cation constitutes ? he original packages." So in re Beice, 42 Fed Rep , 546, which holds that the importer will be protect?d in his importation, how? ever, small may be the bulk of the package, decided that bottles could be original packages when they were sealed and nailed up separately, not packed in any other box, but shipped singly, and separately. This case, by the way, is at variance with the Pennsylvania cases quoted by the at ttorney general (Commonwealth vs. Paul, 170 Pac. State, 284. Same vs Scholleaberger. 156 Pa State, 201) and its conclusion is perferred to them Retail trade as well as wholesale trade, is included in Ure idea of commerce Considering all these cases and the others quoted in argument, it appears that the original package is the pack? age delivered by the importer to the carrier at the initial place of shipment in the exact condition in which it was shipped. If in single bottles shipped singly, or if in packages of three or more securely fastened together and marked, or if in a box, barrel, crate or other receptacle, the single bottle in the one instance, the three or more bottles in another instance, the barrel, box, crate or other receptacle res? pectively constitute the original pack? age. If sold or delivered it must be sold or delivered aa shipped and re? ceived. If the package be broken after such delivery it comes within the police regulations of the State, and any sale or delivery in such case is unlawful. Let an order be prepared in each case in accoeda'ner with this opinion-. CHARLES H. SIMOXTOS. . Circuit Judge. His Pride Lost, And Sought - Death. "Jack had to sell cheap Winter clothes in this weather," said his most iotimate- friend, Joseph W. Gibson, publisher of the Clothing Gazeter, yes? terday. , Mr. Gibson pointed to the long coun? ters filled with heavy fur-lioed overcoats that clerks lifted with difficulty, aod sighed : "Jack wa9 cot accustomed to cheap goods*' be continued. That is why Jack, whose serious name is Jacob T. Jacobi, weot to Passaic with a pistol and, uodcr the shade of aa elm, shot at his heart. He missed his hear ; by an inch. He is at Passaic, in the St. Mary's Hos? pital, aod his wife is near him The physicians say that he will not die. He says that be is anxious to live. He left the store of Heckbeimer & Co., at No 714 Broadway, at ll o'clock Monday, after a conversation with the bookkeeper. At noon he was at the office of his friend Gibson, with whom he had a pleasant conversation. He left Mr. Gibson's office and was not beard of again until the rje*s came of his attempt to kill himself yesterday. Then, wherever there was a group of men in the district where the wholesale clothiDg stores are, there wai discussed the enigma, "What could have made Jack try to kill himself?" A native of Florence. S. C., a descen? dant of oue of the old Jewish families of the State, a man of education, tall, with lustrous black eyes aod radiating happiness, io perpetual good humor. Jack, as every body calls him, is pop? ular. Ile is a charming story teller, carry? ing in his travels from town to town, like an aocieot minstrel, tales which he takes from the Greek, the Latin, the conversations of acquaintances Ile knows the negro folk iore, which was a mine to Joel Chandler Harris, and his friends say that be reads Shakespeare as priests read their breviary He is not in debt, be never drank to excess, be is devoted to his wife and two daughters. To suggest that he was, perhaps, morbid at heart is to make everybody who knows him shrug his shoulders Jack has been for twenty years a traveling salesman for clothing houses in the South, where traveling salesmen are expected to be very wise, very dig? nified and very amible. He ha? al? ways sold the handsomest overcoats and the costliest Wioter suits which the South would buy ready made. Bot in the busioess depression of recent years the South has abandoned ready-made costly clotbiog. So, in April, Jack became a sales? man of cheap clothing, and principally of boy's clothing. Instead of delicate stuffs be had to handle coarse ones, io stead of large sales to his friends be bad to make a great quantity of small ones to newly formed acquaintances This would depress aoy traveling sales mao Jack was extremely sensitive. He suffered in his dignity, in hi* affec:ion'\ io his pride of family. "Never miod," said Joseph W. Gibson to him Monday. "Two new clothing houses are to be formed next inoorb and tbsy will in? crease to nine the number of offers, which are to be made to you to quit selliog cheap clothing " But Jaok went out with a solemnity which made Mr. Gibson's assistant address bim, io pleasant reproof, as Mr. Jacob T.

The mur? derer fired three shots, one of which struck the premier in the forehead and another in the chest The wounded man fell dyiog at the feet of his wife, who was with him, lingering in agony for an hour and then passing away with the cry of "Long live Spain," which were the last words upon bis lips.

Before Commodore PL TIT vi.si ted Ja? pan au American vessel hud been ship? wrecked 012 one cf the Japanese islands. Her surviving sailors were all impris? oned fer that crime and were prison I when Perry arrived with his squadron. One cf them, a Iud from Oregon, hardly 21 years cid. had then learned thc Jap? anese language, so the Japanese govern ? ment had a convenient interpreter when j a diplomatic accident of great impor ! tance surprised them. In an interview with some American ; officer on one cf Perry's ships the Jap? anese officer cn public ?niy slapped tbs American. He was net shot cn the spot, but he and his were tumbled c?7 the ship in disgrace. The crew went to quarters, and war seemed impending, when the higher Japanese officials came on board with an humble apology, and for the moment the insult seemed atoned, but it put a black cloud on the negotiation. The. Japanese government vranted to know what they had done-how high an officer had been insulted-so they sent for this Oregon prisoner and asked him. He said he supposed the officer was a captain, from what they said of his uni? form. If he were, he said, he command? ed lieutenants and that lower grades were midshipmen, masters, quartermas? ters, boatswains and seamen. All of which the Japs wrote down. Then they asked who this officer had above him. "Well," said young Oregon, "if he were a captain, the commodore is above him." And they wrote that down. "Who is above the commodore?" "Thc secretary of the navy," said Oregon. "And who is above him?" "The president." "And who is above him?" "The people," said Oregon. But in his narrative afterward he added, "And of this they conic! make nothing." That story speaks well for the train? ing toys got in thc log cabins or the slab schoolhouses of Oregon 50 years ago. And if that fine fellow is still alive-and I hope he is-I wish he would write a letter to the editor of this journal to tell his after history yes, and to tell how far the Japs chose to profit by the excellent instruction he gave them. They might have studied a good many books published in Paris, in London or in Berlin without getting as good a view of the American consti? tution as he gave them in two words. But the young fellow's success at the moment was as bad as most Americans now have when they try to explain our constitutional politics to people "from the other side." "Of this they could make nothing," he says grimly. And this is at bottom the trouble with the diplomats of Europe, with prime ministers, and with leaders of "'er majesty's hop-position," and of travelers who do America in six months from Europe and from Asia. Even men cf intelligence, skill and ed? ucation, when they have been born and drilled in thc forms of feudalism, can make nothing of the central truth of our system. They think that it is mere gasccnade or buncombe when we say that the People-people with a very large P-made the government of this naticn and direct? it and will continue to do so. "Of thar- they can make noth? ing." But, all the same, it is the truth. The Pecplc made tho government. The People, armed and disciplined, is the army. j The People is the fountain of honor. The People is thc ultimate appeal. Mr. Cleveland knows this very well. President Harrison knew it. Arthur knew it. Hayes, Garfield, Grant and dear Lincoln knew it perfectly. Not one of these presidents ever speke of himself as "the ruler of America," .nor ever dreamed that he was or ever wanted to be. Each of them in his turn, was the chief magistrate of America, or, if you please, the chief servant, or the chief of staff, but no one cf them ever said, even to his wife in the seclusion of home, that he was the ' 'ruler of America. " The trouble with Mr. Bayard seems to be that in an unguarded moment he forgot this central and essential princi- j pie of thc American censtituticn. But poor Mr. Bayard had lived so long among feudalists!-And ono sees his mistake in three-quarters-in nine tenths--of what is written on such subjects by men or women WI?O have been bred in federal schools. In my own house once an English gentleman of great intelligence told me that he had visited the White Hcnse and was most glad to pay his respects to "the ruler of cur great nation." Poor man, he thought he would please me! But he saw his mistake soon enough. I stormed out: "Euler cf America? Who told, you he was ruler of America? He never told you so. He is the first servant of Amer? ica." And I hope thc*poor traveler learned a lesson. But I remember sadly, what I took j care not to tell him, that even in the j New York Tribune within the year I j had seen the president called "the ruler ? of America." Of course this was an ac? cident. The Tribune knows well enough j that no president ever ruled America, not ! for a quarter of a second. Only the blue j pencil point had broken oil that night in j the proofreader's hand in The Tribune j office. Everything that goes wrong now is related to the schools. When a man's breakfast is burned, he writes an article i to show that cooking should be taught 1 in all the public schools. How would it do to try this for the benefit of Mr. Bayard's successor 30 j years hence? Let each school in the nation meet in \ the large hall once a week, and after ? other proper patriotic exercise let ns have a little catechism, which might be studied from the Oregon sailor's nar- j rative. Question. Who is above the postmas- j ter? Answer. The postmaster general, j Bfl H9U Sd Q. Who is above the president? A. The supreme court. Q. Who made the supreme court. A. We, the people of the United States. We made the nation and we rule it. And it would not hurt the schools or the children or Mr. Bavards of the future and the people of the future if they could all he made to understand by the united efforts of teachers and parents, pulpit and press, that the Peo? ple is under the rule of a Power whose mills grind surely though they grind slowly. The catechism will be complete when they learn that he is above the people and that no one else is. E. E. HALE.
