Residents of Iowa Can Forget Their ° Liquor Bilis. The Iowa supreme court has rendered a decision that makes the sale of liquors by outside parties to residents of Iowa a peril- ous venture. Not only is it held that par- ties in Iowa who have paid for liquors fur- nished by outside firms can recover the amounts so paid, but it is held that they are not responsible for the return of the empty cases and kegs, even though @ contract has been entered into for such transfer. The decision was rerdered in ‘the case of Gipps Brewing Company, appellant, vs. Charles de Franee. Action was brought by the plaintiff to recover the sum of $2,635.33 alleged to be dve for beer sold and deliver- ed to the defendant, and for cases and kegs not returned. ‘The defendant as a counter claim asked a judgment for the amount of mney he had paid defendant for beer, ‘and by direc- tion of the court a verdict of $1,006 was given the defendant. The ground of the ccunter claim was that | the agreement between the parties was in violation of law, because the agreement was to be performed in this state, —_———+e2+—____ The Race Meeting a Failure. The running race at St. Joseph has proven a failure, and the boogmakers now have charge of the races, offering free admission as an inducement for crowds. The attend- ance has been light from the start, and many of the horses have left th? track. Col. Hatch, the well-known horsemam who had charge of the meeting, it is understood has lost heavily on the venture, | SENATORS WHO ARE ALONE Mills and Hill Conspicuous by Their In- depencence. a The Attitude and Characteristics of the Two Senators Contrastea— Two Kinds of Courage. Senator Mills of Texas is in receipt of hundreds of letters, telegrams and news- paper clippings applauding the position he has taken with relation to the compromise amendments to the tariff bill, It is with Some pride that he reads of himself refer- red to as the“‘only democrat in the Senate.” This characterization is not quite just to all his associates in the Senate, but the com- pliment conveyed is one that appeals pe- cullarly to his appreciation. There are a good many other democrats in the Senate, and they feel toward the compromise amendments about as he does, but they have either less courage or more discretion. ‘There were a few who were disposed to be as outspoken in their objection to the pro- posed amendments as was the Texan, but | these were influenced to refrain by their more cautious friends, or by the appeals of their associates, who were in a compromis- ing state of mind. It is said that Voorhees is quite as pronounced in his opposition to the amendments as is Mills, and that in conference with his colleagues behind clos- ed doors he has discussed them in quite as vigorous terms. He, as chairman of the committee, was in a position, however, where his colleagues might have a a = command his silence for party reaso! might overcome his inclinations by pe wade Mills Well Suited. Mills is placed in a position which he can fill with the greatest grace and in which his temperament can find wide range. It is doubtful whether the highest honors that could be conferred upon him wouid bring him as much gratification as he finds in his present situation. It is not that he loves to be dramatic or enjoys to stand apart conspicuous, but he loves courage for courage’s own sake and would defy the devil while being scorched. He is magnifi- cent in a fight, but policy, diplomacy, com- rowed ae ogee Bing oh airy deg Foca Vhatever any one may think of his theo- ries, none can deny, without disclosing their entire ignorance of the character of the man, that he clings to consistency, courage and honesty as a woman to her reputation. He takes no pride in well-put phrases such as most men in Congress de- light in; he shows no ambition to attain a reputation as a great orator; and he — not court popularity or fame. He chiefly wants the world to know that he has convictions, and that he has the hon- esty and courage that belong to them, and the more prominent = fact appears the more lofty his spirit and pride. If =e do not agree with him or, agreeing wi him, dare not come out and say 80, it ‘3 their own lookout, not his, and the fact «f being ulone does not trouble him in the least. If he has company, well and good; if not, he goes as valiantly alone on any er- rand of chivalry. He ts ¢ as much alone in the Senate today as is Hill, but their situations are as different as their dispositions. Mills knows that while no one wears his co! a are many who sympathize with his views, and in their attitude they yield to him the palm for courage, and a crown of diamonds could not please him more. If some resent his unwillingness to yield to their wisdom, he knows that they can throw nothing in the way of his ambition, since that is grat- ified in their very resentment. Hill's Courage. Hill, the other unattended knight, is as much as possible in contrast. Hill's chief characteristics are too familiar for = sion under PI gee se gg? but_ they boldness In “this situation. He represents a type of courage quite as distinct and strik- ing as that of Mills. It is the courage of the colder climate. He Ras shown in dealing with his colleagues in the Senate on this tariff question that there is almost no limit to his audacity, scme of them call courage— it. But with him courage ts not a thing of which to be proud or vain, but an instrument or weapon to be used at need, and always to be kept at command. Di policy, politics are also his weapons, and they first are put to use. When he lays them aside it is because they are not for the time available, and his courage is of that cool, deliberate, subtile, unobtrusive sort which is discovered only in its deeds, and is a surpise when discovered. He has shown no recklessness in this fight. He began by Uiplomacy to try to teach the democrats policy as he unde-stands it. Then he tried by crafty politics to capture them when he had fafled to convince them. Failing again, he displayed a daring and audacity almost unexampled. in Congress, but he made no parade of the matter. His defiance was only implied by his action, and his action was only coldly independent. He went his way with the coolness of a Quaker who quits bad company. He told no one to go to the bow-wows, but he acted it. He has treated his party with absolute indiffe>- ence, neither going out of his way to dis- close his purposes, nor making any effort to keep them hid. The fact that he was tional honors from the democratic party did not seem to affect him at any ume, and he now is working on alone in a pe: fectly calm and calculating way to kill "ihe tariff bill, regardless of whether the same stroke kills the party or not. While Mills has the courage to stand by his principles at any risk, Hitt has the courage to let principles go to the Old Harry if it suits his purpose best to do so. = RACE DISCRIMINATION, The National Eq Rights League Adopts Resolutions. The rights of the colored man and the discriminations that are said to be made against the race were vigorously discussed last evening at a meeting of the National Equal Rights Association in the Metro- politan Baptist Chureh, on R street be- tween 12th and 13th streets. A number of reports were received. One of the sharpest reports was that of the committee on discrimination in the District of Columbia. This report gave a long Ust of grievances and said that within the shadow of the dome of the Capitol no man can be convicted of murder if the vic- tim be a negro and the criminal a white man, while the courts are swift and merci- less in the punishment of colored s. It characterized the discriminations in res- taurants and hotels as “unchristian, unrea- sonable, unnatural and unjust, and having their origin in a spirit that justified hu- man chattlehood.” It was resolved, “that it is the duty of the aggrieved, proscribed an@ ill-treated citizens to agitate and urge that measures be inaugurated to secure complete fredom from odious and unjust discriminations based on the idea that this is a white man's country.” The report of the committee on assaults and lynchings condemned what it called the unlawful and brutal killing of Ameri- can citizens because they are black.

Neo Rent; No Concert, Disappointment, not music, rewarded the half a thousand or more persons who braved the weather last evening and wended thelr way to Convention Hall to attend a concert by the United States Marine Band for the benefit of the Fredericksburg Memo- rial fund and the fund for the National Peace Jubilee in April, 1895. The superin- tendent of the hall, Mr. David Towers, about 8:30 o'clock, announced to the au- dience that the concert would not take place, as the manager had failed to pay the hali rent. The superintendent, however, invited those present to remain in the hall until the rain ceased, if they so Consid- erable dissatisfaction was expreased at the turn of affairs, even after the assurance had been made that ticket money would be refunded today. Mr. W. Howard Mills, the manager of the proposed concert, states that he had no idea that he would be required to pay the rent until after the concert, and had made no preparations to do so, but, on the other hand, Mr. Towers says that the hall assu- ciation cannot afford to run any risks, — They Want State Banks.

Late this summer or early in the coming fall work will be begun on a new edifice for the Church of the New Jerusalem, the home of the Swedenborgiar denomination in this city. Ground was secured some time ago for the new clfurch, and the plans have al- ready been drawn for the building, which, though small, gives every promise of being cne of the most substantial and attractive in the city, The church at present occupies a small building on a triangle of ground at Massa- chusetts avenue and Dupont circle. The new site is at the southeast corner of 1Gth and Corcoran, with a front of eighty-cight feet on 6th street and a depth of 110 feet. There {8 a parking of forty feet in front, and the site is a most desirable one in every way. On thir lot it is intended to erect a structure 50 by 110 feet in size, with @ square tower and steeple on the cor- ner. In the remaining space on the south of the chureh building proper there will be the rooms, with a Kitchen in the basement. The Building Committee. ‘When the old church on Capitol Hill was burned the suggéstion was made that it would be a good thing for the general | church throughout the country to have a | building in this city that should be if every | Way a credit to the denomination. At the following convention the suggestion was taken up and received with the greatest ‘The result was that a committee of firteen members was appointed to consider the matter, of which the local members were Mr. Job Barnard, Dr. R. B. Donaldson and Mr. Jno. Joy Edson. From this a sub- committee Of three was appoinied to take charge of the plats for building. The Neb ape member is Mr. Edson. A num- of sketches were submitted by archi- ok from different parts of the country, but the one that found the most favor in the eyes of the committee was one sub- mitted by a well-known Boston architect. This plan, while it has been adopted sub- Ject to the action of the next convention of the Swedeuborgian Church, which will be held in Boston next month, will probably be followed out in all its essential details. Plans of the New tuliding. The ground on which the new building is to be erected has been purchased at a cost of $32,000 and is practically free of all in- cumbrances. The plans for the building call for an outlay of about $75,000, exclu- sive of thercost of furnishings and the of- gan. Of the entire sum necessary $76, has already’ been raised, $61,000 having been bee raised in this city. The church is to be pf marble or biue' ston, just which has not yet been definitely decided upon, but it will be the same throthout. As a whole,it will be rather @ simple structure, with little in a of Se er but it will =} more imposing and eyerything be of the very best: ‘rhere wil be an Sin- fourteen fi a ‘wun chancet will be the building wall have a nendecmns With stone pillars, that will give it a tee main floor will.contain ‘the book room and reception while the Sunday school room will occ" the whdle of the upper ficor, and wall be a high and airy apart- ment. The church now has a membership of upward of two hundred, though the con- gregations are considerably larger. The new building will have seating accommoda- tions for about six hundred. This should be entirely ample, though the new move is wy es step in advance that it is expected to have @ marked effect on the wth of the church. a _~-— THE WRIT REFUSED, Judge Bradley Makes Short Work ot the Coxey Petition. Judge Bradley yesterday afiernoon made short work of the petition of “Gen,” Coxey and his fellow commonwealers, Browne and Jones, for a-writ ef certiorari, refusing to grant the petition. At the bour set for the hearing of the p> tition, 3 o'clodk, Representative Hudson cf Kensas, Mr. A. A. Lipscomb and Mr. Sami, Hyman, counsel for the petitioners, appear- ed in court, but'the petitioners were con+ spicuous by. thelr absence. District At- torney Birney appeared on behalf of the government. ‘Mr. Hudson then briefly spoke im support of the petition. Mr. Birney said the petitioners had in- correctly assumed that the Police Court was a court of Inferior jurisdiction. The Police Court was a statutory court, having concurrent jurisdiction with the District —T Court in any cases. Lipscomp contended that the statute yrohibtteg the act committed by the de- ferdants was unconstitutional, because it authorized a suspension of it by the Vice President, Speaker, or board of Capital police. « ‘ ; The Court's Opinion. Judge Bradley rpndered a very brief opin- fon, remarking at the outset that there would be no.doubt that the Police Court had concurrent jurisdiction. The writ would not le simply to correct an alleged error. So for as thé ghestion Sf jurisdiction was concerned it appeared to be based on the contention that the information was not such an information as is required by the organic act amd that the offense charged in the information is under an act of Con- gress which is unconstitutional because it prohibits or abriliges the right of the peo- itself authorizes a ae —. Cr thind parties, to suspend its. operatic: Referring to some of these propositions, Judge Bradley remarked that they were too frivolous for serious consideration. Constitutional Quest ‘The constitutionality of the statute was deserving of more serious consideration, although there was little in the proposition. The statute under which the petitioner had - been prosecuted was intended for the pre, tection of the Capitol grounds and of Con- gress when in session. This right to assem~ ble and to petition for a redress of gricv- ances is a Tight that is subordinate to the rights of the public generally. 1t ts not a* right that will enable parties to override the rights of others. If they have the con- stitutional right to assemble anywhere they have the right to gather in the halls of the, House or Senate, as was well suggesied by Judge Miller. “Tramps with vermin,” ex- claimed Judge Bradley, “‘could take posses- sion of these halls and there would be no power to dislodge them. It seems to me that I have dignified this argument too much with reference to it.” As to the contention that the law was unconstitutional because it allowed the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives or the sergeant- at-arms to suspend its operations, Judge Bradley sald that it @id not allow third parties to suspend the penalty of the law, and did not vest wer in the individuals named. It was on! wer to license. In conclusion, po hs ley naid that on the whole he did not see that any such case had gm made out uy he ponerse cause eaat pe: ‘and it would, therefore, be dismissed. Replying to an feseiy of Mr. Lipscomb, District Attorney Birney said that he would this morning move for sentence, ————— A Treasury Department Appointment. James F.
