lMI'OHTKI) DrMOCTIO.NS OF WIN KM.
It is admitted that Dr. Chancellor of
Baltimore our consul nt Bordeaux
France told the truth iihotit French
wines containing deleterious anil pois
olious coniKtindH lut it wan Hiiid by the
department nt WnshiiiKton that lie wuh
not sent there to report on the manner
of manufacturing wines by the French
and we believe nn niKilngy wan made to
France. If our coiimiiIh arc not stn
Honed abroad to protect the intercut of
the people of the United States what
are they aent there for anyhow?
The fuct however hiia become known
liirough IIiIh source that not a bottle of
pure wine in shlp-icd from France to this
country but Dr. Chancellor who is a
rikillful chemiat nnd a most reliable man
says it is concocted of poisonous com-
pounds sometimes fatally injurious to
those who drink it. Thia ahotild be HiiITi
cient to bar champagne and other French
wines .from use in thia country. The
Bordeaux wine sellers guide contains a
recipe for making all wines with a basis
. of pure or neutral spirits. Port on
which our sick are often dosed is made
by putting several pounds of unslacked
lime into a barrel of common whisky and
permitting to stand for forty-eight hours
Not only are the wines of France im
ported to thia country impure but the
Germans who lire so careful not to eat
American pork fearing trichina also
adulterate the wines they ship to this
country iu the same way the French
adulterate wines they export.
It is generally claimed that a wine-
drinking people do Dot become drunkards
ii nd that it is better to drink wine than
the fiery whisky manufactured in this
country. If these imported wines are
thus adulterated us we have the most
creditable testimony that they nre it is
..better to drink the whisky of our own
-country if that is not also adulterated
'but it is generally adulterated. The tax
iu whisky has appealed to the same ra-
pacity in this country that the cheap
and obnoxious decoctions called foreign
wines appealed to the rapacity of the
French and Ocrmiin exporter of wine
and the safe side is to drink cold water
but eveu that sometimes contains deadly
microbes which can lie killed by iMiiling
the drinking water the safest way to
prepare it for use.
The Washington City jailor who is
keeping a first-class hotel for the broker
Chapman refused the other day to allow
a brother to carry provisions to a sick
brother who is serving a term in jail
for some misdemeanor and the aforesaid
jailer is getting the lash laid on by the
press with uumcrciful keenness. If the
press would always do its duty iu tliix
respect we would have all prisoners
treated alike. Fortunately for The
Statesman it has had no local causes for
critical comment on this line but nil jails
are not conducted like the Travis county
jail notably the jail iu Washington City
where the wealthy are treated with as
much consideration and fare as well as
Jf they were at a first-class hotel and the
poor are treated with rigor and nre not
permitted the privileges that no man
nbould be deprived of before he is coti-
.vieted of crime.
It has always occurred to us that there
should be two compartments in every
jail in one of which prisoners charged
with but not convicted of crime should
hare all the privileges compatible with
security of the person of the prisoner
und another compartment where rigid
rules should be enforced upon prisoners
that have been convicted of crime. That
plan would comport with the theory of
our law that every mini must be re-
garded us innocent until proven other-
wise before a court.
Important witnesses who can not give
boud for their appearance and who nre
imprisoned nre thrown among criminals
of the most vicious dispositions and de-
grading associations. This is nn out-
rage. Such witnesses should lie allowed
an excluive part of the prison nnd
fhould be furnished with better than
ordinary prison fare. .
TUB FRENCH REPIBLIC.
Interest in the French republic hps
lately been manifested by observers and
writers about its system. It is very gen-
erally agreed by American writers that
while the Freiioh republic bos the con-
stitutional framework of a republican
government that its people lack thut
spirit of individual or personal liberty
which is likely to prove its unstubility.
Governments und especially republi-
can governments do not depend so much
uKin written constitutions und personul
liberty laws us they do upon the spirit
of the people who nre its supporters.
The people of the United States huve a
clear appreciation of their personul priv-
ileges under a republican form of gov
ernment und they would not sooner suf
fer arrest without due process of till
Jhe forms of law than they would submit
to a personal insult. In fact an at
tempted arrest without a warrant and a
compliance with ull the forms of the
statute is the gravest und most serious
insult to u citizen of this republic not
only on bis own account but on account
of his country and its institutions. The
people of this country regard every form
of tyranny or the assumption of powc
not conferred upon the officers of the
law us n serious menace to the .funda
mental institutions of the country und
they would resist it with their lives.
Not so lire the citizens of France. They
have all the forms of law to protect
them iu the enjoyment of personal lil
erty lint they luck both the proper ap
preciation of these statutory guarantees
and the ideas of personal freedom tha
would take offense at an arbitrary and
illegal assumption of power by their off
cials and lacking this they lack the tru
and genuine spirit of u republican form
of government. This is the danger that
threatens the stability of the republic of
France. Hesides being vacillating an
ever rcudy for any kind of change tha
momentary excitement may suggest the
are also wanting iu that spirit alway
exhibited by a citizen of the United State
when n disposition is manifested to in
I rude upon the personal rights which he
regards lis sacred.
Wc repeat that a government does not
derive its strength and active vigor n
well us its perpetuity from its forms of
law so much us it does when its forms
of government nre the embodied mani
festation of the spirit of patriotism that
beats in the common heart of its people.
CAISE OF THE EXCITEMENT AT
THE LAME DEER AGENCY IN
MONTANA.
Eugene Debs of Chicago riot fame is
engaged in organizing a colony of 100-
0U0 socialist voters which he proposes to
settle in one of the states either Nevada.
Wyoming South Dakota Montana
Idaho r Utah. None of these stutes
huve a voting population of 100000 nnd
Mr. Debs proposes to subvert the sys
tein of government of one of these
states and build np a state based on
the bed rock of socialistic principles. We
do not huve much confidence in the
scheme. The federal government
pledged to assure n republican form of
government to each of the states of the
Union and socialism is republican in its
governmental sense run mod. The fed
ral government interfered once before
with Mr. Debs' scheme at Chicago and
the probability is that if he attempts to
revolutionize one of the western states
that he will again find Uncle Sam's
heavy hand on his shoulder. Wo respect
fully recommend to Mr. Debs' perusnl
illinui Wilts' biography of Auron
Ibirr.
That Illinois citizen U in a bud fix who
moved with his family to Washington
City on the strength of his senator's
promise to get him a government job and
just as he got settled iu Washington his
senator attacked the administration nnd
reduced his constituent s chances for
llice under his endorsement from 99 per
cent to 2 1-2 per cent. The senator is
uder obligations to lend his constituent
money enough to move back to Illinois
hut we doubt if he will take that view
it.
A joint resolution passed the United
States senate offered by Senator Mills
uthoriifiiig United States commissaries to
issue rations and nimroiiriutiiiir $10.0011
o the El Paso Hood sufferers. That
mount together with the $3000 appro-
riated by the Texas legislature should
e sulhcient to relieve the immediate
wants of the people of El Paso.

Blood May Flow.
Helena May 31. Reports of the killing
of the several men by the Cheyenne In-
dians ut Lume Deer agency are' not veri-
fied. It is not believed any one was
killed except a sheep herder mimed
Hoover whose murder a week ago
caused all the excitement. The settlers
and cowboys determined to n venue his
death and give the Clieyennes an object
lesson to deter them from similar acts in
the future. lliey sent nil the womt
iiiki cnniiren to places ot safetv. arme
themselves and congregated near the
ugeuey and demanded the surrender of
the Indians accused of murdering
Hoover. The Indians nrmed themselves
and made threatening demonstrations
against the whites but no battle has been
loiight nor massacre begun so far us
known. Six companies of United States
troops nre nt the agency. The Indians
declare they lo not want to fight the sol
diers but are anxious to have a brush
with the white settlers and enulu.vs.
There is u conflict of authority between
the Indian agent dipt. Stotich. and the
siiernt ot (Juster county. The sheriff'
depones were ordered olt the reserva
tion by the agent. They returned to
.Miles City and got a wurrnut for tlip nr
rest of the agent for interfering with the
oineers and started hack to arrest him
Unite Deer is sixty miles from a tele
grupii omce una tne result of their ex
peon ion is not known.
The trouble is due to the elinrces nf set
tiers that the Indians stenl their cattle.
and counter charges of the Indians that
the settlers continually intrude on the
reservation.
Governor Smith wired President Mc-
Kinley today protesting iiL'tiinsr the nn.
tion of Cnpt. Stotich and usking that he
ue nirecieu not to intertere with the civi
omcers.
.Stoiich says he enn nnd will nrrest the
murderers us soon as the excitement dies

MONTANA INDIAN TROUBLES.
! Reports From the Scene War
OfUce OIHclaU Are Not Alarmed.
nshington. Mav 31.Thn Tn.iinn
troubles in southern Montana reported
from Helena was made known to the au-
thorities of the war donnrl nil lit llict XT-ttrb
and m the opinion of the officials are not
likely to be followed by serious results.
J he first news of the affair came to the
department in a telegram from Col. Sher-
idan the adjutant general of the depart-
ment nt St. Paul. At present the depart-
ment has command owing to the recent
retirements nmonir tile inn ior panci-nla
and the brigadier generals and the delay
in assigning the new commands among
the colonels recently promoted. Secre-
tary Alger himself is responsible for the
command nnd he is directing the nffuirs
through Adjt. Gen. Ruggles. Col. Sher-
idnn's telegram was received Inst IVi.
oay ana simply stated that a report had
come to headquarters nt St. Paul that
two winto men berders had been killed
near Lame Deer reservation in unntlium
-Montana. To guard against trouble two
troops of cuvalr.v were ordered hv tele.
grnpn trom 1-ort Luster. They started
last l-riday nnd since then no report
has come to the war department thouch
it is possible that Secretary Alger who
is now at West Point may have been
telegraphed. The absence of other re-
ports from the troons satisfied tho wnr
uepnrtment that tne trouble hns been
nuieted. for they would be Riiru in henr
f anything so serious as the killing of
roops mid occurred. Moreover. the
agency where the men are reported to
have been killed is in command of nn
army officer. Cant. Stouch. who. it in snid.
has the entire confidence of the Indians
and is capable of dealing with them with-
out friction if not interfered with bv
outsiders. There is a disposition at the
department to attribute the affair to the
encronchments of the whites living in the
neiguiHiriioou oi tne Indians.
No intimation of nnr trouble nenr the
Cheyennes hns reached the interior de-
partment and the Indian officials are at
i loss to account tor the lock of advices
f any trouble has occurred or is nnnre-
hended. In view of the luck of official
advices the fact that the nirencv in in
close telegraphic communication and that
tne agency is in charge of un experienced
nrmy officer no alarm or uneasiness as
to the safety of the people in that section
is felt. No incidents have been reported
to the dennrtment recently thnt wnnld
likely lend to serious results nnd the fact
that reports date the trouble several days
back is cited as significant.
HITS THE DISPENSARY LAW.
Circuit Court Decision Diametric
to Tillman's Pet Lair
Charleston. S. C. M.iv HI Tndee
Sinionton of the United States circuit
court today filed a decision in the case
f nndercock Company vs. The State of
South Carolina restraining the state
from preventing the sale of liquors
brought into the state. This decision if
ustamed on appeal it is claimed will
live the effect of renderim? nuiratorv
the state dispensary law. Under the
lecision of Judge Nililoilton nnv iierson
may import nnd sell liquor in' original
packages. The decision is based on the
nterstate commerce law. the court hold
ing that the right of importation compre-
inii me rigiu ot sale.
In a syllabus prefixed to tlio full t.Tt
of the decision. J mine Simonion ivs;
Vny state may. iu the
police power declare that the niunnfae-
ure. sine barter ami exchange nr the
use as a beverage- of alcoholic liquors
are public evils and having so de
clared can forbid such manufacture
sale or use within her territory; but
when a state recognizes and approves the
manufacture sale and barter or exchange
as a beverage of alcoholic liquor and the
state itself encourages the manufacture
engages in the sale of and provides for
the consumption of alcoholic liquors as
a beverage and so precludes the idea that
such manufacture sale barter exchange
or use are injurious to the public welfare
it is not a lawful exercise of public power
to forbid the importation of such liquors
or their sale in original packages for per-
gonal use and consumption. Such prohi-
bition under such circumstances is in
conflict with the laws of interstate and
foreign commerce.
"In view of these facts the dispensary
act in so far as it forbids the importation
of alcoholic liquors in original packages
into this state is in conflict of laws of
interstate and foreign commerce and is
therefore to that extent void."
The court then goes into a lengthy dis-
cussion of the facts and the law of the
CUSP.
The case which elicited the decision
was a suit brought by a California wine
and liquor company whose goods
shipped to a custom house iu South Caro-
lina were seized by the disicnsnry
officials. The shippers asked for a
permanent injunction to prevent further
seizures of its goods. After reviewing
the law involved. Judge Sinionton says
the attempt to forbid the importation and
sale of spirituous liquors in original pack-
ages must fail.
tame Like a Ronih.
Columbia. S. C May 31. The decision
of Judge Sinionton on the dispensary
law handed down in Charleston this
morning came like a bomb to the state
officials here.
Governor Ellerbee said the decision was
a great surprise to him. He said he
supposed the dispensary would continue
to do business nt the old stand.
When asked if he would call an extra
session of the general assembly he said:
"I do not know."
He added that he could not have any-
thing to say about the matter till lie
heard from the attorney general. He
said that it was a serious crisis and one
that would have to be met with delibera
tion.

London May 20. (Copyrighted lbOi
bv the Associated Press.) The negotia-
tions at Constantinople have entered upon
the anxious stage owing to doubts ns to
the real intentions of the sultan whether
he means to resume war or not. A spirit
of conciliation is shown at the Yildiz Kiosfi
towards the ambassadors but the Turk-
ish government is playing a double game
and is inciting public opinion secretly to
oppose the abandonment of Thessaly. The
sultan affects to be. greatly afraid of the
Islamic party and the attitude of the
grand vizier as shown by the report
which he presented to the sultan on Satur-
day last urging that the whole of Islam
was fully determined to retain Thessaly
and tendering his resignation in case Ab-
dul Humid (littered with these views
strengthened the suspicion that the sultan
is prepared to plead that Islamic pressure
is the reason for not yielding to the pow-
ers. Advices from Thessaly show that agents
of the Turkish government have been call-
ing upon the Thessnliun Mussulmans and
Spanish Hebrews to protest against the
evacuation of Thessaly and that the few
Greeks who have not tied dare not refuse
to join the movement.
The Turkish newspaper Sabahuy which
only publishes what is endorsed by the
Turkish government congratulates the in-
habitants of Thessaly upon their alleged
decision in favor of Turkish rule and
points out the blessings of the Ottoman
regime to the Christians who it is claim-
ed will benefit by lower taxes and exemp-
tion from military service. The sultan's
show of resistance to the powers is gener-
ally attributed to German bucking but it
is also rumored that negotiations between
Turkey uud Russia huve been proceeding
this morning relative to the eventual ad-
mission by Russia of a portion of Asia
Minor including Rizeh iu the southeast
corner of the Black sea and the territory
up the Joruk river.
Germany s attitude throughout the crisis
hns brought forth another denunciation
from Mr. Gladstone who writing to Mr
Poultney Bigelow with reference to the
hitter's history of the German struggle
tor liberty says:
"The union and consolidation of Ger-
many was a great work favorable we ull
nope to the peace ot Europe.
"There remains however something
more to be desired namely that the gov
ernment may cease to misrepresent the na
tion by basing its foreign policy on support
oi tyranny and contempt or Humanity and
justice."
No confirmation has yet been received of
tne news contained in n dispatch from
Constantinople to the Morning Post of
this city saying the embassies there have
received word from their respective minis
ters at Anions that tne position of the
Greek royal family is so critical that the
King is practically barricaded in his nal-
ace and is making preparations to leave
Atnens in order to escape the fury of the
popuiuce. Advices received here from
Athens say however that elaborate meas-

bad condition of uffairs exists. The crim

salian prisons on the eve of the Turkish
occupation have formed themselves into
bands and are pillaging right nnd left. The
efforts to cope with them have so far
proven fruitless.

John Redmond's crime can resume their
seats on Monday. The conservative
newspapers ridicule the scene claiming
it was u put-up job and merely a piece
of theatricals presented "in order to dish
up the Dillonites" the conservative ex-
planation being that Mr. Redmond heard
the Dillonites lind adopted a manifesto
setting forth their reasons for not taking
part in the queen's jubilee whereupon
the Pnrnollitos determined upon the
scheme to get suspended and thus enable
them to pose ns martyrs and take the
wind out of the Dillonites' sails. Tin?
plan supposing the conservative allega-
tions to be well based was certainly a
partial success as the aspersions of the
rarucllitcs have created considerable in-
terest in the Dillonites' manifesto.

ley's message on the queen's birthday as
being a "cordial expression of the per-

even more remarkable."

the most brilliant functions of the sea-

be in full swing until after the inbilee.
The display of diamonds was really
