There is a provision that "nothing in this act shall be construed to permit any state to forbid the manufacture or salo of oleomargarine in a separate and dis tinct form aRd in such manner as will ad vise the consumer of itg real character, free from coloration Or Ingredient that causes it to look like butter."

Foirr Cut ot the, JCine Member, of jthe Court Joined in .a. Dissent ing OpinloB. WlaSHINQTON. Nov. 19.--Tho United State Supreme! Court today rendered, an opinion In tho case' of William- B. Atistln va. the State of Tennessee, Involving- the validity Of tho state law regulating- the sale of cigarettes. The laVr -was attacked as an Infringement of 'the right T6f Con gress to regulate Interstate commerce. The Tennessee Supreme Couft upheld the law, and today's decision sustained that verdict, though not without disapproval of some of the positions taken, and then upon a -very narrow margin, four out of nine members joining in a dissenting opin ion, and another member of the court (Justice White) placing his assent., upon grounds different from those announced by Justice Brown, who handed down the opinion. The case srew out of the Importation of cigarettes Into Tennessee from Nortji Car olina. They were taken into the state la the ordinary sized cigarette packages, about two by four Inches, and these pack ages were loosely thrown Into baskets, which were uncovered. The claim was made that these cigarette packages were what Is known to the lw as origTftal packager; but without clearly defining an original package, the court held that it was clear that such packages, could not be so considered. Justice Brown, in passing upon the case, said that the pack ages were obviously made up with tho view of evading the law', and as ho spoke he held one of the little cigarette cases up to the view of his audience. On this point the decision of the state court, to .the, effect, that the packages were not original, was fully confirmed. On another point of the case the state court was not so fully Indorsed. Tho Tennessee court had held that cigarettes are not an article of commerce. With this view Justice Brpwn took Issue, and he delivered quite a dissertation upon the subject Whatever la an object of bar ter and sale, he said, Is an article of com merce, and must be so recognized. To bacco has been such an article for 400 years. It has been made the subject of taxation, and, Indeed, has become more Widely scattered than any other vegetable. Probably, he added, no other vegetable has contributed so much to the comfort and solace of the human race. This be ing the case.'lt Is entirely beyond bounds to say" that tobacco is not an article Hf commerce. He then took notice of the claim that cigarettes are an especially harmful form of tobacco, and, while he conceded that this might bo the case, Jie Temarked that ths claim Vaa ' of com paratlvely recent origin. He held that cigarettes are as much a matter of state" regulation as liquor, and he further held that while no state law could prohibit Importation In original packages, It was entirely , colnpetent for a Legislature to regulate the sale, because of general be lief In the deleterious effect ot the article. There was a dissenting opinion by Jus tice Shlras, In wilph the Chief Justice and Justices Brewer and Peckham Jolhed. They based their dissent on the theory that Congress has exclusive control of interstate commerce. Tho United States Supreme Court today took a recess for two weeks. WHISKY JN GERMANY. Big Demand There for the American "Article. ' ""' ' NEW YORK, Nov. 19. A special to the orld , from Washington says:it J Gerhiany Is, rapldjy "becoming a' nation of whisky drinkers, according' o tho re port of. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Wilson. More distilled spirits are export ed from this country to eGrmany than to any foreign country. The Germans, appar ently, are partial to bourbon whlsHy In preference to rye. During the year ending June SO, 1900, 411, 4S9 .gallons of bourbon and 137,578 gallons of rye whisky were sent to the German Empire. Africa buys more rum from the United States, and leads the list In the expor tation, of that article,, having been sup plied with SS7.7C9 gallons.
