A very important tlec'isdon, ami one likely to be for reaching in Its conse quences, was n-merel in the tl. S. su preme court oa Tuesiluy last, in the so Tilk Kansas prohibition cases of Mu der against the state of Kunsas, and the state of Kansas vs. Zcibold anil others. The judgment of the court was pronounced In a long niul elabor ate opinion by : Justice Harlan, of w hich we extract the following from which it will be seen the court In very plain lanjruage, strongly condoms the grent evils of the accursed traffic: THE HIGHT TO PROHIBIT. It is difficult to perceive any ground for judicially declaring that prohibi tion by Kansas of the manufacture or .sale within her limits of intoxicating liquors for general use there as a bev- wnire is not tairly Ktiaptea to me end of protecting the community against the evils which confessedly result from the excessive use of ardentspiritss. We cannot shut out of view the fact that public health, morals and public safe ty may In? endanjrered by general use of intoxieotinjr drinks. Kor can we Ignore the fact that disorder, pauper ism and crime, when prevalent in a country, are, in large measure, directly traceable to this evil. If, therefore, the state deems abso lute prohibition of the manufacture and sate within the state of intoxica ting liquors to be necessary to the peace and security of society, courts cannot override the will of the people as thus expressed by their .chosen rep resentatives. It is a fundamental principle in our institutions, indispen sable to the preservation of publie lib erty, that one of the separate depart ments of government shall not usurp the powers committed by the constitu tion to other departments. PROPERTY XOT TAKEX. In reply to the claim that prohibi tion of the manufacture and sale of liquor deprives liquor dealers of their property without du process of law ths court, says: All property under our form of government is subject to the obligation that it shall not be used so as to injuriously affect the rights of me community ana thereby become a nuisance. The state of Kansas had a right to prohibit the liquoi traffic. It did not ther. by take away the proper ty of brewers. It simply abated a nui sance. The property is not taken away from its owners. They are only prohibited from using it for a specific purpose which the legislature declared to le injurious to the community. For the reason stated, says Justice Harlan, we are of the opinion that Mugler, plaintiff in error, has not been denied by the judgments of the supreme court, of Kansas any right, privilege or immunity secured to him by the constitution of the United Htates and its judgment in each case is ac cordingly affirmed. We are also of the opinion that the . circuit court of the United Btates erred in dismissing the bill of the state in the suit against Zeibold and Hagelii. The decree in that ease is reversed and the cause remanded, with direction to enter a decree granting to the state such relief as the act of March 7, 1SS5, authorizes. This decision is undoubtedly the longest nail which has yet beeu driv en into the coffin which will sooner or later contain the evil carcass of the "-kor traffic. - PROHIBITION CONFERENCE. Speedy ant Tliornn Organization BseommeBdpd. Tlie Prohibition Conference met in Nonpareil Hall, Portland, on Tuesday evening November 23, and was called to order by G. W.- Dimick, Chairman of the State Prohibition Central Com mittee. ,Song. "The Coming Ship of State." Prayer.- By Rev. Geo. Roork. Song. "One More Itiyer to Cross." The Chairman congratulated his fellow-workers on the remarkable growth of the party. Three years ago he was one of thirteen who started the prohi bition party in a committee room in this city. It was a small but lively baby when born at the first conven tion. In Salem there was but three delegates not enough to nominate presidential electors and an adjourn ment was made till the close of the Grand Lodge I. O. G. T, at Corvallis. These electors received less than 500 votes at the late election; our candi date for Congressman received nearly 3,000. For three years we have had a State paper. Ijetters regretting their -absence, but promising Jiearty cooperation were re ceived from C. C. Hogue, Corvallis; C. A. Sehlbrede, Oakland; Dr. A. C. Kinney, Astoria; E. E. McKinney, Turner; Frank McFailand, Arlington. An, extract from a letter from A. AW L.ueas, of Monmouth was read as" fol lows: 'I am exceedingly sorry I can not be at Portland this week, but will say after trying republicanism for thirty years, and feeling very proud of many of its acts, and now when it is called upon to aid in one of the greatest ne cessities of the century, it shows its loven foot, although it has all along claimed, and with fair good reason, to be a party of reform, progress and gen eral advancement. I am ashamed of its record made in Oregon, especially in our enlightened cities, while our be nighted Bunchgrass neighbors have acquitted themselves so nobly. I am now ready to aid a bill for local option or any other fair means to drive the curse of curses from our fair land." The following appointments .were made to fill vacancies on State Central Committee: For Baker, Wm. Papoon; Clacka mas, F. O. McCown; Columbia, Jas. Mucle; Curry, A. M. Gillispie; Coose, AY. A.

Thanksgiving Day was observed In Washington in the usual way. The executive departments were closed, and the clerks had a holiday. Bus! ness of all kinds was suspended, and protestaut churches were open for re ligious services appropriate to the oc casion. There were many private home gatherings, and family reunions, and many publie dinners for the poor, whose hunger was stayed for one day at least, with turkey and cranberry sauce. A notable feature of the religious cer emonies of Thanksgiving was the uni ty among different denominations. Union services were the rule. Congre gations did not worship alone, but Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists, find Diciples met at the churches des ignated, and were thankful altogether. This they have done to some extent in the past, but union services were nev er before so general. And this reminds me of the general Christian Conference which is t be held in this city on the 7th, fith and !th of December. It is under the au spices and in response to a call firm the Evangelical Alliance of the United States, and the chief object of the con vention is to arrange some plan where by all Protestant ministers may help to propogate the Gospel among the working classes. About two thousand delegates are expected to attend this conference, among whom will be many eminent brilliant and distinguished divines. A few days ago a meet ing of clergymen and layman was held In New York for the purpose of discussing the work to be done at the coming convention In Washington. Pome of them spoke very hopefully of the proposed plan and urged that great good could be done by discarding sectarianism and presenting the naked truths of the Gos pel, but others were doubtful, and fore saw many dfficulties. The President and Mrs. Cleveland ate their Thanksgiving dinner at? the White House, in a quiet way, their on ly guests being the three young ladies. former classmates of Mrs. Cleveland at Wells College, who have been with her for a week or more. They listen ed to a Thanksgiving sermon in the forenoon at the Fourth rresbyteriau c" lurch, of which Mr. Kelly is the pas tor. The Iirst Presbyterian church the President's usual place of worship. is one of the most unpretentious church edifices in "Washington, and it is at tended by a very unpretentious, plain looking congregation. Many of the curiosity seekers with whom the Na tional Capital is always thronged, go to the "President's church," as it is popularly called, expecting to see un usual style and display. Bevond the satisfaction of seeing the President himself and his pretty wife, they are always disappointed, and the popular comment substantially is, that their own village church affords as good, or a better looking congregation than that of the President. ; Mr. Joseph Chamberlain with the other distinguished members of the great Fisheries Commission, have been in this city for a week, and are holding formal conferences daily in the Diplo matic room of the State Department with Secretary Bayard and his assist ant representatives of the United States. Their proceedings are to be kept secret, however, until the conclu sion of their work, Mr! Bayard himself having authorized the statement that any article that might appear purport ing to tell what had been done at any of the meetings of the negotiators, must be the purest speculation. The President gives every spare mo ment from.routine duties to the prepa ration of his message. The Capital in terior is a busy scene of preparation for our lawmakers. The opening of the first and long session of the ..Fifti eth Congress, is only a week off, and its members, Senators and Representa tives, are arriving on every incoming train.
