THE PIlomniTION LAW
CONSTITUTIONAL.
IS
Brewers and Others Have
no
Ground to Claim Damages.
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.

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:

WASHINOTON LETTER.
From our Rcjailar Correspondent.
Washisotox, Dec. 20, 1S87.
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.
