In the'multltudo of matters at this
time requiring attention It in likely thnt
too little consideration will be given lethe
the two Important decisions rendered
by the Hupremic court of the United
States last Monday iitTectlng the rights
of the Htntcn. Ono of these related to
the eases under the prohibition law ol
Kaiibiis and involved the question of the
constitutionality of that law , and also
the right of distillers and manufacturers
of liquors to compensation for property
destroyed or rendered valueless under
the operation of the law. With regard
to the. ' lir.it of these questions very little
doubt was enUrtuined that the court
would adhere to former decisions and
roafll'rm the right of < i state , in the ex-
ore-No of its police powers , and for the
protection of public morals , public
health < jr public saftey , to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of liquors , and this
it did. With hardly a quaUlleation the
decision declares that It is the province
of the legislature of a state to determine
what measures are necessary for the
protection of the public morals , health
and suftoyundthi8 authority may be car
ried to the extent of requiring each citi-
/.en so to conduct himsolfandsotousohis
own property as not , to unnecessarily In
jure another. Thus.tho loglhluturo maj
not only prohibit the public manufac
ture and sale of liquor , but , maj
do so in the case of persons manufactur
ing for their own use if such manufact
ure is found to endnngor or affect the
rights of others. With regard to tht
question of compensation for property r
great deal of interest was felt. Judge
Brewer , in the circuit court , held that 11
state , before putting in operation a prohibition -
hibition law , was bound to compensate
distillers and manufaeturert > for propertj
that would bo practically destroyed bj
the law , and this view had been widclj
approved us just. It wus quite gonerallj
believed that this position would be sus
tuincd by the huprenio court , in whiel'
e-iise prohibition would receive a blow
almost us damaging as adccision agains
Its constitutionality. The decision o
the supreme court , however , overthrow !
this position and loaves the munufac
turer no redress. It says that all pro ] )
erty is subject to the condition that i
shall not bo u ed to ns to injurious ! . !
allect the rights of a community am
thereby become a nuisance , nnd tha
Kansas having the right to prohibit the
manufacture of liquor on the groutu
that it is an injury to the co'mmunit ;
did not thereby take away the proper ! ;
of the manufacturers , but simply nbutc (
a nuisance. The far-reaching impor
tance of this decision is apparent.
The other decision related to tin
Virginia case. The legislature of tha
tate passed a law directing the stub
llloials not to receive for taxes coupon
ut from the shite bonds. Those oil !
ials brought suits agaitibt par
ies who had otTorod coupons and re
used to pay their taxes in money. Th
> arties applied to the United Sti.iteciv .
uirtourt for a restraining order , whiel
vns issued. The ofllcials refused to re
jnrd the order , whereupon they wer
irrestod for contempt and imprisoned
An application for habeas corpus wu
nude to the supreme court und the cus
was argued on behalf of the ofllcials b
Ro.scoo Conkling and others. The dc
ision of the court declared that th
circuit judge proceeded throughout witli
out'constitutional warrant , inasmuch ! i
the matter presented to him was i-eall
igainst the state of Virginia , thoug
nominally again l individuals , and i
olleet holds that a state caniu
jo sued or coerced in a fee
oral court cither by brinj ;
ing action against the slate b
name or against its otlleials noting 1
their ollleial capacity.
The most radical defender of' tli
sovereignty of the states would hav
great dilliculty in finding in either e
these decisions anything repugnant I
his views.
The Paramount Issue.
There can no longer be n question :
to Iho position which the tariff issue
to occupy in the attention of the counti
and in the contest of parties until 11
next presidential cle'olion. The pres
dent , ns the head of the democrat
party , has declared it to be the quo
tion of purnmount importance , and tl
republican leaders have manifested si
entire willingness to have it so regan
ed. The supporters of the high tari
arc said to cordially welcome the cles
and unambiguous declaration of Iho n
minislrution's policy and the invitntic
lo u battle in well-doflned lines whu
it presents. The majority of the deni
cratlc party must acquiesce :
the position of the president or r
nounce his already acknowledge
leadership , and there cannot 1 > o u dou
us to which ullornutivo willbeucccpto
The party having practically concede
the necessity of making Mr. Clovolui
again its candidate could not no
recede from its proclaimed allegiune
without producing disaffection und di
sonsionsin the organization that won
render defeat In the next national ole
lion inevitable. It has no leader who
it could enthrone- the place of M
Cleveland who would command thes ft
party support. Adharenco to the prc
idpnt Is not simply nn obligation , tl
acknowledgment of a debt duo him f
having carried the party to victory ;
is a necessity to the very life of 11
party. The majority will thereto
stay with the president and must po
force adopt the policy ho ha.s pi
claimed. That policy will direct tl
course of the representatives of tli
majority in congress , and it will bo e
grafted upon the platform of the n
tionul convention. Thus the democrat
party may bo said to bo already coi
milted to tariff reduction as the on
proper policy for relieving the peoj
of taxation nnd reducingthe revenue
the government.
The position of the president , Is u
friendly , if not absolutely hostile , to tl
propositions of compromise .in dcahi
with Iho revenue question which cai
from various domoeruti'c sources bcfc
the assembling of congress. While IV
Cleveland does not say that ho woi
dKapprpvo measures dividing the redi
tion of revenue between excise and ci
toms taxation , and may therefore withe
inconsistency yipldtpcircumstuncca co
polling such measures as the niton
tivo to a complete fallurb o ( all ciTe
for revenue reduction , ho leaves no
doubt that such a compromise would bo
.unsntlafactory . to him , and ho unques
tionably believes not to the advantage
of the party. His evident feeling in
that the duty and the advantages of the
party lie in meeting this Issue e'ourugc-
ously , and not paltering with ll by de
vices and expedients which go but part
way in remedying existing diniculties
and can give only temporary relief ,
Assuming I hat the revenue reform
democrat' ' In the house will bo in sym
pathy with this feeling , what hope It
there of any reduction of , taxa
tion by the present congress V The
actual democratic majority In the
hoiibo Is only eleven , while
the faction opposed > to nny extensive re
duction of tariff duties la claimed te
to number from twenty-live lo thirty ,
The leader of this faction is.reported Ic
have said that the president having
forced a fight ho can have it. Nbtmorc
than half a dozen republicans can bt
counted upon to support u policy of tarill
reduction nlono , and ( he urgent appeu' '
to party considerations that will hi
made is yery likely to induce some ol
these to act with their party. , If the
effect of the brave stand taken by the
president is to more firmly unify the
advocates of tariff reduction , that resull
can hardly fail to strengthen the de
termination of Ihc opposition to combiil
such reduction. And it is unfortunatclj
the case thai this opposition is strong
enough lo have ils way.
Thus while Iho president has clearl.v
defined the policy of the udimnistruttoi
and proclaimed the course which he de
sires his party to pursue.and which a :
we have already said it must pursue 01
renounce his leadership , ho hus no
rendered the situation less unpromising
than before of the revenue legislulioi
which the emergency demands. Will
more than fifty million dollars of surphij
on bund , increasing at the rule of ncarlj
ton million a month , tlio country mus
look in the face the fact that there i
hardly a possibility that the preset n
congress will give any relief' from Ihi
damaging and dangerous condition.

there is a vast tract , of valuable lam
.yhig idle , and that congress shoult

and leave the greater portion for whit
settlement.
Commissioner Atkins , in his report e
one year ugo , suiel concerning thes
lands und the need of legislative action
The vast surplusage of lanel in the Indiu
territory , much of It , too , not surpassed mil
where for feitilit r and versatility of nn
election , which can never DC utilizoel by tli
Indians now 'within its borders nor by the !
elcsce'ndruita ( for it is not probable that tlici
will be any material increase in number * c
Indian population ) , must sooner or later lj
disposed of by congress some way or otlie :
Were all the Indians of tlio United States t
bo uprooted and transplanted to this terr
tory , all living Indians , including those no'
resident there , could liavo 158 1-U ucix
each.
In a very exhaustive article upon th
subject the New York Sun says the oil
ciul stalislics show that there' arc i
the Indian territory 41,102,546 acres , (
which almost exactly two-lhirds are eu :
of ninety-eight degrees and the remuii
dor west. Kul while there are G8U
Indians eubl of that meridian , thorp ai
only 7,010 west of it. It also hup'per
that while there are thns only OIK
ninth HI many Indiuns west as east e
llui line , rather more than one-eight
of the lands on the eastern side are no
unoccupied and ready for any proper us
by the government.
The idea of the Indian commissioiK
is to remove all the Indians oust of th
meridian , and throw the land lying we
open to setlleiflent. This vast area , a <
cording to the commissioner , woul
found a state equal in size to man
states of Iho union. It is timocorluii
