court said : "Without considering nny other
phase , the contract this court Is called
upon to force the Wpstern Union

courts of equity cannot respect. This fur
nishing * of uows on horse racing is n species

HELD TO BE CONSTITUTIONAL ,
Opinion of the Federal Snprcmo Conrt on
the Original Package Law ,
KANSAS NEED NOT RE-ENACT PROHIBITION
The Suit nrJiulKO McAllister of the
Aliiuku Court Decided In Favor
of the Government Other
DocliloiiH.
WASHINGTON' , May 25. The United States
suprotno court today decided that tbo original
package law passed by tlio lust confess wns
valid nnd constitutional , nud that It went Into
effect in all t no states wlioro prohibitory laws
provnilod without ro-cimctmotit by the states
of the laws by which they forbade the sale of
Intoxicating liquors within their boundaries ,
whether Imported from other states or not.
Uhlof Justice Fuller rendered the opinion
of the court and the bench will bo
united In support of the conclusions
to which ho arrived , though Justice Gray an
nounced that Justices Harlan , Hrower nnd
himself did not concur In nil the ro.isoulng of
the opinion of the court.
The cose upon which the decision was ron-
dorcd wns that of John \Vlllcersoii , sheriff
of Shawnco county , Kansas , appellant , vs
Chnrlcs A. Ilnhre , brought here on tin up-
peal from the decision of the circuit court of
the United States for the district ot Kansas
against the Mate. Kahro was the original
package agent at Topckn , Kan. , of the firm of
Maynard , Hopkins .t Co. of Kansas City ,
Mo. , and was arrested the dny of tot1 the or
iginal pncknpo law wont Into effect. IIo
claimed that the law was unconstitutional
and also that It could not go Into oporatlon
until the stnto had ro-onnctcu Its prohibitory
law. The court says :
Thn ponur of the stnto to Impose restraints
and bimluns upon por-ons and property In
promotion of I lie public health , good older
ntul prosperity Is a power always holonRliiR to
Iho slates , not sun endured by them to the
iteneral tfovcrnmont , nor dlroctly rostinlnod
by the constitution of the United States , and
essentially exclusive.
The power of congress to rosulato commerce
UIIIOIIK the several statefl when the subjects
are national In their natitra Is also exclusive.
The constitution clous not provide that Inter
state commerce shall hu flee , but. by the gnnt
of this exclusive power to regulate It It was
loft free except as conure s might undertake
to rosulato It. Therefore It lias been deter
mined ( Itobblns vs. Shelby , taxing dlstilct , )
that the failure of countess to ox-
orclao this exclusive power In any fuse Is
r.n expression ot Its will that the snliloct shall
ho free fiom restrictions or Impositions upon
It by the sovcml states , wid It a state law
c-onics In conflict with the will of congress the
state and congress cannot occupy tlm posi
tion of equal opposing sovereignIns ! hcuutisn
the constitution declares Its supremacy and
that of the laws passed In pursniinco thereof.
That which Is not supreme must yield to that
which Is.snpicino.
Intoxicating liquors are undoubtedly sub-
jccts of uoiiiinuice HKe other commo.lltlcs and
so recognized , hut nevertheless It has boon
often held that laws piohlbltlng the IIKUIII-
facl uro and sale of liquor within state limits
docs not necessarily Infringe ) upon nnyconstl-
tutlonul privilege or Immunity , this right beIng -
Ing vested , as In the Muglor case , upon the ac-
knowlcdpud rltfht of the states to control
their purely Internal affairs , and In so doing
they protect the health , morals nnd safety of
their people by regulations that do not Inter
fere with the powers of the general govern
ment.
The present case arises upon the theory of
repugnance between the state lawn and .tlio
interstate commerce clnusa of the constitu
tion , and Involves a distinction between the
commurolal power and tlio pollco power ,
which , while finite distinguishable when thov
do not approach ouch other , are sometimes
HUe the colors , so nearly allied as to perplex
the understanding as the colors do Iho vision.
The Iowa laws hold to bo unconstitutional
In the Lelsy original package case wore on-
.noted In the exorcise of the state's pollco
power and not at ull IH regulations of Inter
state commerce , but us It amounted in olTcct
to a regulation of such commerce , It "trns
hold that SO long as congress did not pass
any law to ro julato specifically the tratllo
hotwcon the states of Intoxicating liquors , or
act In such a way as to allow state laws to
operate upon It , congress thereby Indicated
Its will thatsuoli commerce should be-free
and untramnieled , and therefore Unit the
lilws of Iowa wore Inoperative In so far as
they amounted to regulations of foreign or
Interstate commerce in prohibiting the re
ception of such articles within the state or
their sale upon arrival In the form In which
Imported. It followed us a corollary that
when congress opotiitocl at all the result of
Its action meant to operate as a restraint
upon that perfect freedom which its sllenco
Insured.
Congress has now spoken nnd declared that
Imported liquors shall upon arrival In n state
fall within the category of domestic articles
of a similar nature.
Continuing the court says : The law of congress -
gross did not use terms of permission to tlio
stnto to act. hut simply removed an Impedi
ment to the cntorcoment of the state law.s In
rospcct to Imported packages In the original
condition cro.xtcd by the absence of a specific
iittcrancn on Its P'irt , It Imparted no power
to the state not then possessed , but allowed
Imported piopoity to fall at once upon arrival
within the local jurisdiction ,
The liquor arrived In Kansas prior to the
publishing of the act of congress , hut there Is
no question piesontod of the rlslit of the Im
porter to withdraw thu pioporty from the
stito , nor It Is poicelvnd that the congres
sional enactment Is given n retrospective oper
atlon by holding It applicable to a transaction
occurring after It took effect. It Is not the
cuso of a law enacted In the utmuthomod ex
orcise of a power exclusively confided to con
gress , but of a law which It was competent for
thu state to pass , but which could not operate
upon articles of carrying until the passage of
the actot concrete. That act removes the
obstacle and no adequate ground Is perceived
for holding that a ro-onactmont of the btnto
law was required before It could have the ef
fect upon Imported which It always had upon
domestic property. Jurisdiction attached ,
not In virtue of the laws of congress , but be
cause that the law placed thu property where
Jurisdiction could attach. The decree of the
lower court Is , therefore , reversed.
The court also rendered an opinion through
Justice Hnrlan in the case of Judge McAllis
ter against the United States. McAllister
was removed trom oftlco as judge of the dls-
itrlct court for Alaska by President Clove-
and , and claimed salary from the timeof his
removal to the qualification of Uawson , who
wns confirmed ns his successor. Ono ques
tion In the cnso was whether the Judges of
the Alaskan court came within the provision
of sections 1703 of the rovlsod statutes ,
authorizing the president to suspend nil
civil ofllcers "except Judges of the United
States.1 The court holds that tno Alaska
court Is not a court of the United States
In the constitutional sense ns set forth in the
third article of the constitution , but a terri
torial court. The fact that the terms of the
Alnskn Judge Is limited to four years nnd thai
ho does not hold ofllco for life or during good
behavior , the court says , proves It is not a
court of the United States ns the term Is con
stitutionally used. The court snld the de
cision In the present case cave the president
power over territorial oftlcors. Judgment
is thoroloro given in favor of too
United States. Justices Gray and
Brown dissented In nn opinion in
which Justice Field maintained that the
inoro will of the president was not suftlclent
to remove n Judge of a court created by the
United States nnd that the constitution did
not contemplate that Judges should bo respon
Mblo to him for his continuance In oftlco. Ii
scorned to him that some of his brethren
overlook the character of the Judicial brand
of the government , which only tnado n dls
Unction against the courts of thu territories.
Those court * have similar powers and there
wns the same necessity that they should use
their ofllco carefully and without odcndIng
any president , lost they should bo removed
The case ofVlngard , justice of the Wnsh
Ingtou territory court , was docldcd in this
wav.
wav.Tho court also , In nn opinion by Justice
Hrower , today nnirmed the judgment of the

DF.TKOIT , Mich. , May 23. At the morning
session of the I'rosbytorlnn general assem
bly the discussion of a seal was taken up ,
but wns soon dropped and continued as the
order for this availing. The standing com-
mlttco on frcodmon reported. Hov. Dr.
lUIon , secretary of the board , spoke of the
encouraging way in which the colored people
weio coming to the front. Iho present gou-
cration of negroes , ho said , will largely do-
cldo the character of the generations to
come , and wno , for good or ill , will sa
gravely In lluonco the future of the country.
The only solution of the negro problem Is
Christian education for him. The secretary
reported over ? 170,000 given lor support
during the last year of the 'M' ) churches and
seventeen missions under the control of the
board. In thosoaro llt'J missionaries , mostly
colored , and 15 , ISO communicants. The Sao-

which have an attendance of 11,029.
The standing committee on bringing to-
collier vacant churches and unemployed
ministers reported certain recommendations
designed to strengthen the "episcopal power
of presbyteries. " There was an animated
discussion of its provisions. TJr. Lowry of
Philadelphia opposed the fourth section ns
being a black list of ministers and churches
who for any reason decline to como undur
the arrangement. The discussion , which
was participated In by n number of others ,
showed n diversity of opinion upon ttio sub
ject , but the concensus of thought seemed to
bo that the matter bo loft to the presbyteries.
President Patton rccoinraondod that before
final enactment It bo referred to n special
committee , to report to this assembly on the
question of the constitutionality of the plan ,
which ho much doubted , but offered to with
draw his motion till all the sections were
acted upon.
Luuvo to withdraw was by vote refused
and adjournment cut off further debate.
The report of the committee on correspond
ence between chyrchos nnd ministers was
fixed for the first order Tuesday morning.
The postponed discussion of the ueal was
taken up , the serpent symbol being ndvo-
catod by Dr. W , A. Hartlettof Wellington ,
who thought that the conclusion reached In

It is thought by good observers thnt tbo

Uov. Thomas C. Hull nt tlm Forty-first
street Presbyterian church preached from
the text , "And Simeon answered and stild ,
Thou art the Christ. " "In this creed of
Simoon Peter's , " said the preacher , "thero
can bo lound no mistake. In many of our
modern church creeds tha clement * which
should be least noticed are the most nmnil-
Hod. Your creeds should DO simply what
you think of Jesus Christ. The time approaches
preaches wucn the Prosbytorlnn church will

Christ. Thnt is the creed which It will bo
impossible to overthrow nnd which will give
us strength to do right. "

SUNDOWNERS TALK SILVER ;
Jnestioa of Ooiooge Disonssai in a Pts'-
prandhl Way by tha Olub Uomben ,
WHAT VIEWS THE SPEAKERS HOLD.
L'rcpnndcrnncn of Srntlnirnt AgalnM
the Unlimited Injection of Sti
ver Into the Currency of
the Country
The banquets of the Sundown club are
growing In popular favor , and last evening
about seventy members unjoyod the bi
weekly spread at the Pnxtou nnd the lively
discussion thnt followed. Mr. M. V. Morse
presided , nnd upon his right nud loft were
senlod Hon. E. Uosowntor nnd Hon. W. J ,
Council , the principal sponkors of the even
ing. The subject for dlscutslon was "Tho
Financial Question Frco Coinage of Sil
ver. "
The llvellost Interest wns manifested In
the arguments advanced , ns the subject was
ono on which all present had studied moro or
loss , and there were not n few who were not
only willing , but \voll able to spcaic on the
question.
It was anything but n free coinage crowd ,
still the speakers on that sulo were freely ap-
nlatidodnml encouraged to do their best , but
every tlmo u cllnchor wns ndvnncod against
the romonetl/atlon of silver It was met with
n salvo of applause that loft no doubt as to
the sentiment of the great majority. The
banking and heavy business Interests of the
city were Inrgely represented.
Shortly after S o'clock Mr. Morse called
upon Mr. Council to open thu discussion , and
for the next two hours nnd n half thu spa
cious dlnlug hall echoed with argument , and
oratory
Mr. Council said that the tariff question
was ono of paramount interest. The three
great questions before the people today nro ,
llrst , tha labor question , second , the trans
portation question nnd third , the llnnnclnl
question. The principal argument used
against the free nnd unlimited coinage of sil
ver Is that it will Hood the country with for
eign silver. Thov claim a silver dollar Is a
dishonest ono. bald the speaker :
"I am fortunate enough to have n silver
dollar In my pocket. I say fortunate , because -
cause as you know I have just emerged from
n rather disastrous , campaign. JLaughtor.J
It contains 371 ! 4 grains of pure silver. Money
has boon measuied by thu gold yard-stick ,
which was increased from thirty-six to Ilfty-
two Inches In length. The European dollar
contains 'ttS and a fraction grains , or moro
thnn twelve grains less than our so-called
dishonest dollar. The East Indian rupee ,
which Is of the value of a dollar , contains
only ! 14 $ grains. Is there nny dnngur of their
bringing all the silver of the world here to
coin Into dollarsIt / would mean a less of
3 to 4 cents on every dollar.
"If wo had free and unlimited uolnago of
silver there would bo no speculation in silver
or bullion. A man would inko his silver to
the mint nnd have It coined , nnd would not
take less than $1 for 371'grains. . Our property - |
erty would bo brought up to n fair vuluo , and
our debtors could get out from under the
harrow.
"Already wo can hoar the mutterlngs from
Cincinnati , whcro the third party was Just
organized , and lot mo say right hero that that
party is going to trouble some of our demo
cratic friends ns well as some of the repub
licans , for the reason that on many of these
great questions it Is right.
"Why shouldn't tlio silver bullion owners
have their metal coined free as well as the
gold bullion pv/nerst The theory of frco and
unlimited coinage does notcontemplate stack
ing UD the now coin In the treasury vaults.
It means that the bullion owner shall take
his silver to nny mint to bo coined nii'l ro-
celvo therefore United States treasury notes. "
The second speaker was Mr. Uosowater ,
and Mr. Connell gazed inquiringly at a
bundle of figures and Wall street statistics
which that gentleman spread out on the tnblo
bolero him. Mr. Kosowiitor said that If
there were four hundred or llvo hundred
people In Omaha who contended that the
moon was mruto of ereen chceso and perhaps
llfty on the other sldo , there would bo plenty
of politicians who would advooito the co
agulated mill : theory. Thora Is no reason
why tno mlno owner should have his metal
coined for nothing , nor huvo the difference
between the market value of the metal
and the fuco value of the coin.
It Is n serious question whether or not nuy
moro silver dollars are needed In the United
St'itos at the present time. A silver brick
deposited in the treasury may bo worth $100 ,
and If not coined , bank natos of that amount I
could Just us well bo issued If there Is roul I
value loft In the treasury to redeem them. |
"Tho politicians nro prone to contend that
the currency Issued should bo based on the
amount per capita. I contend that this Is
wrong and that it should bo based on the
volumoof business. For ( JO cents n woman can
today buy n dross that would have cost W In
1800 , so you can soc that U would not require
so much money to do the business of
that tlmo. It is so through the
whole category of trafllo and trade.
There never was a conspiracy to demonetize
silver. It was recommended by the comp
troller of the treasury three years before It
wont Into effect. Wo did not-hear anything
about the conspiracy until later. During the
eighty years from the tlmo of Alexander
Hamilton to 187'J there were but S.-iW.OOO
silver dollars coined in thu United States
mints. From 1878 to 16'JO they coined 2,000-
000 a month. Everything would have gone
along all right had the amount of each metal
furnished been the satno , but when tbo sup
ply of silver wns f i,030,000 mid the gold
$ . ! 0,000,000 there must necessarily hnvo been a-
divergence In values. The frro nnd unlimited
coinngo of silver would tend to have ether
nations unload nil their silver on us and take
all the gold out of the country , leaving us
with n single standard Instead of the double
ono.
ono."Tho.amount ot money In the country does
not measure the prosperity , but rather the
amount of products that bring monoy. Tlio
strained money market of Nebraska today Is
not duo to the Impossibility of borrowing
money , but to the shortaeo of these products
that could bo sold for monoy. It don't make
any difference how much money h struck off ,
if wo have nothing to sell and get s.omo of It ,
it will bcnollt. the mlno owner ulono. "
Hon. U. .r. liryiin wns hastening nut to
catch hU train , but was Intercepted by the
cnvsldln ? officer , who pollloly hold Dim up
forntuxprcsilon of his views. Mr. Ilrrnn
denied that politicians ntono favored frco
coinngo , holdlnir that they trimmed their
sails to suit Iho brocjo nnd merely represented -
sontod Uio sentiment of the great majority.
Ho said that the objection to free coinngo on
the ground of porsonnl bcnollt to the mlno
owner was not irood In view of the general
benefit to all , and hold that the country
should have frco and unlimited coluago of
gold , ami silver -mast bo rumonetl/cd to
roMero the relative standing of the two
metals.
Mr.Thonms Kllpatrlck said It was hard to
ho tolerant In fnojof the fnlhchn advocated
by Moi.sr * . Council mid Hrvnii. Ho unld that
currency WPS confined with banking capital ,
and that n great many people did not sotmi to
know ) no from thu other.
Mr. Henry Yates said ho was no enemy ot
silver , If It could ho ns It was In the past , but
the frco colimgo theory is wrong. Tlio gov
ernment can't make wealth without the con
sent of nil parties to the tr.ulo. Ho also ex
plained that circulation is not wealth , Silver
is not monev , and no country recognl/os It n ?
such. In England it was demoralized In 181(1 ( ,
In Germany lu 1S7I , and In Fr.ince In 187,1.
Gold Is the standard and basts of wealth thu
world over. There are millions of foreign
capital Invested here , and It would bo with
drawn If It wns decided that iiriVj grains ot
silver must pay fur 'J'.i.'JJ ' grams of gold. Sil
ver cannot bo rcstsrod to lu former position
without a concurrent resolution ot all the na
tions , which cmmot bo obtained.
Mr. A. P. Hopkins snld that the proposi
tion to add to 371'4 grains ol silver enough ot
the credit of the United States government ,
backed up by gold deposited lu tbo treasury ,
to make It equal gold , could bo held up as
long us It wanted to buy for SI.S9 and sell nt
SO cents. If ether countries can sell silver
here nt $ ! . ! ! ! ( when prices in other countries
do not exceed 70 cents , they will neil here.
The United States can't ' restore single-
handed and alono. Gold will bo at n premium
as soon us sllvur Is coined. Bullion is worth
no more , as Its value Is llxed In the murk-its
of the world on a gold basis. There Is cur
rency enough In circulation.
Ur. Clarke Gupcn held that money was
becoming loss nccossary dally , ns the ten
dency of thu business world Is to grow away
from It nnd townrd bills of exchange. Jib
said that 90 per cent of the business of the
wet Id 1 done on a credit basis , and offered
Hclhuny a , * , nn authority to show that money
will bo obsolete In 1'J'JJ. '
No ono knows how long the discussion
might have lasted , as the dobnUir.i were Just
getting warmed up when President Morse
sounded the good night call , and reminded
the club mombcr.s of their promises to oo
homo early. The suggestion was acted upon ,
and the most Interoiting banquet thus far
given by the club came to a close.
