Tn the multitude of matters at this time requiring attention it is likely that too little consideration will be given to the two important decisions rendeved by the supreme court of the United States last Monday affecting the rights of the states. One of these related to the cnses under the prohibition law of Kansas and involved the question of the constitutionality of that law, and also the vight of distillers and manufacturers of liquors to compensation for property destroyed or rendered valueless unde the operation of the law. With regard to the fivst of these questions very little doubt was entertained that the court would adhere to former decisions and reaffitm the vight of a state, in theex of its police powers, and for th protection of public morals, public healthor public saftey, to prohibit the manufacture and sale of liquors, and this it did. With hardly a qualification 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 saftey.and this authority may be car- ried to the extent of requiring each ¢ zen so0to conduct himselfand so to use his own property as not to unnecessarily jure another. Thus the legislature may not only prohibit the public manufac- ture and sale of liquor, but may do 50 in the ense of persons manufactur- ing for their own use if such manufact- ure is found to endanger orv affect the rights of others. With regard to the question of compensation for property a greavdeal of interest was felt. Judge Brewer, in the cireuit court, held that a state, before putting in operation a pro- hibition law, was hound to compensate distillers and manufacturers for property that would be practically destroyed by the law, and this view had been widely approved as just. It was quite generally believed that this position would be sus- tained by the supreme court, in which case prohibition would re a blow most as damaging as ade its constitutionality. The decision of the supreine court, however, overthrows this position and leaves the manufy turer no red It says that all prop- ¢ is subject to the condition that it 11 not be used so as to injuriously affect the rights of a community and thereby become & nuisance, and that Kansas ng the right to prohibit the sha manufacture of liguor on the ground that it is an injury to the community did not thereby take away the property of the manufacturers, but simply abated a nuisance. The far-reaching impor- tance of this decision is apparent. The other decision related to the Virginia case. The legislature of that state passed a law directing the state officials not to veceive for taxes coupons cut from the state bonds. These ofli- 1s brought suits against par- tied who had offered coupons and re- fused to pay their taxes in money. The P applied to the United States ci cuit®ourt for a restraining order, which was issued, The officials refused to ve- gard the order, whereupon they were arrested for contempt and imprisoned. An application for habeus corpus was made to the supreme court and the case argued on behalf of the offici by coe Conkling and others. The de- cision of the court declared that the circuit judge procecded throughout with- out*constitutional warrant, inasmuch as the matter presented to him was veally against the state of Virginia, though nominally against individuals, and in effeet holds that a state cannot be sued or coerced in a fed- oral court either by bring- ing action against the state by name or against its officials acting in their official capacity. The most radical defender of' the sovereignty of the states would have great difficulty in finding in either of these decisions anything repugnant to his views. The Paramount Issune. There can no longer be a question as to the position which the tariff issue to oceupy in the attention of the country and in the contest of parties until the next presidential cleetion. The presi dent, as the head of the democratic party, bas declared it to be the ques- tion of paramount importance, and the vepublican leaders have manifested an entirve willingness to have it so regard- ed. The supporters of the high tavift are said to cordially welcome the clear and unambiguous declaration of the ad- ministration’s policy and the invitation to a battle 1 well-defined lines which it prosents. The majority of the demo- ic party acquiesce in sition of the president or re- his ady acknowledged hip, and there cannot be a doubt as to which alternative will be aceepted. The party having practically conceded ssity of making Mr. Cleveland must, nounce leadc its rdidate - could not now vecede from its proclaimed alleginnce without producing disaifection ¢ dis- sensions in the org sanization that would render defeat i the next national elee- tion inevitable. It has no leader whom it could enthrone in the place of Mr. Cleveland who would command the full party support. Adharence to the pres- ident is not simply an obligation, the acknowledgment of a debt due him for having carvied the party to vietorys it is a néeessity to the very life of the party. The majority will ther®ore stay with the president and must per- force adopt the policy he has pro- claimed, That poli will divect the course of the representatives of th \jority in congress, and it will be en- grafted upon the platform of the na- tional convention, Thus the democratic party may be said to be alveady com- mitted to terift reduction as the only proper policy for relieving the peop of taxation and reducing the revenue of the government, The position of the president, is un- friendly, if not absolutely hostile, to the propositions of compromise in dealing with the revenue question which came from various democratic sources before the assembling of congress. While Mr. Cleveland does not say that he would disapprove measures dividing the reduc- tion of revenue between excise and cv toms taxation, and may therefore without inconslstency yield to circumstances com- pelling such measures as the alterna- tive to a complete failure of all cfforts lior revenue reduction, he leaves no doubt that such a compromise would be .unsatisfactory to him, and he unques- tionably belioves not to the advantage of the party. His evident feeling is that the duty and the advantages of the party lie in meeting this issue courage- ously, and not paltering with its by de- vices and expedients which go but part in remedying existing difficulties and n give only temporary relief, Assuming that the revenue reform democrats in the house will be in sym- pathy with this feeling, what hope is there of any reduction of, taxa tion by the preseut congress? The setual democratic majority in the house is only eleven, while the faction opposed to any extensive re- duction of tariff duties is claimed to to number from twenty-five to thirty. The leader of this faction is reported to have said that the president having forced a fight he can have it. Notmore than halfa dozen republicans can be counted upon to support a policy of tariff reduction alone, and the urgent appeal to party considerations that will be made is yery likely to induce some of these toact 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 result p hardly fail to strengthen the de- termination of the opposition to combat such reduction. And it is unfortunately the case that this opposition is strong enough to have 1ts way Thus while the president has clearly defined the policy of the administration and proclaimed the course which he de- sives his party to pursue, and which as we have already said it must pursue or renounce his leadership, he has not rendered the situation less unpromising than before of the revenue legislation which the emergency demands. With more than fifty million dollars of surplug on hand, increasing at the rate of nearly ten million a month, the country must look in the face the fact that there is hardly a possibility that the present congress will give any relief from this damaging and dangerous condition. Time To Act. The followers of PPayne and Couch, the Oklahoma boomevs, whose souls go marching on, will doubtless finc a reali- zation of their wildest dreams in the ciions of the Fiftieth congress. There is one project on foot to create a sep- arnte territory, to be known as Cimar- ron, to be carved out of the regiou now known as No Man’s Land, while some moro prolific congressman proposes the settlement of those lands to which Payne aud Couch and theic following were denied admittance. The fact has long that the Tndian larger than any necessity required; that there isa vast tract of valuable land lying idle, and that congress should take the matter in hand and either di vide the Territory or designate u cer- tain part to be oceupied by the Indians and leave the greater portion for white settlement, Commi. been apparent Territory is ioner Atkins, in his report of one year ago, said concerning these lands and the need of legislative action: The vast surplusage of land in the Indian territory, much of it, too, not surpassed any- where for fertility and versatility of pro- dection, which can never be utilized by the Indians now within its borders nor by their descendants (for 1t is not probable that there will be any material increase in numbers of Indian population), must sooner or later be Qisposed of by congress some way or other. Were all the Indians of the United States to be uprooted and transplanted to this terri tory, all living Indfans, including those now 111 ueres resident there, could have I3 P h. In a very exhaustive article upon the subject the New Youk Sun the offi- cial statistics show that theve are in the Indian territory 41,102,546 acres, of which almost exactly two-thirds are east of ninety-cight degrees and the remain- der west. But while there are 68,183 Indians east of that meridian, there ave only 7,616 west of it. Tt alsc happens that while there are thas only one- ninth as many Indians west as east of the line, rather more than one-eighth of the lands on the eastern side are now unoccupied and ready for any proper use by the government. The idea of the Indian commissioner is to remove all the Indians east of the mevidian, and throw the land 1y open to settlefient.
