LIQUOR LICENSE LAWS.
An Opinion on the Subject by the Uni
ted States Supreme Court.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, Nov. 10. The Su
preme Court of the United States in. an
opinion rendered by Justice Field to
day in the case of P. Crowley, Chief of
Po'lice of San Francisco, California, ap
pellant, vs. Henry Christensen, reversed
the order of the United States Circuit
Court for the Northern district of Cali
fornia, discharging Chrisrensen on a
writ of habeas corpus. This is a liquor
license case, and in its opinion the
Court broadly lays down certain funda
mental principles attecting the relation
in which this business and the laws ot
the country stand to each other. Chris
tensen for several years conducted a
retail liquor store, but in 1889 his ap
plication for renewal of his license was
refused by the police commissioners of
San Francisco, in whom the municipal
ordinance vested discretion to grant or
refuse license for saloons; the refusal
being based on the ground of the bad
repute in which the place stood. There
upon Christensen did business without
a license and was arrested. He sued
out a writ of habeas corpus and the U.
S. Circuit Court ordered his discharge
from custody, on the ground that the
ordinance made Christensen's business
depend upon the arbitrary will of others,
and in that respect denied to him equal
protection of the laws.
In its opinion, by Justice Field, the
Court says: "It is undoubtedly true that
it is the right of every citizen to pursue
any lawful business, subject only to such
restrictions as are imposed upon all per
sons of the same age. sex or condition.
But the possession and enjoyment of
this right, and of all rights, are subject
to such restriction as may be deemed
by the governing authority of the
country essential to the safety, health,
peace and good order and morals of the
community. Even liberty itself is not
unrestricted license to act according to
one's own will.
It is only freedom from restraint un
der conditions essential to equal enjoy
ment of the same right by others. It is
their liberty regulated by law.
The Court says the regulations gov
erning the various pursuits of life are
almost infinite, varying with the nature
of business; some regulations being de
signed to lessen noise, others to protect
healjh, others to remove odors, &c, and
it would hardly be necessary to mention
this. The Court continues, were it not
for the position often taken
and vehemently pressed, that there
is something wrong in prfnciple
and objectionable in similar restric
tions when applied to the business
of selling by retail, intoxicating liquors,
it is urged that as liquors are used as a
beverage, and the injury following them
if taken in excess is voluntarily inflicted
and is confined to the party offending,
their sale should be without restrictions;
the contention being that what a man
shall drink, equally with what he shall
eat, is not properly a matter for legis
lation. There is in this position an
assumption of fact which does not exist;
that when liquors are taken in excess
injuries are confined to the party offend
ing. The injury, it is true, first falls
upon him in his health, which the habit
undermines; in his morals, which it
weakens; and in the self-abasement,
which it creates. But, as it leads
to neglect of business, and waste of prop
erty, and general demoralization.it affects
those who are immediately connected
with and dependent upon him. By the
general concurrence of opinion of every
civilized and Christian community- there
are few sources of crime and misery
to society equal to the dram-shop w here
intoxicating liquors in small quantities,
to be c-ank at the time, are sold indis
crimir tely to all parties applying. The
statistics of every State show a greater
amount of crime attributable to this than
any other source. The sale of such
liquors in this way has. therefore, at all
times Keen considered a proper subject
of legi lative regulation. For that mat
ter thu-ir sale by the glass may be abso
utely prohibited. It is a question of
public expediency and public morality,
and not of Federal law. There is no in
herent right of citizens to sell intoxicat
ing liquors by retail. It is not the privi
lege of a citizen of a State or of a citizen
of the United States.
In the prohibition or regulation of
the traffic, discretion maybe vested in
officers to decide to whom to grant and
to whom to refuse liquor licenses. Offi
cers may not always exercise the power
conferred upon them with wisdom or
justice to the parties affected, but that is
a matter which does not affect the au
thority of the State or one which can be
brought under the cognizance of the
Courts of the United States.
The Court says that it does not per
ceive tnat the ordinance under which
the prisoner was arrested violates any
provision of the Federal constitution or
laws, and that as to the State constitu
tion and laws it is bound by the decis
ion of the State Supreme Court that
the ordinance does not violate them.
The order discharging the prisoner from
custody is therefore reversed, and the
case remanded with directions to take
further proceediugs in conformity with
the opinion of the Court.
ALABAMA.
Col. MoClure to Deliver an Address at
Montgomery Th TJ. S. Senatorship.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Montgomery, Ala,, Nov. 9. Col.
McClure, of Philadelphia, and party ar
rived here to-night. Col. McClure will
deliyer an address at the Southern Ex
position grounds to-morrow, the occa
sion being Editors' Day at the Exposi
tion. The political pot of Alabama is boil
ing high. The contest for the United
States Senatorship is getting heated.
Senator Pugh, Governor Thomas Seay,
ex-Governor Thos. H. Watts, and R. F.
Kalb, Agricultural Commissioner, are
candidates, the latter relying solely on
the Alliance sentiment for his strength.
A New York dispatch says: The
deputy sheriff has returned unsatisfied
executions on three judgments, aggre
gating over $600,000, which were ob
tained against the Duchess of Marl
borough last week. The Duchess has
property here, and the income from the
estate of her late husband cannot be
levied upon.
GOVERNMENT FINANCES.
Purchases of Silver-The Monetary Pres

By Telegraph to the Morninn Star.
Washington. D..C, Nov. 10. Six
hundred thousand ounces of silver were
offered and purchased at the Treasury
to-day.
Secretary Windom was kept fully ad
vised of the condition of the money
market to-day, but did not feel called
on to take any action in the matter be
yond the purchase of all the silver bul
lion that was offered to the Department.
The director of the Mint said this was
done for the relief of the market. The
available treasury cash balance will be
used principally in redemption ui u c

offer of October 9th to redeem this class
of bonds on presentation at par witn in
terest to maturity September 1, 1891, is
still open. The bonds are coming in
very slowly, however, and the total re
demptions to date are less than five mil
lion dollars.
THE COTTON CROP.
Returns for November to the Department
of Agriculture.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, Nov. 10. Cotton re
turns for November to the Department
of Agriquiture are: County estimates
of yieldjbe1" acre, consolidation consider
ing away with rate of yield, with correc
tion only of obvious errors, makes the
average yield 187 pounds of lint per
acre. It is about the same as the yield
of last year, and better than the returns
of .the yield of last November, which
were exceeded by the results of the
final investigation. Some of the returns
report killing frosts, which did not ex
tend to large areas on the southern side
of the cotton belt. Much will therefore
depend on the weather of November
and December, not only in perfecting
the growth, but in saving the crop.
Should the season continue favorable
and the views of correspondents prove
conservative, the result may be slightly
larger than here indicated. The esti
mated yields by States are as follows:
Virginia, 168 pounds; North Carolina,
182; South Carolina, 175; Lreorgia, 165;
Florida, 108; Alabama, 160; Mississippi,
200; Louisiana, 238; Texas, 196; Arkan
sas, 225; Tennessee, 191.
THE CORrTcROP.
November Returns to the Department of
Agriculture.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, Nov. 10. November
returns to the Department of Agricul
ture of the rate ot yield per acre make
the average for corn 19.9 bushels; pota
toes, 57.5 bushels; buckwheat, 14.5
bushels; hay, 1.20 tons! tobacco, 7.18
pounds.
The corn crop makes the smallest
yield reported, excepting only that of
1881, which was 18.6 bushels. That of
1887 was 20.1 bushels. It is 83 per cent,
of the avearage of the last ten years'
period, which includes four unusually
poor years and only 73 per cent, of last
year's crop. Indications of recent re
turns have been so uniform that the
estimate for permanent record will not
likely change this figure, unless by a
slight fraction. The decline of the last
decade is not due to impairment of fer
tility, but to unfavorable meteorological
influences. The highest rates are in
New England, as usual.
ON THEWATCH.
The Iowa Democrats Guarding Against a
Miscount of Votes A Contest to be
Made in the Third District.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
DesMoines, Iowa, Nov. 10. Chair
man Fullen, of the Democratic Central

By Telegrapn m the Momnu .-tar
Philadelphia, November 10. The
official count of Allegheny county, com
pleted to-day, shows a majority for
Stewart, Republican for Congress, over
Craig, Democrat, of 2.661. This gives
Stewart a majority of 34 in the district
(24th) over Craig, whose election has
heietofore been claimed. In 1888 the
district gave Ray, Republican. 4,338 ma
jority. The delegation from the State

Arrest of a Noted Train .Bobber, "Who is
Said to Belong to an Excellent Virginia
Family.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Chicago, III., Nov. 10. To-night
post-office inspector C. ' Watkins, of
Chicago, will arrive here, having in cus
tody William E. Newberry, who is said
to be the leader of one of the most dar
ing train robberies in recent years. On
June 6 the Northern Pacific train was
stopped at New Salem, N. D., by high
waymen. Two masked men climbed
upon the engine and compelled the
engineer and fireman to detach the
engine from the train and then to pull
out. Haying taken the engine about
twenty rods, the engineer was ordered
to stop, and the engineer and
fireman taken back to the train, where
they were ordered to batter down the
door of the Express car. With the first
attack on the car the Express clerk es
caped from it and saved the contents-of
the safes, siuce he carried with him three
keys. Having entered the car the two
robbers compelled.the engineer, fireman
and the postal clerk to cut open the
mail pouches and carry the first-class re
gistered mail matter to the robbers'
horses. About five hundred packages,
containing $45,000 in cash, were se
cured. G. E. Bailey, one of the high
waymen, was subsequently captured,
and is now serving a term in the North
Dakota penitentiary. Search for New
berry has been carried on by the postal
authorities ever since, and he was ar
rested at Plains, Va., Saturday. Newr
berry comes of an excellent Virginia
fan-flv.
UNUSUAL PROCEEDING.
Arrest of Citizens of Georgia by TJ. S.
Marshals on the Charge of Conspiracy
and Murder.
Bv Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Macon. Ga., Nov. 10. Five citizens
of Dodge county were arrested Satur
day by U. S. deputy"; marshals, brought
here and committed to jail on the charge
of conspiracy, and murder of J. C. For
syth, at Normandale, in October. One
of the prisoners is Wright Lancaster,
sheriff of Dodge county; another is
Luther A. Hall, a Dodge county attor
ney, whose trial for perjury is now pend
ing in the Federal District Court.
A whitenan named Andrew Reneau
was shot by a mob for the murder of
Forsythethe day after it occurred, but
later investigation by a U. S. special
agent proved his innocence of the crime.
The men arrested are charged with
having conspired in, aided and abetted
the assassinatian. A sensational feature
is lent to the case by the arrests
being made by federal officers. Forsythe
was a Northern man and the case was
brought in the Federal Court on the
ground that at the time of the murder
he was, as agent of Norman W. Dodge,
enjoying the rights which had been guar
enteed by a decree of the U. S. Court.
STOCK MARKETS EXCITED.
European Humors Cause Heavy Decline
in Stocks on New York Exchange.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
New York, Nov. 10. A flood of
alarming cables form London and Paris,
predicting disasters in the markets
there this week, caused a panicky feel
ing in the Stock Exchange long before
the opening. Brokers tried to make
sales of stocks but could not find buy
ers, and as soon as the signal for begin
ning business was given no offers were
made, but every bid, no matter at what
price, was at once filled. This selling
caused Manhattan Elevated to fall from
100 to 92, a decline ot 8 points. West
ern Union fell 54- and other stocks,
with the exception of Vanderbilts, fell
from 2 to 6. There are no buying orders
in many of the specialties.
ILLINOIS.
Probability of the Election of John M.
Palmer to the TJ. S. Senate.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Chicago, Nov. 10. An error has
been discovered in the footing up of the
returns of the second district, and it now
appears that Kinney, Democrat, for
Representative, was elected instead
of Hoppin, Republican, as was re
ported. Owing to the fact that
t! ? two parties have been thought to be
a tie in the Legislature, this discovery is
of considerable importance. If the
official count verifies the election of
Kinney, the Democrats will have 101
votes in the Assembly and the Republi
cans but 100, thus making the election
of John M. Palmer to the U. S. Senate
the next thing to a certainty.

CHICAGO REVIEW.
Fluctuations in Prices of Grain and Pro
visions.
By Tep graph to the Morning Star.
Chicago, November 10. Wheat
Only moderate trading, and somewhat
unsettled and nervous,the monetary
situation and Wall street affairs having
considerable effect at present. A large
increase in the visible supply was an
other weakeuing- feature, as well as the
increase in private elevators in the
Northeast. The opening was weak and
lljc lower, influenced by the break
in stocks East. Later it became steady,
advanced lc, assisted by a little more
reassuring news from the East, and
closed c lower for December, c for
May than the closing figures Saturday.
Corn Fair trade, principally local,
and the feeling was a little unsettled,
changes being frequent within range.
The opening was easy, first trades being
HHC lower. Shippers were free sel
lers. The demand improved and prices
were forced up c; but did not hold, a
reaction of Jc following. The market
then ruled steady and closed MKC
lower than Saturday.
Oats were moderately active and un
settled, sympathizing with other cereals.
May opened c lower, but on buying by
several large houses advanced Kc
Prices then receded to previous inside
figures, closing slightly above the bot
tom figures of the day.
Pork was active and considerably un
settled. The opening was at Saturday's
figure, but the . inquiry was sufficient
to cause an advance of 4042Jc. At
the improvement there was more pres
sure to sell, and prices generally receded
2527Jc. Toward the close the feeling
was steadier and prices rallied 57Jc,
but trading was limited and the marker
closed quiet.
Lard quite active. The opening was
at Saturday's figures, and inquiry being
active prices advanced 7J10c. Later
the. feeling was easier again, with fair
offerings, and prices settled back 2J
5c, the market closing quiet.
Short rib sides were active, and prices
fluctuated more than usual. The open
ing was at 2Jc decline, the demand
brisk, and prices rapidly advanced 10
12c. Latef it settled back 710c.
Near the close the feeling was steadier
and the market closed at inside figures
COTTON.
The New York Sun's Beport of the Market
Yesterday.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
New York, Nov. 10. The Sun's
review of the cotton market to-day says
Futures opened at 9 to 10 points decline,
closing steady at 13 to 15 points decline
from yesterday's closing prices. It was
a field day on the Cotton Exchange.
The excitement and activity were very
great, and exceeded on but lew days in
the history of the Cotton Exchange. It
was a heroic struggle on the part of the
bulls, but the lates were against them
The opening decline was in response to
a bad break in Liverpool, which sur
prised both our bulls and bears. A small
recovery iouowea. being aided by a
demand to cover, Then came the report
from the Department of Agriculture It
was regarded as somewhat contradicto
ry and inconsistent in its statements
and comparisons, but the bears at once
declared that, comparing the yield per
acre and average with lbo2- 83, the yield
lor the current season must exceed 8,
000,000 bales. A fresh decline followed
in face of a demonstration by the bulls
that the yield can be no more than 7,
700,000 bales. The close, however, was
only at a sl.ght recovery from the low
est figures. Spot cotton here was dull
and weak.
A.slierht earthquake shock was felt in
Monmouthshire, Eng., on Saturday. The
rumbling lasted nine seconds.
There was much excitement in An
napolis, Md., Saturday night, over an
attempt by a mob to take a negro from
the jail and lynch him, who was charged
with assaulting a young white girl. The
negroes, in large numbers, armed with
revolvers, turned out to prevent the
lynching, and for a time there were fears
of a bloody riot. Troops were called
out, however, and finally quiet was re
stored, although much alarm still pre
vails. Charleston, November 10. Spirits
