PROHIBITION IN NEW-YORK

We state with entire confidence and after extern
siye inquiry that Liquor Prohibition niU be upheld
BY our Legislature just chosen. Whatever moditca-
tiOns shall be made by that bedy in the present
law will be intended and calculated to Obvate the
bubbles and cavls of certain legal and judicial
hackers of the Liquor Traffic, and render the act
more effective and practical than it has been. We
believe that no decided action will be taken on the
subject until the Court of Appeals shall have ndi-
Gated by its Judgment in the cases on its calendar
to what extent and in what particular the act Of
1885 needs amending to conform il to said Courts
ideas of constitutional power. If the Court should
see fit to pronounce the law unconstitutional in its
essence and purpose, OF course the Legislature
will be obliged TO conform; but Of that we think
there need DO little apprehension. In that case, it
viii not be the People nor the Legislature but the
Courts which prevent fair trial of the policy Of
Prohibition. At the worst, we rejoice that the
reign Of confusion, anarchy and impunily to vice
inaugurated by certain judges Ct the Supreme
Court draws to close II the law is as they make
it, then the law is not in that respect terror to
eyil.lOers but their shield, and the blame should
res: on it, not on its expounders. We shall proba
bly, have a conclusive decisien in February next.
