The Liquor Prosecutions stopped.

What Mr.. Weller called sudden pull
vi" has happened to the numerous new pros
ecutlons under the prohibitory liquor law of
this state that have been instituted by the
active agency of the state constable organl-
zation. 1t seems that Mr.. Caleb Cushing,
who is head counsel for the associated liquor
sellers in Massachusetts,, has been wandering
among the old laws In Washington, and has
there found federal statute, passed In 1888,
and growing out of South Cardinals then at
tempted notification of the tariff laws, which
provides that, in any case that involves the
revenue laws, or in which their authority is
concerned the United States courts may or
shall issue their mandamus, and take the
case out Of the strife courts and try it them
selves. AS the United States lie now collect.
ing revenues by taxes on liquor selling these
cases under our prohititory law are held to
involve questions of revenue, and so, at the
instance Of the liquor dealers lawyers, the
United States circuit court for this state has
ordered all such cases stopped in our state
courts and sent up to itself for further action
The order first appeared yesterday and was
sent to the superior court sitting in Spring
field, and thus put stop to the trial of the
numerous indictments under oar LIQUOR law
that the grand jury had recently found.
1.-THE rule IL, Of course, of universal appli-
cation; aud in consequence ali prosecutions
under the liquor law nnst stop. and wait for
decision IN the United States supreme
court. And as the liquor dealers will not be
content short of decision upon the constitu-
tinnalty Of the law itself by tho full court at
Washington. it is quite likely to be some
time before we shall reach the end of this
new phase of the question. Meantime. the
occupation of the state constables is substan-
TALLY gone; they have only the BARRIERS and
apothecary stores to keep from Sabbath
breaking. Yet it is to be hoped all parties
will unite in seeking speedy solution of the
question. The cause of good morals requir es
1t to be known as soon as possible precisely
what state rights are as to the sale of liquor ;
how those which have been conceded to the
states heretofore are affected by our new sys
tenn of national taxation. All good citizens
must lament ana deplore the new invitation
that the present interruption to state prose
cutions will give to grog shops; and with
them We can only hops that out of the compl
cation will come a clearer exposition of the
constitutional law on the subject, and more
practicable modes of lighting the evil, that
the iHdisoriminate and irresponsible sale OF
ardeut spirits spreads In every community.

EMERsoN's LEcTURE.-By reference to our
advertising columns it will be seen that
Ralph Waldo Emerson will lecture in this
city. His fame as lecturer should ill the
hall from turret to foundation stone, and thus
help fill the treasury of the Young Mems
Association. So far, we doubt if the course
of lectures has Melted anything, and we re-
ally think our people ought to turn out and,
besides having pleasant evening, contrib
ute, by the admission fee, to the funds of the

he may be, and we suppose it to be the street
supervisor, is called to dangerous trap in
the sidewalk on Orleans street, near the cor

pedestrians are in danger from it. and the
city is liable to heavy damages, which the
people must pay. There are other places,
nearly as bad, in many parts of the city, es-
pecially in front of the Warren property
near the Second Presbyterian church These
places demand Immediate and effective atten-
ton. Shall they have it?
