ADVERSE TO kEMMlER:

The Supreme Court Of the United States Re-
fuses to Interfere In the Murdersr's
Favor.
WASHINGTON, May e4.-The Supreme
Court of the United States YESTERDAY
denied the application for a writ Of
error in the case of Kemmler, under
sentence Of death by electricity. The
opinion was by Chief Justice Fuller.
The opinion first recites the proceed
ings in the lower courts leading up to
the bringing Of the case to this court.
and says that it is urged in Reminders
behalf that the Fourteenth amendment
is prohibition on the State of inn
position of cruel and unusual punish
ment this being included in the
term due process of law" The origin
of the phrase ''cruel and unusual pun
ishment' was in the English act of set
tlement in 1866 and meant that barbar.
Gus methods of punishment should not
be inflicted. 1t meant that a man
should not be sentenced to death by
torture. but did not mean that the death
penalty itself was cruel. The Court of
Appeals held that the punishment in
ficted on kemmler was unusual, but
that there was no evidence to show that
it was cruel. The Legislature of New
York had the facts bearing upon this
question and the court must presume
that the Legislature had devised a
punishment it thought less cruel than
the former mode. That decision was
not against any special privilege set up
by the prisoner and was SO plainly right
that the co urt would not be justified in
Overruling it. The Fourteenth amend
ment did not materially change the
whole theory of the Government. Citi-
zens still remain citizens, both Of the
State and of the United States. The
only change in that amendment fur
nished an additional guarantee against
encroachment by the State upon the
fundamental rights of the citizens The
privileges and immunities of citizens of
the United States are protected by
them. Those are the privileges arising
out of the essential nature and charac-
ter of the National Government.
The Court quotes the opinion in the
HurtadO case on the meaning of the
phrase, due process of law. The change
in form of death was within the legiti-
mate sphere of the Legislative power of
the State. The Legislature of the State
of New York determined that it did not
inflict cruel and unusual punishment
and its courts have sustained that de-
termination. This court can not see
that the prisoner has been deprived of
due process of law. In order to reverse
the Judgment this court should be COM
PEELED to hold that the Court Of Appeals
had committed an error so gross as to
deprive the prisoner of his const tutional
rights. The Court has no hesitation IN
believing it can not do this.

HITROvo, the Russian Minister to Blu
charest has been summoned to ST. Pc.
tersburg to receive the censure of his
Government for the bupgling manner
in which he managed the Panitza con-
spiracy against the life Of Prince Ferdi-
nand OF Bulgaria. When the plot was
discovered NJ. Hitrovo was openly &C
cused of having instigated it and the &C
cusation has never been refuted. The
ostensible reason for his recall is to
enable him to exculpate himself from

doubt, so a dispatch states, the real
reason is that he is to be disciplined for
failing to carry the conspiracy to sue

Court by the counsel for Gregg, defend

Swayne said that the point was a very

Attorney General Kellogg has adj
dressed letter to prosecuting officers
instructipg them as to their duty in en-
forcing the Prohibitory law, in which he
says:
The decision of the Supreme Court Of the
United states In the ''original package" case
from Iowa is in opposition to the Prohibitory
law OF this State. 1t is in opposition to the
unanimous opinion of the Supreme Court Of
this State in the case of the State of Kansas
vs.. Fulker, decided at the January term,
1881 1t is in opposition to the views of .
large majority OF the people OF the State.
The dec 8 on was rendered by a divided
court The better law and the better reason
are to be found in the dissenting opinion of
justices Gray, Harlan and Brewer. 1 &C.
knowledge the authority of this decision,
but am not disposed, by reason of the fore
gong facts, to acknowledge its authority
Icrther than the facts in the case and the
language made use Of by the court require.
1t Is the foreign or non resident importer
who sells in the original, unbroken package

else.
The decision, therefore, is not applicable

VIII lie subject to arrest and punishment un.
der the provisions of the ProhibiiOry law
the moment he steps beyond the narrow line
OF making the first sale of the intoxicating
liquor in the unbrOken, orig nal package in
which it was imported. The sale of single
bottles OF beer, wine or other intoxicating
liquors taken out of the case or barrel. or
box in which they, with other bottles, were
imported, is a violation Of the law and
would subject the offender t, fine and i'm.
pr .sonment. Where there is evidence that
the person claiming to sell intoxicating Ii.
quor in the 'orginal package" is not for
eign or non resident importer. or the agent
of one, or where there is evidence showing
that the sale is not that OF the entire "Orig-
inal package in its unbroken state, the
person should be promptly arrested and
p. aced upon trial.
II the seller permits the opening of tho
''original package" and the drink ing of the
liquor upon his premises, he should be
promptly arrested and placed upon trial for
keeping and maintaining a common
nuisance under the provisions OF the Pro-
hibitory law. No single bottle of intOx cat
ing liquor, however securely it may be
cOrked or sealed, can constitute the orig
in II package" unless it is separately i'm.
ported in that par. ocular form. Where more
than one such bottles are imported together
and shipped in a closed or open box, or in
separate compartments of a closed or open
case, the entire box or case and its contents
constitute the original package.
1t is my advice, the efore, that every man
who sells Intoxicating liquors in Original
packages should be closely watched and
promptly arrested il he swerves a hairs
breadth from the line
