THE LOTTERIES MUST GO
SUPREME COURT APPROVES
THE ANTILOTTERY LAW,
Now NO Paper Can Go Through
the Malls If 1t Has a Lottery
Advertisement In 1.-THE Case
was u Test One.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The United
States sup'eme court today upheld the
constltutonality OF the anti-lottery act
OF the last congress, affirming the decis-
ION in the case of Deyue and Raher, pub
fishers of the New Orleans States and
Mobile Register, who were indicted on
charges of sending through the mails
newspapers scontalning lottery advertise
ments. BY common consent the cases
were made test suits as to the constitu.
tionality of the law.
Chief justice Fuller announced that
owing to the death of Justice Bradley, to
whom the writing of the opinion in the
anti-lottery case had been given, the
court would postpone any elaboration
ot its views and con6ne itself to the ex
preston of the general ground on which
the decision proceeds.
The court then said that the opinion
in ex parte Jackson held that the power
vested IN congress to establish post.
offices and pos;roads embraced the reg
ulatlon OF the entire postal system of the
country, and designated what may and
what may not be excluded. The power
granted congress was complete and car
RED with 1t the power to forbid the use
OF the mails in aid of perfecting crime or
immortality. The court says there is no
distinction between mala prohibita and
mala in Sc, and that it must be left to
congress i'll the exercise of a sound dis
erection to determine what shall be ex-
cluded. There is no abridgement of the
freedom OF the press for the reason that
the government does not prohibit com
muncatlon by other means, but simply
through government agencies which it
controls.

The democrats of the house will hold
caucus to decide what action shall be
taken on the silver question.
1t is believed that one result of the set
tlement OF the Chilian difficulty will be
an entire change in the diplomatic rep
resentatives OF the two countries,
The farmers Alliance convention at
Chicago adjourned sine die. The consti-
tuition was amended so as to make
twenty-five local organizations enough
to form state body. This will let in
several small states, and will materially
conduce to the growth of the national
body.

and by his wise decisions has shown
himself man peculiarly suited to the
position. He has made friends every
where and all of these will regret his de-
clsion to resign. The Judge says his in
tercourse with members of the bar and
all with whom he has come in contact
has been most pleasant, but he desires to
spend all his time in Ashevile with his
family, which he could not do while
holding the judgeship.
There are several candidates for the
appointment to succeed Judge Merri-
mon. These are Judge George A. Shu-
ford, OF the firm of Jones & Shutord,
Asheville; Kope Elias, of Franklin; Gar
land 5. Ferguson, of Waynesville; Judge
II. Bascom Carter, Of the criminal court
OF Buncombe; J. NJ. Gudger, alderman OF
