AGAINST KENTUCKY LOTTERY.
The United states supreme Court De-
ciares Its franchise Invalid.

N'ti'T itS lnNHllu.
Washington. Nov. 30.-Justice Har-
Ian handed down the opinion Of the
United States supreme court yester-
day in the case of j. J. Douglass vs..
the commonwealth OF Kentucy. hold
ing the franchise of the Frankfort
lottery to be invalid. The case was
brought to this court by Douglass on
allegations of error in the decision of
the hentucy court OF appeals. which
was adverse to him. In rendering his
opinion Justice Harlan quoted the pro-
vision Of the Kentucy constitution Of
1891. revoking all lottery charters here
tofore granted. and forbiddng the ex-
istence of lotteries in the state. He
considered at some length the cOnten-
tion Of Douglass that the revocation of
his charter worked the revocation Of 4
contract, in violation of the constitution
of the United States. prohibiting any
state from passing law impairing con-
tracts.
1t was held that lottery grant Is
not in any sense a contract within the
meaning of the constitution. but is sim
ply gratuty and license, which the
state, under its police powers and for
the protection Of the public morals. may
at any time revoke and forbid the fur
ther conduct Of the lottery.
