THE PITTSBTJKGr DISPATCH, SATURDAY APRIL 55, 1891. 5 1 . - BIG LEGAL FIGHT Soon to Occur in -tlie Supreme Court Over the Anti-Lotterj Law. FREEDOM OP THE PRESS IS IT. Line f irjrfments to Be rollowjed bj De fendants' Counsel. 5 HE POWEES OF C0KGEE6S DEFINED. tTIlOlI X STAFF COBRXSPOXDKKT.l AVAbHlKGTOX, April 24. As Attorney General Miller is convalescent it is expected that what are known as the "freedom of the press cases," which involve the question of the constitutionality of the anti-lottery law, will be herd by the Supreme Court soon, Solicitor General Taft representing the Government if Mr. Miller should fail to ap pear. The case3 are against publishers of the Mobile -Register and New Orleans States, newspapers, lor publishing lottery advertisements. Mr. Hannis Taylor, the author of a -volume entitled "The Origin and Growth of the English Constitution." will alone repre sent the Register. The States will be repre sented by lion. Thomas J. Semmes, the leader of the New Orleans bar, and James C. Carter, Esq., a leading attorney of New York. Mr. Taylor, in outlining hia argu ment to representatives of the press to-day, gave an interesting account of press censor ship in Great Britain, and followed with his conclusions based on present laws and practices. Great English Legal Flcht. "Down to near the close of the last cen tury," he said, "it was an open question in England whether in a trial for criminal libel the criminality of the subject matter of a publication should be determined by the Judge or the jury. This controversy led to the great ficht in Westminster Hall, in which the right oj the Judge to settle the question was upheld by Mansfield and the right of the jury by Erskine. "This controversy, which began in 1764, continued down to May, 1791, when Mr. l"ox introduced his famous libel act, which declares thtt the right in question belonged to the jury and not to the judpe. The free dom of speech and the press in England means therefore nothing more than this: No man can be punished tor an utterance or a publication until the cnilt of the subject matter of the same has been ascertained by a jury of his peers. "The first amendment was adopted just s x months alter Mr. Fox's libel act was in troduced, and is nothing but an echo and embodiment of that great measure. Free dom ol the press in America is. therefore, just what it is in England. No American citizen can be punished in any form on ac count of any publication made or sent by him until the criminality of the subject matter of the same has been ascertained by a jury of las peers. The Question or Immorality. "This is well illustrated by the Federal statutes, which provide that any person who tends an immoral book through the malls thall he punished alter a jury has as certained the fact that such book Is in fact immoral. Suppose these statutes should be so amended as to enumerate the books which Congress considers immoral, leaving ouly the fact of sending for the jury to as certain. In thai event they would be eiearly unconstitutional, for the simple rea son that the vital question the criminality of the subject-matter of the publication, which is purely a judicial question would be tran'ferrtd from the jury to Congress. This illustrates the vice of the anti-lot-tcrv law. In it Congress usurps a purely judicial function by attempting to adjudi cate beforehand and without due process of Ian, that the subject-matter of every publi cation in a. letter or newspaper concerning a lottery is criminal. "This cuts the heart ont of the freedom of the press. If Congress can adjudicate that one part of a newspaper is criminal, it 'can extend the same power to every other part. If the nghc of the Jurr alone to pass upon the criminality of a publication is taken away, the- keystone will be withdrawn from the arch upon which the entire fabric of Anglican freedom of opinion is superim posed. That is the main paint of my argu ment." "Wliat will be the line of Mr. Carter's argument?" The Towers of Congress. '''Mr. Carter, in his argument, will devote himself mainly to the proposition that Con gress can't so pervert one of its legitimate powers to an illegitimate end as to ac complish a purpose entirely outside of Federal jurisdiction. Congress has the power to regulate the mails, but it has no power to suppress lotteries within a State. The avowed purpose oT this act, as evidenced by its terms and by the reports of the commit tees to which it was referred, is to suppress lotteries. Mr. Carter's strong position is up held by a great army of authorities." "Mr. Semmes, who will close the discus sion as leading counsel, will support the two contentions advanced bv Mr. Carter and myself, and at the same time he will pre sent with his usual trenchant power the leral status of the lottery company under the constitution and laws of the State of Louisiana, which alone possess the power to suppress it." In conclusion, Mr. Taylor said: "This case will no doubf become a landmark, as the judgment mil embody the first defini tion ever made by the Supreme Court of the ireedom of the press in the United States. Until the present Congress met, nobody had ever dared to assail it." LlGllTXEK. AHOTHEB POSTPONEKENT In the Bering Sea Caso Probably Owing to Jnstice Bradley's Illness. Washington, April 24. The condition of Justice Bradley, who has been confined to bis house for two weeks with a cold and an attack of the grip, is not so favorable to day as it had been and his associates are apprehensive that he will not be able to be present in court next Monday when the Bering Sea and lottery cases should come tip. He had been steadily improving and, up to this morning, it was thought that he Mould be in court Monday if tbe weather was mild. The Court is averse to hearing either cf these important matters without a. full bench, and it is probable, therefore, that they will again be postponed. As the term ot the court is drawing rapidly to a close, a farther postponement would make it almost, though not quite certain, that these cases would not come up until next October or November alter the court reconvenes. HEBEKER OK HAND. The New Treasurer of the United States Arrives in Washington. "Washington, April 24. Hon. Enos Nebeker, of Indiana, recently appointed United States Treasurer, reached Washing ton this morning. Later in the day he cHed on Secretary Foster, with whom he had a brief interview. Mr. Nebeker also filed his bond lor the faithful performance of his duties. He will not, however, enter upon the duties of his office till the deposi tory banks make their settlements on Satur day. Tbe count of the cash and securities in the Treasury, which is always made upon tbe incoming of a new Treasurer, will com mence next Monday. Secretary Halford's Vacation. Washington, April 24. Elijah W. Halford, Private Secretary to President Harrison, left for New York this morning. He will sail lor Europe to-morrow. Mr. Halford is accompanied by his daughter, JMiss Jeannette. They will 'be absent about cix week. .SB' 'i& isylA LOTTERY TICKET DUTY. A REMARKABLE DICISI05 FBOM THE TREASURY DIPJUtTHEKT. Tickets Shipped Into the Country hy a Mex lean Lottery Company Mnst Be Assessed 25 Per Cent Ad Valorem Some Fine Points Involved. IFBOH A STAFF COEKXSrOSDEXT. Washington, April 24. One of the most remarkable decisions that has issued from the Treasury Department for a long time was that given out to-day in answer to an inquiry made by Frank Clark, collector of customs at EI Paso, Tex. El Paso, on the Rio Grande, is tbe chief port for the entry of goods from Mexico in the United States. It seems that large quan tities of tickets of the Juarez Lottery Company, of Mexico, have been shipped into the United States by ex press, or as freight, not being admissible through the mails. Of course they were subject to examination by the Custom House officers. Hitherto they have been admitted by the collectors, believing they were duti able, but the extent of the business led Mr. Clark, who is a very clever and wideawake young man, to made the inquiry noted. The law clerk of the customs division of the Secretary's office write an opinion, which was in substance that there was no law prohibiting the admission of tnem, ex cepting through the medium of themails. The opinion stopped there, and was in that shaped submitted to Assistant Secretary Spaulding, who, after thinking a moment, added a sentence that will make swim the heads of the companies which have been shipping lottery tickets. It was this: "Duty should be assessed at the rate of. 25 per cent ad valorem." Tax on the Tickets. Tbe construction intended to be put upon this by the collector, is that 25 per cent of the face value of the tickets shall be charged, which would, apparently, have the effect of preventing the lottery com panies from sending their tickets through tbe Cnstom House. In other words they would-smuggle them across, and a relay of "coast guards" would be necessary to ap prehend the smugglers. But the decision involves a delicate point at law. that will probably be taken to the courts. At the very least it is probable the Secretary will be asked for an explanation of the law in more elaborate form. The provision of the tariff act that all printed matter, not otherwise especially pro vided for, shall pay a duty of 25 per cent ad valorem, was hardly intended to apply to lottery tickets. At least such an applica tion was never contemplated. Tbe printed matter known to the lawmakers was mere commercial printing, that could be classed as ordinary merchandise. While lottery tickets are in a sense merchandise, they are certainly not the sort of merchandise con templated by the law. Valne of a Chance. Intrinsically a lottery ticket is only worth a fraction of a cent, and the question is whether the duty should be imposed on their value or on a fictitious value that it has as a "chance." and a very small chance, in a lottery. All these things are admitted at the Treasury Department with a broad smile of acquiescence, bnt the Assistant Secretary says as he smiles: "There are my instructions to Mr. Clark; let the lottery companies get over them as they can. I as sume that the value of a lottery ticket is what it will sell for, and they have a fixed price. On that a duty of 25 per cent shall be charged." The only decision which hears the faintest relation to this case was one rendered a few years ago by Assistant Secretary Maynard, in relation to certain Mexican bonds which were sent Into the United States. It was decided they were not merchandi:., and not dutiable. They were a promise in cer tain circumstances to pay a certain sum. Some of the authorities of the department say that this is exactly what a lottery ticket is. That it is a bond 'promising a certain sum in certain circumstances, and is no more merchandise than the Mexican bonds. Another, Phase of It. There is a great diversity of opinion about the matter in the Treasury Department, but, of course, the Assistant Secretary's instructions will stand till they are upset. Collector Clark was telegraphed to-day, and, donbtless, something will be heard very soon from the other end of the line. Another phase of the case may come np under the new copyright law. The lottery ticket is copyrighted, oiud, if Mexico ac cepts the terms of the new copyright law in the matter of reciprocity, tbe tickets will probably have to be admitted free of duty. Nearly all of the stock of the Juarez Com pany is held in the United States. Colonel Mosby, of Confederate guerrilla fame, is the manager, and Russell Harrison has been said to have an interest in it. The decision of the department will affect not only the Mexican companies. Other foreign companies in Italy and Austria each send hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of lottery tickets to this country, sold prin cipally among Germans and Italians, and vigorous protests will be heard from various quarters of Europe.
