J Tbe Act in qneetion attempta to author ice a lattery, and to allow the aala of lot* tery tioketa In thla State in direet viola tion of tha plain latter and apirit of tbia proviaion of tbe Oonatltntion. It would be a perveraloo of the language of tha Oon* •tllotion to aay that tba Aot ia valid. Beepondenta, however, oontend that the Oonetitution " doee not problbit private iolteriea, and waa by ita framara intended only to prevent tbe Legialatare from In volving the State ia a ayatom of pnblio lotleriaa aa a meant of ralalng money for the aervloe of tbe State," or, in other word*, that tbia oonatltntlonal provtaion waa only intended aa a limitation of power to prevent the Bute, aa a State, from en gaging in pnblio lotterlee for the parpoae of raiaing meant for tbe general revenue of tba State. Henoe they claim that tbe Suu baa tba right to aatborike private partiee to oonduot and carry on a lottery of tha obaraoter a pec id ed in the infor (na tion. In anpport of tbia poaitlon they refer to tbe debatee of tbe ConaUtutlonal Conven tion in California upon tbe adoption of a proviaion in tbe Oonetltatlon of that State identloal with onra. It la not claimed that theee debatee have tbe weight of a Judicial decialon, bat that it la proper to examine tbem in caaa of doabt aa to the intention of tha framera of tha Oooetitu tion. Tba remarka of tba different mem bera ihad bat little light upon tha nal ?location at iaaae. They are aa muob In avorof tba poaitlon taken by the Attorney Qeneral aa they are in favor of the reepon denta. Tbe debatee ahow that tba Conatl tation of New York waa referred to in dlacaulng the proviaion that waa adopted in California. Mr. Ilalleck, who waa in favor of the adoption of tbe lottery pro viaion. in the oonrae of hla argument, •aid : " In nearly all tba new Conatllu UooQffon will And tbia elaaae. It waa not oontalaed In tbe old Oonatltntion, bnt in moet oaaaa, where they have been amended, it haa been introdaoed. In tbe old Conatitation of New York, to which reference hu been made in the oonrae of debate, no prohibition waa lnaerted. Many gentlemen preaent would remember tbe famoaa caaa of Yataa and Mulntyre. which involved not only Individual* of tbe State in ruin, bat waa the o.-caaion of ee rloua embarraaameat to tba State Govern ment iteelf. The reealt eo clearly eatab liahed the evila of tbe lottery ayaum that tbe Convention of New York, in 18t6, ln aerted a elaaae in tbe very Drat article of tbe new Conatitntlon [ecu Section 10] prohibiting loiteriee and tbe eale of lot tery tickete. It appeared to him "• • • that thla prohibition waa una of tba beat that could be lnaarted in tbe artiole limit ing tba powera of the Leglalature." The language of the lUth Section of Ar tiole 1 of tbe Oonatltntion of 1846, refer red to by Mr. Halleck la aa followa : "Nor aball any lottery hereafter be autborlaed or any aala of lottery tioketa allowed with in tbia Stale." In to* uovornom or tne Aimsnouse vs. American Art Union, supra. it *u con tended by Cbarlee O'Connor, oooomI {or tbe Art Union, u It i* here, tbtt the Con stitution *h only intended to prevent the mischievous practice of railing a rerenuu by pablio loturlee, wbiob bed been for many years in full vigor both in England and In this country, and that the prohibi tion* of the OoDititutlou were only directed against this particular evil. He referred to tbe faot, a* do counsel hen, that "from 1709 to 1824 publio lotteries were author lied at every eeeelon of Parliament." He also referred to tbe debetee of the Consti tutional Convention of 1821, for thepur poee of showing that " publio lotteries for pecuniary prises as a means of raising revenue were alone within the contempla tion of that body." The Constitution of 1821 ia in these words: "No lottery shall hereafter be authorised in this State, and tbe Legis lature shall pass lawa to prevent the eale of all lottery tiekete within tbie State esoept in lotteriee already provided for by law." Tbe Court of Appeals in referring to this Constitution, which it declared to be sub ■tautlally tbe same as tbe Constitution of 1846, said: " This prohibition Is general. It must be held to embrace til lotteriee, unities there be some very clever and satis factory reason for understanding it in a more limited eense. It wee urged upon tbe argument that public lotterirs for pe cuniary priaee as a means of raising rev enue were alone within tbe contemplation of tbe framere of tbe Constitution. But lotteriee have never been created within this State for the purpose of general rev enue. and there ie therefore no ground for believing that tbe prohibition was in tended to bo limited to lotteriee for that objeot. This would have been restraining a mischief which did not exist, and tolsr a ting that which did. Lotterise had been authorised by the Legislature for the bene fit of colleges, for the making of roads, for tbe building of bridges, for the improve ment of ferriee. for tbe erection of hoe pitals. and for various other purpoeee equally oommendable and beneficial. All three were clearly within the prohibition. Tbe prohibition was not aimed at tbe ob Ki for which lotteriee had been author , but at that particular mode of acoom pliahlng such objects. It was founded on the moral principle that evil should not be done that good might follow, and upon tbe more cogent practical reason that tbe evil ooneequent on this perniolous kind of gambling greatly overbalanced In the aggregate any good likely to result from it. The promotion of the fine arte 1s un doubtedly a commendable object, but the prohibition oontalns no exception in its favor on that ground. • • • • • The Intention of the framers of tbe Con ciliation undoubtedly w»s to forbid the future granting of any such lotteriee as' bad at any time previously been author ised by law, and by requiring the Legis lature to pass laws to prevent the sale of all lottery tlokets, to put an end to all saob distributions of money or goods by lot or cbanos as bad theretofore been for bidden by statute under the name of private lotteriee." Tbe argument that the words " by this BUte" were Inserted for tbe purpoeeof preventing the Legislature from autboris mg publio lotteriee as a means of raising revenue, and that tbe provision was not intended to prevent tbe Legislature from authorising private lotteries. Is wholly un tenable. No authority baa been produoed In Its support and we are eatisfled that none can be found. In construing this provision of the Con stitution tbs last sentenoe is ss important as tbe first. If tbs framsrs of tbs Constitution bad latsodsd by the use of tbe words: " No lottery shall be authorised by Ibis State," to ooW limit tbs legialaUve powsr to pub menu*, they would net hire nied the language thay did In the oonclndlnf an teocs. " Nor shall the sale of lottery tick ete be allowed." Tbeee word* clearly ehow the! it wee sot Intended tbet any lottery ehoold be aathorined by this Bute for any parpoee. The worde " by this Btate," ee seed la oar Constitution. end tbe worde " in tbie Btete," "or Within thie State." as need in tbe Oonetttatlone of Mew York, here virtually tbe eeae meaning. •• Mo lottery ehall be eatboriaed by this Btete, nor shall the eale of lottery tieketo he allowed." Thle language applies to nil lotteries, whether poblle or prirete. To lotteriee oondueted by the State; by tbe oharoh; S private individual; ny benevolent and iritable associations, and by oorpora tlone. No lottery of any kind ou be antbor laed by tbe Lef leleture aader tbe preeent Oooititution. •••••*•• We again repeat whet, It seems to ae. mast be evident to every aabiaaed and In partial Hind, Uiat the language of tbe oonetitatioaal proviiloa ie too plaia for argument. That aader it the Legieletore eennot autborlae any lottery In thie Btete, end that the Act approved Maroh 9,1881, la null and void. We are ooneoloui of tbe feet that it wee nnoeoeeeary to add anything to thereeeon lug of tbie Court la *a van* Blaaobard, whlob ie, of itself, abeofately ooaolaelve agon both of the polnte we have dlseussed. But It bee been attempted, by a deelre upon our part, to (bow that no authority oould be found In any of the edjudloated oaeee in the United Btatee to eaetaln tbe poaltion oonteuded for Ijy reepondente; and that no arganeat hae been advanoed by reepondeute, upon either of tbeee polnte, that hae not heretofore been de elded advereely to them by tbe Oourte of other Btatee, where the oonetitatioaal provitioae are eubetantlally the same ee our <nrn. IK IB prupar kj nq ui»i wo u»to Mn<r«u »t tbe oonoluaion (Utcd without OOUiider lag the queetion of the morality, or Im morality of tbla particular eoheme. It makre do differenoe whether It *u aat on foot purely (or tba purpoaa of raising ret■ anna for tba benefit of the " Ioiane and Obarllabia Fund" of tbla State, or whether It belonged to that elaaa of lotterlee that art mad* op of pecuniary prlcea and min uter to the lore of gain ; wboee schemes addreea tbemeelvea lu tbe groeaeat and moat revolting form directly to that aordid paaalon, and to no other aentlment; where the managera receive a pecuniary profit and enllat" a oorpe of aotlve aeduoera to draw the weak and nnwary Into the par ohiae of tlokeu " by exteneive advertise menta oontalnlng brilliant pletarea of tbe favorable ehanoea to aoqalre andden wealth. It may be admitted for tbe pnrpoeee of tbla deolsion. aa wu argued by reepoo denta' counsel, that the people of thla State art essentially a gambling people, ready at all timee to take tbe deeperate cbanoee which lotterlee afford, and that no In Jurloue effeota upon tbe morale of tbe peo ple would reeult if tbla game of ehanoe waa allowed to proceed. This queetion la one that must be oon aidared aa aettled by tbe adoption of tbe oonatituiional provision |ez parte Darling, reoently decided.] In tbe Art Union cane, to which we have frequently referred, It waa oiaimed that tbe enterprise wu really of a meritorious obaractcr, and that it differed, In tbla re spect. from tbe lotterlee where the Diana agereweretu recelvtf tht-llon'e share of tbe proflta. The Coort, In anawer to thla argument, eaid: "II DO lotteries oau oxisiea excepting •ucb m U oouUined in the Art Union scheme, it is not probable that they would have been forbidden by the CoDititotioo or by law. Iu mlsoblefs arc oerululy not 10 apparent aa if iu priaee were to be paid in money, or m It woald be if framed for tbs purpose of enticing the neoeeaitous and improvfient into iu bsxsrds. Bat tbla oate cannot ba deoided according to tba viewe we mayentartainof tbs probabla good or evil consequent npon tbo »imu lion of tba acheme. Tba Constitution took away tba powar of determining wbatbar tbla or any otbar lotury waa of good or avil tendency, and certainly did not inland to oonfar tbat powar on tba Jndtoial tribunals If It vara to be ad mittad that tba lobtma U entirely barm laaa in it* oonaequanoee, it wonid form no ground for maaing it by Judicial con struction an exception to tba ganeral and abaolnta conatitutional prohibition." Oourta oannot make any diatinctlon, in tbla raapaet, aa to tba natnra of tba trans action or tba ubaraotar of peraona engaged in it. It la tbair boondan duty to declare tba law. ••The law knowa no person; It la not made for the Individual man, but for man. la the dew of bearm fails, so It beara alike upon the Juat and onjust." [State ra. Pieroe, 8 Nar., 804.] It amiiae and frowns npon all alike. It makee no dlatinotlona. Hnbmiaaion to ita authority la inoumbent npon ail. Third—It la nnneceaeary to dlacaia any of the other points suggested by respon dents' oouooil. We will not .preeume, in advanoe, that reepondente Intend to violate the law. From the viewe already eipreesed It Is appareut that it would make no difference whether reepondonfh base their right to act in the premises under the articles of incorporation or under the provisions of the Act of the Legislature. In either event their Acts would be without warrant of. law. Tba Judgment of this Court la that tba respondents have no right, liberty, or fraoobise, by virtue of any law, to adver Use, print, olroulate or aell any ticketa in the aobemc or enterpriee of the " Nevada Benevolent Association" within this Htate, or to do any of the acta epeolfied In the etatute, "to aid the Nevada Benevolent Association," approved March 0, 1881 [Hut., 1881. 188J; and that the coaU of this proceeding be taxed againat them.

The revenue from tba different branohee of bualneea haa been itaadlly on the de ereaee the paet year, and the Board of Truateee have been governed In expendl tnree accordingly.
