The case was argued by Attorney General Bonaparte before tbe United Siatpa Supreme Court on April 10 last. Yesterday's decision is Hgainst bis contentions. Justice White was chosen to announce the majority opinion of the court. Jus? tice Dsy,. ol Ohio, formerly Secretary of State, concurred completely io the written opinion of Justice White. Oblef Jut-tice Fuller, Justice Peckham and Justice Brewer concurred in part only in the majority opinion. These three jurists concurred in the decision that the law was unconstitutional but (hey differed with Justice White and Day as to the reasoning by which tbat decision was reached. They set forth tbeir views in a seperate opinion of concurrence written by Justice Peckham, Following are the principal points from Justices White's opinion : "Tbe set then being addressed tc all common carriers engaged iu interstate commerce and imposing a liability upon them in fa vcr of any of their employes without qualification or restriction as to the business in which tbe carriers or ? heir employes m?y be engaged at the eime of irjuiy, of necessary Includes -tr j c*s wholly ou'side of tke power of Om;/ress to regulate commerce. "A few illustrations showing the operstion of the n'_.ute as to matters wholly independent of interstate com? merce will serve lo make clear tbe ex? tent of the power which is exerted by the statute. Take a railroad engaged in interstate commerce having a purely local branch operated wholly within a State Take again the same road hav? ing shops for repairs, and it may be for constiuction work, as well as a large accounting and t erical force, and hav? ing, it may be, storage elevators and warehouses, not to suggest besides the possibility of its being engaged in' other independent enterprises. Take a tele? graph company engaged in the trans? mission al interstate snd local messages lake au express company engaged in iical as well as in interstate business. Take a trolley line moving wholly with? in a State as to a large part of its busi? ness and yet as to the remainder cross? ing the State line. Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy a Sale Medicine for Children.
