ting. We can take IL up now, as we
have done, and continue the consider
alton of The bill. and postpone it by
special order as we NAV think proper.
As To the constitutionality OF the bill,
or rather the action or the Supreme
Court, there is wide distinction which
should be borne in mind. Whenever
there is Il doubt of the pTopriety Of Il
bill, ii is safe TO vote against il; but the
Supreme Court acts on the reverse of
this. The Supreme Court acts on the
supposition that the Legislature acted
Alright in passing the bill. That IS the
presumption. The Legislature having
doubt about a bill, vote against the
proposition; the Court having doub,,
agree to sustain Il proposition.
