Even women joined in the ribaldry, aud

TIE wissensiu Railread Law.


CHICAGO, May 2.-Tbe officials OF the
Chicago and Northwestern and the Mil
~aukee sud st. Paul Railroad Conpa.
nies, at Milwaukee, state that they
have the written opinions OF Judge B.
R. Curtis, OF Boston. and Hon. W. NJ.
Evarts, OF New York, that the Wiscon-
sin railroad law, which these comps-
MES have decided to contest, is clearly
unconstitutional. The main points Of
Judge Curtis opinion are, briefly. that
the. Law attempts arbitrarily to fix the
charge for the use OF labor aud
material by a railroad corpo.
ration acting as common carrier, q right
not belonging to the State. Second
That certain sections OF the Law amount
20 a partial confscation OF the
railroads property without making
provision for ADEQUATE compensation
therefor, or at least providing for the
means Of ascertsinipg what amount
sucn compensation should be, or how it
should be paid. Third-Ii the effect Of
the law when enforced and put into
practical operation, should be 10 reduce
the earnings of railroad corporations,
owing to the operating lines in the State
under the general charters, to such .
point as to render il impossible for such
CORPORATIONS to pay the interest on the
bonds issued by them, the result would
be on the part of such company vio'
lstion OF thti- contracts with their
bondholders, aud the State has no right
to interfere with the contracts between
the railroad company and third par
ty, always provided that such contract
is within the legal powers OF such COR
poration. The opinions are not yet
published, and the points made by
Evarts are not yet known.
