THE PACIFIC RAILROAD CASE.
Justice Field Delivers Dissenting Opinion
How the Rights Of the States Are
Being Invaded by the Fed
eral Government.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Opinions were read
In the United States Supreme Court to-day
In the so-called Pacific Railroad case, de-
cisions OF which were simply announced on
the last day Of last term, the opinion of ma
jority Of the court affirming the constitutions
ality OF the Thurman sinking fund act was
delivered by Chief Justice Waite. Long dis
senting opinions We're read BY Associate JUS
tfces Strong, Bradley and Field In discus
sing the case Of the Central Pacific Company
Of California, Justice Field maintained that
the Thurman act Is unconstitutional, an
invasion OF the sovereign rights Of the State
OF California, inasmuch as it assumes Illegal
control over a State corporation and takes
from the State eli the latter's authority over
the company Of Its own creation.
Justice Fields opinion concludes as follows
Il am utterly at a loss to find where the au-
thorfty On the part OF the United States to
take such control from 1t, Is to be found Ex-
cepting the theories Of those who regard the
general government as the all-controlling
power of the nation to which States, even in
local matters, must bend, cannot assent to
any such theories. The government created
by the constitution left to the States the con
troll Of local matters. and it never entered
Into the conception Of It's trainers that under
tt the creations OF States could be
take taken by By 1t from Their control and
the matter. The doctrines announced Ia
the. opinion OF majority of the court
go further than any doctrines heretofore ad-
yanced, and any even thought possible In the
history OF the country. to destroy the in
dependence of States and establish their help
lessness even In matters of local concern, as
against the will of Congress- He must be
dull, indeed who does not see that under the
legislation and course of decisions of late
years our government IS fast drifting from
tablished by our fathers-into vast central
lied consolidated government"

now place on the throne a man fit for the posi-
tion and on whose friendship we can rely. It
may be difficult to find man to succeed the
present Ameer, and when found he may at
first require active support, but tho task will
be light compared with that Of upholding a
weak and irresolute puppet like Yakoob
Khan.

says: It Is quite possible that the abdication
Of the Ameer OF Afghanistan may ultimately
further Impose on us the punishment Of Ca

unfit to rule turbulent people.

run for Congress next year in the district

most active canvass. and they claim that they
will get the votes of great many CoDserva-
ttves who are opposed to reputation. Re-
publican ex-member Of Congress from Louis

If the Republicans would spend as much
money in Louisiana and send half as many

go Republican by o bigger majority than
Ohio had just gone. He told Secretary Sher-
man that he ought to go himself down to
Louisiana and take part In the campaign.
Mr.. Sherman said he would like to CO. but
could not. on account Of his engagements to

would be received In Louisiana, and was told
that he would meet with such an ovation as

it not only superbly perfect but totally
without single Objectionable feature.
The circus performance We never saw, as

grand and perfect, and unquestionably the
best that ever showed In Detroit. The

When the Bowels are Disordersa.

No time should be lost IN resortiug to a
suitable remedy. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is the most reliable and widely es-
teemed medicine of its class. 1t removes
the causes of constipation. or of undue re-
taxation of the intestines, which are usual
Iy indigestion or a misdirection of the
bile. When it acts as cathartic. it does
not grippe and violently evscuate. but pro-
duces gradual and natural effects, very I'M
like those of drastic purgatiVe: and its
power of assisting digestion utilities those
irritating conditions OF the mucous mem
brane of the Stomach and intestinal canal
which produce FIRST diarrhoea, and event
ually dysentery. The medicine is, more
over, an agreeable one, and eminently pure
and wholesome, Appetite and tranquil
nightly slumber are both promoted by it.
