A Decision Affecting the Right to Regulate
Commerce Between the States.

A Decision Affecting the Right to Regulate
Commerce Between the States.
WASHINGTON, March ia decision was rem
dered by the Supreme Court of the United States
to-day. in the case of the Cooper Manufacturing
Company of Mount Vernon, Ohio, plaintiff in
error, against Ferguson & Harrison, in error to
the Circuit Court of tbs United States for the
district of Colorado. This was suit brought by
the manufacturing company to recover sum
of money alleged to be due it on contract for
machinery to be furnished to Furguson e. Har-
risen, defendants In error who were firm doing
business In Colorado. Ferguson e Harrison set
Ep q defense that the manufacturing company,
in making this contract, was DOING
business in Colorado unlawful1y, since
the Consultation and laws of that State prohib-
tied foreign corporations from tranSacting bust
ness there, unless they fled certificate with
the Secretary of State and opened regular Office
principal place of business for the State and
put 1T in charge of duly authorized agent This
court holds that the defense OF Ferguson e
Harrison is not good, inasmnch as it is not
shown that the manufacturing company had any
other business transaction, or intended to have
any other business transaction, in Colorado than
this particular one. The statutes of the State,
the court holds cannot be construed to impose
upon a foreign corporation limitations OF
for carrying on commerce between States, for
that would be an invasion Of the right of Con-
gress to regulate commerce between the several
States. The prohibition against doing any bust
ness cannot therefore be literally interpreted
Literally construed, the Constitution and
statutes of Colorado forbid not the doing of a
single act of business in the State, but thecarry
ing on Of business by foreign corporation
without fling certificate and appointment of an
agent as required by the statute. The Judgment
of the court below is reversed, and the case re-
manded for further proceedings.
Justices Matthews and Blatchford concur in
the Judgment but base their concurrence upon
the ground that the construction claimed for the
Constitution of Colorado and the statute passed
IN execution Of it, cannot be extended to prevent
the plaintiff in error, corportion of another
State, from trapsacting any business in Colora-
do, which Of itself is commerce. The transaction
In question was clearly of that character. 1t was
making contract ia Colorado to manufacture
certain machinery in Ohio, to be then delivered
there for transportation to the purchaser in Col
grado. That was commerce. and to prohibit it.
except upon conditions, is to regulate commerce
between Colorado and Ohio, which is within the
exclusive province Of Congress. The State of
Colorado cannot prohibit a foreign corporation
from selling In that State, by contract made
there, its machineryauan elsewhere.

FATHER CORRIGAN SUSPENDED.
Bishop Wigger's Action with Reference to the
Book, Bishop and Priest"

New YORK, March 16-Bishop Wigger has
suspended Father Patrick Corrgan, of st. Ma
rvs Roman Catholic Church. in Hoboken, from
the performance of his priestly functions. Faith
er Corrigan is regarded as man of much piety
and learning. About a year ago he published a
treatise entitled Bishop and Priest, in which
he temperately advocated the right of priests to
have a voice in the selection of their bishops In
Europe the practice is for the priests of a do
cese to nominate candidates. The. names OF
these candidates are referred to Rome where
one of the candidates is chosen for the bishop
ric. In the United States, however, the priests
have no formal voice in the appointment of bish-
ops
Bishop Wigger summoned Father Corrigan
to his presence, and pointed out to him certain
propositions In the treatise to which he objected
For the entire work he expressed so much disap-
proval that he ordered its publication and sale
to be discontinued. Father Corrigan submitted,
and the stereotype plates Of the book were de-
stroyed by order of and in the presence of Bishop
Wigger.
The author, however, prepared second edi-
ton of his book from which he omitted all the
passages to which his superior had specifically
taken exception. The proof-sheets of this ex-
purgated edition were taken to Italy by clerical
friend of Father Corrigan, and were submitted
by him to the judgment of Cardinal Jacobini
The Cardinal, so far from disappearing of the
views set forth in the book, or Of the manner of
their treatment commended them for their
learning and piety, and spoke very highly of
the book. A translation of it into Italian was
published In Rome, and the English version was
soon afterward printed in this country. The
work had large sale. A new edition of it was
issued four months ago. and then it was rumored
that Bishop Wigger meant to interfere, but he
did not do so. On last Tuesday, however he
sent Father Corrigan an official notice that he
had been suspended for contumaciously disre
garding the episcopal prohibition against the
publication of the book.
Father Corrigan lives in plain brick house
adjoining his magnificent church. Tie interior
of his house is severely simple, and would be
more simple than it is if his congregation had
net recently insisted ON giving him present of
some furniture He received reporter with a
hearty shake of the hand, but declined positively
to say anything in regard to his suspension, ex-
cept that be had been suspended, and that he
did not know how long he would remain sus-
pended. He said, however. that he would con-
tinue to occupy the pastoral residence, although
he could not oficiate in the church.
