THE SUPREME COURT.
A Decision Rendered Uph olding the Orig
 inal-Package Law.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 26.-The United States Supreme Court to day decided that the original package law passed by the last Congress was valid and constitutional and that it went into effect in all States where prohibtory laws prevailed without enactment by the States of the laws by which they forbade the sale of intoxicat ng liquors within their boundaries, imported from other States or not. Chief Justice Fuller rendered the opinion of the court, and the bench was united in support of the conclusions at which he arrived, though Justice Gray announced that Justices liar. Ian, Brewer and himself did not concur in all the reasoning of the opinion of the court
 The case upon which the decision was rendered was that of John Nj. Wilkerson, Sheriff of Shawnee County K ansas, appel lant, versus A. Rahrer, brought here on ap- peal from the decision of the Giro uit Court Of the United States for tho District of Kansas against the State. Rahrer was the original package agent at Topeka, Kas., of the firm of Maynard, Hopkins &s Co. of Kansas City, Mo, and was arrested the day after the original package law went into effect He claimed that the law was un- constitutional and also that it could not go into operation until the State had 10 en- acted it's prohibitory law.
 The Court says the power of the State to impose restraints and burdens upon per sons and property In promotion of the public health, good order and prosperity is power always belong ng to the States, not surrendered by them to tue General Government nor directly restrained by the Constitution of the United States and essentially exclusive.
 The power of Congress to regulate com. merce among the several States vixen the subjects are national tn their nature, it says, Is also exclusive. The Constitution does not provide that interstate commerce shall be free, but, by the grant Of this ex- elusive power to regulate it, it was left free except as Congress might undertake to regulate it.
