THE ANARCHIST CASES.

They Come Up for Argument in the U. s.
Supreme Court Today.
The cases of Samuel Fielden and Michael
Schwab, the Chicago anarchists convicted of
completely in the famous Haymarket riots and
now confined in Joliet penitentiary under life
sentence committed by the governor of Illinois
from death sentence. came up in the United
States Supreme Court shortly after IL o'clock
today for argument
The court room was comfortably filled, but
no unusual interest was taken in the case. Gen.
Benz. f. Butler. looking quite feeble, was in
court as one OF the counsel for the imprisoned
men andattracted some attention.
The two cases embrace the same questions but
were argued separately, that of Fielder being
first taken up. Mr.. Solomon, who had pushed
the cases for the men and been their council
from the beginning of the trials, opened the
argument. The ground on which the cases
came before the court is that the time for the
enforcement OF the original sentence Of death
imposed by the trial court having expired
without its having been put in force. the su-
preme court of the state of Illinois, on Sep
TENDER IA, 1887, pronounced q judgment and
sentence OF death against the men, who were
not then present in court.
Mr.. Solomon maintained that the men not
hivlng been present when the state supreme
court had pronounced sentence it was a de-
prival to them Of the Que pr ocess Of law and
contrary to the provisions OF the Constitution
OF the United States.

Ex-senator Edmunds Tells the Supreme
Court They Erred in Constituting the Law
Litigants whose suits were upset by the
Supreme Court of the United States have ffe-
quently given utterance to opinions which, if
substantiated, would convince the world that
the court was all wrong, but it was left for
ex-senator Edmunds to tell the court that it
had erred in a most important matter. 1t was
done yesterday. Mr.. Edmunds was counsel
for the state Of Vermont: ex-senator and ex-
Attorney General Garland was counsel on the
other side of the suit-attorney for John
ONeil, Whitehall, N. Y. liquor dealer. whom
Vermont had prosecuted for shipping jugs of
liquor across Lake Champlain into Vermont on
orders from citizens of Rutland, VT The SEN
sation made its appearance when Mr.. Edmunds
said he felt compelled to notify the court that
1t had enormously construed the Constitution
in its decision in the original package case He
insisted that the principle upon which that de-
cision was based was dangerous to the peace
and security of the people OF the individual
states. He satisfied that when goods had
reached their final destination they were as
surely subject to the law of that state as though
they had been manufactured therein. The ex-
Senator apolOgized for criticising decision of
the court, but he insisted on the correctness of
his views, and warned the justices to get into
the path of constitutional rectitude as rapidly
as possible.
