than lots of others that had used before
without any benefit. But thanks be to
God and also to you, tried them and

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Verdicts Handed Down in a
Number of Impor hnt Cases.
The Mckinley Tariff Bill De-
clared Constitutional.

The U,ited States Supreme Court rem
dered decisions in Washington affirming the
Iconstitutionality of the Mckinley Tariff and
Dinley Worsted bills, and, incidentally, of
Speaker Reeds method of counting
quorum; it also denied the application for
a writ of prohibition in the Sayward case.
The decision against the Chicago Anarchists
was affirmed and the right of Holy Trinity
Church. of New York City, to import
rector was sustained.
The three cases in which importers sought
to test the constitutionality of the Mckinley
Tariff act have been decided by the United
States Supreme Court
The title of these three cases are: Boyd,
Sutton g. Co. and Herman Sternbach & Co.,
each VS.. the United States and Joel B.
Erhardt, Collector of the Port of New York,
and Marshall Field g. Co. VS.. Clark, Col
lector of the Port of Chicago.
The grounos on which 1T was maintained
that the tariff was unconstitutional were
shat the tobacco rebate section OF the bill
had been omitted in its enrolment after
passage by Congress, and therefore that the
bill signed by the President was not
the bill passed by the legislative department.
of the Government, that the reciprocity fea-
ture was a transmission to the executive of
the law-making power and therefore void,
vitiating the whole act, and lastly that the
act was void because of the sugar bounty
provision.
The Court affirmed the judgments of the
New York and Illinois Circuit courts Of the
United States in favor Of the constitution
ality of the act.
Justice Harlan read the opinion Of the
Court He said that the Court had given most
careful and deliberate attention to the ques-
ti0n, now raised for the first time, as to the
Courts determining whether an act signed
by the President was actually the law passed
by Congress.
The object of the journal required to be
kept by Congress, he said, was not that it
might be consulted to determine the authen-
ticity Of an act of Congress, but that there
might be publicity or proceedings. The
signatures of the two presiding officers and
OF the President was complete authentica
tion OF that bill. providing the forms re-
Quired had been complied with.
The suggestion that there was deliberate
conspiracy between presiding officers and
President, to make law not passed by Con-
gress the Court said, could not hold. The
enrolled act, the Court held, was conclu-
sive.
As to reciprocity, the Court says, various
decisions of the Court and the practice OF
years establish the right of Congress to give
the President power by proclamation, at q
future day, to revoke or modify certain
clauses OF the act
Passaic City record., 1892-03-05
The sNo Quorumg Case.

The mo quorum" case, in which the
legality of the Dingley Worsted act was at
tackled by Ballin, Joseph 6 Co., importers,
was also decided by the United States Su-
preme Court.
The Dingley act was passed by the last
Congress through the action of Speaker
Reed. in counting quorum when there was
. Quorum of members present but not
voting. The importers maintained tnat
Speaker Reeds action was in violation OF
the Constitution; and that the act passed IN
this manner was void.
The United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District of New York decided
against the United States and IN favor OF
the importers on this ground, so that the
case came before the United States Supreme
Court.
This Court, in an opinion by Justice
Brewer. holds that the mo quorum rule
was valid, and that the House of Represen-
tatives had a right to make such rule.
Passaic City record., 1892-03-05
Against Great Britain.

The Saywood case, involving the jurisdic-
tion Of the United States over Bering Sea,
was decided by the United States Supreme
Court against the British Government. JUS
tice Field was the only member of the Court
dissenting.
The man point in issue in the case was
whether Bering Sea was an open or closed
body of water. The schooner Sayward was
seized fifty-nine miles from land.
BY this suit, brought in thename of Cooper
by the Government of which he was q sub
ject writ of prohibition was sought to re-
strain the United States District Court for
Alaska from proceeding to carry out q de
cree Of forfeiture rendered by the Alaska
Court. The Court decided in favor OF the
United States and denied the petition for
writ of prohibition.
Joseph H. Choate, of New York City, and
Calderon Carlisle, of Washington City, in
behalf Of the Government of Great Britain,
opposed the argument of Attorney General
Miller and Solicitor-G General Taft, who rep
resented the United States.
