MICHIGAN'S ELECTORS.
The Supreme Court Unanimously
Sustains the Miner Law.

The Supreme Court Unanimously
Sustains the Miner Law.
By a unanimous decision the Supreme
Court of the United States has decided that
the law passed by the last Legislature OF
Michigan, dividing the State into districts
for the election Of electors Of President
and Vice-Preident, was valid and
constitutional, being imperative only so far
as it confiicted with the provisions Of the act
Of Congress fixing the time Of the meeting
of the electors. The decision was not ex.
pected quite so promptly, and there were but
few persons In the court room when it was
announced. Chief Justics Fuller read the
finding of the court, which was unanimous.
1t was as follows:
We arc of opinion that the objections to
Act No. so of tho public laws OF Michigan OF
1891, bassd upon matters Ct local law, and
having been ruled by the Supreme Court OF
Michigan adversely to the plaintiffs in error,
whose conclusion In that regard we are not
authorized to revise the decision OF the Fed
eral questions involved was necessary. And
the validity Of tho law, as repugnant to the
Constitution and laws Of the United States,
having been drawn in question and decided,
and tho decision being In favor OF its va
idity, this court has jurisdiction under Sec
tion 700, r. 8. The judicial power OF the
United States extends to all cases OF law and
equity arising under the Constitution and
laws Of the United States, and this is case
80 arising for the reason just stated.
We concur with the Supreme Court OF
Michigan, that so far as Act No. so conflicts
with the act of Congress Of February Sd,
1887. in the particulars pointed out, and In
respect Of which Congress possesses the
power to legislate. it is imperative only to
to that extent, but that the act is not for
that reason void, and may stand as 80 mod
lied.
We also hold with that court that, in view
Of the language Of the second clause of first
section, article 4, Of the Constitution, and
the contemporaneous and subsequent con-
structiou OF that language in practice, this
act cannot now be held invalid for want OF
power In the State Legislature to provide
for the appointment Of electors for President
and Vice-President Of the United States, as
therein prescribed. And we are clear that
that clause of the first section Of article 4
has not been changed by the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution, and that
this act is not obnoxious to objection on the
ground of conflict with that amendment.
We make this announcement at this time
because of any exigency suggested as appa'
rently recurring immediate action under the
States statues, and will hereafter file an
opinion stating fully the grounds Of this de-
cision. The Judgment Of the Supreme Court
of Michigan is affirmed, and the mandate
will issue at once.

ganized, but owing TO the unsare condition
Of that part OF the mine in which the e1-
plosion occurred and the presence OF black

capes were made by miners working in

occurred, but all the men are now out.

THE REALM OF FASHION
WHAT TO WEAR AND HOW THEY
MAKE IT.
Past Epochs Rsturn.-Antique French
Fashions Revived For Modern
Styles.

F a man could ever do
such a foolish thing as
"lie 10 nights awake
carving the fashion OF
a new doublet," why
should not a woman,
who, as men maintain,
dotes on foreign fan
cies and far-fetched
foibles, be allowed to
give up some of her
time to thoughts on
dress? The truth is,
men are by nature oe-
ceivers: they give a sly
look at a mirror, while
women walk boldly up
| to it. They affect to
despise dress, and yet
