Three Dissenting Opinions.

At the conclusion of Justice G:ays
opinion, Justice Brewer announced! that
lie felt compelled to dissent from the
view of majority Of the court. He
read his views at some length, declar-
ing IN substance that the act CT 1892
was unconstitutional, and that if it
We're upheld there was no guarantee
that similar treatment might not be ac-
corded to other classes of our population
than the Chinese.
Justice Field, who delivered The opin-
ion of the supreme court of the United
States in the first case under the excius-
ion act. also read a dissenting opinion.
He held that there was Il wide differ
ence between exclusion OF immirrants
and tho deportation of alien residents.
anl he characterized the act in the
strongest language as inhunan and
brutal, and Ill violation OF the constitu-
ton Of every section. He regretted to
say that the decision of the court was.
to his mind, fraught with the greatest
dangers to the priceless constitutional
liberties OF the people.
Chief Justice Fuller also dissented
from the opinion Of the court
Moved a Rehearing.
liter The court had concluded the
announcement of opinions, Mr.. Ashton,
of counsel for the Chinese, moved a
rehearing Of the case and an argument
before full bench at the next term of
the court.

WASHINGTON. May i6.-The supreme

AS to the requirements that the
Chinese entitled TO remain in this coun-
try should establish that right by the
evidence of one credible white witness,

mony SO offered. Not discussing the
wisdom nor the justice of the act in

All! HOW the logic Of events is work

assigned for it. the people are gradu-
ally opening their eyes to the real
power behind it. They said the Sher-
man law drove gold from the country,
and yet efore that law is
repealed millions of the same
gold returns and is still coming.

largely subsidized or muzzled, public opinion
silenced, business Frustrated, our homes COW

The national power to create money is ap-

been funded into gold bearing bonds, thereby
adding millions to the burdens Of the people.

the dawn of history, has been demonetized to
add to the purchasing power of gold by de-
creasing the price of all forms of property as
