Its makers say that thousands of peo-

it.

that by many experiments, and after

THE RAILROAD CASES.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has granted the writ of
habeas corpus asked for on the part
of the attorneys for the State in the
railroad cases,and a rule has been
served on Simonton aud the United
States Marshal who arrested the
sheriffs, requiring them to show
cause before that body on the 9th
of March why the said sheriffs
should not be discharged. The
court has also decided to hear ar
gument on the merits, and the
whole matter of the legality of the
tax imposed by the State, on the
railroads will be heard and deter
mined, as well as the right of a
Federal court to restrain The arm
of sovereign State in collecting
her taxes. The case has become q
national one in importance as it
affects alike all the States of the
Union. The determination of the
United States Court to hear the
case on it's merits is surprise not
only to laymen, but many of the
best lawyers had no hope but that
the application for the writ would
be dismissed and the merits of'the
case left untouched.
In this matter Tillman stood
alone, and but for his strong will
and keen sense Of the injustice Of
Simonton's proceedings it would
never have gone up. To this las,
lie. the injustice of Simonton't
rulings, there could be little dis.
sent, but few men will undertake.
a task which even their friends
oppose.
