address to the public in defense Of the
American common school system:

WASHINGTON, Dec 5.-The United
States court has rendered an opinion
which, while affirming the constitu.
tionality of the alien contract labor
law viii embarrass to some extent the
practical enforcement of the law. The
question came up on the appeal
of Joseph Lees and John S. Lees from
a decision of the United States circuit
court for the eastern district of
Pennsylvania, fining them 1900 for
importing Frederick Graham, of En-
gland, to perform labor in their mill at
bridgeport, Pa The court holds the
act is valid, but that when the accused
parties were compelled TO give evidence
against themselves in a criminal pro
ceeding their constitutional rights
were violated and hence reverses the
