The hearing on the application of Fred erick $.

 REMONSTRANTS WERE REPRESENTED by E. F. Hall and H. N. Wakeman, and J. D. Toomey, Jr., appeared for the ap- plicant.
 The case was opened by Mir Hall, who read the following remonstrance, which has many signers: "The place where Mills proposes to sell liquor being the same place which was adiudicated by the previous board of county commissioners to be an unsuitable place and the situat- ion and surroundings being still the same, the present contestants propose to the applicant that the question as to wheth- CT as matter of law that adjudication should stand and now govern the present board be submitted to judge of the su- perior court, to be selected by the com missioners.

The commissioners decided to go on with the case. Dr A. B. Sturges, c. o. Jelliff, R. F. Curtis, Judge Perry, Mrs H. T. Bulkley, the latter president of the Sasquanaug village improvement associ- ation, R. F. Wakeman and Mrs J. F. Rockwell gave testimony against the pro- posed saloon. The objections ill brief were it's proximity to most of their resi- dences and the consequent lowering of ness of being obliged to pass the saloon town; the demoralizing influence it would have on the young men and school child ren and the unsuitableness of the loca- tion.

He thinks saloon will not injure his property at all; the lack of a saloon has decreased the volume of busi- ness done by the merchants here and is detrimental to the business prosperity of the place; in his opinion the peace of the village would not be greatly disturbed if the law was complied with. He cited his own experience in the business and spoke of the bitter feeling between himself and some of the remonstrants because of the refusal of the commissioners to license David Steele. Mir Banks said that as long as blood ian in his veins he would

The Geary Act.

The Supreme Court of the United
States have affirmed the constitutionality
of the Geary Chinese Exclusion and
Registration act, . to 3. Justice Gray
announcing the decision and Justice
Brewer the dissenting opinion.
Justice Gray in announcing the judy
ment of the Court, said that the power
OF this nation to restrict or prohibit the
immigration of any aliens into this coun-
try. or require such aliens already in the
country to remove thcrefrom, was well
settled principle of international law,
and was confirmed by an uubroken line
of decisions in this court The legisla-
tive power of the Government had not
transcribed any of its constitutional
limitations in the act under eonsdera-
ton.
1t was within its power to determine the
regulations under which these aliens
should be permitted to remain in the
United States, or failing to observe these
regulations they should be required to
leave the country.
Not discussing the wisdom nor the
justice OF the act in question, which WAS
beyond the province of the judicial
branch of the Government. it remained
only to say that the Judgment of the
Circuit Court for the Southern District
of New \ olk in refusing to grant Writs
of habeas corpus to the several petition
ers was affirmed.
Justice Brewer announced that he felt
compelled to dissent from the view of
the majority OF the court. He read his
views AT the some length, declaring in
substance that the act of 1892 was ul.-
constitutional, and if it We're uphel /,
there was no guarantee that similar
treatment might not be accorded to other
classes of our population than the Chi
neSe.
Chief Justice Fuller also dissenting
act to abrogate or repeal IA treaty nor
to expel Cinnamon lawfully here, and no
such intent could be imputed to Con-
gress. Its object was TO prescribe a
method of registration, and the deporta-
ton denounced by way of punishment
was, in his view, an unusual punishment
not authorized by the Constitution.
The Court denied a proposed rehearing
ON the case and the opinion therefore
stands.
iHe administration 1liu ucCliHtu ~

sons: First-Because it was believed that
it would be declared unconstitutional 3;

adequate appropriate toenforce it. The
general opinion is that the Treasury De
partment will be unable to carry the law
into effect, for it will be necessary to
make IA large expenditure in order TO do
so, and Congress failed to appropriate
II sufficient sum for this purpose.
