FIELD DISSENTS.
Pleading for the Poor, Despised
Heathen Chinese.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Justice Field,
In dissenting 0piuiOn which has yet to
be revived before the publication of its
text said
Arbitrary and tyrannical power has no
place in our system. AS said by this
court in speaking by Justice Matthews in
Yick Wo VS.. Hopkins. when we consider
the nature and theory of our institutions
of government, the principles upon
which they are supposed to rest and
view the history of their development, we
are constrained to conclude that they do
not mean 10 leave room for the play and
action of purely personal and arbitrary
power. The fundamental right TO life,
liberty and the pursuit OF happiness rs an
individual possession is secured by those
maxims of constitutional law which are
monuments showing the victorious prog
ress OF our race in securing TO man the
blessings of civilization under the reign of
just and equal laws.
Brutality. inhumanity nd cruelty can
never be recognized as elements in any
form of procedure adopted in the admins
tration Of the laws Of our Government
As L had once occasion to say against the
cruel treatment of poor and despised
Cinnamon, l repeat now: 1t is certainly
something in which a citizen of the United
States may feel generous pride that the
Government of his country extends protec-
lection to all persons within its 1urisdic-
tiOn, and that every blow aimed at any of
them, however humble. come from what
quarter it may, is caught upon the broad

pose could not be reasonable seizure OF

article Of the amendment OF the constitu-

The existence Of power thus stated is only
consistent with the admission that gives
Congress unlimited and despotc power so
far as aliens domiciled in this country are
concerned. According to that theory, Con-
