The RA,LnoAo CAsEs.-Ths United States
Supreme Court has decided the contempt
cases against the State. This was expected
by nearly everybody. The States own
lawyers, we understand, did not want TO
take the case 10 the Supreme Court, being
cJnsinced that the law was against them
but the Governor ins sted, and they yielded
70 his wishes. Mr.. Lord, however, refused
20 take part in the appeal
This decision only settles that the SheriGs
were in contempt when they refused to turn
lsose the engiues and cars on the order Of
,ths court. The real merits Of The case have
not been touched. Not q scintilla of testi-
,mony has ever been taken 10 show whether
ithe taxes arc excessive or not; nor has the
Naw under which the Statc raised the assess
.,ssnss been properly before the courts SO
Whdle matter stands pfeclsely where IL
stood ut the beginning, and Is just as far
from settlement rs ever.

that the courts are on the side OF corpora
tions Let the people remember, however,
that the courts are established to secure
Justice TO ALTO the highest and to the low
est; and that they are on no side except the
side Of law. The people will not soon forget
that thi, same Supreme Court. little more
than year ago. decided tho Coosaw case in
favor Of the State. aud in January, 1892,
decided that the railroads in South Carolina
must pay the salaries Of the Railroad Com
