Louisiana Scparate-Ca Law.

Washington. D. c., May 1S.-The
Supreme Court to-day, in an opinion
read by Justice Brown, sustained the
constitutionality of a law in Louis
lana requiring the railroads of the
State to provide separate cars for
white and colored passengers.
The opinion states that by analogy
to the laws of Congress and of many
of the States requiring the establish
ment of separate schools for children
of the two races, and similar laws, the
statute in question was within the
competency Of the Louisiana Legisla-
ture, exercising tile police power Of
the State
The judgment of the Supreme Court
of the State upholding the law was
therefore upheld.
DIr. Justice Harlan announced a
very vigorous dissent, saying that he
saw nothing but mischief in all such
laws. In his view of the case no power
in the land had the right to regulate
the enjoyment of civil rights upon
the basis of race. 1t would be just as
reasonable and proper, he said. for
States to pass laws requiring separate
cars to be furnished for Catholics and
Protestants, or for descendants of
those of the Teutonic race and those
of the Latin race.
