When the usual committee repre-
senting the two houses called on Preo-
ident Mckinley on the day they as
sembled, it is said the president, cor
daily remarked that he was glad to
see them and glad that congress was
again In session. This is pleasanter
attitude than that of dread with which
many people regard the assembling Of
the national legislature. When great
national political conflicts are taking
place there is sometimes reasons for
apprehension. At the present time
there Is need Of constructive legisla-
ton, and We ought rather to be sorry
that congress has but three months in
which to accomplish it than to regret
that 1t has met to undertake the task.

FIRST DECISION
ST. LOUIS VS.. CHICAGO

washington, Jan. 29.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day rendered
an opinion in the case of the Chicago
sanitary district, overriding the demur-
rers filed in the case by the state of H.
linois and the Chicago sanitary district
board. The proceeding was brought
by the state of Missouri against the
state of Illinois and the drainage
board. the end sought being to prevent
the use of the canal because of its sup
posed pollution of the drinking water
of ST. Louis.
The effect of the decision is to s,ls-
tain the contention of the state of Mis-
souri,. The opinion was handed down
and Justices Harlan and White united
in dissenting opinion.
Chief Justice Fuller read the dissent
ing opinion. holding that the jurisflic-
ton of the Supreme Court could only
re invoked in cases in which it appears
that states are in direct antagonsm
and that this is not true in this case
He also said that it was difficult to con-
ceive that a decree could be entered in
this case. which would bind the state
of Illinois or control its action" He
added:
The act complained of is not nui-
sance per Sc. and the injury alleged to
be threatened is contingent. AS the
channel has been in operation for n
year. it is probable that the supposed
basis of complaint can now be tested.
But it does not follow that the bill in
its present shape should he sustained
In my opinion, both the demurrers
should be sustained and the bill dis
niSsn1 without nroir1ica IN u f,,rt III,
application as against the sanitary dis
trict, if authorized by the state of Mis-
souri,"
Attorney William NJ. Springer. repre-
senting the state of Illinois and the
ent when the courts opinion was rem
swer to the bill, and this being granted
