Senator Gallinger told a marine an
ecdote at the last hearing of the anti
vivisection bill.
1t is he said, IAN anecdote about
a captain and a mate, and the way the
captain treated the mate seems to me
good deal like the way the vivisection-
ists treat animals"
Then he went on to say that on
certain ship the captain was inordi-
lately fond of the plum part of plum

he duff in the form of an oblcng, to
nit al the pluns in one end and to
ct the dish on the cabin table in such
, way that the plum end would al

But the mate Of the ship got tired
ter while of the duff without plums
and one day he contrived to descend
INTO the cabin earlier than his supe.
"ior and to trun the platter OF duff so
rat he for once had all the plums and

soon perceived the trick that had been

carefully and turned the plums his way

These propositions were then discuss

There seems to be no doubt that
suits against States for the collection
OF debts were unheard of at the time
of the adoption of the Constitution and
the power to bring them would not have
been included if the proposition had
been made
1--WE have attempted above to show
that State debts could not be collected
by suit, for two reasons:
First. That such suits were unheard
of at the time of the adoption of the
Constitution, and, therefore. not includ
ed within the grant of judicial power.
Secondly. That to do so would or
might, require the Courts to assume
the political and legislative functions of
levying, collecting and disbursing the
public taxes of a State.
IF we are wrong in this, we insist
that the collection of debts from a recall
citrant State by the compulsive process
of this court should be confined to debts
