much difference of opinion. We had a
decision Of the Supreme Court yesterday
in the railroad eases.
The Supreme Court sustained the de-

The question was whether a railroad
could go into State and control its
courts The decisions viii have a salutory
influence and reinstate confidence in prop

The issue is whether the corporation

stores confidence and rescues vested in
