MUST GO TO JAIL The Supreme Court Decides Against Eugene Debs. Jnatlce Brewer Reads the Court’s Cnaaimous Opinion In Habeas Corpus Case — Summary of the Decision. Washington, May 28.—The habeas OOrpus case of Eugene V. Debs et al., growing out of the great railroad strike at Chicago last summer o was decided in the supreme court of the United States Monday, its unanimous opinion being read by Justice Brewer. The opinion recited the facte connected with the origin of the case—a suit by the United States in the circuit court for the Northern district of Illinois for an injunction to restrain Debs and his associates of the American Railway union from interfering with the movement of the interstate?traffic; the issuing of the injunction prayed for; the violation of the injunction bv Debs et al. their arrest and punishment by Judge Woods for contempt of court, and the application of the petitioners for a writ of habeas corpus. The case was argued, it will be remembered. some weeks ago by Attorney General Olney for the government and C S. Darrow for the petitioners, the contention of the latter being that the .circuit court had no jurisdiction of the original bill and therefore there could be no contempt of court in failing to observe the terms of the injunction issued thereunder. The opinion of the court was in substance us follows: ••Tlie case presented is. this: The Jnhed Stites. flndloK tk a t the Interstate transportatfon of persons and property. as»well as the carriage of the mails, is torcibly obstructed and that a combination and conspiracy exists to subject the control of such transportation ’to the will of the conspirators, applied to one of their courts, sitting as a court of equity, tor an injunction to restrain such obstruction and prevent carrying Into effect such conspiracy. Two questions of importance are presented. • I. Are the relations of the general government to interstate commerce and the transportation ot the mails such~as authorize a direct Interference to prevent a forcible obstruction thereof* •'2 It authority exists, as authority In governmental affairs implies both, power and duty, has a court of equity the jurisdiction to Issue an injunction in aid’Of the performance Ot such duty? What'are the relations of the general government to interstate commerce and the transportation ot the mails? They are those of direct supervision, control and management. While under the dual system which prevails with us the powers of government are distributed between the slate and’ the nation, and while the latter is properly styled a government of enumerated powers, yet within the limits of suyh enumeration •it has all the attributes ot sovereignty, and in the exercise of ©' Et GENK V. , DEBS. those enumerated gawQjrs acts directly upon the citizen and not through the intermediate agency ot the state. "Under the power vested in congress to establish post offices and post roads congress has by a mass ot legislation established the great poet office system of the coiiutryfvrttb ail its detail ot organization, its machinery for the transaction ot business, defining what shall be carried and what not. and the price bt carriage, and also ■ prescribing penalties for ill offenses against it Obviously these powers given to the national government over Interstate commerce and in respect to the transportation ot the mails were not dormant and unused- Congress had, taken hold bt these two matters, and; by various and specific acts, had assumed and exercised the powers given to it, and was in the full discharge ot its duty to regulate interstate commerce and carry the mails ;‘lt the Inhabitants of a single state or a great body of them should combine to obstruct Interstate commerce or the transportation of the malls, prosecutions tor such offenses had in such community would be doomed in- advance to failure And if the certainty of such failure was known and the national government had no other way to enforce the freedom ofTntcrstate commerce and the transportation of the mails- than by prosecution’and punishment for interference therewith, the whole interests ot the nation In Uhese respects Would be .vt the absolute mercy ot a portion ot the inhabitants ot a single state" The decision says, however, that there is no such impotency in the national government, The strong arm of the national government may be put forth to brush away -ail obstructions to the freedom of Interstate commerce or. the transportation ot the mails. It the emergency arises, the army of the nation and all its militia arc at the service ot the nation to compel obedience to its laws In the present ease the' right to uss force does not exclude the right of appeal to the courts for a judicial determination and for the exercise of all thesr powers of prevention. Indeed, it is more to the praise than to the blame ot the government that instead of determining for Itself questions of right and wrong on the part of these petitioners and their associates and enforcing that determination by the club of the policeman and the layonet of the soldier, it submitted all those questions to the peaceful determination of judicial tribunals, and, inifpked tneir consideration and jodgtaenl as id the measure of its powers. After .further argument the opinion says: "A most earnest'and eloquent appeal was made to us In eulogy, of the heroic spirit of those who threw up ; tbeir employment and gave up their means of earning a livelihood, not in defense bt their bwn rights, but in sympathy tor and to assist bthere whom the” believed to be wronge-1. We yield to none In p»r admiration of any act of heroism or selfsscrifice. but we may be pernfiued to add that it is a lesson which eannot no learned too sued or too thoroughly that under this government of and by the people the means ot redress ot all wrong is through the courts and at the ballotbox. and that no wrong, real or fancied, carries with it legal warrant to invite as a means of red rows the cooperation vt, a mob with its accompanying acts of vlolenee r '“* ' "We have given to this case the most anxious and earetuljsttentioa, for we realize that It touches closely questions ot supreme importance to the people of the country." The court then stuns up its eouc.usiens substantially as given above and denies the petition for a writ ot habeas corpus. The men who *re affected by the decision *re Deb*. Howard. Keliher, Rogers. Buras, Hogan. Goodwin-and Elliott. They are president, vice pres ident and -directors of the American Railway union.

He was a strong supporter of Grant for a third term in the Chicago convention of 1880. and was prominently mentioned as a candidate for the republican nomination for president in the con- - vention at Chicago that nominated Benjamin Harrison.
