The su preme court ha affirmed lh Judgment of th dlitrlct court of Douglaa county In tha caae of tha State against The German Baring Bank of Omaha. The opinion la bjr Commissioner Oldham, Commissioner round concurring In a aeparata opinion. It I held that the evidence does oat show any abuae of discretion of the trial court In approving the compromise of doubtful clalma with certain stockholders of the Institution. This Is the ninth time the case has been reviewed In the supreme court, either for relief from soma order, Judgment or find ing of the district court of Douglas county In closing up tha affairs of the German Bavlnga bank or for mandate to compel the judge to settle bills of exception or to approve bond. On July 23, 1894, Thomas 'H. McCague waa appointed receiver of the aavlnga bank and after much litigation aucceeded In the early part of 1901 In dis posing of the assets. From tha proceed of the aala of these assets a dividend of li per cent waa paid to the depositors and on May t the court found that all as aeta of the bank had' been exhausted aud that there bad been about $300,000 due to depositors when the bank failed and that after applying the proceeds of the sale tf the assets there still remained due the de positor about $200,000.

The case involving the constitutionality of thla law was appealed from Douglaa county, where the proprietor of the Non- parell Steam Laundry was convicted and lined for violating the provisions of the act. The opinion la by Judge Barnes. The syllabus of the opinion follow: The act of the legislature approved March 31, 18S9. "To regulate and limit tho hours of employment of females In manu facturing, mechanical and mercantile ea tabllxhments, hotel and restaurants, to rtrovlde for Ita enforcement and a penalty for ita violation," contains but one sub ject, and In Its terms is no broader than Its title. In which ita subject la clearly ex pressed. Such a law doea not amend the act of 183, to protect the health of females em ployes in atorea, offices and schools. It la an act complete in itself and Is not re pugnant to the provisions ot aectlon 11 of article 111 of the constitution. The law aa expressed therein ha a uni form and general application to all women msoyod In the establishments described thereta,- and is not class legislation within tne meaning ot section 15, article ill, of the constitution. The act in effect la only a fair and rea sonable exercise ot the police power. It does not deprive any cltlsen of his property or tha reasonable uae thereof without duo process of law; It does not prohibit the right of contract. It merely regulate the am In a reasonable manner. It is there fore not in conflict with th constitution and la in all thlnga valid.

Any employer, overseer, superin tendent or other agents of such employer who shall violate any ot th provisions of this act ahall be fined for each offense any mm not leas than $20 nor more than too. and It la pereoy made tne duty or tne aep utv labor commissioner to enforce the nro visions of this act; provided, however, that nothing In this act shall be construed to prevent any other person from enforcing Its provisions. Ward of th Stat. la th opinion Commissioner Barnes says women and children have always, to a certain extent, been warda of the state. Women In recent years have been partly emancipated from their common law dis abilities; they now have a limited right to contract; they may own property, real and tersonal. In their own right and may en gage In business on their own account, but they are governed and ran take no part In municipal affairs. They are unable by reason of their physical limitations to endure the same hours of exhaustive labor aa may be endured by adult males; certain kinds of work which may be per formed by men without Injury to their health would wreck the constitutions and destroy tha health of women, and render them Incapable of bearing their share of the burdens or tne lamny ana tne nome. The state must be accorded the right to guard and protect women as a class against auch a condition and tha law In question, to that extent, conaervea th publto health and welfare. Of the many vocation In this country comparatively few are open to women; their field for remunerative labor la restricted: competition for places therein Is necessarily great. The desire for place and In many Instances the necessity of ob taining employment would subject them to hardships and exactions which they would not otnerwise endure.
