S.. 275. 279. 17 Sup. Ct.. 326. 41 L. Ed.. 715.) This contemporaneous. continuous. and uniform aflrmance of the constitutionality of the grant to the State courts of this. power to naturalize aliens. and this uninterrupted practice of the State courts to exercise the power thus bestowed upon them. are too long continued. too strong. too obstinate to be controlled or shaken now. it is too late to question the constitutionality of the devolution of this authority upon the courts of the States or their jurisdiction to exercise it. Those issues have been settled by prescription and practice. and they are no longer open to debate or question.
