Attempts have been made from time to ~ lime to test the eonstitutionality of the . Blocumb liquor law in the lower courts and the supreme court of Nebraska. In nearly every instance, however, the law tias been upheld. It has just developed Jhat the supreme court at Washington will soon be nsked to pass upon the con- © stitutionality of the statute. ~ Some two years ago a case was started in the district court, which attracted no little attention at the time. It was en- titled Mette & Kanne, ys. D. L. McGuekin. It appears that the plaintifts who were a liquor firm_in St. Louis, sold 1o the *‘ex-eouncilman from the Thivd” a Jarge bill of goods, for which for some Foaton ho refused to pay.

N, 1883, lling, the plaintifl in er- ror, was prosecuted in the police court of Grand Rapids, h., under the stato law imposing on_persons engaged in the business of selling liquor in that . state to be shipped from any other state He was a drummer for the firm of Ca amaugh & Co., of Chicago, and he was charged in one count with selling liquor at wholesale out a license, and in an- | other with soliciting and taking orders for - its sale without a licenso. He was convicted and sentenced to pay fine and was _impr in default of pay- ment. He appealed to the county cir- cuit court, in which he was tried by ajury and found guilty. The case was carried to the supreme court of Michi- gan, which decided against Walling. The question in the case is whether the statute under which Walling was persecuted is repugnant to the constitution of the United States. This court held, Judge Bradley delivering the opinion, ti a (|iscrhninnling tax imposed by a state, operating to' the disadvantage of the roducts of other states when in- roduced ih: the first mentioned state, is, in eflfect, a regulation in restraint of commerce mong tho states, and as such is a usurpation of the Fuwor conferred by the constitution upon the congress of the United States. T supreme court of Michigan held t! tax imposed by the act is an the police power of the state for th couragement of the use of intoxicating liquors and the preservation of the health and morals of the people. - The supremo court of the United States held that this would be a perfeet j ition of the act if it did not d ins citizens and the products of oth and thus usurp one of the prero; the national legislature. 'The court con- cludes its opinion as follow: ““We think that_the actin question op- srates as aregulation of commer mong the states in a mutter within the exclu- sive power of congress, and that it is for this reason repugnant to the constitution of the United States and the judgment of ~ the supreme court of Michigan is re- ~ rersed and the case remanded with in- ~ structions to take such further proceed- Ings as mav riot be inconsistent with this apinion.”” appli he is of instructions igan, Union sewing machine lasts a life time. clateti i WHAT IS BEING DONE, The Y.

There is a strong deeire on the part of many of the leading members of the G, A. R. in this city, to secure the next re- union of the department of Nebraska, for this city. The annual meeting of the lat- ter will be held in Red Clond next month, at which a number of bids from the in- terior towns will be made for the reunion. Each town will guarantee a certain amount of money together with fodder, wood, water, tents and a number of other essentials, in consideration of being voted the gathering. The reunion is a big undertaking, and has seldom been a success. The guaran- tee required by the department is gener- ally too great to be voted by one-half of the cities which wish to secure the affair, and the management of it is of more magnitude that most of the aspiring ones can handle. Besides, it is not every which would be convenient for prise, beeause the great es ig a central and conveni- ent location, Omaha has never had na soldiers’ reunion. It s abundantly able to give any guarantee that may be required, and is, besides, so located and capable of accommodating thousands that little opposition could be made to itin this respeet. For these r sentinl sons some of the soldiers are agitating the question of securing big gathering for this place. say that the several railways in con- neetion with the Belt Line, would be able to handle thousands of people without requiring a change of cars, Besides that the presence here at that time of a certain entertainment of great terest to all elaim, wm\lfi mean thousands of dollars to tne mer- chants of the city. The attendance in many cases is coniposed of veterans and families who come to stay a week, and not, as at a state fair, to remain but a day. All of these would find some time to visit the ecity and make purchases before returning home. The G. A.R. men feel that citizens should an FEREr DANCED ON THE TABLE. A Darkey Who Won a Game of Cards —Police Court Notes, When the name of John Bunce was called in police court yesterday morning a jolly-looking negro came to the front. The judge announced that the charge preferred against him was that of being drunk and disorderly and raising a gen- eral disturbance. *“Tells you how it was, jedge,” Bunce replied; “I was playin’ a game of keerds in a s'loon on Capitol avenue wid anudder feller. We were playin’ for de drinks. I had de ace and de deuce, and was kinder leery of his hand, which I tot from de way he acted must hab been a mighty good ‘un.

John Daily plead guilty to a charge of stealing a buflalo robe.” He belongs to an old_gang of thicves who have been operating about Omaha and Council I for several months past. The judg ntenced him to be contined in the county jail for twenty days on bread and “I gness I've broken up that gang,” re- marked Judge Stenburg complacently as Daily took his seat. “‘Yes,"' retorted the prisoner, ‘‘and I'll be the worst broken up one in the lot be fore I get through with that twenty days on bread and water,” G.

Raymond’s jewelry store yesterday was frustrated by the watehfulness of onc of the clerks. A well-dressed young man entered the establishment shortly after noon and asked to be shown some gold watehes. Anticipating a good customer, the clerk produced a tray of yaluable “tickers” and the alleged customer ex- amined them carefully. While the clerk’s attention was drawn in another quarter the young man quickly picked up one of the watches and slipped it into his pocket. He then announced that none of the watches suited him ana was about to leave the store when the clerk noticed that cne of the time pieces weregone. Jumping at the conclusion that the ‘watch had been stolen vy the prospective buyer, he detained him in the store and sent the police. Oflicer iD A WATCH.

The steps to the countythouse yesterday would have been greatly improved by the use of a shovel, They were slippery and afforded room for scarcely more than one person without danger to limb. The walk in front of the court house is a very bad one, and a few feet east of the steps is a hump covered with pressed and slip- pery snow over which a dozen lxeun‘u have already fallen.

Competition in Paving. It may not be generally known, but it is a fact nevertheless, that the time for onening the bids for the paving which has already been advertised for, has been extended from the 8th of February to the 20th of March. City Engineer Rosewater says that the competition promises to be most lively and the probability 1s the city will be enabled hereatter to use granite for curbing instead of Colorado sand- stone as heretofore. Granite is used for this purpose_in St. Paul and in other cit- ies, and he does nov see why, it being a superior material, it should not be used for that purpo: 1 this city. Mr. Rosewater is” of the opinion that the competition in bidding will resuit in a number of bids, with guarantees as to material and permanency for the very Dest kind of wooden payement, The intersection fund this year amounts This will probably to about $15,000. 4 allow a paving of streets which would hol about §200,000. It may be ary, in_addition to this amount, the engineer thinks, to vote $50,- 000 more paving bonds, in addition to those now nvz\ir:'xble, because they would not be available until the appraisement is mado in July.

AR R Lawing Over a Suiclde's Effects. In Justice Anderson’s court yesterday the ease of Pease Bros. and Rose Bros. against Mrs Clara Starr and Mr, William H. Lyon was on trial. The case is one which arose from the trouble over the eflects of the swicide, Frank V. Adams, who took poison on the 24th of December last. Adams bought some $300 or $400 worth of goods from Rose, Bros. and Pease Bros. on credit, and afte death they attached the property. This action was contested by William H, Lyon and Mrs. v, the lessees of the building in which Adams roomed, on the ground that he owed them a large amount for rent, for security of which they held hi: roperty, The plea of Messrs., Pe 0s and Rose Bros. is that Adams ob- tained the goods from them under false pretenses. Mrs, Storr succeeded in proving a claim on the furniture to the amount of the rent due from Adams and the suing parties secured the balance of the furniture, We hve $20,000 to loan at low rates in sums of $1,000 to §$10,000 if taken within ten days.
