Samuel A. Walling against The People of the
State of Michigan. In June, 1883, Walling. the
plaintiff IN error, was prosecuted in the police
court of Grand Rapids, Mich. snder a State law
imposing a tax on persons engaged in the bust
ness of selling liquor in that State, to be shipped
from any other State He was a drum
mer for the firm of Cavanagh. 81 CO..
of Chicago. and he was charged IN
one count with selling liquor at wholesale
without a license, and, In another. with solicit
ing and taking orders for it's sale without a
license. He was convicted and sentenced to pay
"A fine, and was imprisoned in default of pay
ment. He appealed to the County Circuit Court.
in which the case was tried by a jury, and was
found guilty The case was carried to the Su-
preme Court of Michigan, which decided against
Walling. The question in the case is. whether
the statute uniler which Waling was prosecuted
Is repugnant TO the Constitution Of the United
States. This court held, Judge Bradley deliver
ing the opinion, that a discriminating tax I'M
posed by a State. operating to the disadvantage
of the products of other States when introduced
In the aforementioned State, is, in effect, q regu-
latlon OF interstate among the States,
and as such, is a usurpation of the power con-
ferred b5 the Constitution upon the
Congress- of the United States. The SUI
preme Court of Michigan held that the tax
imposed by the act is an exercise of the police
power of the State for the announcement of
the ustsof Intoxicating liquors and the preservar
ton of the health and morals of the people. The
Supreme Court of the United States holds that
this would be a perfect justification Of the act if
1t did not against the citizens and
the products of other States, and thus usurp one
OF the prerogatiyes Of the national legislature.
The court concludes its opinion as follows; 1--WE
think that the act in question operates as a reg
ulation of among the States in a man
ner within the exclusive power OF Congress-, and
that it is for this reason repugnant to the Consti-
tuition of the United States, and the judgment of
the Supreme Court of Michigan Is reversed and
the case remanded, with instructions to take
such further proceedings as may not be incon-
sistent with this opinion"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-In April last the State
Department. instructed the consuls located in
different parts Of the world, and representing
tie United States, to inquire whether the mar
ket for American leather and boots and shoes
could be by any manner of means extended
The consuls made Investigations, and the result
is a very elaborate printed report on the subject.
Insumming up the results of their investigation,
Governor Porter, Assistant Secretary of State,
does not take avery hopeful view of the outlook.
He thinks that as the supply of skins does not
meet the demand in this country, and as 1T is
also necessary for our manufacturers to import
tanning materials, that they cannot successfully
cope with the manufacturers in countries where
materials are very much cheaper than in the
United States. 1t is found that the work pro-
duced in this country is very superior to that In
nearly every other country of the world, and
that the people are everywhere prejudiced in
favor of domestic goods. The investigation was
conducted at the request of Boston manufactur-
ers, and is said to have proven unsatisfactory
TO them.

The Strike In the Coke Regional Crowd OF
Hungarians Defy a Sheriff.
MI. PLEASANT, Pa, Jan 18.-The Morewood
and Standard mines were heavily guarded last
night. The events of last week, however, have
had an intimidating effect upon the men willing
to work, and very few presented themselves at
the ovens. No disturbance occurred last night.
The company's guards and deputies are holding
undisputed possession. This morning Sheriff
Stewart. with twenty-five deputies, went to
Morewood to arrest a Hungarian who had
threatened to shoot a man who wanted to work.
The Hungarians saw them coming from the
house In which the offender was surrounded by a
mob OF his countrymen. They were armed
with clubs and the women with knives, and they
swore they would all die before they would allow
the strikers to be arrested. The sheriff held a
council of war and determined not TO precipitate
a conflict. His small band then reiterated. 1t
will be impossible to make any arrests without
bloodshed now, by the ordinary process of law.
Everything is quiet at both places now.
Sheriff Stewart reached Mount Pleasant this
afternoon, and will hold. a consultation at Green's
burg tonight with the coke operators regarding
the advisabiilty of asking State aid to quell the
disturbances which will inevitably occur il any
arrests are made. There has been no disturb
ance at either the Moorewood or Standard works
today. The miners at the Valley, Hecla and
United works are reported to have come out this
afternoon.

The Story of Stephe ~CampbeHs Who Has
Been Sentenced to Life Imprisonment.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CLAYTON, Jan. 18.-During the year 1871 or
1872 a man named Stephen Campbell came to
Brownshprg. Hendricks county, from the south
ern part of the State. A woman accompanied
him, and he said she was his wife. After a short
time they went away, and Campbell soon re-
turned alone. claiming his wife had died during
the time He worked in the vicinity of Browns
burg probably twelve months, and married a
lady by the name of Missouri Hamilton. They
seemed to live happily together for nearly a year,
when the wife suddenly became sick. Campbell
went to Brownsburg, two miles away, at mid
night, and secured the services of DIR. Barker
The doctor Immediately visited the home of
Campbell, and found his wife suffering from the
effects of arsenical poison. All possible aiG was
rendered, but the woman died. Campbell did
not return home from his call on DR.. Barker,
but disappeared.
A postmortem examination was held over the
remains of the dead woman, and it was settled
beyond doubt that she died from the effects of
arsenical poison. The grand jury, at the April
term. 1874. returned an Indictment against
Campbell, charging him with murder. The
County Commissioners offered a reward of 800
for his arrest. and two citizens of the county
each offered $50. Campbell was chased through
Morgan, Brown and Monroe counties, but es-
capped. No trace of him further was found un-
til the last week of October, 1885. John Doug
lass, of Plainield, went to Clinton, this State,
and while there recognized Campbell in a store.
Upon inquiry, Douglass learned that Campbell
was married again, and had one child, and was
known by the assumed name of Mike Enliss.
Douglass. being satisfied that Campbell was
the murderer, had him arrested and brought
him to Danville. where he was lodged in Jail the
I'd day of last November. Campbell had resided
in Clinton five years, and vehemently protested
that his name was Enliss; but citizens of
Brownsburg identified him as Stephen Camp
bell.
Thu trial commenced last Wednesday, in the
Hendricks Circuit Court, Judge Ayres on the
bench, and the jury went out at 8 P. NJ. on Sat-
urday. No verdict was reached until 10 o'clock
Sunday morning, when Campbell was sentenced
for life. In the first ballot Of the jury ten were
in favor of hanging. A well-deined rumor says
that Campbell left a wife and five children in
the eastern part of the State a few years before
he came to Brownsburg. Campbell is probably
fifty three years old.
