Testing the Nebraska License Law.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan 26-The high license
liquor law of Nebraska. which has been declared
constitutional in the State Supreme Court. is to
be tested further as to its constitutionality, in
the United States Supreme Court, by ST Louis
liquor firm, who two years ago sold a large bill
of goods to D. L. McGucken. of this city Nc
Quicken refused to pay the bill, and interposed in
defense the plea that the St Louis firm had no
license to sell goods in Nebraska, and hence
could not legally do business in Nebraska. The
high-icense law ovides that an applicant for a
license must swear that he is of good moral char
acter and resident of the State. The St. Louis
firm could not comply with the requirements
and their attorney maintained that the law was
unconstitutional, as it disregarded the clause re-
garding interstate commerce. The case was de-
cided in the District Court in favor of the de-
PENDANT, McGucken, and the Supreme Court af
frmed the decision last summer. The ST. Louis
firm has now ordered their attorney to appeal the
case to the United States Supreme Court, the in

The Eieht-aour Movement.

ST. Louis. JAN 26-The Post Dispatch to-day
publishes interviews, giving the opinions of over
200 leading employers and manufacturers, relat-
ing to the eight-hour system. The en-
ployers generally state that the adoption
of the eight-hour system will not affect their
business, but that it will surely result in re-
duction Of wages and of consequent injury to
the laboring classes They also state that the
movement. if put into force, will be met by the
"piece' system and the method of payment by
the hour The interviews develop that the piece
system is now largely in vogue in this city.

asked by the employees to sign the circular sent
out by the legislative board of the Trades Fed

The Smith Divorce Case.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
VINcENNEs. Jan. 26-Saturday morning the
divorce case of Jessie L. Smith against Cyrus A.
Smith came up before Judge Malott, and it was
not concluded until late Monday afternoon forty
or fifty witnesses being examined. The plaintiff
is daughter of Thomas Eastman, prominent
manufacturer granddaughter of the late Elder
S S. Burnett and cue of the loveliest and most
popular ladies of Vineennes. The DEFENDANTS a
local druggist, a son OF DR.. II. M. Smith, a lead
ing physician, graduate of Hanover and has
moved in the best social circles here and in the
national capital as we'll as in the capitals of
South America The plaintiff was married to the
defendant in the latter part Of August, 1884. and
she complained that after the first month their
married life was unsatisfactory. her husband
having been habitually under the influence of
stimulants and studiedly Indifferent and cruel to
her. In the trial. plaintiff, by her own and her
familys testimony, made out clear case in sup
port of the complaint: but this was modified by
an equally clear defense on the part of the de-
PENDANT and his family, the decision of Judge
Malott being thus forced upon the eredibility of
the two sides. This morning he threw the papers
upon the desk of the clerk with the brief remark
that, in the case of Smith VS.. Smith, there was a
finding for the plaintiff. Much interest was
manifested in the case, both parties having been
prominent in society, and the courtroom was
pretty well filled up throughout the trial.
