HAPPY DRUM.VERS.
The STATE and Local Tax Laws Declared IN
constitutional.

TIE STATE and Local Tax Laws Declared IN
constitutional.
by telegraph TO the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, January lS.-The
Supreme Court to-day rendered deci-
sion which is, in effect, that State or
local taxes upon drummers or CONNER
cial travellers are unconstitutional.
The case was that Of Walling rs. The
State of Michigan. Walllng was q
whiskey drummer from Chicago, and
the State of Michigan wanted to tax him
$500 for selling his goods within her
borders, the Revised Statutes Of that
State imposing such assessment upon
all who sell goods by sample from other
States. Mr.. Walling took his case
10 the Supreme Court of Michigan, and
was there directed to pay the tax. lie
appealed, and the United States Supreme
Court holds that only Congress by an in
ter-State- commerce law can authorize
drummer tax such as that imposed by
Michigan, and which is upon the statutes
Of a number Of other States. The Sd
preme Court ofMichigan held that the tax
imposed by the act is an exercise of
the police power Of the State for the
discOuragement Of the use of intoxica-
ting liquors and the preservation Of the
health and morals of the people. The
Supreme Court Of the United States
holds that this would be perfect justi-
fication Of the act if it did not discrimi-
nate against citizens and products ofoth-
eI States, and thus usurp one of the pre-
negatives of the National Legislature.

Interstate Railroad Transportation.

by telegraph 10 the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, January lS.-The
following is brief synopsis Of the bill
to regulate commerce reported from the
Senate select committee upon inter-
State railroad transportation to-day by
Senator Cullom: After specifying the
classes Of carriers, or rather kinds Of
traffic, to which the regulations pre-
scribed are to apply, and declaring that
all charges made by such carriers shall
be reasonable, the preliminary sections
aim to prohibit every variety Of I'M
just discrimination, to prescribe ade-
quate penalties therefor, and to pro-
vide for the enforcement thereof in
the courts of the United States. These
sections include requirement that all
carriers shall afford reasonable facilities
for an interchange Of traffic with con-
Meeting lines, and prohibition Of a
greater charge for shorter than for a
longer distance except when it can be
aifrmatiyely established by the carrier
that such charge does not constitute an
unjust discrimination. Another section
requires all carriers subject to the pro-
visions of the proposed act to file their
tariffs and classitications with the Inter-
State Commerce Commission, and pro-
yides that they shall be posted
or otherwise published, but leaves
to be determined by the Commission
the manner of publication and places at
and between which the rates shall be
published. Provision is made for en-
forcing the requirements Of the Com
mission in these respects through the
courts and for the maintenance Of the
rates that may be thus published. Pro-
vision is also made for the appointment
by the President Of five commissioners,
to be confirmed by the Senate, and
several sections are devoted to pre-
scribing the duties Of the commissioners
and the manner in which complaints |
are to be investigated and prose-
cutions instituted under it's direction
when found necessary. Under these
sections it is proposed to give the Com J

Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes, all efforts of inventors have
been directed to construct a lamp for general
domestic use. The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved, is that none OF
the inventors could rid themselves Of the idea
of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to
the system of producing the Electricity in
some central place, or by large machinery, in
stead of first laying down the principle that
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, must be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Elec-
tricity in itself, i. e., in the foot OF the Lamp.
The Norman Electric Light Company has
at last succeeded in completely realizing this
ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about complete revolution in all
branches Of lighting.
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in
manipulation all that is necessary is to refill
it every four or FIVE days with acid. The cost
Of lighting will be as cheap as gas ~ cents
per hour), and it has before the latter the i'm.
mense advantage Of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonc acid, owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains at the same
degree of temperature. 1t is further abso-
lutely inodorous, and does not need to be
kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
of fire, explosion or suffocation, as in the case
of gas, if the key is left open and it must be
conceded that this advantage alone is nvau-
able 1t is further preferable to any known
kind of lighting for the following reasons:
~ Its manipulation is so simple that any
child can keep it in order.
(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be
removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place
to another.
(3.) That it neither requires the disag'e.-
able fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the
cylinder as in the case of Oil Lamps,
(4.) That the light produced is soft and
most steady one that it never flicliers, and
the flame, though being equal in power Of
lighting TO gas, can be regulated to any de-
gree.
(5) That every danger of fire is absolutely
excluded, as the light will extinguish immedi-
ately, il by any accident the glass surrounding
the burner should be broken.
(6) That it will burn, even in the strongest
wind, completely unaffected, thus being in
valuable for Examinations, lighting Of gardens,
corridors, etc.
This Lamp is constructed for the present in
three different sizes:

Fifth-As AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM, the
DAILY HONOLULU PRESS possesses
unequaled advantages, having retained all the
subscribers to the late Saturday Press, in
addition to a new subscription list, which is
daily increasing, so that the paper is not only
enjoying a large circulation in this city and
vicinity, but is also mailed by every steamer to
subscribers at almost every landing on the
other Islands, and also to foreign countries,
thus combining the advantages of both daily
md weekly editions. The coming month,
especially, our paper will have much larger
circulation than all the other daily papers
combined, as we intend sending specimen
copies to every resident on these Islands
who reads English.
