100000 persons, NEST of whom must

Act of 1882, the remainder being in the hands

the Trustees to offer the land to laborers,

rent which meant the same rent that was paid
for similar land in the neighborhood, but with

powers of purchase. There was no desire To

had come when they must keep faith with the
laboring men. They must not adopt any

compulsory powers given for the acquisition OF

How the Tory Ministry Fell.

In the House of Commons on jan
uary Goth, Ceilings moved an amend
ment to the address from the Queen
ON the subject of allotments, and
Gladstone heartily supported the
amendment, which was adopted by a
vote of 500 to $50, the Government
being defeated. The result of the
division was received by the Irish
members with derisive cheers and cries
of "boycotted." The House then ad-
journsd, pending the formation of a
new Cabinet by Gladstone.
The New York Tribune says For the past
week the London correspondents have been
limiting that the English Cabinet would soon
&c out, but thought 1t would be on some phase
of the Irish question. They ignored the fact
that the government might choose to stand or
fall on Ceilings amendment, which had the
precedence. SO far the exact form OF the
amendment is not known here, but the subject
of allotments and small holdings the question
upon which the English Cabinet was defeated
last night-was discussed at the ANNUAL meet

Small Holdings Association, and some idea o,
the object of this land movement was then

Drummsrs, Licenses UneOnss.sution.I

| Drummers' Licenses onSo1ssasaSASSA
In June, 1888. drummer for Chi
cago liquor firm was convicted at
Grand Rapids, Michigan, under . State
law imposing q tax upon persons
selling liqusr in that State to be ship
ped from any other State. and was
sentenced to pay fine, and be impris-
oned in default of payment. The
drummer appealed to the Circuit Court,
and was there found guilty by jury.
He carried the case to the Supreme
Court of Michigan, which sustained
the decision of the lower Court; and
be then appealed to the Supreme Court
of the United States. Last week the
Supreme Court rendered its decision
and decided that the act of the
Legislature of Michigan was uncon-
stitutionaI. The opinion was rendered
by Justice Bradley, the Court holding
that discriminating tax imposed by
State, operating to the disadvantage
of the products of other States when
introduced into the aforementioned
State, is, in effect. . regulation in
restraint of commerce among the
States, and as such is a usurpation of
the power conferred by the Constitn-
ton upon the Congress of the United
States.
The Supreme Court of Michigan
held that the tax imposed by the act
is an exercise of the police power of
the State for the Encouragement of
the use of intoxicating liquors and the
preservation of the health and morals
of the people. The Supreme Court ct
the United States holds that this would
be perfect justification of the act if
it did not discriminate against the
citizens and the products Of other
States, and thus usurp one of the
prerogatives of the National Legisla-
ture, and concludes its opinion as fol-
lows:
I'VE think that the act il question
operates as a regulation of commerce
among the States in . matter within
the exclusive power of Congress and
that it is reason repugnant to the
| Constitution of the United States and
void. 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 inconsistent with this opin-
ion."
The decision applies to every State
and Territory. and drummers will no
longer be compelled to pay for licenses
in other States than those in which
they reside. The Legislatures OF
States in which drummers have been
required to procure licenses must,
therefore, repeal the license act OF
discriminate against residents of those
States, as they are the only persons OF
whom they can collect the tax.

The many variant remedies present
ed during the interesting sessions of
the national conference OF charities
and corrections are full of suggestion
to those interested in the investiga-
ton of crime and pauperism. Each
worker in the great field has some
what different experience. and it is
evident that there are certain great
evils for which an effective remedy
has not been found. The remedies
for the tramp evil cited in the con-
ference, yesterday, are very num-
erous, and some of them are impract-
icable. The distinguished Dr.. Wines.
who has made life study of pauper-
ism and crime, in his interesting
paper showed that crime is by no
means caused mainly by intemperance
or illiteracy. Statistics destroy this
common belief. Intemperance and
illiteracy are accessories, but not the
sole direct procuring causes Of crime.
The truth is. crime is to a great ex-
tent in the blood, and ancestral de-
viltrv repeats itself at intervals
through the blood Of distant genera
tlons. The champions Of child train.

problems discussed by the conference
