The House Investigating Committee in relation to the manufacture of pure family lard has resulted in the discovery that not only diseased pork is used, but that iusutfciently washed guts occasionally sl,p in" G " Bar tie, whose evidence before the commit tso created profound sensation, says the forthcoming testimony will create more of a sensation than that already published It may, however, be that MT. Bartla is simply giving expression to a prejudice agalnst the packers and that pure lard is less objection. able than he represents it. It is re- ported that Jacob Dold & Son, of Kan sas City, have brought suit agalnst Bartle for $60,O0O Mir. BartIe does not take water worth cent, but stout ly ayers he can prove the truth of his testimony before the Congressional committee, He also went fer the St. Louis packers and said that they largely engage m the slaughter of fsyered Texas cattle and ayerred that if the meat affected with Texas fever was injurious to health, half of St, Louis would have dled from It's effects. Bartle expressed the oplnion that fire has tendency to take out the poison from diseased meat, and that is req son why it's injurious properties have not been observed. Kansas City pack CTS filed with the committee 8 protest against the testimony of Bartle, de- claring 1t unworthy of belief.

In the License Law of Arizona is section winch provides as follows; "All persons who travel from place to place in thls Territory and sell goods, wares, merchandise, or other articles by sam- pie, commonly called commercial tray CTS, shall pay license tax of $50 per quarter. Such Incense shall be issued to, and used by only the person ap- plying therefor and when procured Tn one county shall be good during it's term in all the counties in this Terri tory"
 Nearly all of the States and Tern tories have similar laws, and their en- lorcement has given to courts many cases of complaint, and presents nice legal questions, The latest of these cases, entitled Ey Parte Asher, comes from the Texas Court of Appeals and the decision of the court ably disposes @t the question Of the right of a mu- nlcipality to tax the drummers. A year ago, after many contests in the different State and Territorial Courts, the drummers ganed victory in the Supreme Court of the United States, which held, in the case of Robbins ys. Taxing District, (from Tenn. and re- ported in l20 U. s. 4S9,) that statute imposing license tax upon drummers and others selling by sample within a certain taxing district, is regulation of interstate commerce, and therefore unconstitutional as applied to citizens of other States,
 But tho Texas court comes to the front and with all due respect for the National decision pronounees its judg- ment and order Ill the Robbins case an unwarranted assumption of con. stltutional authority an invocation of the Federal power, whore such pow. CT does not anu was never intended to apply and operate, and states further that the U. S. Court made that decis- ion in direct conflict with their former well adjudicated cases, which are not oyerruled therein, and finally, after an exhaustive examination of the prin- pal reported decisions bearing upon thls license question, disapproyss the Robbins ease, and holds that the Texas Act (which is substantially the same as our law) imposing an occupation tax upon travelling merchants, drum mera, or solicitors of trade by sample or otherwise, does not contrayene the clause of the Federal Constitution pro yiding for the regulation of commerce between the States by Congress.
 In the face of our law, if the Collse- tor asks for license from the joyial drummer, he is met with the laughing inquiry, Haven't you heard of the |. s, Supreme Court case, and refusal to pay, hut if our courts should deter mine to follow in the footsteps Of the memorable 14th Legislature and adopt little more Texas law, our conner cial visitor would depart from our midst with S200 per annum charged to his expense account for Incense taxes. .-s-==.ss.s-.s--ss.s.-.a=as-s.

had been to Camp Morton with lot of
rebel prisoners and were returning to
ST. Louis. When the train stopped at

there he heard a disturbance and run
