The Ohio Association Demands Protection
Tho Carpet Industry Denounced.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 29.-The Ohio
Wool Growers Association held a
meeting with, 4 large attendance.
Among those present were David
Harpster, president; Hon. Columbus
DelanO, president of the National Wool
Growers Association, and Judge Will
liam Lawrence. The association
adopted an address to the wool growers
of the United States, and adopted a
resolution asking the National assOci-
alton to take the proper steps to carry
out the suggestions made in the ad-
dress. The essential features of the
address are:
In view of the imminent danger
which threatens all industries of Our
Nation, and especially the production
and manufacture of wool, the wool
growers of Ohio urge the necessity of
unity and activity in order to avert the
peril of free trade OF free wool with
which We are now menaced. The wool
growers of Ohio advocate u protective
system. A tariff for ven will not
secure protection. The result of the last
Presidential election was an emphat-
ic% expression by a large majarity of the
people in favor of a comprehensive sys-
TEN embracing all Our industries, in
Guiding the protection of wool by NAME.
If the Republican party in its legisla-
tive or administrative departments
fails to comply with this expression, it
will secure the reprOach of ~insincerity
or of inability to perform its duty.
As wool growers We ask for such
legislation and such administration of
existing laws as are required by the de-
liberate promises made by the Repub-
lican party priOrtO the last Presidential
election.
They denOunce the injustice of allow
ing the carpet industry to damage the
wool industry by importing clothing
wool under the false name of carpet
wool.
The wool growers of the United
States are called upon to be fully repre-
sented in the National convention of
wool growers to assemble in Washing
ton December 1, 1889. They are urged
to ask Congress to give the wool and
mutton industry protection to the full
extent of the most favored m~anrfactur-
ing industry.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. @.-Judge
Brewer yesterday gave in his decision
on the question as to whether the Texas
United States Court had Jurisdiction
Over NO-Man's-Land. He decides that
the court in Texas has full jurisdiction
in that land and that it has power ito
try all murder cases from that section.
The arrest of the Stevens County
murderers was not resisted, the fight
between them and the law being a tech
nical case, involving the jurisdiction of
any court to try them. They will make
this same fight over in Paris, Tex,

h Topeka Meat Inspection Ordnance
So Declared BY Judge Brewer.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 3O.-Judge
Brewer yesterday decided that the To-
peka meat inspection ordinance was
illegal.
The decision was given in a test case
brought by Swift & Co., the Kansas
City packers, whose agent was arrested.
fined 800 and sentenced to imprisOn-
ment for thirty days, for selling a car
load of dressed beef to Topeka markets
in violation of the inspection Ordi-
nance.
Judge Brewer delivered his opinion
orally, saying that while the ordinance
on the face of it declared it was EN-
acted for the purpose of providing pure
meat for the citizens of Topeka, it was
in reality made for no other purpose
than to prohibit the sale of Kansas
City dressed meat here. This, he said,
was clearly in violation of the commerce
clause of the Constitution of the United
States.
While he conceded the right of acity
to prevent the sale of impure meat to
citizens, it could not blockade COM
merce by requiring that all the meat
sold to its citizens must be slaughtered
within n mile of its city limits, as
this ordinance provides. The city could
prosecute the Kansas City packers if
impure meat was sold, and it might re-
quire that all their meat he inspected
before entering the city, but it could
not refuse, as it had done in this case,
to allow the meat to be inspected and
thus bar it from the markets.
