LAST OF THE MEAT LAW.

Minncsota's Measure Knocked Out by the
United States Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-The supreme
court of the United States rendered a de-
cision in the case of the State of Mime
sofa, appellant, VS.. Henry F. Barber, the
famous dressed beef" case. The court
affirms the decision of the lower court,
declaring the dressed beef law uncon-
stitutional, and d~ischarging the appellee
from custody. Barber was convicted
before a justice of the peace in Ramsey
county, Minnesota, Of having wrong
fully and unlawfully offered and ex-
posed for sale, and of having sold some
fresh beef, part of an animal slaughtered
in Illinois, but not inspected in Mime
sofa and certified" before slaughter as
required by the statute of Minnesota.
Barber sued out a writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that the statute was re.
pugnant to the provision of the constitu-
ton giving congress power to regulate
commerce between the states, as well as
to the provisions declaring that citizens
of each state shall be entitled
to privileges and immunities of
citizens in the several states. The lower
court held the statute to be in violation
of both these provisions. In the decision
handed down by Justice Harlan the OBJ
noxious statute is quoted at length. The
presumption that it was enacted in good
faith, to protect the health of the people
of Minnesota, the court says, cannot
control the question of constitutionality.
The court holds that this statute
makes a discrimination against the pro-
ducts and business of other states in IA
vor of the products and business of Min
nesota. "If this legislation does not
make such discrimination it would be
difficult to enact legislation which would
have such a result" says the court.

THE PRESS has received from In
surance Commissioner Carey a state
ment of the business transacted in
North Dakota during the past year.
Among other things it shows that
the foreign fire insurance companies
wrote policies during 1889 for ST..
39l,l2l.31 upon which they received
in premiums $%350,79l.79 and paid
losses amounting to $2l3,9 27.9 in.
Guiding losses incurred and not paid
the previous year. The statement
also shows some very interesting fig.
ures on life insurance. The Mutual
Life of New York received in premi.
ums $36,5OS.85 and paid in losses
$7,736. The Northwestern Mutual
Life of Milwaukee, received 1924, TO-
SO and paid a loss of sl,1OO. The
New York Life seems to be doing an
improbable business in the state as
it received in premiums $695.89 and
paid losses amounting to $lO,75O.
The Equitable Life, of New York,
received $18,418.45 in premiums and
met with no losses. The total pre-
miums received by all life and acci
dent companies amounted to 1884,
840.28; losses incurred $33,394,19 and
losses paid 2 .SO6.4e.

Mr., STANFORD'S IDEA.
The California Senator Intro.

Scrip Bill.
He Would Loan Farmers Money
to Half the Value of Their
Farms,
And Charge Them 2 Per Cent Per
Annum-state Control of Liquor
Traffic Discussed.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Mr. Stanford
introduced in the senate q bill intended
to carry out the idea outlined in his res
olution presented some time ago. The
bill provides for the establishment in the
treasury department. of a land bureau
with a chief at $1,000 a year, and an
assistant at 81, 900 a year to be appointed
by the president, The treasurer is to
cause to be printed, signed and ready
for issue circular notes of the denomina-
ton Of S., $40, 500, $50, 800, $500 and
$1,000 to the amount of 800, 900, 900,
which shall be legal tender with gold
and silver coin for like amounts, and
these notes are to be held in the treas
ury to the credit of the land loan bureau
until issued in accordance with the pro-
vision of this bill. Every person who is
a citizen or who has declared his inten-
ton to become a citizen and who is the
owner in fee of unincumbered agricul-
tural land may file with the bureau an
application for a loan to be secured by
a lien on the land. The note is not to
exceed
oNE-HALF THE ASSESSED VALUE.
OF the land, and no loan is to be for less
twenty years. A copy of the application
for a loan is to be filed with the recorder
of the deeds of the county or the coun-
ties of the state or territory in which the
land is situated, and it shall constitute a
lien on the property. The applicant for
a loan is to deposit a sum to be pre-
scribed by the chief of tha hr1rear. s1lfi-

TIE supreme court of the United
States is sitting down very hard on
anything tainted with states rights.
Only a few weeks ago the most i'm
portant part of Iowa's prohibition
law was knocked out, and now comes
the decision in the Minnesota dressed
meat case. wherein the state attempt
ed to forbid the sale 10y butchers of
any fresh meat, except that cut from
animals slaughtered within the state.
The court holds that if this rule
should be followed--similar laws CHI
acted in every state-commerce be-
tween the states would be destroyed.

IN THE SENATE.

Tho Bill Will Probably Reach the Upper
House During the Present Week.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The tariff bill
will probably reach the senate this
week. The greater part of it has been
through the engrossing clerks hands in
anticipation of its passage. In the SEN
ate it will be referred to the finance
committee. That committee has not
considered formally how it will deal
with the tariff question, but informal
talks among members develop the be-
lief that extended hearings will not be
given. A few of the representatives. Of
more important industries may be heard
from time to time, but most of the argu-
ments will be submitted in writing.
Senator Allison will have charge of the
bill. He will be seconded by Senator
Aldrich. The general expectation is
that the bill will be reported to the SEN
ate by the middle Of June-certainly
before the end of July.

Adverse Report.

Interviews Are False---Probably an
Adverse Report.
ST. PAUL, May 23.-The committee
appointed by the governor to make an
inspection in the various places where
binding Irvine is manufactured and re-
port as tothe a%dvisability of establishing
a factory in the penitentiary at Still
water has returned from their trip.
When seen by a reporter they declined
to make any statement as to what the
nature of the report would be. They
claimed that it would be improper for
them to discuss the matter publicly,
until after they had submitted their
official report to the governor. The COM
mittee have returned to their homes and
will assemble at the call of Secretary
Lathrop, probably early in June, and
will then decide upon a report and sub
nit it to the governor.
Mr.. Templeton says: II have not been
interviewed upon what the nature of
this report was to be, and have said
nothing that would give a clue to our
opinion in the matter. Any reports that
have been published as coming from me
are fraudulent"
From a gentleman who is familiar
with the subject it was learned that the
committee will probably all concur in a
report, and that this report will be in
opposition to the plan Of putting the
mandatory into the states prison.
This same subject was exhaustively
treated by a committee which made a
similar tour. That committee reported
committee finds the same objection to
the plan as their predecessors, the prin-
cipal objection being the cost of putting
in the machinery. AS regards the ex-
pense of establishing the plant there has
been no particular change. The only
important change in the status of the
question is the present low price of the
fiber. which is about 2 cents a pound
cheaper than formerly.
