Eminent Testimony.

". 7. Witness, August I5, 1850.
81 find that in addition to the pure spirits
contained in their composition, they con-
tain the extracts of hops and other well
known and highly approved medicinal
roots, leaves and tinctures in quantities
sufficient TO render the article what the
makers claim it to be, to-wit: a medicinal
preparation and not beverage-unfit and
unsafe to be used except as medicine.
From careful analysis OF their FORM
ula-which was attested under oath-I
find that in every wineglassful of Hop
Bitters. the active medicinal properties,
aside from the distilled spirits, are equal
to full dose for an adult, which fact, in
my opinion, subjects it to an internal rev.
enue tax as medicinal bitter.

Result of an Important Law Suit.
TFrom the New York World


LONDON, May Especial by cable) In the
suit of The Charles A. Vogeler company, of
Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A, against Parrot
& Co., of this city, the court of appeal has
granted the plaintiffs perpetual injunction
with costs. The action, which grew out of an
alleged infringement of plaintiff well known
trade mark, st. Jacobs Oil, was originally
heard in the high court of justice, where Vice
Chancellor Bacon, without going into the
merits of the case, considered it was one that
should go before the comptroller of trade
marks. From this opinion The Charles A.
Vogeler company appealed, claiming that
they were being injured by the goods of the
defendants, entitled st. Davids Oil. being
mistaken for theirs, and that while they had
taken steps to bring q case before the comp
troller of trade marks, months would elapse
before decision could be obtained, and as
their business would be seriously injured by
such delay, a restraining order should be
granted at once. The result of the appeal
was that perpetual injunction was
made, with costs. The proceedings
before the comptroller have been
abandoned by the defendants, and the
Baltimore house has thus achieved double
victory. By the order of the court of appeal,
Parrott & Co., and their agents, are perpetu-
ally restrained from using the term ''St
Davids OIL or any similar term, as well as
the words ''The Great German Remedy, ''and
any words or marks similar to those used by
The Charles a. Vogeler company in connec-
ton with their st. Jacobs Oil. The progress
of this suit has been watched with interest by
the mercantile and manufacturing commun-
ity of Great Britain, where thousands of trade
marks of almost incalculable value are
owned. 1t was shown by the evidenbe that
plaintiffs had sold during the past few years
over 1000, 900 bottles of st. Jacobs Oil, and
expended as high as $780, 900 in a single
year for advertising throughout the world
Their success in this suit is regarded with
great satisfaction in business circles. Emil
nent English and American legal talent
figured in the case. The counsel for The
Charles Vogeler company, of which latter
Mr.. H. D. Umbstaetter was personally pres
cnt, were Queens Counsel Theodore Aston.

Special Telegram to the Globe.
New YORK, May 23.-The situation in
Wall street grows worse and worse. Stocks
which might be rated as first class touched
to-day the lowest figures reached in years
and there was an unlimited quantity for sale
throughout the morning. Chicago, Burling-
ton II Quincy, although it announced 2
per cent dividend yesterday, fell from above
115 to Ill. Northwestern sold at 964
Delaware & Lackawanna at S735 and Della
ware 81 Hudson at SS15, as against 81 last
evening, while Jersey Central which closed
yesterday at 5S, touched 52115 to-day. These
immense shrinkages caused very nervous
feeling. Missouri Pacific and Western In
ion Telegraph were well sustained, but it is
difficult to imagine that they can stand the
pressure much longer. Pullman declined
to 80. The market continued active and
excited up to the finish Erie second bonds
were the weakest feature, and we see no rea-
son why they should not go lower, if the June
interest is not paid. There appears to be no
end to the liquidation. The Northern Pacific
securities have lost their grip completely.
The fact that the very best class of securities
suffered the most is not a favorable omen
and causes much comment. The bears
threaten that everything in three figures will
not require more than two to indicate the
price before long.
Henry Clews & Co., say: "The high
priced stocks received the attention of the
bears while they were under the hammer
The non-dividends were freely picked up,
still the lower range of prices made for the
former produced a somewhat demoralizing
effect. The present low price of Union
Mr.. Gould's original campaign some six
years ago, the success of which was the
beginning Of his great power and wealth.
The average price of his early
purchase was at about the
present figures. At that time,
although there was little else but
through traffic, which the road had to depend
upon, the local points since developed now
furnish the larger and more lucurative
part of the business. The outlook for divi-
dends at the time referred to
was indeed dismal, and no one
foresaw that such thing was possible
but Mr.. Gould. 1t is by no means certain
that the dividend quality of this stock has
entirely failed. It must also be considered
that the control which this stock carries with
it by its vote is of considerable value. Other
low-priced stocks can be estimated also in
value from the same stand point. In times
of decentralization like these such considera-
tions are very apt to be lost sight of. 1t is
for this reason we make the above allusion
and to show there are other qualifications
besides prospective dividends which should
enter into the calculation of values.n

New YORK. May 23.-Tammany hall was

meeting which the advertisement said, was
1.-The first gun for the presidential canvass :"
Iilden's name evoked long continued cheers
whenever it was mentioned. Congressman
Blackburn and Hurd were the principal
speakers. Congressman Morrison sent q
letter reiterating his well known views.
SPEAKER CARLISLE
In letter said, since the close of the war
more than four-fifths of the internal revenue
taxes had been abolished, while the tariff re-
mains substantially unchanged. Indeed, on
many articles of necessity in common use
among the people the rates of duty are high
er now than during the war, while on nearly
all OF them the duties are higher
in proportion to the market
value of the articles than they were then.
Taxes upon the vices and luxuries of the
people have been greatly reduced or entirely
aboli shed, while the taxes upon the necesia-
ries of life and the implements of labor are
retained and in some instances increased.
Under this policy commerce has been OBJ
structed, the cost of production increased,
and earnings of labor confiscated. These
taxes are not needed for revenue, and they
cannot be legitimately or benefcially main
tanned for any other purpose. There is not
an instance in the history of the world which
government has made its people rich and
prosperous by imposing unnecessary taxes
upon them. Every dollar taken by taxation
Is just SO much Withdrawn from the produc-
tive capital of the country, and from
laborers' means of support, and therefore
the plainest principles of justice and sound
policy demand that taxation should be re-
duced to the lowest limit com patible with the
public necessities. To tax the people for the
purpose OF raising revenue for the public use
is the legitimate function of the government
and if the burden is equally distributed no
citizen has right to complain, either of the
tax or OF its incidental effects; but to impose
tax for any other purpose is gross abuse
OF the legislative power, and will always pro-
yoke agitation, protest and resistance. The
stability in the laws affecting the industrial
interests of the people are absolutely essen
tial to continuous and rapid development
OF our resources, but stability can be. secured
only by doing as nearly as possible exact
justice to all whose interest are effected by
such legislation.

Rolling Mills Want Arbitration.

was filed on the part of the iron rolling mill
firms OF Allegheny county. praying for the
granting of license for a trade tribunal,
under the Wallace act, providing for volun-

forth that owing to dispute between the
employers and the employees in this judicial
district a suspension of work is probable.
Judge Stone heard the application and an
nounced that if nothing was to interpose, the
license would be granted tomorrow. It is
understood a petition from the workmens
side, which is necessary, will come from
those outside the amalgamated association,
as the latter are strongly opposed to set
