the year past, than for many years pre-
ceding, and also showed that the gen.

ty was subsiding.

The public has been informed by our
contemporary that certain councilmen
ought not to take more than sixteen
drinks per day. This is our contempo-
rary's limit for safety. We are afraid
that this editorial gauge will not do for
councilmen, or the trades and professions
generally. For instance, our Republican
councilmen who were perfectly sober, we
presume, couldn't see that contract for
printing should be given to the lowest re-
sponsible bidder, and voted to give it to
the highest. If they had taken half of
sixteen drinks, they probably would have
voted to increase the price. So far as
playing fair and square is concerned, we
must give the palm to the four Demo-
cratic counclmen, who (whiskey or no
whiskey), did the manly thing of voting
lin opposition 10 their own party pre-
dilections) against such an unfair pro-

ingly improbable. He was somewhat
easier yesterday morning, and his fam
lily became quiet encouraged, but to-
wards noon he grew decidedly worse
and sooa sank into an unconscious
condition from which he never rallied,
but continued to fail until at the hour,
indicated he sunk into that sleep
which knows no waking, the quiet
sleep of death.
Mr.. Muse was native of that part
Of Craven county which is now Pam
lico, and was born on April 4th, 1882,
and consequently he was So years old
last April. He learned the trade of a
printer at Newbern, where he for a
time published the Journal. He came
to this city in 1865, his first work be-
ing upon the Herald, edited by T. M.
Cook. He subsequently worked upon
the Journal, became foreman of the
Dispatch, and his last situation in the
composing room was as foreman of the
Star, position he relinquished in
1870 to become city editor Of that pa
per. Since then, until the time of his
death, his work has been upon the To-
cal columns of the Stor, and well and
faithfully he fulfilled the duties of
that laborous position.
During the last five years our ofic-
ial duties have called us into daily in
tercourse with Mr.. Muse and from
the profound respect formed frsm a
previous slight acquaintance, we had
| learned to love him for his many ami
| able qualities, He was one Of the very
few men we have known of whom
nothing could be said to his discredit.
There was gentle as child, entirely
| unsuspecting, kindly hearted, of the
strictest integrity, accommodating,
quiet, modest and unobtrusive in his
manners and faithful to every trust re-
posed in him and to every duty i'm
posed upon him. He was fond and
devoted husband and father,
a kind neighbor, good citizen and a
sincere Christian. He was connected
with no church organization, but there
was deep, pure and sacred worship
of God and love of man in his heart,
which spoke louder than any mere
outward profession. A good man has
crossed the river to the glorious sun
light of the great beyond there to
await the approach of loved ones,
whom he has left for awhile on earth.
He leaves wife and five children to
whom we tender our sincere sympathy
in this hour of bereavement.

JUDGE MEARES ON THE LAW.
He Declares an Act Passed by the Last
Legislature to be Unconstitutional.
E1.o.s Jbo rborIotYe Oboers~r

Legislature co De UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Fro~s the Charlotte Observer.
In the Criminal Court yesterday the
case of the State VS.. j. w. Miller, for
violation of the law requiring mer-
chants, manufacturers and other busi-
ness men to take out license before
they can sell goods by sample, was
called for trial before Judge Meares:
Mr.. Miller had previously been tried,
convicted and fined 5000 by Esquire
McNinch and the case was brought
before Judge Meares on appeal from
the magistrates court. The defendant
was represented by Bynum, Bynum &
Shipp. A special verdict of not guilty
was entered, and Solicitor Wilson took
an appeal to the Supreme Court of the
State.
Judge Meares held that the act was
unconstitutional, as by reason Of the
clause which allows home manufactur-
ers a rebate, it becomes indi5crimina-
tive. In Wilmington, three weeks ago,
case of identically the same charac-
ter was heard before Judge Meares
and disposed Of in the same way. The
Wilmington case was not appealed.
On the verdict being rendered in
the Miller case yesterday, Solicitor
Wilson entered an appeal to the Su-
preme Court of the State, and this be-
ing an unusually important matter,
the appeal will be heard in advance OF
the appeals from this district. 1t will
be forwarded to the Supreme Court at
once, and will meet with prompt at
tention. Should Judge Meares' opin-
ion be sustained, as it probably will
be, by the Supreme Court, it will be
pretty rough on our lawmakers to
learn that they have framed and put
in force law that is unconstitutional.
The law requires merchants and 9TH
er to take out 800 license tax from
the State Treasurer for the privilege
of selling their goods by sample, un-
der penalty of 5000 fine or ninety
days imprisonment, and large numbers
of business men throughout the State
have already complied with the re.
quirements Of the act, and now hold
the Treasurer's certificate, while the
Treasurer holds their money. In the
event that the law is declared uncon
stitutional by the Supreme Court the
probable result will be that the State
Treasurer will be called upon to re
fund the money to those who have
purchased licenses under the act.
Judge Meares, having previously
decided the law unconstitutional, hi
decision in the Charlotte case has beer
anticipated, and we understand that {
request has been received from the
Acknowledgement to have the appea
sent up promptly to the Supreme Cour
80 that the matter can be finally set
tied with as little delay as possible.

THE ART OF ADVERTISING.
A Science That Makes Mon Rich and
BOoms Trade.

oOOI06 4Thu6s
What a science the art of advertis-
ing has become, and how many mill
ionaires owe their wealth to the Judi
cious use of printers ink and space in
the columns of influential newspapers
Bonner of the New York Ledger piled
up his fortune by the increase of cir
culation obtained by publishing the
opening chapter Of every new story in
papers all over the country, closing at
an interesting crisis, with the informa-
tion that the rest could only be read
in the columns of the New York
Ledger. The cute It thing in the way
of railroad advertising was engineered
by Capt. May Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. When Jules Verne's story
of "Around the World in Eighty
Days, was published in France, q
Philadelphia paper had it translated,
and printed the story in installments.
In that portion where the author de-
scribes his railroad trip from San
Francisco to New York, Capt. May
had inserted an original chapter spe-
cially devoted to praise of the cars and
track Of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
and highly complimenting the 4un-
dersigned," as he was accustomed to
say when speaking of himself. for &C
celebrating the progress of the party
towards New York.

THE RIFLES FAIR

is in progress at the Armory, and has
been literally patronized. The Ma
tional Rifles, like the Washington
Light Infantry, owe their position, to-
day, to the liberality Of the citizens of
Washington. The liberal patronage
during the fairs of a few years ago,
enabled each troop to build magnifi-
cent Armory. A small debt prompts
the Rifles to again ask assistance it
is being most generously given.
LOSING $4,000
creates some comment. Naturally, the
Capital experiences little excitement
over the adventure of Mr.. Balm, q
bank runner, formerly of Norfolk who
dropped S20,1OO on the streets of
Washington, and never stopped to
pick it up. Some poor devil picked
it up for him. SHADOW.

Presidents Thanksgiving proclama-
ton
By the President of the Usited States
Of America.
PROCLAMATION,
The American people have always
abundant cause to be thankful to AL
mighty God, whose watchful care and
guiding hand have been manifested in
every stage of the national life, guild
ing and protecting them in the time of
peril, and safely leading them in the
hour of darkness and of danger.
It is fitting and proper that a nation
thus favored, should on one day
in every year, for that purpose espec-
tally appointed, publicly acknowledge
the goodness of God, and return
thanks to Him for all His gracious
gifts.
Therefore, I. Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States of
America, do hereby designate and set
apart Thursday, the 26th day of Nov
ember, instant, as a day of public
Thanksgiving and prayer; and do in
woke the observance of the same by
all the people of our land.
On that day let all secular business
be suspended, and let people assemble
in their usual place of worship, and
with prayer and songs of praise de-
voutly testify their gratitude to the
giver of every good and perfect gift
for all that he has done for us in the
year that has passed; for our preser-
vation as united nation and for our
deliverance from the shock and dan
ger of political convulsions for the
blessings and peace and tor our safety
and quiet, while wars and rumors of
wars have agitated and afflicted other
nations of earth for our sincerity
against scourage of pestilence, which
in other lands has claimed its dead by
| thousands, and filled streets with
mourners; for plenteous crops which
reward the labor of the husbandman
and increase our nations wealth and
for contentment throughout our bor-
ders which follows in the train of
prosperity and abundance.
And let there also be on the day
thu. set apart, reunion of families sanc-
tilted and chastened by tender memoir
les and associations, and let social in
tercourse of friends with pleasant rem
iniscence renew ties of affection and
strengthen bonds of kindly feeling.
And let us by no means forget while
we give thanks and enjoy the comforts
which have crowned our lives, that
truly grateful hearts are inclined to
deeds of charity; and that kind and
thoughtful remembrance of the poor
double the pleasures of our condition
and render our praise and thanksgiv-
ing more acceptablein the sight of the
Lord.
Done at the city of Washington, this
the second day of November, one
thousand eight hundred and eighty.
five, and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
tenth. BY the President,
