Minneapolis JournaLI

A good story is told Of one Of our local
politicians who was canvassing for the
nomination for county Office. One after
noon he attended a meeting In an out
township, and meeting an intelligent
young man W HON he thought might have
some influence, walked up to him and
shook him warmly by the hand, inquir-
ing: "How is your father" The Y. m.
answered: "My father has been dead
three years" Indeed" replied the can.
didate, Il had not heard of it. l knew
him intimately. He was one Of my best
friends, and l regret to hear it. He was
one Of the best and purest men ever
knew. You have my sympathy" etc.
The same evening he met the same person
in a village near by, and having forgotten
his face, accosted him the second time
with the interrogatory; "How is your
fathers" The young man looked at him
for a moment and said: "He is still
dead" and walked of.

Copy of Cablegram Received from II. d.

LONDON, Eng, Aug. p, 1886.
In the chancery division of the high court
of justice, London, Vice Chancellor Bacon
has given his decision in favor of The
Charles 4. Nogeler Company of Baltimore,
Maryland, in the action brought by that
house against II. Churchill and Company
of Brisbane, Queensland. The case which
has been in progress here since September
ISL z ew out of an attempt of Churchill
ana Company to register trade mark con-
tanning the words st. Patrick Oil in con-
nection with a medicinal preparation.
This was promptly opposed by the Nogeler
Company, who, while admitting that the
term and device which were sought to be
registered by the Australian firm were in
no respect identical 10 the well-known St
Jacobs Oil trade marks, contended, how
ever that sufficient similarity existed be-
tween the term St. Patricks applied by
Churchill and Company and st. Jacobs as
used hv the Nogeler Company to cause con-
fusion IN the minds of the public and lead
to purchasers being deceived. In support
of tuis position they submitted an over
whelming amount of evidence from En-
glish American and Australian sources
with the result stated. Under the decision
of the court Churchill and Company can
not register their mark and must pay costs
of the case. This is the second trade mark
suit won by the Nogeler Company in En-
gland within three years.

/ Whenever you declare by law that

The protection given to manufsctu-
rers by your party for the last twenty
five years has created few very wealthy
men, but, on the other hand, what has
been the result with the great mass Of
laborers? Manufacturing being con-
fined TO fewer establishments rendered
the competition Of labor too great. and
thus the price Of labor was reduced far
below living wages, and the importation
of foreign paupcr labor, at still reduced
rates, drove millions Of ia5orers onto the
highways as tramps.
The concentration Of capital in these

ont all competition, and the great mass
