The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1886-07-28

A SOMEWHAT remarkable decision
has been made at Memphis by United
States Judge Hammond concerning the
sale of subscription books. According
to Judge Hammond, it becomes the
duty of book-dealer when he knows
that book is sold by subscription to
make inquiry as to the authority of one
offering to sell in any other mode, and
failure to make such inquiry is equiva-
lent to notice of fraud. In the case in
question an Ohio bookseller, against
whom the suit was brought, bought the
books not of an agent of the subscrip-
ton concern, but of another dealer,
and he had no notice of fraud except
such as was implied, under the judges
decision, in his knowledge that the
work was published by subscription.
Judge Hammond describes this act as
one whereby the owner loses his fair
profits" This, however, can be true
only indirectly. AS far as concerns the
particular volumes sold, the publisher
receives all he asks for them and the
author gets his full copyright. All that
has happened is that the agent, of his
own free choice, surrenders a part of
his commission for the sake of selling
more volumes than he could by indi-
vidual solicitation. His action is only
similar to that of the ordinary retail
bookseller, who cuts under the advel-
tised price of books in the regular trade
and gives his customer discount of
from twenty to thirty-three per cent.
In the former case there is the more
excuse for the act, from the fact that
subscription books are usually sold al
an inordinate price. The decision is a
somewhat remarkable one, and, il
affirmed, is of more than ordinary i'm
portance to the book-trade.

LESS than twenty members remain
to be elected to the new British parlia-
ment, and the elections will not be con-
cluded until the little Orkney Islands
have voted, July 20. It is probable
that the tories will be about fourteen
short of majority over the combined
strength of other parties. Mr.. Glad
stone has resigned, and the Queen has
summoned Lord Salisbury to form a
new cabinet. The policy of the oppo-
sition in the new parliament is said to
be in adherence to home-rule and to
harass the government. If the con-
servatives fail in their attempts to gov
ern Ireland, Mr.. Gladstone will stand
ready to revive his legislative projects
and to procure a reversal of the popu-
lar verdict rendered against home rule.

THE number of insane people whom

PEELED to maintain is rapidly increasing
from year to year. The New York

Cure For Pies.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
of weight in the back, loins and lower part
OF the abdomen, causing the patient to
suppose he has some affection of the kid
neys or n%eighboring organs. At times,
symptoms of indigestion are present, as
fatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture, like Precipitation, producing a
disagreeable itching, after getting warm is
a common attendant. Blind, bleeding
and itching Piles yield at once to the APP
plication of Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts affected,
absoi bling the tumors, allaying the intense
itching, and effecting a permanent cure.

vein of humor which he can use to good ad-
vantage either before a jury or on the stump.
In 1876 he made his memorable canvass in
which he beat his able opponent, Pettibone,
for congress with a fiddle. In Tennessee it is
customary for the rival candidates to st,lmn
the state together. On this occasion Mai.
Pettibone would first address the audience in
one of his graudiloquent speeches. Taylor,
on rising to reply, would say: Ladies' and
gentlemen, you ave heard enough hifalutiu
speechifying for one occasion. Surprising ]
give you a tune on the fiddle" And fiddle
away he would until the audience would be-
"Jlgging" and singing and bowling with en-
thuslasm sufficient to grant him anything. In
this way he 'iddled" himself into congress
Back of Mr.. Taylor's love of humor he pos
sesses solid requirements that will enable him
to fill any position within the gift of his state.
