Delaware Druggists Inquire Com
corning thc Limit OF IA Grade MARX.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Represeptstive
Of the Delaware Pharmaceutical Society
assembled in force this morning in the
room OF the House committee on patents,
and under various forms and with con-
siderable argument prcpounded TO the
committee question of great Importance
TO druggists and patent medicine men
throughout the country.
The question briefly stated Ia: Does the
trademark of the owner or manufacturer
of patent medicine give tho right to
control tine manufacture and sale of that
medicine sitter the patent has expired 2
1t is said that many proprietary articles
can be manufactured only after the for
mula upon which trademark is based,
and that an affirmative answer to the
question heretofore stated would give the
owner of the trademark perpetual
monopoly of the astiole in quest on not
withdrawing that his patent to the same
had expired BY law.
Patent medicine pEopiistors have
threatened suit against druggists who man
ufacture compounds upon which they
have trade. marks and the latter desire TO
know their rights now in order that they
may not hereafter bs mulcted in large
! damages. There was some difference Of
opinion manifesto by the members OF
| the committeen on the question pre-
scented and Chairman ButterwoTth prom
ised to writs an opinion fer the benefit oil
| the druggist.

New York World, SATURDAY.
The new code Of rules for the Houae
has been adopted, and Speaker Reed is in
command of the House, but not so en-
tirely as he was during the two months
when he refused to report any rules. The
minority hse succeeded in saving SONS of
It's constitutional rights. It 10 at least in-
formed of ihs regular order OF business.
Some minor improvements have been
made in the rules governing the opm-
mittee of the whole, but the reduction
of its quorum to 100 members is not Que
of them. That simply increases the
facilities for footing the treasury.
The Speaker has obtained the right to
declare quorum, against the testimony
OF the yeas aud nays, by subtle mIsrep-
resen alton which has obscuIed the fRcte.
1t is not true that the refusal of the
minority to vote has be n the resort OF
flibusters. When a minority consisting
of ell the members of a political party re-
fuses to vote il is matter Of grave i'm
portance.
Fifteen years ago the Force bill was
opposed in this way, and within the
present session the Democrats have strug-
gled against Mr.. Reed'B usurpation by
declining to participate in the buainess
Of congress. The right to compel the
political majority to pass its purely
partisan legislation by ssensing the pres
ence OF its owl constitutional quorum is
one that ia absolutely essential to frea
parliamentary government.
AZ to 6libustsEing there can be but one
| opinion. but the refusal OF men to vote ID
not filibuatering, nor is it that which has
aroused the oountry's wrath. Dilatory
motions, useless roll-oalls, the unnecss.
sRry reading Of bills, nre the evils OF
which we have complained, and Mr.. Reod
and his subserviont followers have
Adroitly confused with these the right OF
the minority to compel the proper and
orderly transaction Of business with {
full House.
The Speaker has won the power from
the House, but II is power which the
House cannot grant, go that every bill
passed by this counting of quorum will
be invalid. The Supreme Court cannot
sustain it, and it is very probable that
much OF the important legislation of this
Congress will be questioned in the courts.
Meanwhile Mr.. Reed drives his party rs
though it were composed Of sheep.
