The Supreme Court of North
Carolina last week filed an opinion
in the case of the State against a
Charlotte hotel-keeper whose bar
keeper sold liquor to minors. The
court holds that a liquor license is
q personal trust. Hence, though
the person holding the license may
employ persons to sell liquor for
him, yet if illegal sales are made by
the clerks, as on Sunday or to min.
ors, the clerks knowing them to be
such, the holder of the license is
liable to indictment as we'll as the
CLERKS, etc., since it is criminal neg
ligence on his part not to keep a
sufficient oversight to prevent yio-
lation of the.law. In other words,
the act of the employe is the act of
the principal.

THIRD PARTY BIRTHS AND
DEATHS.

DEATHS.
A Texas exchange has been look
up the history of third parties for
the education of its friends who have
strayed away with the peoples par
ty, SO called: Here is the list:
l. The Clinton democracy, born
1872 and lied the same year.
2. The anti>Masonic party, born
1926, and though such men as Sew
ard, fillmore, Weed, Clay and Writ
were identified with it, it's existence
ceased in 1882.
3. The liberty party, born in 1910,
died in 1874.
4. The free soil or abolition party,
born in 1848, died in 1852.
5. The southern states rights par
ty born in 1852, died the same year.
6. The American or know-nothing
party, born in 1856, died in 1860.
z. The liberal republican party,
born in 1872, died the same year.
8. The temperance rarty's birth
and death occurred in 1872.
9. The labor-reform party came
into an6 went out of existence in
1872.
10. The American national party
was born in 1875 and died in 1876.
IL. The greenback party was born
in 1875 and died in 1880.
II, The prohibition party,as ma
tional party, was born in 1876 and
has been dying a slow death ever
since.
IL. The national party was born
in 1873 and died the same year.
II. The national liberty party
breathed its first and last breath in
1879.
Is. The greenback>labor party
was born in 1882 and died SO quiet
ly that the exact time of its demise
is not known.
Since 1882 probably dozen diff
ferent parties, all more or less tinct-
ured with communism or socialism,
have fourished for short times.
So it will be seen that the demo
Gratis have danced at the funeral Of
more than score of parties.
