Of 1895, there is printed at the end OF
Chapter 116, being an Act to Raise
Revenue, the words Ratified the 18th

Now, when Zeke and Betsy went
through the Capitol building on the
10th of May, looking for the moonshine
distillery, they failed to investigate the
northeast corner of the building.
Evidently, taking the evidence of the
Secretary OF State as given May 23rd,I
1895, in connection with the above cir
cular letter OF certificate, Betsy and
Zeke must have been ''hotter" the
nearer they came to that corner.
Understand now, the law REQUIRES
the Secretary of State to furnish the.
lawsf or publications. to the State Printer I
and he has to certify to their accuracy
Or, in other words, that they are trIf6I
and exact copies of the originals. He
furnished the laws, az required by pre-
vlous plainly stated laws, and on Nav
%, 1895, made affidavit as follows:

Read the two certificates. Heswears
according to law on May 23d, when he
delivered the laws, that thew were then
true copies. If he was correct NAV
23d, was he correct July 11th?. If cor.
rect July 18th, was he correct Nav 23rd 2
1t IS plain that he is trV ing to prove
that he erred May 23rd, when he deliv
cred the'laws to the printer, and certiI
fed falsely. Now, the question is, can
he set aside an act which has
passed, been ratified and published.

signature declaring that the ratification
clause is not on the original bill nO1U?
he does not say it was not there Nav

at the end of the original, "etc. Which
one or these certificates will the courts

IS THE REVENUE ACT THE LAW

The close observer of the wiry id,
triguing of the partisan ring leadeR
around Raleigh, have been more THAI
a little amused at the attempts thai
have been made h~ereabouts by certain
of the baser sort to turn everything I'd
party account. When Gentlemaa
Elias Carr brought suit against th7
Honorable, The Secretary of State, t
prevent the publication of the assign
ment act, and then when Gentleman
Elias Carr, as Governor Elias Carr
authorized Secretary of State Coke I'd
employ counsel, two Raleigh lawyers
to defend the said Secretary of Statd
against the attack of Gentleman Eliza
Carr, we thought susely the absurdiEy
had reached the climax. We were 10th
to imagine a more silly partisan movA,
But the browning folly of all silly, fool.
ish, absurd acts has appeared. 1t is
the attempt of the Secretary Of State
to throw the who'd State into confui
sion and chaos, by mailing to the
county officials throughout the State
and certifying to the judges and solicit
tors as follows:

SENTENCED ~ JUsTICE JERONIE

SENTENCED BY JUSTICE JEROME.
The Carter Medicine Company has
been engaged for the last month in
running down a gang in this city who
have been making and selling a coUn-
terfeit of its trade mark Carriers Lit
tie Liver Pills" Notices have appear
ed Of several arrests which the COM
pany has made. For week past one
of these cases has been on trial in the
Court Of Special Sessions, before JUS
tees Jerome, Jacob and Hayes. The
prisoner was Thomas B. Hughes, a
druggist at No. 2S1 Tenth avenue. On
Wednesday the prisoner was found
guilty and sentenced to three months
in the penitentlary. In delivering the
sentence of the court, Presiding Justice
Jerome said:
Hughes. the Court after a long and
careful trial, has come reluctantly to
the conclusion that you are guilty
man. The whole value of many of
many of these articles lies in the trade
mark. Thousands and hundreds Of
thousands of dollars are spent annually
in placing them before the public. If
the public cannot rely upon these ar
ticles. then fraud is being practised

upon them, and upon the proprietary
rights OF these persons who own trade
marks. New York is a great COM
merclal city and trade marks are as
important to this city as integrity is
to a coiner. This is a class Of cases
which this Court does not look upon
with any leniency at all. The sentence
of the Court is that you be confined in
the penitentiary for term OF three
months"
The Justice also minated that but
for the prisoners previous record and
the fact that he had been in jail for
some time the sentence would have
been much helvier.-New York Tri-
bune.
