nationality =? The question answers
itself. They must be such as are in
accordance with the conditions exist
ing and inhering and perpetuated in
the subject to be governed. That is,
in the laws governing you as citi
zen, the constitution of the state I'M
der which you live must be accepted
as determining what is and what is
not legal requirement, and the final
determination of what is not constitu-
tiOnal must be left to the highest trib-
unal established to determine this
question of fact. That is all that is
to be determined. The constitutional
ity of the law established, it's binding
force is upon you, as a citizen.
1t is the same thing in the society,
the beneficiary, the church, it is all
of one. Whatever the constitution of
any one of these declares as its fun
damental law is practically such law.
Those who are under such constitution
are under that, law. The only ques-
ton that can arise is as to the consti-
nationality OF the enactment. That

There is only the question of expedien,

it is better to remain under the con,

is the personal question and to il

New York, June 13.-Mr. Krohn, sec
rotary Of the National Association of
Cigars makers, has sent to Secretary

The examination in the case of Samuel c.
Allison, the shipbuilder and dry dock owner.
who Is charged with fraud by his nephew
Michael Allison. set down for yester-
day morning in Justice of the Pence Geiger's
court in Jersey City. Michael Allison charges
his uncle with having transferred tn him 100
shares OF stock Of the Allison Dry Dock Com
pany representing it to be worth S . 900. when,
in fact. 1t has no value.
Lawyer Isaac 5. Taylor. who represented tho
defendant. said: There has never been more
vile attempt to blackcn and defnmc the charac-
ter of an honest and respected citizen than this
attempt against Samuel L. Allison, who for
some years had been the guardian Of the plain
tin before he attained his majority. Tho
whole transaction consisted. far as Mr.
Samuel G. Allison knows. of the fact
that there hos been delivered to tho
representative OF the young mans mother
n certificate OF stock of the Allison Dry
Dock Company for 100 shares. to which that
estate was emitted according to the books of tho
company. MI Samuel G. Allison being the
Treasurer. and the stock never having been
taken from the company. The stock WAS not
tn Mr. Alison's hands as guardian nor In his
hands personally. hut WAS IN his hands simply
as Treasurer OF the company. He delivered it

pany. That was the last connection that sam
