A TEST CASE.

The Supreme Court Of the united
States has decided (reported in Sup
Rep, of May 18th, 1900 an impor-
tant case that was carried to that
court by the tobacco trust. An ordi-
nance of the city of Chicago provided
that all dealers in that city should
pay license of 500 per annum. and
also required to prove to the satisfac-
ton of the commissioner OF health
that they ARE of good character and
reputation and are suitable persons
to be intrusted with the sale OF ciga-
rettes." The trust fought the ordi-
nance on the ground that it violates
the Fourteenth amendment. The ILL
nois Supreme Court held that the Ii
cense was not in violation of the
State Constitution and the Federal
Supreme Court held that the ordi-
nance was not i'm conflict with the
Fourteenth amendment "either in re-
gard to the clause requiring due pro-
cess of law or in that providing for
the equal protection of law" 1T adds:
whether dealing in and selling
cigarettes is that kind of business
which ought to be licensed is, we
think, considering the character of
the article to be sold. a question
for the State and through it, for the
city. to determine for itself. and that
an ordinance providing reasonable
conditions upon the performance of
which a license may be granted to
sell such article does not violate any
provision of the Federal Constitu-
ton % .*Dsg
This opens source of revenue for
cities and towns that many will
doubtless adopt.

hand man in buying his election to

Republican committee of the Ohio
Legislature with an attempt to bride

ma. The President knew of this
charge. Rathbone made the Cubans
pay even for his underwear and he
put down to public expense the cost
of his swell entertainments. Neeiey
was appointed because he was Fair

For President of the University.
Durham. n c., May 81, 1900.
nj e Of thc

To the Hon. Board of Trustees of the
University of North Carolina:
At the June meeting you will be called
upon to elect a President of our dearly
loved University. The services of the
best and fittest man in the State should
be secured, if possible.
In the year 1859, boy baby was born
in the little town of Pittsboro. In the
year 1879. he had grown up to manhood
strong and rigorous, and graduated with
honor at the University. Today he is a
resident of Durham, and one of the fore
most lawyers in the land and is in every
way qualified to fill with honor to him
self and the State, the chair of Presi-
dent of the University. That man is
James Smith Manning.
He is descended from the best stock on
both sides of the house, known in this
country, who. for generations past have
been patrons and devoted friends of this
grand old institution, and the State does
not contain a man who loves his Alma
mater better than James Smith Manning,
nor one who could or would labor more
zealously, lovingly and successfully for its
permanent upbuilding.
! do not believe a mistake will be made
in the election of James Smith Man
ming to the Presidency of the University
OF North Carolina.
Nothing but my love for the University
and deep interest in its permanent welfare
prompts this communication.
Respectfully submitted,

used in pumpkin pies at present OK

substitute was mixture of sweet pc
tatoes, apples and cheap flour favored
with chemical extract. | tasted some
of the stuff and was satisfied he was
telling me the truth.

with the expression was that it was not

The final decision was that the editor
would have been perfectly justified if
he had said that the plaintiff had act
ed like an unmannerly boor." but since
he had said that the plaintiff actually
was an unmannerly boor" he had
committed libel. In Germany it is Ii

man pig ass then there is no libel. be
