THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
Recent Legal Decisions.
A decision of much importance has been
rendered by Judge Swan, in the United
States Court at Detroit, in a case involving
the validity of a Michigan statute. This
law required foreign as well as domestic
corporations to pay to the State at the time
of riling their articles of association with
the Secretary of State a tax or fee of one-
half of one mill upon each dollar of their
authorized capital stock. The suit in which
the decision was rendered was brought by a
manufacturing]company of Akron, O., to re-
cover a balance due from a local agent. It
was shown, says BradstrecVs, that the com-
pany manufactured no goods in Michigan,
but sales were made there by local agents.
The Judge held that if the act in question
were construed to apply to foreign corpora-
tions doing an interstate commerce busi-
ness, it was unconstitutional and void; that
the business of the plaintiff company as ac-
tually conducted in Michigan was an inter-
state commerce business, and nothing more;
that although the company had a distribut-
ing warehouse in the State, and its local
agents retailed extras or repairs, these
features were a mere incident of the busi-
ness carried on between the manufactory
of the company in Ohio and its customers
in Michigan, and that the corporation was
not so located or domiciled in Michigan
as to be subject to Michigan laws. The
decision is not confined in interest to the
State of Michigan alone.

A iF.w days ago we examined one of the

proved to be a splendid instrument, with a
pleasing touch and singing quality of tone

A high-grade piano costs more
than an instrument which k in
that class known as "medium,"
but what a satisfaction to sell a
high-grade piano, and how pleasant
to meet the customer and friends af-
ter the sale is made, particularly if it is a
giant intellect dominated. The "new man"
was indeed supreme.
The "new woman" was an attentive lis-
tener; she bore it all patiently, and when he
had wearied himself and his hearers, she
called him aside, and in a manner admira
ble for its lack of condescension, gave him
the following advice:
In promulgating your esoteric cogita-
tions, or articulating your superficial senti-
mentalities, and philosophical, psychologi-
cal observations, beware of platitudinous
ponderosity.
Let your conversational
communications possess a rarified con-
ciseness, a compact comprehensibleness, a
coalescent consistency, and a concatenated
cogency.
Eschew all conglomerations of
flatulent garrulity and jejune babblements.
Let your extemporaneous descantings and
unpremeditated expatiations have intelli-
gibility, psittaceous bacinity, ventriloquial
verbosity and vaniloqucnt rapidity. Shun
double entendres, pestiferous profanity,
obscurant or apparent.
In other words,
talk plainly, briefly, naturally, sensibly,
truthfully, purely. Say what you mean,
mean what you say, and don't use big
words.
It is admitted by all that no piano ever put upon the
market has met with such success as THE STERLING,
and thousands will testify to their superiority of work-
manship and durability. Why ? Because they are made
just as perfect as a piano can be made.
THE STERLING ORGAN has always taken the lead, and
the improvements made this year puts it far ahead of
all others. £^"*Send for Catalogue.
