Tir.s interpretation is correct, ad iecent !eveli'i"iieiit3 have prove!1. The Iuter-:ate Commerce Di'.l is a uu'l assert u:u of national authority, im plying that the pi-op!e hb represented in the (iovernu.ent aie the rn.-tsters of cor porations. That I he opposite impression should have prevailed is not surpiising i:i view of the submissive attitude the Croveri.meiit too often assumed to corpo lale power. Tlie measuie is another evidence of the tendency of the times to limit the aggn saious of monopoly. Avusii -the other bills introduced in Countess for defensive purpeses. the one presented by Senator Cameron ia consid ered one of the most important. It provides for ten steel cruisers with a maximum sped of twenty knots an hour. Speed :s considered one of the Orvt essentials in the construction of e:!icient naval vessels, and that these cruiseis may attain the highest possible perfection in this respect, the bill propo ses lilral bonus for a rate of speed beyond that lixed in its provisions. 1 r ia said the island of Newfoundland presents a most pitiful sight, scores of its people being on the verge of starva tion, nnd whoae suflerin23 are intensified with all the rigors of a Newfoundland winter. Newfoundland fish is a glut on every market, owing to the inability to compete with that of their bounty-fed French rivals. The Goverument Treas ury has already depleted itself furnish ing iid and work for its subjects, and theie seems to be no hope of any speedy relief pom their deplorable condition. I: is believed i s people are the most miserable of all English colonists. Ar-XF.u all the discussion on the wine and hijuor question, intemperance and iTohihi:.' -;. we may finallv arrive at " . ' .. ' TMw wish cM'.CluMon that real teiuperar.es consists in the proper use of w ines, while lutemperance is only another r; for their abuse. In accord with this view Dr. Howard Cii :y irte'it'v declared in a lectuie ttial 'T.o method of lighting intemperance can stand for a moment which condemns the use of wine." "I don't It-Iieve in treating," lie said, "bul I'll say this : If you want a glass of claret with your 'srefsteak to-moirow mortihn'., and c tn afford to have it, and dou't have it, you are a fool." Pretty strong language for an emin?nt divine, yet it can hardiv be said to be more than an end)?senient of St. Paul in recom mending a little wine for the stomach's sake, and who will dare gainsry the wisdom of the recommendation? A hill has teen presented ri the Pennsylvania Legislature entitled "An act lor tbe encouragement of forest culture," and providing penalties for the injury and destruction of forests, The measure Is of more importance than most people will attribute to it. This rountry Is already reaping some of the l'l effects of forest destruction in sudden climatic changes, heavy stoims and long dry spells. The destruction or our woodlands still goes oa, and unless some of our land, already denuded and almost valueless, is reclothed with a forest growth we will soon have vast areas similar to that of Spain, barren and uninviting. The loss of timber for biii'ding and other purposes is another disadvantaga that will be fell, not only by present but alsj by future generations ere they have all stepped off the stage of action. "While it is none too early, it may not still be tho late to reclaim the country by forest culture. The adoption of the Prohibitory Amendment resolution is only the first step toward the more serious issue of having the question of Prohibition set tled by the people. The Republican bosses and strategists have been not a little puzzled how to sail successfully between Scylla and Charybdis. Had it not been for the outside pressure from Prohibition quarter?, the Republican platform would never have contained ita half-way Prohibition plack. but being there its mandates must be obeyed. There was no open gateway out of which they c.iuld retieat gracefully or unseen, for tho dark lanterns of the Prohibition ists were turned full upon them, and now to favor or not to favor Prohibition is the question that stirs up their souls. If they favor the adoptiou of the amendment by the people they will alienate a large and politically influen tial class of voters, and if they should oppose it they w 1(1 effend a large class of Prohibitionists whom thf y have cultiva- ted so apsiduonsly. That the said p'ank was irssprted for the s.ke of eatr-hinir otf8. tliat the bill conformmtr t!t.ieto was jtfd for ILe appearance of good faith, and tliat now the great majority of these legislators are really opposed t- rrohibitiou. are plausible assertions I I hi i i r i r 1 1 ti inn rtvr. . n, A . , u a m . . .

A tastf.H L bronze attue is about to grace P.oston harbor, commemorative of Iif F.ricfon,. the representative Norse man. The Norsemen have an interest ing history intimately connected with the early discovery of our country, and as a matter of history alone, the erection of the statue would be commendable. Coupled with this, however, is the legend that Norsemen visited the shores of Masach uset ts 500 years before Co! umbus sailed across the Atlantic. Eiicson sailed, it is said, from Greenland in 100-2 and after discovering Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, cruised along the New Kr.gland coast to Vineyard Sound, so that in memory of this event and the pietuiesque Norse explorers, it is fitting in this day of statues and monuments that this h-trdy people be remembered. Thk great coal handleist strike has been a hatd blow on labor throughout. TlieSTike ws needless and in opposi tion to the principles of the Knights of Labor, although that order will have to stand mnch of the blame attached to the movement. Ttie difficulty with large numbers of the laboring class is that they are moved to act on the impulse of the moment. An inkling ho of success ruliy bringing their employers to time by concerted action, and they at once strike. Every time a strike is iuaugura. ted, the strikers claim that they have some special advantage over the partici pants of previous strikes, but despite all their special advantages the strikes result the same. The special advantages are delusions. and if the employed of i every craft would stop and look at the subject in its every pha.se, they would not stuke. Thk Standard Oil Company lias been receiving some heavy blows from the citizeus of the oil country. By them it is characterized the worst monopoly that ever blighted the face of the earth. A reduction of ten cents per barrel is now demanded for the piping of the oil, and a comparatively equal reduction for storage and waste. The Ii:lliDgsIey bill npon which the Legislature will be asked to vote, aims to right some of the wrongs this rich corporation has been imposing upon the people. In opposition ll the bill the minions of the pipe line are expected to seek every possible opportu nity to use boodle, and if persons can be found in the Legislature willing to sell their manhocd, they can with safety demand fabulous sums for their votes j and influence. Senators and Kepreser- I tatives who vote for the continuance of his gigantic monopoly, will have to J present very lucid" arguments lo their ( constituents in support of their conduct to clear themselves of suspicion. ! The abuse of the pre-emption, forest and desert land laws has led to a meas ure in Congress for repealing this entire legislation except the homestead laws. The bill has passed the House, but still lodges in the millionaire Senate, like many other measures demanded by the public interest. The original design of these laws was to save the land on our great plains for actual jettlers. but they have been converted by cattle kings, railroad coinpinies and other corpora tions, including the Standard Oil monop oly, into means of grabbing some of the fairest portions of the public domain. The people of the West who have been witnesses and victims of the methods by which these laws have been debased have heen urgent in presiing this repe al. It is to be regretted that this legislation intended to aid those seeking homes should so 9ignally fail of its purpose. It argues strongly for more stringent means than we have yet been able to muster to circurr cr'be the growth of corporate power. Monopoly is a hydra-feeaded monster, and when crushed !n only one whv or place, is apt to rise up more defi antly than ever in some other quarter. The recent little flurrv betweeu the United S:ates and Canada has aroused aa interest io some quarters upon the subject of annexation. It is a generally accepted theory that if any serious trouble were to arise between England and ourselves, out of the fisheries dis- pute, the ultimate outcome would be i our triumph and the accession of Canada to our wide natioual domain. Canada ' ehoulu naturally belong to the United States, and the possession would be more valuable than is generally sup posed. It would savor of the impolitic for the United States to manifest ludif ference to a freer and more exteusive trade with four and a half millions of a kindred race. It is estimated that the exports and imports between the United States and Canada would constitute an international trade of f 100.000,000. The extent and resources of that new north western empire acquired from the Hud son's By Company are almost illimita ble. The huntera, speculators and explorers who hive visited the region are enraptured with its vastuess, rich ness of soil, wonderful natural arteries of communication, numerous coal beds, healthy climate and favorable seasons for agriculture. Its extraordinary fer tility has caused Americans as well as British and Canadian visitors to style it "the Tuture granary of the world." The total area of the Dominion is 3,3tK),00u square miles, while the totbl area of the United S;ates is only a little over 3,600,- ; square miles. Quebec and Ontario possess Urge area of pood land, prom- - ui iiiuuer , i"fr newer uack regions, which will afford proGtabie employment to vast i amounts of capital add labor, Objections!

Seii-ttor Cooper ha. bt-en frrsjune time preparing an Auti Disci imination bill, which will be recommended by ihe cau cus committee, of which Mr. Katan is chairman. The He-publican platform pledged the party to adopt the Cullom bill, and the under Handing was that the bit! was to be merely an d4piatioa of the t'ullnui bill tiom Intel sthie to utate tiaPJj by verbal changes. Instead of lnni y adhering to that plii). Cooper lio declares trial the pledge of the Re publican Couventlou applied only to Ireignt and did Dot cover passenger bus Uie.-s. Th Culluin bill has accordingly been m Klified to apply ouiv to freight, though Chairman Cooper, During the fall campaign, sent out oX circulars claiming that the Republican parly was pledged to do everything which that biil aimed to do. The Culiom bill covered both passengers and freight. A number of legislators are now charging that ihis is a case of taise pretense, and that the parly ought to keep the pledges which Governor Beaver made in good faith. Chairman Cooper is expecting lo ho;d the parly lash over legislators Oecause the Couvemion of the Republican par.y made a pledge to the people, but Cot. per has himself departed from the pledge by making other changes in the bill beaides those which were necessary lo, the adaptation of a bill regulating inter state 1 1 attic to the regulation of siaies tiatlic. He has gone so tar as to give shippers the option either jf making comp:aint to the Commission, or of bruigiug suit in the courts, as the Inttr-S.aie Com merce bill provides. Since Chairman Cooper has taken ihe Utterly of consi.ru ing the pledge of ihe Kepuoiicau Con vention io suit his ideas, or rather the ides of the rai read attorneys who it al ly drained the bill, other Kcpuoncan members of the Legislature claim the right to exercise the same discretion, and whue they admit, thai th K puoli cau Convention, which discussed the question of rmlioad regulation lor oiry five minutes, had the power and iignt lo bind every member of the paity to a pledge for a ploi.r aud effective aJjust UJe.nl of the railroad question, it had no right to prescribe the details by which such au adjustment might be biougut about. This issue will be the priucpal one ou which the Ilepubiicau caucus will divide, and it is not improbable thai a beriuus break may occur on tins puim. Another Haby Cry. The York Gazette gives a Pao.tio cous . idea of paternal government. The prune is a dried fruit brought to us from the shores of the Mediterraueau Sea. eanecially from Iiaiv.

If it will not pay to raise piunes here, why should the people at large be. lax.d to make it pay ? The business of raisi; g gram does not pay as every eas.i iu farmer knows.

O. i nis mnubt r 29,004,604 weie exported, 1,.j00,U00 were probably taken abroad by Chinese return ing to their homes, and .".00,000 were remelted at the United S ales mint. As 2,074,812 are repotted by ihe custom houses to have been brought back into the United Slates, it is estimated by the Director of the mint that the number at present In this country is about 7,020, 732. The Philadelphia Record is of the opinion that the bill introduced in the Legislature providing for uniformity in V the school-books used in the nuhlie. schojis ought to be looked upon with great suspicion. There may be a big job nestled in the bowels of it. What need is there that books shonld be uni form any more than that children should be of uniform intelligence, or teachers of uniform cupacity V The further the 8cboo!9 are away from & machine-like evenness of management, the better. Let the books alone. The best books will make their way in the race for favor against the worst in a fair field. If uniformity should be enforced, the poor est books might be pitched upon by interested parties, and the cost of a change would keep them in use. It is better aa it is. The simple-minded colored people of of the country are unable to follow the tortuous reasoning by which the Repub lican Senators undertake to defend their rejection of an intelligent black man for an office which he was entirely comias tenf to fill. J. Milton Turner, ex-Minister to Liberia, regards the rejection of Mat thews because be waa a colored man and But Senator Ingaila saya the Rebublicaii jemocrar as an insult t the rare. Senators rejected Matthews because Pres ident Cleveland nominated him a second lime after he had been once rejected. It is not strange that the negro mind iu its simplicity is incapable of compre hending that. If Mr. Matthews were rejected a second time because he was nominated a second time, why was he rejected the first t.me? The final argument of the advocates of extraordinary expenditures for sea coas.t defences is the money will be spent in some ofoer way if not in thie. "Now is the time to vote tae money," says one of them, -when there is a surplus in the Treasury, and before that surplus is dis burses 5n nep-on jobs, oi frittered away iu ure unu mm stream improvements or wasted in granite custom Louses and post oflicesy Is this the only alternative? Must the surplus bespeni io some way? This seems to be the idea of the au; potters of wariaxts in time or peace. The pian Has our fcrJafesuaauftnp become so im p tmt or so rBckies.ias tnis ?

In speaking of Ihe political outlook the veteran ex S-na'or and pol itician said : 'I consider that the Democrats will have a reasonab'v sure thing of it in New York, and I know that, we will in Connecticut! The last election disposed of all doubts on that score. We elected thiee Democratic members of Conerss, which is a fail t;est of strength. The law of ih State nquires a mj rity to elect n Governor, but a plurality can give us thf. electoral ticket. We can i?et that. S you can put Connecticut down for the Democratic nominee for Presi dent. We should have had t tie Legisla ture, and I expected that we should capture u. but the Republicans had the machinery." "What do you think of the campaign of uss y" 'It will he a fair test nf public senti ment on good government under Demo cratic nuspiees. It must be admitted that, Mr. Cleveland has made a good Piesident for the country and for the Demociatic party. 11 has had the courage to do what he considered right, without reference to the clamor of a few people who represent political methods and popular intelligence of thirty vears aeo. and therefore are behind the ace. The Democratic parry is stronger to day before ine people lhan it was in 1884. Undr President C'eveland it has been res'ored to public confidence and under his leadership it wid not inly have evry prospect of winning again, but in a sec ond Slice ss it. mav le runt-d hs safe'v established in authority until its own folly biingsit into disrepute. Sicacious statesmanship will moor the piny on safe ground, and there she should stay for many years." The ex-Senator laughed at the talk of 'he nomination of Bain beini? conse quent up n the renomination of Cleve land. "Only let the Republicans try it. That will suit us. The recent S -natorial fight in New York has intreased thedis !vnsions in inir opponents' ranks fonr f d. Ai d I am certain tha' li aine cannot cai ry Connecticut. New J-rsev or Indiana.

Let us not degrade the crippled veterans, wonnded in battling bravely for their country, by placing above them on the roll of honor "recipi ents of out door relief." The President's veto was the sturdiest right act that he has performed since his Induction into office. He is sustained by the press and by public opinion. He should be sustained by Congress. X. r. World. The Pension Veto. The President's veto of the dependent pension bill sets forth the grounds ou which it is based very clearly, and can be read and judged on its own merits. It seems to indicate a decided tendency to call a halt on the lavish expenditure in that direction to which this Congress is disposed. Public opinion will certainly be that it is time to check the matter somewhere. Liberal pensions for men who suffer disability as the result of their services to the country, will be objected to by no decent citizen. But the idea that vast J sum of money are, a generation after ' the war, to be constantly drawn from ! the public Treasury for the benefit of j those soldiers who came out of ! I hat war without barm and able to earn I their own living, is a departure from the previous pension policy to which the na tion is not likely to assent. This is not what, the soldiers them selves served for. They did not preserve the country to make their services a burden to it for the next generation. Tney do not ask such benefits now. The last oieetirg of the Grand Army of the Republic declared that if the nation had made an error in the matter of pensions "it has been on the side of lavish liber ality. With this declaration from the great organization ot veterans, the people at large nrid find no lack of patriotism or appreciation of the defenders of the nation, in the declaration that the policy of 8eeaing new ways of expending the public money on pens ons must stop. in ibis light the President's veto ia i likely to arouse general commendation. liut it is to wished that he had drawn Me line at the Mexican pension bill.

One was thatof a female, and from the skull depended a heavy growth of light blonde hair, eighteen inches in lenth, and as fresh and healthy looking as if It were growing on a living head. In the interior of one of the skulls were two copper cents one heating the date of 1813, and the other of the issue of laao. It is probahle they had been used to close the eyes i f the person when he died and In time had f tllen through the eye cavities into the skull. For three months the reidei is of an I aristocratic part of Cleveland, ()., have been i annojed by a burglar. Women refused to remain at their homes after night, and strong men armed themselves with self acting pistols. On Saturday night the police arrested Sidney Walsh, twenty-three years old, and his wife. They live in a fashionable street, and next door to a house that Walsh had burglarized . Scattered about Walsh's home the police found 12,500 worth of Pic tures, furniture, jewelry and brie a-bra: that be bad stolen. He was married last November, and the wedding ring he gave his wife was stolen: The wife was also sent to jail to keep him company. She is a comely young woman and has respectaole relatives.
