The democratic territories of Arizona and Xew Mexico will not be admitted to statehood yet awhile. The free trader keeps on shouting that the tariff is a tax, and the advertisements in every paper in the United States keep on showing that he is either the greatest fool or the greatest knave that ever lived. A conn corn crop means a big re publican majority this fall, and the corn is lookinr as well as it did this time last year, consequently the democrats are down in the mouth, as they cannot win unless there is a bijr croi failure. the illegality oftrusts. The courts of every state in the I'nion, when the question of the lawfulness of such combinations has been presented and this has been many times have declared them to be illegal, besides being1 against public policy. Trusts are unlawful, because, through the sur render, b3" many differing and dis tinct corporations and by the indi viduals composing them, of the power to manage and control them selves, and by delivering over their corporate powers to some other person, as well as by engaging through the trust in many kinds of business not authorized by their respective charters, they have done prohibited things. The corporation so doing forfeits its right to exist to the people who bestowed it, and the trust existing solely through these violations of law is itself null. The principles underlying these deci sions of the courts are recognized by the fundamental law of nearly all the states, and most notably have they been enforced by the judiciary of the state of New York in the "sugar trust" cases, where by three tribunals, through three successive and deliberate opinions, the law has been announced with strength of reasoning fortified by precedent and a courage and clear ness worthy of the best days of A nglo-Saxon freedom. Roger Sher man, in the July Forum. WHO ARE THE FREE TRADERS? Hut who are our free traders? They are not found much among our industrial classes, certain!- not among our workingmen and pro ducers. They are composed of pro- slavery theorists, who can never forget what they learned before the war; uoctrinaires ana dreamers, who have a supreme contempt for facts and practical results; foreign importers, who can see nothing be yond their own personal gains; newspapers which are the subsi dized attorneys of foreign manu facturers and merchants; the Cob den club, representing British inte rests and caring nothing for the welfare of our people or the honor and glory of our country, and the pro-Uritish democracy. The toilers and producers of our land, they whose intelligent labor makes the wealth and greatness pf our country and the prosperity of our people, are not among them. 1 There is one other fact in connec tion with thj3 subject of too much significance to be overlooked. It is that the drift of population is from free trade countries to protective America. "All roadstead to Rome" was once a saying. All pathways across the nea, in which are found people traveling to a land where they hope to better their condition, lead to our own favored country. They are all coming this way, too. None are returning. It has been trulj' said that the gates of Castle Garden ' swing ........

Cool Work by a Uurglar. laltc about cool headed burglars. Ont of the gentry who visited the residence of Mr. William rlannin outrivals the daring audacity of Jim Barlow or Claude Duval. lie entered the house while the in mates were sound asleep, and with the ad of a match proceeded to investigate. It appears that he would hold a lighted match until it burned his fingers, and then throwing the still burning remains on the floor light another. On returning to a room he had quitted a few moments before he saw that the place was on fire. He ran from the house, and meeting a police officer cool ly informed him that "a house back there" was on fire. He hurried to the place with the officer. The fire was now burning brightly. In his haste the officei failed to notice that though the reai door was open none of the family was to be seen. They secured pails, the burglar doinar the pumping act, but the apparatus failed to respond. A large boiler of water, intended for the next day's washing, stood convenient, and be tween them they carried the boiler of water into the house, where the flames were , soon extinguished. It was when the officer looked around for his gentle manly associate that he discovered that he was alone. The family was aroused. and then it was found that the houst had been ransacked, but little of any value taken. Toledo 13ee. Ancient Babylonian Records. Probably the oldest known specimens of recorded language in the world today are the inscriptions on the door sockets and brick stamps found at NifFer by the Babylonian Exploration expedition of the University of Pennsylvania, which has recently returned. The brick stamps, which are of yellow clay, about four by five inches, and an inch in thickness, bear the name and titles of King Sargon and Ins son Isarini Sin, who lived about 3S00 B. C, and they were taken from the mound which covers the sight of ancient .Nippuru, with its famous tern pie of Baat. The expedition also found many other objects of interest, such as clay tablets containing contracts, lists of goods, temple incomes, art fragments and images sold by the temple fakirs. These throw much light on the history of the people, as opposed to that of the kings, and the work of the expedition carries Babylonian records back a thou sand years to a time of which practical ly nothing has hitherto been known. The antiquities found are now in the uni versify museum. Pliiladelphia Ledger. Metric System in Pharmacy. In the new pharmacopoeia now in course of preparation the metric weights and measures will be adopted through out, to the entire exclusion of the Eng lish weights and measures hitherto used. It is considered by many that this is but the thin edge of the wedge, and that sooner or later the metric weights and measures will be adopted for all pur poses in the United States. In all the states of South America this system and none other is in use, and there is a growing feeling that an inter national system of weights and measures will do much to simplify and develop the commercial intercourse of the na tions in question as well as those who have adopted the metric system in Eu rope. Cor. London News. Insane from Drinking Coffee. Peter McKeever, a restaurant keeper, is in the detention hospital on complaint of his wife and a friend, George "W. Conch. At the hospital a straight jacket is necessary to prevent McKeever from tearing off his clothes and doing injury to himself. McKeever is an American, forty-five years old. "For the last two or three years," his wife said, "he has taken scarcely any solid food, but has subsisted almost entirely upon coffee. Although we tried to persuade him to change his method of living and abstain from cof fee, for we saw that it was impairing his mind, we were msuccessful." Chi cago Times. The Queen Gives Away a Goat. The queen has presented the Second V. B. Royal Welsh fusiliers with a white goat. Colonel Danscook, in com municating the information to the battal ion in an order, says he feels assured that "this most gracious act on the part of her majesty will tend to strengthen the feeling of loyalty and attachment to the throne which exists among all classes of Welshmen." Can any one ex plain why in so many instances a goat is chosen to be the "pet of the regiment ?" Pall Mall Gazette. Exhanst Pipes for Oil Tanks. Judging from the reports from the oil regions, few of the tanks have pipes at the bottom of the great receptacles so arranged that the oil can be drained out of a burning tank from below, thus reducing the loss from fire to a mini mum. The great fires at the Point Breeze refineries brought about that re form in our local oil works, and it has proved of great service ever since it was put in operation. Philadelphia Press.
