The salmon trust is the latest combination or conspiracy to divert unfair profits from the pockets of the consumer to the safety deposit vaults of capitalists. The new organization will control the entire output of the Columbia river canneries. -The output will be limited to 465,000 cans annually and prices will be advanced. Vice-President Stevenson has received the degree of L. L. D. from the college at Danville. ’Ey., of which he is a graduate. It is said that this honor will be of benefit to Mr. Stevenson in the discharge of his duties as presiding officer of the Senate, but it is difficult to sec how so common a title can be of any especial benefit to any man, however gratifying it may be to his vanity. Oh, where are we at, with Grover so fat, and Adlai a doctor of laws, with silver so plenty and money so scanty that traffic has come to a pause? With banks without cash and things going to smash, and wheat that is cheaper than corn, men are prone to be rash and drink sour mash and wish they had never been born. But the clouds will soon clear and the mist disappear from the view that seems doubtful and dim, and sD>n with a roar tide will turn to the shore, so hasten to ‘‘get in the swim."

“Necessity is the mother of invention” is an old adage that has seldom had so peculiar an illustration as the very novel method of changing bank bills that has long been in vogue in Bolivia. Years ago when bank notes were first issued fractional currency was scarce and it became a recognized custom to tear up the larger notes in order to make change. To such an extent has this practice been carried tha t a perfect bank note of any denomination is a rarity in that country. A decree, however, has been issued that after June 30, of this year, mutilated notes will not be redeemed. Holders of notes were warned by legal advertisement to present their old and mutilated bills for redemption before that date, failing in which they must stand the loss. A dairyman near New York was for a long time annoyed by his cows returning from pasture at night with full stomachs and empty udders. Strong suspicions were aroused that certain families in the neighborhood were fattening at the dairyman’s expense, but careful watching failed to detect the offender. Matters became desperate. The profits of the dairy went glimmering into the unknown like deposits in a Dwiggins bank. Standing recently in a despondent mood by the side of a mill race that ran through the farm, the dairyman saw his favorite cow enter the water Until it touched her body. After cooling off the animal emerged from the stream with a fifteen-pound carp hanging to her ~ udder. The fish had absorbed every drop of milk. The mystery was explained.

The delightful Frenchmen are still quarreling about the Panama scandal. Longwinded debates occupy the time of the Deputies, and members arise and frantically demand that the Chamber vindicate their injured honor. Mock duels are of frequent occurrence. M. Clemencau is ready to fight all comers and guarantee the personal safety of the combatants and spectators. Dr. Herz continues too sick to be extradited and certificates to that effect have been made by his physicians in London. In the meantime the promincnt men who were con vic ted and sentenced to imprisonment “ have been released on technicalities practically without prejudice. So the great farce goes on and no man ean safely predict the end. The French are very “funny.” A determined and organized effort has been inaugurated in England to protect and promote the rural simplicity of nature’s works, in country—and architectural works of note in town —on rivers or mountains, where the same have been, or are threatened with, the vandal desecra-. tions of enterprising, advertisers. The patent medicine advertiser has become a pest in that country, and even in Ireland the lakes ides, and the cliffs and glens of Scotland and Wales, are disfigured with horrible daubs and prints setting forth the virtues of medicines, corn plasters apd corsets. Some of the most famousarid beautiful scenery in the world is thus disfigured, and it has unsightly evidences of the ill-advised i. ' ■ «

enterprise of the men whose ideas are so far beneath a correct ’ conception of what is proper and fitting that they would paste a handbill on the dome of St. Paul’s or place a floating signboard in famed Loch Lomond. An Indianapolis Shylock who does business under the pseudonym of Chas. G. Ludwig, was sentenced to thirty days imprisonment and fined SSO for his share in an outrageous transaction beside which highway robbery is chivalrous and respectable. A lady borrowed $lO from this philanthropist (?)' giving a chattel mortgage as security. After paying S3O in interest, Ludwig demanded ,2*2 more in order to square the account, sending her a threatening letter to enforce payment. The lady caused his arrest for sending the threatening letter, not having any legal recourse for her financial injurthe shark’s victims having in the past submitted quietly, that he was overcome and begged for mercy. The court remitted the jail sentence. A London cablegram to the New York World brings the depressing intelligence that the ’‘Blarney stone" now on exhibition at Chicago is a ‘•fake.” The English are actually laughing at bur simplicity. No one believed the American people could be so easily fooled. Our consul at Queenstown made a journey to Blarney’ Castle for the express purpose of satisfying himself, and found the old stone in the exact spot where it has reposed for centuries. This is serious and perhaps sad, and will have a. tendency to cast discredit on all foreign exhibits. They will be telling us next that the Duke of Veragua and the Princess Eulalie were “bogus.’’ Relics, and specimens of the nobility, are worse than useless if not genuine, and the substitution of imitation articles, unless it is so stated and understood, is an insult to the popular intelligence. “Honesty is the best policy.” in this as in other matters.

There is something wrong in a system of jurisprudence that permits the arrest of a man on a charge of murder on the most flimsy evidence and holds him a prisoner for weeks without trial and then tells him to go, as there is no evidence against him. The law grants a man no remedy for such an outrage, or at least if there is it is so difficult to get at that a poor man is practically without recourse. Samuel Guinn, temporarily a visitor a 4 Haughville, was arrested and incarcerated in the Marion county jail for the alleged murder oFJohn Tarpey. Notwithstanding his protestations of innocence and a demand for trial he was kept locked up for two weeks, and was then kindly permitted to go, the theory of the police having been knocked out by the voluntary evidence of a woman implicating a burglar in the Indianapolis city hospital, who Subsequently made a full confession. Officers who allow themselves to commit such outrages should be rigorously dealt with, and their victims should have some recourse for the indignities which they may suffer from the over zealous efforts of amateur detectives.

PEOPLE.

Riley will bring out some poems in the fall with the title of “Poems at Home." The town council of Gueda Springs, Kan., is composed entirely of married women, and the Mayor is also a woman. Thomas Nelson Page and bride will make their winter home in Washington, but will ehoo+e a place equally convenient to Washington and Richmond for their permanent abiding place. The Emperor of Russia has very unexpectedly announced his intention of sending the czarewitch to represent the imperial family at the English Royal wedding, having probably been induced to do so by nearing that. Prince Henry of Prussia was to attend on the part of Emperor William. Luke Smith, of A< to i, Mass., who took a prominent pari in the recent Bunker Hill celebration in Boston, is said to be the only man living whose father fought at Bunker Hilu Mr. Smith, over eighty years old, was also one of the first to volunteer in 1861. Quauah Parker, the old chief of the Comanches, brought his newest squaw into Vernon, Texas, the other day to have her photograph taken. .The redoubtable chief has become highly eivilized. though in a Mormon way, since he buried the tomahawk. He has seven wives, lives in a fine house, drives a horse and carriage and eats the best food the market provides. He is a tall and bony but not unhandsome man.

A HEAVENLY PASSWORD

“The Lord Is My Light and My Salvation.” The Beauties of the Twili«l.t and the Night—Dr. Tai mages Sermon. Dr. Talmage’s sermon at Brooklyn, last Sunday, was from the text, “At Evening Time It Shall .Be Light,”. Zachariah xiv, 7. He said: While “night” in all languages is the symbol for gloom and suffering, it is often really cheerful, bright and impressive. Ispeak not of such nights.as come down with no star pouring light from above or silvered wave tossing up 1 i ght from beneath —murky, po”t?? +; .?us—but such as you ofwhen the po.up and magnificence of heaven turn out -on night pnrado-and it seems as though the song which the stars began £o long ago were-chiming yet among the constellations and the sons of God were shouting for joy. Such nights the sailor blesses from the forecastle and the trapper on the vast prairie, and the belated traveler by the roadside, and the soldier from the tent, earthly hosts gazing upon heavenly, and shepherds guard ing their fields afresh, while angel hands above them set the silver bells a-ringing, “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace: good will toward men.” What a solemn and serious thing ■is night in the wilderness! Night among the mountains! Night on the ocean! Fragrant night among tropical groves! Flashing night amid arctic severities! Calm night on Roman campagna! Awful night among the Cordilleras! Glorious night ’mid sea after a tempest! Thank God for the night! The moon and the stars which rule it are lighthouses of the coast toward which, 1 hope, we are all sailing, and blind mariners are we if, with so many beaming, burn ing, flaming glories to guide us, we cannot find our way into the harbor. My text may well suggest that as the natural evening is often luminous, so it shall be light in the evening of our sorrows —of old age—of the world’s history—of the Christian life. “At the even time it shall be light.” The prophecy will be fulfilled in the evening of Christian sorrow. For a long time it is broad daylight. The sun rides high. Innumerable activities go ahead with a thousand feet and work with a thousand arms, and the pickax struck a mine, and the battery made a discovery, and the investment yielded its twenty per cent., and the book came to its twentieth edition, and the farm quadrup’ed in value, and sudden fortune hoisted to high position, and children were praised, and friends without number swarmed into the family hive, and prosperity sang in the music and'stepped in the dance and glowed in the wine and ate at the banquet, and all the gods of music and ease and gratification gathered around this Jupiter holding in his hands so many thunderbolts of power. But everv sun must set, and the

brightest day must have its twilight. Suddenly the sky was overcast. The fountain dried up. The song hushed. The wolf broke into the family fold and carried off the best lamb. A deep howl of woe came crashing down through the joyous symphonies. At one rough twang of the hand of’ disaster the harp strings all broke. Down went the strong business firm! Away went long established credit! Up flew a flock of calumnies! The book not sell. A patent could not be secured for the indention. Stocks sank like The insurance company was The text shall also find fulfillment in the time of old age. It is a grand thing to be young —to have the sight clear and the hearing acute, and the step elastic, and all our pulses marching on to the drumming of a stoat heart. Midlife and old age will be denied many of us, but youth -we all know what that is. Those wrinkles were not always on your brow; that snow was not always on your head; the brawny muscle did not always bunch your arm; you have not always worn spectacles. Grave and dignified as you are now, vou once went coasting d<> wn she hillside or threw- off your hat for a race or sent the ball flying sky high. But youth will not always last. It stays only long enough to give us exuberant spirits and broad shoulders for burden carrying'and an arm with which to battle our—way through difficulties. Life’s path, if you follow it long enough, will come under frowning crag and across trembling causeway. Blessed old age, if you let it come naturally. The bright morning and hot noonday of life have passed with many. It is 4 o'clock! 5 o’clock! 6 o’clock! The shadows fall longer and thicker and faster. Seven o’clock! 8 o’clock! The sun has dipped below the horizon; the warmth has gone out of the air. Nine o’clock! 10 o’clock! The heavy dews are falling; the activities of life’s day are all hushed; it is time to go to bed. Eleven o’clock! 12 o’clock! The patriarch sleeps the blessed sleep, the copl sleep, the long sleep. Heaven's messengers of light have kindled bonfires of victory all over the heavens. At eventime it is light—light! My text shall also find fulfillment in the latter days of the church. Only a few missionaries, a few churches, a few good men. compared with the institution leprous and putrefied. You have watched the calmness

field. The heavens are glowing with an indescribable effulgence, as though the sun in departing had forgotten to shut the gate after it. All the beauty of cloud and leaf swims in the lake. For a star in the sky, a star in the water—heaven above and heaven beneath. Not a leaf rustling or a bee humming or a grasshopper chirping. Silence in the meadow, silence among the hills. Thus the bright and beautiful shall be the evening of the world. The heats of earthly conflict are cooled. The glory of heaven fills all the scene with love and joy and peace. At eventime it is lightlight! - Finally,, my text shall find fulfill-, ment at the end of the Christian life. You know a short winter’s day is, and how little work you can do. bTjw, my friends? life is a short winter’s day. The sun rises at 8 and sets at 4. The birth angel and death angel fly only a little way apart. Baptism and burial are near together. With one hand the mother rocks the cradle and with the other she touches the sirave. But I hurl away this darkness! ! cannot have you weep. Thanks be unto God who giveth us the victory, at eventime it should be light. I have seen many Christians die. I never saw any of them die in darkness. What if the billows of death do rise above. our girdle, who does not love to bathe? What though other lights do go out in the blast, what do we want of them when all the gates of glory swing open before us and from a myriad voices, a myriad harps, a myriad thrones, a myriad palaces, there dash upon us, “Hosanna!” A minister of Christ in Philadelphia, dying, said in his last moments, “I move into the light!’’ They did not go down doubting and fearing and shivering, but their battle cry rang through all the caverns of the sepulcher and was echoed back from all the thrones of heaven! “O death! where is thy sting? O grave! where is thy victory?’ Sing, my soul, of joys to come! Hungry men no more to hunger; thirsty ineirno more to thirst; weeping men no more to weep; dying men no more to die. Gather up all sweet words, all jubilant expresssions, all rapturous exclamations. Bring them to me, and I will pour them upon the stupendous theme of the soul’s disenthrallment! Oh, the joy of the spirit as it shall mount up toward the throne of God, shouting: “Free! Free!” Your eye has gazed upon the garniture of earth and heaven, but the eye hath not seen it. Your ear has caught harmonies uncounted and indescribable —caught them from the harp's trill and bird’s carol, and waterfall’s dash and ocean’s doxology, but the ear hath not beard it. There will be a password at the gate of heaven. A great multitude come up and knock at the gate. The gatekeeper says, “The Password.” They say, “We have no password. We were great on earth, and now come in heaven," A voice from within answers, “I never knew” you.’’ Another group come up to the gate of heaven and knock. The gatekeeper says, “The password.” They say: “We have no password. We did a great many noble things on earth. We endowed colleges and took care of the poor.” A voice from within says, “I never knew : you.” ■ ... ............ Another group come up to the gate of heaven and knock. The gatekeeper says, “The password. They answer. “We were wanderers, from God and deserved to die, but we heard the voice of Jesus.” “Aye, aye,” says the gatekeeper, “that is the password! Lift up your heads, ye everlasting gates and let these people in.” They go in and surround the throne, jubilant forever. Ah, do you wonder that the last hours of the Christian on earth are illuminated by thoughts of coming glory? Light in the evening. The medicines may be bitter. The pain may be sharp. The parting may be heartrending. Yet light in the evening. As all the stars of night sink their anchors of pearl in lake and river and sea, so the waves of Jordan will be illuminated with the down-flashing of the glory to come. The dying soul looks up at the constellations. “The Lord is my light and salvation. Whom shall I fear?” “The Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall lead them to living fountains of water, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.” -“—-———.-

INTOLERANT CANUCKS.

The ChrUttan Eadeavoren at Monteal Atoum HostiUtv. At Friday night’s session of the Y. P. S. C. E. at Montreal, an overflow meeting was held in the open air? A crowd of toughs that surrounded the square flung some stones at the speakers, and several Endea voters were struck about the head and shoulders with the missiles. The police made short work of them. This hostile demonstration is attributed to an attack on Catholics, made by a delegate from Bombay, the Rev. Sumanashae VJshnu Karmarthe. He said: “There is a remarkable correspondence between Roinisly worship and Hindoo worship'. Romanism is but a new label on the old bottles of paganism containing the jeadly yison . of—idolatry. Often the Hindoos Ask when seeing the Romish worship, ‘What is the difference between Christianity and Hindooism?’ In India wc have not only to contend with the hydra-headed monster of Idolatry, but also the Octopus of Romanism.” There was some applause at this juncture. La I’rcsse, a French newspaper, has an article which declares that Karmarthe's address was a deliberate insult to the French people, and that they regarded it as such. Saturday night the ropes of the big tent were cut, and other aets of a hoodlumistic nature developed. Police were active to keep the peace. The great majority of Endeavorer delegates condemn Kamarthe's speech, which caused the. trouble. " ;

SUPREME COURT VACANCY.

Death of Justice Blatchford at Newport, Rhode Island. Associate Justice Samuel Blatchford died at Newport, R. 1., Friday. Judge Blatchford was born in New York March 9, 1820; graduated at Columbia in 1837, and in 1842 was admitted to the bar. He was law partner with William H. Seward, n 1807 became United States district judge for southern New York, and in March, 1882, associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

London supports forty vegetarian restaurants m which cereals, fruits and vegetables are the only things sold. Miss May Yates, the Secretary of the London Vegetarian Society, is coming to America to convert us to that sort of nonsense. The Qpeen of the Belgians is reputed to be one of the best living performers on the harp. When recently her chief lady in waiting became a nun the Queen, as sponsor, presented the postulant at the altar and then played a solo on the harp, to the great delight of the sisters who thronged the convent.
