Last year does not appear to have
been a profitable one for paper manu-
facturers, at least according to Bissel's
Review and Price List. 1t is more
over asserted that the paper mill
property is rapidly depreciating. But
1t is to be hoped that this is not the
case with all the eight hundred mills
now in operation, and which are valued
at $40, 900, 600 of capital invested, with
a production estimated at so. 900, =
O00 These mills give employment
nominally to 10000 people, whose
earnings are footed up at so, 600, 900
annually. This represents Il very large
Investment, and immense labor, ana it
would be unfortunate if it dill not con-
time productive of fair results, partic.
ularly as any stoppage of work is very
injurious tothe machinery 1t appears
that to leave paper mill without use
for one year would cause depreciation
of 10 per cent, since when it is not
continually repaired it decreases in
value in greater ratio perhaps than
ordinary mills. With the constant in
crease of the reading and writing
public it is to be expected that the
paper industry viii not long remain in
this unsatisfactory situation.

Bcer in Massachusetts.

The Supreme Judicial Court of Mas
sachusetts has decided that lager beer
is an unlawful beverage, and that It's
seizure by the state authorities is no
violation of the constitution Of the
United States. The case IN question
was that of the Boston Beer Company,
which was incorporated in 1899, with
the right 10 manufacture and sell malt
liquors. The company claimed that its
authorization long before the passage
of prohibitory laws, gave it exemption
from their provisions. The court, how
ever. held that corporations are no
more protected than individuals from
new legislation, and could not be made
to see that lager beer had any privileges
which did not belong to other decoc-
tons of malt This decision has been
awaited with interest for long time,
as the case first came before the courts
several years ago. The questions IN
volved are of legal importance.-tt"-

Schaltz had been one of committee to nyes
tigate such things, and nine enths of the mer-
chants accused of fraud had only made dis.
crepancies of from $50 to $50. Schultz said lie
could not see how the Secretary of the Treasury
always ruled in favor of the government in
seizure cases, and he thought the flowing of
moieties for the benefit of informers and non
producers and the flowing out of money to
custom house brokers, lawyers, and. experts
out to be stopped. He said high legal au-

their books. and be believed hereafter mer-

CONCORD, N. H., March 9.-The past week
has wrought no essential change in the politi-
cal aspect, both parties have lately been actively
at work. Considerable excitement has been
manifested in the selection of nominees for To-
cal offices and Representatives to the Legisla-
ture. 1t is generally thought that large vote
will be polled tomorrow, but this will in some
degree depend upon the state of the weather,
which at present promises to be fair. Both
parties still claim that they will elect the Gov

the possibility of no election by the people,
The Democrats express growing confidence in

David B. SoLle VS.. Samuel Winslow This is an
action between two farmers residing in Freeport to
recover damages for an alleged malicious prosecu-
ton wherein Winslow, as next friend of one Harri-
son Joy, minor sued Soule for labor performed by
the boy.
Soule alleges that he owed the boy only ST. which
Winslow well knew, but to crafty his malice sued
Soule for $50; that he Soule made a tender which
was finally adjudged good and sufficient; that he was
put togreat expense in procuring witnesses and for
counsel fees for which be has received no reimburse
ment, as the execution for costs he received was
against Joy, who was worthless; that WInslow know
ing this put him to all the expense he could. DANA

cuted through malice; he says the suit was left with
his attorney without his knowledge and that he was

boy, being minor he could not bring suit in his
own name.
