that haying been produced by the per
son in possession of it, or upon the pos
SCISSOR having rendered for it the full
equivalent to the one who did produce
it. This rule can have no exceptions
save those created by the unanimous
consent Of all members Of society.
XII.
SO long as members Of society shall
fulfill theirsp portion of the social contract
they have a right to demand Of society
that it provide to them the means neces-
sarv to provide for their subsistence. So
ciety is bound also to insure the means
of existence to those who are incapable
Of labor.
Absolute justice is the right of every
being. The law is the free and sol
emn expression of the public, will, and
it must be equal for all. Society ought
to favor with all its power the progress
of public reason, and place instruction
and recreation within the reach Of every
citizen. The people is the sovereign.
Government is its work and its property !;
the public flnctionaries are its agents
and officers and the people justly should
have the power when it pleases to revoke
its mandatories or recall its servants.
The law can forbid only what is hurtful
to the people and can prescribe only
what is useful. Everylaw which violates
or infringes the imprescriptible right of
man is void.

In every Just government the law
ought above all to defend public and in
dividual liberty against the authority Of
those that govern. Every institution
that does not suppose the, people good
and the magistrate corruptible, is vicious.
No part of the people can exercise the
power of the whole people; but the wish
it expresses ought to be respected as q
wish cea part Of the people which is to
,oncur in forming the general will.
Every act against the imprescriptible
rights of man by whomsoever exercised

within the forms it prescribes eyery
such act is arbitrary and void. The very.
respect due to law forbids submission to

Bad Weather UnfavOrably Affecting Trade

Dizziness the Characteristic.
INDIANAPOLIS, April g.
Unreasonable weather for a day OF two past has
checked trade in some branches somewhat; then
the weakness in the grain markets somewhat
demoralizes business generally; yet with warm,
genuine spring weather good trade may be ex
pected. Still in all markets there is little snap
and this gives chronic grumblers good working
basis. Dry goods men, hardware and leather
dealers report their April trade ahead of the
corresponding period 1883, notwithstanding the
unfavorable circumstances. The produce mar
kets are fairly active. Butter and poultry firm
at quotations, and groceries are having fair
trade. Sugars are offish The Boston Journal
says: For some time past we have been quot
ing the lowest price on record, but each week
the tendency has been downward, and the pres
ent quotation, from 3S to s IL cents per
pound for fair and good refining, is by far the
lowest we have ever had to report At this
time last year prices ranged from to Is and
in 1882 fair and good refining ranged from TIC
to GIG cents per pound
The production OF refined sugar is sufficiently
large not only to meet all our wants, but leaves
a considerable surplus for export The exports
from New York for March were: To Europe,
$685., 1879 pounds elsewhere, 1,O34, s02 pounds.

No Money, but Lets Of Fuz.

In the early days of Virginia City
there was run on the bank, but be-
fore the depositors had time to draw
out much the institution closed its
doors and announced a suspension. An
indignant crowd assembled, all arm.
ed and excited. and the proposition
of miner to run q tunel under the
bank and blow It up was eagerly
caught at. Shovels and picks we're
being used and gunpowder had been
sent for, when along came an indi-
vidual who observed:
Gentlemen, don't do II"
"Why?" asked score Of voices.
'sFor two reasons. First, this
building will make good poker room
and second, the president OF the
bank is inside. II you blow him up
We can't lynch him."
The crowd desisted, and at the
end of two hours their patience was
rewarded. They got hold OF the
president and had fun with him for
half an hour before he choked to
death. Val Street Nes0s.
