SENATOR EDMUNDs has sailed for Liver
pool, whence he goes to London to testify
before the Committee on Privileges OF the
House Of Lords, in civil action affecting
the title OF an old English peerage. The
case hinges upon the validity OF Il mar
riage contaminated in New York in 1772
and the Senator is t be examined upon the
colonial laws in force at that time. The
marriage took place in Trinity church, the
mother of all the Episcopal churches in
America. Mr.. Edmunds examination will
probably include %canonical law, a branch
OF the law upon which he has no equal in
the country. He is the recognized head of
the %expounders of canonicallawin the Epis-
coDalc}urch.

Vermont says the determination OF the
Blaine partisans to defeat Senator Ed
munds in the Legislature of 1886, has al
ready begun to take shape, and that it is
pretty generally understood that ex-Gov-
ernor Smith, President OF the Central Yer
mont Railway, Ex-Governor Proctor, ex-
Governor Stewart, Judge Powers OF the Su-
preme Court and the venerable Luke H.
Poland will be in the field. Senator Ed
munds will be retired to private life only
when the Vermont Legislature is controlled
by a Democratic majority. Vermont would
cut a very sorry figure in the Senate with
out Edmunds.

The American Cabinet Maker contains Il
few short remarks on death traps :" that
deserve to be copied over and over again in
every technical journal. '"There is not a
mill or shop in the United States, says our
contemporary, " but what contains some
death trap that needs boxing up. Steam
engines are bad enough, but they are harm
less compared with set screws projecting
from collars, belts from couplings or belts
running unprotected upon pulleys or near
passageways. The law orders these things
to be protected. They are safe enough: it is
the people that want protection, and the
machinery is free trade in this respect. 1t
is a pretty sure thing that if a man gets
killed in a factory the owner thereof has to
pay Tor ii, but it does not seem to make
owners any more careful to weed out and
cover up the danger holes in our shops and
factories" How many establishments are

A WASHINGTON dispatch brings the infor-
nation that Secretary Manning has re-
ceived a strong protest against the contin-
ued coinage of silver, containing the sigma
ture of almost every business man in the
State of South Carolina. This is a straw
for the silver men. 1t will show them that
the emissaries of the gold standard people
are at work. Who obtained these sigma
lures? Did the business men of South Car
Dina spontaneously rise against the West
and her great product? Not by any means.
The signatures could be obtained only by
persistent effort and at considerable cost
in railway fares and other expenses. Did
the business men OF South Carolina pay
these expenses? No one will believe that.
Who, then, did pay them? The an
swer is easily found. The movement is
directed by a syndicate of gold bugs in New
York, who are sending their agents all over
the country to create an unnatural senti-
ment against the silver dollar. These men
are not manufacturers; they are not pro-
ducers; they add nothing to our creative
capital or ourindustrial enterprises. They
are bOndllolders, spectators in stocks and
securities generally. They realize that the
characterization OF silver will advance the
price OF all securities. They nave no care
for the prosperity Of the country. The
well-being OF the people is nothing to them.
They are after the almighty dollar and are
willing to sacrifice everything and every
body in their efforts. They see SUI.
ficient profit ahead to induce
them to expend large sums in preliminary
work. They will have a powerful and an
influential lobby at work in Washington at
the opening OF the session. In the mean.
time the silver men are idle. They talk a
good deal, but fail to act. What they need
is organization and a treasury. They will
need both before the expiration OF the year
Will they meet the emergency or shall the
contest go by default?

The MINER is in receipt Of a pamphlet on
s'The Cry Of the Crofter," a work issued by
the Scottish Land League OF America. 1t is
a plain statement ofthe appalling suiferings
and restitution which now exist in the
Highlands Of Scotland. The pamphlet gives
the details OF the horrible condition OF the
people in the Crofters' own language. 1t is
clear that many OF them now are in actual
want OF the commonest necessaries OF life.
Those who gave evidence before the Royal
Commission, or who have otherwise been
identified with the Land Law Reform move
ment, are being evicted and need help to de-
fend themselves against SUE summary &C
ton. In a number Of cases they have been
sent to prison for alleged resistance to evic-
ton, and their families in consequence are
left destitute. Others having made them
selves obnoxious to their landlords by seek
ing redress of their grievances have been cast
forth even without notice, and, other land
lords refusing them shelter, they have no
means either to emigrate or to begin a new
mode of life. The unhappy and destitute
condition OF the Crofters and their manifest
wish to rise above their unfortunate sur
roundings have called out the sympathy
of the Scotsman in every section OF the
world. Subs criptions are being taken m
every land and are being sent to Scotland
for disbursement by a committee consist
ing OF Prof. John Stuart Blackie, Edin-
burgh; Duncan Cameron, proprietor Oban
Times; Rev. Donald McCallum, W%aternish,
Skye, and John MCPHERSON, Glendale, Skye.
The Treasurer for the fund for America is
Duncan Cameron, IA Quincy street,
Chicago, who will acknowledge all contribu-
lions in the Scotch-American Journal or
the Scotsman. The condition OF these poor
people seems to be more miserable than
that ofth tenants in Ireland n we haveno
doubt that the money contributed in their
cause will be honestly and faithfully and in
diligently applied.

GREECE comes along with it's political
troubles. The disturbances have occurred
in ancient Crete and the contestants have
cut the wires between that city and Athens,
so that definite news is lacking. They are
probably hurting Greek verbs at each other
and every Freshman who has reached
Sophocles' Grammar will agree that they
are "the hardest things in the world.
The greatness of Greece has vanished and a

THE New Orleans Exposition was IL dead

contribution of about one and a half
million dollars is IA total loss. The loca-
ton was a mistake, being away from the
ccntcrs OF population, and the apathy ofthe
people robbed it of the local patronage it
should have received. AS an exposition it
was a magnificent success, o%utrivalling any
thing ever before attempted in this coun-
