appear as actresses, but only in mas

Bradstreets Journal has compiled
from reports made the same day all

the present time. By the tables it
appears that the visible supply OF
wheat, July /, in the United States
east of the Rocky mountains and in
Canada was 48,196,667 bushels; Of
corn, 6,794,922; OF oats, 3,G72,OSO;
OF barley, 164, 794; and of rye, $780,
lGO. In Minnesota, Dakota, and
Wisconsin, with certain exceptions,
there were l5.245,oGs bushels OF
wheat. This total isexceeded only by
that of fifteen important central and
Western points, including Chicago.
''The visible supply OF wheat" says
the article under review, "has-ac-
cording to the current weekly reports

Liverpool via Cnpe Horn is S14, OF
which the Oregon Railway & Naviga-
ton Company takes SO rs its share.
The average cost Of shipment from
Duluth to Liverpool via Montreal is
$500; this added to the Northern Pa

charge OF $l3.61 per ton from the

From q report made to the British
Government by it's Consul General at
Frankfort, it appears that all over
Germany the consumption OF ardent
spirits is rapidly increasing, especially
among the working classes. In Prus-
sia, for instance, between 1860 and
1880 the number OF public houses in
creased at the rate of 3S per cent,
while the population only increased at
the rate of ID percent. Theconsump-
ton Of spirits rose from 8.6 litres per
head between 1870 and 1874 to 90
litres per head in 1851.

No PLACE for AristOcracy.

From the Cincinnati Commercial:
America Ans is q land Of equality: It
has no interiors: The aristocracies' of
the world have come from ffeudal times,
and are aristocracies of birth. There:
fore the popular reverence for birth
still remains in a degree. The strong
est imitation OF an aristocracy was
that Of the slave-holding class, which
ruled oYr Democracy. But there is
now no element to make an arist9:
cracy Of, and nothingthat it could Do,
save to GO into a she'll. An exclusive
class, whether Of wealth or EDUCATION,
could not exercise any Influence in
political affairs: Exclusiveness by
wealth or BY education would be no
approach toward any quality, infu-
ence or duty Of an aristocracy.

It is estimated that the aggregate
fire waste OF the country during June
is SG,73O,OOO, which is $23O,OO0
more than the average normal loss in
June for ten years past. There were
thirteen fires whose reported aggregate
loss was more than one-fourth OF the
entire loss of the month. The total
loss for the first six months OF the
year is $50, 100000. 1t will be curious
to notice the decrease in fire losses

The count of Appeals of New York
having PRONOUNCED the oleomargarine
law unconstitutional, and the fact that
the Minnesota law is identical with
the New York law, in it's n,ali2 pro-
vision, it becomes interesting to kn6w
exactly what the law is in both states.
The section of the statute considered
by the court reads as follows: "NO
person shall manufacture out OF any
oleaginous substances, or any COM
pound of the same, other than that
produced from unadulterated milk or
cream of the same, or shall sell or offer
to sell the same as an article of food
This provision shall not apply to pure
skim milk cheese produced from pure
skim milk" The Minnesota law cor
responds, word for work with the
above. The counsel for the State in
argument frankly argued that "if the
sole object of the statute were to pro-
tcct the dairy industry of the State
against the substitution of a cheaper
article, made from cheaper materials,
this would not he beyond the power of
the Legislature" This, says the
Court, "is the real question presented
in the case," and itgoes into the sub
ject OF the limits imposed upon the
legislative power of the States by the
Constitution OF the United States,
and the Constitution of the State OF
New York. "No proposition" says
the Court of Appeals, Ills now more
firmly established than that it is 6pe
of the fundamental rights and privil.
eyes of every American citizen to adopt
and follow such lawful industrial Dur.

as he may see it," And then it asks:
"Who will have the temefity to say
that this constitutional principle, As
others, is not violated by an enact
ment which absolutely prohibits an
Important branch of industry for the
sole reason that itcompetes with an,
other, and may reduce the price of an
