1t looks very much as though Gen. Miles
has got himself into hot water with the
Government. We believe, however, the
General will come out all right. It is
hardly possible that the authorities at
Washington would confne him to an iron.
clad course in his efforts to capture Geron-
imo and his band of cut-throats. Some
discretionary powers were undoubtedly
given to him. In the exercise of these pow
ers he may have disappointed some of the
red tape gentlemen in Washington. Gen.
Miles is yet to hear from.

Copper has followed the foreshadowings
oil our recent issues and II large sale of Lake
has been contaminated at New York at IL
cents. All the prominent Lake companies
joined in the sale, and all the large con
sumers at Waterbury, Pittsburg, Boston
and New York were among the purchasers.
The total reached about 10000, 900
pounds, and the deliveries will extend over
October and November. The sale seems to
meet with general satisfaction, although
the Lake companies confidently expect to
obtain II cents for the next lot. Outside
brands have appreciated at the same time,
so that Baltimore cannot be had for less
than 10 cents; Oxford, Anchor and other
brands, 1Oh to 10y cents. The London
market is still subject to serious depressing
influences, as is shown by the flood Of bear
reports being circulated there, and by the
fuctuation of Chill Bars, which ran up to
4 rs. 3d., and then fell off again to f4O
los, a recession for which there was no
good cause. The statistical position in
this country has never been better; the

Here is a curious item about news
papers which some one has compiled:
The number of pounds Of type used in
the newspapers of the United States is
put at $685. 7S. The newspapers in the
five states of New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois, and Iowa set half the num-
Der of ems set in the United States. A
pound of type averages about $40 ems,
and an average of $500 is left in the
cases. The average composition per
newspaper is "a, 147 ems for dailies, and
for weeklies 81, l97. The total amount
of type set for one issue of the daily
newspapers of the country would make
2,7S5 duodecimo volumes, and all the
papers in "A year would represent as much
type-work as would make 10, 900 volumes
equal to 'Appieton's Cyclopedia.' A
slip of the work would extend from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. Eight thousand
persons are employed" The summary
might be carried to a greater length with
advantage, though emitting the figures.
If only honest opinions were expressed
in all those newspapers men would not
be abused merely because they have
brain and are prominent; the circulation
of some would fall off, and thar of others
would gain; and some men and some
causes would go to the ground.-Cbicago
Tribune.
