for sale should be a matter of government

contain about 81 per cent. of water, but in
practice the proportion very often reaches
and even exceeds 40 per cent. the bakers

marked that bread which is too moist is
prone to grow mouldy, and some years ago

This suggests the question whether there are

HENRY WARD BEEcHER who is a close

He thinks they are more democratic than

AMONG the serious questions that are
o occupying the attention OF the politi-
cal economists is whether the future will
build up as many colossal fortunes as the
near past, or whether the last fourth of a
century has been q phenomenal period in
that respect. That there is IA growing SEN
timent against these vast aggrcgations of
wealth is made more and more apparent
every day. They are beginning TO be re.
garded as a positive evil for which, how
ever, there is no legal remedy. A glance
at the history OF the last thirty or forty
years will satisfy any thinking man
that no such a combination is liza
BILE to occur in the future az those which
led to the rapid accumulation OF vast
amounts of wealth by the comparatively
few. There has not been sufficient time to
even guess what will be the outcome of such
enormous sums as are possessed by Van
derbilt, Gould and others; whether they
will be held intact and 60 ON increasing or
whether they will be divided and each made
the foundation for q separate fortune.
There are sound reasons for the belief in
the division and equally sound ones for the
belief that while some OF those to whom
will fall portions OF the great sums will add
to their shares, a majority willfollow in the
footsteps Of many who have inherited for
tunes, and will scatter them more rapidly
than they were accumulated.

In Difference to public sentiment the
coroner, DR.. Whitfo1d, yesterday exhumed
the body of the suicide Moore and found
upon it a most interesting document giving
his story Of the causes that led to the
awful crime. That the man was a mono
maniac on the subject OF his alleged wrongs
is certain, and it is also reasonably sure
that the true story Of the relations between
himself and Henderson will never be known.
In connection with this case it will not be
amiss to call attention to the haste
with which the two inquests were held
and the body OF the suicide hast
ened to sepulture. No examination
was made by the acting Coroner, and
although the remains were in the custody
OF the undertaken and the sexton for sew
eral hours each, neither thought it neces-
sary to examine the clothes, and as q re.
suit he was buried with money, letters and
other articles in his pockets. In future
cases as much clouded with mystery as
this tragedy it " i'll be better for the officials
to make haste slowly.

In their latest circular Matthews & Webb
say: Cooper is ina state OF extreme eferv-

disseminated. In fact it seems to be one
of those rare cases where nobody is harpy.

chased freely At 10 cents now 70 all the
outside brands selling at ~, 9K and even 3
cents, which dissatisfies them extremely.
Then come disquieting rumors that
another large lake sale is pending at figures
below 10 cents, which leaves them with
goods on hand manufactured from higher
priced copper. The producers are all very
unhappy over these starvation rates M
the refiners equally find very small
profits. The Calumet and Hecla can

brought 10 cents with difficulty and the
other brands have found a sparse and
ragged demand at various lower prices,

ties are completely aghast at these low
rates and the dealers are unanimous III

duction is evidently running behind the

duct of all the refiners that they have little
or nothing to offer. The ruling prices have
been $3.50 firm at New York, $4.65@

much Of their surplus as to leave only
about 1900 tons on hand and in transit,

they will oon cease to play any very active
part in the lead market where they have
been practically the balance OF power for
eight years, having at one time $4,000
tons OF stock on hand.

SAYS the River Press of q recent date:
The reports OF prairie fires still continue
to come in and unless rains shortly come
there will be a woful lack of grass on the
ranges this winter. A large fire is said to
be raging on the other side of tho Belt
mountains, and another in full blast in the
vicinity of st. Peters mission; still an
other at the dry fork ofthe Marias, which,
it is said. extended to the Teton. close to
the ranch Of Charles Richter. A stretch Of

In New York there ia an animated discus.
sion going on among the newspapers as to
the refusal OF the Roman Catholic Prelate
Monsignor Preston to permit the burial in
consecrated ground of the bodies OF a
brother and sister named Crussy who CON-
mitted suicide. One of the requests left by
the pair was that they should be buried in
the cemetery by the side OF their parents,
and in order to make the matter easy their
friends insisted that they were insane
when the deed was committed and conse-
quently should not come under the ban OF
the church. To this Father Preston
turned q deaf ear. He satisfied himself
that the suicides had went about their
work with great elaboration and were in
full possession OF their faculties, and that
there was no evidence save the crime itself
to show they had lost the sense OF
right and wrong. Thoughtful people will
be disposed to applaud the firmness' OF
Monsignor Preston in refusing to make
light OF his church's "canon against self
slaughter" Crime cannot be made it's own
excuse and justification. The sentimental
disposition to excuse suicide on the |
assumption that no one but a mailman
would kill himself has done much to en-
courage the increase OF crime. In former
days when men really believed What they
professed, suicide was regarded with horror
a 8 a voluntary plunge into hell, and the
BODY was ANONYMOUSLY buried at the
cross roads with q stake driven through
the heart. OF course in these progressive
humanity would not permit such a
act, but the rush to the other extreme has
tended to make suicide COM
non and justidahle. This being the case it
Is we'll to see that the great old church
holds to its ancient practice and creed, and

Ill the churches been equally logical and

luent occurrence. In some States the law
'unishes unsuccessful attempts at self de-
truction, but the world over the moral
ointment should frown down and make

n the rarest of cases it cannot be justified. ;
