THE completion Of the negotiations be-
tween the French copper company and the
American mining companies, signAlizes the
formation Of one Of the greatest trusts OF
the age. From January 1 to March 10 Of
the present year, II, $40, $50 pounds Of in
got copper were shipped from New York
against IL, lO1, 900 pounds for the entire
preceding year. Theore experts have IN
creased in about the same proportion. This
great output is almost entirely controlled
by the French copper Syndicate. The
Lake Superior copper mines hsVe con-
tIacted to sell their product which amount
ed in 1887 to III, 900, 600 pounds to this
company for three years.
The contract places the entire copper
product of the world under the control OF
NJ. SeCretan and his colleagues. Their
profits will be enormous. AT present the
morket price of copper IS more than double
the cost of production, II the syndicate
uses its immense power to force the price
higher, the growing consumption OF cop
Der in various industries will certainly be
restricted.

STEUBESyILLE, March pa commit
tee of conductors from all the divisions Of
the Panhandle called upon Superintendent
Taylor, at Pittsburg, and presented their
grievances. The Superintendent satisfied
the committee that the company had only
followed a Just rule in advancing the
wages of engineers, as seven years ego they
had suffered o decrease. The wages OF
conductors was not disturbed at that time,
and therefore it was not deemed advisable
10 give them an advance ut this time. The
Superintendent gave the committee the as
surance that whenever the company saw
its way clear the conductors should receive
an advance. The conference was q very
agreeable one, and mutual understanding
led 10 an amicable settlement OF all dlter-
ences, and there will be no wage trouble
on the Panhandle.

A "woman's glory" says st. Paul, is
her hair" but when some time back Dame
Fashion with ~proverbial and relentless au-
thority decreed that woman should be
shorn of her fair locks, the mandate was
obeyed. OF came the hair, and the glories
of hundreds Of fair heads fell in shining
piles, to be left in the hair-dressers' hands,
or laid aside to be made into switches of
some future day.
Happily that day is now at hand, and in
accordance with the new regime, those who
have preserved their lest tresses may bring
them forth from their long Imprisonment
and adapt them to the new mode Of az
ranging the hair. While those who are
less fortunate, being the pessessors Of
neither long hair on or offtheir own heads,
can easily supply the deficiency by means
of false switches, ETC., which they can with
a few def touches arrange in a most be-
coming and beautiful coiffnre.
Although several styles are presented,
the Cleveland, 30 called in honor OF the
fair wife Of President Cleveland, has me
with the greatest favor, and will be uni
v~ersally worn. 1t has several features
which recommend it to all ladies of good
taste. While exceedingly stylish it is very
easily arranged, and may be formed with
admirable effect by ladies having very thin
hair, or with an ordinary switch Of three
strands and a few pin-curls. II can be
worn with any size or shape OF hat and
bonnet, and as the front CT bang may be
either simple or elaborate ia accordance
with the heighth or width Of the wearer's
forehead, it is becoming alike to old and
young, and promises to meet with high
favor hy all.
Ladies, who from choice or necessity be-
come their own hairdressers, will ny fol-
lowing the suhjoined directions, find the
task Of arranging this very fashionable
couture with ease. Bring all the hair into
a twist on the. top Of the head almost to
the forehead, crimp or crest the bang, or
place q front piece dressed in loose fluffy
rings over the twist, 50 al TO raise 1t high
towards the Crowd, then take one OF the
three strands, into which the hair, or in
the absence of which q switch has been
substituted, has been divided, and max
ing into q plain knot place in the cen
tire so that the curled ends touch
the neck; the other two strands are now
twisted loosely into q rope twist and
brought around the knot inthe centre and
lust above the curls at the neck, and so
shaped as to give q long, narrow effect to
the couture. The curl ends Of the remain
ing or rope-twisted strains are thus brought
to the top of the coiffure aud mingled with
the curls of the bang or front piece, giving
a most effective appearance from any point
Of view, aud Ia consequence oil its simple
arrangement a most becoming style.

The engineers strike % the Burling-
ton read has already cost over a
million and a half dollars. The end
is Lot vet in sight. The ~switchmen's
strike in all Of the Brotherhood OF
Engineers is a strong move, and may
bring the company TO terms. Whether
victorious or mol the strikers will have
succeeded in infieting almost ~irreparable
damage upon the Burlington system.
After the battle il fought and won by
either side, what has been gained? For
what good has the business Of u
great railroad been brought to a
standstll, and thousands of honest,
capable and industrious men been
thrown ont of employment? The
refusal of the Burlington road to arbitrate
the grievances, real or imaginary, OF which
their employees complained, was q piece Of
almost criminal folly. The differences be-
tween the company and the men were not
of vital consequence. With c~onsiderste &C
ton on both sides there would have been
little difficulty IN effscting an amicabls
settlement.
1t is an emphatic comment on the folly
in which labor difficulties often arise, that
such a conservative organization as the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers has
been driven into the most desperate fight OF
its history, by disagreement on questions
which were in themselves comparatively in
significant.

A SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT.

High license as a remedy for the evils Of
intemperance is growing in public favor
The difficulty Of enfOrcing strict prOhibi-
tory laws il almost insuperable. Except
in isolated communities where q practical
quarantine against the rest of mankind
can be enforced, the rule is that 3 prohi-
bition law is O dead letter. The exact
moral value of temperance in such o COM
munity is a matter of grave doubt.
On The other hand, the idea Of taxing
the vices ofthe people instead Of their viz
tues is o popular one. The high license
laws places c large share of the burdens
of Taxation on the saloon and at the same
time restricts and regulates the traffic.
Nebraska has tried it, and the testimony
of leading Nebraskans is unanimous in its
favor. IN Allegheny county a high license
Law has been in force for some time and
the Pittbury Commercial Gazette commends
it as follows:
"ro those not versed in the old method
Of granting liquor licenses it would be
almost impossible TO convey any ade-
quats idea Of the change which has been
wrought By the High-License law. SO far
as Allegheny county was concerned, the
granting OF the license was a mere formal
matter. The officer upon whom the duty
was deyolved hsd no judicial power. 1t
had long been the custom to grant the
right to sell to any applicant who had
money enough to pay the license fee. The
form of the petition, the character of the
applicant and the responsibility of the
sureties were not deemed worthy of
scrutiny. The petition itself set forth that
the tavern was necessary, and that was
conclusive, so that saloons multiplied on
every hand.
"NOw all that's changed. The admin
istration of the Law is in the hands of the
Court, and its provisions are not only
eo~mprehended, bns intelligently and con
scientiously enforced. The granting of
licenses is no longer a perfunctpry act.
A man or woman nOtoriously unfit for the
business may succeed in getting "a appli.
cation before the Court, but it is hung up
there. The character Of the applicant is
an essential element, as is also the neces-
sity for the tavern. 1t is no longer a ques-
ton Of so many dollars for the privilege of
selling, but whether the conditions of the
law is complied with. Revenue is by no
means the object. The public welfare and
the public morals are the objects sought to
be promoted, and the less money the IL
cense law yields the better it will be for
society.
When these important facts are borne
in mind ID is easier to account for the mag
nitude Of the changes which are taking
place here and elsewhere throughout the
State. Wonderful as the change promises
to be IN Allegheny county, it will be
equally so in Philadelphia. More than so |
per cent. Of the saloons will be suppressed,
and who will say that the public will not
be the gamers thereby"
West Virginia is seeking some practical
method Of restricting the sale Of intoxi-
eants. There is food for reflection in
the testimony of tins Commercial Gazette.

Plain Truths Well Told.

Buffalo IN. " Sunday Truth, Labor
Organ: The workingmen have got over the
scare that ''tariff reform" means less work
and reduction Of wages. They know that
it means more work and more purchasable
value for the money earned. They know
that it means less blood money for Insurers
and monopolists. They know that it
means cheeper rent, cheaper homes and
more OF them; more opportunities for tho
unemployed and better times all around.
.sTruth was cautious in taking its posi-
ton in this campaign. We desire to do
right by our constituents. We desire to
naislead no one. Our intere SITS were and are
hound up in the welfare OF the working
element Of the country. And now We say,
midway in this most vital campaign, that
a careful study OF the question OF tariff re-
form, and contact with the intelligent labor
ing element of the country, has convinced
us-and assured us of the conviction OF
leading workingmen-that q reduction OF
the wal taxes on the necessaries OF life is
absolutely necessary to the advancement
OF labor and labor organizations"
