Trust-Swceden and Norway.
The Stats Zsituno Of New York says
of Governor Hills changing position;
the proceedings Of the Democratic
State Committee should, In our opinion,
be considered with some seriousness, for
The reason that there Is possibility that
they may have a demoralizing cneet
upon the party. This Will Certainly be

Vaccinations OF Governor Hill. Il very
short time ago il seemed as il Dir. Hill
had become convinced Of the reelection
of PRECEDENT Cleveland. and had given up
the idea of being al aspirant TO the prosl-
Dental nomination. |, is evident, how.
ever, that since the President laid down
plainly his policy regarding the tariff
/ question Mr. Hill felt encouraged 10 pose
again as presidential candidate"
In referring at length to the great
strike the Herald says that, In Panther
Creek Valley and at Tamaqua and
throughout the Schuylkill and l.ehigh
regions there Is about as much suffering
for want OF clothing aud food Just now
as you can find in any part OF the word.
the workmen are nearly all native
Americans and some OF them were in the
war for the Union. Intelligent, brawny,
skillful and peaceable-these are the
words used by our correspondent-they
have firm conviction-mistakep, per-
Laps. but still firm Is rOck-that they
are fighting the great battle OF labor
against capital. They should have credit,
therefore, for their motives. When a
man voluntarily subjects himself to In
convenience or loss or privation il is be-

The London Ghron;c% says OF Mary
Anderson's Hermione which she pre-
poses to act for seven months,
that, FIFTY years ago the part OF
the Jealous Leoptes was favo-
rite with Macready the play formed one
Of the reviyals OF the honorable manage
ment OF Samuel Phelps at Sadlers Wells;
it was produced with great spectacular
splendor by Charles Kean in 1856 at the
Princess Theatre, and it was the last
Shakespearian play given by Mr. Chat
terton at Drury Lane uS7S). The men.
ton Of these four occasions of revival Is
sufficient to show that A Winters Tale
since 1887 has had rs fair chance Of be-
coming popular with the public as any
other In the same priceless catalogue.
Despite the best acting the old school
could furnish, and completeness OF dis
play IN times past, 1t has remained for
our fair American cousin, Miss Mary An
derson, TO invest A Winters Tale with
the honors attaching TO one hundred con-
secutive representations"

The Sugar Trust Is such monopoly q:
can be formed In country which has q

home market, and In that market It can
raise and control the price of sugar sc

, The projected Copper Trust is greater
combination. for its managers seek &c
