DRFSSV4EItG VERDICT.

The dressmakcrs of the country and those hav-
ing occasion to avail themselves of the services
of that guild of artists will be interested IN
verdict which was recently rendered by a Balti-
more Jury. II is verdict well calculated for
the present at least to attract attention from

of cloth in making froclS for one OF her GUS

dressmakcr sent in bill charging her with twenty

TWENTY-FIVE yards OF cloth could have been le-
Ultimately consumed in the construction of a frock
that fitted her. The jury agreed with the GUS
toner and compelled the drcssmaker to take a
tuck in her bill of six yard.
One cannot but admire the pluck OF the owner
of the frocS in resisting what she regarded as
an cxtortion All the same, her future re-
garded from the point of view OF frocks, looks
dark. The fact that she employed this particular
dressmaker proves that she regards her a. the
hest one in Baltimore. and therefore in Mary
land and therefore in the world. 1t follows,
therefore, that in spite of this casual Little over
charge of six yards she will continue to patronlze
her. But imagine what sort of a fit she VIII re-

AN TRADE ALLIANCE.

The formation of a European alliance for the
extirpation of slave trading in Africa is an
inspiring event full of promise for benlghted
continent. Prince Bismarck has arranged the
diplomatic details after having been compelled
to adopt decisive measures for the protection
of the German colonsts and traders in Zanzi-
bar The zeal displayed by the Pope in adj
vocating united action by the Powers of
Christendom has also strengthened the Cham
celor's determination to enter upon this beneii-
cent work. Singularly, his chief difficulty lay
in securing the cooperation of the only Gov
eminent which for half century had per-
sistently combated slave-trading on the Afri-
can Coast, Having finally succeeded in re-
ceiving Engiand's support, he has completed
the circuit Of the alliance by obtaining adequate
assurances OF assistance from Russia, Austria,
Italy, France and Greece, in maintaining a
naval blockade of certain portions OF East
Africa. The attitude of Portugal is not men
toned in the cable dispatches, but it is to be
hoped that Prince Bismarck has brought sufi-
cient pressure TO bear upon the Government at
Lisbon TO secure its cooperation. Portugal
has been for century the chief trangressor
among European States in tolerating slave
trading.
highlands momentary reluctance TO join in
this righteous crusade may be attributed to a

With the establishment OF a British protectorate
over Sarawak n now era is begun in the romantic
history of that little State. 1t was founded In the
wilderness of North BorneO by the late Sir James
Brooke more, perhaps in spirit OF philanthropy
than of political conquest. ST. Jamess idea was
to bring the wretched natives under the benign
influences OF Christianity and civilization, ana
he hoped that when he had won the territorial
prize England would guard it. Strangely enough,
England declined to do this, but turned cold
shoulder upon the whole enterprise. Thereupon,
Sir james assumed the title OF RaIah ana be
came absolute monarch OF Sarawak Under his
inst rule the State prospered. Its resources were
Greatly developed. Manufactures fourished The
laws were kept. Schools were founded. MISSION
aries Of all creeds were encouraged in their work;
and the mingled population OF Dyaks, Mnlays
and Chinese lived together in amity This state
of affairs has continued to the perscnt time
under Sir James's nephew and successor, the
present Raiah 1t is to be hoped that the impo-
stion of English authority will in no wise mar
this most successful of all attempts to govern
and civilize a savage race.

From June to November is rather long va

the first held for five months. and the sur

fourteen members were able to get to the Bridge

this miserable farce to be maintained?

The Copyright League are hopeful of Sc
curing favorable action on the Chace- Breckin-
ridge bill at the coming session of Congress.
This bill was passed by the Senate on May
by a vote Of 35 to 10, but in the House the great
amount of time consumed over the Mills bill
compelled postponement of the measure pro-
viding for international copyright. The short
session of the Lth Congress Will doubtless be
fully occupied but time ought surely to be
found for favorable consideration of this i'm
pOrtant bill.

The Superintendent of Buildings does not
deem it necessary to make any investigation in
regard to the reason for the collapse Of the wall
Of tic 9Th Regiment armoIy If one or more
lives had been sacrificed there would have been
a searching inquiry. Is it any less necessary
because tho collapse occurred at time when
no lives were endangered? 1t stands to reason
that if the wall had been properly constructed
and supported it would not have succumbed to
rain and wind of no extraordinary violence.
Jaehne's chance of getting out Of prison by
applying to the United States Courts seemed
meagre, and the lawyer who advised him TO
make the effort has been guilty Of buoying him
up with false hopes. The application hinged
upon the question whether the law under which
the convicted Alderman was sentenced for nine
years and ten months was wrongfully applied
to his case, and whether two years was not the
legal limit Of Imprisonment to which he could
be subjected. The Supreme Court rendered
