he Next Trust.

The organization within the past
year, preliminary or perfected, of sew
eral of those immense new enterprises
known as trusts, suggests another and
far grander trust which, as things are
tending, must come sooner or later.
The sugar trust is now almost COM
pleted. and the whiskey trust has also
nearly got there; but the biggest of all,
when it comes, will be the beer trust.
We are daily drinking more beer and
less whiskey. The brewing business
has reached a magnitude that is enOr-
nous, but it is bound to become a great
deal bigger yet, and the natural con-
clnsion for all the conflicting and strug-
Cling interests of the industry will be a
trust.
These trusts are new forces in the
social world, and among them none will
be watched with more widespread
attention than the tremendous trust
which will eventually carry on the en-
terprise of beer making.

Thomas Chubbuck, a we'll known
resident of Springfield, Mass, died
last week. He was native of Boston,
where he learned the engraver's art,
but after his marriage in 1876 he re-
moved to BrattleborO. There his
acquaintance with the postmaster led
to his engraving the latterly famous
BrattlebOro postage stamp, now of
such rarity. Collectors have paid 5000
for single specimens of this stamp,
which was among the earliest made in
this country.

Gen. Fisk and Mrs. Cleveland.
The Voice.


That is funny exaggeration which
is going through the press that Gen.
Fisk at the Chicago convention said ::
Put Mrs. Cleveland down for $780,"
Here are the facts (the writer was
there and heard it all y Gen. Fisk was
on the platform calling for subscrip-
tons. There was great enthusiasm as
the sum subscribed mounted up into
the thousands. Some one called out,
81 subscribe 800 for Mr.. --,"
Miss Willard announces that Mrs. -
- subscribed 500 for Mrs. -
-" At last one cried out in the au-
dience, "WhO will give 500 for Mr..
Blaine 7" Gen. Fisk instantly said, 81
will give 800 for Mrs. Cleveland"
This was said in such way that we
do not believe any one in that great
audience did not know that it was
said in honor of Mrs. Cleveland for
having banislled wine from her own
table and her well-knOwn interest in
the temperance reform. For this rea-
son the applause that followed was
general and tremendous. Now, if the
enemy imagine that they can make
anything out of that incident to the
detriment of Gen. Fisk, let them keep
on trying. Their teeth will he duller
for the next campaign after gnawing

BUYING UP THE BONDS.
The Bill Again Discussed and Then Laid
Over Till Next Week

ONOA ALL 4NO4b w 00A'
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Senate
this afternoon took up the House bill to pro.
vide for the purchase of United States
bonds by the Secretaryof the Treasury, the
pending question being on the amendment
offered yesterday by Mr. Stewart, au-
thorizing the deposit of gold or silver
bullion and the issuance of coin certificates
therefor. Mr.. Teller took the floor and spoke
for two hours, advocating Mr.. Stewards
amendment, and making a general
argument in favor of silver for
all financial purposes. He said that
until the United States government
took the back track, and planted itself
squarely on the doctrine that silver coin
must be treated the same as gold coin, the
United States would have little or no eff
feet on the financial conduct of other ma
tlons. When the government would have
done that there would be no further ques-
tlon about the price of silver.
CANCELLATION OF BONDS.
Mr. Reagan presented an amendment
which he desired to have printed, to be
offered hereafter, authorizing the Secretary
of the Treasury to cancel interest-bearing
bonds with the $l00,000,000 of gold now
reserved in the Treasury for the redemp-
tion of legal tender notes and repeating
that portion of the resumption act which
requires the redemption of legal tender
notes in coin.
Mr.. Beck gave notice that he would also
offer as an amendment the bill which he
had introduced on the same subject.
On motion of Mr. Sherman a committee
of five Senators to attend the funeral of the
late Chief Justice at Toledo, O., was Or
dered. and Messrs. Sherman, Allison,
Evarts, George and Gray were appointed.
LAID OVER TILL NEXT WEEK.
Mr. Sherman suggested that in the alb
sence of these Senators further action or
discussion on the bond bill should be sus-
pended, and Mr.. Hoar asked and obtained
unanimous consent to have the Senate pro-
ceed during the remainder of the week
assuming that there would be no business
attended to tomorrow, and that there
would be no session ON Good Friday to CON
Sideration of the bills on the calendar.
Mr. Palmer moved that the bond bill be
recommitted to the Committee on Finance.
The motion was entered and will be pend
ing when the bill is taken up again next
week. After brief executive session t he
Senate adjourned at 4:55 o'clock till II
clock tomorrow morning.

WASHINGTON, March 27.--The Senators

Education will not let it get

be promptly vetoed. The dependant
pension bin which the House )mmittee on
Invalid Pensions is now touching up may
be amended in the House 50 as TO improve
it, but the chances are that il will be

RIGHTS OF FISHERMEN.
The Senate Almost Certain to Reject
the New Treaty.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations has de-
voted several meetings to the consideration
of the fisheries treaty without coming to n
final and formal conclusion. The Republi-
can members having made up their minds
about it in advance, were for i'm
mediate action. Adverse, of course
the Democrats have insisted upon
getting all the information, throwing
light upon the treaty printed and before
the committee before proceeding TO dispose
of it. This judicious course has given rise
to the current reports that tine Democrats
Of the committee were trying TO postpone
action on the treaty until next SOS non.
Nothing could be further from the desire
either of the Democrats Of the Senate or of
tho President and Secretary Bayard.
They want the treaty consi Tered at once and
discussed as openly and as fully az
possible. The Committee on Foreign Rela-
lions will report the treaty adversely before
long in executive session, and will then ar
range for It's consideration in open session.
1t will be- brought up and honestly discussed
by the Democrats. The Republicans will
make, with a possible exception or two, set
stump speeches on it, and then it will be re-
iected.

PERIL IN THE PoRKERS.
Dangerous Diseases Prevalent in Ger
many and France.


WASHINGTON, March 27.--The President
to-day transmitted to the two Houses of
Congress a report from Minister Pendleton,
at Berlin, dated Jan. 30, 1888, from which
it appears that trichinosis prevails in certain
parts of Germany, and that a number of
persons have already died from the effects
of eating the meat of diseased hogs grown
in that country. He also transmits a report
from the Consul at Marseilles, dated Feb. 4,
representing that for a number of months
highly contagious and fatal disease has
prevailed among the swine of large sec
ton of France, which disease is
thought by the Commissioner of
agriculture to be very similar to hog
cholera. The President says it is extremely
doubtful If the law passed April 30, 1873,
entitled an act to prevent the introduction
of contagious or infectious diseases into the
United States meets cases of this descrip-
tion. In view of the danger to the health
and lives Of our people and of the contagion
that may spread to the live stock of the
country by the importation of swine or hog
products from either of the countries
named, he recommends the passage of law
prohibiting such importations. with proper
regulations as to the continuance of such
prohibition, and permitting such further
prohibitions in other future cases of like
character as safety and prudence may
require,

TALKS ON TEMPERANCE.
Miss Franis E. Willard, President of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union, was
the first speaker at the evening session. Her
subject was "Woman and temperance"
Hannah Whittal Smith, American Secre-
tary of the Worlds Womans Christian
Temperance Union, followed with an ad-
dress on "The Latest Evolution of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union"
The next speaker was Mrs. Bessie Starr
Keefer, fraternal delegate of the Toronto
Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
She said that she became a Canadian
fifteen years ago. No college in
America would give her a university
education. She was American born. but
she was proved to be a Canadian. When
she began to talk temperance she reviewed
the temperance movement in Canada, de-
failing its defeats and its victories, and said
the Canadian temperance women kneel to
Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton as they do not kneel to Queen Vic
toria. Mrs. Keefer was often interrupted
by applause, as were both the preceding
speakers. The large audience seemed in
hearty sympathy with the subject of the
evenings discussion, and often the mere
mention of the names of some of the
pioneers in the movements was greeted with
applause.

priation of SIS, ,432, 1888 70, and is the largest
bill of the kind yet brought in.
Chairman Blanchard says the bill of 1889,
which was the largest up to that time, ag-
gregated SIS, $4,000, but since then many
projects of improvement have been pre-
river and harbor Improvement have
increased, and accordingly the present
bill is larger. The bill for last year, which
carried nearly $40, 900 600, failed to become

no canal projects in the present bill, and no
