Judge Wallace in the superior court
OF California, on January 9th, decided
the case OF the American sugar refinery
company. The action was commenced
by the state some time ago to compel
the forfeiture of the charter ON account
OF the company having become n mem,
Der of the sugar trust. The court finds
that by joining the trust the company
abandoned all the purposes and objects
for which il WAS created by the law OF
California and therefore forfeited it's
corporate franchise. Evidently the
sugar trust Is in II bad way all along
the line.

There are some singular anomalies
of nomenclature in Missouri, a full re-
view of which would no doubt prove
interesting. We have not time for
that, but will, passingIy, call attention
to the incongruity of tho III of some
towns as regards the names OF cCuniies.
For instance, we have u Clinton county,
but h town of Clinton is in Henry
county we have a Cass county, but
Cassville is in Barry county we have
a Lafayette county, but Fayette is the
county seat OF Howard county we have
a Butler county, but the town OF Butler
IL the county seat of Bates county ;
we have Il jackson county, but the
town OF Jackson liz the county seat OF
Cape Girardeau county we have a
Harrison county, but the town of Har-
risonville is the county seat OF Cass
county; we have All Ozark county, but
the town OF Ozark IL the county seat
OF Christian county we have a Jeffer-
'''ftl " WY 10 tu6
county seat of Cole county; we have a
o county but BoOnville is tue
county seat of Cooper county we have
an Oregon county but the town of
Oregon IL the county seat Of Holt
county; we have II Linn county, but
the town OF Linn il the county seat of
Usage county; we have a WAYNE
county, but the town of WaynesyiIle is
the county seat of Pulaski county; we
have a Benton county, but Benton Ia
the county seat of Scott county and
we have a Greene county, but Green
vile is the county seat of Wayne
county. BY using the If smaller
toWns,n not county seats. this list of in-
constituencies could he much further
extended.

IL the present tendency OF the big
fish To swallow the little fish is not
checked by legislation the time will
come when the wealthy will regret
that such things as trusts and combines
were ever born. Money Is mighty
no doubt about that, but capital is timid
aud does not like the smell of gunpow-
der. Corporate greed, monopolistic
tendencies, the march of the rich 10
become richer at the sacrifice of small
operators, manufacturers, or what not,
is an charming sign of the times. If
only statesmen apply the remedies in
stead of demagogues,a all will yet be we'll,
but the trouble is, that the paid attor-
ney and the bowling dervish OF a DEM
agogue too often succeed in breaking
into our Legislative halls, the people
will do well to scrntinfZe with great
carethe standing and the intelligence of
men who desire to become legislators,
whether state or national.

SONS OF THE REVOLUTION.
An Effort BEING Made to Establish a
Branch in Virginia.

A movement ls on foot to establish in
virginia a branch of the Sons of the
American Revolution. This society was
originated in California in 1876, and the
constitution OF the national organization,
formed bv thirteen States IN April, 1859, -
practically the same as the one hrst formed.
The society is non-partisan and has for
its objects the promotion OF patriotism, the
celebrating of anniversaries of the Revolu-
tionary war, and the preservation OF Amer
lean institutions.
Any man descended IN either paternal or
maternal line from patriot of the Reyo-
luton, whether in military or clVll service,
Is eligible to membership.
4 temporary organization was made at
Washin6tou city IN March last 10y several
of the repre-. entatives Of Virginia III Con-
press. and it Is now expected that the resi-
dents of Richmond and other cities OF the
State will take hold and perfect the work
thus inaugurated.
General Bradley I. Johnson, OF Baltl-
more. president OF the Maryland branch
of the order. will visit Richmond on the
4th of July aud will probably address a
meeting TO be called on that dav.
General Joseph i. Johnston Is yice-presi-
dent-general of the order.
IAeutenant James {. Cresop, of the
United states navy, secretary Of the ma
tional body and one of Its most earnest ad-
vocates, is Mt Ford's Hotel. He has letters
of introduction TO a number of prominent
citizons aud expects 10 do some good Work
for the order while in the city. He returns
to Baltimore tomorrow, but will probably
come down on the ith of next month with
General Bradley L. johnson.
The Sons of the Revolution have about
5000 members and branches III twenty
seven States.
