A REVISED edition of the Declara-
ton of Independence will soon be
necessary if these English syndi-
Gates do not quit encroaching upon
the rights and liberties of the Amer
lean people. The self evident truth
enunciated by our forefathers to the
effect that all men are created equal
is being successfully contradicted by
the money of the sons of the men
who failed to controvert the theory
by bullets. An Englishman who
can control syndicate is equal to a
thousand men who have to buy
goods from him.-K. G. Globe.

THE Hutchinson NeICS recently
undertook to obtain the opinions of
a number of our leading attorneys
in regard to the constitutionality of
a stay law. A strong minority was
of the opinion that it would be re-
troactive and unconstitutional. The
majority held that law which did
not impair the binding force of the
original contract is not in opposi-
ION to the constitution, and that a
law which only provides less bur
densome method Of settlement may
be enacted by the Legislature. Now
we know as much about it as we
did before. If we could get the
supreme court to give their opinion
in advance it would amount to some
thing.

The Nicaragua Canal.

Late advices from Nicaragua state that the canal people, realizing the great magnitude of thelr enterprise are proceeding very quietly and in a conservative manner, entirely unlike the management of the Panama Canal. The contracts and subcontracts, with detailed specifications, are being very carefully and thoroughly prepared.
 The recent change of location of the Atlantic terminus of the canal has solved the-probiem of Greytown har- bOr, which will be made one of the best harbors on the coast, and the breakwater for It's protection has al- ready been commenced. The borings from the Big Divide cut have arrived in New York, and deterrfine exactly the condition of the rock to be re- moved. It looks now as though the entire work would probably be divided into three divisions. The harbor of Greytown and the dredging up to the first lock will constitute the Atlantic or Eastern Division, the locks and divide cut, and the balance of the work up to the lake, making the Cen tral Division, and the district from the lake to the Pacific constituting the Third Division. The contract for the Pacific Division, 1t is understood, will 20 to q strong California syndicate, The Nicaragua Canal Company has a great many applications for contracts on all divisions and parts of the work from responsible parties. A strong English syndicate is desirous of taking the divide cut, and the eastern locks. 4 dredging contract for the Eastern Division IS practically closed, and the dredges are being built. Tie health of the entire party of Americans is satisfactory, and everything that can possibly be done to push the work is done n steady and thorough man. ner

Copper.

The tone of the coppers market IS still very firm, and the demand for consumption continues highly satis. factory. The yearly statistics of pro- duction, consumption and socks pub lished in our last issue, while hardly as startling as those of year ago, were certainly surprising as lndicatlng the enormous increase in consumption during the past year; tborgh these figures of consumption may have to be modified somewhat by the full re turns of export, winch were possibly greater than given, the consumption figure beng corr ..ngly less. These sfafistlts sS-sn k- nized as indicating the fboltHghly sound and promising condition of the copper market generally, winch is certainly in more healfhy state than for long time past, and If the pres ent enormous rate of consumption continues the heavy accumulations of warehouse stock must inevitably dis appear very rapidly. The Lake cem- panies are now asking 144@l5 for their produce, but littIe spot Lake copper can possibly stlll be picked up at '14a. although thls is somewhat questionable There IS a very good demand tor Arizona copper at about 'l3g which, in comparison with Lake is very cheap, and casting brands are quoted at l5U 3sc. The quantity of copper of any kind offering is remark ably small, and no pressure to sell is observable in any quarter.-Engineer- ing and Mining Journal.

Mining Dividends in 1889.

The dividend table of mining com panies in the United States and Ter ritories which we published in our last issue shows q total of S10537 .522 distributed during the year 1889 by 61 companies, against $12,061, ,105 distrib- uted in dividends by 64 companies in 1888. The first falling off of lmpor- tance in the list as compared with the previous year is Tn the amount pad by the Consolidated California < Vir- glnla, which in 1888 divided $i, ,1S8,OO0 and last year $756,0G0; this with Hale < Norcross dropping out of the list altogether from S224000 points to a bad Comstock year compared with the previous one.
 On the other hand, our greatest silver producer. the Granite Mountain Min ing Company, paid S2,400,O00 against $1 100000 Iii 1888. Ontario. the next in rank of production to the two named. maintained its division of profits at the highly respectable figure of $e00000. Montana, Limited, an- other of the important producers, was only able 10 give Its r,oprietors one half of that earned in 1888, viz, S106, 250 against $412.500. The other changes to be noted in the list are the reduction of dividends of most of the copper companies, some to the extent of ene-haif and more, while some div idend-payers among the gold and sil- yer mines in 1888 have been replaced by others Tn 1889.
 It must be borne in mind that a very large number of the profit earn Ing mines in this country are owned by private companies CT individuals, who furnish no returns, so that tue dividend table published is d contribu- tion to the public information on the subject, but does not even approxl- mate the profits on inning in this country, and therefore any deductions from it can only be partially correct as to the result of mining as an in- yestment. The actual return. based on the total dividends (S9 472,257) paid by thirty-one companies for the shares of winch we have been able to obtain market quotations, viz, on value of S79,111.150, is mere than 12 per cent.

This is good year for the orange growers. The yield exceeds that of any previous year, and the orchard owners have scid thelr fruit on con- tract at better prices than have been received for long time. It is estim- ated that the yield of Southern Cali fornia will reach 96o, Quo boxes, an in- crease of 23S,0o0 boxes on the yleld for last year. Los Angeles produces more than half of this, the total being put at 55n, l00 boxes. and San Bernardine comes second with yield of 38O.OOO boxes. There has been no close esti- mate of the northern yield, but 1t will he large.

It has beer noticed for many years that the flow of the Gulf Stream ap- pears to be approaching nearer and nearer te the Eastern coast of the Uulon. The question just now seems to have acquired 3 new interest, due to an article recently published in the Boston Transcript, by Lieut.. Downes, |. s. N., wherein that gentleman states that this great ocean current is now flowing nearer to the New En- gland shore than has probably ever been known before. This IS in part at least owing to the weakness of the Arctic current, and its entire absence at times. in the North Atlantic. Lieut DowneS thinks this proximity of ths warm Gulf Stream to our coast ac. counts for the paratively mild. open winters of the past two yeays.- Mining and Scientific Press.

Deague or Grippe?

|
 The French physicians, who are the first to apply scientific medicine to the malady which has set two continent: to coughing in the past two months are in grave doubt whether 1t IS an in. fuenza at all. Both Dr. Proust, in a paper read three weeks ago before the French Academy of Medicine, and Dr. Legroux. in one read before the Paris 'Societe des Hospitaux." incline to the belief that the new malady has rela. tion to dengue or Syrian break bone fever. Dengue, which has hardly been mentioned m ;his country, although | far from unknown. has been rife for nearly year Tn Syria, aud has ex- tended over the shores of the Mediter- ranean and northward into southern Russia. Running course closely similar to break bone fever in thls country, dengue attacks nearly every one in the community with four or five daySofsevere fever ofa rheumatic type, which prostrates the patient, is accom- panied by severe pain and often by a upon the person. The seizures are al- ways sudden, and recovery is often, but not always, speedy and prompt, in spite of great prOstraction wbile the attack lasts The epidemic, which was raging in Paris when these physi- clans were discussing 1t and which is still prevailing there, a number of them think lacks the characteristic symptoms of "dengue," but it is also without nearly as many of the symp- toms associated with grippe" in the l past. The fever has never been known to appear in the past, north of latitude 45 degrees north or south of latitude 2l degrees south. It appears to ori- ginate in the tropics, while grippe has its origin in the Arctic circle. The relations between the two mala- dies are so clear that Dr. Proust in- clines to approve the theory of Dr. Leon Colin that the dengue plays the same part in intertropical lands as the grippe in the regions about the pole, each approaching the type of the otber ln the temperate zone. It is of very little consequence to the layman which the doctors decide the epidemic to be. as long as they are able to cure it, and the French faculty agree with our own that no alarm need be felt over the manifold diScomiorts of the epidemic il ordinary precautions are taken and the rest and retirement which all ds"tors urge carefully ob- served. Whichever the present mala- dy may be, ''it IS enough to declare thai both dengue and grippe says Dr. Proust, ''are 'benignant, and ex- pose the patient to no fatal danger The course of the disease g week later in Paris may have modified this favor. d ble view. We fear that there is no question that the epidemic, to which few casualties can be directly charged, towers the general resistance of the community to other. diseases, and in- directly increases the dealh-rates.

What beautiful bond of touching sympathy exists between General Crook and Geronimo.
