SOCIETY" says writer in 'Our
Dumb Animals" "has a way of
avenging itself for the wrongs COM
mitted on the lowest of all its mem
bers. Sir Robert Peel gave his
daughter magnificent riding habit
on her nineteenth birthday, and, at
tired in the embroidered gown, she
rode side by side with HIM in the
parks of London. She had scarcely
returned home before she was taken
i'll with the most malignant form OF
typus fever, and in ten days was
laid to rest in the churchyard. And
the secret was very simple one.
The poor seamstress, in garnet in
one of the slums, while she was en-
broidering that garment, looked up
on husband shivering in the par
oxysm of chills, and she took the
half-fnished garment and laid it
over him, and the garment took up
the germs of fever and conveyed
them from the hovel of the poorest
to the palace of the statesman. And
so we are bound together in one
bundle of social life, and, if we neg
lect the poorest and the lowest,

society vii avenge herself in the
destruction of the highest and the
richest and most cultivated.

THE Supreme Court of the United
States has reversed the decree OF
of the L. S. Circuit Court which
released an Original package
underline Kansas prohibitory law
The case was that of John Nj. Wiki
son Sheriff of Lawrence county
Kansas Charles H. Rohrer. This
is one of the original packages cases
and it came to the supreme court on
an appeal from the Kansas United
States circuit court. Rohrer was
the agent at Topeka, Kan, for a
Kansas City liquor firm. Last year
he offered for sale beer and whisky
in original packages. Rohrer was
arrested for violat 'ng the Kansas
Prohibition law, but the United
States circuit court tor Kansas re-
leased him on writ OF habeas cor
pus. The Kansas authorizes then
brought the case to the supreme
court on an appeal. The court re-
verses their circuit courts decree
and remands the cause for futher
proceedings. Chief Justice Fuller,
who read the opinion, reviewed at
length legal opinion bearing upon
the jurisdiction OF congress over the
states and referring to the original
package law passed by Congress last
year. The chief justice said that by
the first clause of section 10 of article
I of the constitution certain powers
are enumerated which the states
are forbidden to exercise IN any
event; and by clause certain others,
which may be exercised with the
consent of Congress. As to those
in the first class Congress cannot
relieve from the positive restriction
imposed. AS to those in the second
their exercise may be authorized,
and they include the collection Of
the revenue by state enactments,
subject to the control of Congress,
tonnage duty, to the enaction Of
which only the consent Of congress
is required. Beyond this a Congress
was not empowered to enable the
state to go in this direction. Nor
could congress transfer legislative
powers to a state, nor sanction a
state law in violation OF the constitu-
ton, and if it can adopt a state law
as its own it must be one that it
would be competent itself to enact.
By the adoption of the constitution
the ability of the several states to
act upon the matter solely in accor-
dance with their own will was eX-
tinguished and the legislative will Of
the general government substituted.

The latest report OF tariff panic
in Sheffield seems rather ridiculous
III view of the small figures involved.
At meeting held there on Friday
evening last, it was announced that the
value of the cutlery sent from that
city to the United States, which had
averaged SIIo, 900 a year for ten
years, suddenly fell off to SIS. 900
last year, and the workingmen who
composed the meeting were gravely
told that they must starve if other
markets could not be found. As it
is evident that, after the cost of ma
terial, rent, interest and other ex-
penses have been deducted, SIS 900
a year will not keep very many work.
ingmen from starvation, the episode
may be considered as evidence of
the traditional hair that breaks the
cancels back. AS a matter Of fact,
American cutlery is now SO fully
equal to the best imported from
Sheffield that it has largely taken its
place, and it is this fact rather than
the new tariff that has caused the
falling off, for the tariff was changed
too late last year to rake such a
serious difference in the amount of
imports.

WE have to thank the enterprls
ing managers of the Baltimore SIN
for the publication of the first OF a
series OF papers on the money
question from the pen of the dis
tingulshed political economist Prot.
Simon Newcomb, and which we re-
publish in this issue of THE WING.
The paper is written in taking
style the Professor showing In a
plain and perspicuous language, the
curious paradox, that the more
money there is in circulation, the
scarcer it will become by speculation,
and which view is amply sustained
by experience in this and other
countries. We commend the article
as a most excellent one, and the
position taken by its writer as un-
controvertibly sound.

FARMERS in Illinois are rejoicing
over a marked Improvement in the
value of farm lands as well as in the
rates of rent therefor. This is not
what the Alliance men expected, for
according to them, farming is a los
ing business, farm lands are worth
less and farmers are on the brink OF
ruin. The Mckinley tariff was de
clared to be death blow to the
agriculturists. But It has promoted
the manufacturing, mining and COM
mercial industries, and these all help
the farmers. For has not that
model Free Trader, Roger Q. Mills,
declared that ''the best markets for
farm products are not to be found
among agricultural, but among
manufacturing, mining and mer-
camille communities" The Re-
publican idea of home market for
home products, thus unwittingly
stated by Mr. Mills, is receiving a
practical illustration among the
farmers of Illinois and other parts of
the West.

FRANCE is going to try the ex-
pertinent of a regulative tariff. To
meet an anticipated speculation in
wheat, based on the failure of the
crop, the tariff on wheat and flour
will be reduced from August, 1891,
to June. 1892. This will defeat the
gamblers who thought to corner the
market, tor they cannot corner the
wheat crop OF the world, and wilt
give the poor of France, whom these
fellows would starve for the sake of
gain, an abundant supply Of food
from other countries, notably from
the United States, where this years
harvest will be abundant This is
the exercise of "paternal govern
ment," which has never been popu
lar in this country, but in a case like
the one in point it may produce ad
mirable results.

Last Saturday night our village WAS the
scene of disgrlcetul priZa fight between
two black men, backed by four or five
white men. 1t is needless 70 say that all
were under the influence of liquor. The

bloody loses and torn shirts. One white
man had to be helped hpma. Fo the good
name of our neighbornood hope such
affairs may not occur often. But they are
the legitimate fruits of license. w.
