The district attorney has filed
an information against Mr.. G. P.
Fournet, for violating the Sunday
law. It seems to us that the dis
trict attorney should have used
his privilege of filing informations
in other cases which are of a more
serious nature, and a great deal
more dangerous to the entire peo-
pie titan the mere selling of a few
drinks of whiskey. We no not
propose to justify Mr.. Fournet in
violating the Sunday law, not at
all; but we believe informations
should have been first filed in the
more serious cases. Robbing peo-
pie, abstracting public documents
are offenses that should have pre-
ference over the violation of the
Sunday law.

The cholera is still agitating the
minds of the people of the entire
United States, and every measure
is being adopted by the authori-
ties of cities and states to prevent
the spread of the dreadful disease.
1t is the general opinion of those
who ought to know, that there is
no danger of the disease taking
hold in any section of this coun-
try. Ii is, however, wise to take
all precautionary measures to
avoid the disease, in case it should
be imported by immigrants.

A sBUSTRD,, TRUST.

Whenever trust is formed there is
 always much smooth talk about such
 economies as will greatly benefit con-
 sumers by lowering the price of the prod uct of the trust. It is but fair to say that in some cases this result is achieved, and the consumer does get part of the prom ised benefit. But trusts do not always, or, perhaps, usually work 80. The Barbed Wire trust didn't, although it's members promised that it would. The saving in this instance was to be made by the dis continuance of the selling agencies of the several manufacturers. The corporation to which all the patents had been deliver ed, and by means of which the combina- tion had been formed, was to make the sales. The trust corporation ceased to control the market few days ago, and the several manufacturers resumed the old practice of selling their products through their own agencies. But prices did not rise. They have fallen about ten per cent. ''The withdrawal of the Columbia Wire from the market" says the Iron Age, land the resumption of the sale of their own products by the different msnu lecturers, have already brought about the re-establishment of agencies and an active canvass of the market for business. This, with the withdrawal of restraint as to price, has naturally resulted in lower quotations"
 It is to be hoped that the Coal trust which is said to have been formed will work for the benefit of the consumer ac- cording to promise. If it shouldn't the trust idea will receive another very un- pleasant shock. Perhaps, however, when the Wall street fog lifts it may be discov- cred that there isn't, after all the hulla- balloo a real Coal trust

The to- tai output of all the pulp, fibre and paper mills of the United States in 1891 was 2,2S3, ,937 tons, an increase of 124 per cent. since 1890 and of 1s6 per cent. since 1881.
 It is rather interesting to read that deputation waited on the Lord Mayor of London the other day to obtain his aid in securing fair trial in London for anthra- cite coal. They said there was a prejudice against this coal in London on the part of domestic servants, who complained tLat it was very difficult to light fires with anthra- cite. The deputation said, however, that nothing was easier than lighting ordinary fires, and that great economy resulted from it's use. They thought the introduction of anthracite would contribute to abate the fog nuisance in London. There are about 700 ,000 houses in London which on cold days consume 40, 1000 tons of coal, omit ting 4s0 tons of sulphur. Anthracite, they said, was being largely used in Paris, Der lin. and other continental cities. The lord mayor said that, in the public interest, he would do everything in his power to se- cure @. fair trial for anthracite coal in Lon
