At one time the camphor trade was mo-
nopolized by the governor Of Formosa and
his official staff The annual output ran
as high as 250 and 800 tons and netted the
distinguished syndicate over 100000 a
year. The profit can be easily appreciated
when it is known that the poor peasant
was paid four cents per pound for the cam
phor, which was sold week afterward in
Hong Kong for anywhere from twenty
four to thirty-fve ceuts.-Edward Bedloe

Mr.. Tom Watson in his campaign book
makes three distinct charges against the
present House of Representatives They
are extravaganza, absenteeism and
drunkenness. If the last Congress was
extravagant, as all the Democrats allege,
then this Congress has certainly been so,
for the appropriations have exceeded
those of the first session of the last Con-
gress by some $50,000,000. The Demo-
Gratis might as well plead guilty to this
charge, unless they are ready to with
draw the same charge against the last
House. That there has been an utterly
inexcusable amount of absenteeism is pa
tent to everybody who has watched the
proceedings of the House and seen it'for
days unable to transact business because
the Democrats who composed two-thirds
of the body could not muster quorum
of their OWL number. This charge of
Mr.. Watson's will probably 60 without
any attempt to refute it. The third
charge is drunkenness. Under TINS head
Mr.. Watson says: Drunken men have
reeled in the aisles, a disgrace to the Re-
public, drunken speakers have debated
grave issues on the floor, and in the
midst of maudlin ramblings have been
heard to ask, Mr.. Speaker, where was 1
at?'" This charge is now under investi-
cation by committee of the House, and
before their inquiry is completed com
ment is not in order. Everybody who
feels pride in this country will hope that
this serious charge against one of the
two highest legislative bodies in the land
may be disproved; but if it is proven
then there will be a general demand for
the signal punishment of the culprits.

Gen. Snowden's opinion of the situa-
ton at Homestead is not reassuring. In
effect he says that law and order have
ceased to be respected, and that there is
great danger of an outbreak whenever
the restraining power of the state is
withdrawn. No doubt those of the strik-
ers who are still out are in a much more
sullen mood than they have been, conse-
quent upon the defeat of their plans
which is plainly impending; and SO much
more ready to yield to Indictment to
disorder and riot; and they are constant
ly being inf1amed by incendiary itera-
ture sent them by anarchists and disci-
Piles of the gospel of indiscriminate
destruction of life and property. The
assault upon the Pinkertons after they
had surrendered shows there is an ele-
ment among the strikers which the lead
ers are utterly unable to restrain and
which when it's passions are aroused will
not stop short Of the most savage bru-
talities. Already there are threats that
the mills will be attacked as soon as the
troops are withdrawn and the non-union
men employed driven out, and there are
grave reasons to fear that these threats
are something more than mere empty
bravado.

It appears by the notice of the Carne-
gle Company refusing to longer pay
interest on the deposits of men not now
in their employ that the accumulations
of the workmen on which they have been
receiving interest from the company at
6 per cent, amount to $4,000. That
certainly does not indicate that the men
have been working at starvation wages.

The British Parliament meets on
Thursday. The situation is so full of
uncertainties that the proceedings will
be watched with great interest. There
are many signs which go to show that
Lord Salisbury does not propose to re
sign except after a vote of want of conf
dence, and some of the Conservatives are
opposed to his resignation even then.
Salisbury, however, would not go so far
as that probably. There is some ikeli-
hood that he will attempt to dismember
Mr.. Gladstone's support by proposing
a scheme of Homerule, much broader
than that proposed at the last session of
Parliament, or by proposing some radi-
cal reform in the franchise which would
appeal strongly to the English members.
This hope of breaking the ranks of the
Gladstonians is by no means forlorn
one, inasmuch as without the Irish mem
bers Mr.. Gladstone will not have ma
jority, and their support can only be re-
tanned by practically allowing them to
dictate the course of legislation. This
can hardly be done persistently without
affronting Gladstone's English and
Scotch supporters. Mr.. Gladstone is in
this dilemma; unless he proceeds with
the Homerule bill he will be likely to
lose his Irish support, while if he allows
that monopoly he is liable to drive off
his English and Scotch supporters, who
also have pet reforms that they want
pushed. Mr. Gladstone may be able to
steer between this Scylla and Charybdis
without getting ashore, but it is most
difficult task he has before him.

The Biddeford Journal points out
another reason besides the conduct of the
Biddeford Democrats why Mr.. Chad
bourne should not be confirmed as rail
road commissioner. He is already a
member of the board of State assessors,
and as the law provides that one member
of that board shall be Democrat 'his
promotion to railroad commissioner
would simply mean the appointment
from the ranks of another Democrat, to
one of the most responsible and desira-

The legislative gerrymandering which
the Democratic legislature of Michigan
did at it's last session has been upset by
the Supreme Court of that state, ma
jority of the judges of which are Demo-
Gratis, on the ground of unconstitutional
ity. The court also decides the apportion-
ment of 1885 unconstitutional, SO that
the next election must be held on the
apportionment existing before that time.
The result of this decision will in all
probability be that the next legislature
will be Republican. The constitution
atty of the apportionment in New York
is contested by the Republicans for the
same reasons as the Michigan apportion-
ment, and it is not unlikely that the
gerrymander of Hill and his subservient
legislature will be set aside.

ing to defeat is the appropriation for the
Worlds Fair which has been passed by
the Senate and in favor of which there is
undoubtedly a majority in the House OF
Representatives But the majority has
been rendered powerless to legislate by
the resort of Holman and his handful OF
supporters to diliatory motions and
the refusal of the Speaker to exercise the
powers which the constitution gives him
OF counting quorum. For several days
now the spectacle has been presented to
the country of legislative body bound
hand and foot by the acts of a few fill
busters aided by a weak backed speak
er. If the filibusters are determined

they can blame themselves. All the liberty, every privilege, each advan tage, in political matters that the Mor mons now enjoy in this county, has been secured by Democrats and through Dem ocratic influence.
 Can the people now be induced to sus- tain cause that has always injured them, or uphold men who have always been their bitterest enemies? Ii anoth- CT opportunity presented, would not the same things be encountered again?
