MIR. Justice GRAY has recently filed
che opinion of the Supreme Court Of the
United States in the celebrated GEARY
cases decided on the 10th of May last.
II discusses all the questions involved and
brushes away as if they were so many cob
webs all the points made in the cases by
Mongols and Mongol sympatnizers. and
rests the decision upon broad and SOLID
foundations. The general principles OF
public law which lie at the foundation of
these cases." says the court, "are clearly
established by previous judgments of the
court. and by the authorities therein re-
ferre6 to-" And yet there was senseless
clamor raised when the GEABr cases were
decided. and incorporate zeslots raved as

The Cincinnati Commercial, after saying
that Senator SHERMAN undoubtedly voiced
the substantial sentiment of this country
in stating that no banks OF issue, State or
Federal, should be permitted that would
not be under the direct control of the gov
ernment as the national banks now are,
adds:
"Tsis, II Is proos bic, n the view taken Of the
matter by President Cleveland and MIR. Carlisle.
Such action would comply with the demand OF
the Democratic platform for tbs repeal Of tho
tax on state banks. An unconditional repeal OF
that tax would DO resisted by all sound money
members OK Congress. And this resistance
would be endorsed by a great majority of the
people OF this country"

The Honey Zee Exonerated.

Exhaustive experiments have been con-
Quoted under the auspices of the depart
ment of agriculture to decide if the
honey bees are deserving of the severe
condemnation received in some quarters
from fruit growers. Neither care nor
expense was withheld. Hives were kept
within building from which the bees
could not escape. In this grapes, peaches
pears and plums, varying from green to
dead ripe, were placed. The bees were
deprived Of food and left with the fruit
exposed. Many came to the fruit, but
never broke the skin; but when they
found it broken they fed upon the exud-
ing juice. They showed no tendency to
use their jaws in cutting open place.
The test lasted thirty days; other bees
were tried with similar results. In all
cases food was taken only from fruit
which had been previously broken. Con-
sequently it appears that bees will not
injure sound fruit. Professor Panton,
of the Ontario Agricultural college, says
that this is what might have been ex-
pected when the structure of the bees
mouth is considered. 1t is quite differ.
ent in the case of wasps, which are sup
piled with jaws suitable to break into
the skin, and in all probability they are
the cause Of the injured fruit upon
which complaining observers have seen
