It should be remembered that grants of powers in corporate charters are to be construed strictly, and what is not given is by implication denied.
 Defendant is authorized to own such property as is necessary for it's business and no more. Its powers to acquire and hold property is limited to that purpose
 Tt is shown that defendant has not only misused and abused the powers granted by it's charter, but has usurped and exercised powers not conferred, but which are wholly foreign to that instru- Tnent.

sY- Under republican protection VIC paid debts instead of creating them, and met the running expenses of tho government besides. Blade.
 eB~ After carrying the democratic party through slaughter-house to an open grave, Cleveland thinks he de- serves third term.-Louisville Com mercial
 sB- The American people are not worrying so much about the possibility of third term for Cleveland as they are about the fact that there is still a good deal of his second term to be en- dured.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 sB-It is not so bad for the demo- cratic president to ride in a special car, but when the secretary of war in the democratic administration rides in a special train it seems to be about time to call a halt on the progress of Jeffer- sonian simplicity.-Cleveland Leader.
 .Y" Under the Mckinley law, the im- ports of shoddy for the nine months ending March 31, 1894, amounted to 75, ,J23 pounds, while under the Wilson bill for the eight months ending March 3l, 1895, they aggregated 0,7l3, lS7 pounds. For those who like shoddy, therefore, the new tariff is boon.-St Louis Globe Democrat.
 CY~ There is no free trade in New foundland's new tariff law, as any ] American farmer or manufacturer will discover who undertakes to enter that country with produce or wares to sell. At the same time Newfoundlanders are much in favor of free trade-for Amer ica. The sentiment is inherited from the mother country.-N. Y. Adver- tiser.
 sFY" If the Wilsonites find consola- tion" in anything in the times they are to be congratulated. The free trade New York Post says: "Before another year has elapsed free wool will be so firmly established that no party will dare to threaten change" ," Just wait and see. In the meantime Wilson and his free traders can be thankful that so little of the Wilson bill got to be law of the land. ''The Wilson bill was smashed, but its splin- ters were bad enough.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
 CY- There can be no doubt that Grover Cleveland expects to be renom- mated. Since 1884 no other democrat has been seriously considered in con- nection with the presidency. The democrats have seemed to think that he was the only man who could lead them to victory. We imagine that Grover Cleveland thinks to-day he Is the only democrat in the United States who is fit to be president and if the democrats go to the trouble of nomi- hating a candidate next year they will surely call upon him. We cannot blame Mr. Cleveland for feeling that way, if that is the way he really feels, and many of the people will agree with him that he is the only democrat who is able to make a pretense of be- ing president, even though as chief executive he has been miserable fail ure during both of his terms,-Cleve. ! land Leader.
