ed by pawnbrokers is borrowed from
that of the Lombards, or Italian bank
ers, who first opened loan establish
ments in England, and who gave the

The Chinese are not much on the
fight, but they are fertile in inventing
excuses for getting whipped. Their
latest is that they were betrayed at
Port Arthur by their general in COM
mand, who subsequently committed
suicide. AS the poor fellow is dead
he can't defend himself; but if he be-
trayed the fortress into the hands of
the Japanese isn't it curious that he
didn't stay to get his reward?

It appears that in Great Britain
women are competing with men in
various occupations less instead Of
more than they formerly did. Late
statistics show that there is not sin
in which the employment of women
has increased faster than that of men,
and that where the number of male
employees has fallen off, the number of
females has fallen off in the same pro-
portion. During the ten years from
1881 to 1891, the increase of male en-
ployes was at the rate Of 272 for each
100000, while that of women and girls
was only 90 to the same number.

The supreme court has decided
that parts OF the income tax are IN
constitutional and the decision is re-
regarded as partial victory for the
opponents OF that measure Somuch
OF the act as taxes rent or income Of
real estate without apportionment
is declared invalid, as is also the tax
on incomes derived from municipal
bonds, These are not subjects OF fed
eTal taxation, nor is the income de-
rived from state, county or municipal
securities. The treasury officials
estimate that the effect of the decis-
ion will be to reduce to about one
halt the revenue that was expected
from the income tax. President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle are
much chagrined over the decision and
more lawsuits will be brought on
other points in the law.

Among the millionaire corporations
and individuals in the new company
are the Standard Oil officers, the
Pabsts OF Milwaukee, the Pillsburys

tor Jones of Nevada, the directors Of
the Southern Pacific railroad and
many other rich men all over the

state and territory. Its patents,
about 25 in number, are based on a
new fundamental principle. About
so sub-companies, he says, have al

fed territory. Col. Franklin Fair
banks is connected with the new
company.
The Bell Company has been one of
the greatest monopolies in the coun-
try and their charges, especially in
the cities, have been outrageous.
They have already begun to reduce
their rates so per cent in some OF the
cities where the Standard is prepar-
ing to compete with them, but they
have begun to curry public favor too
late. The business men are welcom-
