dition likely to develop under the new
American tariff. 1t says:
Never before has the complete domi-
nation of the trusts over the Republican
party been made so palpable to the aver
age man. Congress has been ordered
to protect the trusts and has obeyed.
We found protection stripped of its old
pretensions and excuses. 1t is reduced
to a bare mercenary aspect. 1t means
the enabling of wealthy corporations to
levy tribute upon the masses and to use
the powers of the government to en-
nance piles that are already enormous.
We believe that with just cause be-
hind them the United States might
safely defy all the Vaccinations of hos
tile Europe: but in aggressive policy
dictated by selfish pecuniary interests,
ia must be said plainly that the United
Staes runs serious risk, and how fatal
that might be to all the highest interests
is abundantiy clear. We trust that all
wise and rightly guided Americans will
sound a warning against this bill"
THE PASSION PLAY"
The promoters of the Passion Play"
at Oberammargau foresee dimindehed
profits for the next representation in
1900, owing to the competition of the
Paris exhibition and the committee has
submitted to the regent of Bavaria a
proposition, to break all traditions by
advancing or deferring the date by a
year.
Catholic papers will oppose such
step, saying the village and artists are
becoming vulgar calculators, degrading
the sacred institution.
THE SOCIAL SEASON
LONDON, July 24.-According to Van
ity Fair, the London season, which is
now nearing it's end, has been remark
able for bringing into prominence the
'intemperate" habits of society. In the
course of a long article Vanity Fair says
the women are as bad as the men. Per-
haps the length of the London season
is chiefly responsible for the evil. From
the beginning of May to the end of July
the season is one stretch of fatigue
Long before the twelve weeks are over
pleasure has become nothing but pain.
The women drag themselves weariiy
from house to house and only manage
to do this by the aid of incessant stimu-
lapts.
MINOR MATTERS
The rifle competitions at BisIey this
week have provoked a variety Of opin-
ion among the experts, but they are all
agreed as to one thing and that is that
the shooting has been too good"
Dozens made the highest possible, re-
peating the feat during the shooting
off. Some new method of scoring is now
imperative.
General Miles, having finished his in
vestigations on the military system in
England, has gone to Carlsbad, from
which point he will go to Russia, where
he will meet the Car. He has asked per-
mission to inspect the Russian army.
In England General Miles has been af-
forded every facility. He has been per-
mitted to visit the arsepals and bar
racks to sample the soldiers rations
and to examine, their equipments. AL
though the newspapers recently protest
ed against the granting of such privii-
eyes to foreign officers from the contin :
emit, no mention has been made of Gen
eral Miles in this connection.
The developments at the inquest which
followed the terrible death of Mrs Fran
ces Samuelson, whose hair, while in the
hands of the. hair dresser, took fire as
the result of petroleum hair wash being
used in the dressing, have caused the
most intere,e interest. 1t appears, that
this wash, which is called petrola, has
been very generally used of late in Lon
don. The newspapers are filled with
interviews on the subject and ques-
ton will be asked in the House of Com
mons with a view of prohibiting the I'M
portation of the article.
