received with great enthusiasm. and made

customary eloquence. His presence and
words had the happicst effect wherever he

cord, Gen. Black went to Boston, to per-
feet the arrangements for the forthcom-
ing National Encampment. He found ev-
erything there in admirable shape with
high anticipations of having in that city
the greatest National Encampment ever
held He drove over the line of march, and
examined the other matters requiring his
approval, and was able to give hearty
commentator to all that had been done or
was being contemplated.

If, as has been strongly hcralded pub
licity i cure for the evil of trusts, then
Il long step ahead has been made by the
decision of the SHi,reme Court in the An
thracitc Coal Companies ease. The Inter
state Commerce Commission desired to
have before it the contracts and other pa
pers relating To the mining and transpor-
tation Of coal by the great companies en-
gagged in that business. The companies
refused. OH the ground that it was an un-
warranted interference with private bust
ness to exact such information, aud the
New York Circuit Court sustained the re-
fusal. Upon the appeal to the Supreme
Court the action of the lower court was
reversed, and the contention of the Inter
state Commerce Commission for the i'll
formation desired was sustained in the
most unequiyocal manner. The Commits
sion is declared To have the right to
know how interstate traffic is conducted,
the relations between the carrier and its
shippers, and the rates charged and col
lected.' This seems TO so to the root of
the whole business, and to give the Inter
state Commerce Commission power to i'll
vcstigate any concern doing an interstate
business.
Very strangely, even some of the best
financial journals approve the decision
and think it will be greatly for the bene-
fit of legitimate business, in checking in
tiuences which have operated very un-
wholesOmely. 1t will bring the coal bar
ons up with sharp turn from position
of unbcarable insolence. 1t will be re-
membered that President Baer had the
audacity to tell President Roosevelt al
the time the latter was endeavorng t.
bring about an arbitration, that the oper
atoms OF the coal trusts were not his noi
| the public's business, but purely those OF
the men who were conducting them. Mr.
Baer and his colleagues have now seei
a light, and will hereafter be much NOR.
| modest in their attitude toward thu
| officers of the law.

The Democrats of New Jersey have led
off with an important State Convention.
which. though the delegates were not in
structed. yet their preferences were so dis
tinct that the Hearst men bolted and held
a convention of their own.
An attempt was made to instruct the
delegates for Parker, but this was not
pushed. and finally abandoned The unit
rule was, however, adopted without oppO-
sition. This seems to be carrying out the
program announced in The National Trib-
une some weeks ago, of an arrangement
by which the Eastern States should unite
with the South to control the st. Louis
Convention. Thc platform adopted is
highly important, as it foreshadows the
partys declaration of principles. 1t ia

course arraigns the Republican party for
its RECKLESS departure from American
policies" and its "open effort to foster

temperate zeal without moral obligation"

THE RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD.

ANY success of the Russians will tend
to the great enlargement of the Greek
Catholic Church. Russia is an earnest
propagandist of this form of faith, and
wherever her flag goes it is followed by
mOnkish missionaries, who ut once begin
bringing the people into the fold of Greek
Catholicism.
There are now estimated to be H.
0SO. 1873 Christians in the world, of whom
23O, 8G6, 533 accept the Roman Catholic
faith, and something over 100000. 600 the
Greek Catholic There are about 10000
600 Protestants, the Lutherans standing
at the head with about 42,OO00OO; these
being mainly in Germany and Scandi-
navia, The Anglican Church comes next,
with about 3OO0O,OOO; the Methodists
third. with about 1S,G5O.OOO; the Presby-

This claim is hardly likely to be realized
as an enterprising commander can usually
land on any coast, no matter how well

can usually succeed in crossing u river, in
spite OF what his enemy may do.
