CLEARING TT UP.

The decision of the United States Su- preme court in the Tobacco Trust case clears up a matter that needed clearing
 up The case arose from the refusal of the tobacco company officials to pro- duce their books before a grand jury on
 the ground that the evidence in them might tend to incriminate the corpora tion. The Antitrust law provided that witnesses should not be excused from testifying on the ground that they
 would incriminate themselves by ex-
 tending to them personal immunity
 from prosecution for offences so re-
 vealed. It was urged however, that
 this immunity did not extend to the
 corporation itself, and that if it's off,
 cers, though enjoying personal immu- nity, could be forced to testify to illegal
 corporate transactions or produce cor poration books showing such transac-
 tions, the practice would amount to forcing the corporation to be a witness against itself This is admitted by the court, which thus is fairly led to the
 conclusion that corporation has not
 in this respect the constitutional rights of natural person, and that corpor-
 ation's transactions are, under reason-
 able regulations, subject to the inspee- tion of the State to determine if it is obeying the rule under which alone it is authorized to do business. Replying
 to the contention that the lew gives the
 corporation no immunity against testi- mony forced from itself, Justice Brown

PROGRESS IN SWEDEN.

The Government Reform bill in Swe- den practically establishes universal suffrage, recognizing the right, to vote of every male citizen who has attained the age of twenty-four, with the sole exception of. those who are under legal tutelage or in a state of bankruptcy, who are in receipt of assistance from the rates and who have failed for three years to pay rates and taxes or to fulfil military obligations The bill provides that of the 2SO members of the Second Chamber 165 shall be elected by the country districts and 65 by the towns, so long as the united population of the towns does not does 65-230ths of the to- tai population of the kingdom, The delimination of the electoral districts is to be revised every nine years. One member is to be elected in each district. The town and country districts are to be equally divided into one member dis tricts, as far as practicable on the ba- sis of the present parish divisions, but with special reference to geographical conditions and the numbers of the elec- torate. A successful candidate must obtain an absolute majority of the votes registered, and where such ma jority has not been attained a second ballot must occur. The principles ad- vocated in the Conservative bill, which was rejected last season, as check upon the absolutism of the masses have been completely abandoned.
 If this bill becomes a law Sweden will survive in spite of the fears of those who are afraid of the masses,
