TO Tlie extortionate advance in the price of news end other paper through formation of trust is bringing even Pennsylvania thick and thin protection newspaper men to a realisation of the iniquities ot trusts as the possibility of benefits 0 be derived from lower duties in dealing with the legitimate off spring of a high proactive tenir. Til trtl-t advance ol pHM-r routs the Oregonian about twenlj -live dollars a ton extra, no small item, and it took tsjcasion the other day to place itself on record an to the wore than highway roboery. Here is the comment: The Pennsylvania Editorial As sociation h heen so aflect'd by the dealings of its members with the paper trust that at III annual meeting in Harnshurg, on Tues day, it adopted a resolution declsr ing that "if trusts are honestly or ganized to reduce expense and consequently the coat of products, they hould deend on their own huines sagacity, and not upon protection given to them hy the government," and appealing to con gres to "rceal such tariff dulie a seem to protect the trusts in their extortionate charges." The overwhelming republican majority in 1'ennsyvania is ufticient to stamp the utterance of profound national significance in tariff di cuBsion. The protective tariff ha been nbUlg Oibar ptOpU long time, but the OrefODiu ha never made an earnest protest until pinched Itself. NhlltklHti fJOME ANDERS REEESD. Tim Britiah officers iu South Af rica have been marching their mon lip iigi'ilisi noer iiiuuutinuouw "just as if on parade." The Itriton could not sec the enemy that rain ed a pitiless torm of lesd upon them, but the officer had ihem inarch upright over lire sones swept by the Im-si marksmen in the world. If an American ollicer sac rificed his men that way he would find a court'inartial ready for hiai it he survived hi first experiment of making a parade attack upon concealed shooters who ueer waste a shot. This sort of ineflicienoy on the part of the officers has no doubt disorganized or "rattled" the aol iliAra There are sillDS that the officers are quarreling among them selves and that the private have a profound ditrut of their leader. Home of the order given by BritUh ollic.tr have resulted in the mur der of their men, and the aristo crats who carry the commissions have proved themselves the inot amateurish tighter of the age, whatever may be aid in the praie of their personal bravery. They need loimnunder of the (ieueral Wheeler type or, better still, like that old ludian lighter lieneral Crook. The devil must tie fought with tire. antipoim-s KBIT. One of the oddest meetings ever held assembled, in Indianapolis, hid., the other day, on the joiut call of the Anti-Saloon League, and the State Liquor Deulera Asso ciation, in the Mcridion street M. K. church. The purpose of the meeting wa to itevise means to OOaptl peron who are selling liquor under the government license of 8S, to take out city and state lieenre. In Indiana the liquor license money is turued into the sobool fuud and it was shown that hundred of persons were sel liug without having taken out these licenses. Dr. Callen, secretary of the sa loon keepers league, made the prin cipal address, and K. K. Hitler, the most prominent prohibitiouist in the atate, presided. Between the two some plans were agreed upon whioh will probably bring the license dodgers to lime. M.Al II 1 I U IU ATKKmKD.

IN EARLY DAYS 'The Arriganders in NaUl," in the Kebiuary number of the North American Review, with the follow ing: "The largest army whioh Eng land has ever had on the battle field in South Africa over 20,000 mon, horse, foot and artillery, wiib powerful guns from Hritith war ships and with lyddite shells to help them has been hurled back from the upper Tugela line, losing '2000 in killed, wounded and pris oners and also 11 guns. On the Tugela, where the fathers died in 1838, aye, and south of the Tugela, are the sons now, on the 10th day of December, D"J9. Tbey are there with Lucas Meyer; with I.oui llothv whose mother was in the laager on the Hushman's river in 1838, and with Schalk Huger, whoe father was outlawed and proscribed by the Uri.tish govern ment and went aero Drakensberg, in 142. "They stand on the Tugela, while in the background the great Drak eusberg mountains, where the snow white everlastingly glows, rear their topmost peaks aboTe the clouds. The British general has asked for an armistice to bury bis dead on the 10th of December to bury his dead iu the very ground where rest some of the hones of the murdered Itoer trekkers. "'Avenge Majuba,' the crowds have shouted iu London and at Durban and Cape Town, (tod has avenged Slaohler's Nek instead." The St. Loui Journal of Agri culture say: Speaking of the gun that was supposed to be unloaded, it is frequently the gentle bull that is a meuace to the life and limbs of those who handle him and he is certain to transmit bis vices to his progeny. It Is a safe practice to distrust every bull, even though he may be reputed to possess a most quiet disposition. It is nearly always the quiet animal thai doei the damage, because he is unsus lected,bul when an animal is known to be vioious, it is taking long chances to trust him. The Jacksonville Times iuferen eulially indorses lynching in ex treme case like that ot the Latham abduction slid cruel outrage. The Time says: H. I'atterson and H. K. Harvey railroad brakemen, have been held to answer to the charge of abduct iug and outraging Winnie Thoru, a girl who live at Latham, Lane county, and is under lb years ot age. It is said to be a very bad case of human depravity. There l no punishment loo evere for the eretralor of uoh an act. They are usually lynched iu the southern state.
