Business communications of all kinds and remittances must be addressed to The Aetorlaib "In Westralnst-ar Hall, said Mr. Joshua FuZalove In "Hard Cash," "iliey sell tlKr tew torn Uon dear, but prime.' The English papers give afrmft dolly con. flrmai:lon of this famous saying, the laiteat being connected with Mr. W .T. Btd, whose exploits in Chicago are not yet forgotten. Now, Mr. Kead Is noth ing it not critical, and In a recent num ber of the Review of Reviews, of which lie Is tth editor, ha criticised tlhe Case of Jat-ei Balfour, then pendQng In. the crim inal court. Balfour, It will be remem bered, iwos the sanctimonious scoundrel who by m?an of building and loan asso ciations, robbed large numbers of con fiding Englishmen out of thousands of pounds and then fled t Argentina. Aftr much difficulty and expense the British government extradited him, and his trial on a number of Indictments for embes ilement Is now progressing. Commenting on Whe matter In his Review Mr. Stead observed: "Another rare rogue In the shape of J&be Balfour was a good deal before Hh courts last month. He will reappear alt -the OM Balttey, and then we may expect to hear no mors of blm for some time to come." This was mild com pared twitSi what American papers can dV, but Itlhe counsel for Mr. Balifour hav ing caUed h aiJtenltlon of he court to H, Mr. Stead and his pubUshers were cited to appear before the court for con t'.impt and for interfering with the due course of Justice by remarks calculated to prejudice Me minds of jurymen. Mr. Stead apolkgized for bis very true but rather lll-Umed expression of opinion, but the Judffe would not accept She apol ogy. On ths contrary toe flned Mr. Stead 100 and ootfts, characterizing his conduct as "unfaCr, ungenerous and Wioroughly wrung." Than is ithe way they manage legal affairs In EingCand. Trial by news paper la net permMed so long as Where are Judges on the bench who understand their bus. new. SteUd could have publish ed such remarks in. t'hls country to his heart's corttemt. All it would have cost would have been' a month or so longer time In Impaneling a jury. But that ex pense would have fallen on 'the taxpayers. Therein is something of the difference though not all between the administra tion of criminal '.aw In 'England and America. A report upon food preparaviom and distribution In France Has be:w sent to the Staite departitnenlt by Consul Chancel lor, of Havre. In Mils report he says that the recent alleged scarcity of meat in the United States, together Iwiuh a very generall suspicion Kf American food sup plies, have co-opt tfaiied to bring before the iminds of lie peopCe of France the necessity of looking to home production for supplies, and much has already been done to consolidate and increaue tlnis disposition by Interdicting the importa tion of Almwcan cattle, and by aitfteunpt hig to supply another deficiency by sub stituting horseflesh, or by such means as pdli'tllcai economists have endeavored to demons trait e as practical undar tht following propositions: 1. That an abundant supply of home-grown meat and foods can be dUtalned at low prices. I. That Hlhey are capable of toeing pre pared for consumpltlon so as to yield much better resuTta than have been hith erto obtained. 3. That H'hey icam be ef- fecitiveCy cooked in a much more econom leal manner than beretofor. t. That they may be dlStnibiVted so es to be promptly delivered In any and every direction to satisfy the wide and varied requirements of every class of consum ers. It is said that the statistics chow that all the food required by lhe peopl of France can he produced In 'that coun try, and thus put Into the pockets of the French peasanlt many millions of francs hitherto sent abroad, (while 4he price of meat at the same time can be so reduced as to bring it within the reach of the poorer ctasse In tncrvased quantities The consul says that hts doubtless in volves the use of horseflesh and certain rtfuse mbiuter of the slaughter houses, such as bones and offal, which have hitherto been thrown away. Ths telegraphic report, In another col. rain, of the confirmation by the supreme court, of ti sat of nhe old Oregon (Pa clllc road to Mr. ilfcunmbnd, should be good news to all AstroUns. The oppor tunity Is now given for him to fill out and complete ths most Important railroad system on the Pool do Coast, of -which AStorCa iwiU be the head and center. Ths connection of ths Oregon PSchic road with the proposed OoUe line up the CaCumbla river, means the liberty of Astoria as well as of the afate at large. Tht (wheat of 'Eastern Oregon and of the Wniamstte Vatley can be landed at tide Water ait reasonable rates by rail and no matter how disagreeable t may b to transcontlnenltal lines reaching ths coast, Astoria- will be given terminal rates. Is It not now about time that delays slvould cease on the part of the few who are Still lalte -with their subsidy matlbers, In order tlnat the beginning of the great enterprise may be made before another season is entirely goneT Here is a liwle redord of the first fiscal year undc the new tariff, prepared by the Toledo Blade.

Of more Interest to .the United States is the information which oomes from St. (PeHensfourg to the effect that in the commercial treaty Just concluded between Russia, end Japan there fs a paragraph providing that here after the duty on petroleum Imported Into Japan shall be levied upon volume and mot upon weight.

The city of Vienna has had Its munici pal charter suspended, lallter over 700 years. Thils severe step was itaken by the emperor of Austria, because of the fanat ical feeling abalnst the Jtws, which Is so strong that at .the last elecWon an anti- Semitic majority was dhbeen to the coun cil.

Meeting of the Chicago Western, Society at the Auditorium Win Advertise. hm,. fr.nulnir from the Chicago Tri bune of the 11th Inst will be of interest: Nearly hundred representatives os western railroads, land companies and lntreslted in the development of the west assembled at a meeting yesterday afternoon held under the auspices of the unicago western, ey- clety at the Auditorium. uin;s wbb m n,na tn . eill sent out a lew aays ago sating forth the popular interest which was bolmg aroused throughout the eaat in regard .to the settlement of peo ple on farms and on. suourioan nonm and the need of organization and actlv ii., th mri nf western promoters. Mrs. Alice Houghton, commissioner from Washington at tne wonu s auir aim dent of the Western society, caueu -me in a. brief speech outlined the purpose of the gathering. Sha said it was necessary io unno u .nn h.hw n-ou..vrn '..mmlirratton could be promdted and InformMtlon regarding western lands be more norougniy um eeimlnated. Thousands of people, she said, were anxious to become landed proprietors in stead or wage earners, unu um n. -tl Hon should be regarded with favor by Intelligent people, inasmuch as It was an ambitious people who would build up a country most profitably and make the best and most desirable class of oltlsens. She was followed by a number of others, among them Col'. (Albert Wythe Dr. John Rusk, J. Francis te of the Canadian PacJllc railway, A. IX. Ford, editor of ths Homeseek'er's Journal, David Ward Woods, editor of the Farm ers' Voice, A. 11. Bertmnd of the (Lnd and River Improvement company of West Superior, and Mrs. Kate Will of the Jour nal of Industrial Education. J. Francis Lee said: "My sympathies are heartily with you In the matter, I be lleve there is no subject so Important as the moVnu of people from the large cities and making them Independent on homes of their own." A. H. Ford of the Homeseeker's Jour nal spoke as follows: "The .west must demonstrate Its real worth and rallxe that it must battle for prosperity. It w.M compel the solid men of all sections to enforce honest dealings with homeseekers." "t k ... r m rrfi.t deal of hu manity in this movement." ald David iird Wood or the Farmers- orc, m one obstacle to the iworit Is that the price of land is exorbitant." Dr. John Rusk said he was constantly beselged by members of his church and of other churches who desired informa tion regarding wise locations for farms. Tills he was unobls to furnish and he considered the establishment of a bureau toy the society would do much good. A committee on exhibition and lltera ndii nf aiwan members rep resenting the various sections of the west, was appointed as rouows: " 9. M. Emery, director of the Agrkuttural college, Boaeman. Mont.: George Q. Can non, president Mormon church. Bolt Lake Cfty; George R. Buekman, secretary of the chamber of commerce of Colorado Springs; E. 8. Wlilard. secretary of the chamber of commerce of Los Angelos; and G. B. Girt jig. secretary of the Na uonal Colonial club. This committee will commence the pre paration of p'.ans at ones for the estab lishment of a permanent western exhibit In this city. They will rtport at the 'next meeting, which will be held In August. IT'S A COSTLY EXPERIMENT. New York Tribune. A reduction .n exports, a reduction tn free VmpOrtajUons, and an enormous In crease In the Importations of goods on which the people must pay a duty are Ijhe net results of the operations of the new tariff law up to date. These are ehlown by the statement of exports and .morts issued by. the bureau of sta. t'jBtlcs tioday. Although the new law was announced as one which would stimulate trade abroa'd, the exports vn Hie first nine months of lis operation fell $liO,l&0,048 be low thve of the corresponding months of laiM year under the McKinley law. The importation of goods free of duty under (the new law have amounted to only $2tS,6G6,0t8, lag&lnst $283,018,941 In the correl3pVnd.ng months of last year under tne McKinley law. On the other hand. the WUson law has greatly increased the '.mipor'tiaitilons of goods on which purchas tru must pay duty, the dutiable imports hi the Till no nronltiis under tbe new law being $284,583,244, wh.le in the correspond Ing imonljhls of tbe preceding year under the McKinley law they were only $191,- 674,913. Th'ls ,s an Increase Of $93,008,331, or over po,ooo,000 a month. Alt Ithls rate Ithe mew law will add $126,. 000,000 a year to the class of goods on wtWvdh the people must piy duty, and actually decrease by many m.llioas the anwclas which they get free of duty, Of the dnportls under the new law, only 48.3 per cent came in free of duty, while under the loTd law In the corresponding ittomijhs or lout year 60.6 per cent Came In free. NJt only so, but the average rate of duty ipajd on the whole miss of I rev pontatjone ds actually higher under the new low than the old. The duty collected on the $053,139,332 of goocU imported under the new law amounted to $120,766,230, or an average Of 21.7 per cent of the value. wnue the uuty collected on the $474.678.. 8G4 of gtoodls Un tihe corresponding cine .months under the McKimOey law was only $96,206,770, or but 20.3 per cent of the value. Not only hus the new law reduced the amount of goods coming in free of duty. bult lit has enormously reduced the ar ticles wh.ch the masses must have. The Imports of articles of food free of duty have falleri'off more than one-half, while the aifJlctltis of food under the dutiable list have more than double!. These ar t.cla of food, It must be remembered, are of the class ithalt everybody must hove, such as sugar, rice, sp.oes, salt, tea, cof fee, etc. Yet those brought In free under she new law are but one-half what they were under the old law, while those on which the paople must pay a duty are doubled. Here are the figures showing the oKgrattons of the new law for the nine months ending June 1, 1895, compared Wwth those of the McKinley low in the nine man'uliB ending June 1, 1894: Total exports, McKinley law, $696,201,-' 442; total exports, Wilson law, $630,033,394. Freie imports, McKintey law, $283,098,- 941; free Imports, Wilson law, $268,566,- 088. Dutiable Jmports, McKinley law, $191, 674,913; UuMable imports, Wilson low, $284,083,2-14. Percen'liaige free of duty, McKinley law, 69.6; percemtage free of duty, Wilson law, 48.3. Per cent of duty collected, McKinley law, 20.3; per cent lot duty collected, Wil son low, 21.7.
