WHEN the Revolution broke out there were nearly 3,000,000 of people in the American colonies. During the war the population increased, and, notwith­ standing the Interruption of business and the destruction of property, the wealth also increased. The loss of credit and the inefficiency and suffering of the army were principally due to the weakness of the Government. There were, indeed, thirteen Governments, bound together very loosely. Congress had no way of making each State pay its proportion of the expense of the war, and so one State waited for another. It was not until some years after the peace that a strong Government was formed. A Man Kaises His Mat. L When he bows to a lady 6r an el­ derly gentleman. 2.

The New York Press addresses Itself to the New York Post in the following vigorous language: "Tho Eveniiuj Post's editorial under the above caption was itself mythical, because it told in imag native story *he very important truth that there is no truth in a free-trade paper when the subject of tin plate in tho United States is under discussion. The Post protends to have run down every announcement of tin plate concerns being started in this eountry, only to find them myths. The flat contradiction of the Post's pre­ tense lies iu the details of its investiga­ tions, which do not involve a single one of tho following firms and corporations, all tin plaie manufacturers: The St Louis Stamping Company, United States Iron and Tin Plate Company, Demmler, Pa.; P. H. Laufman & Co.. Apollo, Pa.; Norton Brothers, Chicago, 111.; Kirkpat- rick & Co., Pittsburg; Jenninjs Brothers & Co., Pittsburg; tho Falcon Iron and Nail Company, Niles# Ohio; the Cannonsburg Iron and Steel Company, Pittsburg; Jo­ seph Corns & Sons, Massillon, Ohio; the BrittOn Rolling Mill Company, Cleveland, Ohio, and Marshall Brothors, Philadel­ phia. Tin plate from the works of • some of these firms is on exhibition in the Press window and on sale in New York. We have repeatedly given tho address of the agent. Representatives of these firms met in New York on April 29, and each ono stated that his establishment was making tin plate now or about to mako it, whether others made tin plate or not, and on a comparison of notes it appeared that the works in operation or about to be operated will produce about 60,000 net tons of tin plate and terno plate per year. The Press has repeatedly printed these indisputable facts. The Post, hunting in back alleys for "tin plate lies," is not able to find tin plate truths in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, when every morning pa­ per in New York told of this tin plate gathering there. Says tho Post editor in a foot note to a contemporaneous article on the tin plate discussion: "We also are anxious to hare the con­ troversy settled, and for that reason are trying to find a factory. Ono medium- sized factory, working openly and selling its goods at a profit, would close our mouths." And yet It would do nothing of the sort We select a single name from the list given above, that of P. H. Laufman & Co., Apollo, Pa., and respectfully challenge the Post to take its back-door detectives off their undesirable jobs and send a gentleman to buy tin plate for roofing from the New York city agents of Laufman & Co., Messrs.

The English Cobden Club appears to be getting desperate Its members see that the prospect of converting the world in general and the United States in particular to free trade for the bene­ fit of Great Britain grows darker every year. With heroic self-denial they have resolved to forego the grand annual banquet of the club and devote the pounds, shillings, and sixpence it would have cost to the work of forwarding the free-trade cause in America and else­ where. This is pretty good evidence that the cause aforesaid is in diro straits, and that its sworn supporters are conscious of it It looks, too, as if the future supplies of cash from En­ gland to bolster up the fortunes of "tariff reform" and the Democratic party were destined to be.'ome smaller by degrees and beautifully less. Mews for the Tin folate Uan. Information comes from Philadelphia of the organization of tho Welsh-Amer­ ican Tin Plate.Company, with a capital of 81,000,000, for the purpose of carry­ ing on the manufacture of tin plate in Eastern Pennsylvania. The mills to be built are to have a capacity of 2,000 boxes of tin plates a week, which is ex­ pected to be increased to'10,000. *Of course the "tin plate liars" of the free trado«press will ignore this piece of newi, just as they did the meeting here ten i days ago of representatives of nearly a dozen tin plate establishments.

Harold Frederic^**--free-trader writing from London to a frea trade paper, tho New York Times, says that the Cobden Club is so much discouraged with tho free trade outlook that the annual fish dinner at Greenwich was omitted this year. He predicts that tho club will go to pieces in a few years. "The truth," admits Mr. Frederic, "is that the club's mission seems to have ended. It was founded in the first flush of the triumph of political economy over stupidity and ignorance in England by men who fondly believed that tho rest of the world was open to conviction by argument, as the English had shown themselves to be They were going so to spread the light that soon ail mankind would abandon those twin relics of mcducval barbarism, tariffs and wars. The dream was lofty, but it cruelly failed of rcali/.ation. Four great wars have convulsed Europe since the formation of the club, and tariff walls are being reared higher than ever, aud standing armies are in preparation for still vaster conflicts."

But facts neVer sustain free trade claims. Subsequent Stat* Letlilatira TJot Neces­ sary to Give Effect to the Aet or Congress -Chier Jantice Fuller Dellvexw the Opinion, \Vhlefat Ii Concurred In by the Kntire Bench. Tho United States Supreme Court has decided that the original-package law passed by tho last Congress was valid and constitutional, and that it went into effect ""in all States where prohibitory laws prevailed without re-cnactmcnt by the States of the laws by which they forbade tho sa'e of iutoxicating liquors within their boundaries, whether im­ ported from other States or not. Chief .Justice Fuller tendered the opinion of the court, and the tench was united in support of the conclusions at which he arrived, though Justice Gray announced that Justices Harlan, Brewer and him­ self did not concur in all tho reasoning of the opinion of the court. The case upon which the decision was rendered was that of John M. \Vilker- ,son, Sheriff of Shawnee Conner. Kansas, vs. Charles A. Kahrer, brought here on appcit from the decision of tho Circuit Court of tho United States for tho dis­ trict of Kansa^ against the State. Rahrer was tho original-packago agent at Topeka, Kan., of the iirm of May- ;»iard, Hopkins & Co. of Kansas City, Mo , and was arrested the day after the original-package law went into offset. Me claimed that tho law was unconstitu­ tional and also that it could not go into operatioft until the State had re-enacted its prohibitory laws. The court says the power of tho State to impose restraints and burdens upon persons aud property in the promotion of tho ^ public health, good order and prosperity" is a j ower always belonging to the States, not surrendered to them by the General Government, nor directly restrained by tho Constitution of the United States, and essentially exclusive. The power of Congress to regulate commerco among the several States when the subjects are national in their nature, the court saytf, is also exclusive. The Constitution does not provide that interstate commerce shall bo free, but by the grant of this exclusive power to regulate it it was left free except as Congress might undertake to regulata it. Therefore, it has been determined in Bobbins vs. Shelby Taxing District that the failure of Congress to exercise this exclusive power in any case is an Expression of its will that the subject fchall be freo from restrictions or Imposi­ tions upon it by the several States, and if a State law comes in conflict with the will of Congress tho State and Congress cannot occupy the position of equal op­ posing sovereignties because tho Consti- tut on declares its supremacy and that of laws passed in pursuance thoreof. That which is not supreme must yield to that which is supreme. The court says that intoxicating liquors are undoubtedly subjects of com­ merce, like any other commodity, and aro so rccognized, but nevertheless it has bcetroften hold that laws prohibit- ingthe manufacture and sale of liquor within Stato limits do not necessarily infringe any constitutional privilege or immunity, this right being vostei, as in the Mugler case, upon the acknowledged right of the Slates to control their purely internal affairs, if in so doing they pYotect the health, morals, and safety of their people by regulations that do not interfero with the powers of tho General Government. The present case arises upon the theory of repugnance botween the State law and interstate commerco clause of the Constitution, aud involves ^ distinc­ tion between tho commercial power and tho police power which, though quite distinguishable when they do not ap­ proach each other, are sometimes, like tho colors, so nearly allied as to perplex the understanding as the colors do the vision. The court says the Iowa laws held to be unconstitutional in the Loisv original- package case were cnacted in tho exer­ cise of the State's police power and not at all as regulations of interstate com­ merce, but as it amounted in effect to a regulation of such commerce, it was held that so long as Congress did not pass any law to regulate specifically the i traffic between the States in intoxicating I liquors, or act in such a way as to allow I State laws to operate upon it, Congross thereby indicated its will that such com­ merce should bo freo and untrammeled, aud therefore that the laws of Iowa were inoperativo so far a* they amounted to regulations of foreign or interstate* Those who when they look commerce in inhibiting the roccption of such articles within the State, or their sale upon arrival in the form in which imported. It foltowed as a corollary that, when Congress acted at all, the re­ sult of its action must be to operate as a restraint upon that perfect freedom which its silefice insured. Congress has now spoken, and declared that imported liquors shall upon arrival in a State fall within the category of domestic articles of a similar nature. Continuing, the Court says: The laws ot Congress did not use terms of permission to the Stato to act, but simply removed an impediment to the enforcement of the State laws in respect to imported packages in their original condition, created by the absence of a specific utterance on Its part. It imparted no power to tho Stato not then possessed, but allowed Imported property to fall at once, upon arrival, within the local jurisdiction. The liquor arrived ln^KanSas prior to the passage of the act of pongrcss, but there Is no question presented of the right of tho importer to withdraw the property from the State, nor is It perceived that the Congressional enactment 1s given a ret­ rospective operation by holding it ap­ plicable to a transaction occurring after it took effect. It is not the caso of a law enacted in the unauthorized exercise of a power exclusively conflded to Congress, but of a law whic|i it* was competent for the State to pass but which could not operate upon articles occupying a certain situation until the passage of the act of Congress. That act removes the obstacle, and no ade­ quate ground is perceived for holdin? that re-enactment of the State law was re­ quired before it could have tho effect upon imported which it had always had upon do­ mestic property. Jurisdiction attached, not in virtue of the law of Congress, but because that law placed the property where jurisdiction could attach. „ Wfinf Onr Neighbor* Are Doing--Matter* or General and Loral Interest -- Mar­ riages and Deaths--Accidents and Crimes --Personal Pointers.

The natural solution of this financial difficulty would be to devoto less money to the professorships and chairs and use a larg r amount in the construction of tho buildings, but Mr. Rockefeller's generosity appears to be almost as inoxlianstibie as Standard oil, and he will probably come down with another subscription.

TIIK citizens of the West Division, Chicago, are getting impatient over the slow progress of the bill to authorize their Park Hoard to issue a million dol­ lars in bonds to finish up the parks and boulevards in time for 18Sf3. The resi­ dents of that great division of the city wish to make their pleasure resorts and drives as attractive to visitors as those of the North and South Divisions, and do not begrudge the money which it will cost them to do it The members of the Legislature fiom that section should be­ stir themselves and see to it that a measure which their constituents have so much at heart is not lost in the rush and crush of the last days of the session. TIIK old Exposition Building at Chi­ cago is to bo torn down. In its younger days the structure was looked upon as a model of architectural invention and it was justly wondered at as a feat in the erection of arched buildings. After­ ward it suffered degradation and became but a wonderful storehouse of dilapidat­ ed miscellanies, a vast granary shrimp pink popcorn and an art cxbibit for sweet cider and lemonade. It served part of its purpose well and those Chi­ cago people who cherish funny reminis­ cences of its youth will revere it accord- ingly.^But the day of its utility passed ILLINOIS LAW-MAKERS.

All of the gentlemen who tho* spoke were warmly applauded. Only three --Campbell. Karraker. and Leeper--pro­ nounced against the bill because of the amount of the appropriation, being foired, they said, to vote in the negative because their constituents would not indorse so lar^e an amount. The bill, as it goes to the House, puts control of the State exhibit In the present State Hoard of Aericultnre designated as a commission for that por- nose.

The Sorts of the Barbary States--Algiers, forocco, Tunis and Tripoli--were in­ fested with pirates, who darted out tip- on vessels wliiteh sailed up and down the Mediterranean ^iea, and, after plundering thfem, either murdered the •jrew or sold tiiein info slavery. These pirates became the terror of Europe; and some mercantile cbun tries had to pay a yearly /tribute, in order to secure safety for their vessels. England was the only nation feared by these pirates; and, so long as Amer­ ican vessels sailed under the English flag they were reasonably seeure; btit when the United States became a sep­ arate nation, the pirates demanded tribute. For a time the Government Aiid Mw tribute, as the easiest way to secure her commerce; bit in 1801 the Dey of Tripoli grew BO bold as to declare war against the United States, being dis­ satisfied with the payment of the tributes. For four years a series of fights took place, until, in 1804, the American navy having been increased in the Mediterranean Sea, a vigorous attack was made upon the pirates. General Eaton succeeded in taking Derne, one of their ports, and raiseikthe American Hag over it. This was the first and last time our flag was unfurled iu vic­ tory over a foreign town.
