The public will now have an opportunity to know Low badly Attorney General Har mon wants to prosecute trusts. In ad dition to the evidence furnished by Secre tary Morton, it has been ascertained that the beef trust controls the Atlanta, Ga , markets, to the exclusion of oilier dealers, and that it employs an attorney who arbi trates disputes, assesses fines, and black lists customer, whenever tliey do not obey the rules ot the trust. It Is doubtful, however, if a sincere effort will be made to enforce tl.eautl trust law In the case of the beef trust as against any other of the combines, and the reason for this doubt Is the fact that no effort tins been made to do co, although the law has been in existence for more than two years. It is a lamentable fact that while beef has advanced In price to the public nearly B0 per cent farmers are getting no more lor their cattle than they did before the trust was organized. The trust bas a way of controlling the markets that ab solutely prohibits competition, and if shippers decline to sell at trust prices they ore obliged to hold their clock at con siderable loss until they find that the tru-t is really the only large buyer. Public reutlment Is against trusts, and sooner or later an administration will be elected that will drive them out of ex istence. Let us hope that it will suc ceed the present one. I CUBA'S XEW LOAN". While the scheme of the Cuban Insur reUioulsts to borrow $10,000,000 on the hope of success may seem chimerical It -would be saferto-day than a similar loan to Epiin. With that amount Judiciously ex pended Cuba would gain her independence -within six month3. It would provide war ships to destroy Spanish commerce, supply effluent arms and ammunition, and give suih encouragement to the cause as would Kreatly liarease her fighting force. It would, in fact. Insure a Cuban republic. As security for the loan the Cubans could offer the collection ot her customs up to a certain amount, or concessions for build ins railroads, opening rivers, or making cueh public improvements -as the rapid jrrowtb ot free Cubi would make necessary. But it is hardly likely that the loan can bo made, inasmuch as -iplta!ists seldom risk their money on the outcome of war. rCT YOUHSULF IX HIS PLACE. The arrest of Major Armes promises to jiake public certain facts concerning his military career that may possibly account for his alleged erratic conduct. In recent years l.c lias been charged with having been irrational and violent tempered. If be has been persecuted, as he claims, and dismissed from the service on false charges, hs is represented by reputable "men, there maj be good reason for his Irascible temper. Few men can see their futures ruined, their reputations blackened, and their ambitions Destroyed without great mental distress, and If Major Armes js eccentric it should be remembered that ho has experienced trouble enough to have entirely destroyed the minds ot some men. In 1809 Major Armes was considered a brilliant and efficient officer. While stationed at Camp Supply, Indian Territory, bis Interpretation of duty caused him to tile charges against a brother officer for stealing nurses Tliat officer proved to be b protege of Secretary Belknap, and instead ot bringing him to trial Gen. Sthofleld convened a court martial and Major Armes to dismissed from the service. Afterward the offk-cr ngalust whom Major Armes had preferred i-barscs was cashiered arid sent to the iicnitentlary for ten years. Geo. I'alxner is also ou record as sayin- that the two of ficers ou whose testimony Major Armes was dismissed were totally unworthy of toilet and that one "was a cooTlctctl felon, a btetiwurnuB. andatrrartVrrr" When these facta Insne known Cturest reinstated Ua;-r Arm-, and at that Mom bo was eaLfmi as a brave; acd g-aOast atier A Irw years ale Cetcmi paucit an act ir tt.ii aitwnvit nrrtsta rUml (tinccr to ! brrrrttm -IB Mxtwr nk Wl M cn it TV pteMa f Major Arrows ior ib imm wa rrjrriaS by Cm tor k4 wttc rv as a iraaoa ttwt fcr tits aa arrettt ewal. ad wkm .

The men on -nhoso affidavits Major Armed was proclaimed a coward wiyo ignorant negroes who attached a mark Instead of their signatures to their written oatbj. Tln.ro was on file in the War De partment at that time a letter from Gen. Hancock commending Major Armes for gallant conduct: the report of Col. Cor bin, who said he deserved any rewtrd "our common superiors may have in store," ai.d in the Congressional Itecord at the Library are the statements of Gens. Talmer, Crittenden and Penrose and Con gressmen Wells, Casson and Heilly, nil of whom praise Major Armes as a bravo and capable officer. But in Gen. Bclio field's opinion their evidence was not as weighty as that of threo ignorant negroes. These in brief are the outlines ot the method by which Gen. Schoricld is al leged to have persecuted Major Armes, and which led to the delivery ot the letter and the arbitrary arrest. Let the public answer how mauy men could have successfully withstood such a mental strain as has been put upon Major Arracs, and if he has not,good reason to consider himself pcrrccitfed. His offense was the mere writltg a letter stating his grievances. D12DICATIOX OF AIcMAHOX ITALL. The dedication of the McMahon Hall of Philosophy at the Catholic UiuA crslty to morrow will be an event of unusual in terest, both because of the Incidents con nected with the donation of It and the exalted clerical iersonages taking part in the exercises. Apart -from its immediate concern to Catholics, not only here, but everywhere in the United StHtes, it must enlist the interest of all iieoplc who favor the enlargement of educational facilities of a higher order. Scientific research honestly pursued, no matter by whom or under whoso aus pices, is sure to benefit mankind, and whoever contributes of his means tovrd the accomplishment of such a purpose proves himself a philanthropist of the lilgh est rank. The fouudcr of McMahon Hall belongs to this class. He was favored by Fortuneiu iheaeeumulationof large wealth and is devotlnir it to the noblest object the enlightenment of his fellow-men. Father McMahon, himself a-prlcst and a resident at the uuixcrslty, has seen his donation grow to completion, and his generous endowment will bear rich fruit long after he will have passed away, and unborn generations will reap the benefit. The presence of Cardinal Gibbous and Mgr. Salolll, both of tUiom arc to deliver addresses, will give the occasion tpecial significance. 1HSTIIICT Al'IMIOIMUATIOXS. - It is announced that for the next ten days the District Commissioners will be busy with tlio estimates to be submitted to Congressat its next session, Etcry citizen of tlio Dis trict has a personal interestln thisannouncc ment, fbr there are few not affected by one or another of the appropriations. Attention has be-en called by The TImeo, as occasion served, to a number of matters concerning the District which ought to be urged upon Congress. In ncarlyallof these cither a new appropriation, or the Increase of one already made, was invoUcd. So doubt the Commksioncrs are fully advised as to the need3 of the different departments ot the District government. So they haie been before, yet almost invariably after Congress had adjourned the cry has been heard tint tills or the other thing could nrt be done because of the lack of funds. The revenues of the District are more than sufficient to jsupply all the wants ot Its people. At tlio close of eery fiscal year a large surplus is covered Into the United States Treasury. This is done, however, greatly to the detriment of important in terests which, if this surplus, orocn part of it, were applied to them, could bo ad vanced with much profit to the people. It Is but necessary to point to the one Itemof schools to prove the correctness of this assertion, and as with the schools so It is witha great many of the oilier branches of the District go eminent. The Commissioners should prayerfully consider these facts which are well known to them and put the estimates high enough so that any paring process indulged In by Congress will yet leave enough for all practical purposes. CAPS AXD GOWXS. It is announced that the Talc- seniors of the academic department have decided to wear eaps and gowns every Sunday during the year. For several years classes lunc worn tuch regalia on state occasions, but now, for the first time, a class con cludes to honor every Lord's day in this way. Preceding this decision only by a few days was that of the Justices ot the supreme court of Pennsylvania, who took similar action, after long, solemn, and repeated consultations, and decided to wear when on the bench the flowing sahlc gowns ot the British law courts, and which are worn by Justices of the Surreme Court of the United States. One may well ask where this fad for antique toggery ot British courts and col leges will lead. When the Yale boys con clude to wcarthelrgowns every 8uuday in the j ear it may be accepted as a precursor of gowns every day of the jear, and their example and that of the Pennsylvania Judges will lead to similar action by other colleges and courts, and general adop tion of the cap and gown will be a signal for a rehabilitation of the wig and powder puff. It is doubtful if real Americans, who feel that genuine democratic thrill of heart and soul in favor of equality and fine simplicity which every American should feel, will take kindly to this in novation. The gowns are an imitation of foreign customs, which originated at a time when those who trod upon tiiencckB ot the common people sought to distin guish themselves from the mob by im pressive costumes. Ranks- and classes were known by their dress. As the spirit of democracy spread, dif ferences In costumes became less marked, and perpetuation ot class and official costumes in civil life more and more offen sive. Rapid intellectual growth toward the more perfect democracy which marks thee last-of Ihe-ccntury das will not be disposed to look with .favor upon any at tempt to revie generally these emblems of monarchical rule and baronial slavery. If the Tale students will only add bells to the caps of their new Sunday costumes they will be as well dressed as were the professional fools of the Middle Ages. It costs S3.000.000 a month to maintain the Spanish army, which added to the loss of Cuba, will make Don Hidalgo squeeze bis pockctbook. No one will object to liquid fuel for Ironclads If there is hard cash enough in the locker to pay the exiense. While the Klowaa are holding a ghost dance Tammany Is getting ready to se cure greater freedom for spirits. Since Dunrarrn's flank from the yacht race be Is either Infatuated trlib this country or Is afraid to c bouw.
