For the information of those who have not kept up with the laws passed by the last legislature, we call atten¬ tion to the fact .hat they passed a law making it a misdemeanor and a heavy fine for any one to put out fire so as to burn off the fields or lands of their neighbors, whether the fire get out by intention or carelessless, and at tho same time it provides that they shall be responsible for any damage such fire may do. We call attention to this fact just now, as it is about time people are starting out for another crop, and, as it is tiie custom to burn the grass off of the field, to caution them that they should be very careful and not let the fire get beyond the place intended to be burned. , Sometimes fire is set out in a field and gets beyond control and burns the field and woods for miles. Under the present law the one settiug out the fire would be subject to be prosecuted by every man whose woods or field was burned, beside being responsible for any damage that might be claimed. It will be remembered that some time last fall Mr. T. F. Turntpseed’s residence four miles east of town was burglarized duriug the absence of him¬ self aud family, and a lot of clothing, a fine gun and some other things were stolen. Mr. Turnipsecd got trace of the gun a short time ago and recovered it yesterday from a negro in .

Mavlays in the Philippines are still wearing their war paint and swear they will nut be subject to the United Stales or any other power; that they will govern themselves or fight. AgitinaUlo’s agents are now in Washington for tho purpose of de¬ manding independence for the Filipi noS. in what they say there is an im¬ plied threat that uuless their indepen¬ dence is recognized we will have to get possession ol’ the Philippine* by force, if wo got possession of them at a!1 - The outlook is certainly far from being a pleasant one. The Philippine* have already cost us a very large sum of money and a good many lives. .If wo have to conquer tho Philippine iu oute bcfoM wc can p088e88 r j oa <rf °* the islands the cost may be so grout that even the most enthusiastic expan* siouist will bo ready to admit that it was a mistake to insist upon possession of the islands. A dispatch from Havana says: It was reported early this evening that General Marlanoa Menocal and his l uhau forces at La Papa had been ask¬ ed to take the oath of allegiance to tho United Stales ami had refused. Tho news that Cuban soldiers had refused to take the oath of allegiance was cheered by tho crowd and mount¬ ed insurgents scattered through the town telling the people that General Menocal bail withdrawn his troops from 1 .a Faya and takeu to tho held. Tin; United States Hag was tom dmyii from many houses in the lower district to-night. The more excitable of the popula¬ tion of Havana’s lower districts are beginning to hoot the American sol¬ diers. Tho higher class of Cubans are bitterly chagrined and disappointed at the turn alTmrs have taken. The developments of the next few days may mean peace or War between the United States and Cuba.

Everything seems to he running to trusts. That is because of our high tariff. Such a tariff breeds trusts; and the higher the tariff, the more trusts there will be. The process is simple. High prices, made possible because foreign competition is prhibited by the induce the budding of new mills until there are more mills than there is legitimate room for. Competition sots in, and prices arc cut fora time. lint tiie, jincc-cutUng docs not continue long. The owners of the competing mills get together and form a combi nation, otherwise a trust. To make an excuse for advancing prices tiie ac tual capital of the* combination is mul tiplieii by five, ten, fifteen or twenty, and the trust is capitalized on paper, for that amount. The trust points out that it has so many millions of capital, and that it is compelled to earn in tor¬ est on that amount, therefore it must put up prices and reduce wages. The public is compelled to pay for the wa¬ ter in the trust stock. The trusts have never been more flourishing than since the enactment of the Dinglcy tariff law.
