The Price of Victory.
London Timet
Sacrifice is the price of victory. If
we are willing to pay it we shall win :
if not, we 'hall not deserve to win.
The 'sacrifices asked are not great.
They are small compared with those
already made by tether belligerents,
and .wall in proper• ion to the magni-
tude of the i,sue. But they are all
absolutely needed. Let no one suppose
that we are going to finish off this war
in an easy-going way at home merely
by dint of the valor and sacrifice of
our fighting manhood and the eflici-
enc� of our navy.
Gladstone's Foresight.
Loudon Daily Climatole.
Mr. Gladstone was Prime Minister
ween Prussia was demanding frow
Fiance the cession of Abilene anJ
Lorraine, and he held very strongly
that the neutrals of the day should in-
sist that the populations thetueelver
should he first consulted. In trying
to convert his Foreign Minister and
his Cabinet to his view he wrote that
"the throttling" of Alsace and Lor-
raine without anyalterupt on the part
of this country to save them 'will, in
my opinion. he a standing reproach to
England." The German proposal. he
said in another lett-r to Lord Gran-
ville, "calla for the r •probating. of
Europe." Atter his Cabinet refused
to give the neutrals the lead which be
desired. he wrote : "1 have an appre-
hension that this violent Ince'atinn,
and transfer is 1, lead u. from bad to
worse, and to be the heginuing of a
new set ie. of European complication..."
1f Mr. Gledatone's advice bad been
followed in 1870 the history of Europe
duce would have been more tranquil.
A BUSINESS WITHOUT PROFITS.
The Orillia Packet discusses candid-
ly the newspaper situation from the
won't+ry standpoint. Thus :
When Dr. Henry Hough passed
away at a good old age, four or five
weeks ago, be was spoken of as a man
who bad had the rare experience of
staking some money in the business
of pubuehing a town newspaper in the
Province of Outer'''. More than one
of our friend'. have expressed surprise
at this stetetdent.. P. rhaps some even
took it with a grain of sal,. The fact
is that Healy Hough's case offers the
only erseptwu kouwu u, the writer
after a newspaper repellence of just
half a centiry. A few local news-
paper men have made some mons —
nur late friend Sam Wesley, of The
Barrie Advance, for ivatance—hut it
will geuerally, If not insatiably, he
found that the money has been made
in some line of business outside. Even
Dr. Hough, though he baa been spoken
of as baying made money out of The
Cubiowg World, left that town for To-
ronto only about ten tbousand dollars
bittern!? than when he started the

is it lack of busine-s anility ? Not
oeeessar sly. Thi re are nota few pub -
limbers who p rearm average bne.neae

that the pi.tblem of getting money out
of a local newspaper will not be solved
until somebody has discovered how to

The nickel question, far from drop -
Ping out of prominence as the Goveru-
meut seemed to expect, has grown in
ppubtic interest and attention recently.
The Government has increased taxes
on nickel companies as demanded by
the Opposition, and has make a slight
step toward the reflniug of nickel in
the Province, but on both these vital
mitten hu refused to go Dearly as
far as the Opposition considered ne-
ce.t,ary.

erals approved the Government's bill
increasing the to: from three per cent.
'to five per cent. with a eliding scale
of one per Dent. additional for retry
$5,000,000 extra annual profits, but.
they said that even this irbw tax was
quite inadequate and that instead of
one per cent. additional for every
56.000.901 the rate should be five per
cent. Also. whereat, the (hive
is making the increase apply only W
