--The United States Government
has begun its long -expected suit
against the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, alleging the violation of
the Sherman Anti-trust haw ; and it
will try to prove that the Standard Oil
Company is a conspiracy in restraint
of trade. It is in many respects simi-
lar to the suit against the Northern
Securities Company of New Jersey,
which the Government won, and the
merger was dissolved.
—At a tuberculosis conference at
the Twentieth Century Club, Boston,
Dr. Thos. Darlington, who is Commis-
sioner of Health of New York, made
the statement that the annual loss
from the white plague in this coun-
try may be figured at the rate of
$330,000,000, and that the disease can
be wiped out absolutely in a genera-
tion. It should be exterminated as a
matter of economy, if not for the sake
of humanity, and the way to do it is
to educate the people and treat the
patients.

nearly miff the total expenditure on
Public and Separate schools. in the
Province. The cost of these schools is
bound to go up, no matter whether a
miuit naris salary is or is not fixed by
Provincial statute Would. it not be
well if some of the energy devoted to
a protest against the increasing cost
of education—increase being inevita-
ble in any case—were diverted into a
demand for the fair taxation of rail-
ways and the application of the fund
so raised, as in Michigan, to educa-
tional purposes ?"
--The new safetysystemto be em-
ployed on the electrified zone of the
New York Central Railway marks the
greatest advance that has been made
in signal systems. All the signals will
be operated by electricity and the
lights supplied from the power -house.
For trains running forty-five miles an
hour, the blocks are 1,200 feet long;
between forty-five and sixty miles an . address. The annual subseriptron
hour, 2,500 feet long ; and sixty miles price is $1.50, and the publishers are

—One hundred and fifty leading au-
thors and poets of Germany were ap-
pealed to regarding the use of intoxi-
cating liquors. Of these 115 answered,
most of them saying very harsh things
about alcohol, especially during work-
ing hours. Of the writers appealed
to, four are total abstainers, twenty-
three moderate drinkers, 108 avoid al-
cohol before and during work, and
only twelve are advocates of alcohol.
But even a majority of these twelve
are eloquent only in the praise of
wine taken at table.
WORLD WiDE ARTICLES.
A Weekly Reprint of .A.rticles and
Cartoons from Leading Jonrnais
and Reviews Reflecting the
Current Thought of both
Hemispheres.
"World Wide" is a marvel of in-
terest and cheapness as a high class
eclectic; it will compare favorably
with anything at several times its
price. For the small soul of one dol-
lar and a half it brings every week
for a year the best articles that ap-
Bpear amities the week in the leading
ritish, Ateeriean and Foreign pub-
lications.. Of course it appeals to the
thinking element in each community,
those who want to know what the
world thinkers are thinking ; but
these will find it as full of rare enter-
tainment as of wisdom. It is abso-
lutely world-wide in its interests and
has no axe to grind. The annual sub-
scription includes 1000 Caricatured, a
most entertaining review of the past
year.
Sample copy free of charge to any
lights will be nsed. Automatic stops
are provided to operate whenever a
signal stands at "danger." On the
New York, New Haven, and Hartford
and the other electrified lines entering
New York City, automatic devices
will ho used. The lines will be made
as safe from collisions as all the ma-
chinery that human ingenuity has
thus far created can make there.

—A measure for the suppression of
political corruption is to be brought
forward during the present session of
the Dominion Parliament, by increas-
ing the penalties. The best men of
both political parties should lend their
assistance to such a measure. The ex-
tent to which this evil has grown in
Canada of late years is alarming, and
every check to its fnrther spread
should be welcomed. The Elections
Act is to he so changed as to provide
for compulsory voting. While the
Minister of Justice is satisfied that
this will not do away with an evil
that has become rampant, it may re-
sult in some good thing being ac-
complished.
—Col. Charles Clarke, clerk of the
Ontario Legislature, has resigned.
Eighty years of age last November,
Col. Clarke has for fifteen years been
clerk of the Legislature, and for twen-
ty years prior to that, a member of
that honorable body, serving seven
years as Speaker. For thirty-five con-
secutive years he has therefore never
missed a single session, which is a
record probably without parallel. His
resignation goes into effect at once,
and he retires with the good -will of
every member of the Legislature. It
is probable that his assistant, Mr.
Arthur H. Sydere, has been appointed
as his successor. The position is worth
$2,000 per year.
—According to a leading American
magazine, the Canadian postal system
is managed better than that of the
United States. The magazine referred
to says :—"The postal service of the
United States is so badly managed
that a Chicago man -of -affairs with
good 'hacking' recently offered to con-
duct the whole business, to reduce the
present postal rate on letters and peri-
odicals by one-half, to extend the rural
delivery system, and to pay to the
Government all the net revenue over
a dividend of 7 per cent. a year on the
money that he would have to invest ;
and he would expect to make a good
income. There is no doubt that any
competent private organization could
do all these things. The Canadian
postal department carries periodicals
for a certain distance at one-fourth
our rate, and at distances equal to ours
at half our rate and it has no deficit."
—Swift and progressive movements
mark the Isthmus of Panama to -day.
What was until recently a centre of
political strife and a veritable hotbed
of yellow fever and malaria, is now
the scene of wonderful transforma-
tions and reforms in the health de-
partment, and in the intelligent effort
to bring the colossal scheme to a,tri-
umphant end. Here medical and en-
gineering skill are each contending for
conquests. Statesman, scientist, engi-
neer, speculator and missionary, all
find on this narrow neck of land a rich
field for enterprise and achievement.
The Panama canal will not only prove
a great commercial undertaking, but
a civilizing and humanitarian enter-
prise.

—Canada may appear very small
and insignificant in the eyes of that
individual known as "Uncle Sam,"
otherwise "Brother Jonathan," and to
the poet's fancy may seem to be "The
Lady of the Snows," yet nevertheless
the fact remains, indisputable and un-
eontr dicted---that Canada holds the
record for having more miles of rail-
way to the population than any other
eountry. Last year the mileage built
eclipsed that of any preceding year,
and the present year promises to equal,
if not exceed, 1000. Another fact
worthy of note also is—that our ex-
ports per capita are greater than those
of any other country, not even except-
ing Great Britain, whose fereign trade
(imports and exports together) leads
the world.

—The 'Weekly Sun says that in
Michigan the taxes collected fromrail-
Ways are practically all applied to
educational purposes, and acids :—"If
the railways of Ontario were taxed on
the same basis as farm lands are taxed
now, the revenue received front this g

—The indifference of the general
1?uolic to the continuance of the iron
and steel bounties is remarkable.
Canada seems to have got so big that
millions seen. to count for little. Al-
ready the Dominion Government has
paid out nearly ten million dollars in
bounties. Under the law as it stands
the payment of such bounties must
cease with the end of- June next, but a
proposition is now before Parliament
to extend the period of payment for
four years from the first of January
next—a proposition involving addi-
tional payments in bounties of any-
where from fifteen to twenty-five
million dollars. Surely these indus-
tries have had sufficient assistance.
The ordinary tax -payer will wonder
where his share of this proposed
twenty-five million expenditure will
come in. With our expenditure near-
ing the hundred millions, and the pub-
lic debt reaching well up to the 400
millions, some of these big leaks ought
to be stopped.

That's how pain comes. We. sit
near an open window, get
stiff neck
or sore back. Perhaps cool off too
quickly after exertion — rheumatism
develops. Spend what you may, but
money can't buy anything better than
Poison's Nerviline. Its penetrating'
power enables it to reach deep tissues,
—that's why it cures aches that all
else can't touch. For outward ap-
plication we guarantee five times
more strength than any other lini-
ment. Inwardly it's harmless and as
sure as the hereafter to ease at once.
Don't accept a substitute for Poison's
Nerviline which is the one great
household panacea of to -day.
—The New York Tribune is authori-
ty for the statement that a way out of
the State and Church difficulty ap-
pears to have been opened in France.
The French Government has offered
to let the Catholic priests and their
congregations go on undisturbed with
the free use of the churches provided
they will comply with the general law
of 1881. That law, applicable to all
public assemblages, simply requires
two persons to file in advance notice
of the proposed meeting and therein
to assume. for themselves responsibili-
ty for its law-abiding character. Such
notice is required for each individual
meeting, but the Governinent, to facili-
tate matters, has offered in the case of
the Churches to accept one such no-
tice in advance for all the meetings of
a year at each church. It was under-
stood that the Vatican did not ap-
prove this arrangement, and so few if
any such notices were at first filed.
But the statement from the Vatican
has since removed what -seems to have
been a misapprehension, declaring- di-
rectly that "the Holy See is not op-
posed to the making of applications
under the law." That opens the way
to at least the undisturbed continua-
tion of public worship and the per-
formance of pastoral functions by the
clergy.
—Canadians have to deal with two
monopolies of which very little is said,
and yet their grasping tentacles reach
out and squeeze without mercy. We
refer to the express companies. Talk
about railway companies, they can't
hold a rush -light to these monopolies.
Under these circumstances, it is pleas-
ing to know that a proposal is under
consideration at Ottawa, looking to
the creation of a parcel post system
which will compete with the express
companies. Strong efforts are being
made to prevent the carrying out of
what is proposed, most of this effort
being made by those acting in the in-
terest of corporations now enjoying a
profitable monopoly. Verniers, who
stand to gain very largely by the
adoption of a well arranged plan along
the lines spoken of, shonlet give tor-
dial support to the neve movement.
A branch of the postal service deliver-
ing butter, eggs, fruit, and poultry, as
efficiently' and cheaply As letters are
delivered now, would be infinitely
more efTective than the Railway Com -
Mission as a means of regulating ex-
press rates. The Laurier adm]nistre-
tion mold. not do ft more popular
thing than establish a parcel system.
It Would soon pay its way, and leave
the squeezing, grasping monopolies
stranded hi h and dry, or bring them
