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.

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 an hour, 3,000 feet long. Electric Jolie Dougall & Son, Montreal. —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. 3 * —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 source- Would b. Nnf floient to relit to rsrasonali. tl rmlr, *** —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. Like A Thief In The Night 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 DOMINION BANK. HEAD OFFICE, TORONTO.
