goes, are never given to the public. Pity
for those in trouble and sympathy for
the eftlisted playa a greater part in the
suppression of news than the public
imagines. Trust in a newspaper is
seldom betrayed; but a spirit of defiance
in refusing information uaturally puts
reporters on their mettle, and matters
sometimes become public because ot
this, which would have gone no further
ba the newspaper been taken into eon,

It is doubtful if there was and general
demand for a change in the constitution
of county councils. The system. which
has been in operation for some years has
worked satisfactorily, and it was an
enormous improvement over that which
it superseded. The bill now introduced
will increase the number of county
councillors from 510 to 815, and all these

Any ooereoion of the member who is

on the ground that he should 'stand by'

'!'here is scarcely any difference of
opinion as to the misobievoas effect s of
the treating system, and moat people will
' be disposed to believe that if it could be
gotten out of the way a very long step in
the direction of temperance reform
would be taken. The dtljlions point is
whether or not a law of this character
would be reasonably well -enforced, and,
if not, whether its educative value would
justify its being placed on the statute

"The very wealthy," says Mr. Car-
negie, 'Are not happy." No end of stuff
of this kind is talked by some rich men
and by some men who are not rich.
Some of the very wealthy are not happy.
Some of the very poor are not the happy.
Some who are not neither `rich nor the
reverse are not happy, either. Money
does not necessitate either happiness or
unhappiness. But the cold fact which
every sensible person knows in his
heart is that Inset people have a muck

Chest Pains
of Bronchitis
IT is the tendency of every cold to
develop into bronchitis, consump-
tion or some form of lung trouble.
Bronchitis is most dreaded, because
it has a tendency to become chronic
and return again and again, until the
patient becomes worn out or falls an
easy prey to consumption or pneu-
monia.
If the cough is dry and hard; if
there is pain, soreness or tightness in
that chest; if breathing Is difficult and
causes pain in the chest, you have
every reason to suppose that you
have bronchitis, and should promptly
begin the use of Dr. Chase's Syrup
of Linseed and Turpentine.
Cough mixtures that may help nn
ordinary cold have no effect on bron-
chitis and asthma, but fair. Chase's
Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine
has won its inviable reputation :on
account of it& wonderful success in

Campbell -Bannerman, points to the
colonies as proving that the system of
payment works well. He ought to in,
form himself accurately about the work -
nig of politioal institutions in the colonies
before he founds a momentous change
upon the results of their experience. Had
he been at Ottawa during the last sess-
ion, and especially had he seen the con -
dad of the Senate, he might have been
led to look elsewhere for a warrant. Be-
sides, the case of these democratic com-
munities, where the subjects of legisia-
tion and government are comparatively
simple, differs greatly from the ease of
England, with its Foreign Office, its
Colonial Office, its India Office, its Irish
question and other high and difficult
concerns of State. In abolishing what
was nearly the last Conservative institu-
tion of an, effective kind, Campbell -
Bannerman has taken a bold atep. Let
us hope that it will not prove more than
bold. -Bystander (Mr. Goldwin Smith),

side the principle of representation ac-
cording to population. The village of

It is expected that 50,000 immigrants
frons Great Britain will settle in Ontario
this year. About an equal number of
Ontario people will remove to theNorth-
west in the same time, The volume of
the two human currents is likely to iu-
oreaae rather than to deeraeee. It is
quite within the range of possibilities
that in the next six or seven years we
may lose half a million of our own peo.
ple to the Northwest and receive an
equal number from the old land. Suet'
great changes in a Province with a pop•
ulatioh} of a little over 2,000,000 must
prodnoe important industrial hand social
effects, We are losing not only the
young and progressive, but those of our
own habits and dttstoms; we are getting
young as Well as old from abroad, but
these, whether young or old, • are not as
progressive as are the men and women
we are losing, and their views of life
differ in many reepeote from those held
here. At a result of all this Ontario
of ten years heave will differ very ma-
terially from the Ontario of to -day.
Those of our people Who go to the
Northwest will also be changed; they
Will find themselves developing in the
betlidless West a new point of view,and
Will be greatly influenced by turrennd.

African Natives' Increased Knowt.dQN
Enhances Its Price,.
It is a curious fact that notwithe
standing the marked advance in the
price of ivory in recent years the Vol -
nine of sates has not diminished, but
has actually Increased. Tusks lhive
been selling in the markets of London
and Antwerp at en advance of 80 per
cent. over the prices charged a few
Years ago,
The causes which have led to this
advance in price are interesting. It fe
not due to any arti,dclal manipulation'
of the market in the great centres, nor
is it due to ipereased demand or scarce;

ity of elephants. For the cause the 111-1
quires must look to the heart of Africa,
where a spirit of genuine commercial.
ism is manifesting Itself among the
natives.
Their wealth is in ivory, an they
X,ave Iearned to value It as snit, In-
deed, the .wealth of leading men among
the natives was on1e%cvta}nonly count-
ed in tusks. They would' sweet a
dusky capitalist of this kind that he
was worth so many tusks, just as one

Is worth so many dollars.
Of course that was a natural phase
in the development of a primitive peo-
ple. The red man estimated his riches
In wampum, and the Laplander in fora,
They often would part with their p06-
sesssions for a few beads or trinkets.
They did not know the value of a dol -
o
Iar. Certainly it Can no longer be said
of the natives of Africa that they do
trot know the value of money. They
have learned. Thus it comes that the
"heathen in his blindness' is not so
blind as has been supposed.
Increased transportation facilities
and telegraphic communication have
brought Africa into closer touch with
the rest of the world, It is said that
a native may be working 1,000 miles in
the interior, and yet he can quote you
the cash value of tusks in the Ant-
werp or London market.
Lonely London Bachelors.
The somewhat lonely life led by Ad-'
miral Sir Arthur Cochrane, It. C.
whose sadden death at Charles Street.
St. James', was the subject ot e
coroner's inquest recently, draws at-
tention to many such solitary exist-
ences, says The London Mali.
The district contained within the
limits of the Haymarket, Piccadilly.
Pall Mali, and St. James Street, is
practically monopolized by houses let
out in rooms to retired naval and mili-
tary men and civil servants, all bache-
lors, who have settled down to spend
the evening of their lives within' the
four wails of their respective clubs.
They sleep in the lodging houses which
practically usurp the quadrilateral ot
St. James', and they get their breaks
fasts there, perhaps, and that is alt.
The rest of their time they spend in
their clubs.
It must not be supposed that these
rooms are especially cheap. None are
to be had under twenty-five shillings a
weak; the average price is thirty shil-
Iings, For that one obtains a 'plainly
furnished bedroom at the top of the
house scrupulously clean but without
undue adornment. The attendance is
included, It Is usually good, provided
the tenant eases matters by occasional
"tips" to the valet who keeps hie
wardrobe in order and brings him his
bathin the morning. Lights are also
included, and at night the transient
lodger who returns to the house at 11
o'clock will see in serried rows the
candlesticks of the habitues awaiting
their return from the clubs.
In the hails of many of these houses
also one may see packed away in it
corner dusty piles of hat boxes -+ th
property of young officers scattered all
over the globe in quarters where pint
hats are not de rigueur.
"These lodging houses," said the
secretary of a large West End club,
"'serve a useful purpose, but they are
not places to be ill in. The rules of
most clubs make it impossible for mem-,
bers who practically live in them to
take a bedroom ;permanently in the
club buildings, and these , lodging
houses supply the want,
"For my part, I could not tolerate
the loneliness. But you will find old
gentlemen so wedded to their clubs
that they think nothing of the fent
hours they spend in bed in their lodg-
ings. They will stay up through the
long vacation, though they have plen-
ty of invitations into the country, rat
ther than leave their clubs."
British Surgeon's Odd Dressing.
A substitution of glass for lint in
dressing certain kinds of wounds is the
curious suggestion made by Dr. J. L.
A. Aymard, M. R. C. S., in Tho Lancet
Dr. Aymard describes an experiment
with the new dressing which he him-
self undertook at Johannesburg hasp!.
talAfter obtaining a piece of thick
window glass •the edges of which were
ground on an ordinary grindstone, he
smeared it with carbolic oil and used
it on a patient instead of lint. The
wound, he says, subsequently healed
entirely and will leave no trace of a
scar.
Two other cases lar. Aymard has
treated with watch glasses, the results
being equally satisfactory.
In summing up the advantages of a
glass dressing, Dr. Aymard dwells tip -
on its extreme cheapness and says that
its adoption on a large scale woutt
mean considerable economy in hospital
Practice.
It Is also, the adds, a painless drestes
ing, increases the rapidity of healing
by at Ieast one-half and further enables
the avound to be examined without re-
moval of the dressing.
Wslking to Curs Malaria.
Obstinate cases of Malaria that have
withstood ocean voyages, mountain
heights and gulnlna dosing are said to
have been conquered by systematic and
continued walking. What the malarial
patient wants most to do is to lilt Ilse
doors, nurse his aches and pains or to�j
