in his plain but wholesome fare as any

not from sense of remorse, but because
he realizes that instead OF being hero
he is certain to be punished for 1t. he
still has that fear OF popular indignation,
too. He appreciates the fact that he
would not be safe in this country II he

Those Missing Mail Pouches.

TORONTO, August 4.-Referring to the
mail bags story telegrsphed from Wash.
ington, the Toronto Mail, government
organ, says: 1t is quite true that the
United States mail bags have been con.
tinually used in our service, but it is al
so true that Canadian mail bags have
been used in the American service,
though on account OF the rsater quan-
tity OF United States mails the balance
Of advantage may have been on our side.
AS soon as the attention OF the Cana
dian authorities WAS called to the mat
ter they at once took steps to enlarge the
supply OF bags for our own service,
and of late the alleged grievance has
been rapidly diminishing. The matter
is somewhat trivial for international ex-
citement, hut in these dull times any.
thing will do for a sensational incident.
We are inclined to think that II Post
master General James will push his in
vestieat ons further he will find p. rhaps
that those who have the high privilege
of making American bags have not 9 n
ignorant OF the Use OF them out OF the
country, and that the minor postal Off
cials OF the United States have not been
ignorant of the many considerations in
volved in this international irregularlty.

The Coming Elections-An Interesting
Fight Promised.
BERLIN, August At can be stated
as fact that the Liberals are beginning
TO fear that the Conservatives may get a
majority in the forthcoming elections.
Negotiations have consequently been
opened with various Liberal factions
for an agreement to give their united
support in each district to the Liberal
candidate who appears to have the great
est chance OF being elected. The cleo
tions of magistrates in Alasce Lorraine
show that the German element has
won more influence in many minor
places. Even in Metz some German
candidates have been successful. Pop
uiar agitation here increases as election
day approaches, and il is even now very
evident that Germany has not for many
wears been the arena of such a fierce
and bitter struggle. The reason for this
state OF affairs is that neither the gov
ernment nor any other party has any
fixed programme, and thus personal at
tacks are the order Df the day.
