TELEPHONE IMPROVEMENTS,

The London Engineering is the authority
for the statement that Belgian scientist
has overcome the difficulty experienced OF
induction in telephone wires from neigh.
boring wires, and that he has succeeded in
freely carrying on a conversation between
Brussels and Dover, over about two hun.
dred miles of land wire and sixty miles OF
cable. Whilst the length of cable used
was not as great as that of the Herr expert.
ment OF two years ago, the entire length OF
line was more than double and the freedom
of communication very much greater. 1t
is also claimed that he has so far improved
telephoning, that telegraphic and an
oral message may be sent over the same
wire at the same time. 1t is to be hoped
that these discoveries, or improvements,
will be made practical. At present, use.
full as is the telephone, it is also luxury,
and in addition great trial of patience.
WHAT is needed most of all is the cheap.
ening of the instrument, that it may be
placed within the reach of all to whom it
would prove useful.

SANITARY NECESSITY.

When others refer to it the San Fran.
cisco press rises up and protests, but at
last we have at hand San Francisco jour.
nal which admits that the people of that
city are not fully awake to the sanitary
condition of that metropolis, and which
also admits that the oyershadowing and
all.important matter for San Francisco to
attend to is the cleanliness of the city. 1t
may be that after a long time San Fran.
cisco will open its eyes to the fact that it
needs thorough scrubbing, and com.
plete revolution in its system Of drainage
and its city cleaning methods. But it is
possible that the great reformers, Cholera,
Typhoid ard the Zymotic missionaries,
will have to open the ball of reformation.

ONLY FORMAL.

"The Sultan has peremptorily ordered
Arab Pasha to lay down his arms. II he
refuses, the Sultan will leave him to be
dealt with by the English" So reads q
late dispatch. It confirms our view already
expressed, that the Sultan himself will
only make formal opposition to Arab
Pasha, and that the latter well understands
it. The Sultan is really in pitiable con.
dition and whatever he does he kindles a
fame upon one flank or the other.

wants a Law TO aid its ends, however muuh
it may burden ali the rest Of society an
other asks that the authorities give it
work, although TO do SO they must use the
money of others, and for purposes not con-
templated by taxation; another class
wishes special tariff laws; smother special
exemption from taxation, and so on to the
distant end. It would seem that . large
number OF our people lose sight of the fac.
that government is instituted for all, and
that whatever law or authoritative order
fayors one class at the expense of another
is an absolute injustice to the whole COM
munity. This evil has grown until some
classes have made their demands as if based
on inalienable rights. Thus, an organize.
ton Of workingmen is reported to have ap.
peared before the Tariff Commission with
the claim for protection to home manufact.
ures. by the imposition of tariff of at
least 100 per cent. on foreign-made goods.
To agree to this, it seems never to
have entered the heads OF the petitioners,
would be to put the greater part Of that
protective burden upon home consumers.
Thus would one class be sustained by the
punishment of the others. Say there are
5000. 900 of q class desiring protection, and
that it must result in taxing the other A..
900, 900 to do it; where is the reason,
justice and right to be found for it The
New York Herald, in referring to similar
claims by the labor party, puts it in this
way: MANY hundreds of thousands Of
clerks, statesmen and shop girls are worse
paid than the people who assume to be
the sum total of the working class.
"Why increaee their living expenses for
"the benefit of those who earn more
money! Farmers are twice as numerous
"as the so.called workingmen. Does the
"labor party propose to equalize things by
paying the poor farmer-he is worse than
"poor as rule-l00 per cent. bounty on
