According to Mr.. John Bright, the wars
which England has waged during Viccoria's
reign have cost $3.50, ,OOO, 900 and the lives of
6S, 900 men. And most of these wars have
been waged in accordance with the true Eng
lish idea that there is no good reason why
anybody should object to be killed to increase
England's power and greatness.
The skating rink question is becoming a
serious one, that is, it is taken very seriously
by some. A new plan of attack has been
organized in Pennsylvania. The grand jury
of the county in which Harrisburg is situated
has been considering the matter and returned
presentment in which it declares its belief
that such places of amusement are "detri-
mental to the health of our young people and
in q great measure destructive of the morals
of the youths who frequent them;" in short,
thas 'fthey are nuisance"
The comparatively rare ceremony of the
creation of commanders of the old Teutonic
Order took place in Vienna the other day by
order of the Grand Master, the Archduke
William. The church of the order was filled
with commanders and knights, all wearing
coats of mail. The three commanders elect
ed approached the altar with their swords in
their right hands and burning wax tapers in
their left. The swords of the three knights
were then blessed and after high mass they
received the sword stroke which constituted
them commanders. The ceremony ended by
the Grand Master standing before the altar
and waving his sword toward the three quar-
ters of the globe, performance supposed to
represent veneration of the Trinity
All accounts from Mexico agree that there
is something of Catholic reaction" in
progress. The civil legislature of recent
years has been strongly anti-clerical. The
Church property, estimated to be in value
one-half of the entire real estate of the ooun-
try, was "nationalized, +" the monastic orders
were abolished and the Jesuits banished, full
religious liberty was proclaimed, religious in
struction was forbidden in the public schools,

natural selection to seize and enhance" just
as If natural selection were some vigilant in
telligence watching for opportunities to ad-
vance its designs. The same fact which is
thus expressed in, as 1 think, misleading
metaphorical language could have been ex-
pressed in honest prose by saying that Gin
the desperate struggle for existence no pecu-
liarity was too insignificant to contribute to
survival or destruction as the case might
be-" There we have the fact without any il
legitimate implications; and it is thus, as it
strikes me, that scientific facts should be de-
scribed.

Starvation Wages in England.
lLondon Letter in San Francisco Chronicle
To begin at the bottom of the ladder and
first of all deal with the question of wages,
the agricultural laborer in this country is
rarely found to be canning S4a week. 1 was
recently spending few days at Hastings, in
Sussex, and during my stay at that fashion
able watering-p place took occasion to visit
small town, Winchelsea by name, boasting
some 900 inhabitants The population of the
miniature town and the surrounding district
is purely agricultural, and exhaustive inquiry
among the farmers and hop growers there re-
riding satisfied me that 50 80 per week was a
fair average of the earnings of at least two
thirds of the population. Of this 50. 80 never
less and often mora than 80 cents goes for
rent
In three cases l found and his wife
with upward of six children, nom Of whom
were yet able to learn anything, subsisting
upon 50 week. Now, ye grumblers, just
reflect for moment. How would you feed
and clotbe yourselves, much less your wives
and families on 80 per week? In this same
tiny town there are two butchers Shops and
I found the prices of meat to be as follows:
Prime parts of beef, "a cents per pound;
cuttings, that is to say, odd bits chopped off
mere and there to render the prime joints
more slightly, IA cents per pound. A loaf of
bread weighing four pounds cost 12 cents:
vegel ables are trife cheaper than in Am
erica, and bacon and ham are each about 8
cents pound dearer Now, then, how OH
earth do those unhappy people keep body
and soul together? [ am bound to confess
that the conversat ion 1 had with several of
them left the impression on my mind that
they We're tolerably well satisfied with their
surroundings. Sometimes they get little
meat. ''Orce a week?' queried cob, no;
not once week. Perhaps, take it all the
year round once in three weeks Bread
and cheese appear to be their staple food
and on Sundays a slice or two of bacon graces
the anything but festive board.

VOL. LAII.
FEBRUARY.

When it comes to February we do moi
stick at trife We take inventory about
the end of the month, and we would rather
not have anything to list, about the value OF
which there is any doubt. LACES are OF
rather uncertain value lately. We have laid
ont large quantity. or we should rather say
a large variety. Of laces, (Which SO far we
can learn were at least as cheap at the prices
on them as anything in the city,, and in
stead of marking them down separately, have
instructed the clerks to deduct just ONE
HALF from the amount of each sale from
that lot That ought to make them go sure
ly!
Those 39c ribbed wool hose for ladies (that
is, the 60c hose at 39c) are not all gone yet.
We told you last week we had a good many
of them. We couldn't say that now, but
they will go round for day OF two anyway.
We sold some cottons too cheap last week,
and shall likely do it again this week, but
you will have to come and see. We don't
care to '"give away these things too freely
in the papers.
About the best selling dress fabric at pres
ent is the tricot weave. We can buy that
kind of goods good deal cheaper than we
could some time ago; and, besides the low
prices, that 10 per cent. discount should not
be forgotten. We shall keep these discounts
going till inventory-10per cent. on plain
rolored all wool dress goods, ID per cent. on
on cotton and wool colored goods.
There is no discount on Silks there can't
be. Our prices on these are altogether too
low to admit of any further allowance.
An announcement that we made in some
of the papers lately about our 75c white
shirt-a kind of challenge it was-eaused
little ripple Quite a number of people actu-
ally did, to our knowledge, compare our Toe
shirt with a so-called dollar shirt that was
advertised at 75c, and every time we came
off with flying colors. We have doubt a
ont saying anything to us about it. Let 9th
ers try it; that is, let them try to find any
where dollar shirt at 75c that is as good as
our roc shirt.
Gentlemen should drop in when passing
and see how cheap they can buy fine scarfs
of us at present The counter is at our east
ern door.

THE three Democratic Councilmen
who were re.nominated on Saturday,
although 1t was rumored that the OPP
position in the respective wards would
be formidable, had comparatively a
walk over on very large votes poiled.
1t is doubtful IL better selection could
have cen made by the Democrats. Mr..
Adele has proved himself efficient, Mr..
Murray, of the Tenth ward, honest and
somewhat independent, more 80 than
the Almshouse bread baker, and Mr..
Newell is deserving of the large major
ity he received in consideration of the
valuable services he has rendered to the
Eleventh ward and to the city in gene
raj as chairman of the Opening Streets
Committee. 1t is not certain that an.
of the gentlemen ran in opposition tt
the successful candidates would have
made as good record, and therefor
Democratic voters of these wards wer
wise in NOT risking change.

THERE are some prospects now that

the newly elected member of the Leg
islature, is permitted TO- take his seat.
There are two members claiming TO be
Republicans, who could have elected
Mr.. Logan at any time IL they had
voted for him at one time. They have
both voted for him, but when one voted
for him the other one voted for some
body else. One of them says he will
now vote for Logan as soon rs Weaver
takes his seat, and the other says his
fight is over. Even if one Of them
should not vote for him and General
Logan would get the votes of all the

elected 1t is hoped that Logan will
now be elected without further delay K
