Fifty thousand tons of SCOT are taken out
of the chimneys of London every year. 1t is
valued at 100000 for fertilizing purposes.
Rene Goblet, the new French premier, is
fiftyeight years of age, He-has held the Off

Omaha has 100 saloons, paying $1,000 a

The authorities, says the Washington Critic,

children on the bottle.
Cardinal Layigerie, Primate of Algeria,
has formulated a scheme for rebuilding Car

Northern Africa, and has interested the Pope
and French government in it.
England will celebrate next year not only
Victoria's jubilee, but the jubilee of the cleo
trio telegraph. 1t was on July %, 1887, that
the first. practical telegraph was worked in
England. The wires ran from Eastern sta

Rev, DR.. Woodrow, professor of natural
science in the Southern Presbyterian Theo-
logical Seminary at Atlanta, Ga, has finally
been removed by the trustees, after declining
to resign, on account of his belief in the doc

to Scripture.
The appointment of DR.. Dabney, who was
one of the Andersonyille prison guards, to
be medical examiner in the Pension Bu-
reau, seems to have stirred up the Ohio SOL
diers. Meetings denouncing the appoint
ment have been held in several towns of the
State, and protests signed by Republican and
Democratic soldiers have been drawn up and
forwarded to Washington.

The st. John Globe does not share the
views of the Dominion jingoes, who charac-
terize the American claims in the fishery
controversy as spread-eageism. Speaking
OF the part of the Presidents message which
is devoted to the subject, it says
The President can with certain degree OF
assurance and a certain amount of Justice 90 "a
the Imperial government and say your colonies
are dealing harshly with US. and we would like
you 70 moderate their feelings. We demand OF
you that we shall be put on such terms with that
portion OF your empire as is reasonable and fair
that we shall not be harassed by iron clad laws.
and our friendly relations with You endangered /;
seriously threatened" are the Presidents words
There Is nothing new or improper In a
nation asking that a treaty shall be reconsidered
was IN not entering upon the considera-
ton Of the question when, the British gov
irritating the Americans by seizing, harass
Ing and timing their vessels. In doing this we
nave played the game of their extreme men, and
have given them strength to cry out against u.s.
while we have taken up the costly business Of
maintaining armed cruisers to go through farce
which the government call protecting the fisher
les which is OF as little virtue the Chinese army
beating their drums and tom-tOns to brighten
away the opposing soldiers. We Lave now the
PRESIDENT OF the United States demanding COM
pensation for injuries TO vessels unjustly harsh
y seized, and that Great Britain Will have TO deal
with these demands in practical way is very
certain. As for Canada, she has nothing to gain
by irritating the United States.
Here is practically confession of what
the Americans have claimed that the real
purpose Of arming cruisers and stationing
them along the Nova Scotia and New Bruins
wick coasts was to harass our fishermen
The Globe might have gone further and con-
fessed that the object of this annoyance was
to force our government into a reciprocity
treaty with the Dominion.

After the prominence of the temperance
question in the campaign this year, the re-
suits of the elections present some interest
ing facts. From fourteen States the official
returns Of the prohibition vote have been
made public. Those States are California,
Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Mary
land. Michigan, Nebraska, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Wis
consin, and their total prohibition vote is
222,597, against 111.512 for st. John in 1884.
In Kansas, Minnesota and Texas, States
where the vote has not yet been made public,
the gains arc supposed to have been fully as
great, so that the Voice, the Prohibition Or
gan, claims total vote well up towards
100000, against 10000 for st. John in 1884.
In other words the Prohibition vote has
PROBABLY nearly doubled in two years. To
many who do not reflect that such sudden
fluctuations are common in the votes of the
small third parties that have been continual
ly arising in our politics, or that the much
Wanted vote for st. John in 1884 was vet
smaller than the Greenback vote. of which
little was noticed, this increase in the
prohibition vote may seem remarkable. But
the disparity between the loud claims and
the real numbers of this third party is al
most as great as the difference between their
100000 votes and the ten million votes in the
country But the result of the municipal
elections in Massachusetts presents COM
parison more interesting. as it shows the
proportion of those calling themselves Pro.
hloitlonists to the larger number of reform
ers VINO do not sympathize with them In
the thirteen cities of Massachusetts that
nave voted this month, st. John got total
OF 1850 votes; but this month in those same
cities 22,l76 votes have been cast for practi-
cal prohibition. In Maine the contrast be-
tween the numbers of the political and the
true friends of prohibitory legislation has
often been the subject of comment 1t is by
no means improbable that in almost every
other State the Prohibition vote, instead Of
being a movement of great expectations, is in
reality but feeble indicator Of the strength

A Word About Catarrh.

ut is the mucous membrane, that wonderful
semi-huid envelope surrounding the delicate it's
sues of the air and food passages, that Catarrh
makes its stronghold. Once established, it eats
into the very vitals, and renders life but long
drawn breath of misery and disease, dulling the
sense of hearing, trammelling the power of speech,
destroying the faculty of SMELL tainting the BREATH
and killing the refined pleasures of TASTE lnsidi-
ously by creeping on from a simple cold in the
head, it assaults the membranous lining and en-
velopes the bones, eating through the delicate
coats and causing Inflammation, sloughng and
death. Nothing short of total eradication will Sc
cure health TO the patient and all alternatives are
simply procrastinated sufferings, leading to ia
tai termination. SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE, by
Inhalation and by Internal administration, has
never failed; even when the disease has made
trghtful inroads on delicate constitutions, hear

Boston's municipal election takes place to-
morrow. There are three candidates, the
present Mayor 0'Brien, renominated by the
Democratic machine, Thomas N. Hart nomi-
mated by the Republicans, and George Nc
Neill, nominated by the labor men. AS the
Democratic majority in Boston at the recent
State election was 5000 it would seem as if
the Republicans had no chance of electing
their candidate. But good many promi-
nent Democrats are opposed to O'Brien. Nc
NELL though by no means as acceptable to
the laboring men of Boston as George was
to their brethren of New York and not at all
likely to be supported with such enthusiasm
will nevertheless draw off good many votes
which ordinarily go to the Democratic candi-
date. There is therefore chance for the
election of Hart, and the Republicans of Bos-
ton seem to consider it pretty good chance
