1t is lamentable to look upon a
great champion OF any kind when lie
begins to lose caste. Before, he is
courted, fawned upon and followed bv
everybody, and his words are opin-
ions sent ticking over the wires OF the
country to every newspaper in the
land. When his prestige gone, mark
the change. No longer do the people
care for either what he thinks orsavs,
and his whilom friends become either
strangers or worse, and those who
were loudest in his praise are the first
to throw mud at him. Take, for ex-
ample, the great wrestler, William
Muldoon. Not that mean to say
that Muldoon is on the down grade,
but merely quote him as an illustra-
ton OF the general principle. 1t was
not so much to his dscredit that he
failed to throw the japanese and
Evan Lewis at Minneapolis. but the
very failure itself, while there was not
even fighting chance for either OF
them to get the better OF him. reacted
badly, and, fear, lost him not n few
friends. 1t was the same with Ned
Hanlan, the oarsman, and it will he
the same with the boss of them all,

The success OF the secession party in

a serious matter for that Province
and for the Dominion and home GOV
ernments. The Dominion Govern
ment received formal warning a year
ago OF what to expect unless the de-
mands of the Province were heed ed
Tor the readjustment OF the tariff, the
Tightening OF the burden of taxation,
which under the union has become
excessive, and o general reform OF the
financial relations between Dominion
and Province. But the domi nant
party at Ottawa appears to know OF
no remedy for discomfort but sub
sidy. Seemingly it is now too late,
and Nova Scotia will probably execute
its thirst to appeal to the imperial
authorities for leave to withdraw
from the confederation, with what
results nobody can foretell.

the oddities OF natural gas the othet

it being burned in CRATES i'll which are
logs OF asbestos. He said:
These look ike real logs, and burn
very naturally, only they are forever
unconsumed. Well, folks grew tired
OF simple logs, and now they have
taken to making things OF terra Gotta
as well as asbestos, and putting them
in the CRATES to burn You see they
perforate them so that little lets of
flame come from all parts. One day

The State Department is collecting
information as to the methods en-
ployed by the Norman propagandists
in securing adherents abroad to their
pernicious creed. Already some very
startling figures and statements have
been secured, which show on what a
wholesale plan the Mormon recruiting
agents are working in Europe, and
especially in Switzerland, buying young
girls, educating them, misleading them
and shipping them to Utah for their
own nefarious purposes. 1t may be
that the completion OF the work now
being done by the State Department,
by opening the eyes OF European
countries to the spread OF the Nor
mon propaganda among them, will
lead to some united action to check
it. That such action will ultimately
be called for seems not at all improba-
bic, since we can hardly hope to really
crush out the Mormon system SO long
as it's receiving constant accessions
from foreign sources.
