the saloon is notorious everywhere; but the
insolence Of the Massachusetts saloon passes
all bounds. An instance in Boston is one of
most fragrant on record. On the corner of

should not be located within four hundred

saloon remained. All this happens in the

The surplus revenue, which, like mo-
squito bite. was very troublesome while
Democratic fretting was aggravating the
difficulty, is now not quite fifty million dol
lars, and is all deposited in the banks. BY
buying bonds literally, thus paying off the
national debt, the treasury can probably
handle the surplus for some time without
much trouble. The Democrats, without be-
ing more economical than the Republicans,
were continually scheming to make the sur
plus troublesome in order that thereby they
might pull Gown the tariff. All this schem.

The Senate, now that they enjoy the un-

some trouble to decide what to do with their
President pro tempore, who has been sort of
a jurymast in their political craft. Some
thought they should continue to have per-
manent President pro tempore, who would
be always ready to take the chair at such
times as Mr.. Morton might wish to be out;
while others thought the proper way would
be to choose on each occasion the temporary
President. The former plan was finally ad-
opted, and Mr. Ingalls, will be President pro
tempOre during this Congress, whenever such

The London Times case is finished. Prac-
ticaiiy It was finished when Richard Pigott
was subjected to the critical cross-examina-
ton OF Sir Charles Russell. From that mo-
ment the bottom began to drop out of the
Times charges, and before it was completed
the Times case was left entirely bottomless.
The Thunderer was practically done for some
weeks ago. The interesting and important
question left is how far the government was
implicated with the Times, and how far the
Times discontinue is its discontinue. 1t ii
well known that the alleged Par.
nell letters were produced just In
the nick of time to enable the
government to force through Parliament
drastic coercion bill. 1t is well known
that the Attorney General has conducted the
Times case before the commission from the
beginning. 1t is well known also that the
commission act was so constructed as to give
the Times decided advantage over the Irish
members. And finally, 1t is well known that
government spies, paid out Of the national
exchequer, were the most prominent wit
nesses called by the Times to implcate Par
nell and the other Nationalist leaders in
dynamite plots and other lawless schemes.
Thus there exists strong train of cir.
cumstantial evidence connecting the govern
ment with the Times, and recent develop.
ments in London show that it has made a
powerful impression on the British public.

Doubtless If the British electorate could
get at the Salisbury government they would
make short work of it in their present state
of mind. But unfortunately Parliament has
several years to run, unless it is dissolved
which is not likely to be done for the very
simple reason that the Tories fear to submit
their policy to a general election. OF course
If the ministry should be defeated in the
Commons an appeal to the county would
follow, but that defeat can be brought about
only by union between the Gladstonians
and the Liberal-unionsts, something that is
practically out Of the question inasmuch as
the Liberal-unionists have as much TO fear
from general election as the Tory members
curious scheme for helping the farmers
was introduced into the Legislature of On
tario the other day. In brief it was propo-
sltion that the government borrow money of
the capitalists of Great Britain at 81 or per
cent. and lend it to Ontario farmers at
slight advance. The author of the PROPOSE
ton pointed out that the farmers are now in
the hands of loan companies, who demand
per cent interest for all advances He con-
tended that if change did not speedily take
place and farmers get relief the result would
be that thousands Of farmers would leave
Ontario for other districts where they could
make better living.

Of humanity, pure and simple. 1t was a
question whether or not sick and wounded
men and women should have a decent bed or
should be stretched out on a table at the po-

representatives worked and voted for the
hospital and the public are grateful to them
for 1t. If anybody in the House or Senate
from any part Of the State opposed this hu-
name measure from spite,-to wreak his ven

My boy, aged nine years, has been troubled all
his life with very bad humor, which appeared all
over his body in small, red blotches, with dry
white scab on them. Last year he was worse than
ever being covered with scabs from the top of his
