said injury, unless, by reason of them, he is
totally helpless or nearly so, as to require
the constant aid and attendance of another
person, for which degree of disability the
rate of $50 month can now be granted. 1t
will be seen, he says, that the pensioner in
such Case actually receives nothing for
his said injury us the loss of his hand clone
entitled him to the rate $500, which is
the highest allowable rate under the
law for both disabilities. Numerous other
instances, he says, could be cited to show
the unfairness in rates now provided by law,
and he thinks this statute should be amended

Ties which are shown to have been incident

Bad Days for Hereditary Legislators.

Inc support which one persistent agitator
VIII sometimes bring to a hold measure is
surprising seven years ago Mr.. Labouchere,
the English Radical leader, made a motion
In the House of Commons that the hereditary
principle of the House of Lords be abolished
No other English politician of prominence
dared support 1t. In country where hered-
itary privilege counts for so much, the idea
OF abolishing the one feature of the House
OF Lords that has most distinguished it as
Coordinate branch of the government of the
realm was supremacy audaciOus. English
men shrank from it with superstitious awe.
But they have gradually become more tamil
liar with the idea, and with this familiarity
mas come truer appreciation Of the defects
ola system of hereditary legislators. They
have realized it to be system under which
the Marquis of Aylesford is an hereditary
legislator, although he is such an unutter-
aoly mean specimen of humanity that the
Jockey Club expelled him for unfair prac-
tees In betting. So is the Duke of MARI
borough by right of birth a lawmaker of
England, although he has NOT, unless re-
Gently, risen to the dignity of law-obser-
yer. These short comings of the aristocracy
have aided the pertinacity of Mr. Labouchere,
and last week when the regular motion to
abolish the hereditary principle came no in
the Commons, it was backed by the whole
Official leadership Of the Liberal party and
beaten by only Al votes in a house of 361
Even the Conservatives opposed the bin
with little spirit, and it was remarked that
no Tory spoke of the House of Lords save
with an apology and the expression of
hope that some way would soon be found to
Improve its composition and character. Mr..
LaDouchere made the principle speech in
favor Of the motion, and turned upon here
ditary privilege that most dangerous of all
fires, fire Of ridicule he said that
plebeians, when elevated to the House of
Lords, at once set to work like the Chinese
TO ennoble their ancestors and be illustrated
this by very telling example The great
brewer Guinness was made peer, because
he brewed excellent stout, and it was
thought that an honor to him would please
the middle classes. But so soon as he was
elevated to the peerage he discovered that

The Halifax Herald is firmly persuaded
that its home port will get the line of subsi-
died steamers, and that it will get them ex-
clIsively. The Toronto Globe, which de-
clared that such line of steamers could not

denounced as "tfaitorous Sheet" and the

better than let their subsidized steamers call

better nor so well at a remote port like Hall

A WELCOME MOVEMENT.
New York Press

The laudable movement of the New York
Central road to restrict the running of
freight trains on SUNDAY is leading to SINH
lar action elsewhere. The Grand Trunk and
the Boston & Maine, both large railroad
systems, have ceased running Sunday freight
ehandse ece eb OF Ss mo rnpd
transportation possible. The desire to re-
strict Sunday work to this basis is rapidly
extending to other lines, and we may yet
hope TO see a general agreement to limit this
class of Sunday labor. Public sentiment
will eagerly welcome the change, because it
is step toward the proper observance of
the Sabbath. 1t cannot but work to the ad-
vantage of the laborer, physically and men

1t is reported that the French government
has decided to introduce u bill into the As
senbly to aid in the construction of the Pan
anna canal. Congress, at its last session,
practically notified that government that a
movement of that kind would be looked upon
by this country as an unfriendly act, and
very broadly limited that we would not toler-
ate the creation Of condition which would
be likely to lead to the establishment Of
French power on the Isthmus. Such a CON
ditiCn would evidently be created il the
French government should undertake to fin
ish the Panama canal; for it is hardly con-
ceivable that government would invest its
money in an enterprise unless it intended to
retain control Of that enterprise under all
circumstances. In case of foreign war it
might become necessary as a means of de-
fence for the United States to seize and close
this canal. Should the canal be constructed
by the French government, such seizure
would undoubtedly involve us in war with
France.

One of the most important pieces of news
at the convention of the Baptists at Boston
was the gift of six hundred thousand dollars
for college In Chicago. J. ID. Rockefeller,
the president of the Standard Oil Trust is
the donor. The gift will retrieve the mis-
take which was made with Chicago Univer-
sty, upon which the Union Mutual InSur-
ance Company of this city lately forecosed
its mortgage. The poor management of that
college had discouraging effect upon the
educational work of the Baptist denomina-
ton in the West; but Mr.. Rockafeler's gift
is certainly princely enough to turn the tide
in the right direction.

The surgeons who made the autopsy of
Bishop have been arrested and placed under
bonds. The probability is that Bishop was
dead before the surgeons began their work,
but if they arefnot chargeable with murder
they are chargeable with unseemly haste.
Bishop had not been dead four hours before
they began to dissect his body. Probably
their haste was due to the fear that if they
awaited the arrival Of his mother and wife
they would be forbidden to make any autopsy
at all. But there were no mysterious circum-
stances attending his death that made an
autopsy necessary, and the only motive thai
prompted it was curiosity, and perhaps a
feeling that it might develop something in
the interest Of science. The indignation OF
Bishops wife and mother seems perfectly
justifiable, and the action of the authorities
is eminently proper.

Mr.. Erastus Wiman still continues to be
the bette nOir of the Tory press of the Domin-
Ion, and hatred Of him seems to them the
highest evidence of loyalty to the Dominion
government, while tolerance of him is looked
upon as synonymous with treason The st.
John Sun quotes him as saying in his Port
land speech that commercial union would
pave the way to political union; and appar-
emily considers that treassnable utteranee.
We have never regarded Mr.. Wiman's COM
mercial union scheme as practicable; but we
do not think he is fairly open to the charge
Of having said anything in his Portland
speech that reflected upon Canadian loyalty.
On the contrary, his tribute to Canadian
loyalty was of the most glowing description.
Indeed, we are inclined to think under his
description it assumed an intensity and
strength that no not really belong to it.

The Samoan conference is proceeding
quietly and, judging from the comments of
the Berlin press, in way that Americans
have no reason to complain of. So far the
representatives Of the United States have
certainly held their own with the German
diplomats, if not got the better of them.
Undoubtedly, the firm attitude of our State
Department has had much to do with the
success of the negotiations thus far, fact
that suggests that the fisheries negotiations
with England might have terminated more
successfully had our State Department at
that time been less disposed to yield what
American fishermen conceived to be their
