AS MR. SWARK SEES TIT.

MT. Swank, who knows good deal about iron, is out against the demand of New Eng land iron manufacturers for change in the rates of duty on coal and scrap iron and pig iron. He says that it is false pretence that ore, coal and iron from Canada would help the iron manufacturers in New England, for the reason that there Is no iron ore in the Dominion of Canada that any pig iron nanu- faoturer in New England would care to im- port even if free from duty; that very little Nova Scotia coke is suitable for blast furna- ces, and none of it equal to the best Ameri- can coke, and that 1t is nothing less than humbug to pretend that the pig iron indus- try of New England would be benefited by free ore and coke.
 MT. Swank further declares that it is a
 mis-statement to say that the iron industry
 of New England is declining; that, while in
 1880 there were produced here 160, ,799 tons
 of rolled iron and steel, in 1888 the produce
 ton was 179, 927 tons, and that the i'll success
 of the declining works has been due to the continuance of old methods, to their poor location, and to their want of adaptability to the demands of modern business. He be- lieves that New England has pro6ted won- derfully by the reduction in the cost of pig iron from $40 to less than $20 per ton, and that most of our manufacturers are vel aware of that fact; but if they are not, they must take notice that the removal of dutiet upon pig iron and scrap iron would certainly be accompanied by the removal of duties or imported products. "The people of thil l country" he says, twill not permit tariff schedule to be made for the sole benefit O l one class of producers. Reduce the duty ol | pig iron and down will come the duties ol | everything made from it. If we are ever |, have free trade in this country, we will hav plenty of it, and New England will get it | full share"

 If New York is going to have the Worlds fair in 1899, and of course she is, Central park is the place for it. The park wouldn't be seriously hurt, and it Is by far the best and most convenient place for the great exhi- bition.
 A recent report of United States Consul Hotohkiss at Ottawa shows that Canada last year exported to the United States merchan. disc to the value of s42, ,572, ,0s5, while the the exports to Great Britain were $42, ,094, 9s4, an excess of s477,0S1 in favor of the United States. On the other hand, the im- ports from the United States were $9, ,000, ,000 in excess of those from Great Britain. Can- ada can afford to be friendly with us. At special election in Minneapolis the other day the new ballot reform law of Ain- nesota was tried for the first time, and 1t 1 worked with entire smoothness and success. Its working, even by inexperienced voters, was not attended by any confusion or fric- ten; the time consumed in marking and de- positinK the ballots was not 80 long as many had feared it might be; and there was no evidence at all of the ''cumbrousness" which the opponents of electoral reform have as- sured us would condemn the law in practi- cal operation. All this, of course, is en- couraging for other communities that are soon to try the same thing themselves.
 Mr. George Muller, who is travelling and preaching among the Himalayas, has written the fftieth annual report of his famous orphanage at Bristol, England. Sinoe the in. stitution was founded 1t has received and spent more than $5, 500 900; more than 1os-

Children preparing for confirmation are for bidden to take part at all. Those intrusted with the moral and religious training of young people are enjoined to prevent danc- ing, and to substitute children's games. The opinion is expressed that nothing has been done in the young Kaiser's reign that will ex- cite such opposition in Germany as this.
 There has just been published in Europe . letter which was written to M. Aksakoff, the great Panslavist, by the present Czar when he had just become, through the death of his elder brother, heir to the throne. It runs as follows: must repeatedly tell you that am not at all satisfied with my position. It is too brilliant for my character, which is only contented with peace and family life. Court life does not suit me, and I suffer daily at being compelled to associate with the men at court. But I cannot accustom myself to judge their miserable actions coolly, and yet all this is done solely with the object of re. ceiving outward distinctions, which, accord- ing to my opinion, are not worth eopeck. I feel unhappy in the society of these men, whom would not suffer near me if they were lackeys. But, alasi they occupy the highest offices. In one word, dear friend, ] must acknowledge that in losing my brother suffered an unutterable loss. I am not suited for the high position which fate has ordained for me, for if as Grown Prince the burden appears unbearable, how much heavi- CT will that be which in the future shall have to bearl This, dear friend, is the great secret which have long ago wished to im- part to you. deem it superHuous to beg you not to disclose it to anybody, as you will readily conceive what the consequences might be for me.

TRE BOARD OF EDUCATION.


 The first meeting of the Board of Educa- tion after the election took place last even- ing. It was expected to be interesting, and it proved to be so. There was radical change in the committee on schools, Mir. O'Brien being made chairman, and two of the new men, Messrs. Howarth and Adler, make up the rest of the committee. A com mittee to look into the free text book matter was appointed, and the other committees were skillfully made up. No action was taken concerning the appointment of Com. mittee on Supplies, but there will, 1t is ex- pected, be one later.
 Now the board is ready to go to work. II has efficient committees, and it is hoped that they will not be secretive ones, and that the rest of the board and the public will be al- lowed to fully know what each committee dooa

The Hymn Fitted the Occasion.

From the Kansas City Star.I
 A good many people went to the Inde- pendence Avenue Methodist church last Sunday morning without umbrellas. Dur ing the service a storm came up, and toward the end good deal of thunder rolled omin- ously. When the last hymn was given out the clouds had become very heavy and the church :was dark. The preacher read the first stanza. When he commenced the sec' ond loud burst of thunder stirred the peo. ple's anxiety to the moving point, and about ! dozen of them got up and started toward l the door. The rustic of the departing an6 ! the noise of the thunder did not prevent them from hearing the message of Godspeed which the minister gave to them in the last two lines of the stanZa:
 Blessed be the tempest kind the storm, Which drives us nearer home.
