and CriSpi's skill in welding diverse po-
litical elements, minus Crispi's reckless
audacity in finance. By the exercise
of this rare combination of quail
tiles he was enabled to set up and
maintain a system of government
that was seemingly stable and strong,
but which was artificial in its every aspect,
dependent on his personality and presence
for its continuance, and the extinction OF
which must almost inevitably be the re-
suit of his death.
The Court" at Ottawa, tinsei imita-
ton of the waning splendors of st. James,
was one Of the devices, in the nature OF
things ephemeral, by which the willy Pre-
mier braced a political influence and control
which by this sign he confessed as requir-
ing every conceivable ingenious expedient
to fortify il. Through the social influences
and privileges attaching to this tawdry re-
dex of royalty, he was enabled to stay or
offset the rising tide of Liberalism. The
steady decline of such influences In the
mother country, and the jealousy with
which they are regarded there, and the
growing disposition and tendency to cir
cumscribe them by curtailing appropria-
tons for their support, leave no room to
doubt that, as a consequence of Sir Johns
death, this whole ediice of sham royalty,
this entire artificial organization, this
pinchback burlesque of regal glory viii
collapse or take ghostly departure.
There is no one to take the dead Pre-
mier's place. His Tory government was
simply Macdonaldlsm. Without him to
organize and lead it there is little proba-
bility that his late following will seriously
oppose the march of Liberalism. 1t is
therefore probable that, so far as Canada
and the Canadians are concerned. closer
trade relations with the United States and
ultimate annexation have been questions
of serious discussion and division for the
last time. Practically these have been re-
mitted to exclusive discussion henceforth
on this side of the line. But on this side
it has been by no means settled, nor on
this side win Sir Johns death materially
influence the settlement. The more prud-
ent and far-seeing of our statesmen and peo-
pie will prefer to wait.

The class of lawyers who used to
gather a revenue from the deluded
''heirs" to imaginary estates in England
seem to have been turning their atten-
ton to New York city as more profit
able field. The old colonial grants of
land and ancient transfers by lease and
otherwise enable them to raise a cloud
of dust over the title to property which
has become of vast value, and to lead
the supposed heirs of owners of hun
dred years ago to imagine that they can
recover many millions if they viii assess
themselves for legal expenses.
The claimants of the Edwards estate
dream of $500, 600, 900 or so on lower
Broadway, and western parson lays
claim to modest 800, 600, 900 on the

of the preposterous claims which the
lawyers WHO pocket the assessments
encourage

that are excited, the constantly disap
pointed expectations and the worri-
ment that are caused by this class of

man at least was little impressed with

WORK OF THE sPEcTRoscoPE.
In his recent address as President
of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science, DR.. VIM.
Higgins stated that it is now some
thirty years since the spectroscope
gave US for the first time certain
knowledge of the nature of the heav
emily bodies, and revealed the funda-
mental fact that terrestrial matter is
not peculiar to the solar system, but
is common to all the stars visible to
US. This instrument has in this
time analysed the stars, though it
has thus far failed to interpret the
remarkable spectrum of the Aurora
Borealis, and to teach much of the
physical and chemical nature of the
suns corona. 1t has shown reasons
for arranging the stars in a series in
which the different temperatures
seem to be indicated and to denote
different stages of evolution, our
sun occupying place near the mid
die of the series. It has given us
means of determining that some
stars are approaching and some re-
ceding in the line of sight, and of
measuring the rate, though the near
est star is so remote that its ap-
proach at the rate of 100 miles per
second would not increase its light
one-fortieth in a century. The mo-
tions of about fifty stars have been
thus determined, with an accuracy
of about an English mile per sec
ond. Indeed, a number of measures
of the star Arcturus have been made
by Keller with a variation of not more
than six-tenths of a mile per second,
these being determinations of the
motion of a remote sun by means of
ight-waves which have been nearly
200 years upon their journey.
Nebulae have been seen to move at
about the same rate as the stars
from two to twenty-seven miles per
second, and in one case nearly forty
miles. Photography, which has
rendered wonderful help to
the astronomer in other ways, has
aided in these researches.
