The trustees of the Standard
Oil Trust have voted to dissolve
the trust. This is in consequence
of decision of the Supreme Court
of Ohio. This is a gigantic insti-
tuition, the combined capital being
$95,0OO,0O0. Whether this should
be cause of rejoicing to the gem
eral public or not we are not pre-
pared to say. No doubt their power
has been used in harmful ways,
but the price of oil has been cheap
ened, on account of the economy
of concentrated management.
The general public have been pc
.cuniarily benefited, while compet-
ing enterprises have been driven
to the wall.

Representative Durborow. OF
Illinois, has introduced bill for
certain reforms in spelling. The
bill provides that i'm all documents
that arc printed by tho government
''ue" shall be left off all such words
as demagogue, prologue and so
forth, 40 that tLey shall bo dema-
Cog and prolog also that me shall
be left off all such words as pro-
gramme ,oriiiamme and other words
having like termination. Many
other changes in the same line are
provided for in the proposed meas
ure. IL is in the interest of econ
omy and convenience, IA we'll IA
simplicity. The newspapers can
do more to bring about these
changes than Congress can do by
law, although n law would have
some effect. If a change is dosir-
able let the newspapers commence
it's adoption ard soon the change
will bo made. For instance, many
newspapers are dropping the "th"
and "rd" in dates they say March
20 instead of March 10Th. 1t will
not bo long until the change will
be effected. IL will be great saw.
ing and there is no reason why n
change should not be made.
But it is an open question wheth-
or or not il would be best TO sim
plify our spelling. Our language
is very peculiar in that respect,
and bowildering to foreigner, as
for example, dough, tough, cough.
But is not learning TO spell n good
mental discipline? The dead Ian
guages and the higher mathematics
are studied not so much for use -
for mental discipline. That is the
aim in education. Perhaps the
discipline acquired in learning TO
spell has contributed much to the
exceptional mental vigor of Eng
lish speaking people.

reduction on money order fees.
They also recommended that n
partial indemnity be paid for lost

decided to advise the people TO
use stamped envelopes, rather than
stamps and envelopes separate.
We once wished TO send com
munication by the Chevalier, and
were informed by the officer in
command of the boat, that he
could take it if it was inclosed in
stamped envelope, but not other
wise. If he should carry it in an
ordinary envelope even though it
was stamped he would lay himself
liable to a heavy fine.

five minutes. If this is done, then
after awhile express matter will
