A series of dynamite explosions in Par is has awakened widespread alarm and has led the government into vigorous az gressive action. So far, by happy chance, no lives have been lost, but a number of people have been severely injured and something like panic prevailed for a short time among the official people, some of whom, as magistrates, have been com pelled to pass upon the crimes of Anarch- ists. The police of Paris possess very thorough knowledge of the residents of the great city at every moment and they are always fully informed as to the whereabouts and doings of the colony of foreign Anarchists. The government has punished the whole body of Anarch- ists for the recent disorders by expelling from the colony 40 of the leading mem- bers of the Anarchist colony in that city. The offenders, however, are natives, not foreigners and in securing Ravachol the police laid their hands on the responsible criminal. He has made confession which clears up the mystery of the ex- plosions. A bill has just passed the French Senate making the use of dyna mite for unlawful purposes a crime pun ishable with death.

If editors were not kind hearted and generous, as well as philosophical, they would not be so accommodating; they well know they cannot please every one and they know they will be ''cussed if they do and be cussed if they don't'' publish all that transpires, therefore their generous nature often prompts them to sacrifice their own interest or business and suppress items in order to please or shield individuals to whom they are under no obligations whatever.

A section of train e on the New Eng land road in charge of Conductor Norris met with an accident at Hawleyville at 45 o'clock, last week Wednesday after noon. Part of the train was being start ed from a siding onto the main track, but an open switch permitted 10 freight cars to roll off the track along the ties. The cars were turned upside down and badly damaged, while the track was torn up for 200 feet. Passengers were transferred around the wreck to train 2S. The track was cleared at l o'clock. The milk train on the Housatonic road was crossing the tracks of the New England and train 67, which was approaching the Housatonic, could not be stopped. The operator in the signal tower saw that collision was inevitable and turned the switch which derailed the New England train and To- comotive and plunged the cars down the embankment. The engineer, fireman and head brakeman jumped and were on- ly slightly injured. Passengers were transferred around the wreck in nine minutes.

The steamship Missouri sailed from New York with cargo of flour for the relief of the starving Russian peasants on March b for the Baltic port of Lbau. The Indiana, from Philadelphia, bent on the same mission, preceded it and was received with an outbreak of unmistaka- ble gratitude. It is due to the energy of the Weekly Northwestern Miller of Minneapolis that the Missouri carried out six million pounds of flour, accom- panied by MT Edgar, the editor, who will personally supervise its, distribu- tion. Although largely made up of the gifts of the millers of the Northwest, the Missouri's cargo represents the vol untary contributions of not less than p States and Territories, contributions brought from all points of the country free of charge by the different railroads. The use of the ship was gift from it's owners. The chamber of commerce of New York, on the day before the sailing of the Missouri, filled up the last availa- ble space in the steamship with addi- tional flour.

England, with her 37 100000 people, consumed in 1881 almost exactly the same amount of liquor that the United States, with 62,00O,000 people, consumed in 1891. All English statisticians reach ed the conclusion that e124 1000, 900 was substantially the liquor bill of Great Britain. When we remember that at the time of the census, 10 years ago, the United States spent only $l0o,000, ,O00 for churches, art and music, only $100, ,0OO,- GOO more for schools, only a third Sl00;- 100000 for books and papers and little more than s300,0OO,000 for household furniture, we see how much the nation spends for it's demoralization compared with what it spends for it's civilization. We belive that no one's zeal in the tenn perance cause will be lessened because he accepts the following as the liquor bill of the United States:
 Cost of liquor at wholesale $500 900 900 National and local taxes l50 0O0,0OO Cost of ofretailing (230,000 places, loo,Ooo,ooo

The Canadian newspapers are repeat ing the familiar complaint over the exo- dus of the French from Quebec to the United States. This exodus is said to be larger than ever, this Spring and to em- brace larger number of families than usual. It is complained also that the emigrants go to stay, not as few years ago for temporary residence in the States until money could be earned to keep the returning emigrant in comfort in his old age. The drain now is conced- ed to be steady and permanent and is claimed by some to more than offset the increase of population in the province from natural causes and immigration. It is also said that the feeling in favor of annexation to the United States in the province grows with this emigration and that, eventually, the French popula- tion of Quebec will be annexationists.
 
 It is better, certainly, that a man who has his millions, wrongfully obtained, should spend some of them on the eleva- tion and improvement of society than that he should add to crime cupidity and impenetrable selfishness. But in the sight of God and of all just men, evil in one line cannot be atoned by good in another. The wFecker of industries, the man who grinds the face of the poor, the gambler who has ruined homes and des- plated communities for his stakes, can never make it right viii, Cod until he makes it right with those he has wrong ed.
