RUSSIA, warned by fearful eX-
perience Of the dreadful effects of
the Unrestricted sale of intOXicants
by private individuals to miners
in the mining districts, has decided
that the sales of Intoxicating
liquors in these districts shall be
in the hands Of government Off
cials. If this new system of deal
ing out spirits prove an antIdote
to the fearful drunkenness pre-
Vailing in some of the mining dis
tricts of the Russian Empire it will
be an rvangcl Of mercy, cutting
off at one stroke the fruitful cause
of more than one half of the misery
that prevails among these unfOr-
Inmates. 1t is by such acts as this
that the Gar will best prove his
claim to the title of "Little
Father"

THE ultra Tory organs in Canada
are ripping mad over the sale of
the Nova Scotia coal fields to an
American syndicate. The vast eX-
pense at which Halifax has been
forfeited has been incurred for the
purpose of protecting those same
coal fields, and it is not with any
pleasure that they are seen vanish
ing into the open nav of an Amer
lean company. John will have to

that it saves the state too frequent

men beyond that time at which
fOrbearance ceases to be a virtue.
