AN OBJECT LESSON.

The Lexow investigation into the
municipal affairs Of New York City
has disclosed a state of rottenness
that is absolutely appalling. 1t has
resulted in the unearthing of unpar-
allied corruption. What is true there
is true elsewhere. Modern political
management has degenerated into a
scramble for the almighty dollar;
government has been wholly lost sight
of in an effort to acquire wealth.
There can be no change without a
change of parties and a change of con-
troll. Until that take place fraud and
corruption will be in the ascendant
and the end will not be far off.

We regret to notice that Minnesota's

this new mode of getting at the hid

HERE are few incidents showing
that government ownership of public
utilities not only cheapens the cost but
increases wages:
Since the government of Hungary
bought the railroads, one can ride six
miles for cent, while wages of en-
ployes have been doubled. In Belgium
goyernmet ownership has doubled
wages and halved fares and freights.
In Germany one can ride four miles
for a cent, yet wages are 100 per cent
higher than when they were owned by
corporations Belgium roads pay an
annual profit to the government of
$4l 600, GOO; German roads pay $780,

the winter is so severe that wolves are
unusually fierce. The other day al

Gold Nuggets.

The structure Of gold nuggets was
the subject of paper recently read be-
fore the New South Wales Royal socie-
ty by Professor Liverbridge. Among
other facts stated was the popularity OF
such nuggets, ON being cut through or
sliced and polished and then etched by
chlorine water, of exhibiting well
marked crystalline structure closely re-
sembling the figures shown by most me-
tallic meteorites. On heating such mug
gets in Bunsen burner blebs or blisters
form ON both the polished and unpol-
ished surfaces, and on still more strong
" heating these i'll some cases burst
with sharp reports, and pieces OF gold
are projected with considerable vic.
lence. AS no explosions have been OBJ
served ON dissolving or eating away the
crusts of these hlisters by chlorine wa
ter it is thought that the. biebs may
probably be due to the eyaporization Of
some liquid or solid substance. Further,
in slicing some nuggets, scattered gran
ules of quartz were met with inside, al
though quite invisible outside. At first
it was supposed that such explosions
might be due to the quartz, but the gas
in some instances continued to issue
from the burst bleb-where the aper.
ture formed was small-and forced the
Bunsen fame out into lateral, just as II
urged by blowpipe.
