A Midnight Adventure.

An East High street resident was awakened
the other night by hearing noise as though
some one were forcing an entrance into the
house down stairs. Hastily securing revol-
yer he repaired to the scene. but sa nothing.
When he returned upstairs he found that it
was lucky that no intruder had been encoun-
tered as his revolver was empty of cartridges,
and in the morning he also made the dis
covery that the supposed intruder was a pan
that had fallen down containing embryo
buckwheat cakes, and which like the revol-.
yer was found empty after the adventure.

AS the production Of India increased
the sale of American wheat decreased.
The cheapest source of supply will al
ways. furnish the market. Prices always
depend on the ratio of supply and de-
mand:
It is questionable, then, whether the
high prices Of all articles Of daily use
will bring good to the greatest number.
Every person must have bread. To
raise the price of bread will certainly
aid those who have wheat to sell, but 1t
will injure the still greater class of those
who have no wheat to sell but must buy
-four. -
Now, the trouble is there has been too
great activity. Everything was strain
ed and when the business fabric began to
give it: gave all around. All financial
confidence was lost, money was with
drawn from business and the banks and
privately boarded. -
High prices and good times do not
necessarily go together, ANY more than
high prices of necessaries and high
wages go together. Wages are always
/ the, last to advance, and there can never
be real good times without fair wages.

london Christian Herald has under
taken to enlighten the world as to the
Future Wonders Of Prophecy" that will
occur, according to his calculation, be-
tween the years 1896 and 1908, and he
sums them up in this wise: There will
be great conflicts in 1896 or 1897, causing
a confederacy of the natives, a convenant
between a Syrian king and the Jews for
seven years on April 4, 1901, an ascen-
sion of 144,0O0 Christians about March
IL, 1903, an English and American fiery
ordeal and anti-C Christian persecution
for 1850 days from August 20, 1904, and
Christ's second advent on earth and per-
sonal reign over nations for 1000 years
ON April &c. 1903. The precise exact
ness Of the dates of these events may ex-
pose Rev Mr. Baxter to criticism on the
score Of chronological accuracy, never
theless it is not at all improbable that
his Wonders of Prophecy may be inter-
esting to a certain class of religionists
whose conceptions are as vague as the
ideas Of the confused querist who seeks
to know who is what, and which is
whereof But the great majority will
have grave doubts as to the mantle Of
prophecy falling on Mr.. Baxter's Shout
ders.

IRISH LAND BILL.

An "Irishman,' in a late issue Of the
Nation, writes instructively and to the
point on the pending Irish land bill
No session of parliament passes without
some consideration Of the Irish, land
question. Indeed, this question, will
never be settled until the peasants Of
Ireland own their land. The inpover-
ishment OF Ireland is directly due to a
system OF absentee landlordism created
by conquest and preserved by force.
Take away the land from the farmers
of this country and put the title to It in
foreigners, and you can easily picture
the misery that would be sure to follow.
The land question is at the bottom Of
Irish poverty. Give Ireland her own
parliament, and have the title to Ire
lands domain In exacting English land
lords, and ireland will still continue to
10 poverty stricken. Different causes
have been assigned for Irish poverty

PRICES AND GOOD TlnES

Among people in general there Is a
great desire to see high prices. They
believe that high prices are indicative Of
good times. High prices, they say,
mean plenty of work and good wages,
and consequently a wide distribution Of
wealth. We are not SO certain in regard
to the correctness of this reasoning. We
doubt very much that high prices for the
necessities of life are a benefit to the
greatest number of the people. Many
money theorists assert that low prices
have been the cause Of the depression of
the past two years. Yet anyone who
stops to think must see that low prices
are not causes, but effects-effects of
over production.
The immense industrial developments
Of the past SO years all over the world
has overstocked the markets. New con-
tinents have been developed and rail-
roads and canals and increased facill-
ties for ocean traffic have carried
the products to the markets OF
the world. At last the mar
kets have been surfeited and low prices
are the result. It must be remembered,
too. that since the F'rance-Prussina war
the world has had no great war which
took large numbers of men from the field
of production. There has been nothing
to interrupt. the constant production of
manufactured articles of all kinds. In
time gone by there were periods when
large numbers of men were engaged in
war of exploration. This, of course, less
ened production and increased consump-
ton. OF late years there have been no
wars. no pestileneces, no destructive
floods or fires, nothing to interrupt peo-
pie in the ineessant struggle for wealth.
During these years the requirements for
living have increased, the wants of the
people have multiplied, but the Increase
was not equal to the increased produc-
ton, hence period Of stagnation.
In the last few weeks a marked adj
vance in the prices OF the necessaries
of life, such as meats and flour, has TAX
en- place. The question which offers 1T
self to the mind Of the shrewd business
man is: Does this advance result from
natural causes or is it the result of spec
ulation? The general opinion seems to
/ be. that the demands of the markets are
at last nearly equal to the production. +
"a mistake, then, to suppose that. gopd
times and active business mean high
prices. If the stock On hand is exces-
|ssive there can bel az higElhi pric Re

The Siattery excitement did some good

and brought out so many facts about
that class that the people Of the country

well for them to know, says The Mirror.
It is useless to try to work the terrible
disclosure" business in the large cities

where now. Too many Portestants send
their SONS to Catholic colleges and their
daughters to Catholic converts to make
1t possible to deceive these parents In
regard to the institutions In question.
Moreover, hundreds Of Protestants of the
present generation were educated in
Catholic institutions themselves and
know as much about them as Catholics
dc. The general sentiment Of these per-
Sens toward the houses where they were
educated and trained for life is one Of
the deepest gratitude and affection, and
