opuosit.ou to. New Law.

The opposition of the German stock
and produce exchanges TO the new bourse
law prohibiting future transactions and
imposing other restrictions upon hourse
trading, was the subject of discussion at
the special ministerial council which was
held on Wednesday.
The meeting was called To order by
DR.. Won Boetticher, vice president OF the
Council OF Ministers, who presided until the
emperor suddenly made his appearance and
took the chair, which he occupied for
two hours. On Thursday another meeting
of the council was held with the imperial
chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, in the chair
The calling of these two meetings, which
occurred only twenty-four hours apart,
are clearly indicative of the gravity OF this
trouble as it is regarded by the ministry,
and the discussion OF the subject by the
ministers was in the direction of deyiSing
means to overcome it.
Nothing is Known of the proceedings OF
the meeting of the council at which the
empeI or presided, but it 5 known that the
meeting presided over by Prince Hohenlohe
took into consideration the effects of the
resolution passed by the Berlin produce eX
change, declaring that that organization
would continue business under the new
law only in the capacity of free associa-
tol of traders, each tranSacting business
at his own offices, but having common as
sembly rooms for the purpose Of exchang-
ing prices n the building kLoWn as DIid-
sells Chamber.
1t is understood that the council were
unable to decide, or at all events did not
decide upon any plan of meeting the op-
position OF the dealers the new law.
Object to Resolutions.
The members of the produc. eNch ranges,
apart from protesting against the sup
preston Of future deals, object to the
sentatives OF Agrarian interests upon the
bourse committee, at least two of whom
must be present when the prices Of grams,
malt, sugar, rape oils, spirits, and certain
kinds Of produce are generally fixed.
Besides objecting to these restrictions
there are numerous other regulations to
which the Boursiers take eXception-all of
them bearing the impress of comomn aim
to assist the Agrarans by preventing bourse
operators and dealers from depressing
prices.
These regulations give the bill the char
acter of an entirely new experiment in
economy, and outside the ranks OF the

Bubonic Plague in Bombay.

Advices received here from Bombay show
that the bubonic plague, which is supposed
to have been imported into that city from
Hong Kong, where / I ragged with great vio-
Ience about year ago, is rapidly extend
ing among the natives, who, thus far, have
been the principal sufferers. Thousands of
the residents have fled from the city, but
their exodus is more than counterbalanced
by the arrival of large numbers OF victims
of the famine, who are pouring into the
city in the hope Of either obtaining work
or of a. least finding among the charitable
relief from the pangs Of starvation.
These, weakened by want of food, quick
ly fall victims to the disease, which thus
far has baffled the efforts of the physi-
clans to control it. The sanitary conditions
OF the native quarters also tends to the
spread of the disease, bIt the natives, with
their usual fataliSm, are not to be taught
the benefits of cleanliness in their habi-
cations, and accept the plague as a vista
ton from their gods. II is thought that
unless sanitary regulations can be en-
forced by the civil authorities it will be
necessary to call upon the military for
assistance in compelling the natives to
observe health laws.
Although the British revenues are in
flourishing condition, it will tax the inge-
nuity of Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chan
cellor OF the exchequer, TO produce

The increase in the army and navy cSti-
mates is calculated at e2 $50 900. and the
increase in the education grants at f60O,-

will be required to meet the expenses of

lures in connection with South Africa.

Though the commission on the financial
relat' ons between Great Britain and Ire
land conceded in its report that Ireland
was overtaxed, the English tories refuse
asa rule % acceptthe report as final. They
do not admit that Ireland pays more than
her fair share of the imperial expenses,
and many figures are produced to prove
that the contrary is the case.
One Tory organ says that the per capita
tax in Ireland is far below that of Great
Britain. it shows that the per capita con-
tributioD 10 the imperi0l revenues is for
Englshnen 60 As, while for Irishmen it
is only 81 S., a proportion sufficiently
large in favor of Ireland. it holds, to admit
of no argument as To overtaxation. 1t is
added that of the amount expended yearly
for imperial purposes Ireland contributes
e2 900 900, while England's share is

More About Dancing.

We are in receipt Of an Interesting article
written by Mrs. J v Thompson. in which
she bitterly denounees the amusement of
dancing. The article is TOO long for US to
print in its entirety. but we take such parts
as contains her views as TO its wickedness.
For the foundatisn Of her accusations she
makes the following statement:
at is wicked to dance for various reasons,
inasmueh as the Bible denonnces dancing
though not directly forbiiding it. Is not
such denuncia,ion decisive evidence that it
is wrong? II has been proved by experi>
ence to be destructive of good morals. This
result alone ought TO be argument sufficient
to settle the matter in the minds of those
who prize good name above moral corrup.
tion. In connection with this we cannot re-
frain from alluding to the alarming yet true
fact that large majority Of women WHO
have lost their virtue must attribute their
ruin to the dancing party"
Whether that last assertion is true or not
we have no means of knowing. In cities
where VINE or other liquors are thought to
a necessary adjunct to dancing. we presume
it is in great measure true. Further along
the lady speaks of the position Of the church
in regard to dancing:
Declaring thing wrong does not neces-
ssriy make it wrong; but as regards dane
ing we regard i, as a crying evil. Ii must.
however, be conceded that the degree of this
evil is governed to great extent by the cir
cumstances attendant upon each particular
occasion. The church opposes dancing.
Why should she courtsnance sin: Her pro-
test. however. is no, c,ered in a spirit re-
strictive Of enjoyment, but is done to place
herself on record against the evil" "
Among the best things cited by Mrs.
Thompson is the dancing Of David before the
Ark. aud asking modern dancers to dance iu
the spirit that prompted David to dance.
Her final conclusion is this:
"AlcshOl is the spirit Of beverages, SO sex
is the spirit Of dances. Let the sexes dance
separately and dancing would 60 out Of
fashion very soon. ParlOr dancing is dam
gerous; tipping and psrlOr dancing Sow the
wind and beth reap the whirlwind. Put
dancing in the crucible. apply the acids,
weigh il in the scales Of reason. morality
aud religion, aud it will be found wsniing. ="
We would have been glai to have pub
lished the lady's essay entire. but lack Of
space prevented. We are slways willing to
give anyone hearing as far as possible. We
wish to say, however, that we care very little
whether dancing is veted up or voted dswn,
but rashy church organizations permit dane
ing. and 50 lOsg as they do !, is not likely to
be veiei down. When time aud space per-
Dit we may fSr'hsr discuss the matter.
