The recent loss of three lives by
the drifting of disabled sailboat
over the falls of Niagara has led to
the suggestion that safety cable be
stretched across the Niagara River
at point just above the head of Goat
Island. The scheme seems to be a
wholly humane and practicable one,
but as the cooperation of the Govern
ments of the United States and Can
ada will have to be secured to lay the
life-guard, it is probable that it will
not play the part marked out for it
for some time to come. But no pre-
caution should be spared to protect
unwary or unskillful voyagers in the
Upper Niagara from the fateful ter
rors of plunge into the rapids and
the cataract.

The marvellous success of the Eng
lish in keeping 100000, 900 East In
dians in subsection with handful of
men is explained, believes the San
Francisco Chronicle, by the fact that
the example set by the French has
been consistently followed. When
Frenchmen were operating in India
they speedily discovered that there
was no such thing as national feeling,
and they took advantage of the discovery
to hire natives to slbiugate other ma
tives. 1t appears, however, that this
policy has not been so successful IN
the hill country, where the natives are
now in open rebellion. But Sir Will
liam Lockhart has been given free
hand since the outbreak, and we are
informed that as he is not to be bound
by red-tape regulations he Will proba-
bly, bring the recalcltrants to terms III
q short time. Just what this means it
would be hard to tell, but if Sir Will
liam Lockhart follows the example of
some of his predecessors in India, who
were also unrestrained by red tape,
the concluding years of the century
may be marked by brutalities which
the Jubilee writer's told us were things
of the past.

United States Consul Charles
DENLY, at Pekin, gives the substance
of representation recently made by
Mr.. Brennan, British Consul ON Trade
in China. Brennan states that the
currency of China is copper much
more than silver, and that the rola-
tive value of gold and copper is an
important factor i'll the consideration
of trade problems. 1t is undoubt-
edly true, says Brennan, that the or
dinary business of China is done in
copper cash, and he incloses a trans

it is shown that the price of copper
cash has been enhanced over twenty
per cent. at the same time that prices
for ordinary articles of consumption
are materially increased
