The conviction of the milkman No

slant vigilance will have to be exercis-
ed, or the milk sellers will very speed

matters of this kind, it is constant

The fall of the Dupuy ministry in
France, though ostensibly upon the
question of police outrages was really
caused by the Dreyfus affair. General
Boisdeffre and General MERCER ought
TO be punished for their share in the
matter but it was thought by a large
section that .Dupuy would shield them.
Under these circumstances advantage
was taken of the police outrage ques-
ton, and an overwhelming vote given
against the ministry. Frances minis
tries, however, are as kaleidoscope as
King Kalakaua's, and a change of min
istry does not mean any great political
upheaval. The Dupuy ministry was
not agreeable to President Loubet.

1t is understood that at the next
Congress a universal pure food law will
be proposed, and that it is likely to be
passed. This would lay our present law
upon the shelf of course, but the gen.
eral law would probably be much more
stringently carried out than our own
seeing that for a year after it was pass
ed, it remained practically a dead let
ter. Any how by passing the pure food
law and at length making it operative,
we have put ourselves in line with the
most advanced states.

The Columbia is playing a new role.
This time she appears as a quarantine
ship. 1t looks as if the Columbia is a
permanent institution of our harbor
and it will seem quite odd not to have
her around to take up various kinds of
odd jobs. She certainly has had a queer
history and one wonders what her ulti-
mate end will be.

strangely neglectful Of this matter. Under
the system which now obtains there is
really no responsible stan officer at head
quarters. Formerly the Deputy Adiutant-
General, Royal Artillery. had the power to
exercise the necessary care over these
matters and could be held responsible, but
the Office has been abolished recently.
What stronger argument could be advanced
to prove that what our military experts are
asking fora chief OF artillery-is an actual
and not q theoretical necessity
Now, let us look at the strategy OF Beers
and British. After the investment OF Lady,
smith, JoUBERT lost no time In needless
waiting, but, leaving n sufficient force to
keep up the siege, he continued his STRAIT
egic movement by sending three columns,
over Colenso, Weenen and Greytown,
respectively, concentrating on Pletermaritz-
burg and at the same time directing the
corps which had entered the domain OF the
Zuus to GROSS the lower Tugela and threaten
the line OF communications between Pieter-
maritzburg and Durham. The entire con-
centric advance Is also q grand right wheel
OF tho army on Pietermaritzburg. The
same kind OF movement in three col
umns Is being executed by the Orange
Beers on their southern border, against De
Aar junction, Colesburg and Queenstown,
respectively In both cases arc system,
unity Of plan and action, inter-oommunica-
ton between columns and care in securing
lines OF retreat-everything. In fact, that
good strategy requires.
Tho British, on the other hand divided
their forces and left both Of their two great
columns. BUILDERS and METHUENs, made
quate in strength for tho work required OF
them, and with no chance OF supporting
each other. Both columns have been de-
feated. Would not tho story have been
different II the main British force had been
sent to Durham and concentrated on the
main Boer army In Natalf Obviously the
entire force was too weak to make q con-
centric advance on the east, south and west
Of the Boer domain.
Again, II we look at the organization Of
the British forces we find another element
OF weakness, which Ia quite unaccountable.
In selecting the troops to be shipped to
Durham there was apparently no atten-
ton paid TO the units OF organization. for
we find them mixed up in the most remark
able way. Gen. CLRRY's command. sent
out from Durham, was composed of the
Second Brigade OF the Fret Division. the
Sixth Brigade Of the Third Division and the
Fourth Brigade OF tho Second Division. II
there was no other reason for keeping units
OF organization intact the question Of sup
plies would furnish sufficient one. but
there are many others. and on them the
very foundation principle OF all organiza-
ton rests. The haste In despatching the
troops to the front Ia not sufficient excuse
for such state OF affairs.

Two Uniformed Congres.men.

The inability OF two Congressman to dis
cuss with Intelligent comprehension ques-
tions OF finance was strikingly displayed
In colloquy which took place on the
floor OF the House OF Representatives, last
Wednesday, between Mr. POWERS OF YER
mont and Mr.. TERRY OF Arkansas.
Mr.. TERRY asked Mr.. POWERS: Suppose
we were to close the mints against the free
coinage OF gold, what do you suppose
would be the intrinsic value OF the thin bit
OF gold that you call gold dollar 2" The
answer should have been that IL would be
It's value as pure gold; but Mr. POWERS
could find nothing better to say than that
the gold in "a dollar would be worth 100
cents, which is merely saying that
1t would be- worth one hundred times it's
hundrcdth part.
Slr. TERRY did not, however, perceive
this, and asked: What makes it worth
100 cents except that 1t is used in coin
agea" ard Mr.. POWERS answered: Be
cause it is intrinsically worth 100 cents
1t will make bosom pins, watches and a
thousand things"
Here he came nearer the truth, but he
again failed to satisfy Mr.. TERRY, who
insisted: III you cut or the demand
for coinage purposes would 1t not enor-
mously decrease the demand for gold, aud
consequently its value?" This noored Mr.
POWERS. and he did not answer at all. He
should have said that gold IL not used for
money because IL Is coined, but that IL Ia
coiped because it Is used as money. II il
were not coined II would be used in bars. no
silver Is in China. Coming IL Ia n mere
matter OF convenience and does not add to
It's value one particle.
Both Mr.. Powers and Mr. TERRY
should study the elements OF monetary
scence.
