The exceptionally low prices of raw cof-
fee in the wholesale markets have been
practically without effect upon the aver
age coffee consumer. He has not been
able to notice any reduction in the prices
which he has had to pay for his supplies
The retail prices are about as usual, and
there has been no improvement in the
quality, so far as the average citizen can
discover. And something of the same sort,
only more so" is to be noticed in the
matter of cotton cloths. The very low
price of the raw material has not had the
effect of reducing prices of finished prod
ucts 10 the consumer. They are about as
high as ever, and in some cases are high
er than they were a time back. Who is il
that is making the money in coffee and
cotton?

Has a physician the right TO end pa

hopes of recovery is gone, and when the
sufferer and his relatives demand relief
in death? The question is being discussed

OF some of the Northern newspapers Dr.
Nickerson, of Meriden, Conn, was quoted
in the Herald the other day as being of
an affirmative opinion respecting the mat

Than one occasion Intentionally cut the
thread of existence. ANY physician who
makes such a confession, if his confession
is true, is a murderer is the comment

a confession came 10 his attention with
in his jurisdiction he would present the
case TO the grand jury for an indictment
for murder in the first degree. The only
defense which doctor making such a

lawyer would be lunacy. Another lawyer

During the first two months of the new
fiscal year, according to the Washington
correspondence of the Buffalo Express
the military expenses of the government,
counting pensions as a military expense
amounted to S79159 .S4564, while during the
same time the support of the civn and
miscellaneous establishment of the gov
eminent cost $2lO66,4SsS1. In other words
the government is paying nearly 81 for
war to every 81 for civil expenses. Isn't
it rather an anomalous condition that this
peaceful country should be making ap-
proximately so per cent. of its public ex-
penditures on account of wars?

Spains internal troubles are far from
being over. The province of Nizcaya has
been put under martial law, for the rea-

made necessary by the impoverished con-

eminent proposes, therefore, to collect the
taxes at the point of the bayonet. And,
as usual, the Carlists are talking of turn

There scarcely remains doubt that
the convention will declare for 4 sub
