MORE COMING.

1t is expected that Insurance Commits
soner Belts will testify before the Jul
dietary committee to-day. He has
something interesting to say, and we
hear that he Is going to say 1t If he is
allowed to, and that he will not be re-
strained by extra legal caution or too
much regard for other peoples feelings.
He is on the right track, and we hope
the committee will let him go on it as
far as he wants to. Some careful gem
tlemen may cry peace, peace, but there
will be no peace in this matter until all
the suspicion and the conspiracies are
talked or sued out of it. Let Mr.. Belts
tell all he knows, and IL anybody else
knows anything that will throw any
light on who struck any insurance COM
pany let that be told too.

The fresh bones of at least half a

VINE, BEER AND Spirits.

The London Board of Trade has COL
lected and published large amount Of
information concerning the production
and consumption of wines, spirits and
beer in the several countries of the
world. The period covered by this re-
port is the year 1897 and the four years
preceding that. few of the facts
and figures of this exhibit are as fol-
lows:
OF the net revenues of the several
countries named 36 per cent. was de-
rived from alcohol in its various forms
in Great Britain, % per cent. in the
United States and about IS per cent. in
France and Germany each.
| England imports about all the wines
| her people use; France about 90 per
| cent, Germany 90 per cent and the
United States ~ per cent Great Brit
ain, on the other hand manufactures
practically all the beer consumed by
| her people. France imports per cent
of the beer she uses, Germany about 8
per cent and the United States about
3 per cent. OF spirits Great Britain
imports 20 per cent, France So per
cent, Germany is per cent. and the
United States 35 per cent, the remain
der in each case being manufactured at
home.
The consumption of wine in France
has dropped by 800, 900, 0O0 or from 30 80
to 21.80 gallons per head. There has
been slight decrease in Great Britain
and considerable decrease in Germa-
ny. In this country, however the con-
sumption of wine has about doubled,
though it is much less than in the 9TH
err countries, being but "A gallons per
head.
In the consumption of beer per head
Great Britain leads all the others. In
1897 the total amount of beer consumed
in that country was 1,251 100000 gallons,
or 313 gallons per head of population.
In Germany the total consumption is
about 1O0,00O000 more but the amount
per head is but 25,5 gallons. In the
United States the total amount of beer
consumed in 1897 was about S91, 100000
gallons, or about 12.1 per head. The
consumption in France in 1896 was 199,-
100000 gallons-about 81 gallons per
head.
OF spirits the amount per head con-
sumed in Great Britain is about 1.02
gallons, France and Germany about 1.S9
gallons, and the United States 80 gal
Ions.
There is some comfort in these figures |
for those who have been feeling that |
strong drink is running the people of |
this country.

yet those that cost fifty sen or one yen
piece cannot be made here. This is
not, however, fault on the part of our
manufacturers, because their inability
to make such designs is entirely owing
to the imperfect state of designing and
printing Industries in our country and
it would therefore not pay our soap
manufacturers to prepare these embel-
lishments for soap under the existing
circumstances.
This is the reason why we are still
obliged to depend on the supply of soap
from abroad, in spite of the prosperity
of our soap manufacturing trade. There
is another question that may be raised
in connection with it. 1t is, why do we
still depend on the foreign supply OF
common soap, its manufacture being so
very easy? Because in foreign countries
it can be manufactured at lower cost
than here, where we must depend on the
supply Of original MARTIAL from abroad.

For new overskirts of cloth there is a

EDUCATION.

There was lively and interesting
meeting of the board of aldermen last
evening. There was much business to
be done and 1t was all done, the table
incident Of the meeting was the action
on the educational matter. When it
came up Alderman Dewell made it
plain that he was not concerned for the
fate of his own resolution, but was

Then the aldermen, by large majority,
rejected the recommendation fer the

dalton for an investigation was refer

board of aldermen President Norris APP,
pointed as members Of this committee
Aldermen Staub and r. Brennan, who
hold over, and will thus be able to
deal thoroughly with the matter. 1t
is not expected that there will be
another meeting of the present board.
As the matter now stands then, there
is not enough money for the board of

thing may be saved by cutting off su-

All this is especially interesting, in view
of the fact that he was elected on
