The English View of Monopoly.

Our English cousins do not take kind
ly to the American monopolies which
are invading their markets They have
done the same things themselves, but
they fail to see that the principle is the
same. Certain leading papers in Great
Britain are arguing that something like
Lord Dalhousie's Indian scheme
through which the Government could
take over any monopoly, would be a
good thing for the United States.
Our English friends forget that while
monopolies under the British flag are
subject to discipline. and in extreme
cases to suppression, combinations Of
that sort are actually in control of the
American Congress and Executive to-
day. 1t is to be doubted that England
at this period would interfere with large
operations abroad entered into by the
house of Rothschild. The reason is that
the practical war powers of nations
have passed from the military to the
economic forces of the peoples. We
may complain Of the great aggregations
of wealth in a few hands, but we can
not prevent them. Neither we nor Eu-
rope. II this country's destiny is to
capture the trade of all Europe, ii will
be accomplished. Coalitions across the
Atlantic win hardly arrest its progress,
and the London press would better sug-
gest To the Salisbury Government the
voluntary abrogation Of the Clayton
Bulwer Treaty than to talk about great
American fortunes. Those fortunes are
liable to grow still greater, and at the
expense of foreigners.

ELECTRICITY IN A PULPIT.
A Clergyman Explains MarcOnPs
System to His Flock.

MOUNT VERNON, y. Y, May 10
Standing in his pulpit tonight. surrounded
by electric batteries, the Rev. c. H Tyn-
dan illustrated to large and fashion
able audience in the Dutch Reformed
Church the working of the Marconi sys-
tenn of wireless telegraphy. and made
comparisons between the electric currents
thrown off by the Instruments and the
penetrating influences of God. The min
lister intended to run a miniature trolley
car through the pulpit by the wireless cur
rents, but had to abandon this plan, as
he did not secure strong enough bat
teries.
The subject for the evening was Wire
less Telegraphy and It's Spiritual SiuiIi-
tudes." Dr. Tyndall, who is an expert
amateur electrician, gave as his reason
for choosing such a subject and carrying
on the illustrations the belief that mems
hearts are out of tune with God, and
that they constantly offer resistance to
Bible truths. He showed how the great
electric inventors had overcome electrical
resistance. and said,
May Christ transform US until our re-
sistance is broken down. ard may he send
us his messages of love in time of joy or
of trouble This is what he wants to do
tonight with you. and this is why 1 bor-
rowed these instruments from Mr.. Clark,
that l might call your attention more
forcibly TO his desire to save your soul
when perhaps other methods to reach you
may have failed
Mr. TyndaH's sermon was delivered as
he moved about the pulpit striking the
keys of the electrical apparatus, aud
sounding bells, which rang through the
church In beginning his sermon the
clergyman told the congregation, which
was unusually large, that the Deity
speaks to man in a thousand ways, but
by no method more wonderful than the
electrical currents. which men are just
beginning to understand. i have here
what is known to the scientific world as
a Hertz oscillator, said the clergyman,
as he reached down beside the pulpit
and picked up a box. Il VIII hold IL UP
where YOU can see it There was buzz
OF curiosity in the audience and some
people got up so they could see better.
Mr. Tyndall walked over to another box
which. with set of earthenware bat
teries. was on table near the organ
This box contains the receiver, he ex-
planned. 1T has a coil of wire inside,
some metal filings, and glass tube.
Every time an electric circuit is completed
y
dart out into the audience and are caught
by the receiver on copper wire which
runs up a bamboo pole"
The clergyman then walked to the op-
posite side of the pulpit and clicked the
KEY several times in rapid succession y
bell on the receiving apparatus rang
sharply after each click. The preacher
then carried the EXETER about the pulpit
ringing the bell vigorously.
This seems to me, he said, after he
had completed his experiments. "a stFik.
ing illustration of how mems hearts are
transformed from their resistance TO God
When God breaks down their resistance
they become Instruments and conductors
of his tenderness and love"
w. j. Clark, the electrical expert and
inventor. who lent Mr.. TyndaII his instru-
ments, sat in a front pew.

A COLONIAL NAVAL RESERVE.
Close of the First Seasons Expert
ment In Newfoundland.

ST JOHNS, n. F., May 19-The expert
ment of inaugurating a British naval re-
serve among the younger Newfoundland
fishermen has been successfully launched,
and great things are looked for as an out
come of the project. In November last
fifty-seven stalwart fishermen, from
eighteen to twenty-five years old, were
chosen to form the initial contingent, and
they embarked on November TO- in the
cruiser Charybdis, for six months voy-
age in the West Indies. They returned
yesterday. having completed their term OF
service, and the satisfaction which they
express at their treatment makes it GER
tain that hundreds VIII follow them next
year.
The naval reserve was extended to this
colony because the seafaring pursuits of
so many of It's people made them such adj
mirable material for the purpose. The
scheme comprehends fve-year term of
service-six months drill on warship the
first year, and a months duty. either on
shlpboard or in battery. each season af-
terward Another ffve-year term can then
be taken. with increased pay allowance.
and guarantee of pension. and it is, of
course, understood that from the very
start each man is allowed his food, cloth
ing. bedding, and a daily stipend of 26
cents
The outcome Of this experiment is that
a reserve on large scale will be estab-
lished in this colony. The cruiser Calypso
is already being fitted out at Portsmouth
for service as a naval drill-ship In our
waters. and she will have accommodation
for 300 volunteers. The three ships now
engaged in fishery protection work around
our coast every summer will each take a
contingent south next fall, and the drill
ship viii be the rendezvous for those who
have taken their sea-course and for sup
Elementary forces. 1t is proposed to take
into the service orphan boys with no rela-
tives willing to care for them. In a mari
time colony such boys are very numer-
Gus. unfortunately, as their breadwinners
are snatched away, and the caring for
them is not overwelcome TO friends. The
boys thus have a hard upbringing, and
their admission into the navy would solve
the problem of existence for many. The
drill-ship will be stationed here all the
year round, sailing south in winter with
the reserVists, and cruising around our
shores in summer with her boys and regu-
lars.
Tho great advantage of the reserve
movement, from the point of view of the
colonial fisherman. is that during the win
ter months he has nothing to do. There
fore, such an opportunity as the reserve
with good times, good pay, and good COM
rades. is a welcome one, and its accept
ance by hundreds is now assured. Within
ten years, if present prospects continue,
the Empire should have 800 trained blue
Jackets available in this island.
