Whether this method of subjugation is
very successful, l cannot positively
say.
A bare federation seems to be the lot
of the male. Even when accepted, he
must be content to play second fiddle,

the dreadful knowledge hanging over
him that in q snappish moment she

generally smaller than the female and

On each side are four legs. and on that

legs. In these are the poison glands
by which insects are killed or disabled.

PROFITS OF SUEZ CANAL.
Rates to be Lowered Again to Keep
Dividends Below Is Per Cent.

| Dividends Below Is Per Cent.
"Tis forty years SINCE" and what
difference between then and now! At
that time men were saying the Suez
canal never would or could pay or-
Grating expenses! At the present time
its profits are so enormous that the
company is compelled again and again
to reduce the tolls in order to keep
the dividends within legal bounds. OF
truth, Mr.. Greenwood was presi-
dent when thirty years ago he per-
suaded the British government to buy
the Khedives shares. Lord Derby,
the foreign minister, did not like the
scheme Sir Stafford Northcote,
chancellor Of the exchequer, distinctly
disapproved It, Disraeli himself,
prime minister, was doubtful.
| 1t did not seem a tempting thing
to pay $20,O00.000 for shares. the
interest on which had been mort
gagged for nineteen years. But Mr.
Greenwood was president. He pointed
out that most of the shares, apart
from the Khedive's. were held In
France, while sc per cent of the
traffic through the canal was British
So British commerce must pay tolls
Into French pockets. Tolls were
high, and when England asked that
they be reduced France answered
that IL England did not like the canal
she might send her commerce by the
old route around the cape. In the
end Mr.. Greenwood's pleas prevailed
and the British government paid
$40, 900, 900 for shares that are now
worth $140,O00,OO0.
A curious error was made In dis
patch the other day, which said TINS
years dividend was only III per
lcent Not for long time has IL been
so low The dispatch should have
said it was 141 francs a share, far
different thing AS the shares are
of 500 francs each, the dividend Is
at the rate of 1872 per cent, or just
twice what was at first stated. Last
years dividend was 130 francs a
share, or 26 per cent Now the
London agreement binds the COM
pany not to appropriate more than
|25 per cent, but to reduce the tolls
as much and as often as may be
necessary to keep them down to that
figure. That is why the company
proposes another reduction.
1t did reduce tolls two years ago
from 8 to 81 francs ton, but still
the profits kept on increasing and
pushing the dividend above the 25
per cent limit. There are those who
reckon that If tolls were now reduced
TO francs the company would still
be able to declare a yearly dividend
Of 25 per cent, ard that few years
hence a still further reduction can
be made without impairment of the
legal divldend.-New York Tribune.

The town trustees have been hold

The town trustees have been hold
ing inform al meetings during the
past week, no doubt for the purpose
of consultation in regard to their
Official action. These preliminary
meetings are private affairs. No
harm can come OF discussing the
situation, and endeavoring to reach
an agreement on questions that must
of necessity be disposed of at the
first regular meeting next Thursday.
The one thing to be summed is party
politics. Should the city government
fall into the control of party machin-
cry its usefulness will be greatly dis
counted thereby. 1t would be a
calamity. Politicians have many
ways to accomplish their ends. 1t
does not do always to come ont boldly
and announce their objects. Often
times they put on a non-partisan
garb, ut the same time having a strict
ly political partisan advantage in
view. 1t is this species of political
working that is most to be feared. In
two or three months we shall be in
the throes of another city election,
and plans are being laid for that
event. In few years, probably, the
city offices will not be deemed such
desirable positions as they are now.
Time will rnb off the gilt-edge, which
at present glitters the fancy. And
then will come the grave danger of
the city government becoming a side
show to party politics. The people
of Jackson will do we'll to watch this
point closely. A party ticket should
never be allowed to show It's front,
and if put in the field, the citizens
should unite, regardless of party, and
defect it so decisively as to read 6
wholesome lesson to it's hackers never
to attempt to repeat the experiment.
