 a During the <Napoleonic wars, as~Ad- miral Mahan shows in his book, the privateers of Napoleon succeeded in getting annually about two per cent. of British shipping. So far as the commerce of Liverpool is concerned the German destruction is less than one-haif of one per cent. year.

 Great Britain, trying to end by com pulsion the coal strike in Wales, finds that all her battles are not to be fought on the Continent. Those min CTS in the British Isles, like some others of the Wageearners there,4 whose class feeling has been streng- thened by the aristocratic distinctions, have shown themselves to be hard to convince when they don't wish to be.

 Tammany Hall put through the act calling for an election for a Consti- tutional convention chiefly with the purpose of securing equal represen- tation' for New York city in the Leg islature. Failing to obtain control of the convention it began shouting for equal taxation and home rule,< but no one should be misled by this cry into the belief that Tammany was not first and last for equal represen- tation, something the Tiger has dreamed about for score of years. Equal taxation and home rule were afterthoughts. Brooklyn Standard Union

What svernlav be said of alcohol as a bev- 're ge alcohol as medicine Is pretty f 'early universally recognized as need- uL Brandy in small amounts is 1etter than digitalis for heartweak- less. For aged men and women it s a common prescription To throw pirifs out of the pharmacopoeia of be United States vii not affect the 'ractice of the physicians of the world. This seems to be field where interference by political or |emagcgic forces should be deprecat- d. t Prohibition by nharmacopoeia s at once visionary and pernicious n that proposition We venture to say of the doctors will agree.
