That's it!\u2019 he exclaimed.\u2018\u2018That's what you've both wanted! Oh, no; it's not me the people want\u2014not me! It\u2019s Guilia! Sil! Sit Si) Guilia! Not me!\u201d \u2018\u2018I really beg your pardon, signor,\u201d Tom interjected, while Guilia tried to sooth her father as best she could.But dwindled.Ho would not be pacified.: His tone grew louder and his face redder.Finally, in wrath, which drew the atten.: tion of ovaryone in the restaurant, he rose ! majestically, and, waving his hand at Tom, commanded: i \u201cOut of my sight! Out of my sight! | You have insulted me!\u2019 Guilla, almost beside herself, in an undertone beseeched Tom to say no nore, but to do as he was told, and Tom shamefacedly put on his coat and hat and went out of the restaurant without a word.| After he had gone, the old man sank into his seat again, exhausted.He would .eat no more dinner, and after a short time | he silently left the restaurant with his daughter.He said never a word to her on the way home.When they reached the dark corridors of the studio building she held her hand out to him as usuel to help him in the darkness, which was full of little steps and stairs, but he rejected it and stumbled on independently.As they passed through the gloom towards their little rooms a black flgure which Guilia know to be the contrite Tom, approached and touched her hand.She gave hiss distressad pressure and whispered to him to say nothing.The old man did not notice.The week that followed was a weary one, Not for one moment did Pizzi allow his resentment to relax.He would not speak of Tom, and once or twice when that thoroughly humble young man tried to speak of him he flew into au almost uncontrollable rage.To Gullia, too, he showed none of the little love attentions of the past.He was the stern parent now \u2014he would no longer let her lead.The : effort which he made to keep his tottering footsteps and hig trembling mind in advance of ber strong, young vigor wae tremendous.At the restaurant they played as usual.One afternoon before they went there, Guilia noticed a queer, cunning expression flit across the old man\u2019s face, and as they rode down in the horse car saw a sly smile hovering around his lips.Of late there had often been a \u2018wild expression in his eyes which had worried Guilia greatly.Constantly sho watched the old man ag a mother might watch a sick child, puzzling over each expression of his face, each inflection of his voice.This new look she could not understand.In the midst of their music she learnt what it had meant.Pizzi\u2019s slow old ; mind had concocted a plan for undoing : what he thought was her unholy pride.In the midst of one of their most difficult numbers he stopped playing, leaving her to finish alone.Instantly she understood.He had decided to show her that if he did not play his pitiful accompaniment the people would not applaud; to prove to her that it was his art, not hers, which they admired.Oh, how Guilia prayed, as she played out the number, that no hand clapping would follow its finish.It is doutbful if ever before a performer was so anxious not to receive recognition for her work.She tried to play badly, but when the music onded there came the same little tumult of spatting hands as before.There were probably not two people in the room besides herself and Pizzi who noticed that his guitar had been silent.It was a dreadful blow to the old man.For a moment the disappointment of her success dazed him.Then his rage came with ten-fold the fury which had risen against poor Tom.Me grasped her wrist with his trembling hand so flercely that the pick, with which she had been playing, fell frum he frightened fingers to the floor, and hissed into her ear: \u2018\u2018Oh, unnatural child! You have seen them and talked with them without my knowledge so that they would applaud your wretched music ahd ignore my art.Out upon you! You are an ungrateful daughter.\u2019\u2019 Poor Guilla! He had never spoken so to her before.His words cut like little knives.She could not answer.TO STRCONCLUDED.COMPLIMENTARY.The American journalist possesses a fund of dry humor which he knows well how to apply.He is famous for insulting by implication ; few understand the art better.A Californian editor invested in a mule, and the fact was chronicled under the heading, \u2018Remarkable Instance of Self- possession.Said an Idaho journal: \u201cThe weather has been hot again for the last few days.The only relief we could get was to lie down on the Herald and cover ourselves with the Bulletin ; there is a great coolness between them.\u201d When a Western editor wrote, \u201cWe are living at this moment under a despotism,\u201d his opponent kindly explained, \u2018Our contemporary means to say he has lately got married.\u201d A newspaper writer asserts that his ancestors had been in the habit of living a hundred years, to which another responds \u2018That must have been before the introduction of capital punishment.\u201d The\u2019 proprietor of a Western journal announced his intention of spendig fifty dollars on \u201ca new head\u201d for it.\u201cDo not do it,\u201d advised a rival sheet.\u2018Bettek keep the money and buy a new head for the editor.\u201d THE ENGINE EXPLODED, Hyde Park, Mass.May 9\u2014An explo- slon occurred on an engine on the New York, New Haven and Hartford fast freight this morning.Brakeman Owen J.McCatferty, who was in the en- ine cab, jumped and striking upon his ead on a railroad tie was instantly killed.Fireman Arthur A.Fuller leap ed from the cab and was picked up unt conscious and fatally hurt.Engineer Buck Taylor climbed through the wine dow and clung to the frame, and al though scalded and blinded by the escaping steam, he pluckily maintained his hold and managed to stop the train.The President of the Board of Health, New York, recommends Adams\u2019 Pepsin | of Tutt!

Quebec, May 9.\u2014The spring session of the Roman Catholic section of the Council of Public Instruction opened at the Parliament House yesterday, under the presidency of the Hon.Mr.De La Bruere, the newly appointed superintendent.The members present of the committee were: Archbishop Fabre of Montreal and Begin; Mgr.Gravel of Nicolet ; Mgr.Blais of Rimouski ; Mgr.Labreque Chicoutimi; Mgr.Emard of Valley- field; Mgr.Marois, representing Bishop of Three Rivers; Rev.Mr.Chalifour, representing Mgr .Larocque ; Mgr.Decelles, coadjutor of St.Hyacinthe ; Mgr.Lorram of Pontiac ; the Hon.Judge Jette, Hon.Messrs.Masson, Langelier, Archambault, Chapais, Ouimet, and Messrs.P.L.Murphy, H.R.Gray and Dr.Leprohon.The burning question of obliging all Roman Catholic teachers, whether members of the clergy or not, to hold diplomas will probably be taken up at this session.The recent declarations of Mgr.Lan- gevin in connection with the Manitoba School question are much commented on here, but the opinion generally prevails, even among certain members of the Ro- men Catholic clergy, that he is now speaking too much, and his remarks on Protestant institutions are unreasonable and might badly prejudice the cause which he is so devotedly defending.Premier Tallion has been requested by the Quebec Protestant Association to relieve the Protestant members of the duty of keeping civil registers, and to see that the marriage license fee be reduced to two dollars.A wealthy lady of New York, whose name is unknown, has presented the shrine of St.Anne de Beaupre with a magnificent pedestal for the statue of the saint.It is quite a monument, made with transparent veined onyx, precious foreign marbles adorned with delicate gilded copper work very artistically executed, and it cost about $2,000.A letter received here from the Marquis de Levis announces that the distinguished gentleman will embark on board the 8.8.La Touraine at Harve for Canada on June 1.He will be accompanied by Madame de Levis and the Count and Countess D\u2019Hinnisdale.The party will visit Niagara, Toronto, Kingston, Montreal and Quebec, where they propose to stay several days.A demonstration in their honor is to be organized here, and they will be invited to attend the offi- clal inauguration of the statue of the General de Levis at the Parliament House on June 24, St.Jean Baptiste day.DRANK CARBOLIC ACID- A Woman Loses Her life Through Her Own Mistake, A fatal accident occurred Wednesday between eleven and twelve p.m, whereby Mrs.McDonnell came to her death by swallowing a dose of carbolic acid.The woman resided at 107 Cadieux Street, where she had lodged with her husband for the past three months.On enquiry at the house the landlady informed a Herald reporter that Mr.and Mrs.McDonnell had retired to rest about nine o'clock, and that about eleven o'clock she had been awakened by the husband of the deceased knocking at her door and asking her to give him a glass of hot water as his wife had swallowed some acid.She got the water and took it to the deceased and then tha husband ran for a doctor, but although everything possible was dane to save thd deceased she expired shortly after the doctor arrived.The deceased was in the habit of keeping carbolic acid in a glass in her room for health purposes, and; it is supposed she mistook it for her\u2018 usual nightly glass of water.i SYDNEY AND LOUISBURG.Ruins of the \u201cDunkirk of America\u201d Easily Renched After Jane 1.Announcement is made that the Dominion Coal Company's railroad from Sydney to Louisburg, in Cape Breton, will be opened up for its entire lengih about the first week in June.It is said to be one of the levelest and best constructed peices of road on the continent, and connects the several mines owned by the syndicate, the intention being to make Loulsburg the principal port of shipment, as that harbor is free of ice the greater portion of the winter.The opening of this road will also be good news for the hundreds of New Englanders who annually spend their summer vacations in the beautiful island of Cape Breton, but have hitherto been prevented from visiting the historic location of Louisburg, which their forefathers captured from the French, at a time when it was the mostly strongly fortified place on the continent, and known as the \u201cDunkirk of America.\u201d Probably the first large party to ride over the completed road will be the Societies of the Colonial Wars of Boston and New York, who will journey thither to dedicate a monument that is being erected on the site of the old city, and which will be unveiled June 17.The larger number of those who will attend are to leave on the steamer Halifax, leaving here Saturday, June 15, and connecting with a special train of the Intercolonial Railway, which is to leave Halifax for Sydney on Sunday evening, after the arrival of the steamer.\u2014Boston Herald.\u2018 FOR AFTERNOON TEA.A Convenient Tray for Refreshment \u2014The Newest Teapot.A convenience that any victim of the afternoon tea Will appreciate is a tray or elongated saucer oval in shape.At one end is a rest made of gold wire, in which the cup stands.The other is quits large enough to allow of serving sandwiches, biscuit or even a bit of salad without burdening the guest with a second object to hold.The cup stands firm in {ts place.Not even the jostling common in a crowded room will displace it or endanger that breakage which so often follows a crush.The tray is eas- fly held in one hand and the other is tree to handle fork or spoon without inconvenience of the smallest sort.Pretty teapots for the 5 o'clock tea table are of rosewood in a pinkish brown and in the usual olive coloring.The handles of the lids are butterflies, and a

it coarse, others fine).Make a dressing as follows: Take three eggs, six tablespoontuls of butter, one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful of mustard, one teaspoonful of pepper; put all into a double boiler, cook until it thickens, stirring constantly; after taking from the fire zdd half a cup of vinegar, cool and mix a little chopped celery with the meat.When dressing is cool mix some Into the mest, place it on the piatter or dish, smooth it and pour the rest of the dressing over dhe top and garnish with the leaves of celery if used.Veal can be used in the same way.Apricot Souffle.\u2014Put one pint of bread in half a pint of milk over the fire and stir till boiling hot.Press i2 pieces of apricot or peaches through the colander, stir Into the bread and milk.Add a teaspoonful of lemon juice, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and the slow beaten whites of four eggs.Put this mixture into greased custard cups.Stand the cups in a baking pan of hot water and place in oven and bake for twenty minutes.Serve with wine sauce.Stewed Brisket of Beef.\u2014Put three or four pounds of brisket into a kettle and cover it with water.Take off the scum as it rises.Let it boil sleadily for two hours, then take it from the pot and brown it in a spider with butter .When it is browned on every siae return it to the kettle and stew it gently five hours more.Add more water if it boils away.Put in a carrot and turnip or two and also an onion, a few clgves and salt and pepper to taste.Half an hour before dinner add tomato or mushroom catsup.To serve, lay the beef upon a dish and strew capers over it.The water in which this is stewed will make a nice soup.Rennet Wine.\u2014Wash a third or halt of a salted rennet; wipe it dry and put it into a bottle of wine.The wine will be fit for use on custards the next day.To keep the rest of the rennet till more is needed, put it into a strong brine and cover close.Lemon Syrup.\u2014One pound of loaf or crushed sugar fo every half pint of lemon juice.Let it stand twenty-four hours, or till the sugar is dissolved, stirring it very often with a silver or wooden spoon.When dissolved, wring & flannel bag very dry in hot water, strain the syrup and bottle it.This will keep a long time.Rose Butter.\u2014(A good substitute for rose water)\u2014Gather every morning the leaves of the roses that blossomed the day before, and put them in a stone Jar in alternate layers with fine salt.After all the leaves are gathered, put: a saucer or small plate into the jar, \u2018and lay In a pound of butter; for cake or pudding sauce, it is a very good way of obtaining the flavor of roses, without expense.To Keep Suet.\u2014Pull off the skin or membrane from fresh suet, sprinkle salt upon it, tie it up in a.cloth or bag, and hang it in a cool, dry place.It \u2018will keep a year in this way if desired.To Keep Parsley,\u2014Gather fresh sprigs, and after washing them chop them fine, and work them into as much butter as will be needed for boiled poultry, lamb and fish, before next summer.Put the butter into a jar, and cover it with a nice salt brine.Keep in a \u2018cool, dry place.How to Salt Shad to Keep a Year.\u2014 Procure those which are just caught; soak them an hour or two in plenty \u20ac water, in order that the scales may be easily taken off.Take care to remove them all.Cut off the heads and open them down the back.When you have taken out all the refuse parts, remove the greatest part of the spine, as by sc doing the fish will be sure to keep more pweet.A sharp knife in doing this is indispensable.Lay them in fresh water, with a good deal of salt in it, for an hour or two, in order to extract the blood.Then take them out, and sprinkle them plentifully with fine salt, taking care that it touches all the ends and edges.If most convenient, let them lie over night.In the morning mingle an ounce of saltpetre and a pound of sugar with a peck of coarse-fine salt, and put a layer of salt and Bp layer of fish (the skin being down) into the firkin.A peck of salt will cure twenty-five shad.Keep in a cool, dry place.Nut Cake.\u2014Take two-thirds of a cup of butter and cream it with two and a half cups of sugar.Beat up foun eggs, whites and yolks separately, and one cup of sweet milk.Take three and a half cups of flour and sift twice with three feaspoonfuls of Cook's Friend

POLICY.f The task to which Sir Richard Cart- Wright addressed himself in his speech on the budget was the elucidat.ai of the Liberal policy as a remedy to: the evils which have befallen the national exchequer.Thre inevitable tendency of the National Policy wag recognized from the beginning.Its results were so strongly stamped on the fortunes of the country at the commencement of the present period of depression as to call imperatively for attention at the hands of all who had the in- terestg of the country at heart.The Liberal party, assembled at Ottawa in June, 1893, accordingly renewed by lorm- al resolution its expression of conviction that the National Policy, as a means to the raising of the national revenue, and the advancement of the national prosperity had failed.The convention also defined the policy which it proposed 2s a subs''\u2018ute.The budget deliverance of the Minister of Finance in the House of Commons the other day could not be regarded otherwise than as an admission in eubstance, if not in terms, of the fail- ur: où the fiscal system which has been in vogue during the last sixteen years.lt was fitting, then, that Sir Richard Cartwright, to whom the main responsibility for criticism of the financial policy of the Government is entrusted by the Opposition, should have dwelt at length upon the failure of that policy, and defined with authority the policy which, as the Liberal party beileves, offers a golution of the present grave difficulty.The Liberal party declared at Ottawa in 1893 that \u201cthe highest interests of Canada demand the adoption of a sound fiscal policy, which, while not doing injustice to any class, will promote domestic and foreign trade, and hasten the return of prosperity to our people.That to that end the tariff should be reduced to the needs of honest, economics] and efficient government.\u201d The resolution which Sir Richard Cartwright asks the House of Commons to adopt declares that \u201cit Is expedient that In making provision to restore the equilibrium between revenue and expenditure the ex- Isting tariff be 60 modified that it may be made a tariff for revenue only.\u201d The failure of the National Policy to produce the necessary revenue is sim- Ply an incident of {tg general breakdown.But it is the incident which presses most nearly and against which the Liberal platform makes Immediate provision.Revenue is the question of the hour.It is admitted by all that for the present revenue must be obtained largely from the taxation of Imports.The present tariff, designed first for the protection of the manufacturers, has not been so adjusted as to derive the greatest amount of revenue from the most equitable distribution of the burden of taxation.Such a tariff as Sir Richard Cartwright, speaking for the Liberal party, proposes would do that.It is not necessary that Sir Richard should take tariff in one hand and pen fn the other and, running through the Act from cover to cover, inform the House and the country just how large a duty he proposes to place ou each article spe- cificd therein.Fe assails the protective tariff! on its basic principle, and when he calls tor a revenue tariff everybody knows what he means, The needs of the revenue must be satis- fled first.That will mean the disturbance of the interests of several of the bencfitiaries of the present system.It may not be denied that, until the Liberal party has reached the goal to which it ls striving \u2014 the gol of British free trade \u2014 this di=\u2018urtance will be from time to time revived, Protection has wrought too hav: wrongs in Canada to be allowed v 216 to rest in peace.It has ère À anl is maintaining intolerabla in\u2019 {eee against the people of Can- aca, and th: war against it will end v:., vi lis entire overthrow.But th- finmediate necessity is à fiscal mea- sur: which shall meet \u201cthe needs of honest, economical and efficdent gov- arnment,\u201d \u201ca tarif?for revenue only.\u201d That is the policy to which the Liberal party Is immediately pledged.The re- lorm will be pressed towards comple tion.as the reviving energies of a country, shackled for a generation by an unwholesome fiscal system, shall per- IMPORTERS AND THE CUSTOMS.The need tor a Dominion Board of Appraisers to act as a \"Court of Appeal\u201d in cases of dispute between importers and the customs authorities has time and again been manifested, and in the face of some most ridiculous rulings that have been made public, the Government can hardly fail to recognize that some such authority Is urgently necessary.Some of these matters of dispute, such as whether or not canary seed is edible, have already been referred to in these columns, and have caused considerablq trouble and annoyance to importers, however amusing they may be to the pub- He.In fact, we believe that it has not yet been proved to the satisfaction of the Controller of Customs that the seed referred to is not generally eaten by human beings, and should be admitted free of duty.\u2018 It is a matter then for congratulation that the petition published in the Herald some days ago has met with such general approval.It points out the want of uniformity tn the application of the tariff; ands as there is at present no satisfactory recourse or remedy in matters of dispute between importers and the several collectors of customs, it asks for the establishment by Parliament of a board of experts, with power to deal with all such questions and disputes, and also to act as a board of reference in matters of seizures.Such a board would undoubtedly be a benefit in more ways than one, and would certainly prevent such mistakes as seizing goods coming from the town of Sing Sing on the plea that they were prison made, as was the case a short time ago in this city.That merchants and importers generally are tired of the present slip-shod method of doing business is evidenced by their unanimity.Already all the prominent members of the drugs, surgical instruments, oils and paints, hats and furs, leather.liquor, spices and grocers\u2019 specialties, retail drugs, hardware, wholesale grocers, green fruit, boots and shoes, stationery, fancy goods, dry goods, tobacco and cigars and jewellery trades have signed the petition.In addition, the president and members of the coun- cii of the Board of Trade, the Corn Exchange \u2018and other associations have signed, and some thirty Boards of Trade in other parts of the country have already written endorsing the petition and promising their support.The probabilities are, then, that about the 20th May, the date so far fixed; a large number of copies of this petition, numerously signed, will be presented from both cides of the House, coming from all parts of the Dominion.The Montreal petition will be presented, it is expceted, by Hon.J.A.Ouimet and Senator Desjardins on behalf of La Chambre de Commerce, and Sir Donald A.Smith with Senator Ogilvie for the Board of Trade.The movement was inaugurated by Mr.Henry Miles, of the firm of Lyman, Sons & Co., and it was through his efforts that the council of the Montreal Board of Trade took the matter up.! The system foliowed in the United States might with advantege be adopted here.Importers having a competent board &nd ready means of settling disputes as tothe values andrates of duty, there exists no friction between customs and importers.The administration of the tariff and customs law is conducted upon a plan that insures the intended revenue to the Government, affords every satisfaction to the importers, and secures uniformity to the greatest possible extent.There are collectors of customs and appraisers of customs at the principal ports.All disputes as to classification or rates of duty, as to value for duty and kindred matters pertaining to customs are dealt with by what are called general appraisers.The President of the United States with the advice and consent of the Senate appoints nine general appraisers, who receive a salary of seven thousend dollars (37,000.00) a year.Not more than five ot this number can be appointed from the same poiiticai party\u2014they shall not be engaged in any other business or employment and may bz removed from office by the President for inctficlency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.This body or board of general appraisers answers for the United States.They are employed at such ports as the Secretary of the Treasury may from time to time prescribz, and, besides the specific powers and dutfes accorded them by law, they exercise under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury such other supervision over appraizements and classi! a- tion for duty as may be needful to secure lawful and unitorm appraisements and classification at the several ports.A board of three of these general appraisers are on duty (as a board) daily at the port of New York.The decision of any collector of customs can, by following a certain simple form clearly stated, be taken directly to a board of three general appraisers.The Board of Genera! Appraisers of the United States have the authority of a court to all intents ans purposes, can sudpoena witnesses, etc, and are authorized to administer oaths.The law of the United States further \u2018provides for carrying questions in dispute between the Government and importer to the regular courts of the United States, and in this case the evidence and proccedings Of the general appraisers or Board of General Appraisers form part of record.One of the duties of the Board cf General Appraisers is to make an abstract of the decisions of appraisers with as full description as possible, giving the full rate of duty, etc., and said abstract is issued from time to time\u2014at least once In each week\u2014for the information of customs officers and the public.In the re-organization of the Supreme Court, which Is eertain to take place at no distant period, it seems to be assumed as a matter of course that Mr.Angers wili be appointed to it.The only reasons given for his appointment are that he wants to leave the Cabinet for the bench, and his colleagues want to replace him with a stronger man.Not a word ls being said as to his qualifications for the important office for which he is destined.Mr.Angers\u2019 standing at the bar when he was a practising attorney and his record as & minor judge were such as to make it very doubtful whether his advent to the Supreme Court Bench would serve to strengthen it tn the public confidence.\u2014_ THE SIAM BATTLE.If the local militia men hold their present frame of mind, the Queen's Birthday sham battle and review will not take place.The Inclination to re- Mnquish the idea seems to be based In the failure of the Government to find funds for the men\u2019s pay.But even in that case the reluctance of the regiments to go on with their very praiseworthy intention is the result of a mistaken idea as to the cost of such a demonstration.The mistake seems to be fostered by certain of the commanding officers themselves, who have taken It into their heads that the sham battle could not be fought except upon the expenditura of large sums of money.How could large sums of money be spent ?Where would they go?It is more than probable that, if the matter were properly put to the men, there would be fcund no considerable proportion in any of the crack regiments of the city who would not be more than willing to bear from their own pockets the trifling expenses of such an outing.To say nothing of the value of such a demonsiration from a purely military standpoint, the men would have more fun, and at a less cost to themselves, In this than In any other form of Queen's Birthday celebration.The most considerable expense would be the cost of their ¢wn refreshments on the teld of battle, and that would be trifling.The substantial adventages which the regiments would derive from such a demonstration have been frequently pointed out, they should be obvious to officers and men alike.The idea should not be dropped until the last effort has been mate to bring the sham battle to a successful issue.It Is too good a thing to drop without a struggle.MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IN GAS.The Herald, in a recent article on municipal control vs.municipal ownership, with special reference to the experience of the city of Philadelphia under the latter basis, called attention to the bad showing the Gas Bureau of that clty had made during the year of 1894.The printed annual report, just at hand, confirms the result referred to and gives additional facts and figures of much value at the present moment.At the beginning of the year the Philadelphia City Council passed an ordinance reducing the price of gas to private consumers from $1.50 to the round price of $1.00, in the hope that increased consumption, in consequence of the greatly reduced rate, would yield the same satisfactory financial results that had marked previous experiences.The result has been a most disappointing one.Not only has the consumption not increased but it hes actually decreased some fifty million feet and with the loss of the fifty cents per thousand reduction the falling oft in the net revenue as compared with 1695 was $1,459,069.87.The net revenue in 1894 was but $192,410.81, and this without making any provision for interest upon the cost of the works; wear and tear; nor the taxes that a private company would have to pay were it operating the business.The approximate cost of the works, as previously stated, was $14,- 726,786.Five per cent.upon this would be $788,156.Allowing, say, two per cent.for depreciation, wouid make 3295,- 254 more, which, added to the interest charged, would make a total of $1,033,~ 880.Add another $150,000, which would be had in special and general taxes from any private company enjoying such a fine franchise, and deducting the surplus of $102,410.31, we have about $1,000,000 of a loss on the year's operations, Figuring the entire output of the works for the year, it shows that the cost has been over ninety cents per thousand feet of all the gas turned out.Another feature which would seem to indicate the unsatisfactory character of civic management is the item of unaccounted for gas, which Includes leakage.The percentage of unaccounted for &as in 1891, the first year of civic management, was 12.08, in 1892 13.66 per cent., in 1898 14.68 per cent, and in 1894 21.49 per cent.| The report abounds In remarks as to the general inadequacy of the plant to Properly supply the demand for gas, and the necessity of the expenditure of further large sums of capital in the increase of the efficiency of the works and the better distribution of the product.Philadelphia\u2019s civic experience in gas making and selling at §1 per thousand feet, after four years of experience, is an eloquent commentary on the proposition of Mr.Henry Sampson King that Montreal should allow him to embark her on a similar enterprise upon a cixty cent basis.If dollar per thousand gas making in Philadelphia with its mild climate and output seven times as large as ours has proved unprofitable, what shall be said of our chances of success on a basis of sixty cents per thousand cubic feet 2 Fred Henshaw warns the Government that {f it goes wrong on the drill pay question it might be time for him to look elsewhere for a Government that would go right.Other questions have wrung similar protests lately from quite as good Conservatives as our dashing colonel.The country at large has already begun to look elsewhere for a Government that shall know its business.But such a Government will not be composed of Conservatives.A cablegram in the Star last evening announced that Principal William Peterson, of Dundee University College, has been offered the principalship of McGill.\u2018The s\u2018atement is true.Dr.Peterson was virtually chosen last fall.When the Herald said so at that time it was met with vigorous denials.Technically there was ground for denial, as the governors had not gone as far as to record thelr selection; but practically the Herald was strictly correez.The definite offer cf the position to Dr.Peterson was made last month; and, as it is well understood that he will accept, the principalship may be regarded as filled.Dr.Peterson has been priucipal of Dundee College since 1882, and has classics and ancient history.It is a hazardous experiment which the governors of McGill are making in placing at the head of our great university a man whose training as an administrator has been obtained in a small Scottish college; and it is to be hoped their confidence will be justified by results.Members of the Government seem to be guilty of chronic \u201cindiscreet preci- pitancy.\u201d Sir Mackenzie Bowell\u2019s letter to Mr.McNeill, M.P., telling him that all the vacant senatorships have been promised Is a case in point.One cannot imagine *\u201c Old To-morrow \u201d making a break of that sort.Then Mr.Ouimet with his fine talent for blundering told his hearers at the National Monument on Tuesday that he had been demonstrating in the Cabinet that the French- Canadians not only were entitled to respect, but could command as well.Lieut-Governor Chapicau, who was present and heard this boast, must have felt that the mantle which he dropped in disgust two years ago has found its way to shoulders badly fitted to wear it.Controller Wallace, of the Customs Department, has been recently overhauling the duties paid on printers\u2019 materials, and thinks he has discovered that Printer Bowell, during the fifteen years he was in the Customs Department, failed to read the regulations of the Customs\u2019 Act aright.Under Sir Mackenzie's administration the duty on cases, cabinets, reglets, etc, was fixed at 25 per cent.; but Controller Wallace has decided that the proper duty js 30 per cent.Until a few days ago printers\u2019 brass rules were free; now the outrageous duty of 30 per cent.is imposed upon them.Has Mr.Wallace any special spite against the printers of Canada?The Reverend Noble, of Quebec, rushes into print to accuse the Reverend Barclay of having maligned the champions of the Protestant inmates of the Beau- port Asylum.Mr.Noble begs to remind our popular preacher \u201cthat truth is just as essential in negative as in positive assertions.\u201d Dr.Barclay replies, in the papers, to the following effect: \"I leave your readers to judge whether this called for or in any way justified the violent abusive language of the letter in question.The utterly groundless, vulgar and slanderous insinuations of the letter I treat with the profound contempt which they deserve.\u201d Laymen do well to keep out of such controversies as tits.The clerical vocabulary is too voluminous.Josef Hollman at the Windsor Hall to-night.American Turf Legislation.Albany, May 3.\u2014The Governor has signed the Gray racing bill, the two Wilds bills, forbidding pool selling or gambling of any sort, and the supplemental bill fixing a tax of five per cent.on the gross receipts of racing associations.The Governor names as the commission to govern racing: August Belmont, of New York;
