Political feeling cannot |}mprove the demand for coal, and save the coul companies from having to resort to ‘such severe restriction of production, in the effurt to maintain prices, as has just forced ithe Reading Company into final bankruptcy. | lt cannot make Europe buy our wheat, so that the railread companies will no longer be ‘forced to hanl it from Chicago to ithe seaboard at two cents loss, as is esti- ‘mated, on every 100 pounds hauled.

We were in the very top wave of the great commercial and financial boom in July, 1881, whcn President Garfield was shot; yet the decline which then began was so slow in its cpera- tion that in the year 1882 the vast addition of 11,300 miles was made tothe railroad mileage of the country, representing the issue of new securities equal to $539,000,.-
not 10 per cent. of it could possibly return interest on the investment short of two years at the earliest; and in 1883, we built about 7,000 miles more. With this immense inflation of the bulk of securitics, we havesuf- fered from deficient crops, and loss of control of the European wheat market, while the depressed condition of the cotton trade is even now causing a serious decline in our cotton exporis, colton being our largest article of export. These are the things which have caused the prices of securities to decline, which have driven the general public from the stock market, impoverished by its losses. The public will come back when it has saved money agair—when trade has been profitable and the profits seek investment. It requires time for that.”

The Situation in South Africa.
‘‘A Natal Colonist” writes to the Pull Mall Gazette that, though the public mind is so much occupied at vresent by the affairs of Egypt, ‘‘it is onty natural that those whose lot is cast in any of the South African colonies should have a deeper and more personal interest in what is oceurring in their own immediate neighborhood.” After quoting what he had written three months ago, in which he attributed all the misery of Zululand to neglect on the part of the Government of colonial public opin- ion, and the advice of its own representa- tives, he goes on to say:—‘*The only possible reparation which can be made for the cruelties of the past is one of two courses: either let the English retire completely from the ridiculous position they occupy in this country and let the best man win—in which case, in the event of continued distarbance, the Trans. vaal will soon restore peace—or take a plebiscite of the people, and if they desire it, as they do, let the country be annexed at once, nut to Natal, but to the Empire; then let European magistrates be placed over them, each supported by twenty native police, all subject to one supreme Resident,
and peace will be assured and the country self-supporting, as taxes would be willingly paid for protection and good government.” He condemns the settlement made after the war, and still more emphatically blames
the restoration of Cetewayo against the unanimous desire of the whvle colony of Natal. The provision that no white men should be allowed to settle in Zululand he condemns as especially unwise, and thinks that, altogether, England’s policy after Ulundi was marked by the strangest ne-

Coming Back to Their Senses.
The Electrical Engineer, in discussing electric lighting from a commercial point of view, seems to point out that electricians are at last getting back to a proper state of mind, when dealing with their favorite sub- ject—viz., what electricity is to accomplish in the field of artificial lighting. This is about the way the above-named authority now puts it—‘‘Whatever the future popu- larity and success of the electric light may be, it appears to be generally conceded that little or no profit can be derived from its

Improved Butter Making.
| Making butter by rule of thumb, will not janswer nowadays. Professor Sheldon tells us that Continental dairymen study the the principles of their art: ‘‘they follow out the most approved systems and adopt the most modern utensils.” The result is, taking Sweden as an example, that Swedish ‘butter has a first place in the English market, and commands ten or twelve cents per pound more than Canadian dairy,
A strong example of the effect of modern scientific appliances and methods in butter making is given by a Canadian gentleman who visited the Eastern States last June, and was shown through the Moulton Brothers’ stock and dairy farm, at Ran- dolph, Vermont, where there are a hundred Jersey cows, some of them the best in the United States. Says the pamphlet: ‘‘Here we found the most admirably appointed creamery Which any of the strangers had seep. Its construction, ventilation and fitting were, to our eyes, faultless; and the minute care observed to keep its every corner and utensil clean and sweet, free from contact with injurious substance or even odor, would bea revelation to many a farmer, ’
"Those who, in Canada, are struggling to further her important dairy interests by re- forming the butter industry, so that the butter made in the Dominion shel] equal its cheese in quality, couid scarcely impress laissez aller dairymen more strongly than by taking them to an establishment such as this and showing them what stress is laid upon cleanliness and method, The resu]t, measur- ed in dellars and vents, will prove to the farmer's pocket if it does not to his palate, the worth of special care and technical knowledge; for the price obtained for butter from this dairy ranges from sixty-five cents per pound this week, $1 per pound in the winter season.” (Notes of a June Coaching Trip in New England, page 43.) While as we have said, the step indicated above is to be welcomed as a beginning, it can hardly be expected that the needed improvement will be suon brought about by one model creamery. Might there not, with advan- tage, be several /

The Duke of Argyll’s Opinion.
‘*Tt is a fact that none of us should ever forget,” says the Duke of Argyll, in his ar- ticle on ‘‘The Prophet of San Francieco,” **that the moral faculties of man do not as
certainly revolt against iniquity as his reasoning faculties do revolt against absurdity. All history is crowded with illustrations of this
distinction, and it is the only exptanation of a thousand horrors. There has seldom been such a curious example as the im- moral teachings of Mr. Henry George. Here we have a man who probably sin- cerely thinks he is a Christian and who sets up as a philosopher, bat who is not the least shocked by consequen- ces which abolish the Decalogue and deny the primary obligations both of public and of private honour, This is a very curious phenomenon, and well deserv- ing of some closer investigation. What are the erroneous data ~what are the abstract propositions—which so over- power the moral sense, and coming from the sphere of speculation dictate such flagitious recommendatiuns in the sphere of conduct? To this question I may per- haps return, not with exclusive reference to the writings of one man but with reference to the writings of many others who have tried to reduce to scientific from the laws which govern the social developments of our race, and who in doing so have forgot- ten—strangely forgotten—some of the most fundamental facts of Nature.” ~—_—--
United Germany.
The foundation stone of the new parlin- ment buildings was laid on the 9th of June, by the Emperor, in the presence of a bril- liant assemblage. The Emperor's speech was read by Bismarck. It says that, through the successes of the united German arms, the empire has attained a greatness before undreamed of. The confidence existing between the Federal Govern- ments gave strength to protect the consti- tution and ensure national development and prosperity. May the work which will in future be done in this building be devot- ed only to order, liber.y, justice and equal iove for all classes of the le. May peace at home and abroad attend the erec- tion of this edifice, and may it be found a visible sign of the undissoluble bonds which have united the German States and people in great and glorious days.

It is to be hoped that the statement that
production at a price unit of effective light
below that of illuminating gas. Perhaps
the most serious of the many mistakes which have been made in the esta- blishinent of electric lighting as a _profit- able and permanent business was the pre- mature announcement of many of its en- thusiastic promoters that it would be found to be a cheaper illuminant than gas, which, with certain exceptions due to the presence of special conditions, has not proved to be the case. Had the ground originally been taken that the light was of better quality, more healthful and more convenient—in fact that it was a luxary, well worth its increased cost to those who could afford to use it, the public demand for it might per- haps not have been quite so rapidly de- veloped, but there can be ne doubt that the business would have been in a far more sat- isfactory condition to-day than it actually is.” The cure is almost as bad as the dis- ease ; but itis rather a pity that the cure

the police are on the track of the men who caused the recent explosions in London is true, and still more to be hoped that they will be captured. These outrages were of such a flagrant nature, so purposeless and so calculated to destroy innocent victims as to remove the authors of them wholly from human sympathy. Occasionally there are crimes which spring into existence that are of so heinous a char- acter as to arouse feeling of revenge in the public breast, so that exceptional furms of punishment are demanded. Such was the case with the garoters who for some time terrorized the cities of England a quarter of a century ago. The application of the lash to that form of crime put a stop to garot- ting, and it looks as if some such remedy would have to be applied to the users of dynamite.
