The Tunnel.

The one point above all others in cor- nection with the agitation for th- tunnel—excepting the necessiw l°" flu, 3nd,,-t,.king...upon which all an agreed, isthe necessity of obtaining full and accurate statistics relative tv our trade and shipping etc., will which to support our claim in parlia- ment. The scssion is almost upon us’. Unless these figures are obtained the estimates ofour members will pas!- through many cars as idle dreams. Lastyear they were ridiculed and it .111 he go .g.in, Should we not

show our earnestness and de- termination iu this matter by 3 It was

disarming such criticism p hop“ ma urged that the Board of Trade should take up this matter. In fact a recommendation was made b)’ the Council that they should vote a suihcient sum of money for the pur- pose. The Board, however, has not taken av y action on it. P-rhsP9 ll" twenty-five or thirty members feel that it is too muchto ask them to pro- vide funds for a purpose in which the whole community should share. It seems to us that the Local Govern- ment is the proper body to move in this matter. Their predecessors in oflim set them a good example in fur- thering the tunnel project, which the public will expect them to follow. No stone should be left unturned until our case is complete and the Tunnel so cured. Statistics we need, statistics we must have. The expense need not be large and it will be money well spent. If the local government wish to deserve well of the people they will attend to the matter as soon as

"""" Civic Nominations

As a result of the nominatirns: for the City Council there will he no our test for the mayor-alty, or for council- lcrs in Wards One and Four, the Guannuzds and the pcople’s candi- dates in unopposed. In Ward Two a peculiar state of affairs has come about. There appears to be little doubt that Mr.‘C. E. Robertson is not qualified to act as City councillor, be- ing one of the sureties for Mr. Davison, City Clerk. The clause in the act. of incorporation, Sec. 4, Cap XII, on this point reads as follows :-

No person being in holy orders or being a minister or teacher, duly licensed by any denomination of Chris- tians in this colony, shall be qualified to be elected layer or a Councillor of the said ci‘y. " ‘* nor shall any person be qualified to be elected a Councillor of the said city "' * dur- ing such time as such person shall hold any ofice or place of profit in the gift or disposal of the said Cowncil, not during such time as he shall have directly or indirectly, by himself or his partner, any share or interest is any contract or employment with or on be- half of the Council. Provided that no person shall be disqualified from beinc a Councillor as aforesaid, by reason of his being a proprietor or shareholder ofany Incorporated Company.

This plainly indicates that Mr. Bob- ertson is disqualified, just as Mr. Ho- gan would have been had he not taken the proper course at the proper time. Under the circumstances a new elec- tion should be held for Ward Two.

In Ward Three Mr. L. E. Prowse‘s chances are excellent. Mr. Taylor and his friends of course are talking in the same strain “to keep their courage up" but_ the canvas tells a different tale. Hr. Prowse is a strong man and one who deserves anything but rejection at tharhands of the people. He has proved himself a generous hearted citizen and the public will hardly withhold their confidence from him when he seeks their sufi'rsges I . Mr. Taylor himself admits his wtthiness for the office, and were it be rather relishes . contest hardly have opposed him. Let

'. Prowse be elected then by s

_ majority.

In Ward Five Messrs Hughes, Hooper and McKay will probably go in. Only one candidate opposes alum and as he was not very anxious to give Ward Five equal rights with the gum- portion of the ciq he can hardly poll I Very large vote.

Wants Also to be Pope.

Prussia to he made orthodox by act of parliament Every man must be JIM such a Christian as the King wants him to he.

Losmrx, Feb. 2.—-The German emper- or, not content with being emperor, uovl wishes to be pope. That is pretty nearly the real meaning of the new education bill which the lower house of the Pa ussitm lantag has been so fiercely debating al this week. The object of this measure is to put the Prussian schools in the hands of the clergy, to make what is called re- ligious instruction obligatory, to exact In measure of conformity from all students, In Count Von Caprivi’s words, it is a bill against atheism. The chancellor and his imperial master seem both to believe that matters of faith are to he s ttl ll by eta tute, and that the people of Prussia tin prepared to put their consciences and their relations with God in the keeping of the king. The first effect of this new view was the resignation - f Herr Miqucl. minister of finance. lie ros':g_-us bu-ans. he thinks that this new crusade would up set his budget, a curious counnentary in- deed on the practical working of religion by act of parliament. The em- peror has refused to accept the resigna- tion; but even in Prussia it is not to compel a man to he minister who does not wish to be. The second efi'ect is‘to split up the government majority. The national liberals have broken away, Hid it is very doubtful whether without them a majority can be found for this amazing measure. Not all the conserva- tives can be depended upon. The first speaker against the bill was a comer-va— rive, Herr Wessell. He is conservative enough to wish to preserve to I’. ussia her freedom of conscience.

This bill would force doctrinal teaching upon the children of p-ir-;-nts who are op- p )S9d to doctrine. Herr Richter, the leader of the radicals, defined it as a bill to order every citizen to believe in astute God. It would force Jews to accept Christian teaching. Of course it would create martyrs. It sets up what are called in Prussia the confessions as supreme. The Jewish religion is not within this pale. Every prefect. said Herr Richter, would be a satrnp in his own province. Herr V —n Benningsen, the leader of national liberals, is not lesi- strong against the bill than Herr Richter. Liberals and radicals have joined hand- iu the efiort to save religious freedom.

Dr. Vir-chow spoke yesterday, de- nouncing the attempt to set up a pwlitical religion in Prussia. The bill leads straight, he declared, to the domination of an organized priesthood. Count Von Caprivi's reply was an admission, of the truth of these criticisms. He justified the bill on the express ground that the question was whether Prussians are to be Christians or atheists. This bill is to for- bid them to be atheists, to compel them to be christians, according to their King’: conception of Christianity. It lead to an extraordinary scene Cheers for Chan- cellor Von Csprivi from the right were answered by groans and hisses from the left. He has performed a very consider- able feat in politics, this dragoon minis- ter. He has united the entire left against himself and the government-—au exploit without precedent. Whether he will force his bill through, we shall know presently. Some of the Liberals hope to amend the worst features of it in com- mittee. but the worst feature of the hill is the principle on which it is framed.

Serfdom in Russia.

The statement that the Czar of Russia contemplates restoring serfdom in certain parts of the Empire, where the commer- cial system, in its actual operation, has proved a woeful failure, will be generally received as a sign of retrogression. It is, however, equally probable that the so- called emancipation of the serfs by the late Czar ‘was not the advance in either civilization; (‘I‘ even in liberty, which it was generally believed to be by strangers to Russian customs. Our readers may re- call that. on the first announcement of the present grievious famine, we gaveran outline of the Vicomte Combos de La- strade’s remarkable survey of the present condition of the peasants of Russia, in which it was urged, with the conviction of one who had seen for himself the son- sequeuces of emancipation, that, as car. ried out. it was a melancholy mistake, The bompte do Lestrade maintains that to-day thirty mi‘lious of peasants are in a state of practical slavery compared with which the condition of the serfs before 1861 was desirable; that the Emperor wassadlyemisinformed by those who counselled him to transfer to the Mir the rights and privileges of the neig- neurs; that the Russian village communi- ty has been absurdly over-praised; that it is a system under which freedom and initiative and prosperity (save for a few) are impossible. The fact is that serfage still exists under another name; but the old-time provision which ensured the peasant thrall his food and clothes and shelter has disappeared. The corclusion that M. de Lestrade reached was not, however,that serfdom should be restored, but that the present Czar should com- plete the conception and intention c f his illustrious father by giving to his thirty millions of peasants a liberty that would he not apparent merely but real.

Pointer for Advertisers .

No one who will take the trouble 00 look into the matter can doubt that there are many articles now re ula!‘lY 0“ Ell? market which might be vertlled Will! good profit in a general way. Some of them , their own merits and without pushing. Thi. condition of things seems to_ be satisfactory to the proprietor; possibly because he does not realize how profit- ably advertising would be for him, possi- bly bccause he does not know how logo about it. In either case he needs waking

up.

Well-written advertisements are more than fifty cent news. Assertions can be made and sustained that there are cases on record where there has been more real brain matter expended on the making up of an advertisement than in the construed tion of many pages which rest under the 'dignified name, literature.-—[South Bend

1nd,) Tribune.

Never fix the price of anything so low that you can't all?-rd to advertise it.

Circulars hit only once, if at all. and are then cousigmd to the waste-basket.

Don't advertise apasmodically—-keep at it. Your particular line of goods may not he wanted to-day: they will be sought to-mor-row, or the day after.

Don't run the same card from January to December. Change occasionally. Don't get into a rut. Have some vim.

People won't and can't guess that you have a good thing. flSuccess means thought. It costs no more to publish good matter than poor. Prepare your matter cart fully; make it. attractive; don't crowd; let your catch lines be bold‘.

(',.-en, fnrtllnes made by a¢l\'er(ism Napoleuns are often referred to. But who has counted the moderate fortunes, the conrtortahle cvmpetcncies, and the steady sources of income that are to be credited to newspaper advertising? To dispence Wldl) advertising would dry up commerce and turn back civilization.--
