No other complaints are so insidious in their attack asthose aifecting the throat and lungs: none so trifled with by the majority of suffer. ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifling or unconscious ex- posure, is often but the beginning of a fatal sickness. AYER’S CHERRY PECTORAL has well proven its efficacy in a forty years’ fight with throat and lung diseases, and should be taken in all zases without delay. A Terrible Cough Cured, “In 1857 I took asevere cold, which affected my lungs. | had a terrible cough, and passed night after night without sleep. The doctors gave me up. 1 tried AYER’s CHERRY PEc- VORAL, which relieved my lungs, induced sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary for the recovery of my strength. By the continued use of the PECTORAL a perma- nent cure was effected. i am now 62 years old, haie and hearty, and am sat.stied your CHEEKY PECTORAL saved me. .

Editorial Notes. —The Governor of Dakota reports that the population of that territory is now in round numbers 416,000, There are in the territory 81,736 farms, con- taining 6,604,994 acres of improved land, and valued at $155,960,518. The rail- way mileage comprises 2,701 miles, and a number cf new enterprises of this character are under way. — The Montreal Gazette remarks that “ while supporters of the Conserva- tive party may regret the absence from the ministry of some recently retired members, it will be recognized that ip the accession of Messrs. White, Thomp- son and Foster, the Government has not Suffered loss of mental calibre, and has ,acquired the presence of young and } |Vigorous men thoroughly alert to the needs of the country.” That is so. — Dr. Geikie, writing to the Toronto | Globe, contradicts a false report that he ‘hai condemned the use of alcoholic liquors as a medicine, says: “I con- _demned the use of alcoholic drinks except ‘as a medicine, for «as such it has its place, which in many cases it is most important, while on the other hand, as admitted freely by every authority, persons in perfect health do not require stimulants in small or iu large quantities, I spoke of the great danger arising to maoy, from the occasional use of Stimulants, becoming habitual, and tried to enforce as strongly as _ possible my conviction, held for many years, that it is the duty of those in health who take ‘very little, to give it up for the sake of example, because they may by doing so ,be the means.of saving some {from absolute destruction, and may prevent many from reaching this terrible con- dition, Ispoke of this as involving exceedingly little self denia!, and as less than nothing in view of what the ‘Saviour did and _ suffered to save ' sinners.” { | — The fact that the “color line” ‘seems to be gradually fading out at the South is regarded as one of the most hopeful signs in the politics of that sec ‘tion of the continent. Hitherto nearly ‘all the colored voters at the South have ‘been Republicans, and the great mass of ithe white voters have been Democrats. | Such arace line of distinction in party politics naturally led Democratic white ‘voters to be indifferent, if not actually | hostile, to the political rights of Republi- ‘can colored voters. The practical result ‘has been avery cousiderable denial of these rights, especially in those states in | which the colored people form the ma- jorily of the popuijation. Now, how- ever, there are indications that the colored vote will hereafter be much more equally divided between the two parties. |When this shall become an established ‘and recognized fact, so that party politics will have nothing todo with the “color iline,” then both parties will alike defend ‘its rights; and this, while being the end of the ‘solid Democratic South,” will |be vastly better for both races, and for ‘the whole country, than the system which has existed at the Sbuth for several years past. —M. Pasteur’s critics manage to make out a pretly strong case whereon to base i theiy scepticism of bis mach talked of jinoculation. At the sitting of the Academy of Medicine, on Oct. 27th, M. ‘Jules Guerin made a long speech on the ‘subject, in which he pointed out that in ‘the case of the boy Meister the wounds made by the dog had been cauterized within twelve aours of their infliction, Furthermore, it was by no medns certain that he would have been attacked by hydrophobia even had the cautery not been used, jrad he not been inoculated by Pasteur, for statistics for the years 1881-82-83, furnished by the Depa*tment of the Seine, show that only | some 10 or 13 per cent. of persons bitten by mad dogs contracted the disease. Farthermore it is highly questionable if Pasteur’s rabbits were reaJly rabid, and not siniply suffering from a disease pro- voked by. the methed of operation. A fourth objection was urged on a subse- quent occasion by a well known surgeon, that there was no proot of the dog which bit Meister baving been realiy mad, the mere fact of hay and stubble having been foand in its stomach being no such proof, as dogs often eat such things to core them of temporary indisposition. —The following exhibit shows the surplus revenue colleeted by the Govern- ment from the people of the United States in the years mentioned: Years.

We believe in such a system of taxes as will enable the Government to pay off anoually some $40,000,000 or $50,000,009 of the public debt; but beyond this we would not carry the system of Federal taxation. The question of revising our tax system will undoubtedly come before Congress at the present session, All interval revenue taxes, ¢xcept those of intoxicat- ing liquors aud tobacco, should be repealed; and, while the principle of protection to American industry will not and should not be abandoned, our system of customs duties should be so modified as to collect a less amount from this source. An unnecessary surplus not only furnish- es a temptation to extravagance in public expenditures, but alse overtaxes the people.”’ Come what may, the people of the United States seem determined to stick to the policy of Protection. —Recently some one made himself re- spoasible for the statement that, in Port- land and Bangor, there are “more saloons to the population than inv New ‘York City.” Dr. Warren, of the Christian Mirror of Portiand, has made answer to the charge so far as it con- cerns Portland. He says, taking the word ‘‘saloon” as meaning the same thing in both cases—viz., places where intoxicants ere sold openly without hindrance fiom ‘the «authorities, there is :— ‘1. Of such saloons in the city of Portland, there is not one. ‘2. Of hotels which have a Public or private bar where liquors are dispensed, there is iot ons, Of secret places where liquors are kept and so!d with the knowledge and permission, tacit or otherwise, of the police authorities, there is not one. ‘4, Of such secret places, where violations of the law are practiced, and where legal evidence thereof exists, but prosecutions are not instituted through political or personal favor, there is not one, “5. In such secret places, the liquors which are kept are uniformly concealed in the most hidden and inaccessible spots that«re or can be con- structed in the premises, buried in the earth, be- hind cellar walis, in chimneys, in receptacles built into partitions er between fioors, under piles of wood or coal or ashes, in stablesand hen-roosts and pig-styes, under manure heaps, and some- times in privy vaults, connections with them being maintained through flexiole tubes furnish- ed with stop-cocks, ete. Very frequently, indeed, the entire supplies are kept upon the persons of the occupants, male or femaie, in their pockets or clothing. Even if a considerable qnantity of liquor were sold by such evasions of police vigilance, uo case could be made out of it against prohibition. Men have to be sunk very low in beast{iness to re- sort to such filthy places for liquor. When sellers are driven to such desper- ate devices, decent men are safe from temptation. ‘tp hi-—eiceniltaa tia lerionetily A Great Link. The rapidity with which the Imperial authorities have seized on the advan tages offered by the C. P. R. as evinced by the special train loaded with naval stores for Esquimault, which passed here last night, shows clearly the point from which they regard the line, as one of the great strategic highways of the Empire. These stores must have left Liverpool almost before the last spike was driven in the road. Viewed in this light the road becomes of enormous importance. Already the war clouds are looming up in the east. Be- fore long the reverses, which Servia is suffering, will almost certainly bring Russia to her aid, Such aid must have been secretly promised before Servia would have dared to commence hostili- ties. Whether or no the result of Russia’s intervention would be to pre- cipitate the inevitable struggle between herself and the great rival Asiatic empire of England it is impossible of courseto say. Such an event is at any rate by no means uvlikely. It may seem a long way from Esqui- mault to Servia, but a contest for exist- ence between two such powers as England and Russia could not be con- fined to any one corner of the globe. It may be remembered that !n 1879 Russia threatened to attack the great undefended seaport towns of Australia with a fleet of light armed cruisers, To ward of such a blow the Pacific squadron would have to be greatly strengthened, and Esqui- mauvit is the head quarters of that squadrov. Mere than this, io the event of the Suez canal falling into the hands of an unfriendly power, the C. P. R. would undoubtedly be the route by which troops would be sent to India. It is not at all unlikeiy that in this case Calgary would become a tem- porary campisg ground, Capt. Palliser, when he was here, was greatly struck with the natural advantages which this situation offered for such a purpose, par- ticularly for a halting place for cavalry, aud forwarded his views onthe matter to the Imperial authorities. Calgary may yet become a great strategic point in the defence of the Empire—Calgary Herald. Horsford’s Acid Phosphate, AS A REFRIGERANT DRINK IN FEVERS, Dr. ©, H. 8.
