Prince Bismarck is not returned on the first poll, he will be elected on the next.This is as much a disappointment to the Kaiser and his Cabinet as to the Socialiste, and everything is being done to hurry forward the Austro-German commercial treaty, to which it is apprebend- ed Bismarck would offer full opposition in the Reichstag.The Duke and the Czar, BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.Loxpox, April 16.\u2014A Berlin despatch says that the Kaiser has refused the request of the Grand Duke Michaelovitch for intercession with the Czar ih his bebalf, holding that the Czar, as , head of the Hous?of Romanoff, had a right to act entirely in bis own discretion in refusing to approve the marriage of the Grand Duke with the Countess Meremberg.The Kaiser, himself, is said to have spoken of the marrlage as one that ought not to have taken place, and to be in sympathy with the Czar on this particular question.Although a daughter of the House of Nassau, the Countess is not recognized as a member of the reigning families of Germany, her mother having heen married Morganatically to Prince Nicholas of Nassau and having been a Russian of rather inferior extrac- tior.The rage of the Czar is very great.He might have had no objection to a Morganatic marriage,but he considers the action of the Grand Duke in making tbe Countess & Grand Duchess to be a ttain on the House of Romanoff.The serious matter for the Grand Duke is that the Czar has cut off his supplies and vnless bis Imperial kinsmau relents he may have to do something for a living.To Reform the Tariff, BY CABLE TO THE

Evidence Pointing to Bram as One of the Men Who Killed Mrs.Richards.BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.ErkroN,Md., April16.\u2014The excitement in Cecil county over the murder of Mrs.J.G.Richards and the wounding of Mr.Richards has not abated.Tke Richards homestead is the centre of attraction, which draws crowds of people from the surrounding country.Amcng those who have taken an active part in the case Is an old friend of Mrs.Richards, old Farmer Mulligan.He undertook to trace the footsteps made by the two murderers after they leaped from the front porch after baving committed the deed.Slowly and with great pains he traced them across tbe terrace lawn to the picket gate, which the assassins had burst open in their flight, across the road into Farmer Coates\u2019 wheat field, marking with a short pes each foctstep as he measured it.The trail led him across Yarmer.McMullen\u2019s ploughed field into a pasture containing many briars.e saw where they had plunged headlong into a clump of briars and wers compelled to retreat befors they could start on their way again.Leaving the pasture the tracks led for nearly a mile along what is known as Mills Bluff, where the ground was hard.Sometimes he did not peg a footstep for nearly half an hour,but on hands and knees searched until the connecting link was found.* The old farmer traced the footprints two miles from the Richards homestead until they ended at a rocky plateau, which is scarcely more than 15 yards from the rear of the house of young George Bram and his father.The former is now in Elkton Jail When Bram was seen in jail to-day be stoutly maintained his innocencs and declared that he was not near the scene of the murder Sunday night.He carelessly added, \u201cWell, I don\u2019t careif they do lock me up in jail.I won't get more than a life imprisonment, anyhow.\u201d His father is known as \u201cGiant Bram,\u201d and bas been a source of terror in the neighborbood.It is said that a bone button found in the Richards hous» exactly corresponded with those on the prisoner's vesr, one of which had been torn off.Mr.Richards\u2019 condition remains unchanged.He has said scarcely anything about the murder.When told that Bram bad been arrested he said he could not possibly identify his assailant.The old town is restless to-night, and many rumors of lynching are still heard.Tbe authorities are on guard, however, and any attempt at violence will be frustrated.The inquest on the body of Mrs.Elizabeth Richards was held late this after- poon by Cordbner Litzenburg.Mr.Richards testified.His story of the assault did not differ from that story already told in The Herald.The jury agreed that \u201c Mrs.Richards came to her death from a gunshot wound inflicted by a person unknown,\u201d Special Detective C.Edward Otley went to York, Pa., this afternoon, and late this evening brought to Elkton the two men arrested there on suspicion of being the murderers.They gave their names as Lewis and Ciarence Clear- mount.It is said that one-half of à porcelain button was missing from the coat sleeve of one of the men, and that it corresponded minutely with the half found on the Richards premises.Neither of the men can give an account of himself on the fatal night.A lynching par.y js feared to-night and the jail is well Suarded.It was also developed to-day that George Bram was one of the men who aesaulted Mr.Richards in the spring of 1886 on the highway.The authorities declere they have found the right men.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 Fire Record.BRADFORD, ONT., April 16.\u2014Last

That Somehow or Another Get There.TRYING TO REDUCE RATES.A Notable Gathering-\u2014Trying to Redace the Interest-The Inflnence of Wealth is Well Illustrated.BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD, A1LBAKY, April 16,\u2014The predominant influence of wealth was never better il- lustratedjthan inthe{Senate Chamber this afternoon at the hearing before the San- ate General Laws Committee on the bil to reduce the legal rate of interest to 5 per cent.Had as many representative farmers come here to speak in favor of this bill as bankers and merchants gath e-ed oppose it, thers would not have been a flurry in any of the departments; no interest would have been taken in the hearing, To-day how different! Every one knew they were here and the com- morest remarks were, \u201cHave you seen the New York millionaires?\u2019 or, \u201cSay, the Senate Chamber is full of millionaires.\u201d Everybody betieves that they will cause the defeat of the bill, Meanwhile, down on the lower floor, a gentleman sat in a room, totally undisturbed by this demonstration of money, having just done am act which the millionaires would have had presented it they could.Gov, Hillis for the per cent bill.He believes in it to such an extent that as far as Le is able he has made it in some respects the law of the State, for Le had just signed a bill to reduce * the rate of interest on bonds and mortgages held by the commissiouers of the United States Deposit Fund.\u201d Hereafter when the Etate lends money it will charge only 5 per cent.With the bill he filed this memorandum : The act proposes to reduce the rats of interest to be hereafter collected by the commissioners of the United States deposit fund on the real estate mortgages held by such commissioners in the State.The reduction is from 6 to 5 per ceat, Over $6,000,000 has been loaned by such commissioners on farming lands in this State for which mortgages are how held by them, and the reduction of the interest eflected by this bill, affords a partial and timely relief to the agricultural communities especially interested.This reduction is believed to be in accord with a growing public sentiment, which seems to desire a lower rate of intarest on money, and which may tend to pave the way for further general legisla'ion upon the subject.Davip B.Hun, J.Edward Simmons, of New York, opened the hearing before the committee with a printed argument to the effect that the bill would drive untold millions out of the State and would deal a prostrating blow to the credit system upon which our great business fabric is built up and on which the commercial supremacy of New York rests.President Smith ofthe New York Produce Exchange, and Alexander Orr of Brooklyn, followed in substantially the same line.- Representing the New York dry goods trade, Mr.Holmes argued that the Canton Commission bill should be passed as à conservalive measure to prevent radical changes in the tax which tend to disturb business.Representatives of business interests, banks and savings banks, of Buffalo, Albany, Rochester, Utica, Rome, Syracuss spcke briefly against the bill, and filed the protests of the organizations they represented.Assemblymau Kennedy, of Onoudaga, favored the bill in a lengthy arguement.He said the farmer could be loaned to as cheaply as to big merchants.The rates of interest, no matter how they are lowered, are always made usurious by money lenders.Assemblyman Gifford, Prasident of the State Grange, believed the farmers of the State wanted this bill The farmer now puts his small savings in the bank and obtains 3 per cent.interest theraon, while he is compelled to pay 6 on borrowed money.The committee took no action on the bill and adjourned until tomorrow morning.tle Flood At Ingersoll, BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.INGERsoLL, April 16.\u2014Owing to the heavy rains the mill stream *that runs through the centre of the town was considerably raised, and where it crosses King-street the water had undermined the west wall of Campbell's block, which fell with a terrible crash at 6.30 this morning.The first storey in the block was occupied by Mr.James McIntyre, underiaker and furniture dealer.The falling of the wall let the floors down on a steep incline into the stream, and nearly all the stock was shot into the water and carried on down the river.A procession of coffins down the Thames was a novel sight, Efforts were made to save the goods, but, owing to the high wat-r and the rapidity with which the stream runs, it was impossible to save much.An estimate of the loss cannot be made at present.-\u2014_\u2014\u2014e A Romantic Marriage, BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD, CrrcaGo, April 16 \u2014Despatches from

Him\u2014The Mena One of the Best That Could Be Prepared\u2014Good Music and Funny Mottoes, After many weeks of hard work and the expenditure of more money than the majority of such organizations can afford, the Montreal Junior Conservative Club ball took place last evening.St.Lawrence hall has seen many gatherings, social, political and otherwise but zeldom has Mr.Henry Hogan so well prepared his popular hotel for the reception of guests as he did last night.From the beautiful reception rooms to the ball rcom no pains whataver were spared to make the guests feal that they were welcome, and when about 8 o\u2019clock the Conservatives, young and old, commenced to arrive, he must have felt thas the old hostelery never presented so welcome an appearance, It was a social event, but as ever the youthful Conservatives, like those who have set them the example, were jealous of anyone, and eyeryone who was not directly counected with the young and likewise 1nexperienced club to which they belonged, and the result was that in preparing the invitation list for last evening they reached the height of smallness.Just three repres:ntitives of Tory journals were invited to be present; the Liberal Press, in spite of the assertions of a prominent member of thea club that the affair was a society event, we-e uninvited.It was intended that ue bail should be à decided \u201cscoop\u201d upon every Liberal paper and the resuit was that the \u201cyoung and liberal\u201d Conservatives thought that only their frienés on the Tory prees would be be there to t-11 what took place at the \u201cJunior Ball.\u201d Their efforis were, however, far from.successful.The Herald, with its usual enterprise, wae right there upon the scene and every little incident which transpired is written in the note book of the representative of Canada\u2019s independent journal.It would not do, perhaps, to tell all these little happenings, but The Herald, as a live newspaper, is prepared to tell the interesting facts concerning an assembly which must be recognized as one of the most successfal social events the season has known.Had it been a Liberal] gathering, the Tory press would probably not recognize it, but in this cage it is a newspapper against a clique of Conservatives and as usual the press comes out at the head of the contest.The story of the ball can be told without wasting columns of space and this The Herald is now doing, The Junior C, C, Ball No one who attended the gathering will for one moment deny the asssrtion that it wes a grand suscas\u2014as numbers go; and as far as a rarlly capital management of the reception, ball and dininz rooms are concerned.\"The splendid parlors of the Hall looked simply beautitul and every preparation had evideatly been made to receive the guests in a manner becoming to the youngsters of the Conservative party, which for the sake of appearance, nearly always adds the name of its op- ponent\u2014Liberal\u2014before its pseudonym.It was not much past 8 o'clock when there appeared in the main reception room at least 100 ladies and grentlemen ready for the occasion.Here and there might be noticed the Mia- isters of the Crown, flitting among the people and looking for the congrata- lations which their friends showered upon them.Congratulations upon their several narrow escapes and expressions of condolence for those unfortunate ministers who were snowed under atthe election which the successful ones were now celebrating.Fashionable gociety\u2019s representatives were present from Ottawa and several other cities and even Montreal sent its delegation of many ladies and gentlemen; people who are in the line of fashion but whose right to this place is questioned by the youngsters who invited them when they anmounced that it was purely a political gathering.Halt an hour was spent in pleasant conversation, and at last someone, no one knows who, declared that it was time a move was made for the ball room.Down went everybody.There was no advance guard; no formal grand march, but at about 9 o'clock the large dining hall was just nicely filled by a gathering, which did more than credit to those who invited them especially when it is remembered that the youthful Conservatives tried their best to prevent the only unfettered press from reporting the doings of the occasion.The dance program was as

An Interr.+ Argument Led to : @ xar- rel.a THE SBUPREME COURTS\u2019 VIEW The Singer Case is to be Made a De- fendant\u2014It Questions the Right of the Controller of Georgian to Control its Business\u2014It is Important to Operators.\u2014\u2014\u2014 SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD.WASHINGTON, April 16.\u2014The Sai- preme Court Judges had before them yesterday the case of the Singer Maru, facturing Company against the Comptroller of the State of Georgia, in which the Company sought to restraia th State fiom collecting a license fee for th yrivilege of gelling sawing machines by retail agents in that State.The case gave rise to a question whether a State statute imposing such a condition, when applied to manufacturers of another State as a condition precedent to selling goods made in that other Stats in the State of Georgia, is void absolutely, becauss it trenches upon the rizbt to regulate commerce between the several States exclusively confided by the Federal constitution to Congress; or whether such a statute would be void only when it expressly or in effect creates an unfair discrimination between ite own citizens and the citizens of other States.\u2018When the case was called Justices Bradley and Brewer were absent, being reported ill of the provailing grip, of wbich Washing on is full.r.Gros- venor Lowrey, of New York, for the Singer Manufacturing Company, opaned tbe case, and at the close of his remarks the court interrupted the prog ress of the argument, the Chief-Justice saying that in the opinion of all the justices present the case was too important to justify 1ts being decided by less than a full bench.Accordingly, aîter some explanatory remarks by Clifford Anderson, of Macon, Attorney- General of Georgia, and Judge George Hillyer, of Atlanta, the court allowed 15 days for the filing of further briafs to be submitted to all the judges, the case to be determined by the full court, as cases ordinarily are which are submitted on printed briefs without oral argument.The increase of license laws in Stit2s striving to raise revenue from non-resi- dents, and which laws mostly require the payment of a fee \u2018from drummers and other representatives of non-resi- dent merchants and manufacturers, causes this case to be of exceptioral importance, notwithstanding there have been many decisions during recent years, each of which seemed to cover all questions which could arisa under the so- called commerce clause of the Constitution of the United States.The action above taken by the Supreme Court is said to be without prace- dent.It has never betore listened to a part of an argument and then stopped it on the ground that the Judges were un~ willing to decide it, except upon either a bearing (the date of which would have been too uncertain in this case to be ao- ceptable), or a submission of points to go before all the Judges.CAUSED A GIRL'S DEATH, Dr, Harris and the Parents of Carrie Go- rard Indicted for Manslanghter, BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.Newsura, N.Y., April 16,\u2014The grani jury in Justice Dykman\u2019s cour: this morning found indictments for manslaughter in the first degree against Dr.Louis A.Harris, of this city, and Louis and Mrs.Elizabeth Gerard, of Wap- pinger\u2019s Falls.The indictments are in connection with the death of 15-year-old Carrie Gerard, the only daughter of the couple named, which occurred in New- burg on Dec.31 last The body of the girl was placed in a vault in Wappingers Falls on New Year's Day, but in the middle of February a post mortem examination at the inquest revealed the fact that Carrie had been shockingly treated.Dr.Harris was the attending physician, and he had certified that death was caused by pneumonia.He ard Mr.and Mrs.Gerard wer: arrested after the ine quest, all three beirg charged with complicity in the death of the girl, They were held by Recorder McCroskery at Newburg tor the action of the Grand Jury, Dr.Harris furnishing $5000 bail and the parents of the dead girl giving bonds in $1500 each.Dr.Harris renewed his bond to-day in Justice Dykman\u2019s court, in the same amount as before, to appear for trial at the next Court of Sessions, at Goshen, in June.His bonds= men are Peter A.Harris and Thomas Harris, of Red Hook, Dr.Harris\u2019 father and uncle, respectively.The Gerards will be arraigned before Justice Dykman to plead to the indictment to-morrow morning, It has not been shown who was responsible for the trouble Carrie Gerard was in shortly before the time of her death.A

Till the last Momeut\u2014The Racing at Guitenburg\u2014 The PoolSelling Difficulty-\u2014Pringle gives His Opinion about long Armed Fightors\u2014 Famous Chess Player Dead, The news sent forth that the famous race horse Tenny has broken down has caused quite a stir in racing circles and on all sides could be heard expressions of regret at the sudden ending of the bright career of this little away-backed champion.His owner, D.T.Pulsifer, Was at Gouttenburg during the afternoon and was the recipient of expressions of sympathy from all quarters.When asked if the breaking down was as serious as first reported, Mr.Pulsifer said: \u201cI am afraid it is; still I hate to give up hope, and will do so only at the last minute.His trainer, bowever, haggiven up acd feels that Tenny bas run his last 1ace.Ihave declared him out of all his engagements, as of course, it would be impossible to run him this eason even should he recover.\u201d The New York Herald prints a different story, which is as follows: Tenny is not a broken-down race horse.He is lames, seriously lame, it is true, in that apy ailment of a thoroughbreds\u2019 legs is bound to be more or less serious.But that he is broken down, gone from the turf fcrever, as men fels bound to believe when they heard à story that went the rounds yesterday, is far removed from the realms of truth.Eurus was said to be broken down at the end of the season of 1889, yet he raced through all the meetings of 1890, winning many a race and gathering in something like $17,000 for his owner.He ig still in training.Troubadour was said to be broken down three or four times before his racing career wag really ended.The same was true of The Bard, of Raceland, of Kingston, and of other flyers too numerous for one to recall to mind.At the Dwyer eale last fall the 4.year-old colt Long Island was knocked down for the paltry sum of $120, bidders believing him to be a hopeless cripple.Yet \u201cDan\u201d Honig fixed him up, and in avery few months won upward of half a dozen races with him.But Tenuy isn\u2019t half es badlv off as any one of tLese that I have named.about the same condition as a man with a sprained ankle.He will be longer in getting better than a man would, but has the same favorable chance of recovery, He will need a longer rest than a human being would under similar cir- cumetances, but at the end of that season of retirement from activity he should be in almost as good shape as be ever was betore.Trainer \u201cSnip\u201d Donovan, than whom there is no shrewder handler of racehorses in this country, who has had charge of Tenny during the whole of his remarkable racing career, ; bad the famous \u201clittle away- back\u201d out on the track at Morris Park yesterday morning and had him trotted 8lowly twice around the course.Would he have done such a thing with a broken down horse.Not much, for that would surely have put the finishing touch to his destruction.Had Tenny shown signs of anything worse than a lameness he would have been kept inside his stall and not taken out to go through even the semblance of work.Tenny pulled up lame after bis three- mile trot of yesterdey morning, lamer perbaps than he was after nis mile gellop of Thursday last, when the present trouble first showed.But not even then wus a veterinary surgeon summoned to examine him and to preicribe for the injury.No veterinarian has yet seen enny and none wiil be invited to see him, unless his leg gets much worse.The trouble is\u2019 said to lie in the coronet of bis off hird fuot.Yet when I saw Tenny in his stall yesterday afiersoon he showed no sign of the alleged injury.There was no swelling of the part and no fever present, He rested the weight of bis quarters, firet on one foot and then on the other, and, if at all, he favored the good leg more than the one which was said to be burt.Trainer Donovan was not present when I saw the horse, so I was unable to obtain his opinion.Mr.David T.Pulsifer, the owner of Tenny, was at the Guitenburg race track yesterday afternoon and said that he had declared the horse out of the Brooklyn and Suburban handicaps.Thus the money bet on him for those events in the winter books is lost, as all bets are \u201cpay or play.\u201d Tenny was a fovo- rite in both events and a lot of money has been lost on him.Racing at Guttenberg.BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD, GurrenserG, N.J., April 16.\u2014The racing bere to-day fumished some of the most exciting contests that frequenters to this track have seen for several months.Nearly every winner was well backed, and as the prices against them were large, the bookmakers suffered accordingly.Jockey Bergen characterized his reappearance in the saddle by capturing tbree races, each by a head, his riding Loing an admirable exhibition of jockeyship.Bergen also rode Romance, sn outsider, in the third race, and was only defeated by à short head after a grand finish.The last race of the day was the Press Handicap, in which seven of the best horses at the track faced the starter.They all sold pretty even in the books, but Mr.T.Downing\u2019s horse Endurer carried the most money, and was the public favorite.He easily disposed of his fast opponents after trailing along well in the stretch.The race was run in the fastest time ever run over the track, and shows what a fast horse Endurer is just at this time, His stable is said to have won & barrel of money on the race, as commissioners were sent all over the country.The track was in fair condition, but nct as fest as it might be.The Pool Difficulty, Tite New York Sporting Life says: \u201cThere is stilla way out of the pool room difficulty, although some say the rooms are now dead, and in spite of the .convietion of Samuel Fisher, manager of of the place on West Twenty-ninth- street\u2019 remarked an official connected with the court in which the verdict was found to a party cf friends yesterday.\u201cMoreover,\u201d Le continued, \u201cif they had adopted the plan before the trisl no conviction could bave been found in the Fisber cese; but, po, they were too cock sure after the Van Brunt decision \u2018to give themselves a little extra bother.\u201d He is in.All that the pool sellers will bave to do in future is to really transmit to the race track all wagers received from would be investors, and keep a record of all transactions.Thereby, when brought into court hereafter, the defendants will not only be able to go upon the stand but to produce the books of their establishment to prove they did act as common carriers.\u201cDespite the law holding that a defendant not going upon the stand is not to work injury to his case in the minds of the jury, it does.That was what convicted Fisher and came go nearly being fatal to the others on trial with him as well.The pool rooms have now a special wire to the track and an operator at each end, so that the cost of transmission will be slightly, if any, greater.The operator at the track can place the wagers or an arrangement can be made with a friendly bookmaker for the use of his name as having accepted the wugers transmitted.No additional charge for commission need necessarily be entailed on the speculator by this plan, although it will afford an excuse for 80 doing by those pool sellers who wish to make a little more money in that way.Besides, as the pool sellers naturally hold their odds at a somewhat safer figure than canbe had at the track, they can afford to keep the commission at the former figure or thereabouts.The only way in which the sol rooms will be affected is that it will be necessary to stop receiving wagers a little £ooner tban is now done, 80 thatthe record may not show the receipt of bets after the bookmaking has ceased on each race at the track, but even this drawback may be obviated in eome way.What procured a conviction the other day was that the defendants dared not go on the stand, there was no evidence produced to show that a commission business was carried on.and the detective swore he made a bet/at 1:55 and the race was over five minutes after.Inspector Byrnes to Stop Gambling On the Race Track, Endless protests against betting on horse races have been made from almost every quarter and now Inspector Byrnes wbo is also acting superintendent of police in New York bas come to the conclusion says The Herald that this form of gambling ought to be stopped.There are lots of people who would rather emigrate straight to Greenland\u2019s icy mountain or seek new pleasures amid India\u2019s coral strands than live in a city where they couldn't play tbe races.But Inspector Byrnes probably knows a little more concerning whatis going on in this town than anybody else.It is his business.He is not an idealist.He reasons from facts and not from theories.And when he unburdens bimself of any subject that concerne public welfare and morality he is therefore worth hearing.At my solicitation yesterday he gave me the benefit of some of his observations and cogitations concerning horse racing and the betting which is inseparable from it, and to which the recent decision in the Fisher case, leading to the closing of the pcol rooms in this city, has again drawn public attention.\u201cThe craze for betting; on horse races for it really amounts to a craze\u2014is spreading aniong all classes of the cor- munity,\u201d raid the inspector when I had got him started, \u201cand is exercising a very demoralizing effect.I am in a position to know of what I speak.It bz- gets poverty, unfits men for steady occupation, creates shiftlessness, leads to drunkenness and dissipation and very often to crime.Not a week goes by that we don\u2019t have to hunt up young men who have stolen money from their employers in order to play the races.I ave been on the race track myself\u2014 though not much in recent vears\u2014and I know how contagious is the spirit of excitement and recklessness that there prevails, \u201cBut not only has the amount of gambling (te call it by its right name) that accompanies horse r cing increased, but there has been just as marked a decadence in the character of most of the men who own and run race horses and control race tracks.Time was when there were many men who bred and raced horses because of love of sport.They were men of respectability and public epirit and the strictest integrity.hey are pearly all either dead or retired from the turf.And the majority of the men who have taken their places are no mure fit to fill them than they are to enter tl kingdom of heaven.They are not after sport; they are after the almighty dollar, and they are not over scrupulous about how they get it.\u201cSpeaking off hand I can recall just one man who is part proprietor of a race track and an owner cf race horses who in public estimation is above saspicion\u2014 that is Mr.Withers.Ofcourse there are some few others to whom I owe apologies for not being able to remember their names.But some years ago any one could have recalled many names of men who raced horses whose names were vouchers for thorough uprightness and sportsmanship.But horse racing hes become a business in which the gambler is crowding out the gentleman.There are still some gentlemen, of course, who are interested in race tracks.William K.Vanderbilt, for irstance, 1 understand, owns the greater part of the Sheepshead Bay property.But his interest in it is entirely pecuniary.He has nothing to do with the racing that goes on tkere, \u201cWe have now racing all winter.Of race tracks there seems to be no end and new ones are continually talked about.No one will say that it is the true sportsman who is fomenting this phenomenal activity.Gamblers are doing it.\u201cIt is none of my business,\u201d continued Inspector Byrnes, \u201cto investigate how horses are raced.I have my bands full looking after criminals in this city.But I see it asserted again and again in responsible newspapers that certain horses were \u201cpulled\u201d and were run not to win but to lcse\u2014run, in other words, to cheat tbe public.The men who made these allegations are known.But they are not ruled off the tracks.And the men who are accused cf cheating do not court an investigation or demand a vindication.They simply \u2018lie low.\u201d Therefore, I am justified in concluding that there is a lot of dishonest horse racing.\u201cWhy, I heard only to-day,\u201d added the inspector, speaking with .energy, \u201cthat \u2018Ed\u2019 Heffner, better koown in the sporting fraternity as \u2018Red\u2019 Heffner, had made a statement wherein he acknowledged that when he was in partnership with the Dwyer Brce.in some of their horses he frequently ran of them, Dan K.,80 as to lose instead of win, and thereby cheated the public.\u201d \u201cWhat do you think of the Ives bill?\u2019 I agked Inspector Byrnes, \u201cIt isa bill that was entirely in the interest of the race track owners and designed to enable them to make more money.It is commonly reported that the race track owners raised a big pile of money to get the bill passed.I don\u2019t know whether they did or did not.I mention it to show what an atmosphere cf demoralization surrounds this whole business.But that bill was worth a good deal to them.It enabled them to get big fees from the bookmakers for the privilege THE MONTRFAT, HERALD FRIDAY APRIL of making books on their tracks, so that in advance of the gates being opened they could count on getting several thousand dollars from the bookmakers aloce\u2014more than would have been regarded as handsome gate receipts on the days when men raced horses for sport.I am opposed to any bill which legalizes gambling, and therefore I think that it ought to be repealed.I don't know that race track owners, taking them as they are at present, are entitled to any special privileges on personal grounds.As for the bookmakers and the poolsellers they don\u2019t claim to be ornaments of society.\u201c Because of legal technicalities and varying interpretations of the law this » department has time and again been put in a false position with respect to race track gambling.Last summer, while I was acting superintendent, the pool rooms in hew York were kept closed until the Wynn case was tried, apd the decision there seemed to give the pool sellers the right to evade the provision of the Ives bill by the pretence that they were placing bets on commission.The latest decision by Judge Barrett in the Fisher cate seems to Imply that the commission subterfuge won't do.We are not lawyers.We are guided by the latest law or Jatest interpretation of the law that wo get.Accordingly as long as the decision in the Fisher case bolds good I shall see to it that all the pool rooms in this city are shut up as tight as a drum, and have given orders to that effect.How long it will be until we get some other decision that will compel us to let the pool rooms start up again I don\u2019t know.That is none of my business.\u201d \u201cIs there any truth in the repozt that the racs tracks last year had to pay a eertain sum of money, or did pay a certain sum of money to have the pool rooms kept closed ?\u201d \u201cThere is no truth in the report that they bad to pay money t» keep the pool rooms closed.That would imply that the police were bribed to keep the pool rooms closed, which is absurd.But I did bear that a gambler last summer went to the race track owners and told them that Le would keep the pool rooms closed for a certainsum of money, which was qui e considerable, and that the money was raised by the race track owners.A man who has a large interest in race tracks told me himself that he had been taxed for a contribution to this fictitious fund, and that be bad paid the money over fo a man who has a national reputation and is worth millions of dollars.I tried to trace the checks by which this morey was paid to some individual who could be held responsible for it.I may succeed.1 have not succeeded yet.Therefcre I mention no pames.But I have no doubt that a certain gambler in New York did get $50,000 or $60,000 from certain persons connected with race tracks who claim to be gentlemen, believing that the money was to be used as a corruption fund.JfI can get the man who was bled to appear before the Grand Jury and tell to whom he paid the money, there may be some interes:= ing developments.\u201d \u201cWhat is your remedy for the demoralization you say exists ?\u201d \u201cAbolish betting altogether, wkether on the race tracks or at the pool rooms.If it stops horse racing altogether that may be a misfortune, but where twoevils are presented to choose from the rule is to cLoose the least.Horse racing as at present conducted for the most part sum- ply supplies gamblers with an easy means of making money and works a lot of mischief among the general public.For the sake of the general public and tte welfare ¢f the community I should be quite willing to sacrifice the gamblers.This Legislature ought to pass a simple, comprehersive biil forbidding gambling on horse races.\u201d The Police Board yesterday passed a resolution sustaining the action taken by Inspector Byrnes in closing all the pool rooms doing busines: in the city.I couldn\u2019t find either \u201cPhil\u201d cr \u201cMike\u201d Dwyer at their accustomed haunts last night, but I found several \u201csports\u201d who were willing to wager all they pogsessed that the Dwyers always ran all there horses dead square, and that if any horses in which they had an interest were ever run otherwise they didn\u2019t know of it.ATHLETICS.Schifferstein the California Athlete Coming East to

JUNIORS The League Meets and Transacts a Considerable Amount of Business\u2014The New Officers\u2014Mr, Grace, of Ottawa, to Represent the Capital Club at the Meeting To-Night\u2014How the Vote Will Go, The meeting of the Senior Lacrosse League will be held in the Windsor Hotel to-night, when the question will be settled as to whether the Capitals will be admitted or not.The Cornwall delegate as well as the Shamrock man will certainly vote in favor of t'e Senatora and Ottawa is doubtful while it is expected that Montreal will go with Toronto in the opposition.Mr.Grace will lay the matter before the meeting in behalf of the Capitals and may make an impres: sion.Sbould Shamrock, Ottawa and Cornwall vote in favor of the new serie, then the league will be composed of sl.clubs.The Capital's Delegates Arrive,\u2019 The admirers of the National game throughout the Dominion have been speculating since the Lacrosse Conven tion held in this city on April 10, as to the probability of the admission of th Capitals, of Ottawa, to the Senior League.Mr.John D.Grace, of United Canada, Ottawa, errived in Montreal last night to present the case of the Capitals at the Crescent meeting to be held at the Windeor Hotel this evening.Mr.Grace thinks the Capitals will have aclub;which will be a credit to Ottawa, and says that visiting clubs are always sure of a big gate as all their matches will be played on the Ottawa University grounds.He says the Capitals are sup- poried in their request for admission to the Senior League, by the Cornwallis, Shamrocks ard Ottawas and the Mont- realers who have done so mucn for the national game, Le teels sure, will support them also wben they come to understand the situation fully.The Annual Meeting of the Independent Junior League.The annual meeting of the Independent Junior Lacrosse League was held in the M.A.A.A.rooms last night, President T.Y.Foster in the chair.There were present Mr.Knox, vice-president, and Mr.Gun, secretary, and delegates from the Maples, Violets and Cote St.Antoine.Tte minutes cf the previous meeting having been confirmed, the annual report wes read and adopted.It was as follows: MoNTREAL, April 16, 1891.Mr.President and Gentlemen : In presenting to you this, the second annual report ofthe Independent Junior League, 1 do so feeling that the league bas made during the year all possible progress and has beer firmly established as a permanent thing, The carelessness with which matters concerning the league have been handled 1n former years, bas been, I am happy to say, stopped.1 refer more particularly to the protests of which he had three this year, ail of them against the Victoria\u2019s.The League was compcsed of five clubs, Cote St.Antoine, Maples, Orients, Victorias and Violets, allof which, with the exception of the Victorias, are with us still, The protests already referred to wera made by the Orients and Maples, against Mr.H.Harris, of the Victorias, on the grcunds of having played with the Red Stars, now the Athletics, against the Hawthornes on May 12,1888.This was decided against the Victorias on August 9,1890.Tie other was made by the Violets against Mr.H.Munday, and it also was decided against the Victorias, and owing to the eeverity of the case it was furtber decided to expel them from the League.The result of the year's matches was &8 follows: won lost yed 4 2 6 Maples Violets 4 2 6 Orients 4 2 6 Cote St.Antoine 0 6 6 The three clubs tieing for first placa played off as follows: Oct.11 Maples vs Orients won by Maples; Oct.18 Maples va Violets won by Maples; the Maples therefore are the champions of \"91.They chose for their trophy photographs of their team, the funds of the league $19.75 being appropriated forlthis purpose, For the vacancy in the league I have received applications from the following clubs: eavers, Victoria\u2019s, White Stars, and Gordon\u2019s, alsoan application for reinstatement in the league from Mr.Mun- day of the Victoria lacrosse club.It will be seen that upon the whola the last season has been without doubt very eucceesful and that can be attributed in & great measure to the care and pains taken by our president, who, in the delicate matters with which he had to deal, showed himself the right man in the right place.All respecttully submitted, RoBERT À.GUXN, Hon.-Sec.-Treas.The following were the officers elected for the ensuing year: President\u2014T.Y.Foster.Vice-President\u2014H.C.Knox.Secretary-Treasurer\u2014R.A.Gunn.Applications for membership were received from the White Stars, Beavers, Gordons and also from Victorias for reinstatement.After some discussion the Beavers and Victorias were admitted.The motion to reinstate H.Munday of the Victoria Club who was suspended lass season wus carried, The fees were raised from $4 to $6.The meeting then adjourned till May 1, when tbe schedule will be arranged.The League is now composed of six clubs.Will Ottawa Do It?The Free Press says: The Executive commitlee of the Ottawa Lacrosse club held a meeting Wednesday evening to discuss the arrangements for the coming season.Every member of the Board was in his place and the deliberations were conducted with closed doors.Those present who were seen were very reticent.It was learned, however.that a represenlative of the Capitals was present for a short-time in order to lay the claims of that club before the Ot tawa\u2019s with the expectation of obtaining a recommendation in favor of their being edmitted to the league series.There a»- pears to be every reason for believing that representative Kent, who goes to Montreal on Friday, will do his best for the admittance of the Capitals.ai CHESS, Chess [layer Capt, George Heury Mc- Kenzie Dead.New York, April

made that Charley Mitchell and F.P.Slavin are booked to leave England for this country.According to report they are to leave Liverpool next week.If the report is true it is easy to understand that they are intending to be present at the Jackson-Corbett battle at San Francisco.1 am fully persuaded that Slavin is anxious to fight any man in this country, and at present I am somewhat inclined to think he will defeat anybody, although I won\u2019t just now go on record as definitely stating that.Bat I will, indeed, be surprised if a man of Corbett\u2019s style and method of fighting will ever be able to keep a man liky Slavin from inflicting terrible punishment.In short, I don\u2019t think that these very long-armed men will be any more successful in stopping the onslaught of Sla- vin than men were in stopping Sullivan.The late victory of Fitzsimmons over Dempsey has entirely given a wrong, or at least an exaggerated, opinion regard- ivg tall men and their long reaches Matters between Fitzsimmons and Hall are still upsetiled and the \u201c long range\u201d :uilnerS is still going on.It they cannot coe to terns ope of them should fight Ed Smith at middleweight.Bowen and Myer have egreed to meet in the ring and if ail goes well Bowen\u2019s show for victory should be a good one.They fail from England, SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD.New Yorx, April 16.\u2014Tbe following special cable was received at The Police Gazette office yesterday from London: Frank P.Slavin, Charley Mitchell and Pony Moore left]; Euston Station this morning for Liverpool, en route to America.Slavin attracted a large crowd of sporting men and a numberof Mitchell's and Pony Moore\u2019s friends gave him a big send-off.The party will show at Liverpocl to-night, and leave on the White Star Line steamship Germanic tc-morrow.Slavin, when 1nterviewed by The Sporting Life correspondent, said on his arrival in America be would coffer £500 to any man he could not knock out in six rounds, no matter if it was John L.Suliivan, and that he would arrange a match to fight anyone according to London prize ring rules, or Queensberry rules, for £500 or £1000, The Police Gazette championship belt and the championship of the world.Mitchell stated that he was going to America on a pleasure trip; that he wight engage in a boxing contest, but it was not certain.TROTTING.The Kellogg Sale of Trotters Commenced\u2014 Some of the Prices, BY TELRGRAPH TO THE HERALD.New York, April 16.\u2014~Peter C.Kellogg & Co.\u2019s combiration sale was begun at the American Institute tc-day.The New England

The New York Sun says: Mr.W.J.Carr, of the big four at Gattenburg, has a brother named Fitzgerald.President Walbaurs, of the Hudson County Jockey Club, who is another of the big four, and has been a soit mark for Mr.Carr in pigeon matches, is also owner of a trotter yciept Roy.Mr.Walbaum, who has more money than he knows what to do with since the lambs went bleating in such flocks Guttenburgward, thought he could get back some of the coin of the realm lost while trying to knock feathers out of pigeons at thirty paces, and issued a challenge to Signor Carr for a dash of a mile for $500.Bookmaker Lackman, wbo is one of Herr Walbaum\u2019s divinl- ties, has a trotter known by the guile- ess sobriquet of Bookmaker\u2014probably named eo because of the fact that no- bedy could break him\u2014saw a chance to bag a fat plum, and asked to be let in on the ground flcor.He was accommodated, and yesterday was thi tine set for the race.Bookmaker went lame in his work and was withdrawn, butat 1 o'clock Fitzgerald was hitched to a sulky and driven by Henkle, Xignor Carr having to forego the plessurs of driving his own borse because of overweight, the sulky being built to accomodate pers:nas of 200 pounds or uader, W.toller steered Roy, who was hooked to a wagon.Now, if thers is anything Roller cau do outaide of not trainivg u race ho'sa it's driving a tro ter, for Roller was ones connecied with the trotting tarf.How bright an ornameut he was to it depo- pent saith not.Mr.Roller strack a statuesque pose us tbe pair turned to score for the word, and everybody said: \u201cGit on to the Dutchman; he\u2019s in it.\u201d Going around the turn Fitzgerald took the lead, Roy making a tangled break.Roller made frantic efforts to land the obetreperous gelding, but associations with Text and other galiopers in his owner's string bad their effect, and he though he was a runner with the bluest of blood coursipg through his veins.When he finally condescended to trot Fitzgerald was several hundred yards away.and going like clockwork.Fitz- terald won Landily, time 2:10, only a trifle over a minute behind the best ume on record.Still, that\u2019s na test ona scft loam race course.Roller lost $100 to Carle B.over Roy\u2019s defeat.din General Sporting Gossip.Ed Smith, the Denver pugilist, has posted a forfeit in Pittsburg and chal- lerged Jim Hall and Bob Fitzsimmons to fight him, under London prize ring rules, at 154 pounds, in private, for $1000 a side, or under Queensberry rales, at 158 pc uude, fer $1,000 and any satisfactory purse that may be effered.The winner to take ail moneys accruing from the fight, as Smith does not want « cent if be does not win.Badge was a little rant of a yearling and sold for $100, aud Raceland was unsound at one year of age, and changed hands for $180.They both proved first- class race horses.Raeeland has won more than $60,000 in stakes and purses, and was sold for $17,000.King Crab, another of August Belmcent's cast offs, has won $60,000.The betting in Frisco on the Jackson end Corbett fight is 2 to 1 on the colored man.) Johnny Van Heest knocked out George Warner ia one round at Minne.- 1-clis the other night.Peter Jackson\u2019s irjuries are not so serious as first reporte-t.He wiil resume training in a few days.It is probable that the date of his meeting with Cor- bett will be changed to a week later.Ed.Corrigan has this season bred 10 mares to Longfellow in the hope that some one cf that number will throw a second Freeland or Riley.On April 28 the members of the California Club will vote whether or not to give a $5000 purse for Dixon and Willis.Jimmy Carroll, the lightweight, has gent word to the Olympic

Touch Wires, Although many opticians arein the habit of recommending various descriptions of glass for spectacles, there are in reality only two kinds\u2014native glass or rock or mountain crystal, usually called pebble, and artificial glass.Tiey also advise users of spectaclos to have thein of pebbles, as more beneflcial to the eyeright, artificial glass being decried as heating and wearyinz the eye.The writer who has now been habitually using spectacles for 25 years on accouat of short-sighted.ness, bas had no such experience.Acting upon the advice of a first-rate oculist, whom he consulted, he purchased pebble spectacles, and he used them for years.Lately, however, requiring a pair of spectacles of a particular focus, he has.taken to spectacles of \u2018artificial glass, and he finds that there is not thie slightest difference, with the exception that the latter are only about half the prica of pebble spectacles.This is a consideration in case of persons of limited means.The perfection to which glass making har now attained has rendered the use of artificial glass for spectacles practicable, and, seeing the advantages attached to its employe ment, which it is the object of this short paper to point out, it is probable that it wilt ultimately entirely supersede frock crystal.Sir Henry Layard found among the ruins of old Nineveh a polished pebble lens of a convex form of a focus of four inches and a diameter of one and a half inches.It may also be assumed that the magnifying power of such lense was well known to and utilized by the old cameo cutters in their difficult and delicate work.The price lists of opticians of former centuries contain the prices of pebble eyc-glasses, and they are known to have endeavored to improve the microscope by the use of crystals of precious stone.Besides rock crystal, they made microscopsic lenses of sapphire, ruby, garnet, beryl, topaz, and even of diamond.Diamond lenses for microscopes were warine ly recommended by Sir David Brewster (1819), and made chiefly by Pritchard (1824), All these early efforts, after the marvels ous development of the manufacture of glass now belong to Lkistory.The greatest objection to the application of precious stones to optical purposes is their structure\u2014the fact that, as crystals having two axles, they \u2014 suffer double refraction, and it is this draw- .- back which has to be taken into consideration \u201cwhen dealing with rock crystal.This double refraction must greatly affect its optical application, and it can only be rectified to some extent by cutting the pebbles out of the raw material at right angles to the principal crystallographic axis.Opera glasses with eye lenses of rock-cry- stal have for some time past been made in Paris for which great distinction of image is claimed.Closer examination, however, has proved that such eye lenses are not only not better in that respect than those of ordinary glass, but mostly much worse, especially if they have not received the proper setting to the crystal axis.And if in opera glass lenses the condition of cutting them out of the rock crystal at right angles is neglected, this is much mcre so the case with pebbles for spectacles.\u2014Chambers\u2019 Journal.How to See Your Brain.Dr.Fraser Halle holds that it is quite possible for a man to see his own brain.Fifty years have elapsed since Purkinge observed that by passing a candle to and fro several times by the side of the eye the air in front was transformed into a kind of screen, on which was reflected what was then supposed to be \u2018\u2018a magnified image of part of the retina.\u201d Recently Dr.Halle resumed the cxplor- ation, and he has succeeded in identifying the picture with the representation of the *\u2018anterior lobe of the cerebrum.\u201d The picture consists, he reports, of \u201cred conyyolutions with dark interspaces,\u201d among which a whitish admixture is sometimes visie ble.These, he says, constitute exactly the image of folds of the anterior lobe of the brain with the furrows between them, The candle should be moved to and fro about four inches below the eye, and three and a quarter inches from the face.When the movement ®eases the undulations of course also cease and the image disappears, A reddish mist appears first, and the image is soon developed and defined.Night is the best time for it, but it can be seen in à dark place\u2014faintly\u2014in the daytime.Pulling Teeth by Electricity.An electric tooth-puller is being experimented with in England, and is creating an immense commotion in the world of dentistry.By means of this new device the stubbornest and most sensitive teeth are extracted in a twinkling, and with absolutely no pain to the patient.The victim grasps the handle attached to one wire leading from the battery, and a pair of forceps is attached to the other wire, When the forceps touch the tooth a circuitisformed, The jaw being much more sensitive toa shock than the band, the gums are so numbed by the electricity that the tooth can be pulled without the patient suffering a particle.In order that no person receives a shock too great for his system he tests the current himself before the forceps are applied to his molars.Experiments made in the Philadelphia College of Dentistry prove beyond doubt that with the aid of an electric current even nerves can be removed from decaying teeth without causing pain.The method, as explained, is simple.Utilizing Waste Smoke and Gases.A company in Scotland pays a yearly rental to a number of iron works for the right to collect the smoke and gases which escape from the blast furnaces.These gases passthrough several miles of iron pipe,gradually diminishing in size from six feet to eighteen inches, and, as the gases cool, there is found to be a considerable deposit of oil, While the residual gases are used for distil ling and other purposes, besides yielding a large percentage of ammonia.Ât one of these plants in Glasgow, which is the smallest of the works in operation, about 60,000,000 feet of gas is pumped and collected a day, and the company recovers on an average of 25,000 gallons of oil a week.A few coke ovens are also supplied with the condensing apparatus.The oils obtain are used for the Lucigen and other simil lights and for pickling timber.Don\u2019t Touch Wires, It is always best to avoid danger, if pos sible; therefore, there is one rule which ought to be taught in every school in the country, and that is\u2014never lift a wire off the ground.À telegraph wire is perfectly harmless, but an electric wire is always deadly.When you see a wire hanging from a pole or a house, or in any position, it may not be dangerous, but it may kill you.i .The Household Prize,

better commercial arrangement: with our neighbors.We do not clearly uuder- stand how any sensible man should for a moment supposs that a nation of 5,000,- 000 people could coerce a nation of 6J,- 000,000 people into freer trade relations by means of tariff retaliation.* The fact is,\u201d he says,\u201d in our days of steam and electricity a pol ¢y of is la- tion and restrictions on trade is out of date.It is simply putting drags on the wheels when we are trying our best to annihilate time and space.To tax a whole population for tbe benefit of a few pet manufacturers is to creats such an amount of discomfort and diesatisfaciion as to make people wish for a change, and so long as our population is so small independence is out of the question, therefore annexation wou.d be the only alternative: He does not believe that free trade with the States would lead to political union; on the contrary he thinks it would put it out of the field of practical politics.Mr.St.George considers Sir Jobn is placed in a rather awkwarl position between the protected combines who helped him to ra gain power, and the psople who desire better trade relations with our neighbors.He says: \u201cIf he sends a deputation to Washington to secare better terms, a sort of raciprocity, and they come back saying that the States will not have if, nobody will believe that he was in earnest about it, and there will be & storm of indignation, Many Conservative members were elected on the distinct understanding that they would advocate reciprocity.If they are true to their pledges there may be a storm in the House as well as outside.\u201d The storm is pretty certain to come, no matter what Sir John does; and it need not be surprisicg if ho has already decided to let the manufacturers\u2019 storm and adopt the Liberal policy of upres:ricted reciprocity.Tae trouble between Italy and the United States over the New Orleans lynching tragedy, has drawn from The New York Times the excellent sugges- putting offences against treaties with any foreign power under the direct jurisdiction of the federal courts.\u2014_\u2014c\u2014\u2014\u2014 A rEw days ago, in the course of a speech, Marquis Di Rudini, Premler of Italy, remarked that the renewal of the triple alliance was of secondary importance to Italy compared with a st2ady agreement with England.This is interpreted in many quarters as meaning that Germany and Austria can no longer count upon the unwavering support of Italy.Is the triple alliance breaking up?lf WHAT CONSTITUTES TRUE SUCCESS.$ VICTORIA, B.C.TIMES: There is no dissent from the numerous writers on the subject, that the tendency of young men to rush into the professions instead of into the mechanical trades, is unwise and must in the end work almost irreparable injury.The professions are actually crowded, jammed, while it is a fact, that in the mechanical trades there is a fair demand for skilful help.No good mechanic is idle, whereas, of the multitude of lawyers, doctors, dentists, bookkeepers, etc.which are yearly being turned out, it is to ba presumed that a large percentage depend for a living on the bounty of their friends Of course young men are not to be blamed for seeking to enter the so-called high pro- feesions, and particularly when it is borne in mind that society concedes to the exemplar of à profession a higher social status than it does to the artisan, But why should this be 80?Are the possibilities of the profession of medicine greater than the possibilities of the profession of the machinist?Is there noca possible Errickson in every machinist, and is there not a possible Christopher Wren in every carpenter?Young men, however, fail to look at it that way.The \u2018*\u2018boiied shirt\u2019 of professional life is patrician, the oily shirt of mechanics is plebelan, and so the professions are filled with less than mediocity while the mechanics are begging for brains.THERE js an ccean of truth in the above which requires to be iterated and reiterated until young men of all classes and their ambitious sires come to understand its force.It has been sald, and doubtless it is true, that in all the professions there is room at the top of the ladder, but how few get there.Men of pluck, perseverance and determination, who kesp that goal steadily ahead of them, reach the top of the ladder, or at least reach a point high above the mediocres; but the great majority of professional men nowadays, either through lack of ambition, orjwant of ability, or indifference ta real success, are content with positions away down the ladder among the mediocres.Just there the professions are overcrowded to suffocation by men who would make excellent and suc- cetsful mechanics and farmers, but who as doctors, lawyers, &c., are conspicuous failures.Their failure is pot always due to want of ability or lack of perseverance.Very ofien it is due to the fact that instead of seeking eminence in their chosen profession they bend all their energies to the acquisition of money, and that very often is the only eminence they achiere.It is very important to secure wealth, provided the possessor knows enough to use it wisely and well; but after all, in the profas- ions whose practice requires the endowments of learning, skill and character, eminence, an honored name, the power to bestow benefits upon mankind, are quite as important as the acquisition of wealth.These are the men who get to ard usually bss to bs content with & n ediocre or inferior position among his brother professional men.Mercantile life, too, is overcrowded with men who have little or no aptitude and \u2018frequently very little training for businees, They would make excellent and successful farmers or mechanics.They would achieve real eminencs as men who contribute their quota t> making the wildercess bud and blossom as the rose\u2014making two blades of grass grow where only one grew before; or ia pointing with pride to their handi work\u2014 whether it be a stately ship, a wel~built bouse, à handsoma carriage, a fine pair of boots, or a neat fitting garment\u2014that is my work.That, however\u2014as our British Columbia contemporary puts it \u2014 is entirely too plebeian for many young men; thoy have higher ambitions than that and if they do not essay some professional calling they rush into mercantile life, serve as clerks for a few years in a store and then branch out for themselves with little or no capital, with limited experienee, get slong swimmingly fora few years and then down they go, perhaps dragging trusting friends with them.The highways of mercantile life ere strzewed with thousands of such wrecks, while legitimate business is paralyzad by tbe sales of bankrupt goods thrown on the market by su:h failuree.How much bet'er it would bare been for these men x have achieved even moderate success as farmers or mechanics, instead of turzing out corspicuous failures in mercantile life.It cannot ke too strongly or too frequently impressed upon young men that professional and mer cantile life is overcrowded; that the mere acquisition of wealth does not constitute the highest measure of success; that the successful farmer or skilful mechanic who achieves bonor- able prominence in his chosen calling, is as good a man, as deserving of respect, as useful to the country, ag the successful lawyer, doctor, engineer, merchant or volitician.Indeed, if we bad more successful farmers and mechanies in the real sense of the term, and fewer successful professional men as the term is generally understood, Canada would be the gainer immensely.The commonplace moral of all this which we would like to impress upon the young men of the country is, \u201cBoys don\u2019t leave tue farm.\u201d .Way should not the people of Canada have cheaper sugar ?Excellent graau- tion that Congress should enact alaw F y per sk 2 lated is selling in New York at $4.50 per hundred pounds.The Canadian duty would be $3.30, bringing the cost up to $7.80, and freight would be about 25 cents additional.Just at present gthe Canadian duty is prohibitive, but consumers pay it nevertheless int the \u2018pockets of refiners.The repeal of the duty on raw and redaction of the duty on refined would give the people cheaper sugar.Why should they not have it?flee THERE i8 & report from Sault Sta, Marie that some scullduggery ig on foot in con.pection with the canal which is being constructed on the Canadian side.The resident engineer, it is reported, is mot dispcsed to be pliable, and the contractors are credited with a desire to have him ignored or squeezed out.Then there will be extras.Oy THE AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH.In referring yesterday to the Australian Commonwealth we sald it would practically be no more republican than Canada now is.This is correct on general principles.There are, however, wo points in which the proposed Australian constitution differs from that of Canada, and therefore approaches more nearly the American system.The Australian Senators ara tobe elected by the Local Legislatures and each Province will have an equal number, This is precisely the American system, whereas in Canala the Senators are appointed by the Crown.In Australia the Lieutenant Governors of the Provinces are to be elected by the local Legislatures, This practically amounts to an election by the people and it is not unlikely will prove preferable to the American plan.In regard to the tariff, each colony is to retain its own tanff until a tariff is adopted by the Federal Parllament; bat the high-tariff Provinces ask that no radical.changes shall be made suddenly, and that, in makicg the tariff uniform, any reductions be made by percentages covering a certain number of years.This will also probably prove a wise move, as some of the Provinces have a protective tarif and others a tariff for revenue only, In this way the Australian commonwealth will get a good start in the direction of free trade without encountering those serious financial and commercial disturbances which follow sudden and extrema\u2019 changes of tariff, \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A corroN manufacturer's agent, writing to an Eastern Townships pap r, complains that a great deal of cotton is smuggled into Quebec across the Vermont frontier.Perhaps sugar should be included in the list.The Toronto Globe pertinently remarks that the smuggling operations complained of mean that cottcn may now be added to the list of the necessaries of life which are cheapar across the border than here\u2014a list which includes also such staples as sugar, iron and coal oil.A bushel of barley will now bay about twice as much gragulated sugar in Buffalo as it will bay in Toronts.The consumers of Canada are not going to stand this eorf of thing very much longer.The national policy has won its laat victory.In the meantime revenue office1s are going t) have a livelier tims looking after smuggling operations than they ever had in their lives before.1 who had rejected his hand in marriage in early life.She probably got

Government intend shortly to appoint three veterinary surgeons to inspect all stock entering Canada at Windsor, Ontario.As none of the cattle 80 entered stays in Canada, it looks a good deal like furnishing a little fat billet for some Government supporters.; + A contemporary thinks that the price of mutton could be reduced if we had reciprocity.with the States.I don\u2019t see why, but even were it 80, would the man who likes his matutinal chop ba any the less pleased about it?+, The ink was scarcely dry on the paragraph I wrote the other dav about Mark Twain than along came the New York World with a pen portrait of him, in which he is represented as being the laziest looking mort:l in existence, but still more keenly alive and tnoroughly observant than nine-tenths of the peopla around bim.I suppose thera are such folks in the world but thay are very apt to Le misunderstood.wx A despatch fiom Berlin says that the Bonn University has decided to discon tinue the use of Koch\u2019s lymph.The wonder is that it ever began.* % * I said from the start that the lymph was a \u201cfake.\u201d I say so still, and it will not be long before all scientific men will come around to my way of thinking.Probably a great many of them think so now, but haven't got enough nerve to say so.* x \u201cLatent Force\u201d is the subject of a magazine article by Keely, the man whose motor does not mote, 80 to speak.People who have taken stock in the machine may be inclined to believe that tke force is altogether too latent.* * * The Hamilton Spectator calls me to account for a trifling verbal inaccuracy in 8 poetical quotation the other dav, and says moreover that a line written by Pope was credited to Byron.I do not see that any great harm was done, but if either Mr.Byron or Mr.Pope want to make 1t à personal matter, and feel that they have a grievance, I'll try to arrange the matter to their satisfaction, + A Western musaum recently offered $500 to the man who could stay awake for a week and is being jouraalistically \u201croasted.\u201d I don\u2019tsee that it is much of a feat.Icouid do it, abstain from foo d during the whole period, and work 18 hours out of the 24 in every day.You don\u2019t believe me?Well, make an offer of $500 and see how quick I will grab at it.xx Messr 8.George Millerand E, A.Hut- chison have stepped in to fill the vacancy caused by the defsction of the Conservative Journal in 8t.Catherine's No doubt they will succeed.Both are experienced newspaper men, and nobody can give either one of them pointers in the buginess without stay ing awake at night to think them up.* + * Dan Rice, the veteran clown, is announced as going on the road again this season.1 suppose it can be truthfully said of him that-he is * still in the ring.\u201d * % * On his arrival at Liverpool Sir Charles Tupper refused to be interviewed as to his mission to Washington.I don\u2019t blame him.There was mighty listla to be said.++ It is astonishing how many people there are who can afford {0 pay for theatre tickets once or twice a week and then want to deadhead on some church on Sundsy.\u2014Boston Bulletin, Perhaps it works the other way as well.There

tonight to denounce the recent Dixon-Mc- Carthy fight in this city was attended by 1500 representative citizens, among whom were Justice Ingalls, late on the Supreme Court bench, aud a large number of clargymen, both Protestant and \u2018Catholic.The Rev.John Walsh, pastor of the St.Peter\u2019s Church, presented a series of resolutions condemning the fight and the investigators of it, and calling upon all good citizens to see that no occurrence of tke kind shall ever again take place in Troy.Father Walsh spoke at length upon the resolutions and was followed by Justice Ingal's, who gave the legal status of the case.Other speakers were heard and the resolutions, which call for à committee io carry out the work of reform a8 expressed by the meetings wera adopted.I4 wasexpacted that John

line to connect with the sub-marine wires.The cable business of this company \u2018was formerly handled by the Great North Westerr, which transmitted the messages to Sydney, Cape Breton, thence to Newfoundland and across the ocean from there.In fature the messages will be sent direct over the same lines, all of Which are on Canadian territory.Similar offices have been opened in New York and the

business handled will be exclusively cable, no land messages being received.Instead of as formerly when both classes of despatches were handled together, separate forms and books will be provided and it will te possible to obtain an answer from London inside of three minutes.A representative of the company ig now in Montreal superintending the arrangements.Merchants, brokers and the public generally will hail the advent of the new comer as a welcome addition ko their facilities for doing business.Now Free From Pain.Drar Sir5\u2014I have been troubled with Lame Back for about six months,
