it will mer:ly tend to reduce the price on coal to tne consumer, .The generality of the merchants be- Heve that the arrangement would work out with almost absolute equality to that Senator Caavaatitor.and \\meritem mihers.Mbre American soft coal would naturally find its way into Ontario than at present, but the Canawan miners in Nova\u2019 Scotia and British Columbia .would, on the other hand, do a largely.increased business in those portions of the Union adjacent to their mines.The duty on bituminous (soft) coal is at present 53 cents per ton;

Lebeuf has shown no disposition to shirk: the personal issue.but has indicated his wish to make a statement to Council.In addition to this interesting by-play.matters have from time to time been brought up in the Police Committee the tendency of.which was to discredit the administration of the new.Chief of: Police.- It can be understood that aldermen wiil be naturally reluctant to set Up à proceeding of impeachment \u2018against Ald.Lebeuf, for that is what it would mean if the insinuations uttered by Mr.Poirier were to be made the, ground of action.Still, such a course has been followed before, for in the old - days the feelings of Ald.Marsolais, Ald.-Prénoveau, Ald.Kinsella and others were not allowed to prevent most rigid enguiry being made into matters\u2019 affecting.the admimsiration of their departments.They fought as.hard, some of them, as Ald.Lebeuf would \u2018be Nhkely to.If.an alderman has done anything wrong, and the.proof -of it is | available, the.place to confront him: With his w rongdoing is in thé body of| which he is a member.and It is that body which is under obligation to pray, test against nis misconduct.Similarly, while the police force is evidently not} yet perfect; it is plain that there is a great improvement.So much having been done by constant préssure from.the City Council, it is fair to assume tnat mor?2 can be done, and.while there is something not altogether reassuring about the fact that a motion to dismiss the head Jf the \u2018police force was made in committee the other day, it is perhaps \u2018just \u2018as.well .all such.officials should expect such a motion to be made after several instances of lack of system, or worse, have \u2018been brought to \"hight.It is no doubt a good deal of a nuisance to have to be bothered with such things, but if the services are to be set right and kept right in a democratic community, there has as yet been found no better way to do it than to have the public kept\u2019 constantly.ine.formed of what passes, to.encourage vigilance on the part of the people's representatives, and to hold up to re-.probation those who venture to leave the straight pathe.It remains to be seen.what view A.Laporte, usually so conservative takes of the situation \u201cthat induces him to favor application to ihe Lisutenant-Governor-in- \u201council.\u2019 THE ANTI- LAUREATE.Mr.Kipling not being the- official poet- laureate, vha is paid hy the Gove n- ment.ts sax the right thing at the right time as best he.Ktows how.finds himself free 10 condemn an undiserimmat- ing Governmnt every now and again.His War Office effusion was a terrible blew, and almost before the T.cor fellows have recovere.1 from that.he\u2019 is dowi upon them w ith another foo this atest German alliance.Kipling pis the Gow- ernment at a disadvantag-g 00, for he can always choose his ew tack them.The papers ®: about a!

three signals representing a single letter of the alphabet.Even that was \u2018faint, and in some respects unsatisfac- tory.The world had to depend upon the Inventor's word for it.But now actual messages have been sent and received, the period of doubt is past, and the period of adaptation to business needs Is entered upon.Thus another long advance has.been made in the establishment of man's mastery over the forces of nature.\u2019 There may be good reason for not grasping too rapidly.at the new me-\u2019 -thod, for not abandoning the old and tried cable service, but undoubtedly in due time it will become possible to dis- | pense w ith the -costly plant of the.latter, and \u2018to \u2018enormously reduce the cost of sending messages across the Atlun- tic, and indeed around the globe.Mar- conl's success demonstrates that the limit \u2018has not yet been'reached in the way of detecting such shocks as may be Vransmitted ©.various natural \u2018mediums.Scarcely less remurkable | than Maréonl's \u2018invention is that of Prof.Milné, which - receivés through the\" \u2018crust of the earth notice of earth- Quake shocks that take place in any part -of it.Supposing it were possible lo increase the sensitiveness of the Milne machine in the game degree\u2019 thut \u2018Marcon{\u2019s.invéntion increases.the: sensitiveness, and therefore the.efficiency, of the ordinary.telegraph, ft might some day be possible to get direct communie ation with the Antipodes by merely matilpuläting a lever at this side.of the globe.It would be somewhat inconvenient, no doubt, to arrange for un earthquake every time a message had to be sent.but increased ing instrument might make it possible to get along with a very - slight jar to the crust of the earth, at the\u2019 sending station.However, Marconi's \u2018triumph + \u201cis enou: H for one day.*- .SU GGESTIONS .FOR GIV ERS | It is with great \u2018satisfaction that the : | following Jfst of Christmas gifts.is re | commended © the attention of Santa : Cizus.\u201cAI who heliève in this \u2018generous giver will heartijy approve: Mayor Cochrane\u2014Lots of.coal, no critics.©.Alderman Lappinte- -Framed pic ture of Chateau de R: amezay.(Three-volors).\"Alderman Walsh\u2014A plece of coal (in \u2018a sock) from Chief Legault.Alt.J.Alf.Labelle\u2014A number of votes: lost somewhere in the suburbs of Mat - sonneuve.The Westmount Golf Club\u2014Tuirty \u2018mile Jink& \u2014b?gger than Toronto\u2019s.Mayor Jdighthall\u2014A chance at the anoymous critic of the town Tepresentäs tives.\u2018and Alderman\u2019 Vallieres\u2014A Arcam of | Montreal with real sidewalks.: .Hackmen\u2019's Assoclation\u2014Pure white snow, with compliments of the\u2019 Street.Railway Company.Mr.J.Pierpont Morgan\u2014 of the pe:inut men, .President Castro\u2014A rew.xet of we A co bine matums.\u2014 without gunboats;
