e SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1906.The presentation of Imperial A to long service post-office employees ®in this city the other day brings into prominence a principle of the utmost value to people in all walls of life.To be decorated is a desire cherished by most men, as witness the stars, crosses and insignia with which the members of the various fraf#tnal ordérs \u2018and knighthoods bedeck themselves, which are only in imitation of those with which the mighties of the earth are decorated by its princes.These jewels represent something the wearers are proud of or they would not wear them.Decorations for long and faithful] service are more of an honor than many of those which sound larger and which are often more, due to adventitious conditions than to personal worth.There is no work, be it ever so humble, but is ennobled by the conscientious doing of it, when he who works is a free man.This is the lesson conveyed in the bestowal of these 1m- perial medals.ee reer = The arrest of a Brooklyn jeweller charged with coining counterfeit silver dollars, calls atteniion to a peculiar phase of the silver \u2018juestion.It is well known that counterfeit cginers can make as pure silver dollars, fifty and twenty- five cent pieces as are turned out by the mint, and make a hundred percent profit.Government detectives have a lively time hunting down the artists.Silver is so cheap that its double value as currency is a temptation, and the only spparent way in which governments could remove this obvious temptation to easy counterfeiting would be to issue coin of an intrinsic value approaching to their nominal value.That would, however, make our silver coinage twice as big, and, by so much, less commodious.Mexico, which till lately was upon a silver standard, and whose dollar was worth half a dollar in gold, has, 1n adopting the gold standard, done so on a basis of approximate parity, ag merchants doing business with that republic and with Oriental silver currency countries have long becn in the habit of doing.In the United States, Canada, and other countries, the fact that the silver is practically redeemabfe an gold makes it pass for the value printed on it, though it is only worth half as much, Ÿ For vears Russian Liberals have been zlamoring for the establishment of a system of popular compulsory education.This is one of the reforms sanctioned by the Czar.But the official idea of compulsory education, as disclosed in an order issued by the Governor of Odessa, instead of gratifying has struck terror into the hearts of the people, as well it right, A translation of this order appears in the current number of \u201che \u2018Anglo- Russian.It is dated January 17, and commands all schools, public and private, which bave been closed since the riots \u2018 adr in October last, te Le opened on the twenty-fifth of January.Sbould this not be done, or the pupils in any way show themselves disobedient to the severe rules laid down, appearing without uniform, or going on strike, then not only the pupils but also their whole families will be exiled, because, as the order reads: \u2018undoubtedly such conduct is ihe \u2018 result of the influence of the family cir- \u2018cle\u2019 The Rugian words translated \u2018whole families,\u2019 include fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts and babies.This assertion that the imitative pranks of children are necessarily inspired at home is nonsense.A schoolful of children will plunge together into imitating almost anything that they hear about.When there is a war between, say, Turkey and Russia, the children in the schools at the ends of the earth will fight out daily battles as Turks and Russians.When strikes are general school children will think it incumbent upon them to strike.The law by which the \u2018inflexible\u2019 will of the Czar is officially interpreted is therefore preposterously cruel.The \u2018Anglo-Russian\u2019 thinks, however, that {he very severity and excessive punishment decreed by this order will defeat its purpose.There are sure, it says, to be mapy violations of it, and, to carry out the penalty would mean an exodus into exile of many thousands of the inhabitants of Odessa.A very interesting question is expected to come before the New Brunswick Legislature for decision during the session now in progress.Since the meeting of the Legislature last year, several serious disputes have taken place relating to international treaty rights oni the upper St.John, disputes as to the rights of companies to erect , dams, booms and other works which might be construed as obstructions to navigation, and to the operations of lumber drivers.Many Canadian authorities hold that under the Ashburton treaty the St.John river, where it found the international boundary, must be kept free and clear of obstruction, and the action of the New Brunswick Legislature wil now he awaited with anxiety, since property and lumber rights valued at many millions of dollars are involved.The controversy between the clashing interests has been bitter, and has gone so far in Maine that the Maine Legislature has asked Congress to repeal the Pike law, which was passed at Washington in 1866.The Pike law allows Jumber cut in Canada from United States logs to be admitted to the United.States free of duty, and the concession was made because at that time the only outlet from the extreme northeastern lumber district was by way of the St.John river.United States lumbermen now maintain large mills in St.John, and it is calculated that about a hundred million feet of logs are annually brought down the river from Maine, sawn in New Brunswick, and sent across to the United States.A new outlet for the lumber was made when the Bangor and Aroos- took railway was constructed, and, says the Boston \u2018Transcript,\u2019 certain Maine interests now maintain that the Pike law is no longer a necessity.The repeal of the law would seriously affect thousands of workmen employed in the St.John and Fredericton mills, so that great anxiety is naturally felt both in New Brunswick and Maine.It will be a pity if some better way out of the difficulty cannot be found than cutting each other's throats.me OLD AGE AND ACCIDENT.The principle of old age pensions finds approval in high quarters in the present British Government.There are those who want these cld-age pensions to come, like everything else, out of the imperial exchequer\u2014apparently thinking that by that process it will come down from the sky.The more practical see that if men are to have pensions in old age they must earn the moncy in the days of their strength.Taking the people as a whole there is of course no other way.Wealth is not created out of nothing.The proposal ie therefore a very practical one, that a system of old-age benzfit should be institu:ed by government which may be compuleory on all, or on certain classes, or may be made voluntary, ami that afler a certain age those who have contributed shall be able, on certain conditions, to make demand upon tbe fund.It would Le wise, we think, to make the age of making demand voluntary, and to give the beneficiary the advantage of all the years ht works after sixty or sixty- five, as the onse may be.To force people to stop work at sixty would be as nearly as possible cerrying out in earnest what Dr.Osler proposed as a joke.For to throw a man nut of his calling would be practically to asphyxiate him.He would have no use for life after that, and would soon die.If the old men were not forbidden to work the receipt of a pension would only have #he effect of enabling them to work for less money than they could without the pension, and would make them still more of a drag on the libor market.There would be one element, of unfairness in the compulsory pension system.It would be a sort of prize for the robust and leng-lived, at the erpense of the weak and sickly.-There are many men who do not live to sixty, and these are the least able to contribute to an old-age pension fund.Something would need to be done to combine the old-age benefit with a sick benefit.Of course there would be those who will say.that the working man should not pay the premivms on the pension at all.Others will say he should only pay half of them.This, however, would make no difference.Labor conditions right themselves in spite of all- artificial interference.In the long run, men get just what their labor is worth, and, if there was a burden placed upon that value, it would come-out of that value in some way.We should soon be Lack upon the fixed principle that labor would pay what was paid to labor.That account, taken as a whole, will always balance.A cognate subject is the compulsory accident insurance for which legislation is now being introduced at Quebec, laying the most onerous burdens on certain forms of enterprise, somewhat arbitrarily chosen.It is held that any harm that happens to an employee, where steam or electricity is used\u2014though the dangers from horse power are proportionately far greater\u2014the employer shall make good to an extent that might easily break his fortune.It would add enormously to the vicissitudes of business, and would make many businesses mere lotteries, should this pripciple prevail without a concurrent system of insurance.There would be needed a wealthy insurance company or benefit society, or the government would have to provide a system of insurañce in which every employer could insure his men against accident.to the heavy extent demanded by this bill.Not to have such insurance would be equivalent to not insuring against fire; but it would cost much more.This, no doubt, looks to the promoters of the bill like gaining so much for the worker.1t might do so at first, but its inevitable working would in time be that labor, with that burden on it, would be worth just that much less in the market.Those establishments that could not face the tax would go under.Men would be \u2018out of work and things would-be readjusted, so that labor would pay for*whap labor got.If labor wants té secure ihe bêne- fits of capital its only way.to acquire capital, and that is, fortunately;in these days, and in this country, within she reach of most handicmftamen.A = A SOUDAN OUTLET.The recent opening of a railway between Port Soudan, on the Red Sea, and the junction of the Rivers Nile and At- bara marks at once the completion of a splendid engineering feat and the establishment of a civilizing influence of the very first order in this out of the way country.The Milway was begun some twenty-nine years ago in the days of Ismail Pasha and about the time when Great Britain came to recognize the strategic value of the Suez Canal, when ALfty miles had been constructed at the cost of half a million sterling the work was discontinued on account of the bankrupt condition of the Egyptian: treasury and the unsettled state of the country.From that time until the rout of the Khalifa and his forces, the commercial and industrial development of Egypt was almost at a standstill.Lord Kitchener's campaign the possibility of completing this railway from Sua- kim to Berber, on the Nile, by which troops for Khartoum would save a thousand miles of land and river travel® was a question of prime importance and the ground was anxiously surveyed at that time.But though it was never positively given up, there were engineers familiar with the route who regarded it as impossible, through the almost complete absence of water in the interior.Lord Cromer, however, whose confidence in Egypt's possibilities is enormous, never Jost sight of the importance of the enterprise, and to him has just fallen .the pleasant duty of declaring the line open as a public highway.The road as built from Port Soudan to Atbara Junction is over three hundred miles long and traverses \u2018a waste and howling wilderness,\u2019 broken by hills rising here and there to the altitude of {three thousand feet, and by wadys, or large hollows, in the desert.This ditti- cult country was surveyed and the railway completed in fourteen months.The necessary water was laboriously carried inland\u2019 from the sea and distilled.The greater part of the matemal had to be imported from Great Britain and other countries difficult of access.The climate was excecdingly severe on Turopcans.The superlative suramer heat tried the endurance of the officials to the utmost, autumn and winter rains again and again destroyed br:dges and roadbed, but all these difficulties and many more were conquered by the stub- horn refusal to yield to éircumstances, which seems to characterize men of British blood.and which is the great wonder and astonishment of the fatalistic east- than twenty-five percent At the time of| Ÿ ern mind.This railway will give ready access to the interior of a country which from time immemorial has been cut off from the rest of the world by leagues of \u2018burning desert and by bands of robber Bedouins.In conformity with the lib- cral policy which has been follcwed in all Great Britain's dealings with Egypt both port and railway will be open on equal terms to the trade of all the world.There will be no differential rates or duties to favor the trade of ohe nation more than any other.Lord Oromer, in declaring the railway open, regretted that in addition to the blessings of civilization which would certainly come to the country, the railway would possibly also bring the drink-seller, the usurer and the commercial adventurer.He thought, however, that methods could be adopted which would in a great measure nullify their power for evil.The Sougan, which from the days of the Pharaohs until our own, was a chronic sufferer either from official oppression or barbarian rapine, from ignorance, famine and pestilence, is rapidly being brought into line with the improved condition of its neighbor, Egypt.Schools and law courts have been established, a successful fiscal system inaugurated, and the newly constructed railway is intended gs the first step in the gradual execution of a large and comprehensive scheme of publié improvement.Keep yo the law\u2014be awit in all obediencs, Ciear the land of evil, drive the read and bridge the ford\u2014 Mais ye eure to each bis own\u2014 That he

This is Kipling\u2019s version of the charter of the British peoples, surely a nobler one than the truculent jingo philosophy so popular a few yeara ago.This spirit\u2014 instanced alike in such men as Lord Cro- mer and in the unknown engineers who constructed the Berber Railway\u2014is our greatest imperial asset.It is certainly more valuable\u2014even from the view point of practical statesmanship\u2014than volume of trade or strength of army or navy.Tn its culfivation the newly-formed British government will find important employment, and in its development subjects of the empire everywhere will discover a fine task for their patriotism, \u2014_\u2014 BOARD OF TRADE MEMBERSHIP.As long ago as 1887, the membership of the Board of Trade was thirteen hundred and sixty-two.The membership had been very largely ificreased from the previous year, as it wae arranged to im- Dose an entrance fee during 1887, and these who joined early escaped the fee.For 1905, the membership only amounted to nine hundred and seven- tyeix.That is a falling off of three hundred and eighty-six, er more in eighteen years, during ten of which the country and the city have greatly increased in prosperity.In 1901 the membership had fallen off to eight hundred and fifty-six, which was the low-water mark, and strenuous efforts were then made by the \u2018council and the secretatry\u2019s staff to add to the membership roll.Those efforts were so far successful that the membership rose for 1902 to a thousand and twenty-seven, the premium being held out of escaping heavier burdens that would come into effect later.The membership declined to a thousand and twelve for 1903, to nine hundred and eighty-eight for 1904, and to nine hun- red and seventy-six, as already said, for last year.What is the reason for such marked declines in the membership of such an indispensable institution in our city as the Board of Trade; and that during a period when our mer chants and manufacturers have so greatly increased and prospered.It will probably be found to be largely owing to the entrance fee of a hundred dollars.Many of the members of the Board of Trade have no occasion to visit the Exchange floor, and the benefit of membership does not seem to them to be very direct.Still they continue to pay their annual subscription because of their sense that a Board of Trade is necessaty in a city such as Montreal, and that it is their duty to support it.There are doubtless many other merchants in the city who cannot see that membership would benefit them directly, but who would be willing in like manner to pay an annual subscription of ten dol lars on general principles.As.however, they would scarcely ever go on \u2019Change, or use the trade information provided by the Board, they are disinclined to pay a large entrance fee.Recognizing this, apparently, and to induce an increase of membership, the council has ordered that all lapsed certificates now in the possession of the Board shall be re-issued at thirty-five dollars, so that with a transfer fee of five dollars, and ten dollars for the current vear's membership dues, the total cost to a new member will be only fifteen dollars for member will be only fifty dollars for the first year and ten dollars a year thereafter.This, it is hoped, will enable the pres ent council to realize its ambition and increase the membership to at least two thousand.Such a membership would, after all, be only a very moderate one for a city of such financial and commercial importance as ours, and should be attained if each member -of the Board would go to work in earnest.The greater the membership the great er is the weight attaching to the Board at home and abroad.More important, however, than membership to this end is the success of the Board in giving voice and effect to a real public opinion.At one time the members of the Montreal Board of Trade were called together quarterly.This custom has lapsed on account of the small numbers who attended.Without such meetings, however, the Board can hardly be counted a live institution; nor can the merchant who has no use for the floor of the building count himself to have any practical relationship to it.One reason why those meetings were small was because in the old exchange building it was impossible to hear what was going on.Another was that in old times subjects of general interest were not brought up.Discussion kept itself very much within the technical lines of trade.It was not till the Chambre de Commerce was discussing the broad in terests of the country that the Board of Trade began to take an enlarged inter est in things in general.More publicity would certainly evoke a wider interest.Possibly more could be done than is done in the way of attracting the membership to taking part in the affairs of the Board.The discussions of the Chambre de Commerce are very easy of access.THE ARTFUL DODGER.\u2019 The City Council bas discovered that the Montreal Street Railway Bill, which has passed the Quebec Legislative Assembly, and is now befcre the Legislative Council, is inimical to the interests of Montreal.The Street Railway took nd- vantage of a time when everybody else wag preparing for the municipal elections to present the bill to parliament, and the poor aldermen are naturally very angry thereat.It was also a time when the law department of the city was being reorganized, und, by this and by that nobody seems to have been aware of the fact, until the other day, that the Railway Company's bill gives it power to take over charters giving it immense power and practically a monopoly of our streets for ever\u2014that is, if the city does not, in self-defence, have to buy out the octopus at an enormous price over what was paid for all ite belongings and privileges.It was at the inaugural meeting of the City Council that Ald.L.A.Lapointe and Ald.Lavailée put their momentous questions concerning the bill, and expressed their fears of it.A special delegation of aldermen was at once appointed to go to Quebec to watch the city\u2019s interests in connection with legislation affecting the city, and this delegation actually included Alderman Carter, a member of the Montreal City Council, a member of the Quebec Legislative Assembly, and the representative of the Montreal Street Railway Company before the legislature in connection with the company\u2019s bill, the presentation of which was entrusted to him.How far Alderman Carter can reconcile this action with his position as an alderman, avowedly opposed to trusts and monopolies, it is difficult to discern, but one thing is certain\u2014his inclusion in the special delegation was, under the circumstances, a very curious proceeding.The taxpayers of Montreal will doubtless await with considerable interest the next act in this strange history.The delegation was able to persuade the Legislative Council to postpone proceeding with the bill until next Tuesday, but we understand there is little hope that it will be rejected, as everything scems to have been arranged for its passage.Great is the city s law department! \u2014\u2014\u2014 CANADIAN CABLES (Canadian Associated Press.)

two found the rules of the | Home too severe for their taste and en- I listed in the army ; six were dismissed as wncorrigible, after much patient indul- { gence; six who cœme from England and | had left the farms they had gone to in this country, wore induced to return to rural employment, which was far more ! suitable for them than city life and sub- hi sequent reports show that they did well.Of the occupdtions others took up, 1t I 18 recorded that five became plumbers, three machinists, two railway inechandcs, one a brass finisher, one a blacksmith, one a grocery cherk, two\u2019 printers, One a sadier, one a furrier, etc.The health | of the boys in this Home has always | been remarkably good.THE HOME'S FIRST e SUPERINTENDENT.When the project for the Shaftesbury Hall building took a concrete form the i late Mr.John Ritchie.who was super- {Intendent of the Montreal Sauors\u2019 i Institute, was appointed secretary- | treasurer for the movement.His suc- | ©ss in that position led to his ap | Poinément as the first superintendent.of the Home.Ilis first cash book shews { subscriptions taken in the year 1870.| Some of them were quite liberal, giving evidence of practizal and widespread in- i terest in the beneficent undertaking.i Among the contributors of the larger | donations either for the establishment, section, of the or, later, for the maintenance, of the Home, were the following :\u2014 Messrs.Charles Alexander, D.J.Greenshields, G.W.Stephens, J.H.R.Molson, W.C.Macdonald, James Baylis, James Moore, Thomas Workm :n, John Dougall, J.R.Dougall, Edward Mackay, Mrs.Armstrong, Miss Orkney, Miss Dow, Miss Jessie Dow, E.F.Ames, Warden King, R.B.Apgus, R.Anderson, Francis Scholes, G.13.Burland.J.H.Bur- land, the Hon.J.K.Ward, the Ames- Holden Compeny, Limited.Many other friends in more recent years, have proved worthy sudcessors to the benefactors of the early days of the Home.The growth of the work was such that ! it became necessary about the year 188% i for the management to provide for the extension of their accommodation.À lot of land adjoining Shaftesbury Hall was accordingly purchased from Mr.James A.Ogilvy, for the sum of $13,000.As a donation to the Home Mr.Ogilvy | allowed a rebate on this figure.in 1886 ! a new wing was erected on the new lot lat a cost of $13,000.In view of the | proposed widening of Mountain street .the new wing was set back thirty feet | behind the old street line.The later ! additions to the institution have also becn ! built to front on the new line, winch, m ; time, will be the frontige for all buldings ion the street.This wing, owing to j subsequent building operations, has now | become the central section of the Hom?, while the original Shaftesbury Hall has i been demolished to make room for the | latest addition, known as the Alexander Wing.; EDUCATIONAL NEEDS ARISE, In 1892 it was found that there was need of more and a better accommo-ilation were typical ot those that have been re- ! peated over and over again through the ; | | I 1 | for the boys and a demand for educational advantages whioh should be met, For this purpose steps were taken for the erection of what is now the north wing.This was completed in the following spring and opened on March 15.lhe cost of this wing was about thirteen thousand dollars.It provided a large assembly hall, the full size of the ground floor; a large parlor and other rooms on the first floor; sleeping rooms in the second floor and a gymnasium and manual training school in the basement.It is expected that in future the top story will be devoted entirely to educational purposes and a mew gym- ; nesium having been provided, the basement will be used exclusively for the manual training classes.The parlor of this wing was furnished, almost entire ly by the late Mr.Alexander, CHARLES ALEXANDER WING IS ERECTED.For some years past the accommodation of the Home has been becoming more and more cramped and the Shaftes- bury building, used Jatterly principally for dormitory purposes, was becoming dilipidated and unfit for use.These congiderations led to plans being made for the removal of the Shaftesbury building and the erection of a more suitable structure in its place.Work to this end was begun last year, and the new Alexander wing to~lay stands where the Shaftesbury Hail building formerly stood, except that it is back on the new homeo- logated line, thirty fest behind the former street line.The ground floor has been laid out to contain a dining-room, in the front, forty-eight feet long.Each table is intended to accommodate four boys.Lhe THE BOYS' HOME.Showing Shaftesbury Hall on the right and the first addition, now the central Institution.ceiling is divided into and ornamented by four panels.Behind the dining- room are the kitchen and scullery, pantry, stores and supply rooms.From this flat a gallery crosses to the laundry, which is divided into drying and ironing rooms.Underneath these rooms is the boiler room, containing a pair of steum boilers which furnish heat for the entire institution.In the basement, under the dining: room, is the gymnasium, the same size as the dining hall, Here also are the plunge and two shower baths.\u2018lhe plunge is twenty feet long, twelve feet wide and from three to five feet deep.All boys are requirad to wash off under the \u2018shower\u2019 before entering the plunge bath.There are also general washrooms.In the first flat are the rooms of the assistant superintendent and the domestics, in the front; and three dormitories for the smallest boys at the back, with the necessary clothes presses, toilet accommodation, servants\u2019 bath, etc.In the second, or top, flat, are atuated seven new sleeping rooms and a spare room, accommodating thirty more boys, thus providing good accommodation for eighty boys altogether.In addition to all the necessary conveniences on this floor an approved fire-escape has an provided at the end of the main corridor, from which both the roof and the ground can be conveniently reached.The new part has a frontage of fifty- six feet and a depth of fifty feet, In the rear is a cellar large enough to contain eighty tons of coal; over this is an open shed.in which the boys may take exercise In wet or stormy weather when it is not too cold, and over the shed again is a drying space.After the opening and furnishing of the Alexander wing it is the intenton to transfer the \u201cwould be glad if the friends.in connee- i | GO HOME.i | ! over Saturday and Sunday.Nevertheless, ! the non-resident members for their homes Sarurpay, Frsruary 17, 1906 boys from their present quarters to the new building while some much-needed repairs are being made to the central building, in which new hardwood floors are required and some remodelling 18 contemplated.The cost of the new wing will be about thirty thousand do!- lars, exclusive of furnishings.The architectural designs for the three sections of the Home, which now form one building, while not identical in style, conform to a general plan that presents, in its consummation, a very pleasing external appearance.MUCH GOOD DONE TOR THE BOYS.Much might be said to show the gnod that has been done among the boys wbo have resided in the Home during the period of its existence.Suffice it to say that some are successful business men, some farmers, others manufacturers.ministers and missionaries.True, there have been a few who have not turned out well, in spite of the efforts made and the influences thrown around them to direct them into paths of industry and integrity.But statistics show :hat the proportion of these is only about three percent.THE CHINESE DANGER Not Believed in London Thy, Anything Serious has Occurred at Nanking LONDON \u2018POST THINKS vi.ENCE OF JAPAN SUFFICIEN TO PREVENT OUTBREA |, London, Feb.17\u2014No news has - the IDIBSIONATy socleties here reported disturbance at Nankin therefore it is considered that, ©.attack had been made, nothing - can have happened.There so American students at Nank:n the mission opened there ago, there has never been with the natives.The secretary China Inland Mission.Spel the subject, said he thought 1t qu.likely that there would be any rising, and that he was copy Chinese Government would not eu age anti-foreign troubles, especial wn the Chinese imperial COMMISSION w thir any: The finances of the institution give as good an indication of the growth of the work as anything could.When Mr.Dick tcok over the superintendency of the\u2019 Home in 1883 the property, then com-;
