the commissioners to lesue of a second circular letter to the various insurance companies on the subject of information of their opera tions which they are asked to furnish to the Insurance

the foreign companies had deposited securities far in excess of the legal requirement.\u2019 Mr.Madore also thought the staff of the department did not seem large encugh and suggested the appoiuun-nt of another Inspector.Mr.Shenley followed this with a long examination of the wurk où the department and the staff, going back to 1885.The impression left was that there was toe much work for the

March 28.\u2014Mr.Root, Secretary of State, has determined to provide as far as possible ior the American consuls legislated out of the service by the recently enacted vonsular reorganization bill.The blow falls heaviest upon the consuls in Canada, where no less than twelve offices are abolish- ed, namely, Amherstburg, Brockville, Chatham, Goderich, Guelph, London, Peterborough, St.Thomas, Stratford, and Wallaceburg, in the province of Ontario, and Grenville and Stanbridge in Quebec.Lack of business is the as signed reason for the abolition, and 1t was pointed out to the House that the British consular representation on the Anerican side of the Canadian line was much smaller than th: American force of consuls in Canada.the fact being that there was not a single British consulate in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minne- gota or Ohio.Necretary Root has decided that he will try Lo find places tor as many of these officers as possible.-\u2014 SUNDAY OBSERVANCE THE REV.MR.SHEARER CEIVES

of late ie reported as having just been completed.By this deal the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway gets possession of the property situnten on the west side of McGill strest between William and Wellington streets.It is said that, had one of the proprietors in the vicinity not refused to dispose of his property for the price offered, a still larger site would have been acquired.It is expected, however, that this difficulty will shortly be overcome.As it is, the railway company gets possession of a very Yarge and valuable block; and, as the Grand Trunk has been gradually acquiring a.large amount of property in the immediate neighborhood, there is a probability that the site now obtained will be used as the terminal of the new G.T.P.Railway.Ths property referred to was shown in the picture which

five years on the basis of a uniform price of ninety eents and no charge for meter rentals, eighty-five cents for ten years, and eighty cents for fifteen years.The fact that the company charges two prices for exactly the same gas and extorts two meter rents is, of course, so wildly ab- eurd that if it were imagined in a Gilbert and Sullivan opera, or an Anstey story of Topsyturvydom, everybody would exclaim.\u2018How insanely impos gible\u2019 As for the prices suggested by Mr.Baylis, they are far too hgh.There is no rhyme or reason in the proposal that Montreal shall pay from ninety to eighty cents for gas for the next fifteen years, when New York is to get its gas now for eighty cents by act of the Legislature, and when large private companies in England are charging consumers as low as forty-eight cents.Making all allowances for the difference in the cost of labor and climatic conditions, not even the Gas Company would have the face to claim that it amounts to anything like a hundred percent.But hardly any lower price that the Gas Company could be persuaded to charge for its gas in consideration of an extension of its franchise could compensate for the fact that any bargain with it would bind us to the feet of the Light, Heat & Power combination.In the presence of that combination the only course open to the city is to provide it: own gas plant and either administer the altogether the vital consideration of insurance by which the living pay for the dead.Whether, after all, the Workman Orévr is able to do as Mr.Porter suggests has nothing to do with his bank deposit argument, but is purely an actuarial question, which neither he nor we can solve.In most fraternal societies the risks are generally started too low, and death-claims soon mons than swallow up the premiums, so that there are actually no reserves earning interest.Before Mr.Porter's manuscript reached us it had been in other hands, and a marginal comment had been made tu some of his contentions, reading: \u2018Undoubtedly startling in their falseness.\u201d By some curious oversight this foreign remark was passed by the printer and proof-reader and others concerned, and appeared in the body of Mr.Porter's letter.This is an illustration of the way in which many passages of Scripture are accounted for.oven by the most orthodox of critics, what is supposed to be the marginal note of one scribe adopted into the text by the next.Veterans of the Fenian invasions of 1886 and 1870 must feel deeply obliged to the politicians in parllament, who waited forty years in the first instance, and thirty-six in the second, before bringing their claims for grants of land before parliament.As the party to which these politicians belong was In power most of the time since the raids took place, it seems rather curious that they never thought about veteran claims till after the other party had been nearly ten years m power.The rountry is cer tainly.as it should be, grateful Yo men who volunteered to resist invasion.But compensation having been granted to those who suffered actual loss, and pensions given to the maimed, the wi dows and orphans, while all the others were given medals, the belated proposition to give land grants now savors mote of politics than patriotism.And how will those who are proposing ii face the shades of the many who have passed over to where land is not needed, before this proposal was made.Yet, rotwithstanding the inroads of death, we all know how claimants multiply, as the wars that created them become re- mete.- Some fifty thousand men were called out to meet the two \u2018raids.AI- lowing for many who volunteered for both, there would still be an army whose claims it would be difficult to satisfy, even in the Peace River region, as one generous member of parliament suggested.A specimen of aldermanic patronage, flagrant and unblushing, is afforded by the action of the Water Committee yesterday afternoon.Ald.Nault produced an affidavit, signed by three unknown men, stating that they had seen a man named.Prevost, who was in the employ of the city as an inspector of water fixtures in houses, spend hours on certain days in a certain house, between 9 and 5 o'clock.The affidavit was received by the committee, no inquiry being made into it.Ald.Nault then moved that Prevost be immediately dismissed for neglect of duty.This also was done, no inquiry having been made into the truth of the affidavit, \u2018and Prevost\u2019s request for such inquiry having been refused.Then Ald.Nault moved that the vacant position be immediately given to L.O.Marin.No one knew making of gas and its distribution by means of ome or two reputable and practical commissioners, or lease it to résponsible parties for moderate terms by

as 1 does in its destructive work.| it destructive because the faots which it elicits are in the preseat state of the, atmosphere like the whispers in a vault- ; ed catacomb, whieh come thundering, back from far distances exaggerated into, the shrieks of the infernal pit.We] have been sent a letter from a very; large insurer to an insurance agent in a distant province, in which the charges made are of the most heinous descrip- \u2019 nd precisely the reverse of the irregularities brought out in_ evidence.The letter concludes: \u2018lf they can \u2018 find these things so easy, there must \u2018be a \u2018lot concealed that they cannot \u201ctell anything about.\u201d Thus the hideous crimes which this man bas hegrd of are, in his terrifred\u2019 mind, multiplied a thousand times; whereas, if his news paper had given him any fair notion of the facts, he would have known that every bookkeeping question which: the most careful examination had unfolded in a score of years had been found in Mr.Blackadar\u2019s note-book.There are few institutions in whose soundness and good reputation the people of Canada have more interest.Any process which: thus injures their reputation among the | ignorant is a national cilamity.Any newspaper that would wulingly go to work to increase this mischief is a national enemy.The commission which has been the medium of all this destructive work owes it to the country not only to; give an exculpatory verdict where that: is due, but in its recommendations to advise such regulations as will tend to the best business results for the many; who have their savings at stake.To: this end they should surely have some other advice than that of an \u2018independent\u2019 actuary.a tp 4 CANADIAN GEOLOGY.The appointment of a new director to, the

geology.He had been sent to Swansea, in Wales, to look after the affairs of a mining company, in which his relative was interested, and his | Jeisure time was spent in examining coal seams and copper deposits.His enthusiasm grew rapidly and he sent to London for scientific instruments, including a theodolite, to enable him to carry on the study more in a short time the discovery of one or two

Canada, 1863, is perhaps the best | monument of his scientific labors.It! might be thought that an estimate of Dawson's original work in geology would | be obtained from his more popular | books, such as \u2018 Story of the Earth and Man,\u201d but these were confessedly popular, and the proper estimate can only be obtained from the less known \u2018 Geological History of Plants,\u2019 and \u2018Canadian Icà Âge.\u201d In both departments he was #h\u2019 otiginal investigator of great power.Logan and Dawson gave Canadian geology a reputation abroad which is, perhaps, not as well appreciated by ourselves as it might be.Since Sir Wil- Jiam Logan, the Survey has continued to do great work under Dr.A.R.C.Selwyn, Dr.Geo.M.Dawson, son of Sir William, and Dr.Robert Bell, who has filled a considerable interregnum as temporary chief, and who has now been appointed chief geologist.Mr.Low, who suc- «eds to the directorship, has won for himself a very honorable name among geological explorers.The Canadian Geological Survey has at all times had to labor under {he narrowest financial conditions when these are compared with the magniture and virgin character of its field.It has always been obliged to keep practical ends in view as well as scientific.At tim2s, indeed, criticism directed against it has seemed to indicate that it was looked to by the average member of parliament solely as a body of mining prospectors for the country at large, But the survey is well worth the expenditurz the country makes upon it, from the point of view of pure science, although it has constantly justified its existence from the practical point of view as well A vast area of the country from ocean and ocean has been geologically determined and mapped, and that work alone is in-; dispensable to intelligent and practical prospecting.But the attitude of mind which does not measure national pro- | high reward of more mtellectual i sults.of geology takes a good place.i
