The attention of the government is called to the growth of bucket shops in Canada, and te the consequent in: crease of danger to the classes who will persist in patronizing them, The bucket whop is not, usually, a monied institution. Tt requires some capital, enough of it to make good some losses when its transactions are {upon the wrong side of the market. As a rule its deals are small, or for small sums in marging, and a loss now and again can be met without small sums and bankruptey follows. A rising market--one which calls for the production of profits by the bue- ket shop--ends in the collapse of 'the house, and these collapses are too numerous to mention, It is easicor to [fail and start under & new name than to make good the claime of de- positors for benefits. A failing mar- ket the patrons and it may often has led, to irrecover- and the ills that attend and losses them, "Hence the story," as one has put it, "of defaleations, suicides, deaths, due entirely to the bucket shop." A new menace has arisen. The men look it up. They canvass for it. They show how quickly money can be made with a few dollars, invested on mar- gin and in stock speculation. The result is . the folly of persons gambling with trust moneys, the «| greatest of all evils, and involving losses upon helpless widows and orphaned children. It is this invasion of private and sacred interests that is resentful feeling, and causes the de- mand for a supervision of bucket shops by government inspectors. It seems to be the one way of saving somo people from themselves, of put- ting a check upon the get-rich fever that has possessed so many. exciting a GEORGE TAYLOR'S VINDICATION. George Taylor, M.P., distinguished himself in the Commons when he | Made th attack on Mr. Don- oghue, the fair-wage officer of the bu- reau of labour. Mr. Taylor had previously accused Mr. Donoghue of being an organizer for the liberal par- ty. The Whig asked him for an in- stance in which he had looked more closely after the interests of the liber- als than the interests of the wage-earn- crs. " The result was the scene in the house. Mr. Taylor marched into ity with a fyle of the Nanaimo Herald, several months old. It contained a ve port of a labor meeting in the inter- ost of Hugh Smith, M.P., and a meet- ing at which Mr. Donoghue appeared and made a speech. That speech was a humorous description of how the peo- ple's business was sometimes conduet- od in the house, the attendance of members being small and some of these members asleep. The only remark of a special signi: ficanco wus this: "They say 1 am a political heeler. What they say I am they would be if they were in my N > place." | And that was the vindication which Me. Taylor courted, which warranted a in saying that Mr. Donoghue was ; organizer for the liberal party. | How silly | 5 : - Taylor seems to have made him: 4 : cart, It is that there sali faction like that of duty ---------- EDITORIAL NOTES. appear to better advantage if ral, the Tessin J i government.

But Sir Richard Cartwright is authority for the statement that there is to be a Canadian service on the Pacific. One enterprise of this kind at a time is enough. The Brantford Expositor has been looking into the laws of Michigan and New York and does not find anything which warrants the assertion that there is a two cent per mile rate. On the contrary it finds that the rate is between three cents and four cents per mile. Mr. McLean, of the World, has rea- son to be offended with the way his party is acting. He was ignored by it until Mr. somersaulted on public eer a. and then the leader of the opposition is hailed as a re markably wise man and a statesman. What is Mr. McLean ? -- Domestic science is becoming costly. Hamilton estimates that for the teaching of it two rooms, fitted up, will cost $762, and maintenance of classes 81,100 a year. The government has offered $420 towards the expense, The Hamilton trustees are at sixes and sevens upod the subject, There iy some desire to know what sort of a man he is who insinuated, at the St. Louis Press Convention, that the women were responsible for the scandal in the newspapers.

Thereupon the physician care- fully scratc! out a part of the pre- tion and handed it back with ten cents, remarking : "You can get that filled for a dime.

That 15 the case in the United States. Arrangements have been completed for the production by the New Cen- tury theatre, in London, of Prof. Gil- bert Murray's translation of the "Hippolytus," of Euripides, in the Lyric theatre. The chorus will be un- der the direction of Miss Florence Farr, and the odes "'cantilated" nc- cording to the system invented, or, at any rate, perfected, by that lady and Arnold Dolmetsch. Granville Par- ker will produce the play. Mrs. Patrick Campbell is to make another tour of America under Charles Frohman's man ent. She will ap- pear in Sardou's latest play, "The Sorceress." Mrs. Campbell's contract calls for tWenty-soven weeks, and an effort will be made to have her play in some of the smaMor towns in her former reperjoire. Before sailing for the United States, Mrs. Campbell is to play a brief engagement in Paris, with Madame Bernhardt in Peleas and Melisande. The "Red Feather" company pre sented Miss Grace Van Studdiford with a $300 loving cup, in Buffalo, N. Y. On the cup were these words : "Presented to Grace Van Studdiford, cause we like her." Of the charming singer, one of the little chorus girls said : "I never met a more charming person than Miss Van Studdiford. She has been so very nice to us all sea son, and so considerate, that this lov ing cuv is only a very small token of our esieem for her." Ben Greet, the great Shakespearean actor, wio appéwrs here next week, has a contempt for the "star" sys- tem, which prevents a play from be- ing properly produced. In order to bring out the prominence of one play- er, the supporting parts are generally placed in thé hands of second raters. This was not the case in Viola Allen's company nor is it with Mr. Greet, who has surrounded himself with a group of the hest players, each one of whom plays his or her part in a per- fect manner. In the various roles, all therefore are "stars;"' ome is not fea- tured above the other. Get the habit of drinking egg phos- phate at Gibson's Red Cross drug store fountain.
