"Opifer per Orbem Dicer." - Familiar Figure Gone. Hon. William MeDougall is dead. He was not known to the young men of the day, but those who are familiar with political events twenty-five years will remember. him as an active force in political life. He was a man of great ability, but his"was not the power that was praoti- cal. He was not able to adapt himself to circumstances, or to follow a giv- en line and wait for the recognition. In other words he could not labow and rest for results. : So ke was changeable in his ways, his manners, and his party affilia- tions, The tern "Wandering Willie," was applied to him in a good-natured sense and as descriptive of his wob- bling, The most notable event in his career was his attempt to govern the North-West when _ government was very crude. He was refused the honors that were his quest, and he felt it very keenly. His last appearange in political controversy was during the national policy. campaign of 1877 and 1878. He was the ally then of Sir John Macdon- ald and Sir Charles Tupper. He was a fluent and eloquent speaker, but he did not command the regard of the people, and he seemed to realize it. With the return of tlhe eonservatives to power he did not receive any ap- pointment. Whatever he felt he . said nothing, and in the succeeding years devoted himsqlf exclusively to the practice of law. If there is any lesson in his fife it is the unprofitableness of politics. Mr. McDougall gave his best years and best-mind to the service of the people, and he got scant satisfaction and re- ward. Had he put the same vigour and attention into law he would have been a richer and a happier man. oA Great Naval Battle. The nayal triumph of the Japanese has been established by their com- plete defeat of the Rojestvensky ficet, It appears to have heen a great battle, the greatest in a century, and the most decisive in its results, In the con- solidation' of the Russian flevt, in the caution with which it moved, in the deliberation with which its movements were planned there was the evidence of hgreat expectation when tha® opposing fleets came together. s The whereabouts of Togo had be come a mystery. So long delayed was the collision that some people were disposed to think that the Russians would reach Vladivostok and effect a meeting with the vessels there. There was much talk of Rojestvensky. There was a purpose in this, It was to mis- lead. But Togo was not depending up- on false reports. He had been kept fully informed of what was going on, and while the Russian ships were al- leged to have gone to sea he knew that they had entered the straits of Korea, and prepared to give them battle. The choice of position favored the The situation meant that the Russians could not, as when off Port Arthur, play peck-a-hoo. They had to fight and with disastrous re- sults, The fleets fairly matched. On paper there was a preponderance in favour of the Russians. Had the fourth Baltic squadron under Nebo- gatofl joined Rojestvensky this pre- ponderance, it has been remarked, would have been real. The Russiafs had seven battleships, two armoured eruisers, and six protected cruisers. Togo had five battleships, eight arm- oured cruisers, and thirteen protected cruisers, besides a large number of destroyers and torpedo boats, In the number of guns the fleets were about equal, though the Japanese guns were superior, and they were handled with trained men, as many as 10,000 marines and gunners, It will be some days before the par- ticulars of the battle will be available. It was apparently long drawn ont. It began on Saturday and continued un- ul dark. It was resumed on Sunday and lasted all day, The fleets had it hot for a time, but as the Russians lost, in fighting power they seem to have retreated and were pressed by the Japanese, whose vessels were the faster and terrible damage and loss of life followed. Togo had the chance of his life this time. The Russian fleet might disperse and sail away, but without a shelter, such as the Port Arthur fleet had, it was bound to suffer severely. Well, what of all this carnage ? Will itlead 'to any good ? Will it jmpress the nobility in Russia, the war lords, and reduce them to reason. They ap- pear to have staked their all upon this naval evint. Had Rojestvensky succeeded the fortunes of war might have been changed, Japan might have been cut off from the base of supplies.

Chicago, May 30.--Mayor Dunne says that Chicago will not pay more than $50,000,000 for the traction proper- ties. His figures were based, he said, upon a report 'made by experts, "I expect to make public the entire report soon," he il "but for the present have turned it over to these experts for verification." The mayor gave his opinion of the value of the street railway lines and their prob- able cost to the city since his election and his figures aro 'wuch lower than those given, in his campaign, when he estimated the price to be paid at $77,000,000. "The whole city can be gridironed with tracks, not only the Union Trae- tion and its consolidated lines and the Chicago City Reilway company, but also all the street railway lines with- in the city limits, for $50,000,000, with the most modern appliances, the best tracks, the most -comfortable cars, and all other mechanical im- provements to rehabilitate the lines," the mayor said. "Will this price include the money to be paid for the watered stock of the companies ?"' he was asked. "When we. go into the street rail- way business we are not going into the stock and bond business," the meavor replied, "We are going to get rails and power-houses, and not otocks and bonds." ° Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the Very Best. "I have been using Chamberlain's Sough Remedy and want to say it is the best cough medicine I have ever taken," says George L. Chubb, a merchant of Harlan, Mich. There is no question about its being the best, as it will cure a cough or cold in less time than any other freatment. It should always be kept in the house ready for instant use, for a cold can cured in much less time when promptly treated. For sale by all druggists, Will Quit His Church. St. Thomas, May 30.--Rev.
