FIRST-CLASS WORK. Laundry Called For and Delivered. The Ash Burning "Theory Doubted Wide Divergence of Opinion in a Matter of Almost Universal Interest. Dr. ard, Toronto's Medical health officer, and chairman of the provincial board of health, says, "Balderdosh," when the ash-burning question is men. tioned to him. The Altoona cobbler and thg Globe ri say, "Eureka," "I have found it," while the Toronto city engineer at the City Hall says, "It is a failure.'

What a pity it #8 that men like him were not called into service, under the law, by the longshoremen and shippers of Mont- wal, to adjust the differences that are saralyzing trade and doing the port an irreparable injury ? Se satisfactory was the machinists' case settled that hoth sides to' it expressed their satis- faction, and they did this gladly and because they were really pleased. FEATURES OF THE CHANGE. The man who showed how the new postal regulations affected him came in for special attention from one of the favoured weekly papers. He is a subscriber to Vogue, Engineering News, The Nation, Science and Fdu- cational Review, which now cost him $18. Under the new postal agreement the oost will be $22.55. He has the consolation of reflecting, or the spec ial advice of this weekly, upon the fact that he "subscribed to excellent publications,"". and that he might sub- seribe for English periodicals of a like character, "A good deal depends on the quality of the work. The man who has been getting a high-class service from the American magazines may be as well served by the English magazines, but it will at least take a long time to demonstrate this, if it can be demon- strated at all. Tho English publisher and his methods are peculiar, and the fact ix made so evident by the Review of Reviews. You have compared the English and American editions, of course. Have you noticed the differ ence botween them ? The Stead spirit is in evidencp, to be sure. It is not willing to be ignored under any cir cumstances, but it is dominated by another spirit, in the American efli- tion, that of Dr. Shaw, the editor whose comments on matters nearer home make his work so meritorious. The defenders of the new postal ar- rangement appear to have been very solicitous about the English maga- zines, and their circulation in Can- ada, bit they have been perhaps more solicitous about a few Canadian pub- lications which have wanted a mabe poly of Canadian territory and got $ it. They 'arc not serving the field which certain high-class magazines oc cupied, and it is doubtful if the Eng- lish magazines will do it. ISSUE IN THE NEXT ELECTION. The great issue in the next United States national election will be rail- way control, This will be to the ex- clusion of the tariff question. It will sidetrack all other considerations. The States individually have been attempt. ing railway supervision, and it has been inefiectual for the reason that many roads have been crossing sow eral states and are so beyond the regu- lation of the logislatures. There is a seeming obedience to the law, and an evasion of it whenever possible. The president has, apparently, been forsecing the necessity of national ae tion, and he has &oen contemplating it for some time. His plan is to appoint a commission which will make a valu- ation of all the roads, not as to the actual cost of building and equipping them merely, but of acquiring the business which they control. There will be a reckoning of the good will, then, the addition to the material interests, and the contract will be an immense one. The outcome is fairly represented, polls. ing day is to be effective. personal interest, est activity. means, Finally--Get the people interested: They are not talking about the scheme, and it is an ominous sign, Better be sure of your plans than sor. ry over the results. It will not avail to make up the day after the polling, if then the two-thirds vote be not secured, The motto of the hour should be, "Kingston as an industrial centre," now, and the smelter as a winning scheme. EDITORIAL NOTES. , My, what a quarrel the council is having over a street light bill ! Great issues require the attention of great minds. . What will Mr. Whitney do about the Orangeville case ? Will he enpire into the facts and give his opinion ? It is up to him to do something. The Globe is referred to as favour: ing yellow journalism. How is not apparent, save that it is stirring up the. Orangeville case, and with good reason. Today the National Convention, at Dublin, will discuss the Irish Council Bill. Dissension among the Irish peo- ple may result in another setbmok. Some of the leaders are not demon- strating their capacity for self-gov- ernment. : The controllers of Toronto had the street railway curves at Secarboro beach park pulled up--not knowing what thoy wero doing and now they are permitting the work to proceed because it is legul and right.
