The two comsnissions have done well, and have succeeded wonderfully in a wew departure. But the commission should be larger. ' The Courier thinks there should be three new men, five in all, and one should be a representative of the out- side service, ol ho is familiar with it, and one who, 'throughout his ca- reer, has shown exceptional ability and exceptional zeal. "His practical experience," says our contemporary, "would be a guarantee to the outside service itself, that the new regulations and the new adminis- tration would be sympathetic. At the same time, his record would be a guardntee to the government thai his attitude will be politically friendly and that fads and innovations will not disturb a quiet and amicable working out of the new regulations." ; The Whig has such a man in view, Ald. Shaw. Ae a customs' inspector he is acquainted with conditions in many parts of Canada, and he has the energy, the capacity, and the judg- ment. : Mr. Shaw has contemplated retire .Cor Princess and Chatham Sts. ment from the service, He is tired of B0000000000000000000000000000060 g = g § # HEISEI "STAY IN KINGSTON' We would rather ou would stay, but If you are bound to go we will ail or any pars of your Household Effects that you may want to sell--or if you are starting housekeeping we can fit you ont to perfection, as we carry a full line of Stoves, Furniture, Carpets, Ollcloth, ete, at very low prices.

REAL FACTS COMING OUT. Dr. Macdonald, of the Globe, has been heard from. The Stratford Her- Col. Hughes, and as this defence came from a conservafive paper, to which the doctor was in no way indebted, he writes it appreciatively. On cer tain points he gives some informa- tion. =] Thus it » that he went south alter a certain libel suit, in which he was one of the: central figures, and, dropping off at Washington, came into contact with the newspaper men. Through them he was introduced to the leading members of congress, and incidentally discussed the tariff. Later he was invited to meet the president, and was requested by him to prepare the way for an interview with the Canadian ministers. Until -he reached Ottawa no one there gould know any- thing about his movements. He was not, therefore, as Col. Hughes alleged, the "unofficial agent of the Canadian government." Again his expenses were wholly paid by the Globe. At that time Dr. Mao donald did net even know Mr. Ginn, of Boston, and the World Peace Foun- dation, of which the doctor is a di- rector, was not established until six months afterwards. As to his salary it is entirely from the Globe. To it not one dollar has been contributed by | Mr. Ginn, of the Peace Foundation. Had his health permitted him to at- tend a meeting of the board of man | agement in November he would have been paid his expeuses. Only that and nothing more. This board is compos od of some of the busiest and best men IT DETECTS EVEN EGYPTIAN MUMMY'S BLOOD. The New Discovery Used in England May Solve the Clapham Murder London, Feb. 24.--Dr. Ublenhuth's new test of human blood is so deli Sately sensitive that te. blood of an gyptian mummy thousa years he Rr hoa Tan been applied t just appli in England for the first time in connec: tion with the Clapman murder, stains on the murderer's clothes, which he were only spatters of paint proved to be human blood. kA rabbit. is inoculated with human blood, and after a time the serum tak- ed is linen, the threads are separated, placed in a saline solution for a while to give them the needed density, and dropped in the test tube. Then the serum from the rabbit is added and if there is even a trace of human blood present a milk ring forms in the tube ost iately. Serums from 'a horse, sheep, pig, dog, and ox can be obtained by the same method, but when diluted human blood is added to one of these the li- quid remains = clear, forms. : This adds even to the great value of Uhlenhuth's test. Under certain con- ditions the older tests did not dis tinguish between human blood and that of an ox, say. Ublenhuth's me- thod seems to identify human blood with absolute certainty. .

EDITORIAL NOTES, Did the Kingston Board of Trade | its. representatives to the | associated board to discuss and pass upon reciprocity ? And being without | a mandate on this subject, why should | they presume to. speak in the name of the people they did not consult ? The province should have its con: sumptive hospital, and liberally main- tain. The central government in On- tario should lead in health reform, and in this matter, so far as tuber- culosis is concerned, it is shamefully inactive. For this the premier is most- iy to blame. At Mamilton Mr. Foster did not ex- plain why he had somersaulted on the reciprocity (uestion. Since when has be been convinced that it would be a sinful thing, undermining and destroy- ing the natiomalism of the Canadian people ? His change of face or faith is inexplicable, Wentworth county has gone into a refuge proposition, and when it is car- vied out the expenditure will be $15, 000. The investment of such a sum Fromwenae pays for the care of! its poor, to say nothing of salaries! and maintenance. While the C.P.R. men, headed by Sir | Wiliam VanHorne, are 'roundly de-| noumcing the rveviprocity agreement, the stock is booming, having within a few days risen from 209) to 212.

They adopted February Sth, a temporary constitu- tion. Oth, voting by states, they elected Jefferson Davis president and Alexander H. Stephens vice-presi- ent. Mr. Stephens called the Montgom- ery Congress "the ablest, soberest, | most intelligent and conservative body 1 was ever in." The eminent dele gates approached the breach with be- eoming pea were honor- able men, mo deeply religi- believed ves in the right. Not for one moment did they consider their. revolution- . They believed that they upheld the true of the Federal Union. Many tutional students still hold the sbuthern wiew of the right of secession under the constitution of the United States. That belief may bave prompted Re tative Bart. lett, of orgia, Wednesday to resent in se General Keifer's use of the "rebellion." To de fend one's constitutions! Sights as one sees them is not subjectively a rebel lious act. Even the term "civil war" is in that view inaccurate, though less objectionable, , As defined in the South it was "the war between the states." For a schism based avowedly upon constitutional grounds the Confeder- acy as a government was little chang- od from ite northern model. The Montgomery Congress combined a law. making with constitution-tirafting and the election of a president by adopting the whole body ob Federal statutes as it then stood, including the tariff of 1857. The slave trade was forbidden in the provisional con. stitution, though to this there was some objection. Afterward under the stern compulsion of war the draft was as harshly enforced in the south as in the north. The doctrine of seces- ston from session ATOSE and was vigorously if inconsistently combated. Toward the end of the desperate strug- gle the great name of Lee stood spon- sor for a proposal to arm and enlist | negro soldiers as.the north had al ready done. By the close of the war there was little logical difleronce in the frame or the conduct of the two govern. ments. Both had arbitrarily grasped dangerous "war powers." The south gone even further in this than the north. It fixed prices for pro- duce, ran railroads, passed sumptuary laws, Its need was the more impera: tive. With slavery gone bevond ho of recovery there was nothing in t nature of the theorctival dispute to prolong tle conflict.

For such Zam-Buk is really fime. Mrs. P. Drummond, of Thetiord Mines, Que., writes : "For some years, as soon as cold weather has started, my little daughter's face and bands have been covered with rough watery patches, which before long turned into nasty sores. These would itch amd smart terribly. They remained on her face from fall until spring for. three successive years, and we could get nothing which did her any good, wntil a short time ago 1 started using Zam- Buk. Now, after Zam-Buk treatment, the sores have entirely disappeared, leaving her skin as smooth and clear as is ible," .

Pall Mall Gazette Owing to. the enormous growth of the a of arms and amguni- tion into Persia and Afghanistan, mainly by way of the Persian gulf, last year, when it is estimated that over a million rounds of ammunition and 20,000 magazine rifles were cone veyed into the amir's dominions, the matter is now receiving the earnest attention of the Indian government, and it has been proposed that a spe cial mission should be sent to Kabul to confer with the authorities there on the subject. Though not stated in the consular reports and other official documents, gun-runtting is without doubt the staple industry of a large proportion of the dwellers on the shores of the Persian gulf aj the present time, and this occupation has been almost brought up to a fine art in the past few years. Sir Arthur Nicholson, now our ambassador in St. Petershurg, but for some years stationed in Teheran, stated some time ago that, unofficial ly, he estimated that upwards of 50, 000 rifles bad been smuggled through the gull ports in the course of a single the bulk of these rifles ul timately found their way into Afghan- istan, t are also found to be in large num in Beluchistan, Russian and Chivese Turkestan, Persia and even 0 far away as Tibet.
