Thus it combines in ONE SOAP at ONE PRICE, the BEST skin and complexion soap, and the BEST toilet and baby soap in the world,

THE THREE PROFESSORS.
We cannot fairly say that Professors Dowar, Perry, and Ármstrong, who all lectured on education at the British As sociation Congress, did more, in effect, than what so many other public men and newspapers do; they called attention* to the subject. With all respect to these distinguished men, that is not a very difficult or a very useful achievement. It would be more to the point if they would draw up a specification from which the general public might learn exactly what is wanted, how much it will cost, and what the taxpayer will get in return for his money. Professor Dowar, for example, gives us a comparison between the num bers of trained chemists employed in German and in British factories, and he tells us that there exist in the Fatherland chemical industries worth fifty millions sterling, largely founded upon the re- searches of Englishmen. Prima facié, therefere, we have lost £50,0 0,000 by neglecting to develop these industries; which opportunity has been lust, according to Professor Dewar, through

Yet the basic principle of Municipal Socialism is not even that one good as another, but that the manual Jabourer is a great deal better than anyone elso; that his word should be law, and that the whole world is his, and the fulness thereof. By concentrated political mance- uvring, an attempt is actually being made to give practical effect to such pestilential doctrines in our Municipalities, and in several cases the result hus been to cause the town to make marked progress' in the direction of insolvency.

sent year.

The principal recommendations and con- clusions of the Committee are summarised as follows:
1. In view of the probability of cable- cutting, a variety of alternative routes should be provided wherever esseictial to secure telegraphic communnation in time of
war.
2. Appreciable but not paramount value should be attached to the provision of All British routes. Every important Colony or Naval base should be connected with this country by one cable touching only on. British territory or on the territory of some friendly neutral. After this there should as many alternative cables as possible be following commercial routes,
We recommend the construction of (4) A cable conneding either Rodriguez and Ceylon, Cocos-Keeling and Coylon or Goers-Keeling and Singapore. (b) A land ling connecting the Straits Settlements and Burma. (c) An All-British' cable to St. Lucia, to be commenced as soon as the state of cable enterprise in the West Indies permits.

In view, however, of the fact that the rates between Indin and Great Britain, and between the Straits Settle- ments and Great Britain had been reduced after the issue of the Inter-Departmental Committee's Report, the Committee of this Chamber will shortly once more press for a reduction of the Hongkong rates.
I am also requested to point out that ne- cording to the Agresment for landing rights granted by the Hongkong Government to the Cable Companies the public are practi- cally the hands of these Companies in the matter of charges, and to express the hope that in view of the special reference (recommendation and conclusion 7) by the Inter-Departmental Committee to the may be relied upon to bring about a question of landing rights your assistance termination of this state of affairs at the carliest possible opportunity.
From the information at the disposal of this Chamber, it appears that in 1894 the Government entered into an agreement with the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company, binding for 20 years, whereby the to be granted any concession or authority Government engaged not to grant or permit for laying any new Sub-marine Cables con- necting Hongkong with Singapore or Labuan, and, zu far as would appear from the information at our disposi, the only quid pro quo, for the virtual mon opoly thus granted is that Government Company's Messages are to be sent over the Eas tern Entension Telegraph lines at half rates, the protection of the

even if the agreement and its bluding effects on the public cannot be got rid of for the present, strict instructions may be issued that a renowal of it is not to be per mitted without a radical change in the con- ditions thereof. Indued, this Chamber is unable to see the necessity for debarring any other British Cable Companies from applying for, and being granted, landing rights in Hongkong, and its dependencies, on any reasonable conditions, and certainly there should be nothing in the nature of monopoly such as appears to be conferred In view of the Inter-Departmental Com should be entitled The Cables Committee," and that it should report direct to the mitree's recommendation and conclusions Treasury, the Board of Trade being relieved 8, advocating the necessity of encourag of its present responsibilities with regarding free trade in cables, this Committee feel it unnecessary to further labour this to cables.
