To attach "allowances" to the emoluments of any post on the plea that adequate representation of its duiles demands exceptional expenditure is to subsidise caste and privilege. It is instructive to read that Queen Victoria has been upon the British throne 53 years, and during that period the nation has paid her (with compound interest) at the very least 110 millions, walle the sums paid to her off-spring, pensioners, have run the amount up to nearly double that figure.

THE WRECK OF THE "ARGYLL"
A SURVIVOR'S STORY.
A few days ago we reported that the British bark Argyll was wrecked near Manila and that the crew had beta saved. We are now in a position to give our readers, some further particulars of the wreck of this fine ship, gathered from one of her officers, who, together with 16 members of the crew, arrived here from Manila In the Zafire a day or two ago,
Our informant stated, in response to the usual questions, that the Argyll was a bark of 1,175 tun register, owned by Messrs. Thompson & Co. of St. John's, New Brunswick. She was commanded by Mr. Stevens, a native of Nova Scotia, who had been in "sailers" all his life, and she carried a crew of 17, all told, including, of course, the chief officer, Mr. H. S.

CAPITAL, we read, is farther organising and consolidating in England. The British Ship Owners' Federation wants to ally itself with the Mine-owners' Association and the Manufacturers Union. With such a gigantic combination of taskmasters, it is considered that the capitalists would be able to pulverise the wage-carners and defeat even a universal strike. So they might under ardinary conditions. But these two massed foes confronting each other would present in actual form the paradoxical problem of an irresistible force and an immovable body." There could be only one outcome to such a position, and that is the physical outburst of the masses, revelation, in which organised capitaldom would be broken up and swept away by blood red blizzard. When both sides are fully organised the whirlwind must come along.
