freight, which it did to such good effect to the early days of the "war" that at one bound the P. and O. reduced its rate by Rs. 7 per ton. Whether the Japanese Company was backed by Government or not, a great deal of money WAS lost over the business, and this has led the Com. pany to content to a fixed tariff la conjunction with its principal competitors. But the two or three years' fierce competition has by no means ended to fallare from the point of view of producer and consomer, ar the intes agreed upon considerably lower than they were when the trade was to the hands of one company. It is said that even now the rales are too low to be remunerative to the companies, and it may be that under this plen they will be raised after they have been in force some tims. Monopoly prices can be demanded by a ring even mora effectively than by a single company. It is to be hope, however, for the sake of our cotton trade with Japan, the loss of which would be irreparable, that the four compales will be very slow to bring about enhancements. The Japan line has alone shared with the P. & O. the conveyance of oplam to China, but since the days of their enmity are over it fi probable that the Nippon Yasen wili consent to give the P. & O. #monopoly of this trade. Now that they rig paying higher freights, the exporters will more than ever feel the extent to which they are handicapped lo competing for the Japanese cotton trade, by the very high cable rates still maintained between India and the Far East. While there has been good reason for the steamship companies to enhance their demands to such an extent as to prevent loss, there is equally good cause for the Telegraph Companies to lower the exorbitant charges now made. They could do so without fear of ptying smaller dividends, since business would be sure to increase if it was encouraged by the reducitons

We also learn that the Ban Seng Guan has been insured by the owners
paying something like five per cent. on £15,000, and that, as hitherto no claim whatever has been mada on them, the Insurance Company will reimburse to the owners the whole or a part of the sums they have had to pay the Gloucester Cily.—Observer.

The result of the Republican convention at St. Louis was generally expected here, consequently the definita announcement of the Domination of Governor McKinley for the preildency of the United States on a gold platform was regarded with comparative apathy, Financial circles, however, do not regard the outlook as improved to such an extent as to Jasiffy jubliation. The foreign relations plank of the platform is viewed as being highly militant character, and apparently it has made inventors here somewhat nervous.
A letter from an Euglishman, who has been for long a resident in Italy, published in Truth, gives a serious picture of the situation of affairs in that country. He says revolution is only a question of time. The taxes are 60 per cent. on all incomes, starving the peasantry and the lower classes generally, equal to those of the In Sardinia, French before the revolution, mothers are feeding their children on grass and weeds by the roadsides, and in all parts there ai deaths from starvation.

It is considered that the new Repablican govemment cannot repudiate Mr. Cleveland's Venezuela message, and that something will have to be done with the report of the commission. No policy which Lord Sallsbury could adopt would be more popular in England than an honourable settlement of the Venezuela question and the creation of a permanent arbitration tribunal.

As for local administrailon, which has direct relation with the people, care should be exercised to conduct averything har- moniously, with a Judicious blending of firmness and elasticity. For this reason, ́exertions should be made to reconcile the natives to the authority of our Emperor by kind teaching on one hand and to uphold the dignity of our power by punishing strictly and impartially all offences on the other hand.
