The Royal Commission on Technical Educa-over the Council" flon Report for 1884 contains this statement --- "Every step taken for the Improvement of German Industries was influenced mainly by the desire to strengthen their position with regard to the rivalry of England."
It is submitted that the Council would exercise real control when necessary; the present position is that practically one man controls the Board where shipping matters are concerned. The Idea is substitute a Council, which, if properly constituted, must be more competent to control or advise than one man, however experienced,
can be.

The Council must, of course, to some extent
be responsible to the country when their advice
adopted by Parliament.
There was no personal antipathy in this. The Germans simply asked themselves who were Trading to the race. They found the French ahead in the arts of war, the English in the arts of peace. They pot themselves quietly and resolutely into training, in order that they might beat the French in the field. They did so, with a thoroughness which has surprised the world. No sooner had the smoke of the battlefield cleared away than they set themselves dellberately and as resolutely to challenge their lodustrial supremacy of Great Britain. In the figures which I have just quoted we see but the beginning of their success. They have already won their Forbach and Worth in the industrial campign, but they have a little notion of balting in their march as Von Malike had of slapping short of the walls of Paris, Fortunately the English Industry Is not in as desperate condition were the French legions on the eve of Sedar, but it will be well for us if we take measures in time, otherwise there may be a death Barry We Gambetta's levy en masse with the same duastrous rejut's.

CRUSADE AGAINST OPIUM DIVANS.
·
ARE THEY COMMON LODGING HOUERS ? At the Police Court yesterday, before Hou. Commander W. C. H. Hastlege, an important case respecting the status of opium divans was heard. The keeper of an aplam divan at 10, Cross Street was charged with keeping = ledging house without a Bcence. There were twelve other simliar summonses agalast keepers of oplum divans, all of which, are licensed by the Kwong Fook dross opium farmers, to whom the premises are let out by the Oplum Farmers.
Dr. Clark, Medical Officer of Health, appeared on behalf of the Sanitary Board, and Mr. Danny appeared for the dross oplum farmers.
Sanitary Inspector Cotton spoke lomsking two midnight viilis to 10, Cross Street, ens on the rith fast, and the other on the 15th inst. On the first occasion 46 men were sleeping in the house
and on the second occasion a men werd sleeping.
In answer to Mr. Denaya witness sald ho made two visits because the Ordinance contained the words "usually occupied by over ten men." In March last be summoned several keepers for a similar offence, but the summonses were dismissed.
By the Magistrate-When wliness took the Summonses out la March he paid only one visit..

Mr. Donny That is not the charge. The opium farmers are quite ready to take any sug- gestions from the Sanitary Board as to the management of these places. What they object to is these places being called common lodging hautes. It there is any overcrowding or any thing of that sort, or any regulation which the Stoliary Board wishes to enforce, the oplum farmers will do their best to see that, it is pro perly carried out. They do not want to be farcet to register as a common lodging house, and that is the only offence with which they are charged,
Dr. Clark-In reply, I say that of course we have taken out a summens for keeping thest places without a ilcense, but we do not with ifcences to be taken out for oplum divans ; wo wish them to be used solely for the sale of splum and not as sleeping places for coolles. The Sanitary Board considered this question some time ago and they decided they would not lane any regulations for oplam divans, but would bring them within the Ordinances and by-laws of the colony, and for that reason we `have taken out these summonses,

Mr. Inchbald upon being called asked to be excused owing to great crisis in banking affairs. He said there had been a fall of penny in ake last few days, bat he had not been able to `Issue his instructions for the day, and that it was of vital importance that he should attend to bls work to-day.
