I am selling good watches at so rea- sonable a price that itis folly to take chancess with a poor one. Speaking of buy- inga watch, the name W. W.

(St. Jobo Te! grap! J The decline of France, both in a moral and a material sense, is too evident to be ignored. The great nation which during ; the eighteenth century was the leading

power iu Europe has reached a position

when it is larg:ly livieg ou the past, and | has b come sbors of a large part of ite |former importance A little more than a | a — y lorinls } Great io |e utury ago Frederick the Great de

that if ne were king of Frauce not a can- ' non should be fired in Barope without his

permission, and luis -tatement fairly ex

pres-ed the position of that pation at the time 10 was made. Now France has less influence on the poliucs of Europe than any other of the great powers, with the possible exception of Italy. The principal reason for this change in the position of France is un- doubtedly the failure of her population to increase as fast as Oiher nations. In the beginning of the century the population of France was 38,000,000, while that of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireiand was but 16,000,000. Now the United Kingdom has a popula ion of 40,- 000,000, while the population of France does not exceed 33,560,000. Moreover, Great Britain has about 10,000,060 of her sons inthe colonies, while the French colon‘a! population does not reach one- twentieth of that figure. This deciine of population is a fatal weaknese, which seems to be wholly incurable. Another great evil frem which France suffers is the condition of her finances. The debt of France is stupendous and amounts to about $6,500,090,000. This ia more than double the national debt ot the United Kingdom, and the interest upon it alone amounts to $170.000,0@0@ a year. This debt is steadily increasing, and the French people talk very glibly about going to war. It is evident that a war of avy magnitude ' would drive the country into bankruptcy. The burden of taxation on the French people is more than they can bear, for the expenditures of the country requires them to raise a revenue of $680,000,0000 a year. The meaning ot this will be better understood when it ie stated that if the expenditure of Canada was on the same proportionate scale we would require to raise a revenue of about $90,000,000 a year instead of less than $40,000,000

With a stagnant population and an enor. mous debt it might be supposed that it would be the aim of the man who govern France to avoid all unneces- Sary expenditures, and to conserve the en2rgies and revources of the nation. Unfortunately the government of France Las fallen into the hands of men who seek to conceal’their lack of ststesmanship by

Thinking, to Madagascar, to the Niger and to the Nile, and terri tory seized Which France cannot utilize, and which merely addsto the financial burthens of the nation. Yet to acquire such costly and useless possessions France, on more than one occasion, bas risked a wer with Great Britain, and is even now apparently seeking to bring about a crisis which will lead to rupture. France bas now become the obdient servant of Russia, @nation with which she has nothing in commen, and her future is very dark. The Freach people seem to have lust their an- cient spirit, and no man can say what the end will be.

Cartain Younghusband, who acted re- cently as the correspondent of the Times in the Transvaal, has published through Messrs. Macmillan, the result of bis studies of the South African question, in book form. Captain Younghusband is impartial and fair-minded in his criticitm of the Boers. He puts forward their point ot view, and ind:catesthe diffizuities and the inevitable temptations of the Boer position. For a military race to be auto- cratic, for an unintellectual race to be sluggigh of ments! apprehersion for an in- experienced people new to existence as a nation to be iguorant of and ind fferent to many ot the principles upon which the justice of nations has beea founded, are shown a8 resuits so natura: as scarcely to be reseated; but ne does not allow sym- pathy to blind him to the fact that no other poeple who, within the last fifcy yearé, have made new settlements on u”- occupied lands could dream of claiming with impunity the exclusive rights anu the immovable form of government on which a bandful of the population base their pretensions to be regarded, for all time, as the sole rulers of the ‘I ravsvaal. Such a claim oa the part of any other community uf equal age would long ago have been exploued in ridicule.

James Webb, an industrious med cal student in Toronto, threw half a human skull into an ash barrel—to the horror of the scavenger. For this Webb appeared in the police court for “indignity toa human body.” The penalty for this is five years imprisonment, but Webb was let off on suspended sentence on accourt of his studious eharacter,to which no suspicion of praukishness attached. = It appears that skul’s must not be treated with coutumely unless it is ou oue’s own shoulders. ;

LONG TERMS OF OFFICE,

Sin,—The practice of eiecting Mayor and Uouncillors term after term, as if they had a life lease of the positions, is meet- ing with general disapproval. The unani- mous and vocifierous “*No,” when one of the old Councillors was proposed at last night’s ward five meeting, might be con- sidered as # protest against this as much as against boodling and mal-administra- tion. Our banking institutions managed by the keenest of business men purpose y change their branch managers at intervais. So with our City Councillors. An improves ment would be eff-cted by electing new meo to overhaul the accovnts and transactions and to improve on the methods of the old. The Councillors, or Mavor either, who are pot satisfied with a six or eight years term should be voted home.

Otjection can also be strongly urged against placing an inexperienced and uutried hand in the Mayor’s chair. The honors of the Mayoralty should be giren to those who have served at least one term in the City Counci! to qualify them for the higher position. More than this, they have given their services to the city without remuneration as Ceuncillore, and as such have a prior claim to honors and emolument. If new blood is to be tried, let the contest be amongst those who have won theirspurs and are trained to their duties.
