Baliour progperity always gives to the party in power. The | meeting of the Association of British Chambers of Commerce was marked by a spirit of congratulation among the members over the condition of trade. It was described by Lord Avebury as being “absolutely satisfactory.” Having thus a good showing for pri- vate business as well as for the imperial revenues, it is hardly likely the comservative classes will vote for a change. - The friends of justice to Ireland can, of ourse, be expected to sustain the Ministry so long 1as it promises a just measure of reform in the govern- ment of that country. Taken altogether, then, the situation is chéering to the Ministers, and we can well understand how Mr. Ritchie, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, spoke with cloquenee and was greeted with cheers when he began his speech by saying that whereas his predecessor had to ask an increase of tax- ation he purposed tn reduce it now discord: of r outbreak or of nger dustry.

THE VALUE OF TIMBER. F every acre of forest land in the country belonged I to the state there is no doubt that eventually the value of the timber, properly cared for by expert foresters, would nearly equal all other national wealth. If the private owners of forest land desire to endow their descendants and provide for their posterity, they cannot make a more certain provision than in planting more trees. The consumption of timber in all forms increases as the supply decreases. Timber | that was formerly thought to be worthless has become | valuable. The Indiana white wood, which was thought to be useless, unfit even for fuel, has become so val- uable for furniture that the people who logged and | burned forests of it to make farms are loud in la- | menting their folly. In destroying the pine and hard- | wood forests of Wisconsin the basswood was passed‘ by as having 1o value. Now the lumberman is going | back over his path in the forest, cutting and sawing the basswood, which is more valuable than the white pine It is difficult to pndmr Wood | was when it was lumbered that any kind of tree will be found useless. t ki continue to demand the product It ty years that is only within th the high value time the forests of that wood had been cut for cord- wood or made into rails or girdled and burned to clear land for the plow.

Upon that showing we straightway began with due pride and patriotism to exult and to boast. We chal- lenged the woyld to note not only the skill and the courage of our officers and men, but alsp the excel- lence of our machinery. It was indeed a record to be proud of, for it is-doubtful if any other navy in the world could have accomplished it. Such being the case, it is regrettable that we have not been able to maintain in times of peace.the splendid made in war. Only the other day we dis contempt the statement of a German critic that our | navy is not equal to our boasting, | disasters of the target practice to g ve at least a show- ing of confirmation to the criticism. Not a single ship or war vessel of our navy was in- jureg by accident during the whole period of war, but in the peaceful practice of target shooting accident follows accident with startling rapidity. Of the seven ships engaged in the practice off Pensacola, two—the Towa and the Maine—have been disabled by accidents. Another ship, the Massachusetts, underwent a like accident last January. Within a comparatively short time we have thus had disabled three battleships and lost a considerable number of lives by accidents of one kind or another. In some cases guns have burst, in others steam pipes have blown out, and last but not | least damage has been done by the weakness of the structure of the ship itself. Ample explanations are given for the accidents aiter they happen. It is said the bursting of the| and now come the !

The rush for land is due partly to the good crops obtained in recent seasons and partly to the ind which render manufacturing, unprofit- able.

The latest result is that a number of employers, deeming an award inimical to their interests, since it raised wages about two- | pence an hour per man, have, rather than comply, low, to tralia.” The situation is complicated by a question of union labor. The Prime Minister is reported to have re- cently promised to consider the issue of compuwisory preference to unionists, and employers are afraid they will be restricted in obtaining labor. A further grievance urged is that under the present system there is an obstacle in the way of apprenticing lads to learn a- trade. Finally it is stated: “A serious in- consistency has also been pointed out. The question- able method of examining the tradebooks has been used. In one case, though it was proved that owing to falling off in profits the employers were making Jess than journeymen’s wages, the award for in- creased wage was upheld. Against this, however, is the fact that in a recent coal mining dispute an in- crease of wages was not awarded because the books of the company showed that therc had not been suffi- cient profit to justify an increase.” Taken altogether the outlook for manulacmrers is not good, so that there is no occasion for surprise in the announcement that people with capital are import maNufactured furniture from Aus- | dismissed their me‘ and intend, while the market is American states the floor. | Zealand are to the effect | that the rural industries of the colony are en- | trial | who | hoped that the establishment of the prindple of com- | | pulsory arbitration would put an end to labor con- | In prac- | It is announced that something in the way m‘ several employers have been before | the court to answer charges of non-compliance with | by the time she is ready to go to | sea with her guns on board they have increasef in weight, power and energy beyond our expectations, Such explanations will be accepted ¥or what they are worth.
