PEAKER CANNON’S recent California fruit industry will statement that disastrous consequences to the !mpire’s future.” There is nothing eurprising in this alliance of American high protectionists with British imperialists in the fight against the pro- posed enlargement of commercial freedom. Special privilege is the same everywhere, and those who share in it, no matter under what flag, are neturel allies against every movement for the boc) good. In this case the opposition is foredoomed to failure. Ae the Prime Minister said: “Nothing can prevent the natural trend of events; the levelling of tariff walls between Canada and the United States is inevitable. pe A LUNATIC CURIOSITY. ECAUSE a rich girl was yesterday to marry a for- eigner with a title there was euch a flutter among thousands of people in this city that police precau- tions had to be taken to protect the happy couple from @ mob. The threatening letters sent to the bridegroom may be dismissed as harmless lunacies. Those that wish to kill do not give warning. But the lunacy of mad curiosity, the lunacy that prompts eo many women and not a few men to gather in great crowds that under the stress of a mere passing excitement may be- come @ mob is not harmless. It was not for nothing that the police authorities sent to this wedding a force that would have been for- midable enough to confront a rict. In fact a riot might have oc- curred. . And all for what? A fafrer sight than the street show of that wedding can be seen on the etreets any day. ro THE COST OF RATS. BRITISH atatistician estimates that rate in Eng- land consume or damage grain every year to a value of about $75,000,000, The natural conelu- sion is drawn that if the pesta were exterminated the people would save the expenditure of that amount for imports. As a consequence a strongly supported movement has been started for undertaking the wholesale destruction of rats throughout the British Ielands. The project is a good deal more useful than that of building dreadnoughts. If seriously undertaken on a large ecale the progress of the movement will be watched with, interest throughout civiliza- tion. One of the distinctive features of our era is the undertaking of efforts like this to get rid of pests that our ancestors submitted to almost without complaint. A kingdom without rats would be a novelty. It would virtually amount to the abolition of a tax on food. ieee 6G SEES hy TAX-PAYING MADE EASY. OMPTROLLER PRENDERGAST submitted to the City Club many arguments for a system of tex payments twice a year, but the most effective was drawn from the fect that the plan has been tried both in this country and in Europe and hae in- variably been found beneficial. The Comptroller estimates that under the proposed method “we would have fifty per cent. less of delinquencies in tax payments than we do under the present system.” Such @ saving would, of course, more than repay all the trouble required to make the change. Moreover, it has been generally found that the people prefer the system because it is easier to pay taxes in two installments than in one. y The proposed change {s neither a vagary nor a novelty, but a well tested and approved reform in fiscal economy. It h pa found good in other cities and would prove good here, : Letters From the People ‘The Tipping System. the perish if Canadian fruit be admitted on equal terms to our market has found a fitting echo from London in Mr. Bal- four’s statement that if Cannda deprives Great Britain of preferential trade there will be “most ‘To the Bitter of The Evening Wor!
