Mr. Maclean must be gratified with the stir he is making in railway cir- cles. Sometimes people laugh at his exploits, but he is all the while in tion, and he is putting a lot of others in motion at the same time. The Maclean bill, to force the Grand Trunk to carry passenger at two cents per mile, is the result of a suit which had its origin in Toronto, and which brought - the general manager into play, on the defensive, somewhat uni pectedly. Granted that conditions have been changed since the Grand Trunk obtained its charter the fact remains that the act was not amend- ed and that there is no legislative sanction for the abolition of the third class coach and the low fare which it urovided. Application is now being made for the change in charter, and it is this bill which, in conjunction with Maclean's, will give Canada's greatest radical a chance to make people uncomfortable. (Then there is the Maclean bill which 10 iroposcs to legalize ticket scalping. |foot-sore and weary when Ye struck it and marched ignominiously away it was made illegal some years ago, because through it some very inno- cent persons wer imposed upon. The 'ear of trouble 'mow has suggested wtion that should have been taken long since by the railway companies. Now auy unused ticket can be redeem- at' the local station, and the temp- tation to dispose of it, to the scalp- rs, is done away with. : While parliament considers these pro- nositions there is a flurry among the wilway officials. There are a score of them in Ottawa, all high function- wies,~ all skilled in the arts and tick of the lobby. - At the bottom of all these things is Maclean, the un: terrified. He is busy and it is wonder- ful what a commotion he makes, ' Word Of Serious Warning. Byron E. Walker, for many years he general manager of the Bank of | Jommerce, now its president (having | been recently elected the successor of | 3enator Cox), made a g |» bis annual' report to the bank, | vhich should be pondered by business f men. Mr. Walker is regarded as one review, of the best posted men in Canada. His 'port, so full and comprehensive, shows that he has been Pains-taking » his collection of facts, and that he 108 given them the most serious con- sdderation, Right at the beginning of Ais address he says : "While we are enjoying an extraos- dinary prosperity, there are signs about us of a strain which must bring trouble if they are disregarded. We are a borrowin, country, and we cannot be reminded of this too often. As we fix capital in mew structures, public or private, railways, buildings, ete, some one must find the capital in pxcess of what we can ourselves pro- 'vide out of the salable products of our labor. © number of countries will- ing to buy our securities has been steadily increasing, but wo must not be blind, as we sometimes seem to be, to the fact that our power to build ds largely on whether these coun- have surplus capital to invest. ly means of the cable the trading pation of tha world have be bir t wv near together, and while many local panics have thus been averted, and the adjustment of cap- ital to the world's nceds, has been greatly improved, still for the same reason world-wide trouble in the markets sometimes arises with a sud- which is alarming to those at least who are not watching for the si ough such a per- i i i | H 3 2 gE sigriif £I5s : are "plunging" (the pro- per word), in busindgs, as if there were to. be no end to the prosperity now abounds. Financiers of clearer vision know, however, that the time follows the fat time as cer- tainly as 'the seasons follow, cach oth- er, Mr. Walker says the signs are not wanting of a change at hand. Mark the phrasselogy, and be govern- accordingly, Editorial Notes. If any man cannot qualify as 'a sena- seat. No The Mail says Sir Wilirid Laurier "advised" Senmiors Gilmour and Costi- gen to effect a fictitious qualification. Where is the evidence of this? The Mail can sometimes ' be very absurd. The school "canteen"--the provision of the London school board for the benefit of poor and underfed children-- is pronounced a great success. This is a species of socialism which the people can stand, Must Mr. Foster pack his carpet bag again and tramp the country in search of a seat? North Toronto is said to be tired of him, and he was some time ago. -- Mr, Walker, président of the Bank Commerce, warns the people to prepare for a change in the times. And his is the advice that should be taken. He is not giving tips for gambling or stock-broking purposes. Dr. Beattie Nesbitt is credited with political ambitions which will carry him:out of the registry office into North Toronto in the next federad election. The present member is Mr. Foster, and his days appear to be numbered, The Whitney government has prom- ised to consider the claims of the School of Mines to larger financial aid. It had best remember that this school is not local in its work and influence, and that Eastern Ontario is interested in its success, 'The Canadian Courier pooh-poohs the idea of Sir Wilirid Laurier's re- ti it; The premier's health was never better, and he is not anxio to retire and rest when the coun needs his service and he is able and willing to advance its interests, The visit of Mr. Melnnes, to Otta- wa, when he resigned the commission- ership of the Yukon is mow apparent.

Constantinople, Jan. 21.--Two sol- diers of the Yildiz Guards, in a mad freak, at noon, to-day, held, for two hours, the Karakeny bridge, which spans the Golden Horn, joining Galata and Stamboul. They drew their sword bayonets, slashed indiscriminately at all who at- tempted to pass, and in a few min- utes had cleared the bridge. Word spread that a massacre had been planned. Shops were instantly closed, and people hurried to places of safety. * A thousand troops were called out, and advanced to: each end of the bridge. , But they could do nothing without orders from the saltan, as the two men belonged to the Royal Guard. So they waited until his a: jesty sent word that they 'were to be taken alive, The terraces and windows of all buildings in. the vieinity were crowded with spectators, who watched the two men march, from one end of the bridge to the other, brandishing their 'sword bayonets with an air of ferocious de- Unloads the Liver, Opens the Bowels, Rel APEN The Safest and Most Reliable HOUSEHOLD APERIENT WATER.

When the wishes were own, an officer advanced, and grave- ly called on the two men to surrender, but, meeting with a refusal, he had to retire.
