      Apropos of the French Atlantic Cable , the public were startled the other day by the following scientific announcement : " The insulation is perfect , and a negative current is produced from twenty cells . " This is not wisely , if correctly worded . Bearing in mind that the breaking of the first Atlantic Cable was litei-ally a sell that set in such a decidedly negative current that no one would touch the shares at any price , it would be as well to explain more clearly the meaning of the rather unhappily chosen terms .

      No language can be strong enough to condemn the Government for their conduct with regard to the Overend and Gurney prosecution . Their deliberate and insolent refusal to take any steps in this matter has proved that they are utterly incompetent and unwilling to deal with the great social abuses of this age . It may be said that this is not the business of a Government ; but we think differently , and we have no hesitation in saying that the whole conduct of the present Government has disgusted all men whose liberality is not a mere unreasoning slavery to party leaders , or a bid for office which has been accepted , or may hope to be so .

Can anything be more false ? The very hardship of the case is that , without the knowledge of the shareholders , the respectable business of the old firm was converted into speculative , illegitimate , bill-discounting by the new company . They traded on the well-known , respected name of the old have firm , had and anything so deceived to do undreds with the company wide , who had would they known never the kind of business they were carrying on . There could be no greater blow against rash speculation than for the Government to carry on this prosecution with the utmost rigour j it
