A Capetown correspondent report* that an Australian has been arrested there on a charge of inciting a mob of hooligans to steal. Nearly time our patriotic criminals retaliated bycalling themselves S'africans. Our police court records show that Australians, m comparison with other countrymen, are the most law-abiding people m the State. -Sydney "Truth."

The scenes over the wreck oi tht Italian emigrant ship Sirio, off the coast of Spain, make it hard to believe, as many would like to do, that the man m one country is precisely the same as the man m There are nations, the names of which need not he given, which, if the Sirio had been manned from them, such au exhibition of callousness and cruelty as that just witnessed could trot have taken place.

The fate of the Sirio shows that as :sc«men they are too skunkified to l>e trusted m any emergency, and that the person who voluntarily srives His life into their keeping— in the way of patronisina; one of; their boats .^hon a boat manned by the s.a'.lors of aiiy other nation^ is available— d«scr« yes to lose it.
