As an item of good news we might incidentally refei to tLe fact that Holmes, the murderer, was suddenlj' removed at the end of a Philadelpiii i rope last week. Let us now forget that such 9 monster was ever boin into this world. The SLelbuvna Economist editor gravely explains fur our benefit that he is not the author •oi* tuc ' ' M. I. Cawbcr " pot-pouri now running in that popcr. Well, great smoke ! The EconomiRt man must have a niiglity poor opinion of our literary discrimina- tion. Why, Mr. Cawber's articks arc quite readable. As a sample of campaign ex- aggeration, we mij^ht refer to the â- tatement which was telegraphed broadcast oyer Ontario last week to the effect that Sir Charles Tiipperhad received an exceedingly eutliusmstic rcoeptio'.! at VVinnipeg and that 5000 i people formed a procession in his hoior. Tlie fact of the matter is tliat S'r Charles received a very coul re- ception and that the procession was I made up of something under fifty people â€" one despatch says there wert'| not half a dozen iu it. He was greet- j cd at the meeting witli a mixture of I cheers and groans and hisses. iVhcu | Mr. Macdonald mentioued " National ichools" lie was cheered, butwhen lie i proHOUiiced himself in favur of the j government's position on coercion | there wert groans.

One evening lately three aatives of America, Germany, and Scotland, respectively, foregathered at dinner in a hotel. After thoy had done justice to the taity viands that lay ou the table, they be^ian to wash thera down with the liquids, bo to say, and, durini{theproces3, to wax eloquent, each over hia own country. Said the Yankee, who, with characteristic smartness, was the first to brag : " Here's to the land of wonder, the sun of the world." TheGerman, not to be outdone, next rose and proposed, "To the Vaterland, the monn of the world.'' The canny Scot, pausing for a little to think what toast could wipe out the other two, at last got up and said : " To Britain, the Joshua who comtniiid- ed the sun and moon to stand stilh"-Ex. CHAMPION STALLION Of The Dominion The Prohihition questions suhmitlo to the judicial committcn of tin Imperial I'rivy Council have huuiil answered at last, and accordii''^' t( cablegram the decisions arc clear ai uiud mixed with printer's ink. It will probably require a cathode ray to dis- cover what is actually in them. Ill however appears to be conceded that] the provinces cannotpass a proliihilmyi law. It cau prohibit the iiiaiml'.iu-l turo but not the sale of iiitoKi'.:atiiig| liquors within the province. It cai] pass local option laws where riicIiI laws would not conflict witli thel Canada Teiupenince Act. Tlii.^ to ua appears to be a heavy blow to tlut cause of piohibilimi, as the fieUI in lioadeucd to Buch an extent that it will be practically impossiblo to covit it for many years to coiuo.' In this icspcct, if the above announced decis- ions prove correct, wo are away be- hind the United Stales, where •aoh Htate lioldn such matters iu itp own hands.
