railway situa tion is improved y a rumor is current at the capital which sajs it is believed that at the tertmua- tiouol the present parliament sir john macdonajd will go over to england and as a member of the privy council wilt be ap pointed to the judicial committee of that body and will be given a life peerage in the recognition of his extraordinary services to canada and the empire in connection with the completion of the pacific railway the rum fiend ha again exhibited his hatefulness in setting fire to the premises of a faithful functionary at smiths falls who did his dnty in connection with the scott act nek only are tho officials out buildings burned down which the rascals intended but his life is in peril which we shall hope they did not intend there should be no rest till these rebels against the law and possible murderers are dis covered and get exemplary punishment witiiet as evidence of the interest which is now being taken in canada by the press of england and continental europe it may be mentioned that renters telegram com pany which has its agents all over tne world studying the various countries has for tho last three months had one of its chief men studying and examining canada with a view of securing thorough familiarity with canadian matters at the chief offices in london he left last week for the mari timeprovinces mr george johnson the resident canadian agent for renter has been requested to visit manitoba the northwest and british columbia with the same end m view the voice an excellent temperance paper from new york reports a well- known liquor man saying to a prohibi tionist i not think being engaged ni the liquor business is bo terrible as you men do because i have alwaysj been engag ed in it bat 1 will saj franklj i do cot like it it is disagreeable business and unless we can be placed under an equitable excise law 1 am ready to fight for prohibi tion j want to say to you also that i re spect the position that you assume toward this business i do not respect these men who pretend to think our business so terri ble and vet who favor licensing and pro tecting it we wish all temperance friends had reached the opinion of this dealer in alcohol of the total number of schools 5jd75 established in ontario 5316 were open during the year the day of log school houses has gone by and their place is fast being taken by the more substantial and better equipped frame and brick buildings in 1850 there were only 99 brick school houses in the province now there are 1879- thirtysix years ago there were 1466 log school houses now the number has been reduced to 631 nearly every bchoorin the province is now furnished with a certain number of wall maps the total number now in use exceeding 40000 in 1850 the total number of maps in use in pnblic schools was but 1814 nothing could more strikingly exemplify the re markable educational progress of the pro vince the milton sun still raves about the oakville harbor grant the hun says the fbee pctss further states that it has facts in its possession to prove the falsity of our statement that mr mccraney even refused to accompany iheuowrr delegation to interview the minister we invite the fbee pbess to produce its facts for in this matter we will not be content with its un- supportedassertions just so friend shh and the unsupported assertions of the milton sun just as rarely suffice to content its readers that they are the truth in the matter at issue as those of any journal we know of and as the surl was the first to make statements in this affair we will wait for it to furnish j roofs concerning the truth of its statement thst the member for hal- ton refused to accompany tile oakville delegation to interview the minister then and not until then we will give to the publio good and reliable evidence that mr mccraney did not refuse to accompany the delegation produce your proofs friend sun or- else admit that your political point was taken just a little too strongly fh criticism of the actions or words of a justice be he high or humble in office m the discharge of his official duties is never desirable but when such an officer over steps the functions of his office and goes out of bis way to unjustly attack another officer because he held opinions different from his own we think criticism is quite justifiable in his final address at the tarial of thomas sanderson for interfering witha constable in the discharge of his duty at milton the other day the county judge according to milton papers made it an occasion to incorporate in his remarks s severe attack upon police magistrate young for his mannercf proceedure in the case against mrs sanderson for violation of the scott acc that the judges lecture was entirely uncalled for is proven by the fact that the proceedings of the police magistrates court were held by a judge occupying a much superior position to be quite regular and the conviction of mrs sanderson fully sustained the publio will be very apt to conclude that some offi cials claiming alrigjier position than police magistrate young could with profit to themselves and the community learn a hwon from turn on criminal law and scotlr afa aloroemeot i have received tho follow ing verbose letter from tfr w e smith doubtless in answer to enquirer comment ia superfluous mil 1 nucs- dear sir i notice that enquirer appeals to you for information respecting ny proposition to water the streets 1 1 dmire your advice to euqiur- er and con aider your advice to him to ex- ercise pati mce sensible patience is a virtue au3 had enquirer exercised a tithes of the degree of that virtue which ho should pose ass he would have learned that my exertioi s to complete arrangements for watering th e streets have been unremitting i desire to o into the business intelligently and am enc eavoring to have arrangements definitely e footed to secure the necessary appurtenau es so that i can give satisfac tory answeis to all questions made hyp men like knqu rer so anxious for information the project is likely to go on and enquir er will probably have an opportunity within a fe r daj s to give a practical ex ample of hi 3 interest in the matter yours ac w e jmith ft is gr itifying to know that mr 8 is uot like the irishman who took a contract to water a f arden for a rt quarter and then sat
