JAR RICHMOND 0 C0. _jj _-.:__ SCHOOL STA TISTICS. 3;!` A day or two since we were surprised to see an article in the [Vail imputimz very great inaccuracy, to sny'--the least of it, to the department of education. It now turns out that the statistics upon which the 1l(ail`_ relied related to a totally different condition of things to that which it supposed, the years for school age having been extended from 5-16 to 5-2l. We are glad to see that the Mail makes the amende honorable and withdraw: such portions of the article as re- flected upon the department of education and Sir Richard Cartwright. It is still ad- visable to call the Mail's attention, however, to the fact that in all his computations Sir Richard Cartwright has assumed that there has been a moderate increase in the popula- tion since 188], being, as will appear from quotations from his speeches, at the rate of 60,000 per annum. It is not worth while entering upon an elaborate discussion of the subject for the moment, especially as it is likely tliht further evidence in connection with the matter will be procurable when parliament meets. Then it may be found that Sir Richard has not underestimated the real increase in the population. It may be added, as suicient for the present-and that the Mail may not mistake his position again-that Sir Richard has never spoken of school statistics as alnolntely accurate, but simply as indicating that there are strong grounds for questioning the asser- tions ot ministcrialists that the exodus on the part of Ontarlo|has diminished since the return of Sir John Macdonald to power. ummm [Eb ids.

C. Dent, the nevrknown his torian), regards the rumoured retirement of Mr. Blake from the leadership of the liberul party, and the election to the position of Mr. Mowat. as chestnuts of the most pro- nounced type," and it says that until it receives qome authentic conrmation they must be treated as mere ying rumours which it would be out of place to hpcnd much time in considering." 'lhe best evi- dence thnt there is nothing of truth in the rumours is supplied by the announcement that Messrs. Blake and Mowat are not post- ed about the alleged deal. " The Montreal Gazette endorses the pro- posal of Mr. Creighton, the tory member for North Grey, that the salaries of all federal government employees should be sub- ject to taxation by municipal authorities. The contention is based on reason and com- mon sense. It has never been satisfactorily proven that civil servants should enjoy all the privileges of other citizens and not have to pay for civic iinprovements and civic go- vernment. The origin of -their incomes is a matter of no consequence. Perhaps a tory agitation will induce a tory government to change the law. POINTS FRO/M` THE l:RESS. The Ottawa C'its'zen has a. severe attack of Blakeism, and the visit of the opposition len.der s brother to the capital on law busi- ness induces it to recall the fact that he was there during the election, and that, with Mr. David, Montreal, he addressed a public meeting and predicted a liberal victory. Mr. Blake is paid tohave desired the execu- tion (politicelly) of SirJohn Mncdonald, and Mr. David rcvelled in the ecstacy of in. deecriheble delight," i. e. , double -barrel led or loaded up the other way.
