On a late ocoaaion, and while apeahing oi the liahery treaty, he is reported to have said: One thing in certain. the people of our American oulonice have the grenteat intereat in maintaining the cloaeet and moat friendly relationa with their great neighbour con- eietent with that political independence which they deaire to preeerve. and which. ae far aai know, the people of the United Htatea have no deeire to dieturb, and if the new government of the United Staten ahonld eee their way to any extension of commercial interueuree with Canada and alao with Newionndland. then I am quite certain that thin iiahery queetion will become a matter oi comparative in- eigniiioanoe and oi very eaay -arrangement." Evidently Mr. Chamberlain ie not disturbed by the alarming talk in which eome people indulge. And eurely no one will acoueo him of cnnapiring with the enemy. of dialoyalty, oi wlilingneee to aee Canada eold out to the Yanheee. Our Joeeph la not aiiiioted with the nightmare. The transactions of Mr. M. llohillar-l, M.P. l'.. with the dominion government \\ ill aund looking into. He purchased the pine timber on In Indian reserve in I886 for 8316 Anal within I week sold it to Klock llrus. for 8.30.000. Now the government prncticully gave Mr. Robillnnl the pine timber, and the question arises, Who: for? Political nar- uervico? Anti Riel agitation in the loctl leginlaturo ? Hu every man hin policy and his price? It looh'li|io it. At may rate the end has not been heard of this Robillard matter. 1 he (lananuque people favour the deepen- ing-nf the Ri-loau camal,on thegrnund that the water supply of the village for manufactur- ing purposes. would be increased by the scheme. The Journal hopes for more. that an outlet of the canal will be made at (lun- mmque, and that the government will make an appropriation for the work. The l\`.idoau canal can. of course, be improved, but, un- less at an enormous outlay. it cannot be mule to accommodate the shipping of the St. Lawrence. and that in the strong argu ment in favour of the scheme.

Those mum bera of the gnvcrmnent who have been pus- iug as labor champions will now have a chance to give evidence of the faith that is in them. The motion of the Hnldiinunxl conserva- tives, preceding the decision to `protest. the election read as follows : That it was the duty of the party to do this, and thus vimlicnte the honour of the country."

The outcome of the work of the mining commission. it seems from the lieutenant- governor s address, is to the establish- ment of a school of mines in` Toronto. The interests of the provincial nietropolis in the mineral resources of the province lie alto- gether in the exploitation of the mineral wealth of the Algoma district. The specu- lation of the boomsterswhose work it is to buy and` sell in the current of asirs has led Torontonians in large numbers to buy silver and copper lodes on the map. Provincial education is to be centralized so that this class will have the largest share of benet, while In Eastern Ontario the immense min- eral resources requiring developnL0n_t,,_\.lil_L be kept in the background simply by the prominence given to the interests of the western section of the country. It is doubt- ful if the members of the government, such is the popular ignorance". lenow anything of the curriculum of a mining sehool and the methods of promdling a knowledge of the mineral resources of a country beyond -what the report may set before them.- They might at least have `the good sense to re- cognize the fact that our mineral territory in the Ottawa valley requires to be prnc ticully studied on the ground, and that it is necessary a school of mines shall be i:;;.`.te-.l in Kingston if so important an educational work as this study shall have the aid of practical exposition. What with the labours of the geological survey. ex- pended on the vast North-\\'est Territories, and the work of the mining school cen- `trali'I.e'l.upon the elds that belong to'l'o- ronto capitalists, science will give our in- terests here only asquinteyed glance and the help Ufa cold shoulder, unless the peo- ple let the government know that this policy of centralization may do very well for making Toronto the head centre of knowledge about the heathen gods, but when-itcomes to (lcvlslllg measures for mak- ing science the handmnixl of practical art the minister of education requires instruc- tion upon the point where this work may be most thoron-tghly done.
