Will the time come when the city reople will see the advantage of farm- ing, and seek it as an occupation, a means of livelihood and of making money ? One writer, Roy E. Downer, in 'the Booklovers' Magazine, thinks so, He save the city man, trained to mental and physical activity, will dis cover that the farm offers advantages peculiarly its own, and he will move upon it and make its work a success. Nr. Downer has the conviction that the city: man will do more than the gyverace farmer, because he his been trained. to hustle and will put into his. operations a greater spirit and en- ergy. As against that, however, there is the lack of experience which counts for a great deal. The farmer who makes the most of his opportunities is the man who knows something of the chemistry of the soil, the value of t life, of the seasons in which it is best to till and sow and reap. The city man may be full of energy; '| and' willing to employ it in! useful ways, but he bas to kndw his busi: ness in order to make it progressive, ming is a business and the man who makes the most of it has grown up in it, has studied it for years, is familiar with the latest methods, is a student and experimentalist of long standing. Under the circumstances the day is fot dawning when the smart city chap will bo able to walk into the country and take the shine out of the farmer by the skill of his hand and swiftness of his action. i "Theoedtically one may be very learn- ed and not do on the farm. It is practice that tells, and practice that accompanies devotion to toil. MN ELECTION ISSUE. Whether intentionally or otherwise, whether by arrangement or by his own motion, Mr. Chamberlain has committed the imperial government to his plan of campaign for the next election. "I do mot think that a general elec. tion is very near," he is reported to have said in his Birmingham ad; dress. "But whether it is 'near or dis- tant I think our epponents will per- haps find that the issues which they propose to raise gre not the issues on which we shall take the opinion of the country. If we raise an issue of this petty personal considerations, not upon Letty personal considerations, not up- temporary interests, but upop wheth- er the people of this country really have it in their hearts to do all that ik necessary, even though it occasion: 'ally goes against their own prejudic- 8, to consolidate an empire which can only be maintained by relations ol interests, as well as by relations of rentiment."" ~The statement is the more remark: able in view of the position which Mr. Balfour took about the same time, and Yo the effect that desirable as it wal there wag notin sight any move, political of constitutional or fiseal, for [diawing the mother country and the colonies into closer relations.

The situation at the present time has been rendered most acute by the that has occurred in is not made known, but it seems that the friction between members of the been most unpleasant. The climax followed the scandal over the C.P.R. grants, regarding which an investiga- tion had been in progress with mark- when the premier demanded the re signation of Messrs. Eberts and Wells, and Mr. Mclnnis, who was willing to help the premier through with his supplies, desired to abandon his of fice. A stormy scene took place in the house--one in which strong and unparliamentary language was used-- and the government was defeated on a motion to adjourn. Col. Prior an- nounced that dissolution would ensue. Immediately afterwards the special committees reported on the land ques- tion and justified the action of the legislature in, some time previously, summarily cancelling the grants to the Colambia and Western railway, which blocks of land should not have been voted to the railway; that the origin- al appropriation as a subsidy was sutlicient to satisfy the demands of the railway company that the govern. ment's information in regard to the subject, on a former occasion, was Jaulty and deficient; and that the C. EP. R. had no ground for complaint in She rescinding order, which Was _pass- ed in the public interest. The repori Welly, for allowing the C.P.R. un- due influence on the government." An election following so close upon this séandal, will make sad havoc among the people who are affected by it. The special committee's document will be rare campaign literature, and it will arouse the people against a 'condition that has been growing, in and around all 'the parliaments of Canada, and made intense by the ac- tion of the railway men. The i dent of the C.P.R, may contend that his road earned the grants which the legislature cancelled, but the com: mittee's 'side of the case will be the popular one, that the company got all 'the aid it deserves, and that 'the railway influence has been comproniis- ing to the government.

The London News refuses to believe that J. D. Rockefeller, Jr., asks God's advice about everything he does. But the News is not acting in a parlia- mentary way, It must aécept the statement of Mr. Rockefeller, what ever doubts it may entertain. The commissioner of public works, Me. Latehford, gives a denial to the riunor that the Temiskaming railway is about to be leased to the G. T. R. It may be leased eventually, but with the condition that it answers the pur- pose for which it is being built.
