And, as usual with them, it will be at least a straight one. . 4 ------------------ Time has shown that Rev.

The election in Ontario last week made that fact very plain. It is & desson the Union- ist Government at Ottawa should take to heart.

The labor {unions have seized the opportunity | to improve the condition of the work- ling men and women, and still greater { reforms are looming above the horizon. The dndustrial unrest has | tor the time being crippled business, {but out of the turmoil much good {will undoubtedly come. In discuss- | ing the present state of affairs, Bare- {lay's. Bank, a leading financial in- stitution of London, makes the fol- lowing confession: "There is some ground for this serious indictment of our past na- {tional policy. We have to admit that | very large numbers of our population { have worked hard and for long hours tand yet under conditions which were |a disgrace to a great nation--this {while we were annually investing 1$1,000,000,000 of so-called 'surplus | profits' abroad. We have also to {admit that at a time when our coun- try was the greatest and wealthiest in the world, <onditions of abject poverty obtained to a greater ex- tent than in many small and com- paratively poor countries." British fabor was admittedly very much underpaid before the war. The hours were long, and the conditions under which the masses of the Peo- ple lived were far from satisfactory. A new Britain is arising. Labor has experienced some of the hetter things of life, and it will never consent to go back to the old conditions. A system that tends to reliéve misery and poverty, that advageces the standard of life for the middle classes, is a system that in the end must redound to the lasting benefit of the nation. LABOR AND THE FARMERS. The suggestion has been made that the United Farmers should coalesce with the Labor members and thus command enough votes in the Legislature to carry on a gov- ernment. ' Can the Hon and the lamb lie down together ? What affinity is there between the farmer and the laborer that one should hope to see any such rapprochement ? Could they agree, for instance, upon the question of the hours of labor, a matter that is now being widely discussed ? The Labor party might insist upon the farmer limiting his workday to eight or even six hours in order that there might be enough work to go around. The United Farmers would probably be inclined to demand that the city worker should toil just as long as he himself does, which might be twelve or even fifteen hours a day. The Labor party would want to reduce the price of food. The far- mer would want to keep food prices up. Many other contentious subjects could be suggested, but these will suffice to show how far apart are the two parties. Either one or the other must sacrifice their policy and their principles if an amalgamation takes place. Such a contingency is very unlikely. On the other hand, there is very litte at variance between the United platforme are practicaily the same. Both are prepared to trust the peo- what public opinion demands, in- moral reforms, non-partisan ejection laws, agriculture, patronage, pro- portional representation, ete. their po lead 'would be nutural, therefors, to ex- pect that these two parties might Farmers and the Liberals.

Sir Adam Beck has rendered an im- portant service to the Province, The value of that service should not be] | forgotten, andit is not likely to be forgotten, and it is not Hkely to be! important public service cannot be accepted as an excuse for that even the exercise of autocracy. Justifies Female Suffrage. {Guelph Mercury.) All over the country, the women were solid for prohibition. That's just what was expected, and as it should be, for they were invariably the chief sufferers through lack of it in the old days. the accomplishment of this one thing fully justifies franchise. Back to Two Parties. (Toronto Star.) But a return to Its convenience the two-party is obvious. group system might be worked under | the constitution of the United States, | where the President of the United! States and his Cabinet have no seats] in Congress, and cannot be made to] resign by a hostile vote, représenta-| tives or in both. Such situations have actually existed. But under our system the relation of the Ministry. to the Legislature is so close as wo make it exceedingly difficult for gov- ernment t6 be carried on without an assurance of steady support, which can only be given wher one party or group has a working majority, Canada-East and West Dominion Happenings of Other Days, First Train To Toronto. On October 27, 1856, the first Grand Trunk Railway train to operate on the Toronto-Montreal line of that Com- pany made its initial trip. Toronto and Montreal had been dependent for their communication upon the river and lakes; naturally during the win- ter season there was much interrup- tion. When the Grand Trunk was in- corporatéd at once a line was started between, Montreal and Brockville. A year later it was continued from Brockville to Toronto so that on Oct. 27, 1856, all was in readiness for the first express. ' The first train over the route was the forerunner of the International Limited. It made the run, now re- quiring about seven hours and a falf, in fourteen hours. The train 'con- sisted of three first and th nd class coaches. When the express from Toronto, ar- rived at Montreal there was a great celebration. = There were military parades, trade and society proces- sions, fireworks and dancing. The Governor General of Canada was pre- sent while the mayors of Portland, Chicago, Cleveland and Boston had representatives at the ceremonies. The Point St. Charles shops were turned into a great banqueting hall where 4,400 guests enjoyed the rail- way dinner. es were made by the Governor eral, the Governor of the State of Maine and others. The table cloth for the occasion was a mile long. One of the events in con- nection' with the Shening was a visit to the Victoria Bri en in pro- cess of fonstruction. Two abutments and nine piers, out of the twenty- four required for the work were ready completed. Five months after the service was ina arated the fist night trains were run 0 a terwards a sleeping car built in i ilton, Ontario, was attached to the night express.

In what was lately German Fas | Africa lie great tracts where sonie of the finest resins in the world may be found. This is the gist of an articl in the Cornhill Magazine Which in : few pages lifts a corner 'of the vei from the romance of the world's co { pal trade from far Cathay to the | Fiji Islands, But the writer's atten tion is fixed on the east coast of Afri i. to the resins carried by Arahe from Africa to India for sale in the markets of Bombay and Calcutta. In Sir Richard Burton's day, as cen- turies before, Mombassa traded in ¥vory, in hippopotamus teeth, in cat- tle, in cereals, in slaves from the in- terior, and in resin. It was the pos- sibilities of the resin trade which Sir Richard wished to investigate. He desired to see the copal tree with his own eyes. His purpose was practical but he could not refrain from hark- ing back to those days when Mom- bassa, the desolate, was, as spoken of by Cameons, a home of anelent gran- deur. Burton's optimistic forecast for the immediate future of the resin trade did not lead to its development. For years copals have mainly come from Angola, Benguela, Congo, Ga- boon, and Loanga. Now it would seem as if, with the passing of Ger- man East Africa, a fresh opportunity had arisen for the collection of those "tree-products whieh link us so strangely with the past." { 3 Roblin Reports.
