This week we publish an article written by L. V.

Our readers who are E I I or have been students are requ‘eSted to contribute. Mr. O’Connor’s article is as follows: When we refer to the executive department of government in the United States of America, we are prac tically contemplating the office of Pres- ident. In the first place your attent ( :1 might be called to the fact that in the Presidential election each State no matter what its comparative pOpulation is entitled to two electors, and as a result the people of the United States might readily find themselves in the unique position of having as their executive head a President who had ;been elected by the minority. Once lseated in his official chair the Presi-‘ 1dent in no way representspthe people, but is entitled to exercise all lhelpowers of an autocrat. During the four years of his term of office he is entirely re moved from and independent of the people, the only available means of bridling his sway being the slow, tedious and cumbersome process of impeach ment. But, it might be urged, the President of the United States does not alohe represent the executive department of government; he is guided in his policy by a body of ministers, heads of the various departments of State, who are appointed to their several departments by the President at the advice of the Senate. This statement in itself is undeniable, but the impression it c0n- veys at first blush tades away uponl investigation. In the first place, the Senate is not a body representative of ‘the will of the people, and it naturally follows that any appointment made by the President at the advice of the Senate would not be a popular one. In the next place, though it is customary for the President in making the several ministerial appointments to conform with the recommendation of the Senate, he is not bound to do so, and his STUDENTS’ CORNER. é E {NEIL é bublicitibn ‘ ussi‘ns anzl national and 4 flats who are requested t6 w mum! rum!

Unlike in the United State members of the cabinet must be mem- bers of either body of the legislative department, and as a consequence must be in entire accord with the will of such department. The legislative department of. government in turn is composed of parties who are in every sense repre sentative of the people, so that we see in operation here one of the most popular governments on the face of the globe. The Governor-General acts only at the advice of and in accord with the will of the cabinet, \the cabinet is repre- sentative of the will of the legislative department, which in turn is represent- ative of the will of the people. So that we Canadians have here in the literal sense 'of the term government for the peOple and by the people 7 A -__:11 kc. a tlvvlllv Ian-- 'J 'â€"â€"â€" I: v This then, so far as it goes, will be a suflicient reply to the question asked at the opening of this discussion, “Do the people of the United States of America exercise greater control in the govern- ment of the affairs ot their country than Alive-L v. y-av â€"-_._._- _ we the people of Canada ?" We in Canada have a constitution superior to that of the American people, and this discussion cannot be brought to a close utdwuuu-v-n v'---- v - a- in a more appropriate manner than by quoting the words of the late lamented Sir John A. Macdonald when moving in the Legislative Assembly ot Canada the resolution in favor of confederation: “We can now take advantage of the experience of the last seventy-eight years during which the Umted States constitu- tion has existed, and I am strongly of belief that we have in a great measure avoided in this system which we propose for the adop- tion of the pea 1e of Canada, the defects which time an events have .shonwn to H111» UII I-v w-u - vâ€"-_ exist in the American constitution.” un: we. be) chi [Farmer's Advocate] The unsatisfactory [appearance of fall wheat in most parts of Ontario, which we regret to learn has suffered more from the winter than we have thought, is another evidenceoftheuncertainityofthatcrop,and of the delusion of depending on it to any great extent as a source of revenue from the farm. \Ve would not willingly dis- courage its cultivation toa moderate extent, as we know that under favorable condi- tions it can, in the average of years, be successfully grown in the greater part of I the province. It is a favorite crop with a llarge proportion of the farmers in these 1sections on account of its seeding and harvesting coming in at times when other work is not, as a rule, rushing. and its being a nice clean crop to work with, besides being a favorite crop with which to seed to clover and grasses; but its partial and in many cases complete failure this year should serve to teach the lesson that it is not wise to risk many eggs in that basket, and especially unwise to sow wheat on land not suitable for it on account of insufficient drainage, lack of fertility, or an inadequate preparation of the seed-bed. If the conditions are not such that the crop gets a vigorous start and its roots a good hold of the ground before winter, the outlook is doubtful even in the best of years. Its fate depends not altogether on the character of the winter, for not infrequently, having come safely through that season when steadily covered by snow, it is heavily discounted by alternate freezing and thawing, or by cold, dry, winds, during the spring month; but when it fortunately escapes these adversities and realizes the hope of the farmer in a full crop, its golden heads waving in the wind are ajoy to them and to all who feel interested in his welfare, and they are legion. The present condition of the wheat crop, which none regret more than we do, serves to emphasize the soundness of the doctrine we have advocatedâ€"that, in all of Eastern Canada at least, the raising of grain for sale should be regarded as but a secondary tioo; that the raising and feeding of live stock, and the sale of stock and its products must continue to be, as it is, the principal source of revenue from the farm, and that the raising of grain should mainly be prosecuted for the purpose of feeding stock and the production of meat and milk; (1 that to the cow and the sow the majority must look for the means of acquir- ing a living or a competency; while horses, sheep, and poultry may well work in as profitable seconds to the general farmer, and as the leading source of revenue to those whose tastes and qualifications justify them in making a specialty of any one of these lines.. The fact may as well be. faced now as later, that the older provinces cannot com- pete with the virgin soil of the West in producing wheat, and even if it were practiceable to ensure a good crop of this cereal every year, we doubt if, at the aver- age price of the last decade, it can truly be called a paying crop; and even if a steady price of a dollar a bushel were assured, there would be no sense in making it the main product of the farm, since it would necessarily involve selling the fertilily of the farm from year to year and the temp- ls tation to attempt its product‘on on land or totally unfit, from over-cropping and lack he of fertility, to produce a paying crap. As to a crop to be grown in moderate area in a nt, well-ordered rotation, it is all right, and ing that'is, in our opinion, as far as it can be . is satisfactorily adopted. M1 considers. a The markets for all classes of live stock are now such as to encourage the raising of so many young animals as can be well kept, and it will be found more profitable, taking one year with another, to devote special attention to that branch of the work of the farm. To that end, one of the first considerations should be the growing of such crops as will furnish the necessary food to secure the early maturity and promote the development of the farm wool: to a high degree of quality. To get the best returns good feeding must go hand in hand vs 'th 903d breeding.

His body was b'roughtto Woodville for interâ€" ment. â€"â€"The Rathbun Company of Deseronto have at present over one thousand men engaged' 1n driving logs down the different streams. The Moira drive a .lone amounts to 16,500,000 feet, probably the largest ever brought down that stream. â€"Saturday morning, about 10 o’clock, a serious accident happened at Galbraith’s planing mill, Port Hope. when Frank Curran had his right arm badly smashed while working at the sticker machine. The injured man was taker. to his home and medical aid summoned when upon examination it was found that the arm would have to be amputated below the elbow. He stood the operation well and is doing nicely. â€"Mr. Thos. Mahoney, a. farmer, went to Gravenhurst last week to do some shop- ping. At- dusk Friday evening he boarded his row boat to return to his home at Montcalm. Since then he has not been seen, and there is every probability that his dead body is now hidden in the waters of Muskoka Bay. Diligent search has been made, but no trace of the missing man has 1been discovered. His boat, with one car was found'near Young’s island, and a has: of flour which he carried was found wash- ed up on shore near the same spot. It seems certain that by some means the unfortunate man fell out of his boat and was drowned. His loss is a crushing bereavement to a wife and three young children. â€"â€"William R. Godolphin of Huntsville, Muskoka, at one time treasurer of that town, but lately a conveyancer and finan- cial agent, is in trouble again. Five years ago Godolphin embezzled money from the town and fled to England. He was appre- hended and brought back to Canada by Government Detective Rogers, and served a three-year term in Kingiton. Upon his release he returned to Huntsville, where‘ he started in business as financial agent. On May 3rd, itis alleged, he drew $300 iwhich Mrs. Emma McLaughlin had de- posited in Matthews‘ private bank in part payment for the licenses of Kelly’s hotel in Huntsville and went to Toronto. A warrant was issued and he was brought back and will stand his trial. He was also arrested in February, 1896, on a charge similar to the one upon which he was taken into custody last week, but the case was settled. -â€"At the spring assizes in Barrie last week an action brought by Mrs. Walkerl of Parry Sound against the Canadian‘ Atlantic railway came before the court. The plaintiffs husband was a fireman on the Parry Sound branch, and on May S. 1998, was killed a few miles from Depot Harbor. The freight train on which he was firing ran into the rear end of another freight, the time system being in vogue there. The plaintiff's counselwere Messrs. Wallace Nesbitt, Toronto, and Dow and :McGillivray, \Vhitby. The plaintiffs line of argument was that the block system should have been used on such a railway line, though his lordship refused to admit evidence to that effect. or that the block system was introduced after the accident, ‘u or in fact, was under consideration when the unfortunate event took place. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Mrs. Walker, awarding her $L,500 and $1,000 to each of her two little girls. -“Joe“ Wall, the eightoyear-old son of Mr Con.Wall of Ashburnham, was drown- ed in the Otonabee at Peterborough on Wednesday afternoon of last week. Joe and his ten-year-old brother Eddie were walking across the Rogers dam, which spans the river near the centre of the town, and which is used as a “short cut" from the village to the town. The boys had their arms full of driftwood, and the ‘elder brother was leading the way, when 3 he heard the splash of Joe as he struck the water. The little fellow had made a mis- step and had gone off the narrow walk inro the water. justabove the slide through which an immense volume of water was rushing with terrible force. The elder boy never hesitated. but plunged headlong in to the rescue, and grabbed his brother just as the two of them were swept over the slide and into the whirling eddv below, Eddie lost his hold on his brother in the boiling water, and it was a miracle that he ever emerged from the eddy alive. However, he succeeded in reaching shallow water, and gave the alarm, but his brother had been carried down stream by the current and was drowned. “Farming" submitted a question of how I to farm 50 acres to greatest profit to Mr. William Rennie, firm superintendent, Ontario Agricultural College, than whom no man in Canada is, capable of giving a more practical answer, and the subject of his reply is : Conduct a home dairy, rotate crops, divide farm into four sections; first year, pasture ; second year meadow; third year. corn and rootsâ€"6 acres corn, 4 ac: es roots; and 4th year grain, barley and oats, Lfor feed, and seeding down with 7 lbs. red clover, 3 lbs. alsike and 4 lbs. of timo hy.
