Last year the crops in Ontario were exceptionally good, and the yield of wheat was 32:, million bushels, whilst in Manitoba, a province wheat, the yield last year was over million bushels, and including the North West territories the total yield was close upon 30 million bushels. From these figures an idea may be formed of what the next ten years will accomplish in the development of our great North West.

MCLEAN, the member for East York, introduced a motion in the DO' minion houseasking that parliamentleg- islate in the direction of compelling the railways in Canada. to reduce passenger rates from 3 cents per mile to 2 cents. After considerable discussion the mo- tion was withdrawn for the present, Railways enjoy large public privileges, and are essentially public institutions. and it will be generally admitted that parliament is justified in legislating for the purpose of regulating these corpor- ations within reasonable limits. In England the Government lowered the passenger rate to a penny a mile,- and the result has been that owing to the increase in the number of passengers, the railways have been the gainers. When the subject will have been care- fully looked into, there is no doubt that the Canadian public will enjoy similar privileges, and that the railways in the end will profit by the change- THE Hon. Edward Blake has accept- ed an invitation from the Messrs. Mc- Carthy, Davitt, Sexton and O’Brien wing of the Irish party to contest an Irish constituency for a seat in the British House of Commons. The Can- adian reform journals seem to, encour- age Mr. Blake in the acceptance of the offer with a good deal of fervor, if not relief. It is very questionable that all this is the result of their faith in Mr. Blake proving a success in his new role as a leader in Irish political life. His sphynx-like attitudes will scarcely suit the temper of the Irish people, nor is his eloquence the kind they care for. It is a great mistake, however, on the part of these reform journals to assert that Mr. Blake leaves this country and Canadian politics in disgust, becau<e Canada “appears to prefer Haggart and Caron and boodle to Edward Blake.” It is but a short season ago since Mr. Blake told the world over his own signature that he retired from Canadian public life with the greatest regret on account of the dangerous and disloyal policy Of the leaders of his party. He had all along been able to stand “the Haggarts and Carons and the boodle,” but what he could not stand was the Cartwrights and the Lauriers and their policy. (I if it is not right he must pay the piper.

The evidence at the trial admitting that the desire of young entirely discredits the theory that the Canada to be independent is a worthy fire might have been accidental. It and patriotic ambition, to aim at such i was clearly the work of an incendiary, a condition at the present time is simply and one, as the attending circumstances The ight Kind of Goods 1 playing into the hands of Annexation- ists. The Monroe doctrine is not dead, and the American people are not hos- tile to us because we are British, but because we occupy more than half of the continent which according to that doctrine belongs by nature and by right to the United States. In the recent disputes we have had over the Atlantic and the Behring Sea fisheries, Canada would have simply been cro wd ed out, had the Americans not known that such a proceeding would have pre- cipitated a war with, Great Britain. Now we are in a position to meet the Washington ambassadors on equal terms, because we are in a position if necessaryto appeal any aggression to “the stern arbitrament of war.” Even under such favorable conditions our hostile neighbor has rendered tardy justice. These circumstances with the hostile tariff legislation of recent date point clearly to what we might expect were Canada separated from the Empire, and that independence is. not feasible for a long while yet, but the life of Canada depends on British con- necticn. THERE were no less that nine crimin- al cases on the calendar at the court of sessions here last week, three of which were of a serious nature: one of horse- stealing, one of arson, and one of at- tempted poisoning. In the poisoning case the jury disagreed, in the horse- stealing case the accused was found guilty and received a sentence of eight- een months in the Central prison, whilst in the arson case the verdict was “not guilty.” The machinery of the law has therefore failed so far to reach the criminals in two important cases, whoever they may be. The arson case excited the strongest public interest, the court-room being crowded through- out the trial. On the 5th of April last the barn of Mr. W. Wright of Linden Valley, near Cambray, was destroyed by fire, along with no less than 46 show, of the most hideous and revoltâ€" ing type. A criminal, therefore, of the most dangerous stamp is abroad some- where, a not very comforting reflection for the community. Owing to the difficulties in the way of tracing crimes of this nature, which are done as this one was at the dead of night, it is not probable that the criminal "will ever be brought to justice. This is too often the experience of communities in which incendiaries have been committed, and this community has not been an ex- ception in the past. It becomes the authorities, however, to Spare no effort in the interest of public safety. fl IT is broadly hinted in several public journals that there is a move on foot amongst the members at Ottawa to increase the sessional indemnity on ac- count of the length of the session. It is to be hoped Sir John Thompson and Sir John Abbot will not recede from the position announced some time ago, that no extra allowance would be vote- ed, even should the session last six months. One thousand dollars for six months is precisely two thousand d01- lars per annum, and it is safe to say that three-fourths of the members at Ottawa would not earn any such sum had their love of country only allowed them to quietly and modestly remain at home. And it is just as safe to say that one thousand dollars for six months is a pretty high figure to pay for three“ fourths of the “ work" done during the present session. Deduct the length of time consumed in senseless obstruction, coarse personalities, cock-crowing and still more objectionable vocal exhibi- tions, and the public will readily see that two out of a possible six months’ session would fairly cover all the solid and valuable work, so far as the coun try is concerned. So long as the country will tolerate these “ round-robin” raids upon the treasury, so long will the average member delight in long-wind- June 1, 1392- ”,»), ml... .
