The leading question at issue in the contest was the school question. It will be remembered that some two years ago the Manitoba. Government passed an act abolishing state aid to Separate schools, and maintaining the right of the Province to tax all for the support of the National system. An appeal on behalf of the supporters of Separate schools is now pending before the Privy Council. The Greenway government refused to compromise on the burning question, and pledged itself, should the decision of the Privy Council be against the Act, to refuse to vote the supplies so far as any provincial grant to A NEW YORK journal intimates that the passage of the retaliation'bill by T the United States government in con- uection with the canal toll question is merely a warning to Canada. Cana- dians have become so used to retalia- tion messages and measures on the part of their neighbors on the eve of a Presidential election that the warning ‘ is being calmly accepted for what it is worth. The closing of the Sault Ste Marie canal to Canadian trade until the canal on this side of the line is com- pleted, would be a serious blow to our W'estern trade, it is true; but where would the trade of the Western States be were Canada to retaliate, as she lcertainly would do, by closing the St. lClair flats canal and the Welland canal to American carriers '1 .rUntriend- 1y bluster against Canadian interests is all very well as an election dodge, but Canada has the bulge to too great an extent in this canal tollmatter to heed the "warning” on this occasion. influence in the direction of immedi- ate legislation for the curtailment at least of the licensed liquor traffic. It is not probable that a. measure of total prohibition will immediately follow the vote of last Saturday, as large vested interests die harder than that; but there can be no doubt that the moral efl'ect of the vote will give great and immedi- ate force of the movement. THE WATCHMAN, LINDSAY, THURSDAY, JULY 2%,. 239:2" IN the agricultural budding of the World’s fair Canada has obtained one of the choicest locations forher exhibits, adjoining that of Great Britain, and measuring about 10,000 square feet. It is expected that an imposing display of the Dominion from the Atlantic to the Pacifie will be made on this area. It is proposed that these shall be ar- ranged in provincial groups, and farmers everywhere are invited to aid in the work. Samples of from 10 to 20 lbs. of grain will be sufficient for thel THE Reform press throughout the country is advocating the calling to- gether of a convention of the party, with a view to giving the rank and file ,the right of having more to say as to the policy of the party, and for the pur- pose of improving the organization. Much might be accomplished in fur- thering the latter by the holding of a convention 3 but it is very doubtful that the honest convictions of the rank and file would be heard as to the policy of the party. The modern party conven- tion is simply a gathering of dyed-in- theâ€"wool partisans selected by the ward heelers in the constituencies, who on assembling follow the management of the head bosses and re-echo the cut and dried resolutions of the latter. Should: the Liberals hold a grand convention1 free from all those Objectionable fea- tures, it will be something new and re- freshing. Such a convention would scarcely adopt a resolution endorsing the policy of unrestricted reciprocity, which the rank and file of the party have ere this been shown by some of their best leaders means the surrender of the commercial freedom of Canada to the United States, and in the end annexation. There is not much chance of such a convention being held how- ever. Separate schools is concerned. The Opposition promised to abide by the decision of the courts, and to azt accordingly. The Province by a vote of 25 to 13 has decided in favor ofa national school system, and that the Province is determined to settle for itself all matter pertaining to educa- tion. FROM bulletin 12 of the manufactur- ing series of the census returns shows that the increase in the value of pro- 'ducts of our_ manufacturing establish- ments, as represented by the urban population, is 117 millions, while the increase in population is 381,968. The increase in the rural districts in the value of manufactured products is 49 million dollars nearly, and the increase in population 126,000. The urban pOpulation has thus increased its output by 8306 per head of increase, and the rural by $386 per head. Both the rural and city districts have made great advances in manufacturing develop-7 ment during the past 10 years. From the figures relating to cities and towns having over 5,000 inhabitants, the fol- lowing as regards places along the Midland may be interesting. In 1881 lthe total output of manufactured pro- ducts from Lindsay was $542 ,103 , in 1891 81,043,602 ; from Belleville, $1,091,208 in 1881, $1,204,095 in1891; from Peterboro, 81011,.‘266 in 1881, $2,774,7461n 1891; from Port Hope $918,176 in 1881, $675,100 in 1891. The figures for ()rillia, which is under 5,000 population, are $253,895 for 1881, and $660,949 for 1891. The total output from Toronto increased in the same period from $19,562,981 to $45,026,322. purpose, and should be accompanied by the name of the producer, the place Where grown, the character of the soil, date of planting, quantity of seed per acre, date of harvesting and yield, with the name of the particular kind of grain sent.

Sundays, he says, were the big days at the Paris Exposition, where the average attendance was 137,289 and the maximum 400,000. Preparations have been making to. run Sunday ex- cursions to Chicago during the fair. “With good weather,” says the Chicago Times, “these excursions would, With the immense turnout of Chicago wage- earners, swell the Sunday attendance to 400,000 people. This for twenty Sun: days only would make $4,000,000 in gate receipts alone. Reducing the other six Sundays to half that estimate for probable bad weather, it would, make $600,000, which, for the twenty- ' six Sundays, would make a total of nearly $5,000,000. On concessions an official of the ways and means estimates that the total receipts would exceed $10,000,000. For the twenty-six larg- est days or Sundays it would reach nearly $2,000,000,making a grand total for the exchequer of the Exposition. approximately, $7,000,000.” All this may be quite true, but it is practically an argument in favor of all kinds of Sunday labor. What millions of dol- lars might be earned on paper if a cal- culation were made of what the indus tries'of the world could produce in the time apparently‘lost by the day of rest. Yet the world is happier and better off for resting on the seventh day, and so will be those who go to the Chicago fair. . : (no not. please everybody. Can we ex- m to be infallible.
