It is undemtood that at the request of Sir Charles Topper the proclamation rummning the Dominion Parliament for the despetoh of business on the Blst of January will be cancelled, and the ses- sion postponed until the 23rd of Febru- ary. Sir Charles is‘still hopeful that he may succeed in making some arrange ment with the Unlwd States in regard to the fisheries question and hence he wants as much time as possible for ne- gotiation. The British Royal Commission on horee breeding. in their report, lament the detoriation of the breed of horses in the three kingdom. {This has been caused by the very large export of the best horses to foreign countries. They say that “this country has been left for the most part with the inferior and often unsound animals which the foreigner has rejected and the result has been a gradual deteriorietion in the general breed for which England at one tithe 'my tip into! orinmrod (tom Exchanges] was so famous." They recommend the establishment of "hares" or breeding stations in different parts of the country," but they have not yet agreed on any general system of improving the breed. of "norms. They recommend that 822.: 000 be appropriated for premiums to horses at the Royal Agricultural show to fake place in Nottingham in Februlry. The tone of the report is dolefnl and the commissioners do not seem very sen: gnino of being able to bring up the breed of English horses to the standard from which it has fallen. A WELL considered editorial in the London “Free Press" calls our attention to a new and striking aspect of the ques. tion of forest depletion. After quoting reliable reports, it shows that as we are now going on and taking the old and new townships together our fuel wood will be gone in twenty rem. Many now have to burn coal. then all must. Considering the price of coal and the freight thereon it must be at least .8 a." ton and each farmer must pay annually from 8100 to $150 for fuel. This is a heavy tax offset only by the crops grown on the newly rleared land. But it is found and proved that where the woods are nearly orquite {zone the crops oven on new land are not nearly so good Its-there were when there was it larger proportion of foreet. There. fore we may 'ero long in addition to lack of material for fencing. c.. expect at the same diminished crops and increased taxes and farmers are advised to prepare for replanting and protecting trees. both for their use. ornament and climatic in- fluence. AN influential deputation from the Counties of Victoria and Simone waited upon the Attorney-General last week re- garding the separation of three counties from Muskoka. on the around that Mm- laoka was a. greater hnrden than they were olile to hear. Representatives of Muskolm claimed that they were not yet Able to stand the separation. One nug- pestion made was that the Councils of these counties nhonld grant Munhoka a thousand dollars each to help them in case of separation. One important point to which the attention of the Govern ment was drovm was that many of the farmers in the two counties were only rentingiarms. and they were practically lnlping poorer farmers in Mnshoka to catnhlleh iarmaoi their own.

Nine counties and cities have voted twice and two have voted three times. making an aggregate of 92 contests. in 71 of which the friends of the-Act have been successful; The ag~ gregate of votes cast for the Act is 162.- 408. and against 112.488; giving a not majority for Prohibition of 49.975. Omitting all voting but the last in those places which have had more than one contest. and including the recent vote in Charlottetown. the total vote for the Act is 147,806, and against. 102,493 ; a \ total majority for the Act of 44.818. The immense strike threatened in the Pennsylvania coal district and other strikes involving hosts of men, are cal- culated to create untold distress among the laboring class in the United States. Should striking become general, a. cer- tain proportion of the strikers will be .able to accept idleness for a time with all its hardships and temptations. These will be the worst sufferers. asthere is nothing more demoralizing than a period of concerted and irritated idleness. But if the strikes continue there will be very many who cannot live thus. and will be seekers for other employment at any price._ The effect of this on the labor market will be equivalent to the sudden immigration of so many thousand able-bodied men. It will depress the value of labor in every industry and cause discontent and perhaps commer- cial collapse. The stoppage of work representing a quarter of a million dollars aday, will. to say nothing of ‘ other efiects. cause a loss of just about a quarter of a million dollars daily to the laboring classes of the Union which will be more or 'less spread over the whole of i .A Racxx'r utterance of Cardinal Mann- ‘ fng has given rise to a great deal of dis- ‘cnssion both“ in= Great Britain and A'merica. The Cardinal. in a short article in the_"Fortnightly Review.“ in reply to some strictures on remarks that he had made which appeared in the I 1"ll‘imesg" says : “I answer that the obli l {gation to feed the hungry springs from ‘ lt'ie natural right of every man to life l and to the food necessary for the sus- tenance of life. So strict is this natural right that it prevails over all positive luvs of property. Neceisity has no law and astrarving man has a right to his neighbor‘s l.rsad." This is very strong l ltngnage coming from an eminent Clmrchman. His Eminence maintains his position by reference to thepoor laws of England in the time of Elizabeth. Strong as his language appenra, it may. after all. mean very little more than the principle acted upon in the legislatures of all civilized nations that people must not be allowed to starve. Provision is ;everywhere made for the maintenance of the destitute and the people to a greater or lesser extent are compelled to pay towards their support. If. as the Cardinal says. the starving man has a natural right to his neighbor‘s bread, it follows, that the neighbor in his cor- porate capacity. has a natural right to put the starving man in the way of earning his own bread and of compelling him to earn it'if he exhibits any unwill- ingness to do so. This isi'one of the rules that must work both ways. The obligation to feed the starving man must imply the power to compel the starving man to earn his own living. tl; .
