' Of course they all talk a. large amount of nonsense. but the connnnn-sense which is the blessed characteristic of our race soon- or or later comes to the point and prevents the people making fools of themselves. Forthe present week this journal has little to say on the subject,â€"it is simply over- whelmed with the pressure of foreign af- fairs. Over on the other side of the water 1 things are getting into a haul mess. and it requires all the energy. resolution, and statesmanship of this journal to preserve peace among the European powers.

Without any self-assertion or the slifiltest tinge of conceit, this journal may fat y be termed the pink of propriety, indeed throughout the whulc extent uf civilization, from Nugcys Creek to Huxtons Corners, there is no other newspaper which is so careful of its proprieties. Still, there are some subjecis which really must be discuss- ed in the common interests of the human race. of which interests, it is unnecessary to remark, this journal is the special. ”mung." \YelL the. fad: is. that the to remark, this journal is the special. guardian. Well, the. fact is, that the natural increase of population, and the re- production of the human family have to be spoken about. You know if no more babies came into the World, the end of the next century would see the end of the hu- man race. and just in proportion as the production of baby diminishes, the pro- portion of subscribers to this great. family journal must in the future he reduced. Really, it is very difficult to go on with this article. Let. us begin again in another way. __ .. . \v r W- 1- 435-“..- n (n It would appear that Nature is adopting I measures to prevent a too rapid increase of * the worlds population. At the present rate of increase the world will be full to the bung in two hundred years, and Nature is stepping in to check the increase. As civilization advances, thc‘number of births. per thousand of population diminishes. In‘ France where civilization is most artificial, the number of births scarcely exceeds the number of deaths, and in the United States umoug the wealthy Class very snall fami- lies are the rule. The higher the civiliz- ation, the fewer the births, are facts per- fectly familiar to the scientist, and the means adopted by Nature are no secret to those who study social problems. Really , this journal hardly knows how to go on. R l is Very difficult. Well, let us go slap at it, 1 and here goes _:-- ‘ u . ‘ 7 . . illi“ IIHA‘ n-«_~. . The use of the bicycle is becoming uni- versal. In another year or two everybody â€"â€"both men and women,â€"-will be riding bicycles. They have already been sufii- ciently long in .use to enable professional men to form opinions as to their physical effects. Naturally, the bicycle is used chiefly by young men and young women, their ages being generally between twenty years and thirty-five years. It will be ob- served that new papzls and mamas are _ usually between those ages. The number! of dear little babies born who have mamas i older than thirty five, or papas older than ‘ forty tire, is only 24 per cent of the whole number. Three fourths of the babies born have papas and mamas between the ages of twenty and thirty-five, which are the ages at which bicycle riders most abound. No. this journal really can’t go on the subject is too, quite too much too, don't you know. It is not possible to write a ‘ thoughtful, sensible, full. and explanatory article on such a subject. So this journal gives up the task, merely reunrking that it is found 1 y scientists. that bicycle riders have small or no families. There can be little doubt that the next elections will be decided by the indepen- dent voters. It is true that the bulk ofi the electorate will vote either Grit or Tory ‘ for the nut»; of the voters have not sufii~ l cient intellect to be anything else, but the ‘ number of thoughtful and independent men is now so great that they will hold a. predominating influence at the next and at all future, elections. An increase of fifty: independents in n constituency would in m-uiy instances give them the control _of the election. for in many constituenCIeM the numbers of Grits and Tories were‘ nearly equal. At the. last election there‘ ‘ were nearly twenty Ontario constituencies i in which the Conservative candidates were ‘ returned by small majorities. For instance the Conservative candidate in East Bruce l had only 14 to the good ; in North Bruce :30 ; in Carlton, 43 -, in Dundas, 60‘; in East Durham 61 ; in East Elgih, 13$ iri' East Grey, 19 ; in Lgnnox. 25 ; in North I Middle-sex, 6 ; i‘gm’ést Northumberland; {53; in _Sout}\ ggnhaes ; in East Pam , 1)*|....‘_.‘I '20 .

THE BOBéfAYGEON_ ,INDEPEE‘iiIDENTM There are a great many farmers in 0n- 990 tario. in fact the bulk of the population Ai consists of farmers, and, naturally, for not those farmers this journal has a great re- hal gard, respect, and consideration. The M1 farmers have wives, sons, and daughters, ‘hal though, unfortunately most of the sons ha‘ have gone away and are dispersed among ide the various States of the Republic, but the we‘ wives and daughters are still here, and for OOL‘ those wives this journal has profound hi“ admiration, whilst, as regards the dough. are 1ters, this journal is so mashed with their the ‘charms and beauty that at times it finds cal great difficulty in holding itself together am when going through the ress. But it is l to the wives and dang ters that it now appeals, for the farmers themselves are so busy with their spring work that they haye no spare time to give to reflection upon the current questions of the day. And those questions are very serious and de- mand an answer at the election‘ which takes place in June. ’The questions are very simple, when stripped of the mass of confusing rubbish with which the politicians have surrounded them. There is nothing in them that the wives and daughters can- not graSp and quickly comprehend. Let us take one of them,-the National Policy. When the politicians introduced this new dodge in 1879 they told the farmers some very pretty stories. and those stories com- pletely deluded them. They were told lthat the National Policy would increase the value of farm lands and would increase the value of farm products. They were told that the National Policy was to ro- vide a home market for the farmers. hey were told that the National Policy was to kccp’our young men in our own country, secure for them steady employment, and . give them a fair day’s wage for a fair day’s work. They were told that the National Policy would provide a home ; market for farmers’ produce, and that the El farmers’ interests and prosperity would be ; ; enormously benefited and increased as . soon as the National Policy was establish 3 ed. This journal asks the wives and 3 daughters whether those promises have i been realized. Do you find farming profit- ; able '1 Do you get well paid for the work you have to perform 7 Is your farm in. e creasing in value '1 Do you get high prices 5 for your butter, your e as, your meat. or your potatoes?

The fact is you are in 1 i. a very bad condition. You are insuflicient y ly remunerated for your labor. and every n promise made by the National Policists has i- utterly and completely failed. Then don’t :1 you think it is about time to try a change i 11 When a man has tried a new plan, and d that plan has proved to be a complete a, failure, mustn't that man be a stupid old 1y donkey who sticks to the plan because that l)- plau originated with a party for whom he re used to vote )ears ago '( Why of course or! he is. The National Policy has proved a as i failure,â€"now try some other plan. Don't to bother yourselves about studying the ins lie and outs of every other plan pro oscd, rn but say distinctly that the National olicy of I plan having failed, you will not vote in its es: favor any longer. Now that’s what you ‘ have to do. This journal tells you so, and he you know that you can rely on what thisl .1‘t | journal says. Do you take your husband, I a ' or your pa, quietly aside. Just fondle ,ry him a little to put him in good humor,then in! read him this article. and gently but firmly lat tell him that if he ever again votes for the are National Policy he must never expect to . have any appotizing meals or any perman- ' ent peace at the family table or around the domestic hearth. You do that, and this journal will venture to predict that everything will be all right.

A frontier line is drawn across the conti- nent, dividing it into two halves. On one half there are fire millions, on the other hslf seventy millions of people, and in both halves the peOple speak the same language, have the same grandfathers, the same ideas, habits, and customs. If anyone were to drop down out of a balloon, he could not tell on which side of the line he had dropped, for the people on both sides are alike, and it is especially to be noted that, on both sides of the line the people l cell themselves Christians, and on Sundays smgihymns to the Prince of Peace. - Sdch being the conditionsmdoes it not seem a little strange that the people on the 1 north side of the line, (the five millions) 4 should be constantly shouting defiance to the‘seventy millions on the south side.

Province ; that the local optionui law is inoperative, where it clashes in its municipal operation with the Canada. tem- perance act adopted by counties as a whole ‘and that the Local Governments have the right to pass a prohibition luw, withou: isuppressing the manufacture of liquor for outside Consumption, and being at the same time powerless to stop the import.- ‘ation of liquor into the Province. which is alone controllable by the Dominion Govern ment. menu. The Privy Council's finding is a practical victory for Sir Oliver Mowat, as it relieves the Ontario Government from the onus of ‘ introducing a measure to prohibit the im- orlation and sale of intoxicating liquors. Vhen the temperance people again besiege Sir Oliver, he can reply, I have no power in the premises. ‘ And as regards the power to prohibit the manufacture of liquors, acknowledged by the court to be vested in the Provincial Legislature of what value is it.

The smallpox epidemic in Gloucester England, has demonstrated the criminality of those absurd faddists who condemn vac- cination. Out of 366 eases, 207 had never ‘been‘ vaccinated, 158 had been vaccinated only in infancy, and only one patient had been revaocinated. Of 81 deaths 70 were {of unvaocinated persons, and the remain- ‘ ing eleven had been vaccinated only as ‘ babies. Furthermore, the unvaocinated l who were so fortunate as to escape death will be horribly marked for life. The peo- ple of Gloucester read the moral in these facts, and no less than 20,000 persons have been vaccinated there since the outbreak uvuu V“vvv-vâ€"__ , of the loathsome epidemic. the' "guest of Lord Aber- Afi'airs in the Transvaal are still most unsatisfactory and .the position is‘not a pleasant. one for England.

What was suspected from the first, is now being supported by the evidence, that Rhodeaof ‘ Cape Town, the head of the African Co'y, ‘ the Diamond Mine Combine. and the lead- ing spirit of South Africa, deliberately plan ned the Jameson raid, for his own ends. It is to be hoped that Mr. Chamberlain will have a thorough investigation of South African aflairs, and have those punished who are to blame for the in- vasion of the Transvaal, and the Scandal- ous attempt to rob the Boers of their COUIIU‘ '. 3... - r a, 2.--..-1.--" A: Quit-n Fnr well the Transvaal flag.

It is in effect that while an, accused person is assumed by the law to be innocent until found guilty by a. competent tribunal, yet thereafter the I assumption mushbe exactly reversed. p In j fact he plainly announced that reasonable ‘doubt of guilt arising after conviction is ‘ not to be regarded as ground for free par- don or compensation. In other words nothing short of absolute legal proof of in- nocence could be accepted as adequate reason for demanding pardon. This de- claration was made in the case of a prison- er named Kelsall, who had been convicted of felony and sent, to penal servitude. A few weeks ago the principal witness for the prosecution confessed that her evidence - - ¢ .. . .1, ' ______ an. mm: nuit.» v r, 7 7 V . was false, uni that the prisoner innocent of the crime.

But Kelsall still remained in prison for weeks after the con fession, and the injustice excited public protests.
