Saskathewan, one ct’the' neir'er pro- vinces, has the most enlightened edu- cational measure of Whidr Canada can boast. At the outset of its career the Scott government realized the ditficuL tyofgetting the mfinch wa’s were nob-residents. ’ Fully £5,000,000 acres were thus not assessible fox-Joell purposes. Hon. Mr. Calder, the ] ter of Finance and of Education The condition of Ontario has ma- terially changed in this respect, dur- ing the last ten years; The number of tramps has been augmented by the temporary depression in business, and a very great addition has been made to the ranks of criminals and vag- rants by the large inflow of‘alien‘ im- migration which has taken place 0‘ late. The ordinary county constabu- lary does not furnish a suficient pro-- tection aganst the menace 'so creat- ed. The only effectve guarantee will be found in the organization of an eficient Provincial police who will be on duty at all times, and under the? direction of some central authority. ;eeaâ€"‘egvibrivschool Ms, so much of the land being he?! by‘ corpora- The stories of these tWo assaults do not stand alone. The Province appears to be fairly infested with gangs of tramps, at least some of whom are armed. The extent of this evil has been made clear by the search for the prisoners who recently escaped from Toronto jail. There is scarcely a county in the Province from which despatches have not come recording the presence in the neighborth of vagrants who might or might not be the escaped jail birds. All these cases have been investigated and it has been found that while the vagrants found were not the men sought they were of a class gerous. The assault recently committed an Mrs. Harper, of Mount Forest, was followed on Thursday by a similar assault on the wife of Reeve Dixon of Maryboro township. The Weekly Sun has the following to say in support of the demand for a Provincial Police system: Without one, there seems to be small reason why they should expect to wipe out the preponderating major- ity against them in the present House of Commons. Whether to take advantage of the improving industrial outlook or to risk another session with its assurance~ oi filibustering tactics and scandals, pos- sibly unimportant but surely injur- ious, is the problem Laurier has to consider. On the whole, the.chances seem to be in his favor. The Borden- ites have no single battle cry on which to focus their efforts, such as were the N . P. issueof 1878.‘and the Manitoba school affair of 1896. tario has increased its Conservative representation at Toronto. Even Que- bec has added 'to the strength of its minority party. Such indications as may be gathered from these local con- tests are not encouraging to the do- minant party in federal affairs. On the other hand is the succession of Conservative victories in provincial elections. New Brunswick has been swept into the Opposition column. On- on the outcome of the present local campaign in Saskatchewan, but if the returns there favor the Liberals they williprobably decide on an immediate appeal to the country by the Laurier cabinet rather :than a delay until after next year’s session of parliament. as expected a few weeks ago. The generally easier tone of business all over the continent, however, with the impetus given by the movement of the crops. should eradicate the fear of a “hard times’” cry, always a nasty issue for an administration to It is not an easy choice that faces the present premier.

An Act was passed by which the cabinet could appoint a Board to ccnsider' a}! the-flats. of labor disputes and rend 1r a decision on the merits at any case The I‘woulé not be binding 'on either ,‘buti inasmuch as it would be a verdict by‘ an unbiased tribunal, it was the the- --fl ‘ The strike of some-12,000employees in the mechanical departments of the Canadian Pacific‘Railroad should be instructive in another way than its effect rn industrial conditions, Says The Detroit Free Press. Commercially, of course, * its vital feature is its eXtreme threat to the reviving trade of _the Dominion, com. lmy reasOn for holding this opinion. I 5will only say that, in order to justify git, it is quite unnecessary to impugn ithe good faith of those high authori- ‘ties abroad who constantly reiterate their peaceful intentions. Neither is it necessary to hold that any deliber- ate intentions hostile to this country exist We are. however, living in times he nthe influence of individuals, how ever highly placed, is limited. When national interests are involved and race passions are excited there is al ways a risk and more than a risk. that a collision between rival nations will take place, however pacific may be the intentions of their rulers. Let me add that if, as I believe willbe the case, the enactment of this law int-- perils the cause of Free Trade, the chances of a collision will be materi- ally increased ” ing as it does just at the time when the great harvest is about ready to miwe and to start the restoration of business currents. It is- in the appli- tion to it oi Canada’s new Conciliation Act,‘ though; that the walk-out has its most interesting possibilities. I am now treading on delicate ground. It is neither necessary nor desirable that I should state at length { “What, I would ask, in the present condition of Europe, is the main duty iwhich devolves on the government of ithis country? For my own part, I ‘have no sort of hesitation in replying to this question. -Their main duty is ito make provision betimes for the $European conflict which may not im- probably be forced on us before many year‘s have elapsed. I am aware that the mass of the people of this country, {who do not follow foreign affairs with any very close attention, are not alive to the possibility of any such conflict taking place. I say it is the duty of a Government gifted with both patriot- ism and foresight, who have means of 1 information at their disposal which is not available to the general public, to provide ‘ betimes for that dangerâ€"a danger of which I, in common, I be- lieve, with most people who can speak with real authority on foreign affairs. am very firmly convinced. My Lords,i English newspapers are now to hand with the detailed report of the re- markable passage in Lord Cromer’s speech in opposition to the Old Age Pension Bill in which he warned the Empire or the possibility of a great war in the future with a nation which, thOugh unnamed, can easily be iden- tified as Germany. Lord Cromer’s ex- act words were these: in the east. They have a law which requires that school trustees shall con- sult the government with regard .to their work. When they project a build- ing they report upon the acreage that venue and expenditure. and the corn. niissioner is permitted to judge of the enterprise and to give it his approval. The school boards are to some extent assured of support. The prosperity of the school is. however, guaran when the revenue from the direct is paid over by the government; and in many cases it amounts to more than is collected from the occupants of the land. . This supplemental revenue tax should be very popular. It had the unanimous endorsement of the legisla- ture, and it ‘has the almost unani. mous endorsement of the people. Two school districts moved by political animusâ€"“for politics is politics in Saskatchewan,” says a contemporary â€"refused to collect their dues for schools and in that way the --school trustees aimed a blow at education. Still they received their proportion of the direct or government tax.

Since early in July these eggs have been hatching and we now have swarms of young grasshoppers. At first these are Wingless, but as they increase in size they acquire wings and are able to fly long distances. They may now be observed in the fields at all stages of growth. REMEDIES. When feeding on root crops the young. Wingless grasshoppers may be burned in windrows of straw placed as traps for them, and to which they will resort in large numbers at night. Poisoning, either with brain mash, or with the Criddle mixture is perhaps the best method of destroying grass- hoppers. In Manitoba the Criddle mixture is used almost annually and gives excellent results. For conven- ience this is made in quantities of half a barrel at a time.
