The corrupt character of the Chapleau Govâ€" ernment, and its Parliamentary record of the last few years have been considered suffiâ€" cient to prevent its reeeiving a continuance in office at the bands of the people. But the electorate of Quebec cannot be said to be abreast of the other Provirces in point of intelligence, and Mr. Chapleau and his friends, like their master, Sir John A MaeDonald, were so proliffe of promises of good things to come, that the wrongs of the past were commpletely forgotten. ‘The Proâ€" vince of Quebec is burdened with devtâ€" Mr. Chapleau promised to wipe it out.

This is exactly of a piece with Disraeli‘s treatment of Sir Robert Peel and the Corn Laws Repeal and agitation. â€"The Land Law Reform is being vigorâ€" ously ngitated throughout Seotland. A monster meeting of tenant farmers was recently held in Aberdeen, when resolutions were passed demanding a geoneral reduc tion in rent, compensation for improveâ€" ments, abolition of the laws of hy pothec and eatail, &e., the legislative changes beâ€" ing required to apply to existing leases. The meetings were attended by leading repreâ€" sentative men of all parties, and the proâ€" cecdings were characterized by due respect to law and order. Meanwhile the agitation in Ireland, although checked in its fierce extravagances, is still smouldering. Thouâ€" J sands have appealed to the Land Com'ts.l but many, incited by the emissaries of the League, refuse to pay rent and will notl appear before the Commission. _ House burning, cattle maiming and other barbarâ€" ous modes of making reprisals are now and again reported from different parts of the counnutry. The Tory party, true to its inâ€" stinets, are attempting to turn this unhappy state of thigs to its own advantage.

It is to be hoped that the paid ana lysts of the Government will be more rigid in their examinations in future. â€"The reports ot the Dominion analysts would lead the public to suppose that adulâ€" teration of foods is little known in Canada, and what adulteration there may be is of a comparatively harmlesss kind. .

We have long needed a word of this sort, suitably to desceribe a great vaâ€" riety of people, and to check the increase of Lighâ€"sounding, "toney" words, which have for some years been coming into use in our language. Kleptomania is a word of this kind. It is a pity this word was ever alâ€" lowed to crowd out the good, honest old Saxon word thief. But if we must haye ‘euphemismn, let us Lave sLort, crisp, exâ€" pressive words, which we can easily spell and read, and which a eluld can proâ€" vwounce. Then the kleptomania will be sumply a crank ; and the defaulter a crank, and the fraudulent debtor, a crauk ; and the gambler, and the profligate, and the profane, will be cranks; and the infidel, and the man who rides a hobby of any kind, may be fitly described as cranks. ‘] Nat." â€" But still more, "If the Assessor is *\a Grit, wateh him," suys the doevment, *\ and even in the case of that functionary }| being a pronounced Tory, the officers of the ! | Association are advised to give their perâ€" ‘ | sonal attention to the assessment roll, for | the reason, that sonretimes the Tory official | may only be a tool in the hands of designâ€" |ing‘ Grits.

Although the rouds were bad there was an auttendance of fifty of the youth and benuty, with a sprinkling of the older members of the Society to lelp direct affeirs. ‘The meeting was called to order about seven o‘clockâ€"the President in the chair. After the Secretary had read the minutes of the inaugural meeting, there followed an interesting and useful debate on stock and grain :â€"*"Which is mere proâ€" fituble for the farmer tomake a specialty s ‘The President gave his decision in favor of the stock side,and he then received a vote of thanks for the gentlemanly and able manver in which he conducted the dobate. It was then determined by the meeting that the umpire for the next debate be James Edge, anu that the subject to be discussed be as fcllows:â€""Does success depend more upon the farm or the furmer ?" For tho next debate the Capâ€" taimms appointed are Robert Edge and Robâ€" ert Moffat.

One condition is the articles must be written, so that the practice in i writing will be good, if nothing more. The articles are read by some of the officers, and |no doubt when the scheme is better known the "Varietyâ€"box" will be well patronized. The mectings, which are*to be held fortâ€" nightly, had their origin in a desire which £prang up about a month ago, that an effort should be made to spend some of the spare hours of winter in a manner that should be at once intaresting and instructive. Some sections of the neighboring townships are in the same line, and no reason can exist why something of the same sort should not ’be organized, here and there, through all our townsl:ips, and prove as interesting and instructive as did the "Spelling bees," the rage for which swept the country a few years ngo."
