One day last week as a certain man and woman were driving west of our burg. They saw an innocent looking dog on the road, so stopping the horse the woman held the lines while the man t out and stole the dog and drove off. fim of a kind and it would be bard to tell which was the biggest dog. the one that held the lines, or the one that did the act, or the quadruped, Rather a bold trick to do in daylight and the neighbors looking on. Quite a lot of hay, straw and grain have left this vicinity in the past ten glays en route for Duer, [ _ WAuluiul snow is disappearing and all are wondering if we are yoing to have spring now. but there is time eâ€" nough for a few more storms yet.

Merry Del Yal is now on the ocean on his way to Canada to investigate the School settleâ€" ment, The race to and from Rome of Jate has become highly interesting, and .we are pleased to think that the govâ€" ernment of Canada as a government, have nothing to do .with inviting this ablegate to our shores. Thathe doein‘; think so bowever would appear from a Londen despatch that speaks of him as displeaged with the aetion of the { sn itoba government in passing legislatton regarding the settlement before he has had time to Investigate! He will we hope liye to learu thas ro Canadian government large or small, can in any way be influenced by or from Rome.

This man refused to sign a document presented by his tishop denouncing the School settleâ€" ment, and as a consequenee had bitter clerical opposition. Theâ€"resuly shows that the people of Quebec have ceased to take their politics from their religious Canadians along the border are in gulted by officials putting in force ai alien labor law ; but for Grover Cleveâ€" lands last official act, this would have been made more insuiting still, and there seems to be no course open but to direct all ourenergies toward a developâ€" ment of our trade erst and weet, and in the doing of this no consideration can be expected by the nation to the south of us, who can be made to feel that Canada has favors to withold which they egn ill affora to lose. The name MeKinley was years ago associated with high protective dutres, bus it was thought the saupport he and his party received from sound money democrats in the late campaign woula have a mollifying efftest in this direction. Not so. The new masters hbave ouiâ€" dona themselves and introduced a measuae whuch bears narder than ever on Canada, and while no doubt the legislation is intended to benefit their own country without the first unselfi<h thought of how oursiders may be effectâ€" ed, one is foreed to contemplate the unwelcome course of "reciprocity of sariffs " if their can be no reciprocity of trade.
