NOTES AND COMMENTS There is gnod reason to believe that, by mutual concessions between the Government and the O-,poeition, in regard to the Ayleeworth Election bill, an understanding has bean reached. which makes it pretty certain e ba t .prorogation will be reaotied by mid die of July. in time for the ee labile Ten - centenary celebration. The determination of the Government to encourage in some form the build- ing of the H.dson Bay Railway, ill be hailed with delight in the West. Whether the Government builds the road or assists some company to do so, is not of supreme importance in the West, but the fact that the Government are favorably inclined to the immediate construction of the road will be receiv- ed with delight by the people who have suffered much in the past owing to inadequate transportation facilities. The fact that a new source of revenue has been arranged sufficient to build the road, without being an extra charge upon the country, is at itself a most encouraging circumstance. si fort on the farm is higher thea lated_hundreds of miles .from any prevailing in the centres of population healing hand he has his healthnd is beyond q :estion.

Foster often makes criticisms whioh provoke retort from the G,vern- m nt side that makes his argument foolish and inconsistent. This was demonstrated on Tuesday last when he objected to the legal agent of the Gov- ernment at Halifax employing outside counsel. Mr. E. M. MacDonald of Piston, remiaded the House that un- der the late ConBervative Government, Mr. R. L. Borden was the legal agent, and that instead of employing outside oounaal when work had to be done away from Halifax, he sent a junior member of his firm from Halifax whose expenses had to be paid by the Govern- ment. Mr. MacDonald niece proved that when Mr. Borden war legal agent the Government was put to much greater expense than that incurred under the present system. NEWS NOTES.

There is perhaps no part of 0 :tario in which the average wealth and comfort on the farm is higher than it is in Elgin. Farms in that county are, as a rale, in a high state of cultivation; farm homes are roomy and well furnished, and much of the oapital used for the carry ing on 01 the enterprises has been ob- tained from savings accumulated by farmers in this favored section. Still a staff correspondent of the Globe tells us, Ririe from a number of Elgin farms are going to fill positions in town at from $3 50 to $4 00 a week, while the mothers at home are looking in vain for domestic help for which they Are prepared to pay a good deal more than their daughters are able to earn in Speaking at Gzit, Hon.
