CO, opp. Brunswick House W ingiaam, - - - Ont (icy FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1892. LDITORIAL NOTES MR OLAnnNOR PRIMROSE, of Picton, N 5, has been called to the Senate, iu the place of late Senator Grant. T>sn only Dominion election peti- tions yet to be tried are those against Bon J 0 Patterson, of West Huron, and W B. Bennett, of East Simcoe, Both are Conservatives. ACCORDING to the United States census of 1890, there were 980,941 Canadians in the United States at that tithe, au increase of 233,784 as coat - pared with 1880. " .A DRAFT of Gladsto ie's Home Rule hill has been submitted to Irish lead- ers witli a request for suggestions as to changes. It provides for retention of the full strength of the Irish party in the Imperial Parliament and for strengthening the imperial veto. A aloNTneAL uewepaper states that in well-informed circles it is consider- ed settled that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company will got the Gov- ernment contract for the fast Atlantic mail ser%iee; and that the line will lJ probably be establisher) next summer. Tnn Manitoba School 'question is just now giving Conservative politi- cians a good deal of concern. A feel- ing tbat Sir John Thompson will .strain the constitution to give to the Cathode minority in Manitoba wlrat they are not entitled to, seems to be effecting a large number of the Causer - waive press and members of parliae ment. Ix addition to the `62,30S,47 5 ob- . tained by the Ontario Government as bonus at the recent sale of 618 miles of timber limits, the Provincial Treasury will receive C*i3 per square mile yearly for ground rent and $1.25 ois every thousand feet,be.ard measure, of pine cut off the land Only the pine timber shall L,e cut, the terms of sale so stipulating:. Tua accession of $Sir John Thomp- son to tete Premiership is not very palatable to a large section of the Conservative party. A man's religion should not be a bar to his elevation, to a position of honor and responsibility in our country. Sir John is an able, man, and has been the leader of the Conservative party iu the House of Commons for the past year, and would have been Premier at the death of Sir John Macdonald but for the opposition of a section of his party.

SIR JOHN ABBOTT, on account of con- tinued ill -health, bas tendered 'his resignation to "Lord Stanley, who has called upon Sir John Thompsten to form a cabinet.

About a year ago the Board employed Mr Scott, dentist, here, to teach the child- ren vocal music.' It is difficult to give special ntentiou to any of the pieces sung by the • children as all were ren• dered in an excellent manner. -The °'Laughing Song' and the "Sun Flow. er Song" showed clearly that the efforts df the musical direetor,to culti- vate the musical talent of the pupils had met with no mean success, and the school which is so fortunate as to have such ate efficient tutor as our Mr Scott is to be congratulated. The pleasing manner in which the dramatic part of the progratume was carried out, reflects great credit on the principal of the school, Mr Houghson, and his assistant, Miss 1lorrice. 11uch taste was displayed in the selection in of the pieces, and the way thick they • ,werre rendered made them both edifying and amusing. The singing of the adult choir was good, and was well received by the audience, as was also the recitation of Miss Morriee. The vooiferous applause which followed the rendition of a vocal soh by Miss Beatty showed the hearty wanner in which the audience could appreciate a sweet, melodious and cultivated voice. Dr Landerkio 111', was present and when taking the platform eves greeted' with an ovation that made the blood tingle in the veins of every liberal minded son of Canada that ever cast a vote, for the barefaced Landerkin.
