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.

TIIx Stratford Liberal Club, after a

of principles :—"Freedom to trade
with foreigners as well as with fellow -
citizens is the birthright of every
citizen of a free state, and the existing
infringements upon such rights should
cease ; therefore, this association, to
attain such an end, wi l hail with de-
light all meaeures (1) for the reduction
of tlae present extravagant national
expenditure, (2) for the increase of
taxation upon intoxicating liquors and
other luxuries, (3) for the immediate
reduction and ultimate extinction of
toxin' dues upon goods of British pro-
duction, (4) for the like reduction and
extinction of tariff dues iu favor of any
country extending to us like privilege,
and (5) for so amending our fiscal
system as to render thio trade pro-
gramme practicable, not shrinking
from the sal stitution of so mach
direct or indirect taxation as may be
found needful to accomplish it safely."

We clip the following • from the
Ayton correspondence to the Hanover
Post, with reference to Mr J W Scott,
formerly of this plane ;-"We bad the
pleasure of witnessing; a proof of the
wisdom of tbe Ayton School Board at
their concert, in connection with their
school:which was held in the town
halt on the Ilth of November. 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. His speech was short,
interesting and apprt,priate. The
