PROSPECTS appear brighter for the re-
moval of the embargo against Canadian
,cattle in Britain.
BETWEEN the demand of the farmers
on one side anrt manufacturers on the
other the Dominion Government is ex-
periencing a hard time of it.
A PLEBISCITE ..ou prohibition will be
taken in Nova.£gcotia,at the local general
election_aehich will be held in the course
of a few weeks.
THE Dominion Parliament has been
sumuioned to meet on Thursday, 15th of
March next. It is supposed by that
time it will be known what action is
taken by the United States Senate with
the Wilson tariff bill.

not until the electioneering "No -Popery"
ery was afterwards raised that objections
were suggested : and, more 'or less ex-
citement having been got up, these ob-
jectione wore made or repeated by honest
Protestants as well as others. I think
many of these objections arose from mis-
apprehending the meaning of the enact-
ments or greatly exaggerating the effect
of them.

they pay and what would be obtained if
the sales were couducted like those of the
Reform Government of the Proviucs. To
prevent such scandals infuterc, Mr.Blalte,
in 1882, moved in the House of Commons
that "it is expedient to apply the just
principle of public competition to the
granting of timber limits," and the motion
was negatived by a party vote. The party
wished to retain the power of rewarding iu
this way political friends or of obtaining
money for elections.

Good Roads Convention.
At the Good Roads Convention in
Toronto, last week, it was agreed to make
a permanent organization of the dele-
gates. It will be known as the Ontario
Good Roads Association and will be
organized primarily in the townships of
each connty.
A councillor will represent each coun-
ty, and there will be an additional
director for each of the Central Farmers'
Igstitutes, Eastern and Western Dairy-
mou's Associatious,and the Creamery and
Cheesemen's Associatious. Toronto will
be the headquarters of the association,
and there will gleno fees or dues, except
those to cover the cost of the publica-
tions of the association.
The aims of the organization are ex-
pressed t.t3 MOWS:
'1. To combine, as far as practicable,
tl o efforts of all persona engaged in the
wbork of road reform.
'2, To awaken interest in the subject
among the people at large.

4. To ttid in providing for a proper
