L.ter Saturday's Canada Gazette contained a proclamation further proroguing Parliament, until Mon- day, Marrth 25th. THE. i)onduion Alliance Executive have decided not to hold a Provin- cial ('onvention until after the de- cision is given on the test ease by the Privy Connell. A. manifesto is to be issued, recommending temperance workers to attend nominating con- , Vt'tlti011s to seelhl'e the nomination of prohibitionists to oppose candidates who are not prohibitionists, and where no prohibitionists are nomin- ated to nominate independent prohf- bitionist candidates.

REV DR. Carman, General Super- intendent of the Methodist Church, has decided to remove to Toronto from Belleville, where he has resided. for nearly half a century. THE Town of Berlin is petitioning the Legislature to prohibit local bo- nuses to factory -owners. It is time V the municipalities took action to save themselves from this growing evil. THE petition against the Hon. Richard Harcourt, Provincial Treas- urer, has been withdrawn. The petition was said to have been ori- ginally entered by thePatrons of In- dztstry in the constituency. ONTAIuo continues to add to its reputation as. a steady, well ordered Province. In 188.1 the committals for drunkc•ith,er:: were one to four hundred of the population, whereas f:'r• the past year they were but une to nine hundred, a. decrease of' G per cent. J. A.

This will mean C a deficit for the current eat fi,.ca 1 year of j $5,000,000. The expenditure for Jan- ; nary exceeded the expenditure for Jan- uary, 1894, by half a million dollars. . The startling announcement is made that the public debt increased during the month by $3,743,000, so that the debt is now in round figures $250,- 000,000. TIIE GLOBE : Mr. Patterson is in a dreadful frame of mind. All over Western Ontario he has been dream- ing of treasons, Stl'iltage111S anti' :poi's, and has more than once given . voice to his dreams. He believes the Liberals the not true to the old flag, ar:d evidently meditates turning out the militia on election day. He speeched" at the ceremonies con- nected with the opening of the rooms of the Young Men's Conservative As- sociation in this fashion : " He charg- ed the Liberals with being untruthful to the country, and the country wonted none of them. The young Conservatives would fight their ef- forts fforts to secure power with their bal- lots, :Ind if necessary with their bul- let.~." We are not told whether the Minister spoke with a uniform on, a sword by his side and spurs as big as saucers on his heels. To be it char- acter that should have been his cos- tume. Alliteration has many eharms, but she is a siren that has led many ellen to their doom, as witness that clergyman who helped Mr. Cleve- land into office by his famous declar- ation anent Rum, Romanism and Rebellion. Ballots and bullets is a. good phrase, but bullets and balder- dash i5 just as good. WROXETER. AI I. John A.

Tlie Dominion lxovernmeut InIs gained nothing by its departure from straightforward, busfneslikemethadss in regard to the general elections. As every one knew that the event must come this year it was useless to attempt to spring a. surprise upon the electors. The right course would have been to call Parliament early, expedite Wetness by abstaining from all but necessary measures, and then held the elections as wolf afterwards as was convenient for the farmers. ]3y that time the lists would have been completed and in the hands of of all parties ; and the electors would have received through the proceed- ---°�°°•-`',SMAII* ings of Parliament the freshest pos- TURN BERRY. Bible information as to the condition of the finances and other public business. That, at least, is the course that would have been pursued by a Government that had nothing to conceal and nothing to fear. It would have been, even for a Govern- ment that has much to conceal and to fear, a more politic course than has been pursued. As it is now, the best time of the year for the holding of the session is being wasted ; the whole country will be inconvenienced by throwing the meeting of Parlia- ment forward into the spring or summer; and the election, even if announced this very day, can be held only a few weeks sooner than it might have been held after an early, brief and businesslike session. The question from the first was not whether there should be an early dissolution, but whether there should be another session of Parlia- ment before dissolution ; in other words, whether the Ministers were prepared to do their duty by calling Parliament at the regular time and giving the people, through their rep- resentatives, the information as to public business to which they were entitled. They have shirked that duty, and yet they have failed to win the party advantage to which they were prepared to sacrifice duty and the public convenience. The country has witnessed few more humiliating spectacles than the dreary farce which is now being enacted at Ottawa; the disputes be- tween Ministers who wanted to evade the session and Ministers who wanted a session for the purpose of gerryman- dering Quebec ; the assertion—per- haps to be regarded as a sort of dismal joke—that the question of session or no session had never been considered in the Cabinet.
