Dering the hot weather, as was to be expected, few meetings for. the discuseien of the ctuestion were Wee, butoow that the fall approaches this means of agitation is being resumeelt The scope of the elisuussion is widen- ing, The sentimentssef the Reople of Winnipeg havebeen emphatically pro- nounced hi favor of unrestricted reci- procity, •the special hardships under which Manitoba. suffers by being cat off from her neighboring natural. maple- ets, rendering the people of that:Pro- vinee partieularly interested in the re- moval of the customs barrier. The first commereial union meeting heldin Quebec Province is announced to take place at Shefford Meentein, Eastern Townships, on the 24th. But the most significant demonstration— important as showing that the United States as well as Canada is becoming alive tothe need of closer commercial relations, will probably be the great Detroit meeting in which all the leading. commerpial• bodies are uniting. The cause is mak- ing steady progres% Nothing but its intrinsic merits and the plain coming% sense character of the proposal, wild :have enabled it in a few short monthsto have mede such extraordinary head- e- -way, •••• THE FOLLOWING is taken fron Mbne -day's London Advertiser, and is as fol - :lows :—The petition of the return of .Mr. Blake for West Durham has been .abandoted. The, petitioner has address- -ed a declaration to the High Court of. .Justice, .in which he says he has been ;advised by his council that. he has not • sufficient evidence to support his peti- . tion, and he therefore prays a day may be appointed for hearing his with- drawal. We inay offer Mr. Blake our congratulations on this, for it is a vin- • dicatien, not only of his own freedom fe.orreany charge of bribery or corrup- tion.that has been hinted at be the Governmentpress but it equally ex- culpates those who were eneaged in actively supporting. him during the con- test: 'We are pleased to learn also that Mr. tiake's health has geetettly irniprov, ed ;,that he is enabled: totake a good, deal of exercise on foot, and we hope that when larliament again assembles,. he will be in gond health,. and able to meet the enemy fully restored.

OATMEAL MILLING was once an iia - portant Canadian industry in which' no inconsideralile amount ot.capital, and labor was..employed. It is, however, a natural industry; which needed no fostering and and.no government "pro- tection," so the milleis.wouldinot sub- scribe to election funds,, coerce- their worktuen,,nor generally make them- selves useful at elections. They were,. therefore,. beyond: the, pale and,the National Policy pleople will rejpice that while. there are facilities for manufac- turing eight hundred thousand barrels of meal .in.Canacia,, only two hundred and thirty thousand barrels were made last year. This is another industry, that is beingeruiried 'teethe, artif_cially high prices aused by the National Policy Tiet Montreal Herald is right -dame upon those parties in Canada who make a business ofieirculating through a foe-, eign press mischievous-. falsehoods, cal- culated to bring Canada and the China - diens into distepete.

TILE Rumou of+ the death.of Stan- ley, the African explorer, is confirwed, he having been massacred by to nat- ives after the desertion, of his escort:. At least that is the way the dispatch puts it. we should like, were it pos- 'sible, to hear the natives' side of the Atory. If Stanley Had added the vit. tue of humanity to his acknowledged traits of energy had bravery, and re- membered that even natives have rights and human feelings, he would probably have been alive to -day. But he too of- ten.treated a manrwith a, black skin as an enemy, to be shot down or terroriz,, ed, and it is not =I:Tisk, that at the last his own measure was meted out to Tlir, FAILURE of the Bank of London owitig to heavy lessee and the payment of too high rates of interest on deposits in. order. to attract custom, is another illekstration ofrthe impeller. of; allowing the currency ofithe country to be con- trolled by private corporations.
