Toronto Globe has special correspoadent travelling through Western Ontario and writing up the crop prospeets in the various- districts which he visits. The opening parn. graph or his letter trona London last week was as follows ; "A careful enquiry made in various parts of Perth, Huron and. Middlesex counties regarding tbe eondition of the erops and the Willem' prospeets meets with ttei most encouraging answers, Wbatever may be tbe state f affairs in other parts of Ontario, owing to adverse weather eitber in winter or summer, there is no diseburagement here, and the farmers have unusually bright prospects. There has not been the same period, of drouth as elsewhere, and as a consequence everything isin fair eondition. There may be a good deal in tbe method of terming. The farmers here are pro- gressive, and are ready to. admit it on being questioned. On the whole, the condition of the crops in these counties; which are largely devoted to the stock and dairy industries, is soinewnat better than in those to the east, which have been already de- serihed in these letters," Of the fruit erop he said 1—"The apple lands of Western Ontario lie on the slope toward Lake Huron, and have their best creps in Huron county. This is perhaps the most important item in the calendar of the farmers there, and tbe success of that crop means a good deed. There was an abundance of blesaoms in spring, but the cool weather at. that time prevent- ed fertilization and there was in conse- quence a poar setting, The crop,whilo by no means a failure. will be a short one and pre:be* little better than half," Fall apples are coming up very well, but the winter varieties will be short. Thousands and thousands of bar- rels otapplea are exported when the crop is beavy,but not much can be ex: peeted this .year tor other than home consumption. - The smaller fruits are all bearing heavily and above the average. The raspberry bushes were injured echisiderably by the winter, which was the coldest in this section <for twenty-seyen years, but the remaining plants bave yielded richly, and especially so in the new patches. Currants, goose ber ries, cherries and plums are till bearing more than they usually do. The friiit of these counties is said to be very free from insect pests this sea- son, the comment being made that last winter's frost killed them out," These remarks, while perhaps fairly accurate on the whole, . are open to some criticism. We are informed, with 'good authority, that in this dis- trict there will be, a considerable surplus of winter apples for export this year. That splendid apple, the Northern Spy, in particular, is mak- ing a. good showing. True it is an noff" year for apples, but still the yield will put a good many dollars in the farmers' pockets. Whether it is the result of last winter's frost or not, in killing off insects, certainly is this TifItEZ hundred United States edi- tors are touring British Columbia, tbe Northwest and Manitoba. Large editorial parties were taken over the same route last year by the Cana- dian immigration department, with very beneficial results, both to the editors and the department. Saturday Night, discussing- the salary of the Prime Minister, says: -.-- A dishonest Premier could amass great wealth although °in receipt of no salary. We desire no such system as that in Canada, nor do we need to found an official aristocracy by paying excessive salaries. We cannot continue to import these with advantage to ourselves and to the Peerage of Great Britain; but I think that we should pay the Prime Minister of Canada more money than his office requires him to spend. Sir John Macdonald, after his long and valu- able services, died a comparatively poor man whieh was more to his cred- it than to his country's." INDUSTRIES and Iron, London, England; observes that "Canada as a, factor in the world's iron supply, is a new notion to many people, and besides last year's production of 11,- 773,984 tons of pig iron in the United States the experts of the Donlin1011 tnay appear like an item from a balance sheet of Liliput. But they do exist, and along their present diminutive course are expanding at 2, good pereentane, if not yet a large amount. Siticeb1S95 the exports of pig iron from Canada have steadily grown front 250 tons, valued at $6,200, to 2,408 tqns, valued at *31,000, practically three-fourths going to the United States, most of the remainder to Great Britain, and, smalaquaritity to Newfoundland."

We hope that the en- quiry will'be thorough, and that the report of the committee will not leave room for difference of opinion among honest meta $ir Wilfrid Laurier's action in at once consenting to an investigation of the charges made against Liberal workers was most creditable to him. At the outset of the enquiry there appeared to be a disposition ori the part of zoom of the Liberal members to limit its scope, but the objections made appear to have been witb- The redistribution bill hes been drawn, and little, if any, opposition thrown out by the Senate by n party has been made to the fullest iovesti. vote, says the Weekly San, and it gation.

It would. have been wrong if a Gov - remain unchanged until after the next general election. As we bave already said, the measure, to us, seemed one to which little objeetion could reasonably be taken. The objection raised that a redistribution can be made only immediately after the census seems far-fetched. Would` this objection have been raised in the.

THE slap on the face given to Sir Wilfrid Laurier by the Senate in Uneeremeniously •throwirg out the Bill relating to the representation of the people in the House of Commons, ought, we think, to show him pallia- tive measures in dealing with the second chamber are useless says the Stratford Beazon. Be it remember- ed that the Senate took the extreme hoarse of placing its sate on a pro. posal, with which it bad no concern, ais it exclusively affects ,the people's bouse, at the very time the Premier bas the Government Bill before the House of Commons to continue the life of the Senate instead of putting it to an end. The Senate's attitude therefore is one' of uncompromising defiance and. it has no hesitation in showing itself to be a partizan body of an inveterate type. The guage of battle hearing been thus far thrown down, we think the Premier should boldly take it ap and fight the Senate to the end.
