PTIURSDAY. JULY 21st, 1892. ltrOTS AND COMMENTS. It is ungracious of course, to refer to the matter now; still the fact thst twen- ty million dollars 'worth of property ever° destroyed, with an insurance upon it of only three millions, proves that the distressed people of St. John are quite ;m much in need of a lesson in proper business methods as financial relief. *** The traffic receipts of the I:Mero1la:is:1 Railway during the past three or four months have been greater than the clis- Sir Oliver Mowat's law to punish minors who smoke, came into force on the lst inst. In future, under its pro- visioos, the juvenile votary of the weed may be arrested, and the dealer who supplied him with the weed punished. Bub the question arises, will the act work? One trouble will be to get any one to appear as a prosecutor; another will be toprov e the lad'sage; still another to prove that it was tobacco he smoked. Convictions under Sir Oliver Mowat's legislation might as well have been left unenactech Parente, not Provincial politicans, are in law, as in fact, the real custodians of Ontario juveniles. The parents can better teach their young sons morals and manners than INI.P.P.'s can. In fact, ib is ehrewdly suspected that the small boys of the Province stand far less in need of watching, when away front home, than some of the very legislator° who are concerning themsel- ves so about the habits of these young- sters. The whole anti -tobacco procedure as a piece of paltriness and puerility. bursements. This is one of the results of the changes made by Hon. Mr. Haggart. lieretofere the road has al - -ways been maiutained at a great loss. * * * The expenditures and revenue for the last fiscal year is announced in theCanada Gazette. The total revenue up to June 30, 1s9, was talla,902.600, against a to- tal expenditure el .931,'267,000, surplus for the year uu eceount of consolidated fund of over four and a half millions. The net public debt is $235,910,00. Canadians have reason to be proud of the fact that Manitoba carried off th e coveted Gold medal for the best wheat at the Intercolonial Miller's Exhibition of Loudon, Eng. Ours is a wonderful heritage, and our sons are not half so prowl of it as they should be. A little less modesty and a little more confidence would help us Canadians. * *, It appears to be conceded that Glad - sieve will have a majority of about 50 in the House of Commone. As a large part of his following will be made up of the most incongruous elements it is very doubtfulaf called upon to form, a gavern- rant, that he could carry on aft's= for any greae length of tale. ' The enormously increased business in life insurance is brought into vivid light by an article from the pen of Mr. Devid N. Holloway in the Arena. At the be. ginning ot 1891 the amount of outstand- ing policies was, in the United Kingdom Canada and Australia, $ 8,077,000,000; on the Continent of Europe, $2,715,- 000,000; in the United States, 4,101,- 000.000—a total of $9,891,000,000. At the beginningof 1892 the total insurance in force throughout the world had reach- ed $10 680.000.000 increase of $787,- 000,000 within a year. During ten ars, the total amount has increased by 75 per cent. "It is," concludes Mr. Hol- loway, "indeed a great business which has sympathetically and conservatively arranged for the future peymentof near- ly eleven billions of money to twenty million beneficiaries throughout the ci- vilieed world; which durieg 1891 paid $625,000 daily to holders and beneficiar- ies, Dant during the stone year issued new insurance to the amount of $1,788,- 000,000. With all its •enormous achieve- ments, however, it is only at the thres- hold of a much more enormous future." • • It is understood that Sir Oliver Mowat willbring on the provincial general elec tions shortly after the next session of the local legislature. That being the case, the vote will be taken an the lists that are now in course of preparation by the assessors. The assessom do not find the young men. It costs a young man $2 to be young by the assessor. But every man who is a British subject and twenty-one years old, is entitled to Vote at the proVineial elections. * * The Ontario Government's resolve to make binder twine in the Central prison. it is explained, is not an infringement on the Toronto Trades and Labor coun- cil's rights of free labor, but is the out- come of a patriotic and statesmanlike policy. Why is it right to make fain° in Sir Myer Mowat's jail while it is wrong to make pails in Sir John Thomp sonis penitentiary may not be evident on the face of the case, observes the Montreal Gazette; but is to be taken, like the Liberal assertions of their poli- tical purity, on faith. * * * Canada and India will both be indi- rectly represented in the new Imperial Parliament. Those distinguished colo- nists Edward Blake and Naoroji whose first name is really too long to reproduce in these columns, will have aeats and an opportunity to talk upon Canadian and Indian questions. Circumstances are thus tending to truly imperialize the Parliament of the United Kingdom. A place in this the most august of all leg- islative bodies is a reward for the ambi- tion of any eminent British subject. Ourown EdwardandIndia's own Naoroji may be but the advance guards of an army trom the dependencies :and colo- nies that will yet occupy seats in the Imperial Parliament. Meantime Can- ada is prepared to see Edward 13Iake outshiue the Parsee Naoroji. Edward speaks the language with great fluency, and altogether the native Canadian in this case is a much heavier -looking gun than the native Indian. * * * The trade returns continue to furnish a most eatisfactory showing, The follow- ing are the comparative figures of the exports for eleven months of the fiscal year: -- 1892 ;$96.606,411 1891 84,572,833 Increase $12,033,578 1892. ...... . .... .. „ $99,300,905 SOME PASSING EVEN' Increase. , $ 913,581 SEVIEVV OF A FEW OF THE LEADING CCRSENT TOPICS.

Make and the Trish rortY—A liTasonie Centennial for Canada This Year, The event of the past week in Ontario was the celebration of the centennial anni- versary of our Provbicial autonomy. Just one hundred years ago last Saturday the proclamation calling together the first par- liament of Ontario was issued and on the 17th of September following it assembled in the historic town of Newark, now known as Niagara. What a change one hundred years has effected on the face of this fair Province! The stately pile of masonry in Queen's Park, now all but finished—who would recognize this grand and handsome edifice as the direct heir and successor of the low -roofed backwoods structure where Onnericas first 16 al.P.P.s assembled 100 years ago? But not more striking is the contrast between these two buildings than is the contrast between the Ontano of to- day and the Ontario of 1792. In that cen- tuxy what a change the brain work and the manna toil of its uthebitants Ma effected anthe lands and the natanl features of tbe Province? A forest primeval has been transformed into one of the most frnitful gardens of the world, beautified by river and lake, hill and valley, studded with. flourishing towns, the whole united in one by bands of iron running in all directions. If any people should feel proud of their native heath it is the people of Ontario. Where in the ‚wide world will one find a more genial soil than the stretch of land from the Niagara river to the Michigan frontier and running north away back? Mere moh a grand stream as the St. LhIlTelle0 in whose channel flows a never -ceasing currout of the purest, ancl coolest basil water that is to be found on the face of the globe? And as a peoale where can you find tt more enter - primate a more determined, more tiering ince -Chau the pioneers who tackled rough nature as they found her here, and their descendants who to -tiny are contiaming the work and branchiug out into enterprises of a world wide reputation? We Canadians then can l000k back with pride at these humble be. ginnings of 1792. Even in the first session no mean work was effected. One of the first measures introduced provided for the ortulual abolition of slavery andthe absolute prohibition of mare from abroad. General Simcoe was the Lieut -Governor whopiloted the ship in those days. He was not by any means the figure head that his successor now -a -clays is supposed to be. Real, pm - Meal -work characterized the General's official life. At the end of the second session Governor Simone decided to move his capital to York, though it was some years before arrangements were family com- pleted. In 1796 the necessary buildings were &jelled, and (Tenerel Simeoe's Budded, Governor Russell, convened in June, 1797, the -first Parliament held. in Toronto. At the celebration op. Saturday Sir Oliver Mowat made a point of declaring his loyalty to British connection and denouncing the annexation fad. General Simcoe clid not utter more loyal words on the occasion of that assembly 100 years ago than did Sir Oliver last See turday. Decrease $ 2,867,818 * The Manitoba Provincial elections will be held next Saturday. The cam- paign is said to be proving one of the most bitter evefought in any province. The school and the railway questions furnish the issues around with the fight rages, with tho format by all odds the most important. The position of the Government and its opponents may be briefly defined as follows :—The Gov- ernment is in favor of a provincial non. denominational system, and. is opposed to the maintenance in whole or in part of separate Roman Catholic schools out of the general funds. The opposition formerly supported geparate schools, but have executed a flank movement and now declare themselves subatantial- ly in accord with the Government on this question, though they want the power of appeal removed. They also have a scandal charge against the Gov- ernment,ancl the issues are being warmly discussed. What the result will be it is difficult to predict, though the Free Press anticipates a "magnificent triumph" for the opposition. The cholera hes made its appe`arance in Paris and in a somewhat serious torm This is in its way startling news, and will put the British as well as the French smitary authorities on their mettle. The chances, however, are still against the epidemic becoming wide • spread. The French admiuistrators are fully alive to the danger of the situation, and possess both the necessary knowledge and the power to use itin combating the dreaded disease. •Twice within recent years the cholera has made its appear- ance in the French capital and though it carried off quite a number oevictims it was kept within a comparatively limited area and ultimately overcome, without Engle.nd, with which France has the most intimate relations, being affected. While England is free America is com- paratively safe. British Elections. Sir John Abbot will probably visit Eng- land this fall. , • Sergt.

The London Times, Tuesday, gave pro- minence to a letter from Sir Edward Wat- kin, the eminent engineer., urging a settle- ment of the lrishaquestion by a compro- mise between Mr. Gladstone and :Lord Salisbury, and by the conotruction of a ship canal across Ireland and a tunnel connecting Ireland and Scotland. There have now been elected 667 mem- bers of the House of Commons out of the 670 composing the body. With the result of the North Keny election due Tuesday, the polling in Tipperary, which took place Tuesday, and the polline in the Orkney Islands, which takes place next week, the oontesto will be over. The partier now stand: Conservatives, 314 ; Opposition, 353. The three remaining districts are certain to return supporters of Gladstone, so the latter's majority in the next House will be 42. The following totals represent the en- tire vote cast at the recent elections :— Unionists, 2,146,946 ; Opposition, 2,417,- 586. teet At the time of writing the English elections are practically over there remain- ing only 22 seats to be contested. It is ex- pected that six of these seats will go Union- ist and sixteen Opposition. In that event the next House will consist of 354 Liberals and 316 Unionists, giving Mr. Gladstone a majority of 38. Summing up the situation a well - informed correspondent says : We nowlmow that Mr. Gladstone will have another term of office, though certainly not a long one. His party is made up of many sections, the most of which are jealous of each other. They are by no means unani- mous even in their love of Mr. Gladstone. The labor 'party, infect, look uponhim with extreme dislike and the Anti-Parnellites are still more bitter. Then there will be the people to reckon with who will be dis- appointed with the distribution of offices. Remember, also, that the majority will be composed largely of Irish members and that it is impossible to keep them in close atten- dance at Westminster, especially now that the funds run low. It is pretty certain, then, that Mr. Glacistone's Administration will have a short life and not a particularly merry one. • The election by acclamation hist Fri day of a Conservative—MaBoyd of par - b e rry—t o rep resen Varque t te, Manitoba in:the Dominion Parliament, a sent held some 1882 by Mr. Robert Watson, a staunch Literal, is not ohly soother striking evidence of the popularity of the Government, but is also remarkable • from the fact that there is not now a single constituency in the vast country west of Lake Huron represented by a Liberal. Tt is not generally known that Edison received in one instance a fee of $40,000 for his opinion on an electrical exper- iment. He was employed by the cont. rimy organized to bore the Niagara power tunnel to examine! the ground, study conditions and plats, and give an opinion as to the feasibility and practica- bility of the work.

Edward Blake is now the re- presentative of an Irish constituency in the Imperial Parliament and as such he will soon take his seat in the House of Comnaons. What figure he M about to cut in British politics no one seenes to be able to speculate with any degree of certainty. The press of Canada and in Great Britain have noticed his entry into the arena, but they hardly know what to make out of it. Some of the editors here who know the hon. gentleman pretty well think a second Gladstone dwells within that spectacled brow. Others look at the failure of his political career here and predict that he • will not make a success in English politics for the same reasons that told against him here. What Mr. Blake's position will be no one can foretell. Everythmg depends on circumstances and the opportunities presented. The English press speaks well of him and are disposed to give him every consideration. One of the -London dailies speaks of Mr. Blake as the most distinguished "stranger" thab has sat ha the House since the days of Grattan. In considering Mr. Blake's arosition it will be renumbered that he was invited by the Irish party am become a member of the Irish party, and a Member of that party he is to -clay. It was Irish priests that wel- comed hint on his arrival on Irish soil, and it was on the goodwill of the Arch• - bishop that he was recommended to the • electors of Longford. One would imagine Mr. Blake will have not a little difficulty in keeping himself square in a party that has continually a civil war with- in its own ranks to contend with. Mr. • Blake would have occupied it much more dignified and perhaps useful position had he been invited by Mr. Gladstone to lend his assistance in the Irish cause as an English rather thau as an Irish representative. Canadians with watch with interest Mr. Blake's career. That he intends to make England his home may be surmised from the fact Mat Mrs. Blake and family are getting ready to cross the water in Septem- ber.
