The commission appointed by the
Oatario Government to consider the
question of dehorning cattle has com-
pleted its public labors by holding a
session at Ingersoll. A number of the
(ommissioners say that when they were
appointed they were certainly prejudiced
• against the practise. but now view •the
matter in a different light. At the var-
• ious meetings, hearing experienced de-
horners give their experience and mode
of operation, several of the commission -
have thoughb quite favorable of the
scheme of dehorning cattle ; and it is
likely that it -will be recommended as
uniniurious.

It would appear from the vote in Man
oho, on Saturday that the people in
that Province -want no Separate schools.
The Greenway Government was strong
ha its protest against separate schools
receiving state aid, and went so far as to
sly that if its platform was adopted and
the Privy Council decided that the Pro-
vince had no right to pass the law that
they would not vote one dollar to any
but public schools,thusleavingthe others
to starve. The Opposition took a less
formidable ground, and -while pledging
to support the statutes now in dispute,
agreed to not only as the Privy Council
might decide, pro or con; so that the
friends of the national school idea will
rejoice over Greenway's triumph.

Some time ago the Dominion Govern-
ment decided to introduce machinery
into the Kingston penitentiary for the
making of binder twine. A large sum
was placed in the estimates for that pur-
p ose, and farmers will reap the benefit.
With a commendable spirit of imitation
the Ontario Government has decided to
adopt the precedent of the Dominion
Government and now purposes placing
machinery into the ,Central prison in
Toronto to make binder twine. This
legislation well have effect on the Trusts,
as also on legitimate labor; and if car-
ried on to any extent in the various
manufactures, we may expect it revolt
such as occurred in New York stafe some
years ago, the result of which was the
repulsion of prison labor and the closing
of the prison machine shops and fac-
tories.

The overwheliniug majority in favor
of prohibition, given at the Martgoba
elections, is without any legal effect in
itself. The vote recorded on Saturday
is merely an expression of public opin-
ion as to what ought to be dorte,but the
effeet of :that vote will be to give it
tremendous impetus to the agthation even
now beginning for the f.ulther curtail-
ment or total prohibition of the licensed
liquor traffic. Such ezpressions of opin
ion must be encouraging to ?temperance
peornoters,and prompt them in dropping
local option and Seott Act as a means
of attaining their ends; and on the
other hand utilize the licensing pewer of
the Provinces fur the purpose of gradu-
ally curtailing the traffic—to bring influ-
ence to bear upon the Legislators which
will. cause the enactment of laws lessen-
ing the number of licenses that may be
issued in each succeeding year. In this
way it great reform will be gradually
brought about without undue injury to
private interests, and. at the same time
opportanity will be given to prepare
public opinion either for a state monops
cdy uf the traffic'or its total abolition,
as may be clesired.

Whether the return of 111r4Gladstone
to power will result in the granting of
Home Rule to Ireland in the near future
remains to be seen. There appears to
be more than one obstacle in the way of
the Nationalists realising the object
nearest their hearts. In the first place
the fact that Mr. Gladstone will hold
office through the support of the Irish
party—thereby giving them the balance
of power—may cause them to be more
formidable in their demands, arid to
iitsist at mice on a limasure the grantiug
of which might alienate many of the
Grand Old Man's English followers.
For it has been asserted that it number
of the latter support a moderate measure
of Rome Rule merely through loyalty to
their leader. On the other hand, as
the Irishparty have everything to gain
by pursuing a discreet course, they are
equally, if not more, likely to accept the
bill which the new Premier will offer, if
it at all approaches their ideal. One
thing, however, seems certain, and that
Is that the House of Lords, in view of
the fact that the electorate of England
has declared at the polls against home

men especially are liable to Pe omitted it, comes before it. Mr. Gladstone has
if not looked after, Remember that stated that in thet event he proposes to

age, and will have been twelve months
in the province by the date the time
expires for making appeals, is entitled
to be on the list. Do notbe caught
napping, as there is little doubt the
next Ontario election will be fought on
the lists not being made up. A little
trouble now will make victory sure in
many a riding when the election comes.
An Ottawa despatch says the trade
returns for the 12 months with the ex-
ception of the figures front British Col-
umbia are now complete. The exports
for the year show the magnificent in-
crease of $15,228,868 over 1891, the
figures being $110,795,872, as against
$95,560,504. Of course when the re-
turns for British Columbia"are received
the totals will be changed, but it is
more than likely that they will makelthe
final result better even than it appears
to -day owing to the development in our
trade with China and Japan. The im-
ports totalled$110,486,444 as against
$108,553,707, an increase of $2,922,738.
The duty collected shows a falling off to
the amount of $2,901,370, the Jgurea

the imports showing an increase of

against. The vote has no legal significance
being merely taken to ascertain the popular
feeling in regard to prohibition. Now that

the temperance people they will take the
