WHAT ABOUT HARTY? Public interest is still being centred on the question, what is to be done with Marty the rejected of Kinston? As we annderstand it, according to the prince plies of responsible government, no TEM zsber of a Cabinet can hold a port. Ragewithout having a seat in the pop -- eider branch of the Legislature or Par larsteent, The reason being that every member of 'government is responsible to the people for his public acts. Pre- ;r6,sus to the lest provincial election,Mr.. arty was appointed by the Mowat w evernmeet to the position of C,.mmis- aoner of Public Works—a very iespon 1hf✓e office in which much of the peo }Bt's money is expeuded.by the official. seems after his defeat in Kingston, Mrs Harty tendered his resignation to alba Ontario Premier—wh•i, as yet, has atst seen fit to accept the resignation. '.wee public have been ,given to under - \ of Sir Wm. Harcourt, who accepted office under Gladstone, but was defeat- ed,—are both in point, They . volun- tarily retired from office until re-elected by other constituencies, In short, the British practice—on which our Canad- ian procedure is. based -requires that the advisors of the Osamu should oe cupy a responsible position, and a Cab- inet minister, who has been rejected by the people is under no responsibility whatever. Under these circumstances Sir Oliyer Mowat is only trilling with British law in permitting Mr, Harty to hold on to office against the well understood wishes of the people, in Parliament, The ease of Mr Glad. stone, who was defecated .in 1$46, anand llllfO *Etraiice1estn. TIIE 1i USSIA N THISTLE. In taking steps to prevent the spread of this pest it should be noted that it is an annual plant, and grows from the seed each year, The chief means of distribution is by the wind, During the winter the large plants separate from their roots, and becoming "tumble weeds" are blown across the ground, dropping their seeds wherever they go. The young plants are at first soft and weekly, they are easily destroyed with a hoe, plough or cultivator, may be 'saber smothered out entirely by a heavy crop or so weakened as not to grow large enough to form tumble- weeds. The seeds germinate freely after ploughing, and unlike those of wild mustard and some other plants have not the power of retaining their vitality for several years when covered with soil. Therefore, as Prof. Hays, of Minnesota, points out, "If all plants large enough to travel before the wind are kept from ripening, the weed will not be hard to eradicate on each farm'' Waste lands, roadsides and railway banks sho:.ld be particularly watched, as these are the most Likely places for the weed first to occur, and where, um doubtedly, long after the pest has been brought in subjection in arable lands, some plants willigrow to maturity un noticed and unchecked, and then will be blown away from these neglected spots, and reinfest fields from which the weed has been thoroughly cleared All infested lands, or lands .ikely to be iufested, should, as far as is practicable be cultivated till August, after which time, it is said by those who have in- vestigated this subject in the United Ste tes, the Russian thistle will not leave time to spring up again and mature seeds. The Russian thistle has already found its way to Manitoba, and may reach Ontario and o her parts of Can- ada at any time, and our farmers should be on the alert and never let the pest get a foothold, as it has in the Da- kotas, DISCOVERY OR GOAL. The recent d'scovery of coal in On- tario was no doubt a surprise to many. But word has reached us from Rat Port age, authenticated by experts, that anthracite coal can be found in unli mited quantity in that part of Kee watin and that its quality cannot be excelled. This will he good news for coal consumers in Ontario who are de pendent en the Pennsylvania mines for hard coal for fuel. There is an abund • pnce of soft or bituminous coal both in the Maritime Provinces and in the North West Territory, a supply that is practically inexhaustible but the dts- tance of carriage, as well as the duty imposed on the Canadian product by the United States, preclude the pos. sibility of our competing here in Ontar- with the product of the Pennsylyan. mines. The finding of hard coal in e Rainy river district will probably d to the discovery of other mines in s Province; and if so, the price of thracite coal to consumers will be a nanza to Ontario people. In fact, we ve no idea as yet of the mineral ealth stored up in various sections of nada. It is only the other daythat kle was discovered in Sudbury in eh paying quantities; and fortunes ve already been made by the phr- ase and transfer of claims in that trio. The same may be realized long from the opening of coal mines North Western Ontario; and it 4s fortunate that the Mowat Govern- ut have been entirely passive in development of our mines and min. Is, while at the same time they ve been most extravagent and stelae in the timber resources of this ovfnce. But we trust a brighter day eginning to dawn on Ontario, and t under new and progressive gov- ernment thevast undeveloped resources of the Province will be utilized for the general good of all cencerned. io is th lea the ad bo ha N Ca nic su ha ch dis ere in un me the era ha WA Pr is b sewed that the protest against Dr tha.
