The political atmostphere is heavily
charged with rumors as to the inten
tion of the Federal government—whet-
her they wi.l hold a session of parlia-
ment this spring, or go to the country
en a dissolution. We do not profess to
be in the secrets of the government--
fact,
overnment—fact, beyond the members of Cabinet
we opine there are few, if any, who can
tell which course they nilly pursue,
Judging from the postponement of the
date at which Parliament is usually
called together, and from. the activity
displayed by members of Cabinet in
holding public meetings,—and further,
judging from the fact that the revised,
voters' lists are being rapidly pushed
through by the Printing Bureau, in
which the whole stalT have bean set to
work,—it would seem as though a dis
solution of Parliament is not unlikely.
Certainly there is great activity being
displayed in Ministerial circles. And
therefore it is well that the electorate
should be prepared at any moment for
the fray It has been hinted that no
definite proclamation will be made
either way—whether for calling Par-
liament together for the despatch of
bus-ii-ess, or for dissolution and a gen.
eral election—until after the Manitoba
appeal is heard. That is fixed for
Feb'y 26th; and it may take some days
before the Cabinet is in a position to
decide what course they may adopt
Whichever view the government may
take on hearing the appeal they have
a delicate and difficult task before
them. It may prove to be a choice be-
tween Scylla and Charybdis. Forour
part, we should deprecate exceedingly
the necessity for disolving Parliament
and going to the country before a ,ses-
sion is held to transact the public bus.
iness. And certainly we sliould depre-
cate as keenly any reverse that; the
government might sustain at the polls,
should it be that the Manitoba school
question or the existence of Patrons or
P. P. A's would be the means of return-
ing the grits to power. We had quite
enough of mismanagement and deficits
in the revenue under the Mackenzie
Cartwright regime, without incurring
the risk of new fads or theories about
free trade. Those who are out of po!we
are always ready to make fair promise
while those who are in should be tried
on their merits and in their past • re-
cord. If our readers and patrons con
elude that the Liberal Conservative
government have done their best to
promote the welfare of the people, then
let them set their faces against en-
couraging any triangular fight in the
constituencies. Let the friends of good
government stand united, shoulderr to
shoulder, and not be cajoledby fair
but false promises of tariff reform that
will never
realized. a ize3.
The e
people of
the neighboring Republic have had a
severe lesson taught them by the pro-
fessions of the Democrats, who prom
ised tariff
reform; the such was ef-
fect of their policy that the nation has
risen in its might to express condemna-
tion of a change of policy that has re-
sulted in financial depression and gen-
eral commercial disaster. Let our peo
people profit by that object lesson!

sneaked behind the counter and grabbed
the girl by the arms.
At the same time he put his hand over

DISGRACEFUL BLUNDERING.
At a Niagara Palls Fire — Firemen In-
jured.
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont., Feb. 26.—Shortly
after six o'clock last evening the Preston
two storey brick block on Clifton avenue,
near the post office, was discovered to be
on fire. The ground floor was occupied
by W. L. Flaherty, wholesale and retail
liquor merchant, and H. Preston, customs
broker, while the owner, Mrs. F. J. Pres-
ton and family used the south wing as a
residence, Over Flaherty's store was la
cated the Niagara Falls cigar factory. In
the drying room of this concern is where
the fire is supposed to have started.
The fire department responded promptly
but there was a painful delay of some 10
or 15 minutes before the water was turned
on the flames on account of the hydrants
being buried under packed snow; and
even when the hydrant was reached dis-
graceful bungling and want of discipline
r took place amongst the firemen. Every -
s : body seemed to be managing the executive
department. Ladders were raised and
firemen climbed on them by the score.
One ladder gave way and some half dozen
men came down in the crash, and bad it
not been for the drifts of snow they fell in
some of them would have been seriously
injured. As it was, one of their number,
Fireman Webber was badly injured. He
was carried into Smith's drug store and
his wants attended to. If not internally
injured, he will probably be out in a few
days. Two others, Harry Williams and
IChief Chas. Cole, escaped with slight
sprains.
The block was deluged in the water and
the flames extinguished. Jelin F. Ander-
son, owner of the cigar factory, will be the
greatest loser, his loss being placed at
$1,000 on plant and stock; no insurance.

OTTAWA, Feb. 26.—The fact that Lord

TOM °, Feb,?.1.—Tide afternoon under
the usual military escort his Honor, the
Lieutenant -Governor opened the first ses•
sion of the eighth Parliament of Ontario.
Promptly, at three o'clock he walked into
the assembly room of the I°arlialueut
buildings in Queen's park and found the
Speaker's chair vacant. On account of
that intentional and customary oversight
he walked but Again and waited around
until a Speaker was cltosen. This is the
usual custom, W, D. Belfoin was then
by vote of the members' authorized to at
tach "Hon." to his =name and take the
chair. When the Lieutenant -Governor
*as informed of the fact he returned and
delivered the
Speech front' the Throne.
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Legislative
Assembly:—
In opening this, the fleet session of the
eighth Parliament of the Province, I ani
glad to welcome you as the representatives
of the people assembled for• the despatch of
bestuess,
While the past year was unfavorable to
the agricultural interests in some respects,
the prices of many products, especially
grain and stack,remainiug unusually low,
it is very gratifying to know that increased
interest has been taken in improved meth-
ods of farming and in the reports and pub-
lications of the Department of Agriculture.
Various agricultural associations and or-
gauizations have been. making increased
demands for instructors. The special
dairy work in counec'tioo with the Agri-
cultural College et Guelph has been pro-
secuted with very satisfactory results, and
I am pleased to learn that last year proved
to be the most successful year in the
history of the College.
From time to time public attention has
been directed to our northern districts as
suitable for settlement by an agricultural
population. At the present time consider- ,
able interest is being manifested in this
direction, and it is proposed to establish,
with your approval, at a moderate expense ,
a pioneer dairy farm to attract further
attention to these new districts, and also
to prove their adaptability to agriculture.
During the past year the Rainy Lake
region has come into notice as a gold field.
Many explorers have been attracted' to it,
a number of promising locations have Leen
taken up and partially developed, and it

is expected that several mills for treating
ore will be in operation this year. i The
prospect of gold mining in this di4trict
will no doubt promote settlement o' the
rich agricultural lands in the Rainy: River
valley.
A bill will be laid before you containing
some supplementary provisions which the
experience of the Last general election has
indicated to be desirable in the elet:tion
laws. The Registration of Voters' Act of
last session with respect to cities, ha ing
worked satisfactorily, you will be askdd to
consider the propriety of extending its
operations to towns.
Your attention will be invited, to a
measure designed to lessen the numberof
appeals in the courts of the Province; and
otherwise to simplify the proceedi'figs of
the High and Superior Courts; a measure
to provide, in matters of Provincial juris-
diction, that where jurors are not unanim-
ous, ten jurors may, give a verdict,and
some other measures of law reform.
You will further be asked to consider
bills for extending the benefit of ± the
Factory Act and the Children's Protection
Act; for revising and consolidating the
Acts relating to agriculture, and the sects
relating to Mechanics' Institutes and Free
Libraries.
The Supreme Court of Canada having
held that the Province has no power to
pass a prohibitory liquor law, my Govern-
ment is taking the necessary proceedings
for an
appeal pp to Her Majesty's P,rivy
Council upon this question, and the appea-1
is expected to be beard and disposed of be-
fore the end of the present year.
In accordance with the promise made to
the House last session, I appointed a Com-
mission to collect and report the facts
bearing on the views which havebeenex-
pressed with respect to the mode of remun-
erating and appointing certain provincial
officials now paid by fees and with respect
o the extent of the remuneration they
hould receive, including in regard to the
aid matters respectively the practice and
xperience of other countries. The corn-
nissioners have pursued their task with
iligence and have made full inquiry into
he matters referred to therm. The report
s about completed and will soon be placed
n your hands for your consideration, with
view to such legislation as may appear to
e proper.
The question of the maintenance of
Government House at the expense of the
rovince will no doubt receive your earn
stattention; and I trust that the policy
hich may be adopted will be such as may
rove to be generally satisfactory.
Since the last session the main building
f the Brockville Asylum has been com-
leted, and patients were admitted before
le end of the year, relieving thereby the
owded condition of some of the other in•
itutions.
ram pleased to be able to inform you
let considerable progress has been made

whom were submitted all questions re -
ting to the unsettled accounts between

d Quebec, and between the two proven-
s, and that all the parties interested
ve shown their sincere desire to have
e differences between them settled
eedily and amicably.
The Public Accounts for the year just

ward of $100 for information relative
to the young man is offered by Alexan-

Annan. department manager tment of
the house. Lamprey boarded for near-
ly a year with Mrs. Getman; 508 Wash-
ington boulevard. He was credited
with exemplary habits
and while
pre-
serving the society of his male friends,
was always courteous to the oppo
site sex. The night he disappeared
he left the impression at the house eith-
er that he would call on a tliss Dat is
or on a friend on the north side: He
never reached either place. He was
dressed in a business suit and took
nothing with him that would indicate
any intention of making a prolonged
absence. Detectives have Iearued from
Mrs. Graham that, while Mr ,Lamprey
was of cheerful disposition, he would
brood over trifles, and often seemed
fond of solitude, passing hours away
from 'Aber inmates of the house, ap-
parently in gloomy thought. It has
been learned, too, that the nay he dis
appeared he drew $20u, which he gave
to Mr. McRae, an old family friend,
who hid invested his savings. He
had a diamond ring, of a peculiar set-
ting which he always wore, and he car
ri'd several gold pocket pieces, one a
$20 coin, which, it is thought, aggreg-
ated COO in value. These, it is sur-
mised may have induced robbery. No
eause for suicide car be discovered,
Nothing is known of family antscedei.ts
which may throw light on this question
His friends generally fear that he has
been killed for his valuables. They
will couti.,ue their search, although
deyoided of much hope
