Perhaps there is no eubject upon Whieb the average Briton is more ig- norant than that of the ITIC01,11e Of the King 91 Queen of the great Empire over which floats the Union Jack. The salary of the President of the United States is $50,000 a year, paia divectly by the people ont oT the taxee. The siun is olio for his purely persmial wants, the expenses of the White }louse being 'mk1 also by the people from year to year, as well iTs that of all state GOVern01,9, and Lieutenant Governors. When these are taken in- to consideration the great expense of the rulers in the republic; to the south of ns will at once become apparent. And also the fact that it comes yearly out of the pockets of the people. It is not generally known that the King of England does not cost the people any- thing, but that his estate, known as the Crown property, is a large source of income to the nation. Yet such is the fact. Regent street, London, be- longs to the Cro'vn and when the pre- sent ground leases fall in it will be a great increase in the revenue of the Kingdom and make glad the heart of some future chencellor of the Exche- quor, which office corresponds to our Minister of Finance. The Prince of Wales is voted a certain sum by Par- liament, but he is voted it out of whit is properly his 0 WIl money as Dukesof Cronwall and Lancaster. The first named title with its estates have be- longed to tbe oldest son of the King since 1837, being granted. by Edward 111. A century and a half before the discovery of America. The estates of the duchy of Lancaster carne to the Crown from Henry Bolingbroke; son of John of Gaunt, founder of the royal line of Kings, known as the Lancas- trians, whose red emblem was one badge in the wars of the Roses. To say that we have the cheapest mon- archy in the world is a poor way to put the statement. We have a mon- archy that not only costs nothing, but brings to the country a large revenue besides. One other feature also is the most staikieg and that is the personal economy of the royal family. While public incomes are being increased all the world over on account of the in- creased cost of living and Cabinet Ministers, Judges and Legislators are clamoring for more pay the royal fam- ily of Britain has decreased its person- -al expenses more than one half. To live'a king or prince should now read to live like a bank president, or rail- way magnate. George III. (not an ex- travagant or luxarious mouarch) first Press Gallery. Parliament 13uildiegs, March Oth. ',three or four subjeets which engag- ed the tittention of the members Of the Ontario LegisleLuve during the present week are ot unusual importance and sheald have -more than a passing' no- tice. These are the remarkable ad- dresses by Mr. Whitney, the efforts of some of the private members of the Opposition, the declarations made by the Government that no action was to be taken t9 punish the criminals who operated in the West Elgin and North 1\raterloo elections and the temerity of the GoVernment in connection with the University question. But even an exteeded acemaiiii of thesesubjects gives but the shadow of things as they are here in Toronto. The substauce is a Government which is inoperative, discredited and tremb- ling. One could with difficulty believe that such a difference could exist be- tween members of two parties. The Liberal membersanake no secret of the fact that they are sitting for the last time on the Government side of the House and many of them have read the writing on the wall and know that they will never sit in the. upholstered chair, aud write the triple letters after their names again. This condition of affairs has resulted in a different atti- tude among the members of the two parties and on the other side there is fear and trembling, want of confidence in every act and dread in every bill. On the other hand there is a remark- able buoyancy in the opposition,an admirable enthusiasm which makes it at once interesting and very strong. So whenever one reads the description of the proceedings at Legislature let him keep in his mind this picture. - A Government with members shrinking, and much afraid, and an opposition 'aggressive and very confident Ib is difficult to give in a few para- graphs a summary of the address which Mr. Whitney- delivered in the. House. It was one of the brightest speeches that has been delivered in Legislative Halls and taken with Col. Matheson's the two form a front which cannot he broken. No member has attempted to answer the financial exposition made byr Col. Matheson, so Mr. Whitney de- voted much of his time to a discussion of the questions before the public. His speech was a comhinaton, a lash it proved to bc,which made the members of the Government shrink and wince, and at the same time there was a glimpse of the bright days to come, when dishonesty and incapacity would be reproved and the party of right pre- vailed. A few gems in that speech may be taken from their beautiful setting and placed here in their unconnected form. Fle pointed out that the Premier in his speech had admitted that the. Goveen- ment had secured its railway policy from the opposition and though. the Premier hesitated and interrupted he was forced to admit the statement. The Government pays $775,000 for ed- ucation and boasts of it, but the State of New York .with little more than double the population spends $47,000,- 000 annually. "The Premier has said that it has to spend money to keep the people of On- tario straight." Said Mr. Whitney, "It Would be better if they spent a little more in sending to jail some of the men by whose acts members of the Goyeenment now sit in the Treasury benches." Mr. Whitney pointed out how time after time the Government had stolen the policy of the opposition. The Gov- ernment had stolen the saw log policy, the policy of a travelling dairy, the policy of Farmers' Institute meetings and the present election act. He point- ed out the unsatisfactory condition of the University and of the Educational Policy. Upon this question of educa- tion the opposition speak with no un- certain sound and of their policy on this question is statesmanlike. Let the province of Ontario first take thought of the public school and the pupils at the public school and when satisfactory reforms are made then turn to the University. Had the Con- servatives been in power during the last six years there w9u1d have been no university question now, and the public school would have been improv- ed and made efficient. The sameline of statesmanship runs through the entire policy of the Oppo- sition. The members are close to the people who send them to Parliament and the leaders of it have the ear of the farmer and the manufactureen- In law reform Mr. Whitney says lessen the expense and do away with allathe machinery whnila costs money and stands in the way of the poor man obtaining even handed justice. So too with agriculture. Let there be not one agricultural college in one corner of elle province,but many agricultural schools in different parts of the province and a second agricultural college where the finances permitted. The money which the Ontario Government spent in securing a commission to whitewash the criminals in ,West Elgin would have gone a long way to establishing a second college of Agriculture. Many more things did Mr. Whitney indicate in his admirable address but the same strong cord goes through it all. , The policy' of Opposition is one which would give new life to the PrO- vince of Ontario because it aims at new and efficient and honest methods and every move would be just what the people needed. This is not a question of politics or rather not a question of political par- ties but it is one of right and wrong. The Ontario Government d6es not have the' confideece of the people who supported it. The people of Ontario shrink in shame ftom the answer which the Attoreey-General gave to Mr. Whitney, early laat week. The Attorney -General said that the Government would not investigate ballot -switching .and dishonest work done in the North Wentworth elec- tion. ' That was the contest which was pereonally directed by Hon. Mr.Davis, Minister of Crown Lands. The out- rages there were even more repulsive than in West Elgin bat not all the guilty one were to go free. Nor Nveic , • . ..give up the Crown property iind-ac- ceptecl a yearly civil list of $4.000,000, which was 'afterwards increased by half a million inpre. Queen Victoria accepted $1,900,000 as her civil list; less than half that of George III. of which only $300,000 is for her private purse. And it is out of this reduced income that she has saved by careful management and economy that sum which has astonished the world by its smallness and forms the money be- queathed in her will. The more we learn about the Queen the more we .are called upon to admire not only her greatness as a monarch aud womau, but also her business capacity- as well.

Mr. Stratton spoke after Mr. Whitney and delivered a stump speech. Mr. Stratton is a new man in the cabinet, but he hes ambi- tionfor the Premiership and does not hesitate to give vent to his desires in a blunt form.

Harcourt it is said will be dropped before another election comes around. Altogether the cabinet isnot a loving One. The members of the Opposition have been busy during the past week in getting private and public bills in shape. They are all hard and industrious members and are always watching the needs of their constituents. A strong able body of men they are and the only fault is that in membees they are about a dozen too few. KILLED NEAR IONA.

As Mr. Justice Lount was about to call the first case on the docket, Mr. Gar - row rose and said he was deputed to present an address to His Lordship.

Yon are no stranger to us. We have long known you as an industrious, painstaking and eminently fair Crown Counsel at many assizes in Goderich. Your eminence at the Bar, as for many years one of its leaders,and your long and varied experience as Solicitor, Counsel and Legislator, made your ele- vation a most fitting one, upon which you not alone, but the Province is to be congratulated. The Province,fortunately,has always in the past gloried with good reason in the high character and attainments of its judges. We feel that it is not being, unduly fulsome, but merely expressing an hceest conviction, based upon long and 'somewhat intimate association with you, when we say we recoguize in you a fit and worthy successor tro the able and distinguished judges who have preceded you in the High Court Bench of this Province. That you may be premitted by Pro- vidence to spend many useful years in your new career with mutual advant- age to yourself and the Province, is our fervent hope. judge Lount made a brief, though feeling reply, mentioning his many visits to the county, the ability of the Huron bar, and the great attainments of the Judge whom he had been ap- pointed to succeed -the late Judge Rose. He conoluded by thanking the Bar of Ruron for the kindly address presented him. His Lordship then took the docket, but as there were no cases ready for trial, -he adjourned the court to 9.30 a.m. Wednesday.

The evidence of Robert Newell and' George Dwyer, the men who drove Sharpe to Davis' house on the night of the murder, tgreed, And was that they drove Sharpe to Davis' house on Wednesday evening, he tell- ing them that he wanted to trade guns with Davis. They let Sharpe out at the house, and drove to the barn where Davis was. They had just reached the barn when they -heard a shot, and - immediately attervvarcls Sharpe joined them. Davis asked him what he had done. Ile replied: "I have fixed the man that stole my wife," Sharpe then ordered thenx to drive him back home, and, being afraid to refuse, they did so, and returned to Newell's where they stayed all night. In the morning Robert Newell drove Shiirpe to his home, where be eecined bis,eftects and took them to Mr. Hub- bel's. They then drove .to ,James Robb's, a magistrate of Hummer town- ship, where Sharpe gave himself up. Stephen Davis said that Sharpe told him that he came prepared 'to shoot the woman also, but could not find her. The jury, after a few minutes, brought in a verdict of, 'wilful and premedi- tated murder." Sharpe was then coni- Mitted to the county jail at Peterboro to await his trial at the spring assizes.
