This is rather cruel of Ur. Blake's

Premier of Ontario, after he has be-
uedtted members of the brigade and
their relatives iu sundry ways, ffnau-
cially. They claim to bo "the

the principles which they advocated
as a state policy in '70, '77, and '80,
namely, "the enfranchisement of the
industrious Indians, and in their
opinion this was the only means by.
whish the Indians could be elevated."
The present Bill, although liberal,
does not go far enough. It should
have included all male citizens of the
age of 21, liable to be called upon to
bear arms for the country's defence.
Such a measure would have taken in
a number of young men who are now
at the fornt risking their lives in the
country's defense, and it is a privi-
lege whish they deserve.

THE Montreal Wittiest (Grit) ob-
serves that 'the Opposition has been
reduced to the last resort of wasting
the time of Parliament with empty
words."
A Goon sign that the present in-
surrection in the North-west does not
affect immigration, is, that eighty-
five young English farmers arrived at
Montreal last Saturday, and left by
the Canadianraoifio in the evening
to settle on land in the Northwest.
It is stated that many more of their
friends are to follow immediately.
THE Regina Leader lets in some
light on the many sensational rumors
of Indian and breed uprisings in the
North West. Ids editor says: "The
scrambling for troops to be stationed
at different points in the Territories,
when there was no 000aeion for them,
in order that a little money might be
spent in the stores, is another inci-
dent. worthy of note. Farming in.
structors have been reported killed
and Indians on the warpath in sec-
tions as secureas the city of Toronto,
and on the unprincipled alarmists

people, the latter have been told "not

want the money sent here."

Herat. Russia has been saying all
along, with diplomatic shrewdness,
that she wants peace; but if yon can
read between the lines of Iter des-
patches to England you see that she
wants Herat also, and proposes to
have it even if she fights for it. She
is constantly covering up the tracks
of her army; and when we suddenly
find her in a new place, as at Penjdeh
or possibly Maruohak, it becomes
more and more clear that while Eng-
land wastes time in hesitation Russia
makes good use of it by a steady ad.

Mo. BLASE poses 9,9 a serious man.
He has complained of waste of time.
He has blamed the Government for
bringing down the Franchise bill late
in the seesicn—though this is the
third cession it has been before the
House. He has professed to be wil-
ling to strengthen the hands of the
Government. He wishes the people
of Canada to consider him a man fit
for high station, and competent to
govern the country. Yet he deliber-
ately wastes the time of' Parliament
by reading irrelevant matter for an
hour, in his "delicate state of health,

Few people ever atop to consider
the extent and value of the cheese in-
terest of Canada. Even well-inform-
ed business men, who generally pay
some attention to manufacturing eta -
tidies, are not prepared to (relieve
that the value of cheese exported last,
year did not fall very mush behind
the value of alt the ;barley, beans,
oats, peas, rye and. wheat' whish this
country exported during the same
period. Yet suoh is the fact. The
cheese industry has grown to its pre-
sent large proportions entirely under
proteotion. Before the National
Polley it was well protected. The
cheese interest would be a good sub.
jest for our free-traders to disease.

Another forward movement of the

Mandi has dismissed the Emir of
Berber from his service.
The Queen and Princess Beatrice
returned to England from the conti-
nent Saturday evening and stave gone
to Windeor Castle. The Queen has
ordered that the approaching mar-
riage of Princess Beatrice be solemn-
ized without ostentation.
It has been observed that Premier
Gladstone's policy, as set forth in his
Monday night speech in the Commons:
"First, all means lo save; and then,
all means to crush." This is the
motto which is put into the mouth of
Riohelieu by Billed.
The International Eihibilion was
opened at Antwerp Sasurday by King
Leopold, assisted by the Queen and
other members or the royal family,
together with Cabinet Minietora and
foreign diplomatic representatives.
Seven thousand speotatore were pre-
sent.
The Russian exchequer is in a bad
oondition to have war imposed upon
it, For several years the expendi-
tures have exceeded the receipts, the
deficits in 1888 and 1884 being about
10,000,000 each year. The estimat-
ed income for' the present year is
$390,000,000, and the expenditure
$400,000,000. The former, however,
1s manifestly too large, while the lat.
ter is acknowledged to be too low.
The interest charged alone on the pub-`
lis debt is about $100,000,000.
