EDITORIAL NOTES.
Ix Calgary the sum of $125,000
was expanded last year in building
operations and the chances are that
this year an equal amounts will be
spent.
MR. BLAKE, in his own words,
"could wish that there were among
us greater union and love as fellow -
Canadians." This sounds sweet, but,
the hon. gentleman proposes to create
love and union by setting section'
against eeotion, and trealiug one race
as he would not treat another.
THE purpose of the reference in the
Lieut. Governor's speech to the un-
settled a000uuta between Ontario and
Quebec is being accomplished. A.
Belleville paper speaks of "the delay
and refusal of the Dominion author -
Wee to square up acoonnts." The
' fact is the Dominion authorities have
little to do with the question, and the
delay is entirely attribute to the pro•
vinces. Ontario delayed for some
considerable time, and in 1884 the
trouble was with Quebec. The speech
makes no reference to delay by Do-
minion authorities, but it is so word.
ed as to suggest that the Dominion
authorities are culpable.

The following resolutions were un-
animously carried:—
That the Liberal Conservatives of
Parkhill desire to express their grati-
fication at the return of their grand
old chief, Sir John Macdonald, from
Britain, with renewed health and
vigor, as well as additional honors,
and to place on record their great
admiration for the leaders of the Con•
servative party in Canada—led by
the chief --to whore untiring devotion
and patriotism Canada owes position
to -day; to whose indefatigable energy
and pluck she is indebted for the
Pacific—a railway which has bound
the scattered Provinces into a nation
—made accessible homes for millions
of settlers, and is one of the wonders
of the world.
That the action of Sir John Mac-
donald and his Cabinet—particularly
the Frenoh-Canadian members --
merits the admiration of the Cana-
dian people, for its manly and right-
eous course, under mast difficult cir-
cumstances, in the trial and execution
of the rebel Riel. And we desire to
express our deep regret that men call-
ing themselves Reformers in this
country should seek to make political
capital against a government for do-
ing right, and for vindicating the
laws.
That Sir Adolph Caron, the Minis-
ter of Militia, has, iu addition to the
honors so deservedly won from the
hands of his Sovereign and the ad-
miration of other nations, earned the
undying gratitude of the Canadian.

country during the unhappy North-
