In brief, the scheme is to educate the young on the question, and by pointing out the evils which follow the use of alcoholic stimulants and narcotics teach the rising generation to avoid the twin curses. The Miriister of Education will be asked to place a text boot: bearing on the question in the schools, and the co-operation of the public is asked in thi respect. We also be- lieve it is the intention to place temperance literature in the Mechanics' Institutes and public libraries. it will be observed that the movement is of a purely educational character, slid for that reason we believe it will meet with the approval of everyone who appreciates in the slightest degree the evils for which strong drink acid narcotics are re- sponsible. Those who conscientiously oppose everything in the shape of coercion in this connection, can without scruple, and in most cases we believe will with pleasure, sub- scribe :o the new movement. Right here we might remark that temperance advocates too often make the mistake of classing all who do not believe iu sumptuary laws as enemies of temperance. Now we know scores of tetotallers and risen who seldom or never touch intoxicants who are sincerely anxious to promote the cause of temperance, but who are opposed to everything in the shape of prohibition. The influence and the moral and substantial support of this class should not be overlooked but be carefully sought by the ladies. "Sugar catches more flies than vinegar," and men can be persuaded to do something for temperance when they cannot be driven. The new scheme will meet the approbation of the majority of the people. OLEOLARD AND OLEOMARGINE. The adulteration of lard by the addition of cotton seed oil is now carried on to a great extent.. Messrs. Armour Ss Co., the great Chicage pork packers and lard ease ,.iii lnat4b y use akro.at. one-fifth of all the'cotton seed oil now pro- duced, or about= a million gallons annual- ly. All this is sold by diem as lard. Other manufacturers use large quantities also. By the sale of oleomargarine as butter, and of a mixture of cottcn seed oil and lard as lard, injustice is done to the public and great injury is done to the farmers. Not only is the home market of the United States seriously affected, but the foreign market also is rendered less valuable to the farmer. The exports of oleomargarine from the United States rose last year to over 35,250,000 pounds, and the export of butter, which in 1880 was 39,250,000 pounds, fell to less than 14,500,000. Cotton seed oil is used in making cheese also, much to the injury of those who still produce the genuine article. Farmers of Canada and the buy- ers of butter and lard ought to be and will be protected against these frauds. The injury caused to the agricultural in- terests by the exportation of the stuff into Canada, is immense, and the Gov- ernment will not be slow to remedy the evil, by prohibiting its entry under any consideration. At Iast session, the Government passed a bill, lxohibit- ing the manufacture of oleomargarine in Canada, and placedhigh duties upon its importation. Notwithstanding this, a considerable amount is yet sent in. eks it is exceedingly difficult to distinguish well -made oleomargarine from'butter, and as it is equally difficult to distinguish adulterated lard from that which is pure, it thought that the only ]node by which those articles can be excluded from our markets is by the imposition of prohibit- ory duties not only on the spurious articles but also on all that is called butter or pard, EDITOR IAL NOTES.

Of these 471,235 were actually pupils in attendan ee on the public and separate schools. This shows an increase of 5,801, as compared with 1884e But it is considerably short of the number actually attending school in 1870, amount, ing to 489,064. Since that time the number steadily decreased until 1883, when the pupils only numbered 402,8S7. The falling off is partly accounted for by the rush to Manitoba, but the wide margin between the total school population and the actual at- tendance shows that a large class do not take advantage of our school system, some, no dmibt, because they attend private schools, but ilore by reason of poverty be the neglect of their'parasits.

TISE frequency of terrible railroad cat. astrophies owing to the nae of stoves passenger cars, of which the accident at White River Junction is the latest in- stance, has at length, induced the railroad authorities to seriously investigate the practicability of heating cars by stam or electricity. .Several successful experi- ments in steam -heating have been made on different lines in the United States. The process works satisfactorily as regards the distribution of heat, and effects a considerable saving of cost. In one case, however, an explosion ensued, resulting in considerable damage, showing that, like most inventions, it has not been brought all at once to perfection. • Of course the Toronto Standard was not a Tory campaign sheet !

The principal increases are in the items of expenditure on capital account, such as public buildings, increased from $155,720 to $226,893 ; colonization roads, On which $145,213 was expended as against $121,435 in '35 ; and public works, the outlay on which is increased by about $13,000. I is the intention of Ma.,Waters,. North 'lllidci1esex, during this session to insis" . upon a vote ou his bill to further extend the chise to women, and there is a strong proba bility that a majority of the House will hold up his hands. The feeling in favor of the enfranchisement of women is growing every- where. Events haye amply justifiedthe ex- tension of the municipal suffrage to widows and untnarried women in Ontario, and there is a strong reason to believe that a still further extension of the voting privilege in this direction would produce still better re- sults. SIR HECTOR LANGEVIN states that there was not one word of truth in the report that Sir John would shortly resign the Premiership and succeed Sir Charles Tupper as Canada's High Commissioner. at London. It is hardly probable that Sir John would take a position subordin- ate to the one he now holds, as would be the case if he appointed himself high commissioner. And it is quite probable that ex -speaker Kirkpatrick will be ap- pointed to the position of High Commis - for Canada in England. THE TORONTO NEWS, of Friday, says : Our Provincial legislators sat just a quar- ter of an hour yesterday.. No doubt, fol- lowing their usual .custom, they will ad- journ early this afternoon to allow mem- bers to return to their homes over Sunday. On Monday there will probably be a thin house, owing to many of them having failed to return. And so it goes. One clay after another is wasted on some pretext or another, and the session is either dragged out to an unconscionable' lengh or legislation is rushed through hastily at the close without careful con- sideration.

SHOULD the Butterworth bill providing for complete reciprocity between Canada and the United States be passed in the United States Congress and become law, it will be a feather in the cap of the Con- servative party of this country. As all intelligent and well informed Canadians know, protection is not considered by the Conservative party as the best thing to promote the urosperity of a country, but was adopted in selfdefence. when the policy of protection was first advocated by Sir John Macdonald, he stated that he preferred reciprocity and expressed a hope that it would be given by the people of the United States when they realized that under protection we could manage to get along comfortably without their trade. Had he concurred with Mr. Mac- kenzie in the idea that the jug -handled free trade which we "enjoyed" prior to protection, was good for the country, and that there was nothing to do but sit still and wait until our neighbors were good enough to lower their tariff for our bone - fit, we should never have heard of a But- terworth bill or any other measure of reciprocity. Canada would have been completely at the mercy of the United States ; they would not have given us a valuable privilege when we had nothing to give in return. But with a protective tariff in Canada levied on United States productions, the case is altered. It is an object to then to have the tariff removed, and the only way to accomplish that pur pose is by a removal of their own barriers. The Butterworth bill inay not become law now, but that free trade ideas should spread amongst so enlightened a people as our neighbors is natural under the con- stantly changing conditions of their country. When protection was adopted in the United States the conditions of the two countries were wholly dissimilar. They hacl just emerged from a calamitous war which had left a monument of nation- al indebtedness, Everything was twice or thrice as high as in Canada, and with only a moderate .tariff against us we could have undersold their factories in their own markets: But this condition of af- fairs has gradually changed, and we now find wages and raw material standing at about the sarne figures in both countries,. and a change in public sentiment regard- ing protection may not unnaturally be looked for as a consequence. If free in- tercourse between the two nations should result, credit will be due the authors of protection in Canada—the Conservaive Governrn ent.
