THE principle of Home Rule is named. The Republicans are in
making some progress in England.
It is announced that the Local Goy-
ernment Bill, in its final form, as
adopted by the Cabinet, creates new
county boards on a purely elective
basis --the condition of suffrage at
elections of members of boards to be
the same as at Parliamentary elec-
tions. These boards are to have
entire control of the police forces
within their jurisdictions, and they
are also to issue and annul publi-
cans' licenses. The ncluption of the
principle of local option is accom-
panied with a provision for the com-
pensation of publicans for the loss
of their licenses, unless these privi-
leges are to be annulled in conse-
quence of violations of the law.
THE speech from the Throne,
which appears in another column, is
short and to the point. We pre-
sume that it does net embody or
foreshadow all the legislatiure that
may be undertaken by the Govern-
ment :during the session. I, is very
unlike the document Mr. Mowat
put into the handof the Lieutenant
Governor at the opening of the
Legislature the other day. Mr.
Mowat's rigmarole was longer, of
course. It contained a lot of useless
matter, both in praise of himself
and in ridicule of the Dominion
Goternment. While on the 'other
hand that of the Dominion Govern-
ment was confined to the business
of the session and nothing more.
And, because the speech from the
Throne did not occupy a couple of
columns the Reform press think it a
meagre affair.
taken as sincere and filial, or as
simply intended to leave the conyen•
tion freedom of action. Many of
the most influential Republicans in.
elle e to the latter view. Mr. Chaun-
cey M. Depew, of New York, says
that if the convention should nomin•
ate Mr. Blaine he could not refuse
to lead the party. One excuse, and
only one, would be accepted—that
of sickness. Mr. Depew further ex-
presses the opinion that Mr. Blaine
wrote the letter mainly to dispel the
idea that he was seekieg the nomin.
don. Mr. Blaine once said that
"In a country of fifty five millions
of people no man can come as near
a uommation for the Presidency as
I have done, and, tailing then, ever
to be elected afterward to the office.'
That was a fixed belief and it is
stronger to -day than ever before.
And what will be the outcome of the
Blaiue's withdrawal cannot yet be
determined. it will, of course, stim-
ulate the hopes and activity of Sen •
ator Sherman and other avowed can-
didates, and it will probably bring
into the field a number of iiew aspi-
rants, but it is quite possible that
the real choice has not yet been
named. Just now Republican senti-
ment in the north appears to be
about equally divided between Judge
Gresham,Senator Sherman, Senator

in the Reform papers concerning
the wheat blockade in Manitoba, es'•

almost as desolate a state as are the
Reformers of this Dominion.
MR. BLAKE in his eight hour
speech in 1886 against the Pacific
Railway policy of the Government
declared that the only proper man-
ner in which to build the road, was
to construct the prairie section first
leaving the west and east ends of
the road for future consideration,
until after (the present year) 1888.
It would take, he said until the year
1890 to have the middle sections in
running order; and that the grain
product of the country would not be
so large that it could not be brought
down to Port Arthur to be shipped
by water trom that port. Mr. Blake
and the opposition press have al-
ways entertained scanty opinions of
Manitoba and the North West
territories as a field for settlement.
In 1887 Manitoba and the North
west territories produced about
fifty millions of bushels of surplus
gram; and notwithstanding this, to-
gether with the fact of having a
through line to the eastern sea-
board, there is continual grumbling
by a click in Winnipeg, because the
C.P:R. does not move the surplus
quicker. Had the plan of the
Opposition been adopted, whereby
Manitoba and the North-west Ter-
ritories would have been excluded
from the rest of the world for at
least five months of the year, and
their surplus crops taken to Port
Arthur and left there during the
winter to await shipment when
navigation opened, what would the
Winnipeg mal -contents have
thought of the Ljberal party? Talk
about a !ittle jarring under the
ptesent state of affe irs. There
would have been an uprising of
great magnitede, if the feelieg at
present as drscribed by the Liber-
als can be taken as a criterion. It
is not at all straege that the Liberal
party of Ontario coincide with the
Winnipeg egirators in their warfare

1 yenture to hope, be considered by you as
honorable and satisfactory to b.ith nations.
The ti eaty, with papers and correspon-
dence relating thereto, will be laid before
you, and Srou will be invited to adopt a
measure to give effect to its provisions.
The extension and development of our
system of railways have not only rendered
necessary additional safe guards -forlife and
property, but have given greater frequency
to questions in which the interests of rival
companies are found to be in conflict, and
to require authoratative adjustment. As
further legislation appears to be needed for
these purposes, a measure will be submitted
to you :for the consideration ;and improve-
ment of the railway act.

ments are required to make the provisions

amendment of that statute 'rhe act ,

wise require attention, with a view to the
removal of certain questions of interpreta-
tion which have arisen and which should be
set at rest.
My Government has availed itself of the
opportunity afforded by the recess to con-
sider the numerous suggestions which have
been made for improving the details of the
act respecting the electoral franchise, and a
measure will be submitted to you for the
purpose of simplifying the law and greatly
lessening the cost of its operations.
The growth of the North-west territories
renders expedient improvement in the
system:of government ;and legislation affec-
ting these portions of the Dominion, and a
bill for that purpose will be laid before you.
A bill will be submitted to you to make a
large portion of the modern laws of England
applicable to the Province of Manitoba and
to the North-west Territories, in regard
to matters which are within the control of
the Parliament of Canada,w

dian legislation.
Amon other measures bills will be
presented to you relating to the judiciary,
to the civii service and to the audits of the
public accounts.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons.
The accounts for the past year will be
laid before you as well as the estimates for
the ensuing year. They have been pre-
pared with a due regard to economy and
the requirements of the public service.
Honorable Gentlesnen of the Senate and
Gentlemen of the House of Commons.
I commend these important subjects and
all matters affecting the public interest
which may be brought before you to your
best consideration, and I feel assured that
you will address yourselves to them with
earnestness and assiduity.

ln a Nutshell.
The following is the argument for com-
mercial annexation in a nutshell.
Pretection is an evil because it makes
articles of consumption dearer than they
would be under free trade, The
proof is that in the United States
where protective duties are higher than
in Canada, goods are dearer than in
Canada.'
Commercial Union with the United i
States is necessary, because with commer-
cial union we could buy cheap goods in
the United States where they are dearer
than they are in Canada.
Commercial union with the United
States would benefit Canada, because it
would stop the purchase of goods in
Great Britain, where free trade has made
them cheap, and compel us to buy in the
United States, where protection has made
them dear.
The nation from which we do not buy
will not buy from us Consequently, if
we do not buy from them. Britain will not
buy grain, cheese, cattle and lumber in
Canada. We shall then be compelled to
sell all our agricultural and other surplus
products in the United States, which
already produces more of such articles
than the people.can consume.
Interior Department.
Ottawa, Feb. 27, -Tho report of Department
of the Interior was laid on the table of the
House this afternoon. The statement of
homesteads ore-emptions, entries and sales
made at agencies during the year is: - Home-
stead, 319,500 acres; pre -emotions, 87,747;
sales, 114,544. This is a reduction ascomner-
rid with previous years in pre•emptimig, but a
large increase of homesteads by Admit set tiers.
The information furnished by Mr. Metcalf,
Ohief of the Intelligent Office Company shows
6000 more immigrants than in the previous
year. The claims to land under the Manitoba
Act have been near ly all finally closed. On

A large specimen of Canadian panth r
was shot on the 14th concession ot Elma
in the County of Perth, on the morning
of February 22. The animal had been a
terror to the neighbors ot thatsettlement
for some time past. It has killed sheep
Iambs and other animals in great num-
bers, it was shot on the day mentioned
by a young man named Wm. Tyndall.
At the time he shot it it was in the act
of devouring a horse.
The criminal assault case of Rowe vs.
Paton, of Parkhill, has iaken a new
turn. The plaintiff, Miss Rowe, left
very suddenly tor Michigan, and Detec-
tives Allan and Graham, learning that
she had received money for going, have
arrested John Paton and Thomas Smith
both of McGillivray, and related to the
defendant, and Geo. Rowe, of the same
township, a relative of the complainant,
on a charge of conspiracy to defeat the
ends of justice. The prisoners were re-
manded and jailed at London Friday by
J. P. Peters.
One day last week Mr. Wm. Barnes,
of the 18th con., East Williams; was en-
gaged hauling a load of saw logs to Mr.
Parsons' saw mill, Nairn, and in going
down the hill leading to the niill, the
break which he had on the sleigh did
not do its requirete duty, and as a con-
sequence, horses, sleighs, logs and driv-
er were spilt oyer the embankment.
Upon examination it was found that
the animals escaped with a few bruises,
and the driver escaped with an awful
scare.
The death of Catharine Doyle, of :Mc-
Gillivray, is announced, aged 84 years.
Deceased was one of the early settlers
of the Huron tract, and lived the great-
er part of her life in McGillivray
Coming to the country when it was yet
a woods, and assisted by her husband,
who is still living hale and hearty at the
age of 94, in company an independent
home was striven for and gained. But
like the ripened apple, the time for fall-
ing came and another of the early pio-
neers has gone to her reward. Highly
respected in life her death is deeply re-
gretted by many relatives, friends and
neighbors in McGillivray and Biddulph.
