THURSDAY, MARCH 22nd, 1888, RETROGRESSION. • The Reformers in days gone by were strong advocates of abolish- ing Downing -street rule and stren. uously maintained that the dis. allowance of measures passed by the Legislatures of this conntry should be taken entirely from the control of those advisers of I -ler Majesty they being at too great a distance and not aware of the legislation uecessary to the best interests of this country. Anil at the,time of confederation this right exercised by.the home authorities was consigned to the Federal Government, virtually giving us the sole control of our own affairs. The people of On- tario will now, no doubt, be sur- prised to know that the premier of this Province, the other day, hack- ed by every Reform representative in the House—forgetful of the past history of the Reform pa,rty,forget- ful of their old platform and forget- ful of their country's interests,— neroted to go back again to Down— ing-street rule, deeming it the best mode ot dealing with the legislation of the Province, thereby giving up our acquired rights of self govern merit to officials whom are in DO way responsible to the country. Mr. Mowat and his subordinates at Toronto have actually voted want of confidence in the people of Ontario, for with them rests the power ot making the Federal Gov. ernment at Ottawa in which is vested the right of disallowance; and therefore deems the citizens of Ontario unworthy ot the right of self -Government by placing on the statute books a resolution that officials at Downing -street shall govern our affairs. It is somewhat singular, too, •that Mr. Mowat tyrannically refused to allow the. yeas and nays of the vote in refer- ence to this resolution to be re- corded in the journals of the House. THE GLOBE et al MANITO- BA. The daily Globe of one day last week •contained an editorial to which public attention • shuuld be called. In an undisguised way it says that the people of Manitoba have more cause for rebellion than the Iudians and IVIetis had when they rebelled, and actually in a covert way advises the Manitobans to rebel. Now that was just the way the Globe talked to and abont the people on the Saskatchewan a few year ago. What did the Globe tnake either for itself oi its party by its former action? Dis. credited in the eyes of all loyal people of this Dominion. What does it hope to gain by its present attitude? ;Surely experience should haze taught it that it and its party (if it is the party organ) will meet the same tate again. But of late years the Globe ap- pears infatuated. It is continually saying the most ridiculous, incon- sistent and disloyal things. Ana it is followed in this course by num- bers of othernape,s itt th*Dorninion notably the Winnipeg Free Press. It is only too evident that the Globe, simply arid solely, for the purpose of injuring Sir John Mac- donald and his Government, would be only too glad to have a rebellion in Manitoba or anywhere else. Let anyone --Grit or Tory -- calmly sit down and read the re- cent expressions of that paper on the Manitoba difficulty and he will be fully convinced of the Globe'purpose. It is carrying partyism far be— yond its legitimate bounds, and it is time for the people of this country to mark their -disapproval of this course in unmistakable manner. No wonder the Globe is a pigmy compared with itself in the the old Geo. Brown days. And just so long as the Globe purstes its present course, its path will be downward, till ere long its sioks into utter oblivion. If the Globe would only change its course and invariably steed by its coute iry in preference to itsparty hatred there is still a large field of useful - nets for it. But just so long as the Globe and its party spend their time and abilities in decrying their cotmtry they will find that their country will give thein the cold Shoulder. EDITORIAL NOTES.

CoaneseoNnexce bas been going on for some time .between the Do- minion and Newfoundland aethori- ties looking to the admission of the latter into the Confederation. A union of all the British North Amer- ican possessions has been the desire of Sir John Macdonald's lifetime, and there is now a prospect that he will soon witness the realisation of his hopes. A GREAT deal has been said about the disallowance of provincial bdis by the Dominion Government. When we come to examine closely into the matter we find that the veto power has been used very little.. Since confederation, nearly twenty two years, the Ontario Leg- islature have passed 2012 acts, and of these the Dominion Government have only disallowed the small number of eight, which includes the three disallowances of one bill, se that in reality there have only been five vetos. Not much to grumble about, we should think. . IT is learned from the Salt Lake Herald that the bottom has dropp- ed out of the Los Angeles boom, The decrease in real estate values during the past sixty, days is fully 4o per cent. Options are permitted to lapse and in some instances large sums are forfeited. It is no uncom- mon circumstance for a buyer to lose $ ro,000 which he has paid or, an option rather than pay another to,000 to complete the purchase. Suburban property and farms and orchards which have been planted as towns and additions, with gas; water and sewer pipes laid, and sidewalks constructed, haye revert- ed to the original owners, and the anci is being ploughed and seeded as before the days,. of the boom. Thousands of lots are advertised for sale by the tax collector, and many of them will not fetch enough to pay the taxes and costs of col- lection, The boom was overdone and fictitious values have received the tumble. that in the nature of things was inevitable. NeGoananonsare pending for th admission into the Dominion o the island or Newfoundland. I successful, this will be an importan addition. Newfoundland has population of nearly 200,000, o which upwards of 6o,000 are engag ed itt the fisheries. Their religion persuasions were thus registered Roman Catholics, 75,254; Churc of Eogland, 69,000 ; Wesle3ra Methodist, 48,787; Presbyterians 1,495; other denominations, 1,470 the remainder being either pagan Indians or not belouging to any particular denomination. The five largest cities and tovvas were cred ited with the following number of inhabitants in r884: StnJohn, the capital, 28,610; Harbour Grace, 7,- 054; Caronear, 3,756 ;.Twillingate, 3,694; Bona vista, 3,263—the di.e.eict of Trinity, Perryland and a tew others are also thickly populated; so that about one fourth of the whole population of the colony is collected in the large centres. THE AMENDMENT to the nifuuicip. al Act making a two thirds vote of all qualified voters in a municipal ity necessary to the granting of a bonus, is conceded to be a com- mendable move, llInuicipalities are allowei to do what they pleaso. with their own mobey. TJsually the ohjectional bonusing by laws are carried by a small number of voters, it being difficult to get the majority sufficiently intereSteal in what may seem fob trivial amaf ter for them to trouble about, or to make up their minds which way to voce. The bonusing system is a fraud at the best, but if two thirds of the ratepayers in any Municipal- ity care enough about a proposed bonus to turn out and vote for ib, then such a vote would mean prac• treat unanimity; and its adoption might be considered in accordance with the popular feelings We might say, however, that very few bontses will be granted tinder the new system. News Notes, At the nomination on Saturday last for West Hastings, Mr, Henry Corby was eleoted by acclamation. Dr. Day, the Reform eandidate, having decided not to go to the polls. Latest reports from the scene of the Yellow River Flood place the number of lives lost at 100,000, and the total number of sufferers from theinundation will reach between 1,500,000 and 2 000,000. Ott Saturday last at a meeting of the directors of the Southern Counties' Fair Association was held at Secretary Kaine's office. It was decided to hold the fair on Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday and Thursday, Sept. 17-20. The steamer Oceanic arrived front Hong Kong and Yokohama Saturday morning, The Chinese palters confirm the reports of a disastrous earthquake in the Provinces of Yunan and Syec- Intern, but give but give few additional details. Several cities were destroyed and about 20,000 lives lost. The Canada Gazette contains further intimation of elections on the question of the repeal of the Scott Act, Besides those already mentioned, namely, Sim- coe, Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry and Huron, there will be elections on the same clay (April 18) in Renfrew, Bruce, Dufferin and Norfolk. • March 18 T Newton, Witinip'g, found guilty of the murder of John Ingo, was sentenced by Judge Bain to hang on April 30. Newton addreased the court for an hour before His Lordship deliver- ed sentence, proclaiming his innocence and saying the witnesses had sworn wrongly. He takes matters cooly, and does not seem ab all nervous. .A. Missouri farmer •learned that the grand jury was about to indict him for working on Sunday. He didn't try to evade the charge, but on the contrary had his four sons summoned as witness- es against him. • Ile was fined one dol- lar and costs, a total of five dollars. But ao the mileage and witnees fees of his sons amounted to $10.40. the family cleared $5.40 on the transaction. The 1911i of April will be a memor- able day in the history of the Scott Act temperance work in the Province of Ontario. In several counties the forces of the anti -Scots will be concentrated, and lay seige to the fortresses of the temperance party. The action will be fierce and hot, and the result will have an important bearing on futuretemper- once legislation ; and play a prominent part in the moulding of public senti- ment. The other day Mr. Jackson, barrister, Ingersoll, sued .Tolin Brinn, farmer, con. 4, Bayham, to recover the sum of $150, the amount of two notes given for Red Lion wheat notes. The defendant said he did not make the notes, one of which was for $100 and che other for $50, but said he had signed one note for $150. The case was before tried by a jury, who disagreed. On this occa- sion they gave a verdict for plaintiff for the full amount. The Senate Committee on postofilces has ordered a favorable report en the Senate Bill to reduce the postage on. seeds, cuttings, bulds, &c.'to one cent for every four ounces. The present rate is 16 cents a pound, while that of Canada is only 4 cents. The purpose of the Bill is to place the American seedsmen on an equality with the Can- adians so far as the use of the United States mails are concerned. PANCAKES IN VARIETY. On cold winter mornings pancakes of all kinds hold an important place at the break- fast table; the buckwheat cake the cherish- ed of all When properly made, this is the most delicious of all the griddle cakes, but it has been agaihst it when made from yeast or risen over night that it wits difficult to make light and sweet, and that disagreeable effects frequently followed its eating. It is found that by the use of the Royal Baking Powder to raise the batter these objections lis.ve been entirly overeotne, and that buok• wheat °ekes are made a Most' delicious food light, tweet, tender and perfectly wholesome, that can be eaten by" anyone Without the • slightest digestive inconvenience.
