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.

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

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,

• 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.

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. Once
t sted from the following receipt no other
will be used : Two cups of buckwheat, one
cup of wheat flour, two tablespoons of Roy-
al Baking Powder, one halt teaspoonful of
salt, all sifted well together. Mix with
milk into a thin batter and bake at once
on a hot griddle.
The purest and richest syrup is made by
dissolving sugar in the proportion of three
noands of sugar to one pint of water.
Many persons prefer the flavor of syrup
made of Orleans sugar to that rondo of the
white.
Rice griddle cakes MO very delicious.
The rice .is cooked until perfectly soft,
drained dry, mashed with a spoon until the
grains are well broken up. For each cup-
ful of rice take two eggs, one pint of milk,
one 'heaping teaspoonful of Royal Baking
Powder, one-half teaspoonful of stet, add
flour enough to make a thin batter,
For hominy cakes take two eupfuls of
cooked hominy, and crush it with a potato -
masher until its a statooth mass Add ono
level teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of
Royal Baking Powder, and ono cupful of
flour. Stir together; then add by degrees
one quart of n:illE, and lastly three well
beaten eggs. Rake in thin cokes.
Very delicate and delicious cakes rue made
by allowing two teaspoonfels of Royal Bak-
ing Powder and one half teaspoonful of salt
toono quart of milk, and bufficient corn
meal, mixing all into &smooth, thin batter;
no eggs or butter are used for these, The
cakes bake quickly to a rich deep brown,
and al e extremely tender and light.
A very deheitms, sweet pancake is made
by taking one pitit of sweet milk, four eggs,
Iwo tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, two
tableepoon fills of melted butter, ono tea-
spoonful of Royal Baking Powder, and flout'

sion. Impressive sermons were then
conducted.
