EDITORIAL NOTES.
THE Ontario Budget shows that
the total receipts for the year w ere
S3,538,4.o5.og ; the expenditures
were $3,653,356.37, leaving a deficit
of $I1.4,951.29. According to this
deficit it would not seem as though
the Ontario Government is of an
economical persuasion.
AN ocean penny postage between
Great Britain, the colonies and the
United States, as proposed by a
member of the Imperial House of
Commons, is quite possible within
the region of practical refernzs, al-
though it has not been favorably
entertained by the British Post
Office authorities. The proposition,
however,and the arguments brought
forward to sustain it, show how far
we in Canada are behind the mother
country and the United States iv.
postal:matters. While penny and
two cent postage prevails in each of
those countries respectively Cana-
dians pay three cents. The reason
given for the higher rate in the
Derninian is the enormous expense
et the service over a vast and thinly
populated region.
THE barley problem is about be-
ing solves], The Dominion Gov-
ernment have set aside .$25,u00
wherewith to purchase the very
best two -rowed English barley to
be used for seed this year by Ca-
nadian farmers. The government
purpose giving it to the farmers at
net cost price. It is absolutely
necessary that the grain be kept
separate from all other kinds ref
arliiers will- ifs wise
enough to note that point. In case
there is any special peculiarity in.
the plantin:r it the new seed, it will
doubts -as be made public in ample
n.rie for sowing. This movement
will effectually settle the question of
Canadian farmers being dependent
on the Yankee brewers,",or on the,
American brewers' and malsters'
association. England will in bar
ley as in nearly every other farm
product be Canada's market.
MR. WIMAN is at present on a
lecturing tour throughout Canada
his subject being "More intimate
trade relations between Canada
and the United States." We have
too much confidence in the loyalty
of Canadians to Canada's commer-
cial independence to fear that it
will be shaken even by the argu-
ments of so powerful an advocate
as Mr. Wiman. Whatever faults
the lecture may have, Mr. Wiman
is entitled to some praise. In ad-
vancing his favorite theory he has
incidentally done much to make
Canada known and appreciated
abroad. His sincerity has been
questioned rather gratuitously in
certain quarters, but no man in
urging an injurious policy (as we
conceive it to be) has ever said less
to depreciate or more to extol Can-
ada than has Mr. Wiman through-
out this movement. True it is that,
like too many Canadians, Mr.
Wiman has gone to the L sited
States to find scope for his supera-
bundant energies, but in spite ot
all temptations to become a natu-
ralized American he remains a
Canadian, and although "repatria-
tion" might improve him there ie
abundant testimony that Mr. Wi-
man is as useful to Canada in New
York as a high commissioned, al-
though he does not cone nearly as
expensive. Mr. Wiman has more
appreciation of the natural wealth
and resources ot Canada than he
has faith in the possibility of ()an•
ada developing a groat future
commercially independent of the
United �
tates
The he eo
r
e of
an-
ada,
with much less appreciation
of the natural wealth ot their own
country, have greater faith in the
future of Canada. It is Just as well
Ir. Wiman should come in contact
with his countrymen occasionally
to impart to them some of his own
enthusiasm about the great miner-
al and agricultural wealth, and the
magnificent waterways of Canada;
and also in order that he may be-
come convinced by personel obser-
vation that the people of the Dom-
inion feel competent to build up a
great commercial power without
surrendering a particle of their
independence to their great neigh-
bor. Whether the glowing picture
drawn by Mr. Wiman can be real-
ized simply by throwing down the
Customs barrier between Canada
and the United States, is more than
doubtful. Against the very plausi-
ble arguments advanced by Mr.
Wiman in the affirmative is the
experience of Canada which hap-
pened to be in the negative. Cana-
dian manufacturers have the strong-
est of all reasons for believing that
the principal effect of pulling down
the barrier would be not to divide
the American market, but to divide
the Canadian market. The best
market both for the farmer and
manufacturer is the home market
and that, at least, is secured to
Canadiaus by the National Policy.
To say nothing of free corn the
folio •ring figures show how serious
a matter it would be to the Cana-
dian farmer if we had free wheat
and free oats. Here are the actual
prices in those two great grain cels.

.the sum of $3000 has been ordered
by the President to be devoted to the
relief of the sufferers in Dakota. Still
Mr. Westlake writing in another column
claims there is but little destitution in
1)akota.
Toronto City Council has decided to
abolish tax exemptions on real property
except dtcelhnon
houses to the value of
$600 and under. The Council retused
to abolish the tax on income and
personalty.
Ta Woatn's FAIR project being now
regarded as virtually dead so far as
New York is concerned, The Sun, of
that city, is out in favor of locating it
in Chicago, which it has discovered to be
"a noteworthy and enterprising town,"
in which any stranger might pass a week
'Without cursing the bad luck that obliged
him to do so.
Louis Somers, of Hastings, Minn.,
aged 21 years, shot and killed his sweet-
heart, Mary Pietezen, aged 18 years,
because she refused to marry him. He
then tried to escape, but was captured
at Red Wing and taken to Hastings.
A mob threatened to lynch him, and he
was taken to St. Paul for safe keeping.
The U. S. Goverment authorities have
decided on the new quarantine line for
splenic or Texas fever. The new quaran-
tine places under ban all of Indian Terri-
tory and all of Texas, except the Pan
Handle portio • 1 lying north of the thirty-
fourth parallel. The firmness of the
Canadian Government in maintaining a
strict quarantine in the North-west can
be better understood in the light of the
above action.
Forel augh's show is the latest Ameri-
can institution which was passed into
the hands of an English syndicate. Ne-
gotiations for the sale were commenced
before the late Mr. Forepaugh's death,
and the circus and menagerie belong to
a company with a capital of $1,900,000,
the English capitalists holding two-thirds
of the stock and the Forepaugh estate
one-third.
As many as 717,748,864 gallons of
malt liquor were consumed in the United
States last year. Nearly all of it was
produced in the Republic, only 2,300,-
000 gallons being imparted. The per
capita now reach es 11.98 gallons—nearly
eight times what it was in 1860. Of
distilled spirits 71,064,733 gallons were
used in 1887—a less quantity than was
used in 1860, when the population was
only half as large.
The number of schools in British India
according to the Calcutta correspondent
of The London Times, is 131,709, and
the number of pupils 3,544,257. Com-
pared with any country in which educa-
tion is generally diffused, this, of course,
is not a very good showing. India has
a population about 110 times as great as
that of Ontario, but the number of
pupils attending its schools is only
about seven. times as great as in Ontario.
Considering the peculiar circumstances
of India, however, it is satisfactory to
know that eleven per cent. of the popu-
lationof school age are being educated,
n
and that the proportion is increasing.

Subscribers should remember that the
price of THE TIMES is $1 per year in ad-
vance. Arrears must be paid at once.
No exception is made. The amount is
small, but when all pnt together amounts
to many thousands of dollars. Many
have apoligized for being in arrears by
saying we had not billed them. It is
doubtless unpleasant to be "dunned,"
but farmers and townspeople must look
on it as a regular business matter. In-
deed, many of them sensibly take that
view, and are rapidly obeying the sum-
mons, and paying up IN AnvANCE as far
as they are in arrears.
Destruction of the Toronto Uni-
versity.
Toronto Uuivereity was totally destroyed
by fire Friday night, Preparations bad been
made for the annual convereazione, at
whieb 2,000 people wore expected to be
present, and it was just before the guests
commenced to arrive, at 7 o'clock, that the
fire broke out. Two men were engaged
carrying upstairs in a reek halt a dozen
lighted lamps to be put in ohandeliters, when
the man on the lower end became frightened
that they might fall and iuetautly let go his
hold. The lamps fell and broke, oil spread-
ing all over the stairs and down into the
already heavily -oiled floor. All the buihi-
inge were destroyed, The property, includ-
ing all buildings and contents, was insured
in twelve oonppenies to the extent of
$264,000. It is estimated that the total loss
by thaVniveraity fire will be over111,00,f(0.
This includes of course the library which
was valued at aver $100,000 aha all the
equipment which was generally atter the
modern eta le.
Testing of the Vitality and Vigor
of Seed Grain.
To az Molitor of the Rioter Times.
The summer of 1889 was not a favorable
ons in some parts of the Dominion for
matnriug a high quality of seed grain.
Bust prevailed to such au extent as to
interfere with its usual development and
plumpness, Where the rust was severe
the grain is unusually light, and its per-
centage of germinating power has been
considerably reduced. This is espeially
the caee with oats. judging from samples
received for testing, this lnanry has been
greatest in the Maritime Provinces, aud in
some dietricts in Ontario. The important
bearing of well developed, vigorous seed, of
high germinatinfipower, au good craps is
now recognized by all tbcugbiful farmers,
and no one who has any seed on hand, the
vitility of which is questionable, should
allow himself to remain long in uncertainty
as to its value. The seed testing depart.
ment at tho Central Experimental Farm is
now in full operation. and every farmer in
the 1)omiuion is Invited to send nnyeamplos
of which ho may bare doubt, to this institu-
tion for test. The time ocoupied in testing
is usually about a fortnight ; an ounce or
two is sufficient for the purpose. Samples
may be sent through the mail to the Expert
mental Farm free of postage, and the re-
turns will be made as promptly as possible,
and freo of ohatge, The name and address
of the sender should be written plainly, and
accompany each package,—Wer, Set:mi r.5,

Rev. Dr. Wild, the Toronto prophet, has

to suppose Great Britain and the United
States have been overlooked. The United
States is the tribe of Manassh. and it was
clearly foretold years ago that Manassh
should leave Ephraim and become a great

States is the only coioby Great Britain ever
lost or ever will lose. Annexationists might
