A eueeceItl issued recently from the Bureau of Statistics contains the usual interesting /acts with re- spect to the crops, progrc ssing of spring work live stock, etc, The information is gathered by 971 cor- respondents under the date of May Fall wheat, it iwould appear, presents a very uneven condition throughout the province. Owing to the alternate thawing and freez• ing of the mild winter, following late seeding the crop suffered more or less from winter-Icilliug in the west. The dry northerly winds and rains, commencing in,February and continuing late in the spring, great- ly retarded the growth in other portions of the province, where the crop is ,aid to have wintered better than was expected. In Essex, Laralhten, Kent and Lincoln, which send the worst reports, considerable portions at the wheat lend will be plowed up and seede.i raver. Little or no damage is reported from worms or insects. Recent rains have improved the entire& entireand wall a favorable se:zsen there is me - son e -son to anticipate! a fair, although not a large, harvest, The e eaditian of the winter rye crop is generally satisfactory, the winter -killing not having been suf- ficiently extensive to impair the prospects of au average crop. Tixe acreage is greatly decreasing. The condition of clover is not satisfactory, especially in the south- western counties, much damage having been caused by the alternate freezing and thawing. Oa high and sandy soils the prospects are better, and a good crop is promised under favorable conditions. The reports concerning orchards are on the whole favorable. The damage to the peach trees was slight, apples promise well, and grapes and small fruits generally are considered as promising. Plums and cherries are suffering from black knot.. Seeding is far advanced in the western portion of the province, owing to favorable season, but wet land in some of the eastern counties has delayed plowing operations. Oats and peas continue la favor and there will be a considerably enlarged area of spring wheat sown, including goose. Barley will be grown to a smaller extent, probably one -halt or two thirds that of last year. Low prices of late and a fear that the U. S. tariff will dis- criminate against Canadian barley supply the reasons. There is a slow movement in the erection of silos,and the ensilagegis i yet in the first experimental stage in Ontario. The winter was favorable to the apiary and the losses wilt not aver- age over eight per cent., resulting chiefly from stocks wintered inside finding the quarters too warm. Two cases of swarming in April are recorded -an unusual occurrence. Owing to the plentifulness of fod- der and the mildness of the winter, the present condition of live stock is with few exceptions all that could be desired. Cattle are generally • thrifty and strong; horses are in an exceptionlly good con ditou for spring work; sheep and pigs are also thrifty. Sheep are scarce, but the lambing; season has been a favor- able one and there seems also to be an increase in the number of young pigs. There has been unusual mor- tality among the porkers, and dis- temper and influenza has been strongly marked among horses, but there is a marked immunity -,from all malignant types. There is little wheat in farriers' l hands ; in but few instances is any considerable quantity said to be held over, while in some counties farmers will have to buy their flour. The supply of oats is generally above the requirements in the 'West Midland counties. but in the Lake Eno counties a great deal of this grain was fed during the . -winter, leaving small stores at present Writ- ing. It is a long time since so rnuch hay was reported in the spring, Every district chronicles an abund- ant supply. Fat cattle have nearly tall been taken away by buyers and most of the stock remaining are being grazed for June shipments. There appears to be less store cattle than usual. EDITORAI NOTES. CONVICTS, lunatics, idiots and paupers are prohibited by law from entering the United States, but a Boston paper says that they enter by way of Canada. These charac- ters are not grown in Canada, and must come from Europe. It Is, therefore, the interest of the coup. try as well as the interest of the United States to keep them from landing. DOES education diminish chime Ont of a total of 3.I8o convicts in the prisons of New York, z are credited with university education, 67 with college, x38 with academy, 2.1.4 common school, Seg read and write, 102 read only and but 36; are without education. Aggregated, of 3.0o criminals 3112 are educated and 36S illiterate, This is a poor showing for those who take the eau• cational side of the argument. A s0T10EAULS feature in the Ontario elections is then number of young men who have been put in the field, principally on the Opposition side. The reason given for this is that the "old head," or "machine politicians," of both parties are given to the sacrifice of principle necessities. Al uew spirit independent of the old idea appears to be coming into activity and young blood is considered a necessity in the Legislature. THE .Reform leader and Press of the Reform party in Canada are fond of making comparison of the public debt of Canada with that of the United States, much to the dis- advantage ot their own country. But Dr. Linslow, in his recent work on political economy, shows that the people of the United ,States owe $27,969,247,048. This includes national, state, county, municipal, railway, banking, private banking, record, mercantile and individual debts. The total is more than one half of the census valuation of the country. Estimating the popula- tion at sixty millions, it means a per capita indebtedness of $465, or more than the average iccome of each family. The annual interest on this debt at five per cent is nearly fourteen hundred million dollars l Senator Stewart, who, is also re- garded as a statistical and financial authority, goes still further, and de- clares that the indebtedness of the peopleof theUnited States, Public and private, is fully equal to the assessed value of the entire proper- ty of the nation. This means bankruptcy, and, though prosperity may appear to be bounding at pres- ent the weight . of this stupendous burden must make itself felt with increasing pressure as years ad- vance. Senator Stewart consoles his couutrymen, however, by show- ing that the people of England owe a debt, calculated in the same way, amounting to $57o per .head, but the average Englishman bears it with wonderful equanimity. But the difference between the Ameri- can's and Englishman's debts is that England owes her debt to her own people, while the United States owe the great bulk of theirs to foreigners. Besides, the whole world is in debt to England and pays her annually in interest an amount as large as her entire na- tional debt. Herein lies the secret of England's success as a free trader, T'WExTx years ago the cheeselnak- ing industry in Ontario wasan in- significant affair, To -day it is one teat; Importation of and Cases: Corby Whiskey French & Domestic Wines.,- AND ines.AND RETAIL intos,%' TAR GROCERY of the greatest industries in the Just Received a di - Province. The value of the cheese in Ontario in xS8S was $6,2o2:333. The quantity made was 64,387,059 pounds; the quantity of milk used was 66,3,35o,835 pounds. Canada, besides supplying the home mar- ket, which is by the wise policy, ot the Dominion government, kept for our cheese manufacture, has taken possession ot the English market, where Canada last year sold cheese to the value of $8,87x,2o5. OBJECTIONS raised in Canada to the railway policy oft the Dominion Government find no echo in the West. The papers of Minneapolis, for instance, are full of admiration of a policy which will open the Ca- nadian Territories to settlement and trade, The Tribune ot 'that city, after giving a list of the railways to be aided by government grants, says that six hundred miles will be added this year to the railway mile• age of Manitoba and the North- west, aiding immensely in the de- velopment al the country, bringing the settled portions within reach of markets, promoting colonization and giving access to timber and coal lands 01 vast extent. The cash outlay for the year on railways in the regions named is estimated at twelve million dollars, Business as a consequence must flourish and settlement follow as the roads are built, fur it is well known now that the Canadian West offers far better inducements than the territories of the United States. THE New York Sun makes some pointed remarks about the bad handwriting that prevails in the United States. It is an undoubted fact that, m that country, business men do not as a rule write web. sIany of them write in a very ugly, disjointed and more or less illegible manner, Probably they wovld not give the time at school necessary to acquire a good handwriting. This would be one of the results of the insane baste of Americaus to get at what they regard as the great object of life, the making of money. The Sun says that "the English are good penmen, as their ordinary commercial letter shows," and that "even the writing of very many English mechanics is clear and dig- nified." The Irish, it says, are even better writers, which speaks well for Irish schools. Now we greatly fear that enough attention is not paid to writing in our Cana- dian schools. We believe that the general style of writing in business houses in Canada is better than in similarestablislaments in the United States, but it certainly is not up to the English standard. What the Sun says about Irish writing is probably correct. People in this country are sometimes surprised to find how well their Irish servant maids, not long out from the "Old Country," can pyrite. The writing. of the maid, indeed, will sometimes compare very favorably with that of the master. If our schools would only be a little less ambitious in some directions, but would make it a point to give us good readers good writers, and accurate arithme- ticians, education in general would be on a sounder basis than it is to- day.
