The statistics of the Elmira Reforma-
tory throw some light until the relation
of ignorance to crime. Out of 6,000
people who have been confined there 798
are utterly illiterate and 2,131 could
onsst barely read and write. The uneducated
therefore numbered 2.029, or 69.9 per
cent. of the whole, while 20.9 per cent.
had had an ordinary Common School
education and 3.2 per cent. a High
School education or more. In these
statiatiee a great number of persons are
ranked as "educated" 'who have been
simply stuffed with verde. A more
thoroneh and diteerning examination
would probably show that the truly ed-
ucated are an exceedingly small fraction
of the criminal classes.
op, abroad have, the New Yost Jour -
al of Commerce gives in a teVe the
araount of exporte of wheat eacli year
from the thaited Stetee„ eutling since
June 39, 18'ZS, and also the enema

500,000,000 to 5t13,000,000 is &eight to

vest. The world'a crap of wheat out-
side of the United States has averaged
10150,000,000 buebele per year suttee
1843, except ik* 11469, when it was 1,460,
000,000; and attention is called to the
fact that the price from 1883 up to 18S9
has ruled below one dollar a bushel, the
September corner, 1888, exeePtell• In
tho following year, 1890, it fell back
below one dollar per Outdid, undoubtedly
on account a the world's crop agein
being good. Now it is perfectly safe to
compute that the world's crop, tudging

over their average -75,000,000 bushels.
It is true the crop of 1889 outside of the
United. States decreased 190,000,000
below the average of nix years previous,
and the irice would not keep above one
dollar in Chicago, but tho aurplus ot
the previous six years must have been
sumething of a factor to keep the price
depressed, as the price did not advance
ten cents a bushel at any time in the
English ninrket, and to -day Euglish
wheat is selling ten bhillingfi higher a
quarter than it was at this Hine last
year.

The Committee on Privileges paid
Elections, to whom have been referred
the grave charges which have been made
by Mr. Tarte against Hon. Thomas Mc-
Greevy, Sir Hector Langevin and Mr-
Perley, chief engineer of the Dept. of
Public Works, on Tuesday commenced
an active investigation. It is to be
hoped that the charges will be shown to
be false. It would be unfair, in the
ebsence of any testiniany, to express an
opinioo, bub the Globe has written
about the charges in such a way that
those of its readers politically opposed
to Sir Hector are likely to be imbued
strongly with a belief that the charges
are true and will therefore be ready to
cry out on the conclusion of the investi-
gation; should it result in clearing Sir
Hector's character, that the committee
have whitewashed the minister.

Canada's position to -day is infinitely
superior to what it was under the finan-
cial administration of the Refornt party.
During the lean years of the Cartwright
term of office the debt of the country
was increased by $34,000,000, with prac-
tically nothing to show for it. There
were annual deficits in the revenue rang.
ing from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, and
increased taxation in the bargain. The
average rate of net interest paid on our
debt has actually decreased from $3. 68
in 1808 to $3.07 in 1889. The net debt
per head, despite the immensely bene-
ficial public woks of tho past 11 years,
has only grown from $34 per head in
1878 to $46, that is, at increase of $12
in 11 years, with solid advantages to
show for it, against an increase of $6 per
head in four years (from 1874 to 1878),
with no corresponding offset, The in-
terest paid on the debt -and this, after
• all, is the only butden which Canadians
have to bear in connection with their
national borrowings -has •increased just
16 cents per head, from $1.58 in 1878 to
$1.74 in 1889, so that they have the
splendid development of 11 years for
this comparatively small increase of
burden. The credit of the country
stands high, and without a blemish in
the money markets of the world.

which he becomes a party with the Patrons
is just the kind to efface him as a business

forth, his privileges are clearly a matter of

private bills, a motion -was subtnitted to go

OTTAWA, May 20, 1891. -The Speaker took
tbe chair at 3 o'clock. Several private bills
received their first reading. Mr. Amyot's
bill to make voting compulsory, and. Mr.
Barron's respecting the election of members
were read a first time. Mr. Chapleau said
that the claim of Mr. Barber, paper manu-
facturer of Georgetown, against -the Govern-
ment was referred by the Exchequer Court
to referees, and their award was now before
the court for confirmation or revision. Sir
Hector Langevin informed Mr. Tarte that
the amount paid to Larkin, Connolly & Co.
on account of the Esquimalt graving dock
from 1884 to 1890 was $580,841. Mr. Foster
told Mr. Tarte that the Quebec harbor com-
missioners on December 31 owed $185,925 to
the Government on account of interest, and
that this amountls still unpaid. Mr. Sowell
informed Mr. Somerville that no conces-
sions had been made to the Poison Iron
Compauy, of Owen Sound, in the impor-
tation free of duty of steel plates and
other naaterials for the new vessel the firm is
now building for the fishery protection ser-
viee beyond what the taxi& provided. Mr,
Chapleau, replying to Mr. Lepine, said. the
cost of the typesetting machines purchased

price now is $8,000. They are capable of set-
• ting 3,500 es per hour, or 31,500 ems per day
• of nine hours, for which the Government now
pays $2 por day, as the men work by day:
