There is no system of finance ever conceived which will give 0 hen for nothing,or enormous r - so ete m ,* turas on a small invetment, for there are monetary laws to which usage in these matters must conform, and wher- ever they are violated disaster must follow. Tem prohibition of the export of wheat from Russia is simply the official recog- niaon of the well-known feet that Russia has ne wheat to apare. It is surprising that the recognition; should have had any effect, aueh as is reported from Lon- don, where the announcement of it strenghtened Canadian and American railway securities. Is has been officially estimated that the export of wheat from Russia has already amounted to 20,000,- 000 bushels, and such dribblets as may henceforth find their way amiss the border, in spite of the prohibition, are not worth reckoning in the world's sup- ply. Whatever may be the accuracy rat the estimates thus far made ot the European demand, it is certainly great enough to absorb the surplus of 285.- 000.003 bushels available for export from Canada and the United States. r ..+ IT 1s said that the British Government favors an amendment to the law relating to evidence, by which persons charged with crime will be allowed to give evi- dence in their own behalf. This is the law in the United States, and there is no good reason why it should not obtain here. Under English procedure the prisoner cannot open his mouth in his defence. save through counsel, although oftentimes he might be able to throw light on the case which would materially aid justice and truth. Only after he is convicted is he allowed to address the court, and only then to offer reason why sentence should not be passed on him. This is only a matter of form, for no matter what statement he may make the sentence is passed, and he must abide by it. THE military train that is about to cave Vancouver on the Pacific Ocean to convey British troops over the Canadian route to Halifax on the Atlantic Ocean, will make the quickest possible time across the continent by rail, and the steamship carrying the troops from Halifax across the Atlantic will make the quickest possible time to Liverpool. The British military authorities are making experiments to discover how rapidly troops can be conveyed from England to India by this route with the =aid of the new steamship line on the Pacific. "These experiments are of in- terest to a laige part of the world, in - el tiding the chief powers of Europe, the most populous eou,ntries of "Asia, the British provinces of North America, Egypt in North Africa, and the British possessions in South Africa, and also world -girdling g e m p Australia.

Thus two cerannes in Missouri and eleven in Mis- sissipl,i show decrease of population in the census bulletin just issued. As for lands valuta in one of the toast enterpris- ing of New England States, Cnneeticut, the Hartford Times tells of a farm of 3: 20 news in Salem. Forty years ago, the property was kuaaht for :~7500. A few Clays ago, at auction, the whole property and improvements, 11 20 acres of gond fanning land and woodland, all fenced and with good buildings, brought only 140t1.

It is quite true that the broadcloths, the silks and satins, the velvets and the laces, consumed by the farmers are sub- ject to higher taxes than in 1878—tuxes imposed for revenue and not for protec- tivo purposes—but, there is no murmur of discontent with this aspect of the tariff. Political Points. Mr. Neelon has again been nominated as the Conservative candidate in Lincoln. The South Oxford election petition against Sir Richard Cartwright (Liberal) has been withdrawn.

C"ouneillor Ikies broke the silence by. asking what expenditure aneh removal would entail ; he thought it unwise to rush boldly into having the market re- moved until the probable cost was count- ed ; mere land would] be required to en - largo the present town hall grounds. and an immense expenditure neeeesary to pre- pare them for the market buntline, the scales and cattle yards and sheds. iTe said the promoters had not realized their undertaking, the east necessary for re- moval of the market, enlargingthe grounds etc. would not fall far under $3000. feputy.reeve Biaaett estimated the cost at 42.500, Reeve Rollins and Coun. Chris- tie at 850 ; while Coun. Carling would not give an estimate, preferring a futuro Coun- cil to say what expenditure would be made. The reeve while thinking dt possible that more land would be required, could not see that the expenditure would be so enormous, but as yet could not not esti- mate. Conn. Bissett moved that the Council settle the matter at once and not rush to the people for an expression of opinion on every trifling squabble that arises ; this market question has been a bone of con- tention between different nt frctionsforY ears and it never will be settled, even though it be moved to the town hall no'ty. Soon some other quarter of the town would have a grievance. Councillor Christie thought it better to ask a vote of the ratepayers ; the market was in the wrong place and must be mov- ed,but first he wanted the voice of the peoe ple. Cour, Carling also favored taking a vote since largely -signed petitions for and against the scheme had been presented; and therefore moved, seconded by Coun. Christie, that the voice of the ratepayers be asked, according to the petitions pre- viously submitted to the Council, as to whether the market shall remain at its present site or he moved to the Town hall property ; and that a vote be taken on Friday, 18th inst , at the same polling places as for Municipal elections, by the following deputy -returning officers :—Div 1, Geo.
