Last week thele was laid on the ta: hie of the House of.Coremoesthe annu- al report of the Interior Departnieet, from x., R?hieh we gather slaty erteouray- ing filets relatirtg to the progress of i.ai.(1 u :a in Manitoba and, the North Western Territories. Our readers will nidtrstaed that the chief field for im- migration is in the. groat North .West, s'here many thnusatttls of pttpplo have formed a homta for themselves not only from Ontario but from the old world The Dominion government has lost no opportunity of booming that part of Canada, simply because of its illimit- able resources and fertile territory,— forntiag as it sloes an outlet for the con Bested districts in Britain aid Europe, as well as for aur young then and far- mers' sons who could not afford to buy laid in old Ontario and the other east ern provinces, Judgiig from the re port just submitted to parliament, it seems that an arrangement was made in 1874 by which the several provinces were to contribute a large sum annual - }y for the encouragement of immi;ra tion into the Dominion; but,as this was never carried our, the federal authori- ties closed lip the emigration agencies at various points, and thus a saving has been effectecfof 820,000, while the work was more efficiently done by the department as the direct medium for encouraging emigration to our West ern provinces. According to the ann- ual report. there were taken up in homesteads aid Eales of land by gov- erninent over 600,000 acres in 1891; and in the following' year (1S92) over 960,000 acres. Besides that, the gov- ernment have had surveyed during the same near 1,395,200 acres in farm gots ready for settlement. Not only is there found in all parts of the Western ter- ritory oceans of the most fertile soil, but in several localities coal of various kinds has been discovered thus giving to the settlers abundance of fuel at Sow rates. Since the Souris coal mines have been opened up, and bY means of transportation by rail, coal has been delivered at Regina and Wihnipeg and other points at $4 per ton. This, of course is a great advantage in a coun- try where, in many places, wood was scarce. The report just submitted to Parliament is full of encouraging de- tails—among other things stated, are the establishment of creameries and cheese factories; the enormous yield of grain amounting to 16,000,000 bushels last year, a large proportion of which is available for export; and the pros pect of our North Western hard wheat taking place of the softer wheat :grain grown in the Western States in the markets of China and Japan. All this is encouraging to Canadians, 'who should rejoice at the growing develop merit and prosperity ofa country which has progressed faster within a few years than almost any country in the world, THE PROPOSED PHARMACY ACT. A. bill has been prepared and will be introduced luto the Legislative As sembly nest month to amend the Pharmacy Act, and one which in our opinion is very injudicious and unjust, and not in public interest. I£ this bill should become law, none but a quali- fied druggist can sell medicine of any Y kind, r.at evee 'be most simple kind, such as castor oil, salts,senna, tur'pen- tine, patent medicines, horse medi- cines, and many other simple house hold articles that have been sold in country stores ever sitter the country was first settled. 4t'e are not aware that the; safety of lite or health has sttlfered from the vending of , these articles by sr.. ere keepers,—the suggest- ion appears to us simply absurd. Why, then, should a monopoly to benefit a few be established to the manifest in- juryofth.e store keepe.rs and to the verygreat inconvenience of the most of people 11 villa' outside of cities. There aro only about12e druggists in bust - boss in ()maria, unisidt: of the cities, ton ns awl incorporated villages, while thesame t,-rritury time() are about thirty three ;;gonial stores andgrocer, des all of which handle 'medicines, Amartg tht' articles'the sale of which it is proposed to restrict to druggists bb lira 'aranloc ir.ret all is C1' •, the rnlxaurtdS -theresof" 'Cluk>. itie-J0c1 1s Paris green ithtir LOttllun pnl'pit.l't'f, do riot 'think „, ^d inerchaais'0al other dealers tr stroli .l. be fareir.l i , In sell these arti:- r.le s. °l`hey at it 0,4i, in (minium) use by gnr'derrt•t'e, a .n, is aid fruit grow, ers, and If they may be bought only .from druggists great hardship to the elasseeeeained will follow, 1'1'.0 do ztor think this legislature would consent to a measure ca'leulated to put the job'ity.of the people of Ontario 'at a dis= advaetaige and coupe' them to pay higher prices than they now pay for artielea itr.cormnonuse. Again, the Graft bill provides that h sicians n)av not disease medicines p�'p It affirms that:no person but an apoth ecary or dispensing chemist elleeesed Andel' the ate may dispense medicines", and also that do physician or Inedical practitioner can bec `tile registered as au apothecary unless he ceases to practice as a physician or Surgeon. This, it strikes us, is alt wrong. The design of the law is, or should be, that the compounding of medicines shall not be left he ntlgtl.tllihed hands. Sure- ly no mail can be bstter able to coin. pound medicines than the physician who prescribes them, Indeed, in some cases, the physician may not know the exact streugth of the drug that will and its way into the mixture unless he has it in his own keeping. The legis lature should throw just so many safe- guards around the sale of medicines and poisons as are necessary for the protection of the public, and no more No provision should be put upon the statute book calculated to create a mo- nopoly and to compel consumers to pay higher prices than they would pay un der open competition, HUSBAND AND WIVES WIT- NESSES. At Thursday's session the Senate took up and considered the Canada Evideuce Aet of 1S93, which passed in the House of Commons two weeks ago. The most important section of the act was section four, which provided that in criminal trials the wife or husband of the accused should not only be com- petent to give evidence, but might be compelled to do so. This section con- templated a decided change in the law. Communications between husband and wife belong to the class of privileged communications. The theory of the law has been that the happiness of the marriage state requires that there should be the most unlimited confi- dene between husband and wife. For this reason, formerly, neither party could be examined in a legal action in which the other was interested as a party. This theory, however,was brok- en in upon iu 1873, when an act was passed placing husbands and wives under the same rules substantially as other persons in civil actions. The Senate has refused to extend this pro- secution. They probably think that it would be a severe hardship to compel one married person to go upon the stand and have to answer questions which might lead to the conviction and punishment, possibly to the capital punishment, of the person in whom all their interest and affection were cen- tered. The Montreal Star expressed his view with fervour when it argued that the proposed change in the law would introduce a system of moral torture into our criminal procedure nothing less than barbarous. We can- not say that we entertain or approve of the stand taken by the Senate. We believe that tire clause ohjected to should have passed. No doubt there is much to be said on the other side. No doubt there would he hardship, but the hardship would only exist where the accused was really guilty. In civil cases, there has been a great adyant-. age in giving the court tele benefit of the testimony of the parties and their husha.nds and wives. No one would think of returning to the old law when this important species of evidence was excluded. It is found to be of assist anoe in getting at the truth, and this is the object as well of criminal as of civil procedure.
