The finally final estimate of the cost of the new Ontario Parliament buildings was placed at one and a quarter millions but already the expenditure totals $1,- 275,000, and if Architect Waite's claim' is allowed, the million three hundred thousand mark will be passed • And oven the end will not be in sight. The main argument for biennial ses- sions is that a saving of some $200,000 , could be effected by holduag a session every second year instead of each year; and the question is, whether the priva lege of annual criticism of routine ac- counts would more than Offset in public advantage the probable extravagance -that would creep in if the Government werellowed to go on for two years to- gether with this cleack upon them. x x x Hon. C. F. Fraser, commissioner of Public Works for Ontario, has resigned.. It is pot Wholly owing to ill -health. Several weeks ago, differences occurred in. the Cabinet in connection with the question of the ballot in Separate schools. The Premier's guarded an- nouncement in the House is a practical confirmation of the statement. That • such a man should, wh le fate from old - age, find in loss of vigor a partial reason for withdrawing from the political arena, is cause for sorrow ; that he so broad- minded in many respects, considers the granting of the protection of the ballot to the laity of his own faith an addition - id reason for going is cause for even. more poignant grief. x x x There was an unusual amount of sound sense in the London Times article cabled to the papers last week. It was stated that Canada's principal market is in Great Britain and not in the United States. The truth of this assertion is established by the tables contained in the trade and navigation returns. It was also declared that the only way in Which our exports to the Mother Count- ry can be increased is by. lowering the customs tax on British goods„ This is also true. The main obstacle in the way of increasing the sales of our pro - dime in England is found in the difficulty • in obtaining return cargoes for the vessels which carry it over. A reduction • in. duties on British manufactures would increase our purchases in Britain and thereby add to our sales their as well. This teduction the Ottawa Government • should proceed to make at once withoue • wetiting any longer to see what the tariff tinkers at Washington intend to do. x x Gladstone has resigned the Premier- • ship of the British Parliament. The withdrawal of the Premier from public life roust have an important effect on events in, Great Britain. The immediate results will doubbleas be the breaking up of the alliance between the Irish Home Rel ere and the Liberia' party and the early acCession to power of the Censer- VatiVes.

This report shows that in ten years the average daily number of patients confined in these institutions has jumped from 2,580 to 3,6'74. In other words the insane population hes increased by forty per cent, during a period within which the total population has only been added to by about ten per cent. x x x It is becoming every year more nec- essary that a farmer, to be at all suc- cessful, must be a thorough business man, quick to see and prompt to take opportunities for making money outside his usual routine. No amount of hard work withoutsuchbusiness qualification will give farmers the success that it is right to expect." If the business does not pay, change methods, crops and stock until it does, even though temper. any loss may be the result. This is especially the case where farmers have been over -burdened with poor stock. It is better to sell this at a loss, as merch- ants often do when they close out un- saleable stocks la order that their room • may be used to better advantage. x Ninety years ago English speaking people numbered twenty and a hIlf millions. To -day the number is over 111,000,000. • In the same period Ger- man and Russian speaking people have increased from a little over, thirty, mil- lions, in each Case to seventy five mil- lions, while those who use French have only been augmented from thirty one and a half to fifty one and dr quarter millions. While the Freneh population has been added to by 80, aia, the eirer- man and Russian by 160, the English has been enhanced by 450 per cent At the beginning of the century English was spoken by one-eighth of the world's people ; to day it is the mode of com- munication between aver one-fourth.

The report of the Provincial Agricultural College and Experimental Farm was pre- sented by Hon. Mr. Dryden. It is prelud- ed by the report of Superintendent Mills, who says: " Thase who have visited our college from time to time have observed. above everything else, that our history has been one of continuous progress in the im- provement of our equipment, the enlarge- ment of our staff and the extension of our work. The year 1893 has uot been an ex- ception in this respect It has been marked by progress on several lines -the comple- tiomi of our greenhouses, the. construction of a large farm piggery, the erection of a dairy building and two dairy cottages, the appointment of a lecturer on horticulture, the organization of a summer school for teachers, and the commencement of a home dairy coutse for 'farmers' sons and daughters. Tye attendance of students is quite satisfactory. We began the year with all rooms occupied, and in October last we had applicants for every vacancy. The total number On the roll in 1893 was as follows: Regular students, 186; dairy students, 60; total, 246, To these may be added an attendance of 34 at our sum- mer school in July last, making a grand total of 280." . Prof. Hugo Ross, in his report, says: On December 31 I was asked to examine two cows that were not doing well. I condemned them as presenting very strong symptoms of tuberculosis and ordered new isolation. On my return from institute work abcat January 21 I found one of these animals much worse, and on gaining Your permission I slaughtered her and found on holding a poet naorteni that she was very extensively diseased. The other cow was thriving tolerably well, and we kept her isolated. She gave birth to twin calves, one of which lived, Under instruc- tions from the Minister of Agriculture I tested this cow, and some more of which I was suspicious, with Prof. leoch's lymph, or tniserculin. My experience ewith the test has been that it can be depended on in all cases. If the Government should see fit to class this disease in the Contagious Disease Act, and endeavor 'to stamp it out by slaughtering all diseased animals, this test will be of great value. As there is no • doubt that the trouble is more common' in cattle than is generally supposed, the sub- ject is worthy of the most serious consider- ation of the Government. ltesignation of Bon. Mr. Irraser. TORONTO, March 1.—In the Legislature Sir Oliver Mowat rose in his seat and made the announcement that Hon. C. F.

Tontsereo, March 2. -Mr, Fraser's re- signation was the sole topic of conversation among the members of both tides of the Melee yesterday. AfeColl moved for an order of the House for a return showing, (1) the adver- tisements for the sale of the oattle offered for sale at the Agricultural College in De- cember last, (2) the conditions of liale, (3) a list of the nainee of the purchasers and the prices paid for the animals sold, (4) 'a list of the names of the animals of which the purchasers retused to complete the iale, (0) a statement of the attilals sold and afterwards returned, (6) the names ot the persons from whom such animals, if any, were purclies el by the province and the prices paid for them, .(7) a list of the animals in respect of winch the test for tuberculosis was applied, and statement of the result in each ease.

Tire college at, Guelph was not the only institution of the kind at Which an outbreak of tuberculosis had occurred.

Then, at the ex- perimental farm, Ottawa, there was last year an outbreak of the same character.

Fraser a wave of applause by the members of the Moyed for an order of the House for a return giving the amount ex- pended in the year 1882 for alterations and • repairs to Agricultural Hall. 'Also, of the proportions of the amounts so expended • which were, according to the report of Mr. Tully, Engineer of the Public Works De- partment, to be paid by the Agricultural Arts Association, Mr. Philip Jamieson. (the tenant), and by the province respectively. Also, of the amounts re -paid by the Asso- ciation and Mr. Jamieson respectively; the dates of payment and the amounts dill remaining unpaid. Also, a copy of the lease or agreement with Mr. Jamieson for renting to him the shop in the hall, en- tered into in the year 188e, or now sub- sisting, He said that in 1882 the building 'which stands at the corner of Yonge and Queen streets, Totonto, was repaired. The tenant, Mr. Jamieson, was assessed with- out his consent about $2,000; the Agricul tural and Arts Association, also without consent, $6,000. Ten years had been al- lowed to elapse and neither of these amounts had been paid. No account had • even been opened in the Government books. Jamieson had a ten years' lease at $1,800, of the premises, 'which terminated in 1892, and strange to say the lease was renewed then for another ten years at $2,000 per annum. This rental was far too small. If it was worth $1,800 ten years ago it must be wottle at least three times that amount at present. • ' Hon. Ma Dryden, answering, said that the property belonged to the Agricultural and Arts' Association, and that the Gov- ernment had no centre .of it. He could not see why the matter -had come up again since it had been thrashed out already in the Public Accounts Committee. The Agricultural and Arts' Association had never consulted the Government in any way with reference as to how they should manage their property. Mr. Mowat moved the second reading of his bill to provide that assessments should only be made every three years, at the option of the municipalities. • The second reading was carried. Me Tait moved the second reading of his bill to amend the Municipal Aet. The bill provides that in case of cities having sewers for drainage peroses, no action shall be enforeeable against such munici- palityfor flooding of eellars or other premises where the rainfall which ince- shined such flooding exceeds one inch per hour. The bill passed the semind reading. The Legislative Oenimittre of the Ter - onto Trades and Labor Council waited upon the Government last evening for the purpose of urging the Government to in. crease the representation of Toronto it the Legislative Assembly in proportion to • population equal to other, portions of the province, The ministers present were Sir Oliver atowat. and Hon, Messrs, Hardy; Dryden and Gibson. Mr. Joseph Tait in- troduced, the deputation. Mr. D. J. O'Donolnie said if 20,000 population were the unit then Toronto was entitled to at least eight members.

Mr. Gladstone's withdrawal from the Premiership opens a most complex Mena - tion in domestic politics.

Henry Labouohere, the fighting leader of the Radicals, and most of his supporters moreover are not likely to be reconciled to a peer in the premiership even under Mr. Gladstone's influence, especially in view of Mr. Glad.

At present they are not disposed to take part in the conflict over the leadership, as they regard the pledges given by else Liberal party as satisfactory to the claims of Ireland. Much depends upon the attitude of Sir Wm. Hareoert, Chancellor' of the Exchequer, and Mr. Gladstone's tried lieutenant in the House of Commons. Sir. William seems to be the only possible leader of the Liberals in the Commons. Should he consent to Serve under Lord Rosebery much of the Ministerial difficulty would be removed, although minor causes of embarrassment would remain. The fact is that Lord Rosebery is a strong, reserved man. While many of the elder Ministerialiste may riot wish to serve under him he is the favorite of the Gov- ernraent majority of Liberal outside Par- liament. The voters prefer Lord Rose- bery to others, because he proved so amply his firmness, tact and foresighted- ness when he was chairmso of the London County Council. The Midlands and the North of England remember him for his success in settling the disastrous coal strike of last year, while Scotland, regarding her- self as the natural heir to the Liberal leadership, prefers him to any other candi- date yet mentioned for the premiership.
