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

The most alarming report laid before
the Legislature this session is that con-

ed by the report of Superintendent Mills,

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

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.

InereaSed Representation.
Tonoweo, March 07 -Hon. 0. F. 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

shined such flooding exceeds one inch per

Mr. Gladstone's withdrawal from the
Premiership opens a most complex Mena -
tion in domestic politics. What the con-
sequences will be it is now impossible to

advice and warnings. Difficulties will not

, Mr. Gladstone's name will be doubtless
of the greatest use to *leer the way of the
Cabinet as long as he shall remain in or
near the arena of.politics, but it must be
remembered that the Government majority
is small and that Lord Rosebery, who has
never been an ardent _home ruler, is likely
to have trouble with the Irish members
after the withdrawal of the old Premier's
conciliatory influence. 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

defuntely until their meeting on the eve of
the new session. 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.
