NOTES ANL> COMMENTS. -- Parliament has been summoned to me.et on April 18th for the despatch of business. This settled the much vexed question, and. will no doubt be a relief to Liberal candidates, who feared an early election. x x x The Dominion Government has called uponManitoba to gips remedial legislation to the Catholics. The Manitoba Legis- lature now in session will refuse to obey the order. That refusal will be laid befere Parliament when the sesaion opens on the 18th prox., and then the Dominion Govern ment will force Mr. Laurier and his followers in the House to commit themselves to either grant- ing or refusing the Catholics remedial X X X Following the last Dominion zeneral elections there were a large number of bye -elections and nealry all went for the Government candidates, in many cases reversing the majorities of a few weeks or months previous. The Liberal press at that time, without exception, attrib- uted the reverses to the corrupted con- dition of the electorate and the corrupt - hag influences of the Government. From London to Haldirnand the bi4- elections since last June have been tremendous reversals hi favor of the Ontario Government. How does the Liberal press account for it 7-Mitchel1 Recorder, (Liberal . ) x x x . •Steps are bein g taken by the Depart- ment of Trade and Commerce t� ascertain the terms on which a direct steamship service can be maintained between Canada and France and Bel- gium On this side of the Atlantic the ports will be Montreal and Quebec in summer and Hanfax and. St. John in winter. With such a service, a great impetus to our trade with the countries named is expected. Besides this, a direct line to France is understood to be necessary before Canada can enjoy the full advantages of the French treaty. Tenders will shortly be asked for the service, and this will enable the Gov- ernment to form a conclusion as to its probable cost. x x x • The Patrons in the Legislature are trilling with their constituents on near- ly every question that comes before the Ontario Parliament. It is now quite' evident that they intend to vote the Mowac ticket every time, no matter what question arises. The Eastern • Creameries .Association at its meeting last winter petitioned the Dominion for • aid. in the way of marketing and export- ing Canadian butte; as the keen com- petition ef the Australian and Danish article was placing our butter at a dis- count. There is no doubt these cream- eries and cheese associations in the country represent farmers views and opinions, as well as do the patrons. And on this account the Dominion Government complied with the request of these farmers and butter makers,and have agreed to give 20 cents a pound for the best creamery made butter. But we find the Patrons voting against Mr. Whitney's motion, which was as fol- lows "That this House having regard kr the butter trade in this province, and the depressed condition thereof, has observe with satisfaction the announcement of e intention of tbe Government of Canada to p-ovido for :the immediate shipment of fresh made creamery butter to Great Britain and to putehaee at 20 °elate per pound all creamery bettor of the gnatity made betatien 1st January and 1st April, 1805, end bearing in mind the expenditure already incurred by the Goyernments of the Provioce and Dominion to improve and foster the dairy intermits of the country, reepeetfally urges upon the Government of Canticle the advisability and necessity of providing ouch 1urher or Other aid as may bo found to be necessery from time to time in order that the pro- ducers of fresh made Oreareery buttee may Hecure the fall benefit of such expendi- e ture," What the Patrons should have done ata representative farmers and to be in • keeping With their brothee farmers • of the bubter trade, was to support this •reselixtiom if they iotended to be eon,. eistent with their professions and tree to their own cellina Acting thrcitgb the bloed, Hood's Sar, ettparille net only etude scrofula, salt theum, etc, but gives health and vigcr teethe *bele bodyIla, fr B EXBI'Ell TIMES. 111111100=11111 weimplemiiislinimil41104•1411117. 4.1.1~11111~NDMI111101•1111111111111• Still another Methodist cherth hes Grain From OttaWale Tragedy in Toronto, been burned down -this time the Main street elturele Exetor--making four handsome structures belonging to the denomination in Western Ontario dee- troyed. within the past mouth.

Unless these Ares are incendiary, the coincid- enoe of their °eminence is moat extra- ordinary. There is not the slightest conception of a motive for the burning of Main street church x The Fees Commission recommend that no member of Parliament shall be eligible for a fee paid offiee until a certain time after hie term as a legislator expires ; that all the revenues of such offices, over a certain specified sum, shall be payable to the public treasury; and that all vacancies shall be filled within a given period. If members of Parliament are barred for five years aftee retirement, if provision is made for filling all offices withirt two months after vacancy, and if the emoluments payable are made to correspond with the earning ability of,the office -holders, the worse evils in the present system will be done away with. x x The British Parliament has affirmed that it is right that membere of parlia- ment should be paid. The motion to that effect was strongly opposed by the Conservative leaders, and as firmly maintained by the Liberal leader, Sir Win. Vernon .Harcourt. There are now workingmen M. Ps in. the House, but they are maintained by the voluntary assessment of the members of their unions,though they represenb the ,vrhons people. Britain is now a democratic • country, and it is fair that there should be no class discriminations in the rep- resentation of the people. So long as only the rich can sit in Parliament, un- less a member's friends assess thena selves for his support, so long will there be a grievance that should be redressed. Payment of M. P's is now within sight in the Motherland. x x x Gananoque once had extensive carri- age tvcrks, but Brockville drew them away withsa bait in the form of a $50,- 000 bonus. The town which euffered the lose is now asking the Legislature for authority to give or lend $10,000 ir, order to secure another industry to re- place the one that is gone. These in cidents show the iniquity of a system • under -which muincipalities are allowed to grant bonuses as all. • If one is per- mitted to do this another is forced to keep eyen and so towns go on bidding against each other to the detriment alike of their own interests and. legi- tirnate manufacturing enterprise. The whole system should be stopped right now by an amendment to the law not only absolutely prohibiting the giving of loans or bonuses but which will also provide for uniformity in regard to the civic taxation imposer' upon manufac- turing industries. • x x x The news regarding the condition of Queen Victoria, sent by cable, is alarm- ing. Courtiers and attendants on royalty are prone to keep back iptelit- gence regarding the physical condition of the sovereign, and there may be much truth in the statement now made that the health of the Queen is decided- ly unsatisfactory, and that a fatal result or, at least, an early retirement, is among the probabilities. Victoria has been a modern sovereign, and there will be general regret when she is com- pelled to lay ilnwn the scepter. Yet it cannot be said that she has not enjoyed a long and eventful reign -a reign fraught, in the main, with good results to humanity, and more particularly to the people over whom she was set at the early age of 19. With one except- ion, no other sovereign in the 1,000 odd years which have elapsed since the Saxons and Danes arrived in England has reigned for so long •a period as Queen Victoria. Henry III. reigned 58 years, but nine of them elapsed be- fore he was of age. Edward III. reign- ed for 50 years and Queen Elizabeth was on the throne 44 years. Then George III. reigned 59 years, but the concluding nine were under a regency, necessiteted by the clouded reason sat the sovereign, George III. alone had a longer reign credited to him than Queen Victoria, who has now been sovereign of Great Britain for 58 years. Then her Maje,sty has attained an age that few British sovereigns have reach- ed. On May 24 next she will be 76. It is remarkable that only two British soverigns have held sway till they reach- ed. that age. Only four reigned till they were '70 years of age. Elizabeth was 70 when she died, George II. was '77, George III. was 82, and William IV., who immediately preeeded the Queen, was 72 when he passed away. Thus, in the natural order of things, the Queen has enjoyed an unusually long life and an. unusually long reign. Take K. D. 0, fot sour stomach and tick • headache, Body Rested, Mind at Ease.

The buildingis the finest Methodist i Church n the city, and cost $25,000. It was. thoroughly repaired and beautified inside • and outside two years ago, at a cest Of between $4,000 and $5,000. The firemen made a brave fight to save.it,.and in a short time had five good streams playing On the building, but unfortunately • the fire could not be got at in time to check the flames sufficiently to get them under .control, and by 6 o'clock it was evident that the church was doomed. At 6,45 the roof fellin, and nothingremained but the walls and the tower. The fire is supposed to have originated in. one of the furnaces, which was being heated for the evening services. The loss is estimated, at $80,000, including a fine organ worth $3,500. Insurance $17,- 000. General Ifiection. ----- Ottawa, March 25, -It is altoget er unlikely that nnportant legisla- tion will be submitted to the a,p- proaching session of Parliament. For the last two months the painting bureau has been preparingthe voters' lista,. in order that when Parliament met it might be free to turn out, the sessional work. This has retarded the • painting of reports and other documents.which Must be laid before Parliament. • So far as can be gathered, however, the work of the session will be facilitated as much as possible. That it will be a long one the Liberals predict; but, if they prolong it, they do so at the expense ofethe country and the cost of votes. There is a .feelingabroad now that the general election; with which the Opposition haf beenethreatening the country, ,liase. recetted considerably into the distance. The present Par- liaauent will not Pass out of existence until the 14th of April, 1896, and all . that the law requires is that within a year from that date there 'should be another pessiten. So, that, if thought advisable, the, people might be given till the end. of next year to meditate upon the issues that are arisin,g, and determine how they will mark their ballots. • The Latest News.

This would mean that a, peep. son carrying a policy and haling a toss by fire would be paid three quartere or two thirds of the amount of that lose. A Ion of $500 would be settled by paying $875 or To claim the tall policy the loss would have to be over, $1,300 or $1,500.
