he average age of Lord Salisbury's
Cabinet is 58, that of Mr. Gladstone's
was 56, and after he resigned 54. Thus,
while in Great Britain the young man
with talents is recognized, it is to men
of experience that the affairs of the
great Engllsh speaking nation are in
the main committed. Gladstone had
reaehed the age of 58 before he became
Premier,

While in Lucknow, Ont., the Metho-
dist, Anglican and Presbyterian con-
gregations recently held joint t ervices
to pray for rain, the Catholic com-
munities in some parts of Quebec have
been holding special religious gather-
ings with the object of praying that the
grasshopper plague be stayed, Despite
skeptics to the contrary, it is evident
that the power of prayer is still strangly
believed in by very many.

The returns now at hand show the
election of 338 Conseryatives, 27 Un -
/masts, 176 Liberals, 69 anti-Parnellites
and 12 Parnellites. •Thus the Coluser-
vative-Unionist majority, subjected to
the results of the three disbricts yet to
be heard from, will be 153. The Con-
servative majority over any coalition
that can be made will be nine. The
Unionists haye gained. 110 seats and the
Liberals 20.

That insurance frauds were occasion-
ally perpetrated the public haye been
all aware. But recent revelations have
exposed a most appalling state of
affairs. The Pitezel murder case is
but one of a series which either have
been or now are before the courts. Dr
Buchanan and the tiro Middlernarch
murderers have paid the penalty of
their crimes, blood for blood. Dicks,
accused of killing his wife, and the two
Hyams have yet to be proved innocent.
Several cases are alao before the courts
of the -United States.
Again there are grave suspicions that
aild murder for insurance is being
largely practised. Aside from this the
companies appear to have been system-
atically defrauded by graveyard insur-
ance and the substitution of corpses.
By these frauds large sums have been
stolen from them, and the premiums
paid by those who desired only honest
protection for their families have been
consequently abnormally high. Prompt
legislation is imperative. First it
muat aim at the better protection of
life, next at the preventien of fraud so
that these insurance institutions will be
enabled to offer proper protection at
rates inuch lower than they now
charge.

Mr. W. H. flutchins the popular
representative for North Middlesex in
the Dominion Parliament, who never
Imes an opportunity of looking after
the interests of his constituents, has
been giving special attention to dairying
interests. *Speaking in committee of
the whole of the efforts being made by
the Government to develop the butter
trade with Great Britain, he said :—"I
notice that in this arrangement the
GOvernmett inolucled only creamery
butter, although the dairy commissioner
abates thab the. quantity of dairy but-
ter in Ontario is some 30,000,000
pounds, whereas the amount of cream-
ery butter produced is only 1,750,006
poutedin In Western Ontario there are
very few creameries, considering the
amount of butter manufactured. The
farmere -themselves manufacture the
butter, and in many cases it is just as
good as the creernery butter, but they
have no facilities for handling it. This
cold storage is going to be of great ben-
efib to the farmers where the trains will
run, but Inotice that, the Lendoto Hur-
on & Bruce branch., and the breech
from Sarnia to Stratford have not been
included in the arrangement. These
districts inchido the 1=00 cle'reing

age at some point in the west, say
Stratford, Mid aconmulate car loads of
butter there it would be a better ar-
rangement than carrying it in smell
Jots through to Montreal. I think it
would also promote the quality of the
butter to have it impacted at a point
like Stratford."

Professor Wiggins, of Ottawa, states
that the drought which has prevailed.
in Ontario this year is caused, as in
1887, by the absorption of eleotrioity by
the telegraph wires, which now are
plentiful throughout the country. The
doctor talksentertainingly, but he
seems to be a trifle off in his deductions
oz how conaesib that in Western On-
tario—in the district of which delta is
the centre—the drought hes done com-
paratively little damage, whereas in
Grey and Bruce counties great havoe
has overtaken the crops There are
far more electric wires in this part of
Canada than there is in the region bor-
dering on Georzian Say, which has
suffered the greatest injury.

The Dominion Government has been
blamed by opponents in regard to the
purchase of a quantity of butter at 20
cents a pound with the object of re-
lieving a temporary congestion of the
market, thus making it easier for the
farmers to sell their new product. The
Grecian Government however, is equally
alive to the interests of the producers
of one of the staple crops of that coun-
try—a bill was lately introduced pro.
viding for the extension of 20 per cent.
of the quantity of the new currant crop,
with the object of withdrawing so much
from the export trade, and converting it
to other use,say to be sold by the Gov-
ernment at a very low price exclusively
for spot spirits and wine manufacture,
or to be destroyed. The full crop for
title year is estimated to be about 145,-
000 tons, and the prospect of a reduct-
ion by withdrawal from market to the
extent of 20 per cent. has already
had the effect of advancing the markeb
for export. This may be called by our
Opposition friends a system of hateful
paternalism, but it is in pursuance of
che vital interests of the working people,
and it is a moot question if a Govern-
ment is not as well justified in coining
to the rescue of the toilers in a case of
too lavish nabural production paralyzing
their energies, as it is admitted to be
in helping them to improved methods
of production by sueh experimental
processes as those carried on at the
public farms,

Settlement and Compromise.
--
Archbishop Langevin is reported to
have said in one of his interviews that
he will accept no compromise on the
school question from Mr. Greenway.
It would be interesbing to know what
his Grace regards as a settlement, and
what he means by a compromise. In
Mr. McOarthy's recenb speeoh the an-
nouncement was made that a number
of the schools that were hitherbo Sep-
arate has come -under the Public School
lasv of Manitoba. This statement is
well founded The Public School law
requires the schools to be properly
equipped and efficiently officered. It
adds that the religious instruction shall
be of a character prescribed by the
Adyisory Board—a central edecational
body If the local trustees care to use
the religious instruction they are free
to do so; if they object to the instruct-
ion the schools are to have neither
prayers nor .Bible readings, Under a
strict reading of the law the schools in
the exclusively Roman Catholic dis-
tricts, in order to become public, and
to be entitled to the taxes and the
school grant, have the choice of accept-
ing the prayers and Bible readings or of
having no relioion in them at all. But
the strict reading is not adhered to in
the case of the Separate Schools declar-
ed to have become Public. The re-
quirements as to equipment and effici-
ency are observed as they should be;
but when the religious question is
reached the province, instead of inaist.
ing upon exercises that are held by the
Roman Catholics to be protestant, ot
of demanding that there be no exercise
of any kind, permits Roman Catholic
prayers to be used, the exercises taking
place at the close of the school day.
This seems to be an adaptation of the
Irish National school system. It does
not give Separate schools in the ordinary
acceptation of the term, for the schools
are public and national. But at the
same time it respects religious scruples
in that it does not insist upon observan-
ces to which the Roman Catholics
object, or exclude observances which
they regard as necessary. It would be
well to know if the legalization of this
principle by Manitoba would be treated
as an unacceptable compromise. If
not solution what does his Grace want?
One thing is very certain, and that is
that should the adoption of the Quebec
system, providing as it does fer the
handing of the educational machinery
over to the Bishop, be looked for some-
body is doomed to disappointment. We
have had in recent years a very bitter
controversy on the subject of the
Quebec schools, the leaders in the
struggle for reform being gentleinen
andjournals whose attachment to the
Roman Catholic Church is surely nob
to be questioned. One of the prinoipal
movers in the campaign is Hon. L R.
Masson, regarded not long ago as an
Ultramontane leader. Mr, Masson
commenced by moving in the Council
of Public Instruction thab no teacher be
employed who has not a certificate of
cempetency, and followed this motion
up with a demand thab all schools ritual
be inspected. The necessity for those
resolutions must have been urgent. As
a matter of fact, the Moniteur dui Com-
merce had declared tbat something
mulit be done to seoure for the people
a nineteenth century education, while
Mr. Gene had oried, "Render education
practical, and we shall have a gener-
ation of business met." The refusal
of the bishops te accept the proposit-
ions was a disappointment all round,
and the disepponitraerit was the mere
alavere wheu it was announced that
what their Lordshipwould not do the
Legislature, seeingthab it had moons
eed cehttol in the matter of eclueation,
could not do. If the planting in Mani
