The British Commissioners af Lun-
stcy report an increase of 2,014 lunatics
during the last year. It is said the in-
crease is confined wholly to the pauper
and criminal Glasses. This is another
argument for the adoption of regula-
dons for preventing the marriage of
these classes.
M. Laurier's PositlOm
---
(Toronto Star, Indepeudent Liberal.)
lf one thing more thau another
stamps Me, Laurier as DO worthy of elle
Presnierehip of Canada it is the policy
of fearful incleeision on the Manitoba
school question, He spoke again last
night, ridiculed the actien a the Govern-
ment in re very interesting way, and
wound up by saying that the difficulty
weld be amicably arrangea by an able
statesman. ,
No one, however, has yet been, given
any pro ef that Mr, Leerier is that kind
ot a person. He has shown' :time and
again that he is a partizan politician.
He is a very admirable member of Par-
liameet, with a gift at saying nice things
to every person that approaches him,
but surely when a num fails to speak
mit and let the publio know what he
thinks, and where ho stands he has.
very little individuality and little
claim, to admiration, and is an un-
worthy successor of such Liberal leateer s
as Baldwin, Brown, Blake and Mao.
kenzie.
err. Laurier prides himself on being. a
British eubjeet and clams to be a
politician of the English salmi, but he
should remember that the little games
In which he is indulging and priding
himself on now has not a semblance of
British or Canadian statesmanship.
Every successful English statesman,
either in the Opposition or in the Ad-
ministration, copes with his opponenb
by defining clearly the policy which he
advocates.
The Canadian people are not fiokle,
and do not change unless somethieg is
to be gained. Mr. Laurier asked them
to support him in a policy which has no
features, and in which he has not
sufficient confidence to announce it.
It is the.boast of Chief Justice Mere.
aides Meads that ea a leader in the
Opposition he did much to direct
the legislation in the Ontario Par-
liment EThis is as it should be,for every
member of tbe Parliament has a duty
to perform. Mr. Laurier, in the present
case at least, gives the country little
opportunity of having confidence en-
ough in hirn to make him Premier or
admiring hint as leader of the Oppo-
sition.
XXX
Ottawa Citizen: Mr. Laurier in his
Speech at Sorel said he would rather
have an American dollar than a British
shilling. What did the phrase maker
mean by this invidious expression ?
England bought last year of our goo ds
to the extent of $60,000,000; the Uni-
ted States to the extent of $30,000,000.
Which was our best commercial friend?

'Under the revised Ontario Act to se.
cure to wino and children the benefit
a life inaurance, as amended by late
legislation, the insured has no power to
declare by his will that others than
those for whose benefit he has effected
the policy or declared it to he, shall be
entitled. to the insaranee money, nor to
apportion it among others than those
for whose 'benefit he has effected. the
policy or declared it to be. This is the
tenor of a decision of the Court of
Chancery.,
x
A commission has been looking into
the standard of edncationalism in the
Ottawa separate schools, where mem-
bers of an order known as Christen
Brothers were in charge. The Citizen
says the work done by these teachers
is deplorably inefficient; the text booke
are poor, dear and numerous, and in flee
French schools no attempt is made to
instruct children in English. Such a
report should have some weight with
Hon. G. W. Ross, the Ontario Alin-
ister of Eclacation, who appears to have
been blind to these charges so frequent-
ly made.
c.xx
Prosperity so conspicuous and wide-
spread as to be observed afar off is the
only emigration. policy which will be of
the slightest use to Canada. A good
crop safely harvested and sold at prices
which put everybody on the road to
wealth is all the immigration policy
thatManitoba needs. No policy can
conceal the prosperity of a country.
And if the substance of prosperity, be
lacking, a country cannot be filled up
by the attractive power of its shadow.
It will be no trouble to get more people
into Manitoba and tbe Territories when
the people who are there are prosperous
enough to excite the envious notice of
the world. Wild horses will not keep
people away from Canada, when this
country is notably prosperous, and no
immigration policy can drag people here
if prosperiby be not writ large in the
circumstances of the Canadian people.

Manitoba expeots this harvest to
yield, a sarplus of thirty million bushels
of wheat, and at 50 Cents a bushel _tint
the harvest would be worth fifteen reiee
lion dollars in enoney to the province.
Among three hundred thousand peo
pie fifteen million et,,Ilars is a good deal
of money. If the crop be not over es-
timated the price of fifty cents per bus-
hel is not excessiye, mid, the result. fif-
teen million dollars, would give five
hundred dollars per head to every man,
women: and child of the population.
The crop on a hundred acre farm, bear-
ing forty bushe's to the Acre, would be
worth two thousand dollars. Consider-
ing that hundred acre farms are coni-

Hon. Mr. Laurier still harps upon
the decline of 15 per cent. which he
says there has been in the value of farm
lands in Ontario, as a coneequence of
the National Policy. Perhaps he will
try to explain the fall in such values
under "free trade as it is in England."
A cable despatch says :--
“A remarkable inatanee of the depressed
condition of English agriculture mu:erred
at the sale of Langdon Abbey on Thurs-
day, when 639 acre e ot land, with farm
house, stabling, homestead, and seven
modern cottages, only realized $28,500,
'Fifteen years ago the property was valued
at $100,000, and four yeara ago it was
actnally mortgagee. for $70,000.
Here is a problem which will keep
Mr. Laurier up nights to cipher cut If
the N. P. is blameable for depressing
Canadian farm lands 15 per cent. in the
selling price, as he alleges, during the
pad fifteen years, what degree of blame
shall attach to -free trade for depressing
the selling prices of English farm lands
in the same period by from 0100,000 to
$28,500 ?

The collapse of the iron frame work
of a buildingin process of erection in
New York, end the death of fifteen men
in the ruins, has raised a serious quest-
ion ae to whether architects should not
be licensed. The cost of the building
which collapsed was $60,000. According
to the scale of rates. thoroughly com-
petent New York architect would • have
charged three per cent., or $1,800, for
supervising the work. A gentleman
who gained his knowledge of architec-
ture by inspiration, and not by study,
undertook to supervise the work for
one per cent. To save $1,200, the
owner entrusted the work to this
amateur.. A law compelling all archi-
tects to qualify for licenses by a course
of study and to allow no unlicensed
architect to supervise the erecting of a
large building might conflict with the
dislike of monopolies. This happy -
go lacky methodof allowing
anybody who can get a commission to
pay the architect has its dangers, as
was proved in New York, where the
incompetence of this elleged architect
cost fifteen men their lives.

The hopeful feature of the situat-
ion in the scheduling of Canadian
cattle In Britain is that there are in-
fluental interests there which are as
earnest for the removal of the em-
bargo as our own cattlemen. It
should be our aim to strengtheu the
hands of those men. When inn
Long, President of the I3oard of
Agriculture, in Parliament the other
day said that any general statemeni
of the freedom of Canadian herds
,from pleuro -pneumonia was worth-
less in presence of the specific reports

ment that the disease had been dis-
covered among a consignment of
Canadian cattre landed at Deptford,

establish the live cattle trade haci no

•Light frosts are reported from Novdele,
Birtle, Binsearth Langenburg, Salteoats,
Yukon, and heavier at Rapid (3ity, Man.,
where potato 'linen were destroyed a good
deal. The impression is that in other
places very little damage was done, eeeept
at Newdate. The crops are mit to a eon:
siderable extent, and as this is all a stock
raising country, it not frequently depend-
ed ontthe higheet 'rale at wheat. lf any
grain 13 very much damaged it w ill be fed
to the etock, but a ;great deal of the grain
whieh is stilt uncut is beyond any great
damage by frost.
