The Toronto Globe's c onundrum,
"Has tariff reform hurt American in-
dustries?" has brought an answer
from Chicago, The Inter -Ocean re.
plies, Well, to put it in figures, we
should say about $1,000,000,000." We
beg leave to mention the fact that the
Inter -Ocean is not a Tory journal sub-
sidized by the Dominion government.
Cholera is raging within a few miles
of Constantinople; it is killing theme -

probably prevent the spread of the

English farmers are protesting
against the discrimination in rates
made by the railroads. Butter and
cheese landed at Southampton are sent
to London for $1,50 a ton, while for
the same articles made in England the
charges are $4.50 a ton. Imported

$1.25, and from Winchester, twelve
miles nearer London, for $2.37.

In getting rid of the visiting English
university cricketers for two hundred

The tourists are the pick of the elevens
of the two great university cricket
teams. They have ell of the advan-
tages which time and money can give
them. Canadians who play the good
old game do so at expense. Few of
them can afford to practise more than
three times a week_ They have diffi-
culty in devoting whele days to their

There seems to be some possibility
after all of the Dominion Government
risking a conteat in West Huron, The
Ottawa Journal says that while the
Governnient is nob likely to be in any
particular burry in issuing a writ for an
election in Wess Huron to fill the
seat for the Dominion Parliament just
recated by Mr. Patterson, there is no
doubt but a contest will take place
there before Parliament meets next
January.

Has Wilfrid Laurier forgotten Geo-ge
W. W. Dawson. The Liberal from
Addington did his party a good turn
when, in 1893, be arose in the House of
Commons and, as the only Orange Lib-
eral in the Gouse, assailed Ron. Clarke
• Wallace. The Controller of Customs
• bad made a speech at Kingston in which
he pledged the Changernen to send
"active aid"—otherwise fighting men,
• to Ulster to resist Horne Rule. Dawson
had a text, and heiereached an effective
sermon therefrom. Re was heard with
attention when, as an Orangeman, he
renounced the Grand Sovereign. A
• Cabinet Minister, the Solicitor-Gener-
• al, Darby Bergin, and half a score of
Conservatives united with him and the
4
Libetals in centuring ler. Wallace.
And now Mr, Laurier tells a Chicoubimi
audience that the Liberals have no
Orangemen in their ranks. In 1893 he
was glad to have the aid of Orangeman
Dawson. •

The Se aforth Expositor states that the
Registrarship of Huron ahould be givea
to the person who has done the Liberal
party the greatest service, These are
our views, and one of the men en-
titled to such consideration, is Mr. Ar-
chibald Bishop, ex -el. P P. for South
Huron. Mr. Bishop carried the Riding
fur years with a majority of from 400
to 900, which, in view of the fact of the
late contest being won by his successor
by only sorne 17 majority, would nu.
press the belief that he had done con-
siderable for his party during tha past
number of years. It will thus be in
order for the Expositor to advocate the
claims of Mr. Bishop.

About four weeks ago in China a
number of missionaries were massacred.
Already the dispatches tell us some 15
or 20 of the assassins have been caught,
tried, convicted ar.d executed. A man
named Holmes hes in Philadelphia jail
charged With several 3:murders. He
has been there many reeks and it is
not yet certain where or when he will
be tried. Sometemes he is hooka for
Chicago, and sometimes for Toronto.
Now it is said that Philadelphia will
see at least the opening gcene in what
will probably be the last tragedy of his
life. The Chinese may be behind some
of us in the matter of religion, but they
can give :America points on how to
speedily and surely punish orline.

La Patrie reports Air Laurier's speeoh
at Chicoutimi so far as it refers to the
school question, adding that it gives the
exact text becauae Conservative journ-
als have been publishing fantastic ver-
sions. Here is what the leader : said "I
know that I shall be called upon to ful-
fil this engagement, because the Govern-
ment itself caunot settle the question.
'flow can you expect that men who are
sworn to suppress Catholic influence
will re-establish the Catholic schools
which are the source of that influence ?
Thenk God, there is not an Orangeman
among us the Liberals. The day when
the people confide to me the direction
of affeirs of the country, I shall have
but to appeal to the Christian senti-
ments of my party to render justice to
those to whom justice is due," The
Ontario wing of.the party was -counting
upon the hated "Orjamstes" not long
ago. Now Mr. Laurier is grateful to
the Almighty that there is nob an
Orangeman among us."

Discredtted Leader.
---
So far there has been no attempt to
impugn the despatch crediting Hon.
Wifrid Laurier with certain remarks at
a meeting in Quebec. If Mr. Laurier
cannot clear himself of the utterances
attributed to him, every fair minded
man in Ontario cannot bet conclude
that he is simply a political charlatan.
His answer as leader of the Liberal
party, was that if legislation were in-
troduced into the Dominion Parliament
favoring the Roman Catholic minority
in Manitoba he would support it.
Therefore, it seems, Mr. Laurier pro-
poses to put his religion above Pro-
vincial rights and common justice. He
will compel his party to support a
measure that p'eases a sect, not the
nation.
Outside of Quebec it is generally
agreed that interference with Mani-
toba is wrong. Still a decision of the
Imperial Privy Council gives some
ground for such interference. Sir
Mackenzie Howell and his Cabinet in-
terpret the judgment as compulsory.
The Government claims to be acting
because it has to If it is, its action is
at least conscientious. But what about
Mr. Laurier ? A few years ago he
supported the Jesuits Estate bill on
the ground that to veto it would be
an interference with provincial rights.
Now he proposes te trample on Pro-
vincial rights in the interests of the
Roman Catholic minority of Manitoba.
That is Mr. Laurier I
He is evidently now in the hands of
the old crowd. He alight as well
understand that this Province at least
will not be run by Sir Richard Cart-
wright, Hon. David Mills, lohn
Cbarl-
ton and J. D. Edgar. They might be
honest enough, but seventeen years ago
they lost the confidence of the Domin-
ion, It hes never been restored. They
might not sell the legislation of this
country for political church support but
they have never vyel-, shown their in-
dependence in that respect. IVIr
Laurier for some time has been guided
by the rising members of the Liberal
party. James Subherland. of Oxford;
William Mulock, of this city ; and
Joseph Martin, of Winnipeg, were the
chief directors of the Liberal party.
They are real Liberals, not ultra -Tories
like Mills and:Cartwright who raasquer:
ade under a name that their pates dis-
credit, Sutherland, Mulock and Martin
are men who would probably have
stood by Provincial rights, and would
have Mr. Laurier do the same. The
Liberal leader's speech however, shows
thatiho has shaken the advisers whom
Ontario might have had confidence in
and taken up with the old crowd. He
will fiud as a result that Ontario will
shake him and his oompany in the
same manner when the time cornea

Harvest hands are still needed. From
$20 to $40 a month is offered, accord-
ing to locality and demand. The
loan companies assure the farmers
that they will be very lenient re-
garding payments, in order that the
farmers may not be at the mercy of
the grain sharks.

fruit -bearing life in store. It is cap-
able of yielding 30 barrels of apples
in one season.

A private report from Red River
Valley says that there is considerable
trouble with smut there. It is be-
lieved that the use of the same seed
over again year after year causes
some of the smut.
A report comes of one field Of 21
acres which yielded over a thousand
bushels of wheat.
On George Simpson's fatm, near
Portage. it field of 40 acres of summer
fallow yielded 45 bushels per acre of
fine wheat. This is authentic.
Thornas Charlton had an average
of 32 bushels off 40 acres from a field
inside of the town ihnit.
The wool product of the United
States, as shown by the statement of

including 40,000,000 pulled wool,again
at 325,210,712 pounds in 1894. Re-
duced to a secured basis, the total

The number of sheep on April 1 is es-
timated at, 39,949,338, and the average
weight of fleece at 5.375 pounds. Last

Two years ago this September,
Messrs. John Redmond; Maurice Burke
and John Galyin were camping and
fishing at the mouth of the Innisville
river. Mr. Galvin was carrying at the
time his false tooth and plate in his
pocket. He lost it during the outing,
but had no conception where. They
searched all over and. about the camp,
and made a second journey to the
ground from town, but it failed to res-
pond to their anxious scrutiny. A few
days ago Mr. Burke and Mr. Redmond
sat down to dinner at the upper waters,
Among the viands was a luccious black
bass. To their utter amatement, as
they carved, a curious hard substance
appeared, which on being examined was
found to be the identical tooth and
plate lost two years ago. Their aston-
ishment was boundless, and their
pleasure at the recovery was no less ex-
ph‘nalve than that oflhe owner, who is
now wearing it. A is interesting to
note that it was as well preserved as
when it was lost.—Carleton Piece (Ont)

dangerous symptom. It meana that the

and also for that weekness which prevails
at the change of eetteon, climate or life.
