was not a suspicion of pleura-pum-

800 reasons why the embargo should
not be imposed. On the authorization
of Premier Abbott he said to the Im-
perial authorities that if before im-
posing the schedule they would con-
duct further veterinary ex:xi-Mr:Akins,

periments were going on stop all fur-
ther shipments of cattle to the old

reasonable one, and were willing to
accept it, but on the question being
referred to the law officers they were
told they could not do so; that the
report of their veterinary advisers
was before them, and they must net
on it. Thus the embargo was hnpos-
ed. with great reluctance ex the part
of the Imperial authorities.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The municipal committee of the
Legislature have passeda bill by which
councils shall expire absolutely at the
end of the year for which they are ele-

inquest was unnecessary. Patterson
was about 50 years of age and un-.

The Berlin News complains that
the Ontario Legislate show an an-
xiety to legislature against the towns.
It says "the laws are now that the
people of towns have hardly any
rights left, that are worth having.
Towns are even legislated out of the
rights to have the cordwood they buy
on the market measured.. Any one
who may have watched the proceed-
ihgs of the present session must know
that no scheme has been omitted that

Field's was it bad man and deserved a

was amenable to the courts, and even
though those whose duty it was to set
the law in motion failed in that duty,

While we have been impatiently
waiting for warmer weather, in other
• parts of the continent the climatic
....conditions have been remarkable. In
far north Alaska, for example, they
have experienced the coldest weather
, known there in 20 years. During
January and February the tempera -
lure was never above zero a,t Juneau
or Sitka, and snow fell almost contin-
uously. To balance, this, an unusual
spell of warm.weather during the
early part of this month hatched out
millions of grasshoppers, prematurely,
in Oregon. Then came along an un-
usual cold snap, 'which killed practical-
ly ever one of the insects. Consequently
the farmers thereabouts are doing the
remarkable thing of rejoicing over un-
seasonable weather. In Southern
California, a former resident writes
us, they are already experiencing very
warm weather, and at; Orange, in
that State, the other cley, a farmer
and his two sons were killed by light-
ed:no., while sitting at the table, eating
en. supper.

Britain's proposed cattle exclusive bill
is really indirectprotection. The debate
on the measure has abounded inconfes-
sions of conventional attachment to
free trade, associated with an unex-
pressed determination to secure the
benefits of protection to the down-
trodden English cattle raiser. The bill
excites no formidableopposition in the
House of Commons outsidethe Radical
and Liberal ranks. It will be enthusi-
astically received in the House of Lords
and once it is law nothing short of a
great national agitation will ever take
it off the statute book. The House of
Lords still represents the landed in-
terests of ijEngland. It is many long
deers since England had it Government
which showed the faintest inclination
to do anything for the landed interest,
and the peers willtake care that any-
thing that Salisbury does in aid of dis-
tressed agriculture will not be undone
in a hurry.

It is a singular coincidence that all
the Liberal politicians and Liberal
journals a the Dominion are silent
when the subject of the American
tariff on foreign importations comes
up for discussion. Our very moderate
impostscin foreign manufactures is de-
nounced as it "robberyonthe country,"
and yet our Liberal friends have no
words of denunciation for the Ameri-
can system of Protection! Just now,
as we have already shown, the battle
of the tariffs is the great hone of con-
tention between the rival factions
across the lines; the Democrats favour-
ing the present system of imports (and
which is at least 25 per cent. higher
than ours), while the Republicans in-
sist upon an almost prohibitory scale
of duties, inclusive of taxes on foreign
grown wools. The Reform party in
the Doniinion, in their eagerness for it
remedial measure of taxation, fail to
show how, if adopted, the money is to
be found to satisfy the interest of the
national debt. Sweep away some
$19,000,000 arising from customs, , and
how shall the deficit be made up? The
only possible resort would be direct
taxation in real estate. Are they pre-
pared for such a turn -over? Are the
farmers, who we are told already bear
the vast bulk of taxation to be
threatened with the additional harden
of an extended land tax?

Mr. Justice Robertson WES asked on
Friday by the father of Oliver Miller,
of Stratford, to have his sou officially
declared dead, so that money now in
court, due to him may be paid to his
heirs. The son was born in Stratford,
and in 1854, when eighteen years old,
went to Denver, where he worked in
the 1.111INNS for three years. He started
to return to Stratford, but joined an
exploring party bound for Elizabeth-
town, New Mexico. On their way
south they met several bands of In-
dians, and all the whites were mas-
sleeted except Miner, Who reached
Elizabethtown and worked as a miner.
Miller wrote several letters home, and
at last his parents received one in July
1839, stating thathe had had it log
broken in three phices by the caving
in of a mine. Since then nothing has
been heaed from him, and it is steppes -
ed that he ie dead. He reserved de-
cision.
