An idea of the time covered by the
period of Conservative supremacy at
Outtawa is conveyed by the fact that
way. tie refused to have auytiiing to
do with protection. To the Liberals
belongs none of the credit tor the posi-
tion that Canada occupies among the
nations to -day. The Liberai-Couser-
vatives hand over to Mr. Laurier and
his party a consolidated Dominion, a
country that lavs made, and is making
substantial progress, a country that
has as few ailments as any other on
tlae face of the globe. We have no
difficulty M meeting our interest
charges. We can borrow Money al-
most as cheaply as Great Britain her-
self. We have no difficulty in raising
tbe revenue necessary to administer
the affairs of the state. The Govern-
ment has left behind it no currency
muddle such as threatcas the welfare
of one neighbors. The incoming Gov-
ernment falls heir to no legacy of
woe. The countvy is handed over in
good running order.
The new Premier has no new policy
to inaugurate. The only reforms pro-
mised, so far, consist of a new -Iran-
,ehise net, are -arrangement of the elec-
toral constituencies, and a general
omnibus pelicy Of economy and busi-
ness progression. We are not even
goingto have free trade, which the
Libexals have heralded as the one me -
alterable 'plank in their platform for
the past twenty years. Canada has a
new set of Mere and a .new party at
the head of alla.rs to -day, but no new
policy. The Liberals have from time
to time proposed verious remedies for
the betterment of the country, includ-
ing the project of commercial union
with the United States. But a hick ef

Everyone looked to see Mr. Mac -
minim called to the Department of
Agriculture. He is a practical and
model farmer of Huron. No man in
the House of Commons, if we can take
Mr. Macmillan's own word for it, better
understands the run of the farmer's
interest than he. But that also goes
to Quebec. M‘Fisher may pass for
a faxiuer, and he bas wealth if not
experience enough -,,to :pursue suchlnew
and drastic experiments with cattle
as may present 'themselves to the
academical mind, =tinctured with
the practical knowledge of the farm-
yard. 'We are sure the Ontario far-
mers can dispense with such innova-
tions in advenced farming. 1». Mac-
millan would on all bands have been
regarded as a safe man for the bead
of the Bureau. But, like Mr. Mills,
he "isn't in it."

Co-operation has become a national
characteristic of the English people.
Some seven million people in England
and Scotland receive their groceries,
clothing and household supplies
through co-operative societies. Of
these there exist 1811 in the United
Kingdom, The sales effected by them
in 1885 amounted to over $260,000,000,
while the profits gor the year were
25,000,000. If L., smaller traders in
Canada have the big departmental
stores to ccntend with, those in Great
Britain have the co-operative socie-
ties pushing them tn tb e wall. Through
the agency of the 1. -operative socie-
ties, the services of thousands of mid-
dlemen are dispensed with, and goods
are sold at remarkably low rates. The
societies have advaoced so far as to
even assume the function of manufac-
turers. For some reason or other the
principle, or at least e practice of ca -
operation does not seem to take in
t country.

We notice in a recent issue of the
Statisi, London, t two-page descrip-
tion ni a Kootenay mining enterprise.
The company operating the nine in
question has a paid up capital of Z100,-
000 and the Board of Directors consists
of gentlemen largely interested in the
gold mines a the Transvaal. It is now
certain that the gold mines of Canada
will be exploited for allthey are worth.
If your mines are as rich and as nu-
merous as bas been claimed for them,
if the Kootenay district is superioras
a mining country to South Africa, then
Canada may in due time expect towit-
ness a boom in no way inferior to that
which has made the name ol:South Af-
rica known all over the world. There
is unlimited capital in London await-
ing invez-tment, and millions of money
will undoubtedly come this way if tne
expectations of British Columbia as a
mining country aro even partially real-
ized.

David Mills was an able stalwart
of the Liberal party before Mr. Lau-
rier was a possibilty; he was doing
sledge -hammer. work for the weakly
Opposition when Sir Oliver Mowat,
Mr. Fielding and. Mr. Blair bad no
thought of helping their party to vic-
tory in the Federal arena. Now +hese
gentleinen have stepped into the ,,ace
'Mr. Mills helped to win, and he has
been given the cold shoulder, while Mr.
Paterson and Mr. Tarte, who went
down with him in the elections, are
to have safe seats and portfolios found
for them. It is a bitter cup from
which Mr. Mills has been forced to
drink. But, perhaps, the reason may
be found. in his attitude on the school
question, which was not that of his
party, and. which was extensively used
by the Tupper party.

Mr. Alex MeGaw, one of the most

with this announcement, Mr. McCaw
was asked if he thought the cnange
of Government would materially affect
the grain trade. Mr. McGaw replied,
"I do not think so. I cannot believe
there will be any change in the duties
on wheat and flour. Were such change
proposed, it would be opposed tooth
and nail by all the western members.
This country, as a matter of fact, has
prospered under these duties, and I
believe that Mr. Laurier recognizes the
fact. The present dut'es on wheat
and flour protect the manufacturers
and grain growers without doing in-
jury to anyone."
It has leaked out that instead of
returning to his country home Satur-
day, as was announced, when he left
town, Premier Greenway quietly de-
parted for Ottawa. This fact, coupled
with to -day's news that Mr. Laurier
has in the meantime left vacant the
portfolio of the Interior, leads to the
belief that Mr. Greenway will eater

circumstances which lead to this belief.
211110 BALLO STEr.F.101NO.
Major McGillivray San Some Infernal
&mutant Did the Trion'.
Toronto, July 14.
Major McGillivray, M.P., who went
to Ottawa to ste Sir Charles Tupper
after the disclosures made in the re-
count in North Ontario, returned to
Toronto yesterday. To a reporter last
night he said that he now intended to
giv-e up politics, as there was nothing
in it for him and retain the secretary -
fillip of the Foiesters. .had Sir Charles
Tupper's Government been austaziked
he would have hang on to the seat, but
now he would give it up.
Regarding the stuffing of the boxes,
the Major said that his worst enemy
could not have done himseif or the
party a worse turn.
"lay opinion is," he observed, that
some internal seoundrel, and no friend
of mine tampered with the ballots."
Other ballots, he said, besnies the
21 disallowed as spurious, were tam-
pered with. He instanced cases 'where
ballots at the first count marked for
one candidate were destroyed by ha.v-
ing a cross placed opposite the name
of the other also.
The Major completely exonerates Re-
turning ()Meer Taylor in the case. Af-
ter the election, 1Vir. Taylor took the
ballot boxes to his own house and
locked them up in his "spare" bed-
room. During the three weeks that
elapsed before the re count the return-
ing officer, who is an insurance man
and cattle dealer, was often away from
home, and at such times his wde and
daughter were the only custodians at

not watch the bedroom all the time.
Mr. McCalilivray, thereat:ire, thinks
that someone got at the boxes while
the room was not guarded, and he is
strongly of the oeinion that the Gov-
ernment should p, ovide in each con-
stituency a safe place for the custody
of the ballot bones.
The member said that in any event
he would not have oocupied his seat
longer than one session, and that as
things TIOW stood he would either send
In his resignation to the Speaker or
disclaim the seat in court.
alle Major further states that in the
recent fight he had the support of even
the ultra Protestants, and that now
the Patrons were dead he could, if he
ran again, win the riding by a ma-
jority of 300 votes.
If the Major allows Judgment to go
by default a new elecbion can be held
very early in the session. If, however,
a petition is entered he cannot resign
his seat until the petition is tried. It
• was said last night that no petition
would be entered if his resignation

TUB BARTH QUA.K.E.D.
Whitby People Were Awukeneed 137 a
Thundering Noise About 1 oTioelle
Yesterday Morning.
Whitby, Ont., July 13. -The sever-
est shock of earthquake known to
have visited this part of the country
in years cccurred between 5 and 10
minutes to 1 this morning. Hundreds
of townspeople report having been
awakened, while not a few who were
awake give aecounts of the phenome-
na war. agree 'wall observations et
tne Aseociated Press correspondent,
who was wide awake at the time.
The sound was mopt like that of dis-
tant but very hea.vy thundeaand lasted
probably 20 bt-concls. After about one-
third of the eliook had passed, up to
unich time the roll of sound had been
extremely even. there eame a tremen-
dous thump. From then on until lost
to sensation. the even rolling thunder-
ous sound which had characterized its
commencement was resumed, and
gradually declining died away on the
hearing.
ownspeople and. those living in the
country immediately to the north are
pretty well agreed that the shock pass-
ed further to the north across the
country, but in which direction it tra-
e cried could not certainly be determin-
ed, although the preponderance at
opinion is that it was towards the
northeast or west and came from the
east or northeast.
Houses osere shaken, windows rat-
tled, dishes m.oved, and in some in-
stances it is stated that furniture
tottered. The sky was slightly cloud-
ed at the time, but the stars shone
brightly where not obscured by the
clouds. The air was very still, and the
atmosphere might be said to have
been hot and close; no thunderstorm
preceded the earth tremor, nor fol-
lowed until between 8 and 9 o'clock
this morning, so that there was no
mistaking the nature of, the unusual
disturbance.
