Thusthe inere fact of their escape from a bad bargain ought to sufficiently compensate the two rash. youths for their expenditures upon the enterprise. + x The deyelopment of Canada will pro- ceed from henceforth with unprece- dented rapidity. All evidence coming to hand proves this. Within the last two years, and very much more so since the Queen's jubilee, this great Dominion has occupied the attention of the world as it has never done be- fore, and its undeveloped resources are now attracting settlers and capital from all parts of the civilized world. x , + The Ontario Government is consid- ering the advisability of instituting a Provincial immigration policy, for these reasons :—People are constantly leaving Ontario to settle in theNorth- west Ontario secures no favors from the Department of Immigration at Ottawa ; the interest in Ontario abroad is rapidly increasing ; the new lands are just becoming well explored. When the Rainy River Railway is completed a vast territory of agricul- tural land will be opened up, and this in itself will make an immigration policy necessary; the lands unfit for agriculture will be devoted to forest reserves, and the immigration policy will include the removal of people now fighting for existence in these dis- tricts. x = x Canada is not called upon to promote a good understanding between Great Britain and the United States by a sacrifice of her own people's rights. The fly on the rail would be as likely to throw an express train off the track as an amendment to Canada's farcical alien bill would be likely to preyentany reunion of the Anglo-Saxon family. Canada's ability to get along withoat favours from the United States will tend to eliminate Canadian issues from discussions at Washington, and thus promote good willbetween the Repub- lic and the empire. Canada's duty is simply to mind herr own business and to protect the interests of her own people. The Dominion Parliament did not create the great causes which are working for Anglo-Saxon unity ; and these causes are not to be removed, nor lithe hope of Anglo-Saxon unity to be des troyed by words spoken or acts passed at Ottawa for the advance of the Canadian people. — Toronto Telegram. + x x "Stupendous folly" is still the best name • which some papers give the Senate's patriotic slaughter of the Yu- kon railway bill, It might be as well for these papers to allow events to de- terniine the exact character of the Sen- ate's.Act. If the developments of the coming summer should indicate that the Yukon is no Eldorado, the Senate will be vindicated by proof that the lwas not'needed. railway But if the approaching season's work shouldprove el the Yukon is extremely n y ri ch in gold,'the whole country will applaud the Senate for preserving to the corm - try four million acres of gold claims, 'which will yield an annual revenue sufficient to build all the railways the Yukon, will ever need. Then there is just the other interesting possibility that Mckenzie & Mann may build the Yukon Railway in order to profit by the traffic of the region, and for the Sake of the British Columbia subsidy of $4,000 per mile. ` The Senate is sure to be vindicated by the developments of the coming summer, and the true friends of the Laurier Government ought to try to separate the Liberal party from the folly of the "Youthful Minister,"who onghttobelefttostagger alone under the odium of the bargain he forced a the arty, which on p p y, and which the party tried in vain to, force upon the country. A neat Iittle badge or decoration is very generally worn now by Canada's next-door neighbors. It is a combitla- tion of the 'Cajon rack with the Stars an i Stripes, attached with a fancy pin s orlapel of boson. of the Ares to ,.la P coat. ' This bade' is much iti evi- detice on the trains that pass through London. The dicussion on benevolent societies which took place the other day in the Doi.li1ionParliament and the promise of future legislationupon the subject,. will interest all menbers of such socie- ties and cause anxiety to those who are managing them. Benefit and in- surance societies are an absol me necessity for the working men of this country. They have no other way of providing for their families i.0 the time of sickness or in the event of death. Without co-operation and combination on the part of wage-earners it would be impossible for the thrifty and in - (lustrous among them to provide for the hour of trial. Because they mean so much to so many, it becomes all the greater necessity to prevent bogus societies doing business. Working men, as a rale, have not the time, even if they possess the requisite training to find out which society is sound and which is not. However honestly a society is managed, if the basis upon which it is founded is unsound, it is bound sooner or later to fail, thus thousands of our most thrifty and hard-working men lose the sayings of years. But even if all the benefit socities at present doing business were perfectly sqund, the large number which exist causes great waste of energy and money and in the end prove a great burden upon the working people. Each rival organization is ever urging upon all its members, both in the lodge room and through its press, the necessity of large accessions to its ranks and the duty devolving upon each member of doing what he can for his own safety to bring in new members. The larger the number of good risks which a society has, the better and safer it is. Would it not be far better for the members, if all existing societies could be merged into one ? The dif- ferences between most of these societies isvery trivial, being a matter of detail rather than of principle. Amalgamation would certainly most materially lessen the cost of manage- ment. The head office expenses of a. i-ociety having 500,000 membership,. should be less per capita than those of a society having only a membership of 50,000. The local expenses of a lodge consisting of 500 would be very little more than a lodge of 50. It would certainly be cheaper as well as safer, to have existingsocieties amalgamated. Certainly their multiplication has become a very serious matter for the working people. There would be, no doubt, very strong opposition to any ` movement towards amalgamation or unity. Much of this opposition would arise from a sentimental attachment to a particular society. But the chief opposition would come from two classes ; those who are the permanent officials of the society and those who have the pre- eminence. Those who derive their living either in whole or part, would oppose amalgamation. Naturally so, self preservation is the first law of nature. If there was amalgamation these men might, like Othello, find their occupation gone. But these societies do not exist for the benefit of the officials. There are men in every community who love to hold office and to be clothed with authority. Set them upon a pedestal, however low it may be, and they are supremelyhappy. To hold a little office and to exercise , a little authority flatters their vanity. If there were fewer lodges, men of mediocrity would find it harder to obtain office, because there would be more men of marked ability from which to choose. Still we must con- sider the good of the greater number. These societies do not exist for the benefit of the officeholders, but to pro- vide a good and safe insurance for 'members. The majority of men care little for the ritual of the order or the routine of lodge work. To most thoughtful men it is irksome, irritat- ing, and sometimes even . childish. These men pay their dues and bear the tedium of Lodge procedure as patiently as they may for the good of those at home whom they love. At present a man pays insurance for many years and if for any cause is out of work and unable to pay his dues, he loses everything that he has paid in, the savings of years are swept away in a moment and his savings go to them who are still able to pay. The local lodge may "carry him" for a time, but this is rove as a matter of charity and not of right. We do not blame the societiesfor this,for itis hard to see how this could be avoided. Nevertheless it is truly agonizing for a thoroughly self-respecting man to receive such "charity" even from the "brethren." Brothers can talk, and all brothers have not the love of the "brethren." brethren. Many a man would sooner lose the savings of years than thus lose his self-respect. This s ma y be false pride but it is human nature. A strong society would be able to give a man a paid up policy for the money he had paid, after deducting a certain percentage for management and the cost of carrying the risk. If there is to be legislation let it be radical. Let a firm, safe basis be arrived at, and amalgamate all the societies in one, and let this be under the Government. We do not think the cost of manage- ment should come from taxation, but it should be self-supporting. There are no doubt most serious diffi- culties i the u u way of such a consum- mation. .But if the difficulties are great, so are the benefits to be derived. Such a society would be a tower of strength and all would putfulleonfi- dence in it, If the brains of both par- ties can be concentrated upon this subject, and the rival leaders refuse to make it a party question, we are sure it could be accomplished, and would prove an enormousg ain,to the work- inclasses of Canada by giving them a safer and fairer insurance. Britain does not owe anything to the United States, and Britain does not owe anything to the allied powers of Europe. Britain does owe some- thing to humanity, and she can best pay that debt by holding aloof from any European combination . hostile to the United States. :, Gladstone Died at five o'clock Thurs- day morning last, aged 89 years. Mr. Gladstone was born at Liverpool,. Dec. 29, 1800, The son of a. Liverpool merchant—Sir John Gladstone, M. P., sometime of Leith. He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, and at both. places early developed High Church tendencies andthose Tory principles which he apparently inher- ited from his father, Ile was tnar- ried in 1889 to Miss Catharine Glyne.

It is believed that an Anglo -Japanese understanding has been reached, which not only com- prehends all eventualities which can occur in the East,but also contemplates all the consequences that might result in the course of the Hispano -American war. The understanding establishes a sort of Asiatic balance of power. May 24 at Tampa. An English warship arrived in Tampa harbor on May 24, the anniyer- sary of Queen Victoria's birthday, and the event was celebrated by a banquet that was notable for the number of military andnaval celebrities that}were present. Every officer in the United States service above the rank of cap- tain at present in Tampa, officers of the naval vessels there and military attaches of the different European governments who are there to follow the fortunes of the army of invasion in Cuba were among those inyited to do honor to Queen Victoria. Fnur United States regimental bands furn- ished the music. TAE CANADIAN FARMER'S DAY. This is the day of the farmer in Canada. If he survived during the years of ] w prices that prevailed up 'till recently, he 'must" certainly be makixig money now. The prices which he obtained for his products last year at this time and those he obtains now are an instructive study. We give the quotations for the principal products on the local market this week and a year ago by way of contrast : 1897 1898 Wheat,whito fall, bu.30.63 to S0.66 31.05 to 31.08 Wheat, red, fall bu. 63 to 66 51.05 to 81.05 Wheat, spring, per bu 63 to 66 51.05 to 31.05 Oats, per bu 20 to 2C61331.3605 1; 35 to 36 Peas, per bu 36 to 42 55 to 66 Corn, per bu 23 to 30 44 to 47 Rye, per bu 24 to 30 39 to 39 Beaus, per bu 25 to 45 40 to 60 Barley, per bu 50 to 55 38 to 42 Eggs per doz 9 to 10 10 to Il Butter per lb 12 to 13 15 to 16 Potatoes, per bag 35 to 50 90 to 1.10 Chickens, per pair 60 to 75 50 to 75 Ducks, per pair 70 to 30 60 to 70 Turkeys, per lb 10 to 12 10 to 12 Beef;quarters,per lb 33 to 5 4 to 6 Mutton,quarters, M 9 to 7 5i to 63 Veal, quarters, lb 4 to 6 5 to 6 Lamb,quarters, ib 8 to 11 9 to 10 Dressed hogs, 100 lbs 6.50 to 6.75 5.00 to 6.25 Hides, No. 1, per lb 61 to 63 7 to 7 Wool, per lb 173 to 1839 to 11 Hay, per ton 6.50 to 7.00 4.50 to 5.00 Straw, per load 2.00 to 2.50 2.50 to 3.00 Young pi s,per pair 5.00 to 6.00 6.00 to 7.00 Cows, each 20.00 to 33.00 30 00 to 45.00 No one laments that the farmer is getting something like remunerative prices for the products of the labor. He deserves all that he obtains, and our sincere wish is that the eraof good prices may long continue. With the tiller of the soil prosperous, there invariably comes better Gimes to every- one, for the farmer feeds us all. Mr. Block, the unfortunate farmer from near Trowbridge who was taken to the London asylum !about a fort- night ago, died at that institution last week and his remains were sent home. The expenses of a first-class battle ship, while her crew are loafing,is over $1,500a day. When in action, even if she comes out unscathed, the expense is enormous. Every shot fired costs a large sum. R. G. Lambert, one of the most widely known residents of Harriston, died suddenly Friday morning. He bad gone to his place of business as usual, and had just seated himself to read the paper when he sank back in his chair. By the time his sons, who were attracted by a slight noise, reach- ed him, he was dead. Miss Lumley,aged 18 or 20 years,and claiming Newbury as her home, was arraigned ned before Magistrate Howat at Thamesville the other day on the chargea of stealing several odd coins,ins , postage stamps and silver money from Mrs. John Coutts, in whose employ she had been for the past conple of weeks. She was committed for trial, and taken to Chatham. The 000 Galicians, lately dumped dowu in the North-west, are not re- garded with favor by the natives. The Weterkiwin, Alberta, Free Lance calls them "riff-raff" and -a "motley crew of nondescripts," "clad in sheep skins, broken in spirit, wolfish in aspect, huddled together in a lapsed mass, amid a stench that would," etc., etc. The Laurier Government is advised by the north-western settlers to have more regard to quality than quantity, if they cannot get better immigrants than these. Mail and Empire ; It is not likely that any election trials will take place until next autumn at the earliest. The judges of the High Court receive no remuneration for election trials' in con- nection n nection with theprovincial elections although in the Federal cases they receive an extra fee of $100 'per trial Under the circumstances the Judiciary can hardly be expected to devote the stimmer vacation to the tedious busi- ness of election trials. The necessity for haste exists only in South Ontario and West Hamilton for unless mat- ters a -ters are finally settled in these places before the House meets, the Gvern- ment will itsfelf in the extraordin ary position of an Administration with two Ministers who cannot sit in the Legislature. A T] EB PEST. Toronto May19.—A bulletin has been } iesued by the department of a dud - tore dealing with thespruce gall louse, Tho bulletin says that the insect cane from Europe ; that it has spread quite considerably throughout Ontario, jaw- ing been found in Peterboro, Bruce and Muskoka, as well as about the leading cities,and that it attacks European spruce, black spruce, white spruee,balsam,fir and Hemlock. With- out any doubt the cheapest and best plan as yet tried in Ontario is to clip off the galls as soon as they are notic- ed, say in June, and always before Aug. 1, whale the producers are in the galas, and immediately burn then up. When a tree is too much infested to be dealt within this way, it should be cut down and burnt at once. It is recom- mended that all those having spruce trees in charge should carefully see to the cleaning of their trees and the extermination of thisformidableinsect pest. As some of our nurseries are affected, buyers of evergreen nursery stock should be yery careful to see that the young trees are perfectly free from this insect pest, The old Spectator building, at Ham - ' in which were located the G. N. W. Telegraph Co.'s office, and the Canadian Express Co.'s office, was completely destroyed by fire . Wednes- day. Anglo-American Unity must be a mighty tender plant if it can be frost- ed to death whenecer William Mc- Cleary. M. P., tells a few cold truths as to United States behaviour towards Canada. "Yukon," the horse that ran away and. caused the death of D'Alton Mc- Carthy, will probably be shot. This is his second runaway, and his ner- vous side is so highly developed that it will not be safe to put him in the shafts again. R. T. Walker, et a1.,Kincardine,have entered suit against the Mayor and 7 councillors for the sum of sixty dollars, being for money alleged to have been illegally, paid to Mr. Coleman, pork packer, of that town,and which money belonged to the alaintiffs and other ratepayers. The action is creating considerable interest. Little Henry Marsicano, the 14 - months' -old child of an Italian living in Montreal was called suddenly from life at noon Saturday. His death was the result of concussion of the brain. The father was dancing the child inhis arms. The catchmissed, and the child fell to the floor, its head striking heavily. It was unconscious when picked up. Dr. Echlin was sent for. The little one was dead when he ar- rived. Coroner Freeland was then telephoned. He pronounced death the result of an accident. The father ap- peared to feel the child's death keenly. g 1 Domestic Felicity Maintained in Families where Diamond Dyes are Used. The happiest, best regulated and most economical families in the Do- minion are regular users of the world- famous orldfamous Diamond Dyes. Domestic felicity is ever maintained, because the Diamond Dyes are true and unfailing in work, and money is saved by their use. No other Dyes can boast of such strong words of praise from users. Mrs. T. Lavin, Newark, Ont., says : "Have used many other makes of dyes but find the Diamond Dyes ahead of all, as they give the best and fastest colors." Mrs. Si1as.Daury, Mahone Bay,N.S., says : "Your Diamond Dyes give me entire satisfaction. I have used other makes, but have settled on the good, old and reliable Diamond Dyes." Mrs.Joseph Weir, Sutton Junction, P. Q., says : "Hoye used Diamond Dyes for the last ten years, and they have given me great satisfaction ; I can recommend them to all as the best." :!Fes. G. A. Tory, Red Deer, N.W.T., says:"I have given yourDitunond Dyes a fair trial and find them excellent failure is impossible if the directions are followed." Miss Gussie Crawford, Kingston, N. B., says "Have just dyed an old skirt a beautiful Seal Brown with your.Dia- mond Dyes, and am much pleased with result. I make my Black ink from your Slate Diamond Dye, and it is the,; only kind of ink I have used for years, and I do a great deal of writing." Mrs. John Leslie,Port Colborne, Ont., says: "l have used Diamond Dyes in all the colors, and I can safely say they do all you claim for them." HEART ,;WEAK1vE8S. Must Be Treated Iu Time Or Ends In Certain Death. Some of the Symptoms are Palpitation After Slight Exertion, Sometimes Severe Pains, Dizziness end Fainting Spells --It Can Bo Cured, From the Echo, Platteville, Ont. The l oholies read and has published' many statements from people who have been cured of various ailments by the timely and judicious use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, but never before have we had such personally convincing proof of their efficacy as in the case of Mrs. George Taylor, who with her husbaud and family reside in this village, To an Echo reporter Mrs. Taylor gave the following history of her illness and cure, and asked that it be given the widest publicity, so that others might be benefitted:—"I am thirty-two years of age" said Mrs. Taylor, "and in 1885 my husband and myself were living on a farm in Perth county, and it was there I was first taken sick. The doc- tor who was called in said Iwas suffer- ing from heart trouble, due to ner- vous debility. All his remedies proved of no avail, and I steadily grew worse. The doctor advised a change, and we moved. to Moncton, Ont. Here I put myself under the charge of another physician, but with no better results. At the least exertion my heart would palpitate violently. I was frequently overcome with dizziness and fainting fits. While in these my limbs would become cold and often my husband thought I was dying. I tried several medicines advertised to cure troubles like mine, but with no better results, and I did not expect to recover, in fact I often thought it would be better if the end came, for my life was one of misery. We moved back to the farm, andithen one day I read the statement of a lady who had been cured of simi- lar trouble by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, so I said to my husband that I would try this medicine and it seemed tome that it was mylast chance. Before the first box was finished I felt an improvement in my appetite and felt that this was a hopeful sign. By the time I had used three boxes more my trouble seemed to be entirely gone and I have not felt a ecu single recurrence g rents of the old symptoms. Since moving to Platteville I have used six boxes and they had the effect of toning up the system and curing slightindispositions. To -day I am a well woman and owe my life to Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis,and to me my restoration seems nothing short ' of a miracle. I was like one dead and brought back to life, and I cannot speak too highly of this medi- cine, or urge too strongly those who are afflicted to give it a trial." It has been proved time and again that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure heart troubles, nervous debility, rheu- matism, sciatica, St. Vitus' dance and stomach trouble. They make new blood and build up the nerves, restor- ing the glow of health to pale and sal- low faces. Be sure you get the genuine as there is no other medicine "the same as" or "just as good" as Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. If your dealer does not have them they will be sent post paid at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by, addressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, BIRTHS.
