UNANSWERABLE. One of the strong points in the re- cord of the Laurier Government is its •.so called preferential tariff in favor of British goods. The Government was pretty nearly depriVed of this strength by the un- answered speech of N. Clarke Wallace. Silence was the Government's only • answer to Mr. Wallace's contention that the whole Fielding tariff was -a juggle, which eould not but work out to the disadvantage of British pro- ducts and to the advantage of United States products. • Facts and figures supported. Mr. Wallace at every point where he in- sisted that the. Fielding tariff bad raised the old N. P. duty on British products, so that the preferential re- duction of twenty-five per cent. brought the rates down very little or not at all below the level of the old N. P. tariff on British goods. And Mr. Wallace showed that every change in the'Fieldina tariff affecting United States protracts gape a real advantage to our neighbours across the line. Altogether, Mr. Wallace's was the most, damaging attack which has yet been made on the supposedly strong point in the Laurier tariff pol- icy, and the county can only infer that Mr. Wallace's exposure of the prefer-- ence as a hollow sham Was unanswered because it was unanswera,ble.—Toron- to Telegram. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Canada now stands fifth among the gold -producing countries of the world. The product of 1898 isplaced at $13,700,- 000, of which $10,000,000 is credited to the 'Yukon. This estimate is rather under than over the annual amount. The statistics of gold production in Canada during the last thirteen years are as follows: 1886, $1,365,496 ; 1887, $1,187,804; 1888,81,098,610; 1889, $1,295.- 159 •, 1890, $1,149,776; 1891, $930,614 ; 1892, 3007,610; 1893, 976,603; 1894, $1, 128,688; 1895, $2,083,674 • 1896. $2,754,- '774; 1897, $6027,O16; 1868, $13,700,000. The Yukon makes its first appearance ha the returns of 1897. A statement prepared by the Trea- sury Bureau of Statistics at Washing- ton shows that the United States sold to Great Britain in the fiscal year 1897-8 paper a,ud pulp to the value of $2,656,798. This trade has been ren- dered possible by Ca,nada's free sup- • ply of pulpwood,enabling our neigh - hors to produce paper at a cost low enough to successfully compete with the British paper manufacturers them- selves. All that is necessary to effect the conversion of our unprofitable ex- portation of pulpwood to the United States into a profitable exportation of paper to the United Kingdom is a tax of $3 or $4 per cord on all raw pulp- • wood leaving the country. Referring to the report of the offi- cers having charge of the registration of births in Ontario for the year 1898, Minerve, Montreal, says that, not- withstanding all the precautions tak- en in view of last year's discussion in the Provincial Anglican Synod, to miss no declarations of births, that re- • port shows pretty much the same re- sults as those of the previous year. In • order to raise as much as possible the birth rate, ten per cent. is allowed for the births that may not have been n3ade known, and even with such un- heard-of generosity, the birth rate of • France is not excelled, although France has the lowest birth rate of all the European countries. Ontario thus has the lowest death rate of any Prov- ince. The executive of the Oxford Prohi- oition Association desires to record its great dissatisfaction and disapp.oint- ment at the decision 6f the Dotinnion Government to take no action in re- gard to prohibition, thus ignoring the • will of the majority, as clearly express- ed in the recent plebiscite vote. The • executive says: "While it is quite cor- rect that in Parliament the Premier refused to commit himself to a ina,- • jority vote, it is not true that he did nob pledge himself before the people to • introduce prohibition legislation if the plebiscite showed a majority for it. Here are his words to the General Conference of 'the Methodist Chorch : the..plehiscite meets with tbe sup- port of a majority of the people, those who find themselves in the minority will have to concur in the verdict of the majority.' This executive hopes • that the subject will be brought up during the present session of Parlia- ment and no side-tra.cki ng allowed, so that e.very meenber of the Hotise will be put oh receed as for against this great moral Meastire ; thus at the next eleetion tern peranee electors Who put principle above party will know how to vote, -Also resolved, that, in view of the overwhelming niajorityeof over 2000 given in the County of Oxford tigain the liquor traffic, 'we call upon the 'License CoMthissioners aral In- spectors to restrict the traffic itt the county and to enforce the present liquor laws." Aptointing members of Legislatures people COUld abolish, not by a law vehich might be evaded, hut a usage which would• he binding. Every con- vention has the remedy in its own hands. When a candidate is nomina- ted, he should he required to give a written Promise that he will not ac- cept an appointMent to office within the term of hie legislative service or withia five years after the close of sech term. If both parties would work on this line, the men who wanted (Alice would look for rewards outside the Legislature. The men who wanted honour would. go to the Legislature to serve the publie. The office -hungry legislator is perhaps the greatest curse of Canadian politics. As soon as the people stop sending office hunters to Parliament,there will be a mm mi marked i proye ent n the character and. work of every. Canadiau legislator.

Great Britain Got Best of the Bargain in the African Deal, Now Comes the Newfoundland Shore Question to Be Settled, and Probably the Little BritIsh Colony of Gambia, West Africa, Would Fix Tliings-The Present Intention ot 1ot4 Countries is to Remove All COUSO$ of Friction. Paris, March M.—Evidently it is the "-?resent intention of England and France io remove all causes of conflict between she toms ;nations, but it is considered here that in the recent African negotiations. Mugland got the better bargain. Now the gewfoundland shore affair is under way, and France, feeling that she has a stronger position, expects England to slake large concessions. Sir Charles Dilke's proposal that Prance renounce the treaty rights as to Newfoundland in exchange for certain shadowy English olainas-in Madagascar will never be seriously considered hero. Even supposine'. the French Cabinet is ready to adoptsaoh a proposition—of millets there is not the slightest likelihood —the country would absolutely refuse to approve. What France Expects. France expects in compensation for her Newfoundland rights 501310 English possession in West Africa, that outs into here& territory. The little British colony A Gambia, for instance, 'with its 41700 square miles of area, juts into the French 3olony of Senegal, monopolizing the nest; of the navigable length of the Gam- bia Haver.

STORMING THE TRENCHES Was the Hot Worlt NVhich. the United States "PrOPpe Mad to Do on Sunday. Manila, March 28.—The Amerioans have advanced along. the lino a the Darman Railroad, driving the Filipinos from Maliute and Cycayan, where 'blame were 8,000 inhabitants. Last night the brigades of Genorel Otis and General Halo encamped in the enemy's trenches at Ilifayeanyan and that of General Whea- ton at Malinto, General Wheaton's brigade formed junction with the remainder of General McArthur's division at Malinta, and the latter, leaving General Wheaton there, marched along the railroad to Mayeatrvan. This place was fortified and for 300 yards frorn it there were trenches on each side , of the track. These were taken possession Iof by tha.A.merican troops... The move- ments of the Americans will be pushed in this direction. • Storming the Trenches. • Sunday's worb of the United States troops consisted of storming the succes- sive trenches. The Filipinos occupying them were completely hidden. The enemy potwecl a strong fire from every trench ; until they were disturbed by a flanking volley;; when they would disappear into . the woods and jungle, only. to make a stand at the next line. ;The American loss was remarkably small, seven being reported killed and 05 • wounded. It is known that the 'Filipinos were so protected that they suffered little. • No dead insurgents -were friend in the trenches. Forty prisoners were taken by the Americans and it is estimated that the rebel casualties numbered 20. •, The insurgents broke their guns when compelled to abandon them. .The Helene and the army gunboats shelled Malabon and the oatuttry beyond, . ; wIsile; the Monadnock focused all its bat- teries upon Paranaquo for two hours, for ; the purpose of destroying the anilitary stem there. A great smoke was aansed, but as the insurgents are in possession of tho town the results of the shelling • are not obtainable. Picturesque llout. The evacuatioin of Malabon was a pie- tetesene rout, thousands of wonien, men and children, loaded down with house- Neld goods, Some with their dearest treasures— fighting cooks —under their arms, poured across the swamps in the early morning. An exploded caisson at the railroad bridge proved a bar to the Americans. Conditioo Of 011210S, Ten soldiers of the Orogen Regiment, while searching for two of those killed early in the fighting, sneaked into the, city in the morning and found the place in a conditon of chaos. • The inhabitants seeing them, fled in a panic, thinking the American .forees were in possssion. The Oregonians shot several armed natives and then Mt:timed to camp. The American forces did not occupy Malabon, but are concentrating their strength to strike Malolos. Malobon is a city of desolation. The American soldiers haVe been forbidden to enter the place for fear the natives may be lurking there. IIVARTHUR'S DIVISION Spent Some Time at Maps:myna and Pushed on Toward Dlitiolos. Ma,nila,March 28.—General MaArthur's division spent yesterday lumping at May- cauyan, the next station'heyond Polo. After reconnoitering his front, he pushed along the railroad in the afternoon to- wards Malolos.
