Now, don't get excited, gentlemen ; you can' t all fill the honorable posie tion -only one. 4r- * * * -Saturday text will be Slily let, or what is known as Dominion day. It will be forty-four years on Satorday since Confederation was brought to pass. Since then, the Dominion has made great progress, and her develop- inent has only just begun. May Ca - trade's prosperity abound. * * * -The Itiog's crown ie perhaps the most valuable eingln article in the world. First there is the great Afri- can diamond of enormous value. Be- sides this, there are 2,785 other dia- monds, 227 pearls, 5 ruttiest 17 sap- phiree, 10 emeralds. Its value is plac- ed at seven and one half million dollars. * * * -Referring to the reent trip north- ward of Toronto Board of Trade, the Toronto Telegraxn has this to say :- The ride on the Grand Trunk Pacific east and west of Cochrane indicated the q 'talky of the wooded lands of Tbe Great Clay Belt, five hmulred miles from east to -west by four hen- dred miles from not•th to south, and all of:it land Noel in fertility to the soil of the beet coontiee in old Ontario. -Those that are close observers cannot fail to notice the signs of an early Dominion election. Voteis' lists on the rolls of IMO are being printed at Otta,wrs and preparations made for taking the vote. Jtist now, It looks as if the Government had amide up its mind to be ready for an appeal to the election on short notice. From a Government official comes the word that the voter's lists can be ready by Septentber 25th, Omuta it be decided to have an election before winter sets in. * * * -Even those opposed to Mr. R. L. Borden, the able leader of the Oppose - tion in the Dominion paeliament, mast admire bis frankness in dealing with public questions while on his weetern tour. There is no side-step- ping, or mincing of matters in order to gain votes no policy for the east and another for the West, but a clear, outspoken conviction of the needs of the country, voiced in unmistakable sentences. People admire an honest, outspoken men, and such is Robert Laird Borden. * * * -On June 17th, 1812, ninety-nine years ago, the United States deelered war against Great Britain. The war was terminated by the ratification of the Treaty of Ghent on Feb. 17, 1815, although the treaty of peace actually had been signed in the previous De- cember, before the most important battle of the war had been fouglat at New Orleans on Jan. 8. Since then there have been no hostilities between the countries, and it is proposed to celebrate fittingly the .one /smashed years of peace. May war's dark shadow never again loom up between these great English-speaking nations. LIBERAL CONVENTION.

By- the 2nd expect very marked rise in temperature, falling barometer and vicious electrical storms in western states. During the eid and 4th these storms will pass eastwardly over the country, preceded by excessive warmth. We believe that a very serious lack of general rains will be upon very wide sections of the great agricultural regions to the northwest, west and south, from the middet of July until late in September. Those who figure and plan to mature crops at the earliest possible part of the summer, will, we predict and advise, come out winners. A possible reaction to fair and cooler may come on and touching the 10th and llth. Falling barotneter, ificrease of temperature, with cloudiness and moderate rains, will be doe Wednesday the lath to Friday the 14th, all followed by change to fair and cooler weather, up to the lath. Do not forget that all storms and weather changes progress horn west to east; they do not strike the whole country at the same time or day. A regular storm period be- gins on the 16th, said extends to the 23rd. probable storm oriels will fall on the 19th, 20th and 21st, ceasing rain, wind and thunder, leaving high temperature and threatening con- ditions to continue over the 23rd. A storm period is central on the 30th, at the crisis of the Mercury period, with the Moon on the celestial equal tor. A low barometer, with fitful south winds and high humidity, from the 29th to August the 2nd, should be admonitions of violent norms. Cen- tering on and next to the 30th, greet, black, blustering storm clouds, with dangeroos gusts of winds and thunder will be natural. Heavy local down - pones of rain will strike many limited localities. WA.NTEID.-General servant.
