Hors, EnwARD BLAxa did himself no
credit as a Canadian by bia vote in the
Imperial Parliament on the South Airi-
ng)) question. The ;,loyalty of Irish
soldiery is the beat answer to the mal-
content representatives of the Emerald
isle who often do more to sow dlesention
than Beal breeahee by their unguarded ex-
pressions of Clear out disloyalty. We ex-
peoted better things from a man of Mr.
Blake's oalibre and suppose 1f be did lose
his seat in Longford be would have es
tabliebed a preoedent that mignt have
borne good fruit. Their oarping will
amount to nothing in securing the ad.
vantages they seek.
IT is said fine samples of wbeet, barley
and oats, grown near Dawson Oity in
the Klondike, are on exhibition in Lon-
don, Euglaod. This will rather surprise
some of the Englishmen who had their
minds made up that snow balls and ioieles
were about the only product that did
first-olaeseven in the Provinoee of Ontario
and Quebec. Lettuce, radishes, cabbage
and other vegetables are also said to
grow in that so oalled sub-Aratin wilder -
nese, and who knows what may be evol-
ved from the experiments with fruits and
even flowers. Eltreka—I have found it—
may be often reiterated in the time to
aome in that far Northland, but we are
satisfied to let some other fellow "Eureka"
while we sojurn a trifle nearer the equa-
tor.
WITH increased trade and a general
briekiog up the towns along Lake Huron
are rousing themselves to secure a union
of interests by placing a line of passenger
and freight steamers on the lake route.
If enooetefal the railroads will have to
get a move on them as well, as the public
is gettiog siok of the cinch they have on
almost everything, using the shippers and
travellers often me if they had no rights
in the matter at all. The members of
Parliament who will kink up such a duet
over this matter that a general shaking
np of privileges and rules and regulations
would be brought into effect would most
heartily deserve the thanks of a long
suffering publio. As long as M,P.'s travel
on free passes we don't expect a great
many of them to kick the dashboard off.
TILE ONTARIO LEGISLATURE.
The Ontario Legielatnre opened at
Toronto an %Yedneeday afternoon of fast
week, Sir Oliver Mowarb, who was
aaoompauied by the usual escort and
guard of honor, read the epeeoh from the
throne, which was as follows
Xt.,'Speaker and Gentlemen of the Legis-
lative Assembly ;
I take gr'sat pleasure in again meeting
you se repreaentabivee of the provinoe In
parliament assembled, f}fnoe the last
meeting of the Legislature Great Britian
has been under the necessity of resisting
by force of arms the enoroaohment of the
South African republics upon her tern
tortal righbeaud the liberties of British
subjects in the Transvaal, The issues
involved, managing as they did the iu-
tegrity of the empire, appealed very
strongly to the loyalty of the Canadian
people. As the representative of the
province I congratulate yon on the en
thusiaem manifested throughout the
whole province in the enrollment of her
sons for imperial service at the seat of
war.
LOYALTY OY CANADIAN&,
No more striking proof could have
been given of the loyalty and devotion of
Canadians to their sovereign and to the
empire to which we belong, and f am
confident that any proposal of my
Government for contributing toward the
enpport of the wives and families of
soldiers now serving at the front will
receive favorable and generous consider-
ation"
THE L00i On LNDUeTRY.
Iam pleased to be able to inform you
that the lumboricg industry of the
province is is a flourishing oondition, the
legislation of 1898 requiring all pine logs
out under license to be manufactured in
Canada took effect first in the season of
1898-99. The practical operation of this
legislation has proven beneficial and
timely. While the quantity of pine
lumber out last season shows little, if any,
diminution as compared with previous
years, the saw milling business of the
province, on the other hand, has received
e powerful stimulus. Many existing
mills have been enlarged, idle ones have
resumed work, and a number of new
mills have been built and equipped to
meet the demand for sawn lumber,
and as a result substantial benefits have
been reaped from the action of the legis-
lature.
ONE of the most sensible things we
have known the House of Commons to do
for a long time was the passing of the
Address without the long continued wind•
mill exhibitions usually on the program,
If those long gabbers knew how few peo-
ple in the country read their speeches
they might take the hint and quit, there•
by saving the time and expense of Perlia.
meat. It's for the traosaotioo of bueineea
that the Commons and Legislature meet
not for brag, bloater or fireworks. If the
Hansard reports were not published many
e tiresome address, delivered to empty
benches, would have been stillborn, and
even] then would hardly be worth the
funeral expenses. Get down to business,
gentlemen, and let the country see that
you know the purpose for which you
were elected. $6,000 a day is too high a
price even for "air motors."
THE old time Statute labor days are
rapidly drawing to a close—none too
soon—and it will not be long before a
newer and better system will be inaugur.
abed, With the better drainage, clear-
ing out of oordnroy, introduction of grad
ing and stone orushing machinery, plus
the new interest awakened in modern
methods, the next 10 years ehould see a
great advance in the highways. A nam.
bar of munizipalitiea have done away
with statute labor and let all their road
improvements by contract with an official
overseer and their experience appears to
be eminently satisfactory. The present
eeesioo of the Proviuoial Parliament will
likely plane legislation on the Statute
book along this line that will tend to the
oarryiug oat, of a better order of road
making ae a great deal of the work done
is practically thrown away on account of
oareleaeneee, want of uniformity, or pro•
oeeding from wrong methods. Not a few

MA.NO'ACTOBE OP PULP WOOD.
In pursuance of the policy of encourag-
ing the developement of industries for
which the circumstances of the province
are speoially adapted, order in council
has been passed that pulp wood be menu -
featured in Canada, a measure confirm•
ing this order in council will be laid
before you.
SAVING THE Fonnar&.
The desirability of preserving the
forests in districts not adapted for agri
culture, so as to constitute a permanent
source of timber supply, has been fully
recognized in connection with the admin-
istration of the Drown domain. Accord•
iogly districts capable of being reforested
are being set apart ae forest reserves.
0100000.
The healthy condition of the mining
industry is shown by the growth of
revenue from galea and rants of mining
loads, the increase of investments in
mining enterprises, and a large output
from mines and mining works. It is the
objeot and policy of my Government to
utilize all the natural resources of our
country so as to afford the largest scope
for the profitable employment of capital
and labor, and thus furnish the markets
of the world with finished articles instead
of raw materiels.

I am pleased to be able to state that
the agricultural condition of the province
ie muoh morefavorable than it has been
for many years. The great improvement
in the quality of all dairy products has
increased the popularity of our butter
and cheese in the British market, and
has ooneequently stimulated this branch
of industry. Our fruit interests are also
inoreasing in importance and value, ae
the exports of our orchards for the last
year make manifest. The attendance
at the agricultural college has reached
the highest limit yet attained since the
establishment of the college, and it will
be necessary to provide for additional ao.
oommodation if the;attendenoe continues
to increase ae it has during the last few
years.
CARE OF THE INSANE.
It is to be noted with regret that the
increasing numbers of insane tax the
accommodation of our asylums beyond
their capacity. Notwithstanding the
liberal provision already made, and the
large expenditure incurred in carrying on
these services, it becomes imperative that
increased accommodation be provided for
many urgent oases now requiring atten•
tion.
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS,
Measures will be submitted for the
improvement of the public highways, the
drainage of swamp lands, the encourage.
ment of cold storage stations in rural
districts, and the colonization .of those
portions of Northern Ontario adapted for
agricultural purposes. Your attention
will be invited to bills reepeetinp the
revenue,election education and mini?
g,
and alstoameasure
for a comprehensive
exploration of the district lying between
the main line of the 0. P. R, and Hud -
eon's Bay, in order that more accurate
information may be obtained as to its
mining resources and adaptability for
farming.
AEMINISTntTION Or JUSTICE•,.
Your attention will be palled to the
present relative jurisdiction of the courts
of the province and of their respective
judges, and to the suggestions of exper-
innce for further promoting the effective,
prompt and inexpensive administration
of justice throughout the province.
