A Aare= le current, from Conservative
quarters, that a Dominion election is
probable before harvest. As to the
aoogranoy 0f this . statement we are not
prepared to vouch but more• unlikely
things have happened.

The House will meet shortly when some
lively times are promised. Ex.Premier
Greenway hae his fighting clothes on and
is ready for the fray.
ST. PATiuox's Day was honored last
Saturday in a way never approached be-
fore and largely so as a genuine exhibi-
tion of approval and worthy commenda-
tion to the sone of Erin who have so
valiantly fought, many of them dying,
in the South Afrioan war for the defence
of British liberties. The brave Irish
soldier boyo deserved it all and more so
owing to the traitorous talk and voting
of the Emerald Isle M. P's in the British
Parliament. Lord Roberts, Gen.
Kitchener and Geo. White will no doubt
rejoice in this recognition of their fellow
countrymen and we think the celebration
will do much to put into better feeling
than malcontents and help them to see
that the Great British Empire ie a unit
when our righte and privilegee are men.
aged. Long live the loyal represeuta•
tivee of the green isle.
GooenNNH has the railway fever again.
This time it ie not the 0. P. R. but the
Credit Valley. Vice President Clark
visited the town and addressed a public
meeting showing the advantages of the
proposed road and asking their assistance
in securing a charter from Port Dover to
Huron's capital, with privilege of running
lake oar ferries on lakes Erie and Huron
in oonneotion with coal and other trade.
The meeting parried a resolution approv-
ing thehoheree

afterward and endorsed it, 'o tbe;ltoot I

believes what ie needed in this country
worse than more railroads is to secure
legislation compelling existing roads to
give better faoilitiee for travel and lower
rates for both passenger and freight
traffic,
IT may be a matter of some interest to
many of our readers to know tomething
of a Dominion product not often referred
to, viz, the Fieheriee, hence we submit
the following:—There was a deoreaee of
83,000,000 in the value of the Canadian
catch of fish in 1898 ae compared with
the previous year, a000rdiog to the re.
port of the fisheries department, present-
ed in the house by Sir Louis Davies.
The total value of the catch was $19,667,
126. Eighty thousand men were employ-
ed
mployed in the fisheries daring the season,
there boatel, nete,to &o. being
valued at
89,869,000. Besides these 1,150 eoh000•
ere, manned by 8,657 sailors were em
ployed. The lobster industry gave em
ployment to 16,548 persons, and has in.
veeted in canneries, eto., 81,334,130.
The Nova Scotia oatoh was in valve near-
ly double that of any other province, be-
ing returned at 87,226,600. Ontario
fisheries yielded $1,433,632. In protect-
ing and regulating the fisheries of Cana.
da the Dominion Government employe a
staff of 80 men including the crews of
the fishery protection fleet, During the
year 80 United States veeeele took onl
vinvendi lioeoees at the cost of $8,266.
And as 'bowing the value to
those fishermen of the privilege of resort
to Canadian harbors, no fewer than
1,228 entries' of United Statee vessels are
recorded during the season. Notwith.
standing the outcry raised in the United
States about the Iw:ening of the seal
herds of Behring Sea by pelagic sealing,
the small fleet of 26 Canadian vessels took
last year 34,454 sealskins—an average
catch only twice sarpeeeed in the history
of the industry. As to the practise of
branding seals resorted to by the Ameri-
can authoritiee in the hope of destroying
the pelagio sealing industry of the Cana.
diene, the effect cannot be very great, un-
less the branded seals die, as out of the
total catch .of 35,000 only 16 branded
seals were found.
A Creditable Career.
M. 0. Dickson, District Paeeengar
Agent of the Grand Trunk Railway, was
born at Juniper Green, Midlothiansbire,
Scotland, hie father being a prominent
Scotch railway contractor. Xu 1858 the
family came to Canada and settled in
Galt, where Mr. Diokeon'e school days
were spent. He entered the firm of
Smith & Irvine, grain shippers, of
Hamilton, as clerk, remaining with them
until 1865, when he was appointed
freight agent at St. Oatharioee for the
Great Western Railway. A year later
he received the appointment of station
agent at Bothwell, then one of the busiest
towne on the line. He became known as
the boy agent, and rose rapidly in the
Company's esteem. He was afterwards
removed to Paris, remaining there until
1875, when he reeigued to go to Grosse
Isle, Michigan, as general agent for the
Canada Southern Railway. He eubee.
quently held the poeitioos of general

EN ROUTE TO AFRICA,
Tha following letter was reoalved from
Leon P. Jaokeon, who is on hie way to
Africa, laat Friday ;, -
En route to Halifax,
Maroh 14, 1900.
Dean Maim, — Word bae just been
passed through the train that we will sail
to•morrow night ea thought I would drop
you a line from the oar in Ossa we had
no time at Halifax, I am chumming it
with three very deoent obape, 2 Captains
and a lieutenant, all of whom are going
se privates. We had an excellent send.
off at Toronto, Montreal and Quebec.
The oity of Toronto gave us eaoh $1,000
ineurnnoe, which X had made out in
mother's favor ; 825.00 in gold and a
sterling souvenir matoh case, veined at
$2.50, They have a bull dog seated on a
flag on one side, with the inscription •—
"Toronto—What we have we'll hold,"
and on the other aide ie a beaver and
maple leaf. I am sending mine back to
mother from Halifax. There were two
Banda and a great mase of people down
to the train at Quebec. Got all aorta of
flags from the ladies and I am sporting
a large one around my neck for a scarf.
A. girl also handed me a bottle of perfume
she had in her pooket Baying "flare
soldier think of me when fur away in
Africa." I was leaning out of the oar
window and oalled for three cheers for
the loyalty of Quebec whish were given.
The citizens then hauled me out of the
window and toeeed me up in the air three
times. We area rough looking lot and
very, very dirty but are nevertheless
very, very happy. It is pretty hard
work to write when the train is moving
so rapidly but I guess you will make it
out all right. Some good Samaritan, at
Toronto, handed us a half Daddy of T. &
B. tobacco and another at Montreal
about 200 packages of cigarettes. Jack,
my buck mete, just saved a young fel•
low's life a few minutes ago. He bad
the window of the oar up and wits just
going to crawl out being in a oightmate
and thought he was in a ruuatvay. We
had all hinds of flags passed to us along
the road by the ladies. One of the ladies,
at Quebec, knocked one of our boy°' hate
off and kept it as a souvenir. He ie go-
ing round now with a Union Jack tied
round his neck. We have about all the
troops on board now and it is a soldierly
looking train. I got a lot of nicepreeenle
from friends in Toronto. Mrs. (Dr.)
Blank, of St. Andrew's oharob, gave me
a little morocco finger Testament.
Love to all atbome. Will write again
when possible and let you know my ad-
dress. LEON.
