FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1897.
FEw changes will be made in the tariff
from the drat draft as presented to the
Government. The House is pushing
work along at a fairly lively rate looking
toward the olose in a few weeks.
IT is stated that Hon. G. W. Rose
Minister of Education, purposes making
the Normal School term 10 months, in-
stead of as at present. This would prob-
ably have a tendency to reduce ,the
number of embryotio school teachers.
Tun Turkey—Greeoian war is about at
an end and the latter has made a dismal
failure of what appeared at one time to
be a brave struggle for the right. There
is no doubt but that the war has done
Turkey good in the estimation of other
nations and with consummate gall they
now ask Greene to not only shut up but
to put up to a very lively tune as follows:
£3,000,000 indemnity; better intonation.
al treaty ; the surrender of their fleet ;
and Unsettlement of the Cretan difficulty.
The above tidy little sum will keep
Greece's none on the grindstone for many
a day.
A vsxx striking exhibition of the un-
stable and fickle condition of publio
°pinion has been recently given in the
Kingdom of Greece. Not more than a few
weeks ago King George's praises were
sounded from shore to shore bat by the
aotion of one man the tide changes and
the King comes within an ace of losfeg
hie life. It would apper that the world
ie mach the same as it was 1800 years
ago when "Hosanna and Crucify" were
spoken in almost the same breath. Per.
sonally we do not envy the King of Greece
and would not be very particular about
trading places with him. He might
make a bigger suooese of Tun Pon than
we have but the present incumbent has
no particular desire to realize on his life
insurance policies by the dagger route in
Athens.
Tan Toronto World, whose editor and
proprietor is a Conservative M. P., does
not beat about the bush in abating his
reasons for the disastrous defeats suffered
by his party. Sere is what be Bays in
Wednesday's daily :—There is only one
hope for the Conservative party and that
is in thorough reconstruotion. It was re-
construction that the World orged four
years ago, when things began to take an
ominous look. But that advice was
ignored. Ever since the defeat in June
last the men who were mainly responsible
therefor made a virtue of devising opposi.
tion to the Liberals ; they were engaged
in that business when the Nova Scotia
elections came of ; they were in that
business when the Quebeo elections were
on. The result in eaob case has been a
Liberal sweep. Ioatead of fighting the
Liberals, the Coueervatives had better
set themselves at the work of seriously
reoonetruotiug their party and to devising
a progressive platform. The men who
brought about all the late disasters mush
retire. The Conservative policy and the
Conservative rank and file are all right,
but many of the leaders need to stand
aside. Reconstraotioo is the very present
deity in hand.
Tun annual meeting of East Huron
Farman' Institute will be held in Brus.
eels on Tuesday, June 1st, at 1 o'clock,
Directors and Auditors will be elected
and a statement of the proceediuge of the
past year presented. Alt members are
asked to make note of this date and attend.
F. W. Hodson,Superintendentof Farmers'
Institutes, gives the following facts :—
Before 1806, the circular observes, the
Government grant to each institute was
dependent upon the report sent to the
Department of Agriculture at the close of
the year. Ib now depends on the report
given at the annual meeting, a copy of
which must reach the Superintendent
not later than June 20, 1897. On Dec-
ember 81, 1805, the total institute mem-
bership of the Province was 11,020 ;
June 30, 1896, the membership was 12,.
884 ; although only four menthe of this
year have elapsed, the memberehip on
May 1 was 14,228. From December 1,
1896, to May 1, 1897, about 480 institute
meetings were held, the various seesioue
of which were attended by 110,768 per-
sons. The delegates sent out by the de.
pertinent delivered 2,188 addresses, and
lonal men 862, making the total number
of addresses delivered during this period(

Loxnox, Eng., May 10.—In its weekly
review of the foreign market bo -day, the
Mark Lane Express comments upon the
unfavorable cereal weather in England,
and adds :—"In Franoe the wheat is
mating little headway. The weather is
distinctly ungenial. Frosts in Normandy
and Brittany have been frequent. In
Germany the season is Summerlike. The
April rainfall has been ample and plant
life has grown rapidly. In Austria the
wheat is extremely forward. Italy and
Spain are both expecting good wheat.
The promise of the Winter -sown corn in
Poland, Russia, Roumania and Bulgaria
appears to be fully up to the average.
The Spring sowings in Russia are in ar
rears in the chief wheat districts North,
but the usual acreage of oats has been
sown in the East and centre, and of
barley in the South-east."

May make. One lob, 190 boxes, sold ab

Tula (7nEESE TRnnE.—This week the
first shipments of cheese of the season of
1897 will go forward from tbie port at a
coat of Sono to 10ie for finest Western
white and oolored, and at 9}e to 10o for
undergrades, At the beginning of the
present week sales were reported to us
of about 600 to 600 boxes of finest whitie
at 100, and about 500 boxes finest oolor-
ed at 10to ; bub today 10k is looked
upon as no outside figure, and finest
white and colored may be quoted at 100
to 10k. A year ago the same class of
goods brought no to to 90, or leo to 1}o
less. Nearly all the western April make
has been bought up from the fnotorymen,
and in quite a number of inetanoes we
understand the make has been contracted
up to May 8th, such a thing as was
never before known in the history of the
trace. Much as a number of faotorymen
doeired to turn out all the fodder obsess
possible in order to take advantage of
the profitable rates ruling, the general.
ly cold Spring has retarded the flow of
mint, and prevented ss many cheese be.
ing made us there otherwise would have
been. As the May make increases lower
prices must of oaarse be looked for.—
