WHEN will the Dominion election be 7 AN extended report of the political meeting recently 'held in Listowel may be read on page 6 of this iesue., Read Sir Rlohard Cartwright'e speech. TICE Wingham Advance has cot yet produced the reaults of the recent Courts of Revision verifying his contention that the figures published by Tns Poor were incorrect. Don't be backward, Mr. Ad- vance, but let us see your majority by municipalities for hast Huron. THE Manitoba Separate Schools quee- tion has the platform in the meantime and is stirring up considerable feeling. A. public meeting was held in Toronto on Monday evening at which speeohes were made by D'Alton McCarthy, E. Douglae Armour, P. Ryan, W. T. R. Preston and others. The Mayor preeided. No inter. fereuoe was the decision of the meeting. ZereNEsn troops are slowly but appar- ently surely making their way to Pekin, the capital of China. While the Chinese have given an occasional hard battle to the invaders, their cowardly retreats have inspired the Zaps with the feeling of victory every time they meet. The peace negotiations proceed slowly and very little value appears to be placed upon human life by the tedious delays in ar- ranging terms. Tun campaign is on in East Huron. Dr. MoDonald and Jae. McMullen, M.P., for Wellington, held a rousing meeting at Molesworth last Tuesday evening at which the building was crowded to the door, E. L. Dickenson addresses a meet- ing at Gerrie on Friday evening of this week. It would be more generally inter- esting if the candidates held joint meet- ings where both sides of the political questions could be debated. CoNsmEcAure feeling has been engend- ered ngendered in the Local Legislature over the bitter attack made on the Patrons of In- dustry by Messrs. Master, Howland and others during the debate on the budget. The Newe gives as a reason that it was so planned to whip Conservative Patrons into line for the coming Dominion elec- tion. Mr. Haycock, the leader of the Patrons, dose not appear to be discomfit - ted, but openly states that they are not there to upset the Government so long as they get the legislation their platform de- mands. POLITICAL. Premier Greenway is still very weak and looks frail yet. Major Thomas Beattie was nominated as the Conservative candidate in London last week. The Winnipeg Free Press advisee that the schools of that provinoe be made entirely eeoular, Hon. Wilfred Laurier, the eloquent Liberal leader, speaks .atthe Grand Opera House, London, on March 27. Mr. Tarte aeeerte that the Liberal majority from Quebec, after next Do- minion election will be from 15 to 20. Gains are reported everywhere. The city of Winnipeg and the Provin• oial Government purpose spending 9200,• 000 in making the Red River navit+able irom'Lake Winnipeg to the oity. The Dominion Government has de- cided not to interfere with the Manitoba School Act of 1894, emending its aot of 1890. The time for dieallowauce expired last week. Premier Bowel!, the Conservative leader in the Dominion, has written a letter to 0. W. Sowers, of Peterboro' in- dignantly denying that he ever voted for Home Rule. I believe the great mass of the people do not believe that the way to alleviate disirese le to impose taxation. The idea is illogical, and cannot commend iteeif to any reasonable mind. -Hon. Alexander Maokenzie in 1877. The latest decision of the Privy Coun- cil does not say the Federal Parliament must, but that it may, grant remedial legislation. This ie the exact position of affairs, and the fact canuot be expreeeed too clearly or too often. Sir Donald Smith declines to be a Conservative candidate in Montreal, though elected as such in the elections of 1887 and 1891. The country needs a change, and Sir Donald is wise enough to see that it will be decreed. Re will run as an independent. Canadian barley le !voted at 48 to 50 Penta a bushel at Ontario shipping pointe, and at 63 to 66 Penta a bushel here. The difference of 15 cents a bushel is due to the United States duty of 80 per cent ad valorem. -New York Soottieh Amerioan, Hon. N. C.

Mr. Morrison, ex-Atttaney Geuerat, and leader of the Opposirion says that the roae,,e for this course ie. A desire not to add to the present troubles of the colony by parte warfare, and that men of all politioal shades should stand shoulder to shoulder to extrioate the colony from its present unhappy midi. tion. The deoision .meets general ap- proval, the best elements among the people feeling that the bitltsr contest at this-junoture would be fatal to the colocy's future. The prevent constitovien of the Senate is inconsistent with the Pelmet principle in our system of government, and is in other respects defective, as it maker, the Senate independent of the people and un- controlled by the pabtio opinion of the country, end should be so amended as to bring it into harmony with the principle.; of popular government." Tee experieuoe of twenty-seven years has clearly demon Witted that Ibe Canadian Senate,. ender the present mode of appointment, is an mterly useless appendage to the Iegiela five machinery of Canada. It does not command popular confidence; it soarnely receives public reeognition. Appointed by the Crown in theory, it was no doubt expected by the fathers of Confederation that dignity, impartially and a lofty sense of duty would be the oharaoterietios of the body. The login of facts lays rude bands upon these pleasant anticipations The appointments ate for life. They are made by a partizan ministry. They are bestowed as a rule upon old political time -servers. No regard is made to the propriety of having all shades of political sentiment fairly represented in the body. The Tory Party has been in power since 1878. Since that date, with possibly one or two exceptions, none but Tories have been appointed to the position. When a Liberal senator dies his place is filled straightway by a Tory. Tbie process has gone on till oat of a body of 78. members not more than 12 Liberate are left, and were the present Govern• meat to remain in ofiine a few years longer the Liberal element in the Senate would become extinct. The body costs the country 9133,000 per annum. It does pot render that many Dente' worth of service. It offers little cheek to haety or vigorous legislation, and it ooatents itself with saying "Amen" to the decrees of the Government and etrengliog, or impeding for years, the passage of any moral legislation that manatee from the Opposition side of the House of Commons. As the Canadian senator is. never called upon to present himself to a constituency for re-election,he ie naturally totally in. different to publie opinion or popular demand. Perched upon its serene height of irreeponaible authority, the Senate has the power to thwart popular deelre for reform or defy pnblie sentiment, how- ever overwhelming the expre+cion may be. Its action might easily be made meet disastrous to the pnblio weal If it poeeesese any power for good itwonld be difficult to say when that power has been exercised. It certainly poseessee vast power for misohief,for death is the only potentate, aside from a constitution- al amendment, that can change its coin. pterion. The Liberal party very proper. ly demands a change of the oonstltution that shall make the Senate a body in harmony with the principles of popular government. Details as to mode of election, length of term, vaunting seat upon dissolution of Parliament and cog- nate questions are left for full dieouesion and mature, well -considered aotion, but the prinoiple of responsibility to the electorate and harmony in oouetituting and working with the requirements of a popular form of Government, is clearly asserted and has become a cardinal point in the policy of the Liberal Party. 17 ' ELS POST e I The Advent .'0ltriatian ••Oberst is ap a0 plying f5rinout oration, ' to i Tice 7,°ublio Accounts Committee'ap, t o ' i la x a' luted l a s v chairman, r Nta � i A at a. , P Y mn fp Air.

Lady Aberdeen visited the Ontario House on Wednesday evening of last week. She was met by Sergeant-at•Arme Glackmeyer, and by him conducted to the Chamber, where she listened to the de- bate. Andrew Pattullo, President of the Good Roads Assooiation of Ontario, and 3E. W. McNay, Secretary, waited upon the Gov- ernment Thursday afternoon and asked for a grant of $500 towards the expenses of the organization. Mr. Crawford bas given notice of the following inquiry of the Ministry: -((1 Have municipalities in this Province the power to regulate the hours for the retail sale of liquors by the'license-holders therein 7 (2) What body has such powers if not the municipalities 7 The Printing Committee has been or. ganized, with J.

In connection with the printing of returns, upon the Secretary's suggestion, the cost of printing will be reduced by having returns written by sessional writers where only a few copies are required. The brewers and maletere Bent a de- putation to the Government Friday after. noon, beaded by James Lottridge, the president of their association. Their re. quest was in effect thata system of five year's linen e be established. Sir Oliver Mowat's reply was not very comforting, he telling them that it was unlikely that any legislation dealing with the matter would be introduced. • 1 • n 9 LOCAL LEGISLATURE. There is not now a ease of smallpox in Ontario said Dr. Bryce. The last patient at Guelph has been lot loose. The dis- ease 1s still fashionable in six planes in Michigan. The people of Ontario will hear of no compromise on the Government House question, They want thewhole insti- tution, look, ?took and barrel, abolished. They desire tome the Governor of On. toxic provide hie own !louse and meet. hie own household expenses just as the Governors of adjoining States do 0n half the eatery. And Petrone and old-line Oppositioniete should compel the Minis. try to give effect to the popular will. In asking that a close season be vital). liebed for cranberries the Patron mem bare are not trifling with the Legielature.

The development of the businese is, h o w• 0ver, interfered with bythe gatheringof norm() Leiria?w h'obspbit almost as snob as the oh a' to oesu r9 the Y o mar's sellar. It is to prevent this too early gathering that the Patrons ask for legislation and the request should be granted by the Assam. b!y. Four deaths of old people were record. ed in Galt last week. The oldest was 83 and the voungent 73. The aggregate is about 334 years. Two residents of Ditto Township nam• ed August Pei,k and John Stook venti- lated a horse trade in the Division Court the other day. They met each other one night last fall and traded horses in the dark. The roads were very :muddy, end between the mud and the da,kness the blemishes were prettty well covered up. Next day Peiok deoided he had been worsted, Stook's horse being a kicker and, of very little use. He therefore brought action to recover damages Stook filed a counter claim on the score that Patch's horse was blind in one eye and otherwise badly blemished. A large number of witneseee were examined on both sides, and Judge Woods, of Strat. ford, left the case with a jury, who, after due deliberation, returned a verdict for the defendant.
