A reE,cix of peace has been signed be.
tweeze China and Japan the berms of
which are said to be :-First, theindepen-
denoe of Corea ; second, Japan's retention
of the conquered places ; third, Japan's
retention of the territory east of the Liao
River ; fourth, permanent cession of For.
mosa ; fifth, indemnity of one hundred
million dollars ; sixth, an offensive and
defensive alliance between China and
Japan. The war will therefore be at an
end. Although China is a heavy loser by
the war the probabilities are it will have
a very beneficial effeot upon the Empire
in purging it from corruption and broad-
ening the horizon of celestials by the in-
troduction of nineteenth centuryimprove-
ments.

The Dominion Voters' List Act ought
to be repealed without delay. Already it
has cost the country over a million of
dollars. Every time a new one is pre-

million, and then it is not likely to be as
fall and as fair a list as that prepared
by the various loon) municipalities, and
used at the various Provincial elections.
These Bate are usually up to date, and
can be had for the melting. For e
political party to apppint its own re -
voting officers, to make up the voters'
lists, to superintend all the preparations,
to have them all printed in their own
office, and by their own hired moa, and
then revised by their own appointees, is
as soandalouely unjust and midair as it
would be to allow one party to an im.
portant law suit to select and prepare the
jury 'lista to try the case. -Canadian

offioer of the anoient Exchequer left,
dating baok to 1286 at least. His duty
was to remind the Lord Treasurer and
the Barons of the Exchequer "of snob

relating to the Mauitoba school question
reads as follows ;-"In asking you to re-

not refer to it from the pulpit. You are
free, however, beyond this, to express the
