ALL Casirsarm, the Provincial Road
CoMmissiouer, is doing a good work in
Ontario and in the years to come his
services will be more highly appreciated
even than now at the almost initial stage
of the good roads movement. This week
Mr. Campbell is delivering addresses in
Bruce County and preparing plans of
roadways, drainage, &o., for presentation
to the various municipalities interested,
showing the best way to carry out the

WE believe the Senate costs infinitel
more than it is worth to this countr
and largely so because the seats are oft
filled by men unqualified for the highs
Chambers both as to age and practical ex
perience. Many of them have beea tira
servers of the most finished type. If th
y
Senate is to bo re -organized rather than
abolished then we think the appointments
made this week of Hon, David Mills, of
London, and Geo. A. Cox, of Toronto,
are the very kind that will benefit the
country and make the Senate of use,
Mr. Mills is a brilliant lawyer, in the
prime of life, and with a long experience
in political affairs. Mr. Cox is a shrewd
business man who stands in the front
rank as a financier, The new men will
vote against maintaining the unlicensed
bar in the Senate Chamber, we sincerely
hope.

Imams, Eng., Nov. 10.—The Mark
Lanei
Express n the course of a long
article on the orops, says :—"The de
Delaney in India is now known to be very
serious, bat it is not likely that any
large wheat imports will occur. Al-
though priecs only range from 26s to 36s
per quarter the extreme poverty of the
Indian populace renders anything over
30s almost prolaibitoryl and las to 26s is
the usual range. Owing to the failure
in India and Australia a deficiency of
2,033,600 quarters has been created in
Groat Britain's usual supply, which
must bo made 05 from other sources,_
and is a changethe situation which
itself is sufficient to uphold the recent
rise. The quantities of wheat in passage
to the United Kingdom on Nov. 7th were
2,401,000 quarters, of which Russian
wheat. amounts' so 400,000 quarters,
North American, 900,000, South Ameri-
can, 100,000, Californian, 1,220,000, and
elsewhere, 26,000 quarters. The spring
corn trade has been dull for maize, the
supply of which is larger than a good
retail demand can easily tuesirnilate,
while the largo new crop in America
discourages any idea of speculative per.
chases for a rise in 1807."
