FRIDAY NOV. 25, 1892. Tne Young Conservative Club of To- ronto hes p,ased a resolution that it is quite a proper thing for them to criticise the notion of the Dominion Government if they see fit, It ie, started that Hon. Edward Blake, M. P. for South Longford, is likely to be placed it. the positive of chairman of the commi'tee on Rome Rule for Ireland. Parliament will meet shortly now. The G. 0.

It can't some any too soon. TELE esaw•off' business in connection with the scores of election protests in this country is a great, big fraud and the people who pay their good money to have these cases entered in the Courts should learn a wholesome lesson. There is only one of two theories to be accepted. A very elastic couseieaee was possessed by the individual who formulated the charg- es or else wholesale bribery and bood- liug is winked at. If guilty the party should certainly be punished if not why the b'uster and fussy There's a great deal of shawl in election protests. IMPOJIT:1A I' TO FLRMEJ1S. Owing to the arrangement made for the carrying of this year's grain crop by the Boards of Trade of Termite and 3/entreat with the Railway Companies, all export grain requires to be inspected. The Beltway Companies have reserved bins for this purpose a' eea•board points, but it le made compulewy epee the ship- per that his grain grades No. 2 Owing to this action farmers this season will have to be very °mteful in thoroughly deeming their grain so it will pass the Inspector's hands, Grain buyers throughout Ontario will now, under these new regulations, have to be careful also in buying and see that the grain perches- edleweb cleaned when brought to mar- ket. The grain generally iu this section is of good quality, all it requires to pass No. 2 inspeotion is that it be web clean ed, otherwise, owing to the above mentioned regulations, buyers will be eompelledito bay dirty grain at a com- siderable reelection. The alternative is in the hands of the farmer rind the men who attend to this work carefully are the persons who will be advantaged by it. This hint is given now so that no one in Haig locality need plead ignorance. NOTIIIxe particularly 11510 in School Board matters this week, J. H. Camer- on, the proposed new Principal, has been communicated with and has accepted the appointment. He is attending the Nor. mal School et Ottawa at present. Miss Sproat, who was chosen to snoaeed Miss Maud Abraham as Primary teaoher had taken another position 00 the Board has engaged Mies Cooper for this clepartniout, Shue person sent Dr. McKelvey a note asking hind to tender his resignation es a member of the Board or suffer the con. sequences. 1t is supposed to be a joke bat is a Very silly one and the writer could be made smart for it if known. There is a strong feeling that the Trustee Board did not do right in declining Mr. Shaw's application, more particularly as be had met them on the question of t'e• dilation in salary, the objection rsi,ed, There is considerable foroe in Chia, es- pecially when it is taken into oonsidera• tion that the teachers of the next two departments were re-engaged. Mr. Shaw has a record held by fele teachers in On- tario. Tn the 80 years he has taught he IMS 11 years in No. 1, Mullett township, and was engaged for the 1211 year when be took Walton school ab ati increase of salary. After 0 ,yoare there he same to Breesels where lie has been Principal for 104 years. No person in Brussels today Will deny that lie is a tiptop teacher with it method of imparting instruction squall. ed by few, ponce his claim should have carried more weight than it diel, backed up as it was by the expressed wish of about a hundred ratepayers whose opin- ions should certainly bo worth some- thing. ALL is not gold that glitters in the United States any more than in Canada and while President Cleveland is unques- tionably a man of great executive Ability he will require his best powers to lift tho lbepnblio out of the Slough of Despond that the Republican party have placed it in. Here is what a eorrespondeub from Washington has to say on the outlook "If Mr. Cleveland calls an extra session of Congress next Spriue it will not bo on account of the tariff 0000e bot because means 111091 be provided to meet a large deficit in the Treasury, that will come as a heritage from a four years' adminis• tration of the finances by the Ropunlioan party." This statement teas made by Senator Carlisle when asked as to the probability of an extra se.siol of the House. Only once in the history of the Government has it been necessary to call Congress to Washington in order to avert a financial crisis. President Van Berea un 1837 called as extra. cession to devise ways and means to supply an impendin:t deficit. When President Cleveland left the White Muse iu 1850 there wee a surplus in the treasury of nearly 8100,- 000,000. When Mr. Cleveland comes bark next March he will find immediate action ase-esiery in order to meet the heavy drafts made upon the treasury at the cad of the fiscal year. So good an authority as Senator Carlisle has declar- ed that until additional revenue is pro. vidsd it will be useless to talk of passing bills and making material additions to the free list. Reduction in tariff duties will undoubtedly inoreese the import» - tions and proheb'y augment the total receipts from customs, but adeletions to the free list simply wipe out revenue. The World editorially says :—On Jam 1 next there will be on the era i 1 roll 1 p stat o 1 full 1,000,00:1 names. The appropria. tion fm• the payment of pensions which Co ;;;rtes is exeeet.,d to make et the eoui ing session is $186,000,000. These figures are startling. They show that the pen- sioners are in the proportion of nearly one in 12 to the voters of the who'() Union. And this for a war that ended more than a. gnatter of a oentury ago. They show that the cost of the pension list absorbs more than 40 per cent of the nation's revenue. It will be the duty of the Demonratio President and Congress to revise the pension list in the interest alike of deserving veterans and of an imperilled treasury. LATE despatches from Penis slate that the groat Panama canal project has been practically abandoned, and that those who induoed investors to take up the last issue of the o'ampany'a bonds may be prosecuted. This is a sad ending to the career of the great DeLesseps. The new oanal oonpany asked some time aro for au extension of one year in which to resume work, the present limit expiring ou Feb, 28011, 1808, at which time, unless operations haus begun, all the comes - stone made to the company lapse, and the property on the isthmus escheats to the Columbian government. Men who have studied the matter think the pro- ject dead and thet work will never be re- sumed, and that if it were it oould not be completed in ten years and would re. quire a mtut of money. The only actual canal is seven utilise on the Atlantic aide only navigable by small boats and this is rapidly filling up, owing to the washouts from hillsides and the growth of tropical verdure. All along the line of lbs oanal are the wrecks of the moat oastly machin. cry, inoluding hundreds of huge dredges and fully as many blank lido -wheel shoal water boate of a peculiar French model. The value of this ruined plant is pieced at $2,000,000, and will revert to the Colnrubiau government, but it is gees. tionable if much can be realised ort of it owing to its condition and position. The isthmus is almost a continual line of deserted villages and settlements of the canal company, the only inhabitants being a few atives and Jamama nogroos, Me latter of whom live in dirty huts, At every turn end mattered along tbo panel ars sooros of locomotives, some under sheds but most of them exposed.

From De Olare, Alan.—We are hewing. a very nice Fell out here. The weather is fine.

To be sure we had a pear crop this year but that is not the rule. There is Duo thing that we have got and Iltat is a ;,,od government. The Greenway Govern- tnent can not be downed, What we want here in Manitoba is Free Trade with the United States. I bhink that if we could get a change of government down at Ottawa we would halve better times and get better prices for our gl'ain. S. I. fxALLILAT. Perth (Jaunty.
