ENOLAND and France heve, so a London cablegram stelae, demanded indemnity from the Argentine Republic for the property of subjects of those countries to the value of $10,000,000 destroyed by the recent bombardment of ieuenos Ayres by the rebellious navy. The combined tints of England and France, it is stet - ed, are -to assemble at Buenos Ayres to support tbe demand if necessary. eln. elowee's refusal to pay the $17,000 dernanded by the federal government from the province of Onterio for the mainteriance of lunatics from the once disputed territory in a Manitoba asylum, while the boundary diapnte wits pending, will be generally approved. Tbeir le neither a legal nor a moral foundation for the federal government's claim, and Sireelin Thompson has not enhanced his reputation as a lewyer or a statesman by presenting it. If the Dominion has paid Manitoba for meentaining lunatics from the disputed territory that fact does not give the federal government a claim against Ontario for the sum so paid.— Ottawa Citizen. — TEE le.te Wm. MoD. Dawson, whose death occurred in Montreal on Saturday, was a gentleman who in his time render- ed valuable service to the Dominion. He was one of the first to make known to the people of the eastern provinces the great extent and fertility of our North- western plains, and to advocate the per. chase of the country by Canada. Mr. Dawson was for many years in the ser- vice of the crown lands departmeut of the old province of Canada. He resign• ed his position as superintendent of the woods and forests branch in 1808, and was elected to parliament for the oity of Three Rivers. At the next election he was -returned for the county of Ottawa., which he represented until defeated in 1868. The deceased gentleman was a brother of Rev. Father Dawson, of Ottawa, and of S. J. Dawson, of Ottawa, and of S. J. Dawson, M. P., for Algoron. Tao London Advertiser says :—Dr. Bernardo defends the dumping of the old world neglected children of the slums in Ontario on the ground that he and his associates do the best they can to select only such as are not tainted with heredi. tary disease. He says further that the children are all unskilled laborers. That may be, yet we muet not forget that ehildren feared in iniquity and having vicioul parents are not the most desirable associates for the properly reared off- spring of Canadians. Besides, as Com. missioner Jury pointed out to the pro- fessional philanthropist, we have poor boys enough in the Dominion without sending for more from Great Britain. It is a positive injustice to the working classes of this country to take public money, wrung from the taxpayers by the Ottawa authorities, and bonus Dr. Ber- nardo and his associates to briog in these waifs and straye to virtually work for board and clothes, and make it more difficult for the laborers already here to find a job. A case in point came up in Wentworth court the other day, when an immigrant of this kind swore that he worked from 5 in the morning till 9 at night for just enough money to get him. self clothing. Commissioner jary's pro. test is a. just one. According to present indications Can- ada will have more wheat to export this year than during any year in the history of the country. The two provinces specially interested in wheat growing, Ontario and Manitoba, have excellent crops. In Ontario a large part of the crop is harvested and some threshing has been done. In Manitoba it is dill in the fields, and all that is necessary to mature the largest crop the province has yet grown ie two weeks of fine weather. Ontario will have an enormous crop of fall wheat. The low price of barley lest year and the uncertainity of United States legielation regarding barley duties had the effect of turning more attention to wheat, The acreage has been largely increased, and he it was 800,537 lest year it is probably not far from 1,000,000 this year, In 1887 it was nearly 000,000. Added to the increased eareage is the eertainity of bee of the best crops: in many years. The average yield during the years from 1882 to Ism was 18,778e 000, but this year it ie very probable thet it will not be short of 25,000,000. Placing the spring wheat crop at 0,218,000, the average for the years betweett 1:582 8, the fatal Ontario wheaticrop will be over 31,000,000 bnshols.
