Tan Ontario Gazette contains the an- nouncement of the federation of Victoria University with the University of To. ronto. The proclamation states that the President and the Board of Regents and the Chanoillor of the senate of Vic. toria have given notice to the Provinoial Seoretary that they had resolved to sus. pend their power of conferring degrees (other than those in theology.) In view of this fact it is proclaimed that after Nov. 15th the Victoria University will be federated with the University of To- ronto. Tag Manitoba ecbool question is .,not settled yet. The Roman Catholics of Manitoba are paying eohool rates im- posed by the new school law under pro. teat. There is considerable speculation at Qttawie ae to whether the lady and the '41an(to{ia lenge ge legislation of last gee• cion will be disallowed, The question of disallowance is now being considered by a sub -committee of the Privy Council, consisting of Sir John Macdonald, Sir John Thompson, Sir Hector Langevin, and Hon. Messrs. Abbott and Tupper. Two of this committee are Catholioa and three Protestants ; two are from Quebec, two from Nova Scotia, and one from On. tario. Tag use of wire in running self -binders had to be discontinued owing to the trouble in threshing the grain and the danger of feeding the straw so bound to stock, but it appears the nee of twine by fanners in binding sheaves of grain is 00. coming 8 source of danger to the lives of oattle, too. Two valuable cows belonging to William Muloeic, M. P., of Newmarket, Ont., died without known cause, and on examination the stomachs of the dead animals were found to be congested with undigested binding twine, and this dis- covery probably explains the lose of many other animals. Farmers should not al. low the twice taken from sheaves et threshing to go to wasteamong the straw, bat Net how to do this without involving a great deal of aeditional labor is not apparent. Tan Toronto World says :—It is pro. bable that the local Government will in. troduoe a measure next session empow- ering cities, towns and incorporated vii. lager to supply publio school pupils with free text hooks. The theory on which this policy is based is a reasonable one, The recognition of the principle that it is the duty of the state to educate ite youth may be said to involve the pro. vision of free text books. An important consideration in oonnection with the matter is the feet that the buying of teat books is the excuse of the poor man for keeping hie children away from school. The increased taxation for school purposes which suoh a measure would involve may provoke opposition in some quarters, but there can be hardly any doubt that the new measure will prove to be a wise one. Sr. Melees is experiencing the fallacy of the bonus system by the Maxwell imp- lement works closing down. The ex- perience has been rather of the espensivo variety, however, costing them 9:10,000. The l,erticnlars are something after the following :—About four or five years ago Mr. Maxwell tried to negotiate with St. Thomas for a big bonne to remove hie works there from Paris, at which town they were at the tirno, bet the St, Thomas people could not see their way clear to grant him any 340,000 bonus, as Woodstock had done to the Patterson works, and as Air. Maxwell thought St. Thomas might do for him. St. Marys shortly afterwards voted a bonne approx- imating the one asked for at St. Thomas, and the Maxwell works were accordingly removed to that enterprising town. Tho firm employs from 40 to 100 bands. Ilow the btisinose will pan out in not yet known but it is feared that the town will never realize the golden rottrhe antici- pated when the by-law wee submitted, The Government did a wise net when they fenced in the bonne giving power as they t principle en id dthe is wrong from the beginning to the Dud and in Irina cases out of ten the result is very 111. satisfactory if not disastrous tc the munioipall ty. So.in important ehaugee have been made in the work of the Ontario Minis- ters. The ogre of the publics inetilutione ----Asylums, Central Prison, ,Se.;—hoe been transferred from the department of the Provinoial Treasurer to that presided over by Hon. 3. 111. Gibson. The liquor Unease brand, formerly under the con- trol of the Provincial Seoretary, after. warde under the managemout of the Treasury Department, and still more lately attached to that of the Provinoial Secretary, again goes to the Depart- ment of the Provinoial Treaeurer, where it will be administered by the new head, Mr. Aaroourt. Ie his report to the Quebec legislature as minieter of agriculture and coloniza- tion Premier Mercier says that the popu- larity of the law granting a lot of land to the fathers or mothers of twelve living children has exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine. There are already 1,000 applicants for suoh lois, and the province will be divided into dietriate ou each side of the St. Lawrence, so as to collect in groups, as much as possible, those whose families are acquainted with each other. These groups may, later on, form parishes where the children of those who will be the first to benefit by the law will dwell in prosperity. There is a great deal of sham about the eleotion protests put in over the last Provinoial contest. °bargee of bribery and gross corruption were laid against scores of the successful candidates of both parties and the faithful were "bled" to meet the deposit necessary in entering the protest. After a few months pass by the political atmosphere oleare ;up and when the day of trial comae on the charges are withdrawn about as eagerly se they were entered, in many oases a "saw off" being the rule, viz. one protest balanced by another. Two things are very apparent to in :— lot, There is lase corruption practised than people imagine or else they are afraid to have the evidence admitted to s deseerning public. 2nd, People will, In the heat of an election contest, allow their judgment to be very badly warped and unduly prejudiced which on mature deliberation the step would never be taken. The wholesale protest business appears more like a political "fake" than anything else and appears to resolve it- self into a "great cry for little wool." The guilty Have a right to suffer but more than hearsay evidence should be considered before the Comb is called into requisition, IN the O'Shea divorce case, concluded in London, England, this week, in which the much talked of Irish patriot Parnell bas figured so prominently in paying his addresses to Mrs. O'Shea, has resulted in the granting of separwlion papers. The case all through shows up Parnell in bad light and it is to be hoped if he has not good judgment enough to quietly step down and out of the public position he now ocoapiss that the party ho repre- sents will teach him that a good obaraot- er is demanded from every man who assays to be a leader. Parnell has lost caste with many warm supporters in this country. The Montreal Witness in speak- ing of this case says 1— The clergy will find in it an effective leverage against Irish Liberalism and the people of England and Scotland, will care less for the cause of Howe Rule for Ireland, which is so large associated in their minds with the person of Mr. Par- nell that the discredit of one will seem 10 them like the disoredit of both. One of the worst features of Parnell's conduct was hie unflinchingly dishonoring the home and the oonfideuoe of suoh a man as Mr. Gladstone after the charges had been made against him. Mr. Gladstone and the Liberal party are, however, fully committed to the Home Rale policy, and it will probably be carried in the next elections. Mr. Parnell has accustomed the Irish party of late to the absence of hie leadership, and the transfer will pro- bably be easy enough. I1 will bo in the control of the party that his hand will be missed ; nothing but the severest self - repression on the part of some of the leaders will prevent splits end perhaps wholesale defections during the eleotious. The Lrish hese a thoroughly trained, highly organized parliamentary party, whose members are well disciplined and who have shown themselves willing to seoriflce their own personal elaims to the general cause. The only reparation Mr. Parnell can make to all concerned in his downfall, 18 to get out of public life, to marry the women he has dawned down. Their course in allowing the case to go by defaulb indicates some intention of this kind. Huron County. Oorrle wants a saw mill. Large quantities of apples are being Shipped from Brumfield. Dr, Ewing, of Heaforth, has been ap- pointed physician at Pelee Island. T. & J. Mann shipped from Trowbridge to Minadosia, Man., one car load of apples.

They were destined for Montreal, and the instruc- tions of the shipper were that the cattle were to be fed and watered at Toronto. This, it is said, was omitted from the bill of lading and the cattle went through without this attention. The shipper olaims that the cattle suffered thereby, causing loss to him, hens the grounds for snit. Perth County. A. drum corps is about to be formed in Stratford.
