Blair leaves the Government. The news from Ottawa this week, is of importance, as showing that there is, or has been, differences of opinion in the Cabinet in reference to the wisdom of the construction ,if the Quebec to Moncton part of what is now generally known as the Grand Trank Pacific Railway, as a government work. Mr. Blair, it seems,- was at variance with his colleagues on the subject, holding that this road, if built, would in- jure the prod 'cts of the Intereol inial. also a Government road, and as a protest against such a proceed ing, has resigned his portfolio us Minister of Railways and Canals, and consequently, as a member of the Laurier Cabinet. This was, of course, the proper thing to do under the circumstances, and will stump ,lir. Flair as a man who prizes his honor and independence more than he does the honors and emoluments as a Minister of the Crown, The resignation has been accepted, and hereafter ho will sit and tote only as a private member. Who his suc- cessor will be is at present only a matter of conjecture, but we in- cline to the opinion that Mr. Em- merson. another lower Province moan. is pretty were to be called.— The portfolio is an important one Land carries with it a, large. aumonnt of patronage. It is more than likely, however. that if the duties of the' position are not divided, that one of the present members of the Ad- ministration will be moved " n.p a peg.- and the new man—whoever may 1,e -get one of the minor positions—such as President of the (lonncil ur Minister of Justice. Mr Blair's resignation. at this time and under such cirenn,stanc•cs, will not add. to the pr(atige+ of the govern- ment in this Railway matter, by ;cur me ens, for not a few if the lib- erals nay be inolineal to look ut the ,stipest in tle same light as !lid the ;xc'ntleninn wt•1h=, steps doWE incl out.- rather than be a, party to legislation which he (foes not oon- sider to be in the interest of the .:emnntiy• comevacant ?' Whatever the cause rine thing is quite apparent and that >t.v -tat the men in power are doing all they can to draw' around them. Another family compact, and turn their backs on the " Old Brigade" who helped them to power, by giv, ing both time and •money, and in fighting the battles which -finally culminated in the defeat of the Con- serva tire party, under the leader- ship of Sir Charles Tupper, in 1896. Not content with beeping the late Sir Oliver Mowat in the Guberna- torial office of Ontario, for many 4nonths after his. term expired, they thrust the oppointnent of a succes- sor, at his death, upon a moan who was politically. unknown and who was not even an applicant, and now follows the re-appoiintnrent of Sir Louis Jette, to preside over Speneerwood for another term of years. Neither of these, gentlemen elver mounted a hustings to say a word in favor of the government, or of Reform principles, yet they are foisted into offices with large emoluments, and kept there, to the exclusion of equally good, and in some respects, much better men, whose influence and power in debate helped members of the cabinet to their present positions.

City of To., ronto, Toronto Electric Light Com- pany vs. City of 'Toronto, Toronto Incandescent Light Co vs. City of Toronto, Ottawa Electric Light Co. vs. City of Ottawa, Ottawa Gas Clo. vs. City.of Ottawa. The appeals in each cash were made by cotxipanies, judgment be- ing previously given against them. The judgment will govern all sim- ilar ceases in the province. Chief .Justice Moss in announcing the decision, said : Under a sub- section of the recent act of the Leg islature. it was held that the coni- panies involved could c"la.iin certain exemptions.i The judges before whom. the' cases were tried held oth- erwise, and we agree with the con- struction placed upon the act by those judges. We think than un- der a proper construction of the act —which is not easy to construe— the claims of the companies are not supported, and that the plants are assessable, as held by the munici-. palities. Accordingly, the appeals are all dismissed. The cross ap- peals put in by the city of Ottawa are also dismissed." The decision had the concurrence of time frill court, including Justices Mclennan, Osler, (*arrow and Mac- laren, Fruit Trade With the West in a Critical Condition..

Have Sir Richard Cart- wright anti. the Ron Wm. Patterson lost their grip, or their heads, that such things can now take place at Ottawa ? Pope Leo Dieing. For a couple of weeks past, His Holiness, Pope Leo XIII, has been on the verge of death. so his Physi- cians say, and he has been prepared for that event, so far as the Church ordinances can prepare him, but at the time of writing, he is still alive and at latest accounts had trunsaet- od some business incumbent to his high office. He is certainly as man of rcmnarkab]e vitality, has under- gone a couple of surgical operations recently, and is puzzling the doe tors in attendance, to a remarkable extent. He is now in his 93rd year, which in itself is remarkable, as few men now reaola that great age, and is possessed of all his - mental faculties. Leo has been a good Pope, his influence at all times counting for pence and hatrnmony, not only in the Church of which he is the conspicuous Bead. but among nations, as well, and Catholicism can congratulate itself if his succes- sor is as good a mran in every res- pect. The Scrsp Iron Assessment Case Disposed of. The Law held to be Constitutionally Good.. The much - tlisca•assed question which arose under the act passed by the Provincial Legislature in the Session of 1001, regarding the as- .eeaasrne,nt of as large portion of the plants of various frane.hise'ltolding companies. was disposed of, a felt days ago. by a judgment handed out by the court of appeal. Under time decision the companies cannot I escape the taxation which they Mr. Blair hat proved him ,elf souo.ht, and the city municipalities good adnninistrativo officer, and his action in having, filo, -ve5tt'rn ter- mimis of the Intercolonial Raliway removed from Point Levis to Mon- treal, has converted a non-paying esoncern into, if not at present the most valuable asset desired, at least to a revenue-producing foot- ing, is creditable to hien, as is also the completion of the deepening ,of the canals and water -ways between thr' great lakes and tide -water.

It is the old scrap iron ease.-- Wlien it was discovered a few years ago that the rails, poles, wires, &c. of a railway or lighting company would be assessed only at their 'value as scrap iron, ander the law that had for many years been on the statute book, a new act was in- troduced by the Provincial Attorn- ey -General, to 'do away with this condition of affairs, which was ad- mitted pre tty generally, except by the companies themselves, to bo an injustice. With. that end in view, the act was passed in 1001. The companies thought they saw a loop -hole in it, and immediately set about to again escape taxation if they could. Their claim was' that under it e, large part of their plants could be assessed only as personality. This view was -widely canvassed% and the Provincial Gov nlent came in for 'a great deal of criticism, the charge being that it was in league with the corporations and that a deceptive act had been passed. Tho case went before several different county court judges and boards of assessment, Five ce sex neat and attractive packages of the sort that Western dealers prefer to handle. There are immense pos- sibilities in this Western trade for the Ontario fruit growers, but up- to-date methods of packing and shipping •will leave to be'adopted at once, or the whole 'of this great and growing. business will be ;cap- ttued by the Americans.- ..Fruit mericans...Fruit Inspector Philp, of W,' inni- peg writes that matters have come to a critical stage, and that unless Ontario now umabes a determined bid for the trade, the market will be occupied _.inmost exclusively by fruit from California, Oregon. and British Columbia. In the case . of apples, even Kansas and Missouri are likely to be strong comnpetitors, According to Mr. Philp. the pack- ages wanted in the Winnipeg mar- let are the. -i,,; following : -- Early apples. the bushel box ; pears, the half -box, holding twenty pciuntls of wrapped fruit ; peaches and plums, the crate holding four boxes. sitni- lar to those used. by California shippers.and which are well known in all Canadian markets, It is very important that Ontario shippers should realize the critical stage at which this trade has arriv- ed, and that they should mnake a united effort to capture the West- ern market, not only by perfecting the details of their own end of the business, but by taking top the matter of transportation with the express and railway companies in order to secure if possible a better and quicker service to Winnipeg. At present fruit is frequently for- warded br express from Toronto to Winnmpeg via Smith's Palls, and even via Montreal, to connect with the through trains. The result is that the fruit is, on the road from 18 to 24 hours longer than it would be if sent via. North Bay, • aancl con- sequently it floes net arrive in Winnipeg; in the best condition. If the carrying eonrnanies can be eon- vinced that Ontario grevvers are prepared to maintain a steady shipment of. fruit in modern pack- ages, and not merely to send West the fruit that the' East docs not evant, put til) in all sorts of anti- quates) shapes, there i little dotibt• that adequate service will he pro- vided, at drate which will compare favorably with that now enjoyed. by Oregon and California shippers. t1ARN�SS TRUNKS VALISES WHIPS FANCY RUGS OILCLOTHS HARNESS OILS Agency for Spaetzel's Pneumatic Collars Try them for your tender -shouldered horso FURNITUE .A FULL LINE ALWAYS IN STOCK HIGH GRADE PIANOS AND ORGANS A number of second-hand will be sold at BARGAIN PRICES T HEN SAT JA 1)ASFI OO_i ).
