SEAFO-RTII, FR AY, Sept. 18th, 1896 - Dominic, The Dominion P ioinnwith no prese journment. ,Thos makers would get the session in thirt the country the ful Parhament. rlianient is still in ses- t appearance of an ad - who hoped our law through the business of days, and thus save to sessional indemnity of members, will be disappointed. The thirty days expire with t uis week, and it is almost oerta.in the House -ill be in session for at least two weeks ye., and much longer th this if better progress is not made wi business than has been made since the s sion commenced. The estimates are as y almost untouched, only a few items havi been passed, and Sir _ Charles Tuppe motion of censure of the Governor-Gener has still to come on, and it will likely occ sion a lengthy and bitter discuss*, h whether or not it will be a profitable one, ery Darrell doubt. The Dominion Parli ment is a large body, and, like all oth large bodies, it moves very slowly. T blame for the delay this session may ve fairly be equally distributed between t adherents of both parties, as the oppositio are not entirely to blame. Several ver bitter and lengthy, as well, as profitless di OUSsionS, have been started by members the Government side. When they assa their opponents, charging them with a manner of misdeeds while in power, they ea not expect that their taunts will be allOwe to- pass unchallenged, and thus it has ocen red more than once that time has bee wasted: However, we siippose it is abso ttf- utely necessary that the fighters on bot sides should have an opportunity to get th ection bile worked offeas if they do not here might be several dead member f Parliament before the next session opens t4And besides, the people themselves are ver argely to blame for tine ' interminabl alking on the part of their pa.rliamentar epresentatives. If a representative doe ot talk, no mattermlow hard he rna.y wor it committee and obi; r ways, and how use al a legislator he ny be, his ccinstitu.ent °net think anything of him, aad are like to discard him at the first opportunity nd the more he talks the greater the man e is considered to be by his constituents, lthough he may not do a mortal thing but alk. SO that, after 41,we are ourselves, argely to blatne if' thriti time in Parliament s -Wasted by too much talking. We eem to want talk, and we can get it so long s we are wining to pay for it. One good i.ct has been done during the past week. A '-' esolution was unanimously passed on Tries - ay, instructing the Speaker to entirely v:stelinle the use of liquors from the Com - ons building, so that hereafter liquor will ot be sold either at the bar, in the refresh- ent rooms or at the tables. In fact it is to e entirely excluded from the Houee of oremona. This may have a tendency to heck the flaw of oratory and decrease the , a.ges of Hansard. It ie expected that the- 'enate- will follovv the example of the Com - ons, and that hereafter total prohibition fa prevail around the Parliament build- ga at Ottawa. During the week a couple Id party divisions have taken place, and e inejority of the Government, remained, bout the seem as on the first division. here has hat been any Minister of the In- t: rier seIeeted yet, and it, is not likely there illle mita on the sessicloses. Conjecture ill varies between Mr, Martin and Atter- ley-General &MEt Son, of Manitoba. The N'- L ncyr in Bran,lon is, no doubt, being held e whoever may be selected for the vaca.nt i .1ebinet position. . , an es - et ug r's al 11- nt we a,- er he ry he s - of il 11 r- 11 e. 7 • His Head is Level. Whatever eiSe 11M3r be said of old Li Hung hang; the Chinese Viceroy, he seems to ave a level head. His visit to Canada was I hurried that no person had an op-por- enity to lieve a serious talk with the old man find out . just what is in him. At least b. such interviews have been published. .von in the Lroited Statee, where he made a i4uch longer visit he seems Co have been eery about giving expression to his opin1In- s n public questions. But, it appears, t on one or two occasions he did let him- ' elf ut and the sentiments to which he gave e,.pression will materially- tend to raise him public estimation in civilized countries. en m :New York, the representatives of 'ie various mission boards and societies . eterested in mission work in China, tender - 11 him a reheption. In reply to their ildress thanking him for his aid and pro - 'jaunt in the past, Li Hung Chang s k the hiehest terms and with raidently ersuitie feeling of the good work of Chris - an missionaries in China He ce rnmended eir abstiften.ce from political intiJighe,their elfishness in pecuniary matters,and their `erte in behalf of "the soul, intellect, and THE HURON* EXPOSITOR body" of those they tried to benefit—in- stancing the educational institutions carried on, the hospital and dispensary work, and the opposition to opium smoking, which he pronounced "a great curse to the •Chinese population." Of the difference between Chiistianity and Confucianism, the Viceroy said only : " In a phaosophieal point of view, as far as I have been enabled to ap- preciate, Christianity does not differ much &one Confucianhan, as the Golden Rule is expressed in a positive form in one, while it is expressed in the: negative form in . the other." This, certrinly, is very satisfactory, and if we may judge from his 'statement his influence ;will be, used to help rather than hinder the work of the ehristian missionaries among his people. • On anOther question he expressed equal] sensible views, views Which it might be wet for some of our Canadian and America Statesmen to take into the-ir serious consid eration. Of course, he views the matte from the different end of the telescope fro which we are in the habit of but,eall the same, he is not so In an interview with the rep the New_York papers the q exclusion of Chinese immigra ed. The Viceroy expressed a that the Geary Law might be endeavored to *convince his cheap labor was a most desir itself, because it would allow to compete at better acivan countries of Europe. He said labor means cheaper commodi oking at it, much astray esentatives of estion of the ts was broech- earnest wish epealed,' and hearers that ble thing in the country age with the : ".Cheaper ies, and bet- ter comntodities at lower prides: You are proud of yourselves, of your country. Your States represent the best type of modern civilization. You are proud of your liberty and your freedom ; but is this freedom ? This is not liberty, because' you are pre-. vented from utilizing cheap labor in. your manufactories and. ori your farms." Finally he declared that the iaboring classes in the. United States hate the Chinese because the latter are the -possessors of superior virtues, thrift, economy, temperance. - This is hard on the Yanks-. The Presidential Campaign. Parties in the United States seem to he getting more mixed as time advances. The Sound Money Democrats, as they call them- selves, have brought out a ticket of their, own. They have nominated a candidate for " both the Presidency and the vice -Presi- dency. The object of this move is, of course,to split the Democratic vote and thus prevent the election of Bryan. There are a large number of Democrats Whose po- litical prejudicescwill nOt allow them to [vote for the RepUblican candidates,and who 'do not like Mr. Bryan's money plank in his platform., Itis expected that these will vote for :Palmer a,nd Buckner, the second ticket men. "The ticket," says the New York World, "will at 'mist give an oppor- tunity to vete conscientiously to those- who say as Chairman Griffin said at Saratoga: :" We are Democrat ; but not revolution- ists; we are Democrats, but not protection - 1. eats." It ray give them an opportunity to 'vote conscientiously, but at the same time, every vote given in this way, will simply be a vote lost for the Republican candidate. If Mr. Palmer remains in the field to the elose, there is. no doubt but he will get a good many votes that would otherwise have gone to Bryan. But, to make up for that, Bryan will obtain a by no means insignifie cant Republican vote, ais all the silver men are not in the Deinecratie party by any means. The Silverites, also, are taking consolat;on to themselves out of the • hope that the nomination of the third man will he -fp them; in that it will consolidate their supporters of all parties. One of Bryan's most telling appeals when rallying the mortgaged burdened farmers and the dis- couraged classes generally to the support of free silver is that the "gold bugs," the mil- lionaires and the money classes areuniting against them regardless of party. This, Open attempt to help McKinley by a flank movement on the pert of the "gold ihuggy " Democrats will be pointed- to as proof of this charge. AJew weeks more of the cam paign, however, will show what influence the Palmer movement is likely to have on the campaign. ' There is one thing now very certain, that if the "gold bugs " as they are termed, are not beaten, they will be very badly frightened. 18•1111•=1M•imminummaull Editorial Notes and Comments. The earnings of the Grand Trunk Rail- way for last week were : Passenger train earning, $175,473 ; freight train earnings, $250,019; total $425,492. The' figure's for 1,895 are respectively, $169,756, and $228,- 427. There is a large increase this year. The Globe invites correspondents to saig gest methods of receeping the public break- uries for the $7,000,000 which would Fe annually lost to the Autry were- Prohibi- tion to be enforced. Should a prohibitory law be enforced, there would not be Much ditlieulty in making up the seven million dollars loss in revenue. There, is a much larger sum than that worse than wasted in whisky every year. •11 The Ietelligencer printing and publishing, , cOmpany, of Belleville, have sold their busi- ness to Sir Mackenzie Bowell, who will con.' tinue the publication of the .paper. $o: the old man is returning to his first love. ' Sir Mackenzie was the funder of the• Inteljj- geneer and was is editor and proprietor for many years after .he entered Parlia,ment.. He will, however, -find business cut ver much finer now that it was when he used to wield the goose quill. However, the news- paper fraternity, irrespec ve of party, will welcome•Sir Mackonje b1&k to their ranks. On the eve of the reth'ement of the Tup- pOr Government they recommended the ap-. pointment of a large number Of the members ' or e legal profese`ion as Queen's Counsel. Some were recommended who deserved the. distinction,' bat many did not. It almost seemed as if every pettifogger in the country was to have his name ornamented by the addition of the magical letters, Q.C. Mr. '1' 1 Mowat however has ULiL epee of th.ese budding Q b's. The list carne before him for review as Minister of Justice, and he recommended the cancelling of the whole 1. t, and his recommendation has been ap- proved of by the Government The reasons whieh he assigned for hie recemmendetion were, first, that the power, to °Opfer this honor, whether vested in the Dominion or Provincial authorities, has been in dispu* for some time and it is not advisable to make appointipents of this • kind until the question of authority is definitely settled by the courts ; secondly, that the wholesale and indiscriminate method of appointment proposed, would have a tendency to bring into disrepute and render valueless a dis- tinction which is intended onty to mark merit in the profession and that, therefore, these titles should be awarded more spar- ingly. The old Man is right, as usual. The Opposition in the Dominion Parlia- ment have already held three ca.ucuses dur- ing the present session. The Opposition seem to have more trouble in Opposition than they had when in power. Then a party -caucus wits a comparatively uncommon. thing the entire engineering being left to the leaders of the party. Now, however, the rink and file seem to have a say in rnatters as well as the leaders. If the cold shades of 'Opposition will have a tendency to develop a spirit of independence in the ranks of the party, the defeat of June last will not have been in vain in so far as the welfare of thrisparty is concerned. Hon. Mr. Harty; Minister of Pablin Works in the Ontario Cabinet, has been in very poor health for some time. And on this account it has been stated that he might have to retire from the Gover ment, as he could not louger stand the str in occasioned by the duties of a department. In order to recuperate, he took a trip to the Lower Provinces, and we are pleased to learn that he has returned very. much improved in health and that he will be 'abe Ito . resume his duties at the Parliament headings very shortly. The London Advertiser says " One hundred and seventy patients of the London asylum, men and women, were taken td the Western Fall. groundnunder the care of -Mr. George Angus and were shown through the different departments. They exhibited more joy'than so many children. It was a kind act." Itwas, indeed, a kind act. The Ontario Government is doing a noble work in the care which it gives and the generous provision which it makes for these unfortun- ate people. We. are sure that no person could visit one of these institutions, and witness the eomfortable manner in which they are provided for,and the care bestowed upon them Without feeling prouder of the Province which thus humanely provides 'for those on whom Providence has so heavily laid his afflicting hand, and thankful that the Province is -both able and willing to make this provision. The Toronto Mail remarks with evident alarm : Signs of decay are -already show.: ing themselves in the Government. ' The most alarming of these is failing memory. Several of the Ministers, including the Premier, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of Agriculture, have come to this pitiable pass that they have been obliged to confess that on the subject of -their own pre-election speeches their minds are a blank." Our good contemporary -should not allow itself to become unduly alarmed on this score. It is sometimes a good and most hopeful sign of people when they are able to forget their troubles. A contemporary remarks: "The Do- minion Parliament will have been in session for thirty days, on Friday next. It is evi- dent from the manner in which the Opposi- tion has spent the time of Parliament that its'members do not mean to let the House adjourn for some time yet." This is scincely a fair criticiam. Truth compels us to say that one party cannot cast stones at the other in thisr respect. There seems to he as strong a disposition on the one aide of the House to consume time as on the other While the leaders on both sides seem reall anxious to expedite business, some d thei followers have a penchant for talking,whic is exceedingly expensive to the country There are Government supporters who nee to be gagged as well as followers of the Op position leader. - Li -Hung Chang was given a very war welcome on his arrival at Vancouver, Brit ish Columbia. He was met at the railwa station by many prominent citizens and car riages were in waiting to convey himsel and his party to the steamer. Before de perting.be-s.emmoned Dr. Horsey, who ac- companied him on behalf of • the. Dominion Government, and with due formality, io- vested him with the insignia of the Order of the Double Dragon. The brevet of that order will be forwarded by His August Ma- jesty the Emperor of China. The four To- ronto policemen, also, who carried the old man in his sedan chair through. the crowds on . the exhibition grounds are also to be -made Knights of the Double Dragon and if they care to go to China, they will be able to live without working. The constables are about three -hundred people who have contributed to the viceroy's pleasure while on his torn., and all of these three hundred will be made Knights of the Double Dragon. Perhaps some of thern would. appreciate a ten dollar bill more highly. The Low Price of Wheat Various reasons are assigned for the pre- vailing low prices of wheat. Mr. B. W. Snow,assistantstatistieian of the department of agriculture at Washington, gives an opinion which seems to be the most accurate of any we have seen. He says : There is no necessity for any search for hidden influences responsible for the low prices of wheat. The truth stands out ,olearly. More wheat is grown than can be used. It Must be sold in the world's mar- kets. The world's market for wheat is narrow and -circumscribed, Every nation tries to feed itself and most of them suc- ceed. The market for wheat is almost entirely in Western Europe, Great Britain and Holland, drawing the larger part of their supply from abroad, and France, Germany, Italy, Belgium and a few other smaller countries buying each year a small fraction of their consumption, the amount varying as their crops are good or bad. To supply this limited demand, four countries are in competition as wheat growers, the United States, Russia, India and Argentine, There area few others like Chili, Austria and Canada that furnish a ginall amount. The struggle among the four great producers for the privilege of furnishing cheap bread to European artisans has reduced the price of wheat to the preeentfigure, and until one or more than one of them gives up the con-. test, prices must rule low. Back of this main cause is the further fact that in the past twenty years, the cost of growing and, handling wheat has been much reduced, so that a smaller selling value may represent as great a profit as was secured when prices and cost of production were each higher. 1 The New Registrar. Of Mr. Alesander L. Gilson,. the gentle- man who has recently been appointed Re- geetrar of the -county of Huron, a Goderich cotrespondent of the Globe says: !rho appointment of Mr. Alexander L. Gibson, of Wroxeter, as Registrar a Deeds for Huron is one that will. give general saaisfaction to the people of this county, where he is well and widely known. Mr. Gibson is one of the pioneers of the northern PSFt of the county, having moved into the tonship of Howick, where the village of W sxeter now stands, in 1859, shortly after f the lands were opened for sale by the Crown, and having resided there ever since. He and his brothers developed the water ower on the River Maitland, at that place, y establishing flour, saw, woollen and oat - eel mills. He has long been a conspicuas gure in municipal and public life, and al - hough a very active Liberal, has always en- • yed the respect even of politicalopponents s is shown by his having been elected Dep- t ty Reeve of the strongly Conservative town - hip of Howlett for many years in succes- sion. On the incorporation -of- the village 1. Wroxeter he was elected .Reeve, and lled that position by acclamation until his oluntary retirement. - He satin -the county uncil for fourteen years consecutively, and as regarded as,one of its most sagacious nd valuable members. In his last year he e joyed the honor of being elected Warden o the county by acclamation. He was a terwards appointed one of the 'road a Huron I d bridge commissioners o e unty. Mr. Gibson took a ent part in the railway agitati as at its beiglit in the northern e n portions of, the county in the a d assisted largely in obtaining trict the good railway facilities now possesses. Mr. Gibson is good education, a clear and forci er, and has done yeoman Beryl ry prom.. )fl, which and east - seventies, r the dila which it man of le speak- ef orth e Liberal party in all - the campaigIs in this county during the last thirty-five ears. He possesses all the qualifications of good registrar, and the prevailing feeling isj that from among the numerous good -appl cants the Government could not have made• a better choice. 1111011MINMNII•11M=M1=1 News of- the Week.

INEBRIATE INSTITUTE BURNED. —The in- .• stitute for the treatment of inebriates, at a The (4r at Toronto industrial Fair came Binghampton, New York,was burned to the gs of d in ever - to a close on Friday last. It is needless to say that it was a success. It has always been a suceess, especially' in so far as the crowd is concerned. As an instructor, also it no doubt; has its uses, although in som ,directions the example set the youth of th country is perhaps not the most wholesome Itis, also, a great advertising medium fo the resources and products of the country and above all it is a boom creator for Tor onto.. and the business men of that city reap a rich harvest at the expense of the rest of the province, while the big show lasts. This year the attendance is said to be larger than ever before. The gate receipts amounted to $73,000, being an increase Of $5,000 over last . year. But, notwithstanding the very large gate receipts, the show has never thus far beeu a- financial success:, and it is scarce- ly likely that it has this year either. In- directly it no doubt pays the city a liberal dividend, but directly, the show managers have never yet -been able to make ends meet. -The receipts; of course, are laige but the expenses are large,r. The show would not have the necessary drawing powers, at least so it is held, without the Bo-calledspecial attractions which - are shown in Oront of the grand stand, and these cost money, and a lot (alit. . - the Toronto p pera have already com- menced. to -boom the Industrial as a Domin- ion Exhibition for next year, This is all right enough.. But they also expect some- thing else. The teal object in making ib a Dominion exhibition is - to secure for it a liberal donation from the Dominion and. Provincial treasurier.

It is said that they expect the modest sum of fifty thoeseand dollars from the Dominion strong box tell d half that sum from the Pro- vincial. With these sums and what they can procure in the ordinary' ,ways,,they promise a big splurge. It is very doubtful, however, if either the Dominion or the Pro- vince' would reap benefits commensurate with the.sunis asked. It is equally doubt- ful' if the grants will be made.
