Political SYMPt0120.
The Conservative papers frequent-
ly give currency to the report that
Premier Itoss, e`rowing weary of the
Straggle in Ontario, has intentions
of resigning and joining forces with
Sir Wilfrid Laurier at Ottawa. No
doubt the veiSle Js father to the
thought. With Uri Ross out of. the
Provincial Govermitent, the Tories
weal& Dave an easy road to power
in this Province., The- report, how-
ever, is very erroneous, as any per-
son who knows anything of the. in-
ternal workings of the.parties ha
this Province must know. There is
no doubt but Sir Wilfrid would ex-
tend a very cordial -welcome to Mr.
Ross to join the Dominion Govere-
anent, were such a thing practica-
ble. But it is not. In 'the first
place there is no person in sight in
Ontario to take the present place of
Mr. Ross, and without him the On-
tario Government would go topieces
in a. week. In the second place, Mr.
Ross could hardly be made to:fit in
in the Dominion Cabinet, He is,
probably, one of. the ablest all round
men in Canadian politics to -day ;
• the; Ontario quota in the Dominion
Cabinet needs straightening badly
enough, and Mr. Ross, with his great
tart -ability and versatility would add to
ct its strength -considerably. But Mr.
Ross would not play second fiddle .to
any of the Ontario men who occupy. a
place in the Dominion Cabinet now.
He would have to be leader of the
Ontario contingent. But there are
several others, Sir Wm. Mulock,Hoe.
lames Sutherland and others who
aspire to this position and who would
not tamely 'submit to bemadesec-
ond to a man from the Ontario
legislature, no matter
able he might be. Thus it willbe
seen that Mr. Ross' entry into the
DoMinien cabinet is, prantically-, an
impossibility. Mr.Ross will have to
bide where he is as lone as the fates
and Tories will permit him. Indeed,
the probability .is that he does not
desire anythingi differently. It is
said to be his ambition to pull his
party through their present diffi-
culties in Ontario and establish the,
party once more -firmly in power in
the Queen's Park, Toronto, before he
steps down and out. If this is his
ambition it is, cetainly, a laudible
one, if he can accomplish his object
in an honest and honorable way. But
it will be adutitted by all that he has
a Big contract ahead of him. Whether
or not he will succeed remains to be
!seem At present the fates do not
eeern very propitious. The one en-
, couraging feature he has to cheer
him is, that if his Government is
weak in material, the Government
that would succeed it would be in-
finitely weaker.
Commissions Come High.
The new assessment bill which is
now being consideredby. the Legis-
lature has so far cost the proeinee
about $20,000. Nearly five years
have elapsed since the Royal Com-
missioe was first appointed to con-
sider . and draft a measure to meet
the changed conditions.
The following. are some of the
principal items of expense ineur-
red:
Justice MacMahon .. mem$4,075
Justice Maclennan 1,650
T. IL Macpherson 700
A. 'Pratt 795
D. R. Wilkie 350
K. McKay 4 1,160
M. J. Butler 350
Thos. Langton, secretary of the
commission - 4,500
Thos. Bengough, reporter '750
F. McKelcan, legal services350
Luncheon for commissioners 131
Printing, stationery, etc. 600
These items, together with the
cost of printing the bill this session,
and, the expenses of witnesses be -
for! the- special committee of the
Ffouse, and incidentals, will brimre
the total cost up to $20,000.
Judges and professional men come
high on commissions. It would, per-
haps, be better hereafter to let
such work by the *job. The worst
of it is, that the work supposed to
have been done by the commission
has all had to be done over :again
hy a committee of the Legislature
and the end is not yet. The work
should have ,been done by the Leg-
islature in the first place and it
would be a -good idea to deduct Lhe
salaries of the coramissioners from
the pay of the legislators. If this
rule were adopted there would be
fewer commissions appointed and,
perhaps, more work done in the Leg-
islature.
Editorial Notes and Comments
The members of -Metcalf Loyal Or-
ange Lodge, Toronto, have passed a
vete of censure on the members of
the Legislature who ,also belong to
the Orange Order for their action in
permitting the sturgeon Falls sishool
bill to pass without expressin,g- their
disapproval of such legislation. This
will be hard on Dr. Beattie Nesbit
and Tom Crawford.
Referring to the attack of the
.Toronto World -on certain members
of the Legielature for their irregu-
lar habits, and whieh we reproduced
in part last week, the Toronto Week-
ly Sun says: "Truth compels the
assertion, however, that one of the
most effective speechee of this ses-
sion was made by a member whose
appearance indicated that he was un-
der the influence of liquor which
etiyee-the color to the cup." Appear-
ances ere sometimes deceptive. May
this not. have been the ease in this
instance?
Although the railway taxation bill
of Mr. Pettyrdece, of which we have
heard anti read so much lately, has
been shelved for this session by the
Legislature and practically killed for
ail time, its author has achieved
some trood. He leis succeeded in di:-
recting the atteetion of the coun-
try to an important subject .ind he
has plamel a considerable volume of
valuable information on, roilway tax-
ation before the public. He has, also
by his industry and persistency made
quite a record and reputation for
himself. *It is a pity, however, that
party fealty induced hipa to week -
en in the, end and thus detract very
materially from the reputation he
had built up. And the most pecul-
iar feature of all is that he was him-

Mr. J. M. McEvoy, barrister, of
London, has issued a writ against
R. R. Gamey, M. P. P., for Manitou-
lin, claiming ten thousand dollars
damages for libel. Mr. McEvoy was
the junior consel in the Stratton -
Gamey investigation, and it is claim-
ed that Mr. Gamey stated on a pub-
lic platform during the Muskoka
bye -election that Mr. McEvoy had
cut the missing leaveeeefrom the
Croesin cash book, of which so much
was said at the titne of the invest-
igation. If Mr. McEvoy succeeds in
getting $10,000 from the Manitou-
lin member, he will prove himself a
pretty smart man. About the only
way he can do it will be to garn-
ishee his parliamentary indemnity
and have him re-elected until the
amount is earned.

Wheat Growing in Western
Canada.
Western Canada wheat has an en-
viable reputation in foreign coun-
tries, says Mr. G. Clark, Chief of
the -Seed Division, Ottawa. It is in
demand for Ameriean milling cen-
tres, as well as those of England
and Scotland, because it is rich in
gluten of exceedingly good quality.
The .crop of Western Canada ten
years hence will reach, it is estim-
ated, five hundred millions of bush-
els. In view of the eapidly increas-
ing, production it is important that
its present good reputation be main-
tained or improved in order that it
may continue to grow in favor in
foreign countries, where it must
find a market.
But the high standard of excel-
lence has already been appreciably
lowered through the introduction of
wheat of inferior milling quality.
Through carelessness' these mixtures
are allowed to yearly increase, while
in other districts inferior varieties
have been grown that depreciate the
value of the total crop.
The advantage of growing onl
unmixed wheel may be judge fro
the difference in price between N
1 hard and the next two grades, a
this difference is most commonl
due to the prevalence of soft,starch
grains in the lower grades. No.1 har
invariably has a high percentage o
translucent grains indicating a big
percentage of a good quality o
,gluten, as it is the quality quite a
much as the quantity- of the glute
that lends value to the superio
wheat.
Red Fife' is the standard varlet
and tbe hardiest wheat grown i
Western Canada. It will eurviv
late spring frosts that are suffici
ently severe, to kill out most othe
varieties. Its milling qualities ar
not excelled.
Preston wheat is a bearded' var
iety that has -grown,in favor amen
farmers in districts 'where Red Fif
has frequently been injured by earl
frost. It is from two to five day
earlier than the Red. Fife. If th
weather be unfavorable at the tim
when ripening takes place it ma
ripen even ten days earlier than th
latter variety. Some Canadian mill
ers claim to have made careful mill
ing tests of Preston wheat and 'op
enly condemn it as much inferior t
the Red Fife. Results of te,sts car
ried on under the direction of Dr
Saunders, who originated the var-
iety, indicate that it is only slightly
inferior to the Red Fife.
The comparative productiveness of
varieties differs with localities and
conditions of soil and climate. Again
there may be quite as much differ-
ence between two strains of seed of
the same variety as between two
distinct sorts, so fax as their cap-
acity to give a 'yield of grain is
concerned.; Whatever varieties are
selected, they should be -grown sep-
arately ind each kept reasonably
pure. On account of careless prac-
tices, in the matter of seed selection,
-mixtures of undesirable- eorts have
increased in the standard wheat of
the west. These impurities consist
thiefly of earlier maturing varieties
thateshell more readily than the Red
Fife, thus having a larger propor-
tion of seed froiii them to come as
"
volunteer wheat " in the next
succeeding,- crop.

It is of much importance to the
country as well as to the individual
wheat growers, that these conditions
be overcome. It is clear that even
farmer* who are careless about keep -
in; their seed pure are willing to pay
fancy prices for ten twenty or
fifty bushel lets of good pure seed
of wheat, oats, and barley. But the
supply of high class seed is limited.
Although the demand fora is great,
but little effort has been made by
farmers to meet the demand. Ap-
peals have been made to the Domin-
ion Department of Agriculture, to
,establish farms at various points for
the purpose of growing pure seed of
wheat and other cereals, for distri-
bution to farmers at the cost of pro-
duction. That would entail a large
expense, and would be undertaking
work that farmers arequite able to
do themselves. The Department of
Agriculture is willing to grant; such
assistance as may be necessary eo
eneourage private enterprise in an
endeavor to cope with the situation.
In matters of this kind the best re-
sults are obtained- from
,
ecl
effort.

With a view to further encour-

use Of seed of the best- quality, an
announcement. wns made in the
spring of 1893, inviting farmers,
who had been giving some speci-
al attention to the growing of seed .
grain, to unite and form an assoc-
iation of seed growers. Rules gov-
erning the association and stand-
ards of perfection for pedigreed seed
will be controlled by an advisory
boa rd composed of represen fa five
men from the various branch aa-
sociations. There are now thirty' -five

Marys pioneer business men has re-
tired from active life and will go to
Brampton -where he will. make his
home with his daughter, Mrs. Clark, •
wife of Rev. W. C. Clark.- Mr.
Thompson came to St. Marys in 1859
and opened a general store which
some years later he sold out to the
late Alexander Beattie. He was
market clerk in St. Marys for many
years and on retiring from thal po-
sition he opened a produce store,
dealing in eggs, butter, poultry and
hides. He has occupied the same
store for 31 years.
-The Stratford Betecon of last
week says: Messrs. Wm. and John
McDonald, grandsons of the late Ron-
ald McNeil, made a record walk on
Monday to attend their grandfather's
funeral which took place on Tues-
day. They were working on the rail-
road about two miles south of Lis-
towel when they were informed of
Mr. McNeil's death. It was impossi-
ble for them to get here by train, as
the line was blocked, so they footed
it along the track, leaving there at
3 o'clock in the afternoon and ar-
riving in Stratford at 10 o'clock that
night. The distance is about 30 miles
and considering thefact that the
tracks were badlY drifted, it was
certainly a very geed record.

The Age of man and of the
World.
Dear Expositor, -Referring to the,
short letter which appeared eecent
ly in your columns, from the pen o
a Seaforth correspondent on the, a
bove subject, let me say that whil
the writer asserts that the Scrip
tures olene must • be our guide in
these matters; yet he does not -stick
to the Seriptures and simply de-
stroyes the superstructure he tries to
erect by begging the question, or in
other words, assuming the point in
diepute without proof. He divides
the age of; man beautifully into three,
periods Of 2,000 years each, "Two
thousand years from the creed:hen to
the flood; two thousand more from
that to the birth of Christ; two
thousand more from that to the end
of the world." I would ask yp_ur cor-
respondent, who is evidently such a
stickler for his Bible and who brush-
es aside the "fossil professors" so
contempteously as being " puffed
up," where, he gets Bible authority
or any other authority in proof for
his third period of 2,000 years, name-
ly from the birth of Christ till the
end of the world? Christ told his
desciples, who were evidently look-
ing for.. an immediate dissolution and
-eonsurnation of all things, that the
end "is not bye and byes" meaning
the end was still in the distant fu -
here and efter• more than 1,900 years
have elaps-el. the consensus of .opin
ionto -day- would be that it .is still in
the distant future. Christ. told his
disciples too in the most emphatic
words that no man would know the
time of the end, no, not even the
white robed angels of light hhat sur-
round the throne. Your correspond-
ent is evidently a man who loves
symmetry and a beautiful arrange-
ment and being, moreover, a little
superstitions, he naturally irnagines
that God Will, nay must, close . the
human meriod at the end of two
thousand-, years' from the birth of
Christ, in eider to harmonize. the ar-
rangement. But his fault is not that
he imagines or speculates, it is that
he states aa a Scriptural fact what
he only imagines. This is begging
the question, as I have beforesaid,
at least so far as Scriptural proof
is concerned, and he assumes to be
guided only by the Scriptures.
From his reference to the " fossil
professors" and their theories in
regard to the age of the earth, I
would infer that he was a. firm be-
liever in the "six natural days"
creation period,- a belief that, in the
light of modern science, is unworthy
of serious consideration.
I will leave two, facts with your
correspondent that are so self evi-
dent as not to require proof, name-
ly: 1 -The Bible was never written
to teach science or to override the
facts and deductions of true science,
but to outline the plan and purpose
of God in relation to fallen men.
2 -The book of. Nature is God's book
just as the Bible is and in it he has
written the history of- the earth's
making as well as of mares making
in imperishabie characters, even the
Christian world. I will conclude by
saying the !world owes a debt of
gratitude to the very class of men
whom your correspondent affects to
despise, yea ! even to the sceptical
searcher after truth for the, valu-
able facts-- -which ;they have. so lab-,
orisly collected and the deductions!
they have made therefrom. Ti is'
