4NOTIIER BRITISH DOMIN-
ION.
In the face of
would disintegrate
empire comes cheering news from
the Australian colonies of solid
advance being made in the -con-
federation of the several provinces
composing that part of the empire.
This once completed we can hope -
`fully look forward to a graud
imperial federation of the scions of
that power, the only power that
has colonies that encircle the earth,
with the mother country.
What country in the world can
look back upon the nohievementa
of the past with more justifiable
"ride than Britain 4 None. Whet
people can look forward, judging
by the past and properly estimating
the present, with more confidence
to a glorious, honorable and happy
future than those called British
colonistal None.
Compare the British civilization
and British law and order with
that of auy other country in the
world end our is as much more
beneficent than'any of them as the
strong but kindly rays of the sun in
June is morn beneficent than the
,harsh, bleak, killing frosts of au
April night.
Even our English speaking
neighbors to the month of us have
to acknowledge the great defects
which arise out of a heterogeneous
population whose prejudices are
kept alive by the glorious political
demagoguism which is the natural
incidence of institutions whose
make up has not broadened down
from precedent to precedent. The
a recent massacre of eleven Italians
in .the New Orleans jail by a mob
of the "most intelligent men in
America," as ono paper dubs the
murderers, is but one of the many
instances where American re-
publicanism in God's country has
shown itself to be the foster mother
of lawlessness and murder.
\Vo have men in the Canadian
Dominion to -day, as they have men
in the proposed Australian Domin-
ion, who will not be carried away
by the magic of the name republic-
ism, but. who will stand by the old
flag and the old British policy of
equal rights to all and loyalty to
the proud mother of Christian
progress with all the liberty and
justice the terra implies. We clip
the following excellent resume
anent Australian Confederation
from the Empire :—
At the conference for preliminary dila
allusion held last year at Melbourne, Sir
Henry Parkes, who is assuredly the
"Grand Old Man" of Australia, after re-
ferring to the question of loyalty which
had been brought up and which he con-
sidered altncst Pupprfl4oue where all
were loyal, quoted the words of a re-
ligious poet
Prayer is the suul'e sincere desire,
Uttered or uuexpreeeed.
The motion of s hidden fire
That tre•nbles in the beast.
and proceeded to say : "iiy whole being
"trembles with an unuttered graver of
"that kind, that the whole of tee Brit -
"bah posseeeions may remain forever,
"forming p tits of one beneficent Empire.
"1 can see no permanent of staclea to
`'such a grand consummation ; I believe
"there cen be nn higher destiny."
The setae sentiment was expressed at
the great benc}uet given the other tray in
Sydney, at which 900 peraons were
present, when Sir Henry conoluded an
eloquent epaech by eat ing : 'Australia
"does not seek I.eparotiou, but Berke to
"retnein side by side with Great Britain
"and to share her 'it (Emil tier, houore and
"glories,"
At the eonferenue already referred to
the exprs•esioos of feeling were equally
emphatic, and we find many utteraucee
similar to thele of Dr, Pleybard,
Premier of Sluth Australia, who raid:
"Whatever happens, I intend to remain
"loyal to the Mother Country, and so
"dace the colony I represent. Although
"we may claim greet powers of self•
"government, 1 maintain we should
"make it thoroughly and distinctly
"known that se far as we are concerned
'ewe are loyal to Great Britain.
'Sir John Hall, of New Zealand, re-
echoed these sentiments in equally
patriotic tone., anti elated that "we are
"attached by the fondest flee of affection
"to the Old Country, but we are also
"attached by something more p eerie -
"omit and durable ; that 1•, by a cone
"viction that our connection with the
"Old Lend will best serve our material
"interests and bo the beet safeguard of
'•our liberties."
The whole querti n may be Bummed
up, as regards external power° and
future national development, by the
noble words of Hon. James Munro,
iugretea who
the British
.1'tetnier r'f Viotoriu, et the beetret
Itlreatty rneutienod, when he said ;
"I'ttey woos entering voluntarily alien
the matter, and its settlement would
rano 8.uatralla, son an integral pert of the
British Empire, to a potties' be had
not hitherto ouuupied. She meet trim a
powerful d.trniuteu; not one to injure
the various colaniea, but one to ettength•
en and support them Australaeia
ahoutd form a dominion un the line of
tho British oonstituti'ru, so that the
various portions of the Empire might be
united together ; as i wheu Canada,
British North America, South Africa
and India wore all united, they would
make one maguificeot uoofederated
empire, and Lego ne the bulwark of
peace, progress and civilization."
The solution of the great gnoetions in-
volved wilt be of material interest to
Canada, not only le the sentimental
senae of our being fellow -citizens o' a
common empire, but in the oousideratren
of a future development of commerce
and trade by meaus of preferential
duties, inereaeed cable oammunioatioo,
and steamship linea between thee° two
great British Do:niuioos now preparing
to &hake herds ac•oas the Paoifio ocean
which they may one day transform into
a British lake "
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Grio has become epidemic- in
Canada. The Tories have got
the grip—on the confidence' of a
largo majority of the people of the
country,.
The Mitchell Recorder gets up on
its hind legs and brays out : "Three
weeks appears to be the period in
which an unseated and seatless Min-
ister becomes an outrage." And yet
its friend, Hon. J. M. Gibaon, was
some thirty weeks seatless.
"Hon." Erastus Wiman, of New
York, godfather to Blue Ruin Dick's
commercial union and political an-
nexation fad, was in Toronto last
week. IIe has toned down consid-
erably since the elections and was
led around, without a ring in his
nose, by Grit organizer Preston.
It is better for any party, at any
time, to be defeated by its enemies,
than degraded by its friends, says a
modern philosopher. The annexa-
tion party in Canada is in a bad fix.
It was beaten at the polls by its op-
ponents, and degraded by its
friends offering, Judas-like,to betray
the country for a few pieces• of
silver which they would never
have got.
•
The better claire of American
papers eeetn to be getting their eyes
open, into which Cartwright at d
Ferrer had thrown much dust.
They now acknowledge "that the
charge that Sir John A. Macdonald
and his Governtnent entertain un—
friendly feelings toward the United
States seems to be not only entirely
devoid of foundation, but is the
very reverse of truth."
A pointer for Waters, the
women's suffragist in the Ontario
Legislature :—A woman's cham-
pion in the Kansas legislature, who
calla himsels 'Duncan of Pumpkin,'
thus delivered himself :—"I am a
dude, and I part sty hair in the
twiddle, I favor taking women from
the ranks of the idiots and imbeciles
and allowing them to occupy the
sante rank as the gentlemen from
Africa "
The most important fact Provin-
cial Treasurer Harcourt developed
iu his financial statement in the
Assembly was that during the year
1890 the total receipts were$3,423,-
154.99, and the total expenditure
$3,896,32.4.38, showing expenditure
in excess of receipts amounting to
$473,169.39. In other words the
province ran into debt last year to
the extent of nearly half a million
dollars.
Mr. Mowat's Provincial Treasurer
collected license money last year to
the mount of $680,000. Out of
this the municipalitiee received back
$297,000. That is the municipali-
-'ties paid a direct tax to the Local
Government, were robbed out of
$383,000 which should have gone
to them and thus materially roducei
municipal taxation. And yet with
all this robbery they are nearly half
a million dollars short of making
revenue meet expenses. And this
is what the Grits call tax reform 1
be .ft gra0V1.11. attt on the part of Sir
John to do 'Ito, 48 the S•R. stays,,
"Sir John and.Edwar4 Mak are
two of the brainiest men on the
continent." The only drawback
would Ne that it might take Sir
John and his other colleagues all
their time to explain Mr. Blake's
explanations.
Why not 1 The Woodstock Belt'

Hou. Edward Blake to act as one of

posed reciprocity commissiou to the

The Grits and flat the
recent election endeavored to gull,
and to some extent succeeded in
gulling, the people that their policy
would secure for the people of
Canada a market of 65,000,000.
Instead of this their policy meant
the securing of the 5,000,000 market
of Canada for the 65,000,000 and
the closing to a great extent the
markets of hundreds of trillions in
Britain and other parts of the
world.
Among other good or bad things
the Amerinans inherited from the
mother country is the perpetuation
of the circumlocution office. The
case of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce can
fully have its equal in the linked lit-
igation long drawn out in the French
spoliation claims. A recent Allier.
lean paper hes the following :—
The American government 'has just
paid some long standing liabilities,
known as the French spoliation
claims. These refer to an agree-
ment between France and this coun
try, made in 1800, by which the
latter assumed payment of claims of
her own citizens for dareges incur -
rod by seizures of merchaut vessels
at the hands of the French cruisers.
The claims are paid to the heirs of
those who lost property.

The sum of $21,600, which was
distributed in the California Legis-
lature for twenty three votes toward
the election of a United States Sen-
ator, more than whispers that six-
teen gentlemen got the full figure
of $1,000 apiece; making $16,000,
while seven were fobbed off with
only $S00,making $5,600 ; together,
$21,600. In Nevada it has hap-
pened that a legislator dared not
return to his constituents who let
his vote go at $400 below the mar-
ket. The constituents felt that hi)oa
conduct had put an affront on them.
Such sonsitivenese and delicacy of
feeling may well 'put to the blush
many Grit Canadian politicians and
constituencies that have sold them-
selves for cheap promises that can-
not he realized now that Sir John
and his Government have boon
again endorsed at the polls.
American papers say that the
object of American cattle dealers
buying Canadian cattle when they
could buy so much cheaper across
the lines is to afford relief to Ameri-
can cattle growers, by opeuing up
markets abroad, and according to
the statements of one of the largest
dealers in Chicago, success has
already been attained, while a touch
greater widening of the foreign out-
let is now close at hand. The
Canadian purchases it appears, are
simply in the nature of preliminary
tactics to secure the unrestricted
entry of American cattle into Great
Britain. Canadian cattle are un-
fettered by British enactments, and
the Americans who have just bought
tome immense Canadian herds pro•
pose to utilise the Canadian ani-
mals to familiarise the people of
England, Scotland and Wales with
beef from this side of the Atlantic.
This Canadian venture is certain to
result in a loes to the Americans in
tei•ested, but they confidently count
on recouping themselves when
under the plans laid down by
Secretary Rusk the American beeves
are freely introduced and slaughter-
ed at will throughout Great Britain.
At present American live stock can
only be landed or killed at three
pot•te,and that, too, under harraesing
restrictions, These Canadian cattle
will be sold as American and as
investigation will show they are
free from disease the Americans will
triumphantlyexclaim that all Ameri-
can cattle are equally free, and
then demand the removal of the
restrictions on thoir diseased cattle.

On Monday, April 6, the Dominion
census officers will begin their work.
Householders and heads of families
will have a good deal to answer ; the
questions will be as searching and•
cotnpr'ellensive as those put to a
witness under Dross -examination.
There are eight schedules of informa-
tion to be gleaned, and about 160
questions in all will be asked. It
will take fully half an hour to catechize
each householder. 'There are®no
offensive questions, however, and it
is not likely that enumerators will
experience much difficulty in getting
the information which they will
seek.
Following is the general character
of the questions to be put: Schedule
1—A description of the residence ;
the names, sex and ages of the occu-
pants of the house; their relation to
the head of the family ; place of their
own birth and of the parents' birth ;
religion ; ptofession, occupation or
trade ; whether employer or wage-
earner ; if wage-earner,'the name of
employer; whether unemployed a
week preceding the census ; if em-
ployer, the average number of hands
employed during the year ; ability
to read or write; whether deaf and
dumb, or of unsound mind. Schedule
calls for the names of those who
died during the preceding year, with
other information concerning them;
also facts and statistics regarding
public institutions. Sohednle 3, in-.
formation about real estate, 'orchard
products, nurseries, vineyards and
market gardens. Schedule 4, re-
turns of farm products. Schedule 5,
live stock, animal products, home.
made fabrics, ore. Scheduld,6, in-
dustrial establishments. Schedule 7,
products of the forest. Schedule 8,
shipping and mining. Questions
relating to all these varied interests
wi,ll-'Ift1Yb 15 be asked and answered.
