News -Record 1.6Q a year -81.26 la Advance Wednesday. May 20th. 1591, AYE, THERE'S THE RUB We have several times referred to the impracticability of the Grit Suggestion to the American Congress to do away with the bonding privileges which pertnit dutiable goods to be carried through the one country to the other, and Lo out the connection of the Canadian Pacific at the "Soo" and other paints. A few weeks ago the Uuited States Situate Committee on trade relations with Canada declared that "Canadian railroads are necessary to the eastern and western states." And now comes, the Philadelphia Record, a highly valued commercial authority, and says :- "The main difficulty which fades the United States Government with regard to the proposal to prohibit shipmeut in bond through Canada would be equivalent to decreeing a commercial separation between the north eastern and north-western States. It would make them from 150 to 500 miles further apart by rail by depriving them of the advantage of the Canadian short cut. There mig.,tfollow upon such action some serious political consequences. Pro- bably there's the rub." The./ do the treasonable sugges- tionsof Globe EditorFarrar,Charlton, Cartwright to squeeze Caned t. into annexatioli fail to commend them - Helves to the people of the United States, as they certainly are not approved by the people of Can •ad a. The Americana want our fishing -bait and'wiII not put a diacriminat- •iugly large tonnage tax on Canadian vessels laden with fish, because they would he shut out from getting bait and thus mar a profitable branch of their industry. They will not cut the connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway which by i+s competition keeps down excessive freight charges from the western and northwestern states and thus puts thousands of dollars annually into the pockete of the farmers of those sections. They will not suspend the bond- ing privileges eujoyed by all C,ina• dian 1•aiiways as well as by their owu branches paining through Canada, because this would entail commercial separation between the north eastern and aouth•weetern states, by depriving them of a rail- way communication from 150 to 500 shorter than by any route through their own territory. MORE JOURNALISTIC DIS- HONESTY. Our delightfully unreliable town contemporary will not take the used precautions which a careful editor or publielrer should take either in matters that are alleged to come within its own personal know- ledge or in those that are furnished it. It endorses its Grit contempor- ary of London which says that "electiun deposits are paid out of a huge government -accumulated fund." Our totem adds : "A case in point is the protest in West Huron. Local Conservatives expressed theirdisapproval of it at the time it was entered, and stated their belief that not a cent of the deposit WPB raised in the Riding.'' Now this is another of our totem's nntrutha. Looal Conserva- tives are agreed upon the necessity for tie protest. They are agreed that it is not only a party duty but a duty every honest Conservative uwes to his country. We do not know of thein, but there may be those who call them- selves Conservative), and who approve of the political principles of Mr. Cameron, and the means adopted by his friends in order to elect hitt, but they are not Con- sery at.iyrs.

The rimericans "tax" Canadian eggs going into their country 5 cents. Our Government admits American eggs into Canada free. Who are the restr•icti'nists? The great bulk of the legislation passed by the Ontario Aseetnbly at its recent session was the passing of private bills having only local in• terest. Just so. The bulk of the work done in Torouto could be bet• ter done, and more cheaply, by county councils. The Ontario As- sembly ala law enacting body for purely municipal and local affairs should "go." Prof Goldwin Smith addressed a Toronto meeting the other even- ing and laboriously endeavored to prove that a bad aristocrat was a bad man. A bad man be he never so democratic is a bad man. A bad man though a Liberal is a bad roan nevertheless. Sir Chas Dilke a leading M. P. of England had to re- tire from public life for acandalouely immoral conduct. Captain Vernet another Liberal M. P. was expelled from Parliament a few day ago, after being sentenced by a law court to one year imprisonment for immoral practices And another Liberal M. P., a prominent Liberal and professor of history is charged with attempting to commit rape. The Lindsay Warder says that in that town in April 1880 eggs were from 8 to 9 cents ; in April 1891 they were worth from 14c. to 15 cents. Then the farmers of Michi- gan are grumbling because they are getting only 9 cents, yet they were told the McKinley duty would make them worth 5 cents more to them than they would he worth to the Cana- dian farme-. Unfair comparisons are made in this and in many other ways. No matter what the price of farm produce is in New York or any other city, the price that the farmer is interested in is the price he geld.. It is an undoubted fact that the Canadian farmer gets all round better prices for his produce than does the American farmer, though, through trade combines and gambling, fictitiously high prices may be quoted in American cities, One of those "scandals" which ever and anon is boosted by the Opposition to tickle the palates of the sensation loving public came up in parliament the other day and was referred to the committee on elections and privileges. It is call - the "McGreevy scandal." It is charged that McGreevy a member of Parliament used information surreptiously obtained from the Department of Public Works to enablea firm of contractors to swindle the Gov,rrnrnent out of large sums of money. The chaege dose not allege auy guilty knowledge on the part of the Minister of Public Works. He denies any knowledge whatever of the alleged -wxong do- ing. Yet the Grit press have already convicted him. One could expect no fairer play from a traitor source.

Mr. McCarthy, In rising to hove for leave to introduce his bill to amend the North-west Territories act, said : This bill needs but little explanation -at least one portion of it needs but little explanation. One remembers the long discussion which took place with reference to this subject during the last session of last parliament. 1 would only say that the object I have in view is to repeal the law in reference to the dual language in the NorthwestTerritories act. 1 do so because I am convinced that the power or the direction in the Northwest Territories act that there should be two official languages in that country is calculated to per- petuate race distinctions, which it ought to be, and I hope is, the object of this house to do away with. l be- lieve that I was able to show, how- ever much some honorable gentle. men thought the measure was a harsh one, that at all events it was in the right direction as far as the North-- west orthwest Territories are concerned. It is well t0 1'eniember, of coarse, that this bill merely deals with the North- west 'territories, and that the right to the dual languag.-s is one based Oil the provisions of the British Nortl, America act, and is to be found in that enactment alone. It is not a right which was conferred upon our 1''rench•Canadian fellow - subjects at the time of the cession of the Province ot Quebec -the old province of Canaria -to the British crown. It is not to be found earlier than the date of the British North America act, and there 1t is limited, as we all know, to the proceedings,in this house and in the senate and the legislative proceedings of Quebec. No person who hasgiven any atten- tion to this subject hut must be con- vinced that the perpetuation of these race distinctions is not in the public interest, and I see no reason, and anyone who has thoroughly con. sidered the subject at all must also be convinced, that, nothing is more calculated to prevent a common nationality in this Dominion than the right to speak, or the encourage- ment rather, of an additioual langu- age in theFrench tongue. Of course, 1 do not desire to interfere with the privileges which every one has to speak the language or the tongue that seems to be right, but I tlo de- sire to prevent anything which will foster race distinction in our North west Territories without warrant and, as I believe, without public object or benefit. It proposes to deal with the school question. The genius of our conetitution, as provided by the British North America act, is that the subject of education belongs exclusively to the provinces. It is a matter of local concern that ought to be dealt with by each province. It is quite true that owing to diffi- culties in the old province of Upper Canada there are certain restrictions or limitations in regard to school matters imposed upon the provinces of the Dominion, and I• know of no good reason why in the Northwest they should -be restricted in the matter of education. As the law stands to -day separate sejrools are made imperative. Wherever there are two religious communities there is the right to separate schools. I pro- pose not to interfere with that. Mr. Desjardins-You are very kind. -Mr. McCarthy -But simply to give to the people of the Northwest the privilege of dealing with the question of legislation in this relation as to them seems fit. My bill is not too objectionable in other respects, as it was last year, because I admit that to some of my friends it was a stumbling block. I have found that honorable gentlemen who ara quita willing to adopt the enacting part of the bill hesitated somewhat over the terms of the preamble. 'l'hat pream- ble was unnecessary for the purposes of the enacting clause, and as 1 have no desire to increase the difficulties, already great, that I have before me, in order to repeat this particular clause I have left out the preamble in this short bill. Mr. Speaker -Shall the honorable gentleman have leave to introduce his bill ? Mr. Choquette -No. The bill was read a first time. (.1L71RENT TOPICS. THE GRIT PURITY STONEY.

The toddy blossom on the twee Ilan been for years an efllictiou to the amateur inebriate. Usually he is interested as to the philosophy of the symptom. It is very simple. The skin that covers the nose 18 very full of little blood vessels, highly vascular, a8 we say. . Alcohol weakens the nerves, which control the circulation of the blood. Thus au accumulation of blood at the end of the nasal organ closes up the mouth of one of the little sweat glands which are found all over the body. So the perspiration fails to escape from the pore thatis ordineri- ly open ; it forms a (lot, and nature seeks to remove the clot by i'h• flatnteatij11. That snakes a toddy 11101180111.

This is the final stage. THEY WILL NOT RESIGN. The Montreal Witness trembling- ly sake : "Will the government resign 1" No, darling it will not. Sir John Macdonald and the other bold, bad men who now administer the public affair's of of the Domin- ion will continue to hold on their offices notwithstanding the lament- able feet that they have lost the confidence of the Witness. It is sad that it should be s0 ; but it is so. But it was ever thus. The brute majority tramples upon the convictions of the party of great moral 11110A11; and its leaders point to the paltry fact that a majority of the people's representatives have continence in thein, as evidence that they ought to retnain in office. It is sad to think that such things can he in this last decade of the nine- teenth century, when enlightenment is spreading and education flourishes. But we believe that for the present the government will not resign. - Hamilton Spectator. EPIGRAMMATIC TELEGRAMS.

A DISSATISFIED REFORM PAPER.' The following from the British, Whig, the local Reform organ, will be read with interest : "Yesterday the account of Kingston Reform Association for printing and ad vertis ing fur Alex. M.

Many weeks since all the election avcounte were paid save this one, and repeated promises to meet it were broken.

Mr. Wsggouer, being also a prac. tical farmer owning ail extensive dairy and 'stock farm near King- ston, Ont., is peculiarly qualified to speak by authority. Fl states that there never was a finer prospect for the industrious, thrifty iunni• grants than the Prince Albert eouutry offers at present. The reoeut completion of the railway from the C. P. It, main line at Regina to the town of Prince Albert, a distance of 260 miles,and the pros pect of another important feeder to Cenadlan Pacific Railway being started immediately has increased con tideuce in settlement thereabouts, els there will be no longer the grievance of raising grain and stoat, etc., and then inability to get them to market. Prince Albert has risen within a%.uut six years fl oma hamlet to a town of 1,500 with an im- mediate surrouudiug district of 8,000 inhabitants, the town hav- ing a college and educational facili, ties equal to anything in the Province of Quebec. The average product of wheat last year and the year previous was 35 bushel's to the acre. As for esculents, every species produces a good y field, that of potatoes averaging, to his know- ledge, 650 to 700 bushels to the acre last year ; and a Dr. limo, s friend of hie, actually produced on a one acre patch of ground he had especially cultivated, 900 bushels. Referring to cattle, he mays too much attention cannot be giveu to the raising of stock, in the future, and Prince Albert is deetiued to take the lead in that respect, the. reasons being many, but chiefly, perhaps, through' the tine climate and the very cheap means of fatten- ing and raising. No fodder need be bought. The wild grass, rich, luxuriant and growing in abundance, is sufliaient in summer for the annuals turned out upon it, while the gathering in of it in ample quantity fol• the winter needs of stock is only a question of ordinary industry and care. "It is quite astonishing," he remarked, "the +size that young cattle grow to the first year, fed on the nutritious wild meadow." -Montreal Witness. DETROIT CATTLE MARKET. May 16, 1891.
