An accepted authority defines politica as : "The .science of gov ernment ; that part of ethics which consists iu the regulatiou and gov- ernment of a nation or state, for the preservation of its safety, peace and prosperity ; comprehending the de- fence of it4 existence and rights against foreign control or conTuest, the augmentation of its strength and resources, and 'the prutectiou of its citizens iu thei r rights, with the preservation and improvement of their morals." Taking this as a pro- per definition, which we unhesitat- ingly do, We have but one party in Canada that is in politics—the Liberal -Conservative party, The Opposition "is not in it." Those who lead the Opposition aim at , e- stroying the existence of Caw da as a nation—a nation forming a glori- ous part of the greatest Empire the world .has ever knowu. The Op, NIseaition . is trot. in politics because its leaders aim.todestroy its peace and prosperity. The Opposition is not in politics because its leaders oppose the augmentation of its strength .and resources by decrying and belittling them at home and abroad. The Opposition is not in polities because its leaders hesitate not to ;resort to undue, unlawful and illegal means to destroy the liberty, and right of citizens to vote for legislators as they please. The Opposition leaders are not in politics beeauye they oppose, thwart and obstruct the will of the majority of the people as represented in Parlia- ment, and endeavor to frustrate_ legisl'a'tion, by dist majority, feuding to the defence of the existence of this country as a nation and to the defence of its rights against foreign control or conquest. Whether that defence be directed against ineidi- ous proposi'tious of commercial union, continental union or unre- stricted reciprocity ; or whether that legislation be directed towards the encouragement of our militia, and volunteers whose services have times proved successful the' combined strength of our powerful neighbors, or against fenian 111arandere, or against inter- nal traitors.e No, the pi•oseut Cana- dian Parliamentary Opposition isnot in politics. The leaders represent only a faction which is outside of politics as much as Italian cut throat banditti are outside the pale of legi- timate troops.

The election in Etat York last week caused, by the death of the late IIon. Alex. McKenzie, resulted iu the election of W. F. McLean, the Conservative candidate by about 250 majority. i This is a surprising inejority in view of the fact that his opponent Mr. Leslie took' very nearly the same ground as Mr. Mc Lean, in order to catch votes. several againPt A Grit seeker for information wants to know why it is that his party endures rho alleged gerry mender by the Couservativos. He answers his own question by saying that it must be by their being "mere colonial elepeudeuts .and have de- teriorated more thau they know." It is ,possible that the Grits have deteriorated more then Choy know, not beoause Cauadiaus are mere ()dunk' dependents, for in no country iu the world, Imperial Bri- tain not excepted, have the people greater or more independent con trul in the management of their own alf.tirs than in this •Canada of ours.

FROM THE FAR WEST. same as is drills from Canada, The drills are B .tteriek all prose drills from 8 to 10 feet wide with from 14 to 20 spouts, the shoe is steel, the shape of a sleigh runner abont four inches wide and inch thick, sharper at the bottom and V. -shaped, sharp at the point and split at tho heel where the grain drops down in the cut, which is followed by ,a wheel over every spout which presses the shoe down iu the ground and the wheel on thregrain after it is sowed. The'press is put on with a lever which governs the spring, as it requires; according to the soil. With some the press is all on the shoe and no wheels but round .links of chain that drag after the shoe and cover the grain, It is much better to sow with a drill than a drill than a seeder as it puts the grain indeep- er and ripens quicker when sown with a press drill than by any other method. Sotne sow the wheat on the stubble and plough it in and claim they get a good crop. The disk harrow is used here as in Can- ada. The idea of ,'arming het -e is to keep the ground as rough as possible not to get it fine as in Canada, as the high winds blow it all away if it is fine. The ground blows in drifts like snow here some times it it is a dry season and exposed to the winds. Ilarrowing is only done here to make the ground firm, as the wheat is apt to lodge if not harrowed. It is al- ways harrowed before the drill and never after. Some never harrow at all, but it is considered advisable to harrow, once, never more. The ground never gets hard here, always loose. A roller is a rare thing here as the ground blows worse when it is used. The rollers are made with striped .. .: r3° -LP :a altars eo as -to makwr�ic ges to prevent blowing, but they are seldom used. The bin- ders are the same as it Canada. We have the IticCormac, Deering, Woods and others. Probably it would not be out of place to give a few prices of necessaries used here.

Larrnwai•re, Edinburgh, Walsh Co., Dakota. TO A. M. Toppi Dime SIR AND Fivallo.—I hope you will allow me a small space in your paper for the benefit of my many friends and ac- quamtances in Canada, who asked ine if 1 would"tvrite to them and tell them hove I liked the great North West, and what the propects looked like for the coming; season. I like the prairie life well, although people live at. quite a distance from each other as a rule, owing to one wan owning so much land. No farmer owns less than 160 acres and as high as thousands, but generally about from 163 to 480 acres is the general run. So you can easily imagine neighbors will be at quite a distauce. We live 2 Miles from Edinburgh and you can see St. Thomas, which is 25 or 80 miles distance, and several other towns and villages. Buildings. es a rule are log. Some th ey have them sided with pine sed pointed. Stables of log and sod roof. With regard to the spring season, it has been very backward and very wet which has delayed farmers terribly. From the 15th to the 25th of April we had elegant seeding weather and statistics, produced in the House by a good growth commencing. Since Messrs Fairbairn and Henderson, M. Ps., giving the prices of binder twine in the States and in Canada. According to thom,the ruling prices of the last five years were its follows : IN Trim c tTeD STATES.

That there are disloyal men ,among Catholics goes without saying ; that there are dioloyal men among Protestants is equally appar- ent. The latter condemn themselves out of their own mouth as the most wicked, because they say their reli- gion teaches to "fear God and honor the King", while they allege, though wrongly, that the religion of the former teaches to fear God and obey the clergy instead of the otvil rulers in secular matters. then alias been cold and reining or snowing nearly every other day. On the 27th of April we had a snow storm or a small blizzard ; wind very high and severe frost at night. We had frost nearly every night since. and there is no growth yet. Today, the 5th of May, it has snowed heavy all day, probably _five in.chea,,_.ssery_ Cvo't; ri little corder tonight, will be no work done for two days or pei' haps more. Some of the farmers are saying they will have to drill day and night. Old settlers say if there is not a heavy crop this year there will never be one. They say if we never get any more rain till harvest we would1get a good crop, but there is every indication of a wet season. Farmers are behind very bad in some parts with seeding. Down in the flats or Red River valley towards Minnesota there are many farmers who have not done a day's work on the land for water. There will he thousands of acres not sown this year and a great deal of late sowing which is apt to get frozen in the fall. Wheat should be sown here by the 20th of May by rights. We have seventy acres sown and sixty more ready to sow. Perhaps it would be of interest to some to hear something regarding the implements and mode of farming here. In the first, place one man can put in a far largr acre age in this country, compared to one pian in Canada. To give you an idea, Mr. R. Murphy and myself did the following work in two days, With our two teams of horses 6 horses in all: We ploughed seven acres, harrowed 32 acres, sowed with a drill 36 acres. One team went 3 miles for a load of seed wheat and 3 miles on other business. This is good work in this country. The ploughs are steel mouldboards and shears, which are kept sharp to cut the prairie roses that grow very thick and which are a great protection to the wheat in dry weather by shading it. The ploughs are single and gang. The single ploughs cut from 16 to 24 inches and the gang, or two furrow, cut from 12 to 16 inches each. You need three horses or two large ones on the single plows and plough from 4 to 5 acres per day. Tho gang plough needs 4 horses and can plough 8 acres per day. A gang plough costs from 845 to $65. The Barrows "three horse" are 17 feet wide. You harrow two acres every round, half mile rounds. They always work across a quarter section which is half a mile square. The seeders are pretty muck the IN OANADA. 1887.. 12 12 --131 12 131 1888.. 1311 131--141 121 141 1889.. 131 151--16 15.1 15 1890.. 121 121.15 124 15 1891.. 101 101-•15 104 15 And in addition to this we have the authority of the Chicago Inter Ocean for the following which indicates higher prices the coming year. "The National Cordage Company has now for the first time given its price on sisal twine, which is from 11 to 14 cents per pound higher than last season. The dealers who are compelled to buy sisal twine now must of necessity sell at not less than 12o per pound. Those who were fortunate enough to place their contracts before the National Cordage company gained complete control can make a shade lower price On ly about one -fiftieth of what will be needed is now in the hands of dealers. Jobbers are completely out and will be completely out and will be com- pelted to pay Cordage prices." A great deal of virtuous indigna- tion is called forth against Judge Elliott of Middlesex anent the Carl- ing -Hyman election. The Judge is roundly condemned by the Grit press for writing letters to the Len - don Free Press—letters alleged to be of a political nature. But no proof has ever been adduced that the Judge did so. It it true that so called proof was offered to bo placed in the hands of the Speaker. But it would be abserd to presume that the House could form an opin- ion on this charge with the alleged Patterns. A TERRIBLY BRUTAL AF• FAIR. TWO YOUNG WO,'IEN SUAMEFULLY ABUSED—A BAD BOY'S RANDOM SHOT. A lady told us the other day that she did not know we kept patterns and was surprised to find that in- stead of waiting a week for the pattern oho wished, was handed it from stock by 1fiss Cooper who has charge of this department. We cannot tell you of the immense variety of Garments that the Butterick Publishing Company have patterns for, but you may rest assur ed that from our $503 stock you can select the most popular styles. Monthly in the Delineator and half yearly in the 'Metropolitan, you can choose your patterns and come to us for them, as will get the New Fashions as soon as published.

Particulars have come to light of a vile outrage at Dreaney's Corners, London township. A few evenings ago two respectable young women of London were driven out to Droanoy's "Corners by a young man to whom one of them was engaged. About ten o'clock the young people were preparing to return home and the two girls stood in front of Young's hotel speaking to a lady friend while their escort was getting his buggy out of a shed across the street. Suddenly a gaug of five ruffians seized the young women,and in spite of their struggles and a fighting effort on the part of the young man, carried them off to a lonely spot in the woods, gagged them and outraged thorn in a most brutal manner. The girls were beaten insensible, and remained in that state until the morning, when they were found and brought back to the city. The police were noti- fied, but their efforts to catch the desperadoes were very niuch ham- pered by the young women's reluct- ance to let the affair become known. The members of the gang who took part in the act aro said to be five young men from the east end,natne- ly, David Moore, Armstrong, two We also get the other Popular_-____- lteaazines such as the "ART DE LA MODE," "THE SEASON," "NEW YORK FASHION BAZAR", "YOUNG LADIES JOURNAL" and "HAR- PERS BAZAR."

Moorohouee, South London, had a very narrow escape with hie life yesterday. Ho was engaged pick• ing water cress along the banks of the river when he came across a jar and picked it up, Another boy was standing on the opposite bank and saw Moorehouse with the jar called over to him to "put it down or I will shoot you." Almost im- , mediately thereafter the rascal pull. od the trigger of a small revolver and discharged it, the bullet etm`ik- ing Moorehousind the left ear. Fortunately the rte of the leaden messenger was about spent when it reached its victim, and striking a bone glanced upward about two inches and lodged in the flesh. Had it struck a quarter of an inch lower 'the effect would have been very serious, but the lad is all right again. A doctor extracted the bul- let uglet and dressed the wound. Who the culprit was that fired the shot is not known,
