The Ontario Legislature is' in session: The doings of the "little tyrants" will be watched with deep interest. There was nothing very stwrtling in the ad- dress fro~ the Throne. The Hon. J. Israel Tarte seems to always be in warm quarters, but the fire which broke out in his department in the parliament buildings was so warm that the Minister wits compelled to vacate. It will take probably half a million dirllars of the people's money to make good the neglect of some of the incompotents. A McRillop Tory Speaks. d Editor Vesas;Record, SiR,-It is surely time the Conserva- tives wodid begin to stand together for self protection to officials and country. The respectable part of the Reformers would join thein. Take the commis- sions now going on all over the Domin- ion the respectable Reformers are opposed to it. Mr. Garrow and Mr. Bolt in Wez;t Huron oppose the Grit tactics, although the notorious Dan. was it witness on the persecution side. At Brantford Hun. Mr. Hardy stated the Tor ies had organized ballot stuffing and Intimated that the three dead lead- ers were in it, wbereas the only case of conviction in the Dominion was a Grit for the election of the Minister of Jus- tice in 1878. The great bow avow raised about ballot stuffing in Manitoba has all fallen through, as it will even under the prosecution of the Greenway government. Following Mr. Hardy s advice, a Grit has been arrested in Briiutford for personation (and similar cases occurred in Clinton). They are supposed to have followed the Reform commission to N'Vasbingtou. The Hon, Mr. Laurier told thein they had free trade with the United States in cattle, which is not so. The Tories did not put Mr. Laurier's brother out of the post office nor did they put Mr. Davies' father and scores of others out of office, together with the Auditor -General With his staff of officials of his own selection. The Torres should see to the voters' lists in future. Farmer's sous are often put down as joint owners who are not at home and are likely to be M. ,F's. in other parts of the pro. vince and are men who get their names on voters' lists when they should not and will vote twice if possible.

Cartwright and Davies, of the Canadian cabinet, had interviews with a number of public met). They were escorted by Representative Hitt, of Illinois, who introduced thein to the leaders of both Houses. They had a ,half-hour's talk with Speaker Reed, which ended with the remark by Sir Richard Cartwright that it seemed to be the idea of the people of each coun- try that if they could rebuild a high tariff wall around thoir own domains they could enrich themselves at the expense of their neighbors. Speaking for the new Canadian administl•ation, be said it was theirhope that rho United States would aee that reciprocal commercial arrangements would bene- fit both peoples. The Canadians have encountered it barrier to the success of their mission in the ways and means committee, which is framing the new tarrff,bill. They base their reciprocity scheme upon an exchange of conces- sions by which Canada will adroit the manufactures Of the United States upon favorable tariff terms in return for tariff concossrons to Canadian farm prodnets. Members of the ways and means committee have announced their, intention to give particular bene- fits to the American farmer and to se- cure to the American farmers the en- tire home markets for their products. Sever.•11 of them said to -day that they would not consider any reciprocity scheme Which would take any part of the home markets t'rorn the farmers. Their policy of giving the farmer ample protection is shown in the agricultural and lumber schedules of the new tariff bill, which have become known. The Canadians have met with auuther dis- couragement in the immigration bill now before Congress, which excludes 1 Canadian laborers from the United States. - _ On Tuesday night Daniel Gorman and Jas.

The "Ethnography ectady, N. Y. Beware of imitations and Substitutes alleged to be "just as and Philology of the United Stelae good." Exploring Expedition," was published in 1846. The following years were spent in travel and study. In 1853 Mr. Hale was studying law in Chicago; Ire was admitted to the bat in 1855. In 1856 he moved to Clinton, Out., where lie devoted himself partly to the practice of his new profession, and partly to the pursuit of ethnological and philological studies. Many are his contributions to science, and they rank among the best work done itl America, The nearness to hie now home of the Iroquola Reser- vations incited his interest, and the results of his studies have been laid dowu in numerous brief papers, but principally in his book "An Iroquois Book of Rites" (Philadelphia, 1883). His investigations of the origin of the Hiawatha legend, 'the historical basis of which he made clear, assure him an important place among folklorists It was due to his studies among the Iro- quois, also, that he made a discovery of great importance regarding the early history of the American tribes. He was fortunate enough to find the last Tutelos who were able to speak their language, and in 1870 he ascertained beyond cavil that they spoke a dialect of the Dakotan or Siouan stock. In 1883 he published a fuller record of of their language. In 1.885 Mr. Bale was elected Vice President of the An- thropologioal Section of the American Association for the Advancement ,of Science. In 1886, when presiding over the meetings of the Section, he delivered a presidential address in which he set forward a well -conceived theory of the origin of linguistic stocks, which is undoubtedly one of the beet ever suggested in regard to this difficult problem, and received favorable con- sideration from many eminout lin- guists. In 1883 the British Association for the Advancement of Science appointed a committee for the investigation of the tribes of western Canada. Mr. Hale, as editor of the reports of this committee, bore for many years the principal share of its labors. He wrote a useful circular of inquiry and laid out the detailed plan of work, In connection with the investigations of this committee, the writer of these lines had the pleasure of coming into close contact with him. His wise council, his amiable guidance, his kindly friendship ensure a grateful memory to him whose worksi students of ethno- logy andof linguistics will ad milrefor all time to come. Science has lost a work, or to whose enthusiasm and faithful labor we owe much ; mankind has lost a man whose wisdom, kindness and steadfastness it is hard to lack. FRANz BOAS. Columbia College. They Were in West Huron, Most Likely. Victoria Warder On election day, Brant county wits overrun with grit personators. Detec- tives were on their track, and one was caught in the act. He .made a break for liberty but was chased to the re,- form eform contririttee rooms, found in hid- ing behind a door in an inner room and arrested. Leading reformers had been seen driving with him, and he was bailed out by prominent members of that party but has jumped his bail. Six others are being sought after by the police. Three others have surren- dered themselves. In North Ontario the personators were too closely watch- ed to do much mischief, but theg' * 9 out of extra ballots seemsto have been a favorite reform dodge there. Prafess purity and practice pollution is grit principle. Political Points. Abuse of Sir Charles Tupper and Mr. Foster forms a good part of the grit arguments nowadays. The recent heavy failures throughout Canada does not indicate that an era of prosperity has set in as was pro- claimed by the grits when their party got into power. They call the liquor found in the Re- form Committee -room at Brantford methylated spirits. In one of the old Lincoln elections it was designated raspberry vinegar. The frozen hydrants which prevent- ed the flow of water at the Ogawa fire are a standing rebuke to the spoils system. We are to pay out half a million of dollars in part because Mr. Tarte was bound to have a politician in office. We get some satisfaction out of the fact that, during the present session of the Ontario legislature, the Grit minis- ters and their apologists will not be able to excuse their shortcomings by pointing to similar shortcomings of the Tory government at Ottawa. Some other plan must be invented. The Reform patty has always claim- ed that through them Canada obtain- ed responsible government, being allowed to manage our own affairs without referring to Downing at. for its a prover. But in these latter days of lefurm rule, it new referee has been chosen and is endorsed by the Toronto Globe. The_' referring of our internal affairs to the Vatican at Rome, instead of Downing st. ap- proval does not indicate much Ito- provetnent in its reform. Since defeated by Mr. A., F. Mac - Laren, M.

A let- ter received at Stratford from Mr. Grieve states that he has decided to accept the offer. He will begin work at once, and for the present his field of operations will be among the farming community of Michigan.
