A short ses- sion is probable, Owing to the fact that the new Government has been so short a time in power, the chances are that it will introduce little, if any, im- portant legislation at present. Indi- cations are not wanting that the legis - tion emanating from the new Govern- ment will he of a progressive nature, but tirne is needed to consider and shape it to fit the requirements of the province. * * —Britain, backed by Continental in- vestors, and in the face of an unsatis- factory financial market at home, has just offered Canada $160,000,000. The first issue of mortgage bonds of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad placed on the market on Wednesday was ten times over -subscribed. In 36 hours Britain's moneyed men, and her finan- cial institutions, placed the seal of suc- cess upon Canada's latest transconti- nental railroad project, and assured the Dominion of their confidence in its present prosperity and future ad- vancement. * * - —On July lst next the Canadian ' Government will take over from the Imperial authorities the Halifax and Esquimalt defenses. At present all the Dominion does is to pay part of the cost of the defense at Esquirnalt. The wish of the British Parliament was that Canada pay one and a quar- ter million dollars to maintain the de- fenses and leave the contract in the hands of Britain, but Canada has offer- ed to assume control and foot the whole bill—about two million. This offer has been accepted, and in July next Canada will commence to control her own defences. Now is the time to buy Furniture for Spring.

Woe 4.410 ., y * —During the fiscal year 1963-4 the following, expenditures were made by the Public Works Department on works along Lake Huron :—Goderich, $18,817.73; St. Joseph, $4,604,11; Grand Bend, $298.64; Sarnia, $5,651.40; Kin- cardine, $3,088.15; Bayfield, $9,136.70. At Grand Bend the work has just commenced. A contract was let to John D. Warick for the sum of $21,288 for the construction of a wharf at the Bend. If some of this money and many other similar, sums that are ex- pended at other points in Canada were applied to reducing the National Debt 'or the Customs duties, it would ¶1e more to the point, very properly re- marks the Exeter Advocate. 'i TWO NEW PROVINCES. A Bill has been introduced into the Dominion Parliament, by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, for the formation of two new provinces in the Northwest. These provinces will be—Saskatche- wan, with Regina as capital, and Al- berta, with Edmonton as capital (at least provisionally). Each province will have an, area of 275,000 .square miles. They both extend front the 60th parallel of latitude on the North to the United States boundary on the South. The eastern boundary of Sas- katchewan is the western- boundary line of Manitoba extended northward, and the western boundary of Alberta is the boundary. line of British Colum- bia. The fourth principal meridian of longitude will be the imaginary line separating the new provinces. Each Provincial Legislature is to have 25 members, and the birthday of the new° provinces is to be July 1st, 1905. The Dominion Government will re- tain control of the public lands, but will make allowances in cash to the provinces in lieu of the lands. Besides, the Dominion funds 'will furnish $50,- 000 yearly to each province for pur- poses of government, and an allow- ance of 80 cents per head on an esti- mated population of 260,000, or $200,000. • = A, Separate School system is to be granted the minority. The above are the outlines of the Bill. There is great dissatisfaction in the West with the Bill. Manitoba de- sired extension of her bottndary west- ward; this was refused., The neW provinces also desired control of their publie lands. The forcing of a Sonar - ate School system upon the new pro- winces is sure to eause trouble and annoyance. The Bill has had its first reading, and is flow tip for discussion in the House. Already patitiona have been presented and protests entered against the Separate School provisions of the Bili, RULERS .AND MEM SALARMS, have to go out of existence and that the third one will be strengthened, leaving two strong societies in the (1?'rolta'1'he Criterion.)riding instead of four at present, \Vhieh of the world's inouarchs In y'et tutotlrei' riditlg county, the rules the greatest laud?

The somewhat dubious cleanliness of this gold and silver born of gambling semis to trouble him not a.t all ; nor, on the other hand, is he so wealthy a (Toronto World.) man GS one might well suppose, for he (literally) sinks hundreds of thousands a year in those deep-sea dredgings, which he conducts out of his royal pocket, to the gain of science and his own princely pleasure. Of the rulers of whom the world has greater ,personal knowledge, Abdul Hamid II., Sultan of Turkey, draws the most "pay." He is said upon good authority to spend thirty millions a year, but he contents himself with niggardly wages of $10,000,000, and from that figure at the head of the list the salaries run down to the $10,000 a year, which goes to Dr. Amador of Panama and Jose Eacalon of Salvador, the smallest if not the newest of re- publics. The Czar of all the Russias draws $7,500,000, though a man with it per- sonal income estimated at $81 a min- ute, and the finest jewel collection in all the world, cannot need it so very, very badly, even though he live in a court known as the most magnificent and extravagant in Europe. Ger- many's Kaiser, oddly enough, receives not a penny from the empire he now controls, but lie draws from his an- cient kingdom of Prussia and from _ various semi -private sources about four millions every twelle months. King, Victor of Italy, who has just created a. sensation by petitioning his Parliament to cut down his annual pay, has been 'getting $3,080,000. Franz Josef receives $2,775,000 from the dual empire of Austria and Hun- gary, the Mikado Mutsuhito $2,250,000 from active little Japan, Alfonso near- ly a million and tL half from Spain, and King Edward about a million more than that from England. None of the' others rises above the $700,000 'which goes both to the Danish and Belgian monarchs (the latter, by -the -by, thanks to his Congoland receipts, being esti- mated now 'to be the wealthiest roan in the world) ; but the iterhs run com- fortably into six figures for all emper- ors, kings and princes, saving only - Nicholas of Montenegro, whose $41,500 really relegates him back (or forward) to the ranks of the presidents. Emile Louhet, with $150,000 a year and royal residences both in Paris and - at Versailles at his disposal, leads all his fellow republicans so far as to be practically in a class by himself. Sec- ° and on the presidential list, according to this purely monetary basis, comes the chief executive of the United States with $50,000, then -Alvez of Brazil and Diaz of Mexico with $40,000 - each, then Roca of Argentine and Riesco of Chilli with $36,000. Switzer - 1 land pays Comptesse 335,000 and Ca- prera gets $30,000 from Guatemala. _ • FAiRS' ASSOCIATION. THE SCHOOL QUESTION. The resolutions passed at the con- vention of the Ontario Association of - Fairs and Exhibitions, held in Toronto February 14th to 15th, are likely JP" have far reaching' effects. The Agri cultural societies of the Province for many years have been receiving fixed grants from the Governinent, irres- pective of the work they are doing. At the recent convention, as tt. result of information furnished by Provin- cial Superintendent H. B. Cowan, a resolution was adopted recommending that in future grants should be dis- tributed to the societies in proportion to the amount of money they expend for agricultural purposes. It is probable that the Agricultural and Arts Act will be revised and this change made within a year or so. Should this bea done it will result in many of the smaller societies in the Province being cut off and societies which are doing good work being strengthened. An examination of the returns trade to the Department of Agriculture, by some of the societies of the Province shows hots such a, change is likely to work out. In a county in Eastern Ontatio, svhet'e the district society has been devoting a great deal of attention to horse racing, this society will lose $140 front its grant, which money will go to a town- ship society farther flack in the I FARM FOR SALE. •county, which is being conducted on agricultural lines. In another East- ern Ontario county the district society will receive an increase in its grant of $101 whieh will be taken from the grants of three small township moieties. This will probably mean that two of the small societies Will 2/40 The World has two views of the Lanrier school program in connection with the autonomy bill creating the new Provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta that are simply startling and are certain to cause even some of the friends of the government to pause. These views are not guesswork, but they are verified by the highest class of legal opinion on the constitutional issue raised. Sir Wilfrid's bill as presented to the House appears to mean that not only must all the money that the new pro- vinces devote to education be divided pro rata between public schools and separate schools, but all of the money that these provinces May at any time hereafter apportion for high school or university education, or any kind of education, must be also divided in the sante way. This is Much more drastic than anything yet known in the older provinces. SOMETHING WORSE. But there is something worse. Sir Wilfrid Laurier declared that settlers had gone into the new provinces be- cause they expected they would have separate schools. Is it not also fair to infer that the thousands of settlers who [vent in from the States and other' places also expected that the law as set out :in the Dominion lands tact would be respected and maintained and that the•lands set apart in that act for school purposes would be main- tained in their integrity as set out ' this act ? Here are the clauses :— Revised statutes of Canada, 1880, Volume 1, page 823, in the Dominion Lands Act, school lands 23, sections 11 and 29 :=-- "In every surveyed township throughout the extent of the Do- minion lands are set apart as an endoWinent for purposes of educa- tion, and shall be designated school lands; and they are hereby with- drawn from the operation of the clauses of this act, which relate to the sale of Dominion lands and to homestead rights therein ; and no right to purchase or to obtain homestead entry shall be recog- •nized in connection with the said sections or any part of them." NOTE THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Sections 24 and 25 deal with the way they shall be sold. Sub -section 3 of section 25 goes on :— "All moneys from time to time realized from the sale of school lands shall be invested in securities of Canada, to forts a school fund, and the interest- arising therefrom after deducting the cost of man- agement shall be paid annually to the government of the province or territory within which such lands are situated, toward the support' of PUBLIC SCHOOLS therein ; and the [Honeys so paid Shall be distributed for that purpose by the government of such province or territories in such manner as it seems expedient." The best constitutional authorities here say that by no process of consti- tutional distortion can the words "public schools" herein used be made to cover separate schools. And yet this is what Sir Wilfrid Laurier 'pro- poses. Champion Liniment For Rheumatism. Chas. Drake, a mail carrier at Cl7ap- inville,. Conn., says : "Chamberlain's Pain Balm is the champion of all lini- ments. The past year I was troubled a great deal with rheumatism in my shoulder. After trying several cures the storekeeper here recommended this remedy and it completely cured me." There is no use of anyone suf- fering front that painful ailment when this liniment can be obtained for a small sum. One application gives prompt relief and its continued use for a short time will produce a per- manent cure. For sale by A. I. Mc- Call & Co. FARM FOR SALE.
