Eaitot laY -From present appearances, innni- gra#ion into the United States for the fiscal year ending with the 30th of this month will aggregate 1,000,000. ,This is a larger number than has arrived in any previous year. • * * -The Ontario Government, it is un- derstood, will take no action upon the promise of the old Government to a number of wealthy sporting men to lease them a number of islands in Rice Lake in Peterboro' and Northumber- land counties for a 'period of 21 years for sporting purposes. Premier Whit- ney bas said that he would allow no encroachments on the rights of the public by these organizations. *** -The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune points out that by the acquisition of Korea the popu- lation of Japan has been increased from 48,000,000 to 66,000,000, and with the further extensions of territory which are expected to follow the war she will have a population exceeding that of the Unitd States. Japan is more than a great power ; it is a ques- tion if, from a military standpoint, she is not the greatest world. power. * * * -Thomas Keilty, chief factory in- spector, has just completed a tour of the Province of Ontario. He states that a very large number of English- men are employed all over, but the mechanics are too slow. Mr. Keilty says that, although the manufacturing industries of Ontario are growing, they are not growing anything like the way they should, having regard to the great increase in population. He instanced a case of where a cement manufacturer who cane to Canada on a holiday, sold 45,000 barrels of Ameri- can cement in three days, and joked abort the way the Canadians were closing their factories. Another firm, be says, was obliged to let over 40 car- loads of hardware orders for the year go by on account of their inability to supply the goods, which were shipped from the United. States. *** -The Toronto Telegram thus muses on North Oxford by -elections -"If Sir Wilfrid Laurier can only carry North Oxford by 349 at a by-election, what sort of a majority will Ontario roll up against Coercion at a general election 2 Coercion started into North Oxford with an easily possible majority of 1,400, and Coercion was glad to escape from North Oxford with a majority reduced to 349. The change in North Oxford was wrought, not by 1,050 Liberals staying at home, but by more than 500 Liberals voting Tory. The shrinkage of the Liberal majority in North Oxford to 349 on the biggest vote ever polled in the riding simply means that no English-speaking con- stituency in Ontario is safe for Laurier unless the majority is over 800 or Co- ercion can find a Cabinet Minister for its standard-bearer." * * -Prof. Goldwin Smith, who writes over the signature of "Bystander" says -"The political crisis in Russia may be said to be a rude counterpart of that in France at the opening of the Revolution. Like Louis X.VI., the Czar is pressed to take the nation into council. The French King made the fatal mistake of doing this by the method of election. All the firebrands were sure to become candidates, and generally to get themselves elected. If the Czar is wise he will keep the se- lection of representatives in his own bands and invite the most respectable and popular men, free from violent tendencies, who in each locality can be found. The people, his people most certainly, will be satisfied, and he Will have a national assembly iit co-opera- tion with which, if he is honestly bent Y on practical reform, he and his Em- pire may escape that greatest of all evils --a violent tesolution." * --In the Dominion Parliament, Hon. Emmerson presented the report of the Intercolonial railway,aYr showin g that the country faces another deficit on the road. This year's deficieney amounts to nearly two million dollars. Mr. Ilaggatt for the Opposition con- tended that the line was a good one and could be made to pay. The Minis- ter of Railways asked for 75 more locomotives but Mr. Barker of 'Until- tonthe n ttial trim pointed out thattcrcolo I ed now �haad one engine to every 4.3 utiles of the f'o'ul . , while the G. T. It. had one to 4.8 miles, the C. P. It one to every 8 miles anis the Clatouliten Nor. thein only Otto to every ten, miles.

Emmet. - son needed 75 more engines ! W. F. lliaele.au deplored the utter lack of any desire to Manage the Intelco- 1oni4l on business principles. Other nations could manage railways and make !loon pay, Why could not * * -The lVeel ly Sun calls attention to the rapid increase of the military ex- penditure for the Dominion. Tn 1880, the expenditure for this purpose .was $000,010. The Sun says --"It will bo noted that the total outlay 111 1885 was $2,707,758; but $1,607,852 of this was expended in suppressing the second Rell rebellion. The ordinary expendi- ture of that year for military purposes was, therefore, only a little over $1,000,000. Again, the expenditure for the fiscal year beginning with July 1st is put itt $3,701,000. But this sunt includes the Main estimates only ; the supplementaries are not given, but Sir Frederick Bordeu, speaking in the House recently, placed the cost of maintaining the Halifax aucl Esqui- malt garrisons alone at $1,000,000, This is a very moderate estimate ; it is more likely that the total expendi- ture for 1005-6 will reach the even $5,000,000 --five tildes the expenditure, aside from the Northwest rebellion, of 20 years ago. Unless the people pro- test, and protest vigorously, we shall be spendiug $10,000,000 a year on de- fence five years hence. The Govern- ment, fearful of public attention being attracted to the matter, has adopted the policy of hide, Up to the fiscal year of 1806 all our expenditure on militia was provided for out of the ordinary revenue. In the year named Mr. Foster initiated the policy of pro- viding for part of it out of borrowed money -$1,000,000 being charged to capital in that year- Since then near- ly two and one-half millions more have been charged up in the same way." TRIUMPH OF A SOBER NATION. (Toronto World). "There is something in the result of the great naval battle in the Straits at Korea that goes beyond the scope of inquiry of the naval experts. Superi- or strategy, swifter ships, truer firing and greater daring -these are only the superficial explanations of Ad- miral Togo's victory. They are the manifestation rather than the cause of the proud ascendancy of Japan. "The result of the battle is, in reality the triumph of sober Japan over whisky -soaked Russia. It is the great- est temperance lecture ever delivered to the world, to nations and to indi- viduals as well. "What was proved on the wreck - strewn Straits of Korea has already been proved in the destruction of the Port Arthur squadron in the running fight with the Vladivostock cruisers, in the reduction of an almost impreg- nable fortress and in the land. opera- tions in Manchuria. It was in each case Japan against Russia, but it was more. It was temperance against de- bauchery. "Japan's achievements on land and sea were not directed by men who had spent their days and nights in idleness and dissipation. They wore the pro- duct of lives of strong, steadfast, sober behavior, the very opposite of what their enemy had been. "The lesson of the war is not for Russia alone. It is for every nation and for every individual who seeks stability and advancement. Great Britain's greatest danger to -day is the intemperance of the people. Intem- perance and progress do not go to- gether. They are, as Sir Frederick Treves said the other day, hopelessly antagonistic. This eminent authority made the statement that alcoholic drink, even in small quantities, and minimizes iniulizes sorbs human energy the effort of the individual. Russia has learned this truth but at a terrible cost. Let Great Britain profit from thtit lesson before it is too late." Goderich. The Sumner Hotel has opened for the season, and already tourists are arriving. Mr. Torn Davis is the mana- ger. Tho steamer Midland Queen arrived in port on Tuesday and left the salve afternoon after delivering 40,000 bush- els of wheat at the Goderich Elevator.

I). Cameron had both bones of the leg broken just above the ankle and the bones split as well. It seems some years ago he had his leg broken in the same place and until recently wore a bandage. In alighting front a rig on Monday he stepped on an uneven piece of ground and the bones broke in the old place. The contractors are pushing the work at the west end of Dunlop's bridge and have made a fair start to the east of that struettue.

Miss Edna Hildred, formerly of Lucknow, has completed her first year :at the University of Torouto with first class honors. The Rev. A. Mackay and family left on Saturday afternoon for Scotland, where Mr. Mackay takes charge of a large congregation of the Free Church of Scotland.
