T, lie TtlrwOct World 0 ilte.i tII O )b' li,Shed the re loq'l;n -.," JI i•�f *r " With toteren.ce to the i , a xunaoc that Air ,Blake iptenda entering the Ira- periel Parliament as repreeentive of an Irish constituency, *prominent Liberal poltician here in conversation yesterday stated that it had been known in a quiet way to the leaders of the party for tome time past that mice was his iutintion. My Worm - ant. stated that bath lair Gladstone and 1 Earl Roseberry were Very greatly im- pressed by Mr Blake's course ou the Home Rule question, and were of the opinion that t til s presence in n t h e Im- perial House would add strength t the Liberal party on the Home Rule question, as well as on matters relat- ing to the colonies', and especially to Canada. With this view they had been in communication with Mr. Blake, and had offered him an Irish constituency, with a prospective seat in the Cabinet on the return of the Liberals to office. h:y informant inti- mated that a seat would be found for Mr. Blake before the Imperial Par- liament reassembles, and that be world then resign bis seat for West Durham and bid adieu to Canadian politics." Up to the present there bas been no contradiction of this, but that fact Would not necessarily imply that the report were true. We do not know that it would be much of a surprise to dlr. Blake's friends in Canada, should the report subsequently turn out to l tie, correct. The speech which he re- cently delivered while on a visit to Ireland would at least give color to the teport, and while his loss to Can- - ada and to the Liberal party in this country would be irreparable, the eyes of nearly all Canadians would follow with deepest interest his career in the Imperial House of Commons, where Ma wonderful ability would certainly meet with more fitting ac- knowledgment than it has in the land of his birth, where partizan spirit has blinded the eyes of the majority to the fact that Edward Blake, for eloquence, ability, lofty motives and spotless honor, has walk- ed without apeer among gthe public men of Canada. It is certainly not much encouragement to a man of Mr Blake's moral standing to find that the public, or at least a large portion thereof, prefer those who have less conscientious scruples than his, that they prefer politicians of the "shady" sort to those who are upright and honest in their dealings, but such has, unfortunately in our opinion, proved to be the fact. Whether Mr, Blake remains in England or not, we frankly admit that we do not expect to see him ever take an active part in Canadian public affairs again. We are strongly disposed to think, much as we regret to make the admission, that Mr. Blake's resignation of the Liberal leadership, though at the time only intended to betemporary, ie permanent. Vest Huron Protest D Very much to our surprise hat the election protest•a 'orter,and the counter protea r Cameron, nave been drop onservatives to pay costs t Out of about $400. The real or the withdrawal of the gainst Mr Porter is that ameron .positively refused andidate in case of a new he Advisory Committee of t ' iding Liberal Association judicious to cease proceed; 1, is is the only reason, it is nr opinion, one that will be hie to the majority of the Lib is Riding.

In the very articale which a produces must of, we find a in the United States subject duty, whatever it may be, and ens that duty is removed our proiucts would take a bound l that would be surprising. We this assertion, that if Com - Union ever beanies an accom- fact, our exportb to the United will, be nearly double, if not Ian our imports. Still Spreading "Commercial Union has taken a firmer hold of the people and spread more quickly than I had any idea it would, and I regard the outlook for it as very encouraging indeed." That was what a gentleman remarked the other day, and he was on the opposite side of the political fence to our- selves. It certainly looks as if the subject is exciting attention and in.. terest from all quarters. Not only is it being discussed in the States and Canada but in England .also. The London Observerrin a leading article .on Monday, says that Canada must .have Commercial Ungion with United States, and should lot be interfered with in her attempts to bring it about but naturally- expresses the opinion that any attempt on her part to pro- hibit English imports as a measure of protection to Canadian manufacturers, will tend to complete separation of the Dominion from the Mother Coun- try. One eyidence of the growing interest in this question is found in the formation of a Commercial Union Association for the Province of On tario, which took place at Toronto the other day. The most remarkable feature of the meeting was that the princical speak- ers were prominent Conservatives, in- cluding Messrs G. D. Dickson, Q. C., of Belleville, William Anderson, ex - M; P. P. for Prince Edward county, Valancey Fuller, of Hamilton, J. W. Johnston and others. It will be the duty of the new association to edu- cate public opinion in Ontario regard- ing the great benefits that would ac- crue to every interest from unrestrict- ed reciprocity of trade with the United States. The Seven Anarchists are to be hanged in Chicago to -day, all efforts for a teprieve having tailed so far - They deserve their fate. A little while ago no language was too strong for the Conservative papers to nee in denouncing the Reilite 'irebels," as some of the Quebeccers were called, but when the chief rebel was made Speaker of the House of Commons, they had nota word to say. Sir John has again shown his prefer- ence for "rebels" by selecting Mr. Rolland, of Quebec, for one of the Senate vacancies. D039 any one sup- poss that the Conservative papers will denounce this appointment, be. cause taken if they do they will be mis- `het beriti4 , fpr ' nrati.

The growth of the Canadian egg tra .e of late years has been some- tiling marvellous, and shows how "free trade in eggs" has been bene- cial to the Canadian producer.
