T'ilE ArORT1H POLE,. of Canada to travel over the completed road. The favorable impression form- ed• by trim of the magnitude of the work of Constructing such a railway are already familiar to the people of x Canada. The poor old Crlotie should ohange its name. The better name would be the Canadian Grannie. The issue of Satur- day last tolls a story supposed to be writ- ten in 1960 of how the Canadian Repub- lic was established. A few members of the Young Men's Liberal Club of Toren- fo,disgusted with the continued loyalty di the Dominion, shook the dust of the iRi ten City, from their patent -leather shoes and went north in search of min- rival wealth or the pole they were not par idcular which.. As they went over the 3isozenwaters ofliudsonBay,their whis ;ley- gave out,and their dogs died. Hay Ing thus lost the real spirit of the Clear Grit party, and their more intellectual companions,they were in despair, when amaze of their number hi whom the last fumes of the old rye had not died,saw a Mein the ice with the heavy end of the earth's axis sticking out. They pulled from oue of their pockets a block add tackle, and by means of a neighboring iceberg raised the pole, which turned eat to be a plug, holding the hot water generated, in the earth's centre. This Dewed out in a great river southward, through Hudson Bay, into Lake Super_ and thence to the sea. Canada be- ne a tropical country at once and un der the changed climate the Canadians liame as spiritless as Mexicans, or Digger Indians, and an Indepeudent Eepublfe of course follows. The article Wills how the President of the Republic gathered with his friends .around this pole, , preserved in the. capital; Toronto, to hear the last surviver tell once again the story of the long journey, the dead. dogs, and the finished whiskey. ,The. reader who has time to -waste can see the wholething in last Saturday's Globe w the engine on the early trainmust steak with laughter, as it delivers such trash.

The fourth session of the sixthParlia int of the Dominion of 'Canada was wed on Thursday afternoon last, by TiaExcellency the Governor General. Parliament assembled earlier than us- ual this, year, the fourth time it has been convened in the month of Janu- ny since. Confederation. The second ;pion of the fifth Parliament opened OD the 17th of January, 1884; the Valid session of the fifth Parliament on 'tbe29th January, 1885;:and the third pionof the sixth Parliament, last mssion, on 31st January, 1889. The earlier sessions were the first after Con ,ration, which met on the Cth No- e inber,1867 ; the second session of the meted Parliament, as the result of the Pacific Railway inquiry instituted by :iii: Hnntington,ou the 23rd of October, 3813eaud the third session of the fourth Parliament—which was convened at wale, date to considerthe agreement entered into between the, ,Government and the syndicate formed for the com- pletion of the Canadian Pacific Rail- -spy—on the 9th December, 1880. In 'calling the Parliament together at this ply date the Government best suits the convenience of the members, who expressed themselves pleased at the decision arrived at. ' At no time in the history of the Do Minie/I was the country more generally Viperous than it is at present and it is only reasonable to assume that the 'ridenccs of progress and Prosperity •which was everywhere visible was alluded to in His Excellency's Speech iom the throne on Thursday: Canada's advancement is'asolid,''and the"people at l#rrge may well be complimented upon the existing state of affairs. A,' few months ago the Governor- General set out upon a journey to the Pacific coast over the Canada Pacific railway, one of the"„ greatest railway enterprises 1tnown:to' the world, the, successful completion and operation of enbicb arematters of pride to all pat - "laic 0autclfans. The time was when the possibility of bringing that gigan- tic enterprise to a successful tannin- ntiatr" was called in question, and when very suggestion -of its ever becom- -.lug a paying sehere was redieuled. i''nt apparently insuperable ^difficulties xesuccessfully overcome; the road ,-w Completed long befoi'e e date : :d in the agreement enteed into h1t:Ween the Government and the 5 f ovally; and the sttacess of work:- its 'erg is a fact -which has been dernon- ;t'v eel by the official rcturnti. Lord nley was thefhrst Gov011or.Gcneral C. dition to lands, mines and ironwork, with the -exceptions of canals and gas- works there is no item of property which does not show a diminution in the rate of increase between 1875 and 1885 as compared with the period 1865- 75. An interesting, part of the paper is the section devoted' to the distribu- tion of wealth between England, Scot- land and Ireland. An exact division between the three countries, it is point- ed out, is obviously impossible, for the reason, among others, that property in one part of the kingdom is, held by people resident in another. The weal- th of England shows an enormous pre- ponderance. Scotland is described as being "a long way behind;" while the wealth of Ireland is stated to be "com- paratively insignificent." The value of the prperty possessed by each of the three countries is stated to be ;England eight thousand six hundred and seven teen millions; Scotland, nine hundred and seventy-three millions; and Ire- land, four hundred and forty-seven millions. This gives £308 per , head of the population for. England, £243 for Scotland and £93 for Ireland: Eng- land, it is thus shown, possesses a little over eight aud a half tenths of the wealth of the United Kingdom as a whole; Scotland about a tenth, and Ire, land less than a twentieth, Mr. Giffen remarked that "Ireland possesses very little of the great elements of capital which constitute the wealth of the Un- ited Kingdom." •Mr. Giffen invaded the domain of politics for the purpose of dealing with the question of parlia- mentary representation upon a basis of wealth. "Reckoning back by wealth," he said, "England should have eighty- six per cent of the representation of. the. United Kingdon, or 576 members out of a total of 670. Scotland, by the same rule, should have about 64, and Ireland not more than 30." The pro- portion of representation is as follows: England, 495 members; Ireland, 103 members,' and Scotland, 72 members. According to population Ireland at pres- ent has> larger, representation in the House of Commons than either Eng- land or Scotland. In dealing with this branch of his subject Mr, Giffen re- marked: "There is;a real weakness in the present constitutional arrange_ ments;" that, furthermore,"it is neither V O'l'1C1� IS 1ll+n'l:l3X (zi'EN, 'MAT i " a to t'w'enty days from tIio ilrsttea Hon 'hereof, application will be ui a,io to tit° sltrromtte Court of the County of kiblron, on behalf ofJolln Gesoho, of the Township of'Ifey in tho saki county ofiiuron, yeoman for an ureter appointin t tho Said Jolin Gays-, olia,5uerdian o JohnG esello, tho younger, ChristienGesello,LeehGeselto, DavidUres- e1 o and Jacek Gaseho, infant childron of the said J ohn <aaseho and happy Geseho, late of the said'Iownsllipofllay, deceased• patoa at ENebe'this l,dthda.y' of January, nsao• THE' WEALTH' OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. Mr. Giffen, the celebrated statistic- ian,'recently read a paper before the Royal Statistical Society on The Acc- umulation of Capital in the United Kingdom in 1875-85. According to Mr. Giffen's estimate the wealth of Great X3ritain amounts to about ten thousand million pounds—thirteen and a half times the amount of the national debt—giving an average of somewhere about £270 per head for the population of the United kingdom. From an an- alysis of the mass of tables submitted by Mr. Gificn in his paper, it is learned that during the decade 1875-85 the, pat= ional capital increased by fourteen hun- dred and eighty nine million pounds,or seventeen and a half per cent. The increase in the preceeding decade was relatively double. The fall off is at. tributed by Mr• Giffen to depreciation in the value of agriettltur<al produce, which brought about a fall " in rents. Inhouses th.e increased valuation kept pace with that which was observable between 1865 and 1875. Railways also showed sittisfactory progress. The it ems of actual deerease included, in ad - wise nor prudent to make so complete a divorce as has now_ be�n'ii:made bo- tween the real strength °'efdiff r ne £' parts of the population of the United ¥ingdom and the representation in Parliament." "There should," contin- ued Mr. Giffen. "be a representation of forces in Parliament if we had perfect- ly just arrangements, and not :merely a counting of heads. The cry of 'in- justice to England will clearly have to be raised some day, and it will perhaps be welcomed were it only as a change upon that familiar one of 'injustice to Ireland.'" Comparing the wealth of the population of the United Kingdom with that of other countries, Mr. Giffen pointed out that it was £270.per head, as against £190 for France and £160 for the United States.

"La Grippe" or Lieltning Catarrh, MR. EDITOR. -"La grippe," or Russ- ian influenza,as it is termed,is in real- ity an epidemic catarrh, and is called by some .physicians "lightning cat- arrh," from. the rapidity with which, it sweeps over the country.

No family should be with- out a bottle of Nasal Balm in the house as cold in the head and catarrh are pe- culiarly liable to attack people at this -se=`tson of the year and Nasal .Balm is the only prompt and speedy cure for. these troubles ever offered the public.
