:.eRn.f.ARY EDUCATION IN ON-
TARIO.
The remittal report of the Minister of
Education for the Province of Ontario
has been received,.
The school population of the provin-
ce last year was 615.353; number of
pupils registered under five years of
age, 1,671; between five and twenty-
one, 493,237; over twenty-one 415;
number of boys registered, 259485; of
girls, 235,838. The average attend -
of the year was 245,789, The
power given under the Public School
Aid to compel the attendance of chil-
dren between the ages of seven aud thir
teen years does not appear to have been
generally exercised. The number of
teachers employed was 7,769—of whom
2,824 were males and 4,972 were fe
males.
There are now 5.626 schoolhouse in
the province, distributed as follows: 5,-
209 in rural districts, 230 in towns and
137 in cities. The log schoolhouses,
the report say, is fast disappearing,
there being only 534,in 1888,as against
1,466, in 1850. In the same period,
brick schoolhouses have increased from
99 to 2,086. 5,497 schoolhouses are
free holders and 159 rented. The num-
ber of maps now used amounts to 44,-
971. In 1850 there were only 1,814.
The Public School receipts of the
year amounts to $4,456,352, deidved
from the following sources: Legislat.
ive grant, $274,511; municipal grant
and assessments, $3,080,995; clergy re-
serve fund, balance, etc, $1,100,846.
The totel expenditure amounted to $3,-
859,365. The report remarks that not-
withstanding the large exepnditure for
sch000l sites and buildings and the
large increase in the staff of teachers,
the cost per pupil has been slightly in-
ereaseed in twelve years. In 1888 it
was 16 cents per pupil more that in
1887. The average cost per pupil on
the number enrolled in 1888, for coun-
ties,, was $6,96; for cities, $1227; and
fortowns, $7.56, or an average of 87.-
75 for the province. In 1877 the aver
age cost was, for counties, $6.01; for
cities, 7.52; for towns, $6.51, or an av-
erage of $6.26 for the province.
The number of Seperate Schools op-
en last year was 238; the receipts.
amounted to $278,114 and the expendi-
ture to $260,003. The number of tea-
chers employed was 523, and the num-
ber of pupils 31,123. During the past
twelve years the number of Seper-
ate Schools increased by sixty-three.
Since the past report was published the
following changes in the law as relates
o Seperate Schools is announced: Pro-
vision for the representation of Seper
ate. on High School Boards; the option
of certifying to the clerk of the muni-
cipality the supporters of a Seperate
School was withdrawn, and the asses-
sors' list substituted ; residents are al-
lowed toapply their taxes for Seper-
:ate; School purposes if lauds are unoc-
cupied with in the municipality, or
within the thre,emiles limit in an adjoin-
ing municipality; trustees of Sep.
erate Ssbools and municipal author
itiesevere permited to enter into an
agreement whereby acertain sum
should be paid for the support of Separ-
ate Schools in lieu of the ordinary rate
levied by taxation; joint stock com-
panies are allowed to appropriate their
assessment for the support of the Sep
=ate School according to the relative
value.of stock paid up by Catholics and
Protestants; Seperate School Boards
are allowed to issue debentures, charge-
able upon the rates of Separate School
supporters.
The number of High School, includ-
ing- Collegiate Institutes, was 115;
number of teachers, 419; number of
pupils, 17,742; receips, $684,267, of
which amount the sum of $65,416 was
derived from pupils' fees, The ex-
penditures of the year, $627,005.

ars, in training. The Normaland Pro-
vincialilIodel Schools had an attend-

IMMIGRATION INTO ONTARIO.
The number of immigrants who
settled in the Province of Ontario dur-
ing the year 1889 was 15,387, a deerease
when compared with the number itt
1888, of 5,145. The annual repert of
the Provincial Commissioner attributes

consequent on the diseentinuance
the assisted passage rates, and the in-
&temente offered by the Australian,
colonies. The report states that the
immigrants, with few exceptions, were
able to pay their way to their respect-
iye destinations where their labor was
in demand. A large proportion of the
mechanics and general laborers re-
mained in Toronto, where, owing to
the activity in the building trade, they
succeeded in finding employment. The
wages of stonecutters and bricklayers
ranged higher than in the previous
year, while laborers closely connected
with the building trade also improved
their condition. The Commissioner
says, however, although mechanics and
skilled workmen, receive higher wages
hero than in the British Isles there is
no demand for their services in excess
of the supply that would justify any
special effort to induce them to emigrate.
In the case of the farm laborers it is
stated that, as in the previous year,
there was a great demand for this
class from the firs: of April till the end
of October, and the falling off in the
supply caused no small inconvenience
to the farmers, who, in some districts
could not procure an adequate number
of laborers. This led to an increase in
wages which ranged during the har-
vest months from $25 to $40 per month
with maintenance, The nationalities
of the settlers of last year were: Eng-
lish, 9,028; Scotch, 2,347; Irish, 2,268;
German, 779; other countries; 965. The
value of settlers' effects last year is
estimated at $457,894, and since the
year 1874, $5,566,455.45. The expend-
iture of the department for the year
amounted to $6,849.90.
NOT SUCH A UTOPIA. AFTER
ALL.
Those who with one hand paint In
glowing hues the marvellous wealth,
comfort, happiness and progress of
United States farmers, while with the
other, they lay the black on when rep-
resenting Canada agriculturists,would
do well to think about reversing the
brushes, as well as the colors, if any
reasonable conclusion is to be arrived
at, or any significant lesson taught by
the Senate proceedings at Washington,
where a day or two ago Senator Voor-
hees, a prominent and well-informed
public man, moved,the following reso-
lution:—
"Whereas, the deep and widspread
depression and decay of the agricultur-
al interests of the American people; the
enormous and appalling amount of
mortgaged indebtedness on agricultur-
al lands; the total failure of home mar-
kets to furnish remunerative prices for
farm productions and the palpable
scarcety and insufficient money in cir-
culation in the hands of the people with
which to transact the business of the
country and effect exchanges of prop-
erty and labour at fair rats, are cir-
cumstances of the most overwhelming
importance to the safety and well be-
ing of the Government; therefore, be it
"Resolved, that it is the highest duty
of Congress in the present crisis to lay
aside all discussion and consideration
of party issues, and to give the prom-
ised and immediate attention to the
preparation aud adoption of such meas
ures as are required for the relief of
the farmers and other over -taxed and
underpaid labourers of the United
StaTtieis"
This
scarcety tallies with the gorge-
ous fairy tales related by my advocat-
es of Unrestricted Reciprocity. For
three or four years, the people of Can-
ada have been urged to open their
markets to the 'United States, thereby
gaining an enlarged sphere of operat-
ions. They were told how melanch v
the future was for the Dominion, h
said the outlook for the farmer, how
dreary the prospect for those who de-
pend upon the product of either field
or factory, unless terms were made
with our neighbors across the border,
and national interest made secondary
to those of an other country. The
horoscope was cast of a wretched and
undone commonwealth, weak, decay-
ing, paralysed, and more particular in
agricultural district the panacea of
closer trade relations was advocated
in eloquent, if not veracious terms.
The logical result could not but prove
disasterous to Canada; the effect would
be to make the Dominion a slaughter
market, and ultimately mean the ab-
sorption of a once powerful British Col-
ony into the great American Republic.
Canadians would lose their identity-,
end two or three more scruples would
he added to their star-spangled banner.
A few might prosper a few grow richer,
the vest majority, however, awaken to
late to the fact that faraway fields
sometimes grow greener than they
realer are. ,Of course, come advocate
of this great nationalsacrifice were
sincere in their belief that the Change
wottld prove beneficial, °theta embrace
the cattie from a party statclpeint:
some„ liniited, heeveyer, look 'Upon it

annotation, Senator Voorhees twit,
tingly furnished strong proof that Sir
John Macdonald end the conservatives
have acted in the best interests of tile
Donumon, by refusing to consent to
any trede relation with the United.
States, inless based upon board com-
mercial principals, and surrounded by
equitable safeguard,
MR. MARTIN'S .rNTERFERENCE
To Attorney -General Martin's political
ambition there is no limit. He has
succeeded in securing the passing of
a bill to abolish Seperate schools in the
province of Manitoba, and no doubt he
regards himself as famous in cense,
quenee of the pugnacious pertinacity
which characterized his putting the
bill through the Legislature. Not sat-
isfied with success in this and other
matters, Mr Martin has undertaken to
advise the Government ef Canada
on trade matters, and with that object
in view he submitted a resolution to
the Legistature favoring free trade
with the United States, which was car-,
ried. Now, Mr. Martin should confine
himself to dealing with, questions
which are constitutionally within the
powers of Provincial Legislature, and
Certainly trade and commerce is not
one of them. True. he does not under-
take to legislate' on this subject. His
audacity, while bold does not go so
far as that but he does the next
best thing by undertaking to act as
adviser and dictator to the Dominion
Government. I will strike most peo-
ple that the Parliament of Canada is
quite competent to deal with this ques-
tion, irrespective of the views or wishes
of Mr. Martin and his colleagues in the
Manitoba Government. It is one which
belongs exclusively to the House of
Commons, and as every province of
the Dominion is fairly represented in
that House, it is for the representa,
tives of the people there to say what
fiscal policy shall prevail in Canada.
If a majority of them are opposed to
the Government's policy, they have the
power to turn the Government
out of office and to secure the accession
to office of men pledged to a different
policy. Manitoba has a voice in the
House of Commons, and it is for the
representatiyes of that Province to
support any policy they deem best in
the interest of the countrye at large.
Mr. Martin's proposartonlianitobe
Legislature to dictate a fiscal policy to
the Dominion Government, is nothing
short of impertinence. Let him and his
colleagues attend to matters with
which they are competent to deal, and
not meddle with .questions which are
exclusively within the power of the
Federal Government and Parliament.

Huron Farmers Off for Manitoba,
Cxx-rrox, March 26.—A special got -
(mist excnrsou truiu for Manitoba left
here yesterday at noon, via Toronto
and North Day, having on board abont
55 passengers, among whom were some
of the oldest and wealthiest settlers
from this vieinity. They took with
them about fourteen cars of stock and
eettlers' effects, all of which go to Man-
itoba points.
Cut off Her Left hand,
New York, March 25.—Mrs Mary
Giles, while crazy with liquor here
to -day cut of her left hand at the wrist
with a bread knife. She died at the
hospital in a few hours. The woman
had been on a spree and had driven
her two children from home. Her hus-
band left her a year ago because of
her intemperate habits.
Killed on the Railway.
Chatham, Ont., March 25.—John
Benjamin, aged 35 years, farm laborer,
while walking on the Grand Trunk
track a mile west of here, was struck.
and instantly killed by the accommod-
ation leaving here at 4.40 p. m. He
was walking on the north track, when
a freight train approached. He stepped
on the south track to avoid it, uncon-
scious of the accommodation cornine.
behind. His neck was broke.
A Verdict of Manslaughter,
Guelph, Ont., March 25.—At the
spring Assizes to -day Hurbert Leitch,
aged 60 years, was charged with hav-
ing intercourse with his daughter and
distroying an illegitimate child, the
result of the intercourse. The greater
part of the evidence is unfit for publi-
cation. Drs. Cormick, Herod and How-
ett, testified that in their opinion the
child was strangled, two finger marks
being observed under the left ear and
a thumb mark under the right ear.
The Jury returned a verdict of man-
slaughter.
Devoured by Wolves.
Winnipeg, Mane March 22.—A few
days ago a party of loggers stumbled
over a pile of bones on the south side
of the Lake of the Woods that were the
silent and ghastly record of the terrible
death of some human being. The bon-
es consisted of a human skeleton and
the skeletons of seven wolves. 'A re-
volver and seven empty cartridge
shells were lyino-near the former, and
it is supposed that the inan was attack-
ed by a pack of wolves, and had made
a desperate fight for life, killing seven
of their number before being overpow-
ered'by the ferocious beasts. An old
explorer named MeManus, who has liv-
ed at Rat Portage for years, has been
absent on the lake for a longer time
than usual,and it is feared that it is he
who has fallen a victim to the wolves.
An Indian from Rat Portage is also
inissinebe and it may be he who has met
such a horrible death, but the revolver
and remnants of clothing, it is said, re.
semble those worn by McManus. The
revolver also looks like the weapon. he
had when last seen.
Western Prairie Fires.
Stockton, Kan., March 25.—Sunday
morning a prairie fire was started in
Twin Mould township, Rooks county,
by sparks from a stovepipe. It was
,fanned by a ffirious wind, and an im-
'nonce amount of hay, grain and
stabling was burned. The flames leap-
ed across the Solomon river and were
nly stoped by the effbrts of the people
at the enbankment of the Missouri
Pacific Railroad north of here. An-
other fire was started by a man burn-
ing corn -stocks, and devastated a con-
siderable portion of north western Rook
county. More than 1,500 tons of hay
and many thousand bushels of grain
and a large amount of other property
were distroyed. The lops is placed at
$12,000. The farmer who sat the second
fire will be prosecuted.
Lincoln, Kan., March 25.—A prairie
fire burned over half a dozen large
farma'south of this city yesterday.
Barns residence, machinery, and much
stock and grain were destroyed. The
fire. jumped the Saline River. ten rods
wide, and only by the greatest efforts
was the city saved.
Another,fire eight miles south west of
the town, destroyed much farm proper-
ty and stock.
So far as known no lives were lost.

A. Fosdick, county surveyor, was shot
