The significant feature or Friday's
debate in the House of Commons on

ed, in effect, that if 31r. Laurier were
Premier Mr. Oreenway would speedily
settle the seine)]. troable. This state-
ment bears 4.m, the very generally ae-
ctpted theory that the whole dispute
has limn the beginniug been a Liberal
plot, The intaither for Winnipeg in-
tredeeed the sehool bill into the Mani-
toba Legislature which inflicted the
grievance. and now ileelares in Par -

unIt"-' 31r, Lamier is the Premier.
Thie 4Iean:U.1(m is not. very ecimpli-
mentary to the geed faith of Mr.
Ureenway if it is made with his assent.
Mr. ; lart hi explains that 3Ianitoba
-will remove the trouble out of Mr.
Laurier's• way, not beemese he is a
Liberal, but because he is eueh a
splendid statesman. Perhaps within
the wet, few days Mr. Martin may
turn lint (t) be a very had prOphet, for
it is still hopel that amicable. terms

CtiVNTY CO FNCIL REFORM.
Hon. 31r. Hardy, in tvsponse to well -
expressed piddle opinion, has brought
in a bill to improve county councils,
in substitution for .the measure first
laid before the Legislature. Instead of
being elected by the MVOS and depu-
tiee. as at first proposed, the new '
snetieure provides that the election of
county councillors shall be by direct
popular vote. Each county is to be
divided into districts, according to the
number of members to be elected, but
there will be a radical eeduction in the
number of members now qualified to
sit. Each district will elect two rep-
resentatives, who will each hold office
for a term of two years. The elections
will he held at the same time as the
manicipel elections. thenominations of
eandidates being made with thecounty
clerk. as in the first draft of the bill.
Every elector, will be entitled tOtwo
votes. which lie an give te mut or two
candidates„ as he sees fit. There will
be no gerrymandering, as the bill pro-
videe for two boards of commissioners
—one for comities east of Toronto and
the other for comities west—consist-
ing of four judges, whose duties will
be to define the boundaries. The come
anissioners will be appointed and. paid
by the Government.. This is a follow-
ing out of the British principle. In
the amended shape Mr. Hardy's pro-
posals will no doubt meet witiggeneral
indorsation and become law.
NOTE'S AND COMMENTS.
---
A table of the horse trade of Great
Britain shows that the importation of
horses during 1801 numbered 23,100
, head, of which 5.425were from Canada,
that 'colony supplying more than any
other colony, the United States, Ger-
many.' and Russial following in me
.der named. In 1895 the imports of
hoeses reached 34,157, andthe Dominion
led again, furnishing 12,008. There
were but a. few from Russia, while
•. there was a consideitable decrease
- from Germany, and from, the . United
' States there were 10,41, as compared
• with 4,823 the preceding year.
The revenue for the pat month
shows the gratifying increase of $300;-
- .000, emnpated with February, 1805. A
• quarter of a niilhion of this is due to
•••.custenes and $50,000 to excise. The
total revenee for the eight months of
e. the Year is exactly two tin millions ahead
• of e same period last year, while the
expenditure is one million less, a net
•
increase of three millions in the eight
enonths. Cotrespendingly, the expen-
diture eu capital account has decreas-
ed $6:30,000, less than for the •sanie
period lastyear, The net debt in Feb-
ruary decreased $070,000.

The Ith of March was settling day
in the wholesale drygoode trade
throughout the Dominion. Merchants
report, that payments were better than
they expected. There was a large
amount of drygoods paper due, and
although assistance was asked for by
,a few country merchants, the bulk of
the obligations were fairly well. met.
Payments we reported BIOWer in the
. city than in the country, but Toronto
retailers have met their obligations to
the satisfactioa of the wholesalers.
Banks, as usual, report paper as well
mot as ever, and do not anticipate any
„trouble in the near. futere.
A physieian at Owen Sound has SOEtt
a communication to the Provincial
Health Department, which contains
some haforination regarding lunap-jaw
in the County of Grey. Three boarders
in a hotel in Chesley contracted cans
cer, one of whom died, and the other
two are in a dangermis condition. The
meat supplies were procured from a
farmer, whose cattle were affected
with lump -jaw. The Provincial Board
of Health will investigate the matter
immediately. ,Another letter to the
Board from the Mayor of Seaforth
urges that the Government be pre-
vailed upon to introduce a bill at the
present session a the Legislature, pro-
viding for the establishment of slaugh-
ter houses and abattoirs in differeut
sections of Ontario.

The day of the Salvation Army in
America is drawing to a close; Alt
the ability and resources of the old
General and his family will not stand
against the influenee of the "American
Commanders," as Ballington Booth.
and his wife are called by their follow-
ers. The strength of the patriotic
sentiment of the people of the United
States will be called into activity to
maintain what will without doubt be
called the _American Army,and the
British organization will languish and
die in spite of anything that can be
done. it is devoutly to be hoped that
in the process there will not be the
bitter recriminations that so frequent-
ly arise from religious disputes and
which bring contempt upon the cause
of Christianity.
The amendment to the Remedial
Bill whirl), Major Hughes proposes to
introducer which, involves a change
in the 13. N, A. Ad, Weald forever
settle the sehool queetioa, if the Inn,
perial Parliament would sanction it.
The feature of the proposal is that for
the Dominion of Canada there should
be one system of National education,
embracing the intellectual branches,
including mathematics, history, geo-
graphy, English, and other languages,
literature, the arts and the sciences ;
theprinciples Of morality ; and poll -
Heal and sanitary science. Religious
instruction shoula not form any part
of the edueation of the schools ; but
those who have control of the building
would be itt liberty to allow the struet-
mess to be used for religious purposes
if they chose.

The Mail Tuesday morning publishes
the following from Ottawa:— "Mr.
Laurier is Making the fight of his life
to keen the French Liberals in line
with hun and his shifty school policy.
As persuasion has in several instances
adready failed, and as there is danger
of a spread a the defection, the Lib-
eral leader has now decided to resort
to eoercion. The threat he has offered,
aceording to a well-informed member
of Parliament, is that if his friends do
not stand by him he will resign the
leadership of the Opposition. They
have, therefore, to choose between
making the school question a party
feet ball for their leader tokickaround
as he ehoosest, or to throw the Liberals
into 0 panic just before an election by
his resignation. This is the argument
that is being used to bring the doubt-
ful Rouges to a frame of mind to vote
for the six months' hoist. It reveals
an extraordinary state of affairs in
the Liberal camp."
