Although there has been a good deal of bueiness done by the law•making machine at Ottawa'fluring the past week, there., bee not been auy legislation of a stirring or novel character introduced. The greater part of the time hasbeen taken up in dis- cussing and passing items of supply, and it is hoped to get through with the Supply Bill tide week. Several private measures! have also been considered and advanced a stage. Among these may be mentioned Mr. CharIton's bill, prohibiting the publica- tion and sale of Sunday papers, which was passed. It is said that an arrangement lies been reached between the leaders on both sides that the only Government business to be taken up this session will be' the esti- mates, the new tariff resolutions, and 'the plebiscite bill. When these get through, prorogation 'will take place. The Finance Minister promises the tariff rerolutions on Tuesday next, and it is expected the discue- igen onethem will last about a week. These passed and the estimates voted and the - House will likely make short work with the other business, and a is probable that the Howe will be ready for prorogation early in June. This is all the more likely also, aS both the Premier and the leader of the Op- -. position are anxious to get away early in June no se to attend the Queen's jubilee celebration in England, and although 13114. nese could be conducted without them, it is not likely that anything of special imp or tance will be -done after they __leave, Str Oliver Mowat seems to be the- hardest working man either in or out of the Gov- ernment, as he has introduced several hp- _ portant bine into the Senate. Of course, after they pass this august body, they will "still have to come before the COE:MUMS and be passed there. Some of them are meas- ures which should cause considerable dis- cussion, and if the old gentleman intends to h have -them become law this year, the -; session may be prolonged more than many 'now think. It is possible, however, that they may not go further than the Senate 'this session and that they Will be reserved for the consideration of the Commons until next session. An item 'of considerable 'comment this week, has been the report of the special ecimmission - appointed some time ago to miquire into the affairs of' the Kingston penitentiary. The report is a salt one, and shows that institution to be a sink hole of corruption and to be one of the worst and most extravagantly managed institutions in the world. The report recommends the diemissal of the principal officials frein the Walden downwards. The coat of main- taining prisoners at this institution bas been nearly double the cost of maintenance lit the Central Prison, Toronto, which is under Provincial management. The House has recess from Friday until Tuesday, to perroit as many members as possible to spend the holiday at their homes. HURON EXPOSITOR the less pretentious local establishment s. before April 23, it is conceded by store - There are, to be sure, birgains and snap keepers that they will Soon get batik to 5 and 10 cent ylugs or packages, instead ot 6 shots; held out as baits, where goods are end 12, as now charged. The fact is, the sometimes told for leis than their actual value, but to make up for losses of this kind, higher prices have to be obtained for other articles than if thine bargains were not given. What we desire most to im- press upon the public, however, is the fact that every dollar which =sterner' of these departmental stores send to them is just so much taken from their own lotial,dealers,and goes to decrease the value and importance of the local market, and hence to decrease the value of their own property. The -value of every person's property is enhanced in pro- portion to the proximity in which it is to some- good market, and hence it is in the in- terest of every resident to try and build up and increase the value and importance of their own market town as much as possible. Patronising the city departmental stores is not the way to do this. But it is the most speedy way of ruining the market town, depreciating the value of property in and contiguous to and what is worse. still, of building up 'huge monopolies which will ulti- inately be in a position to teke the country by the throat and force it to do its bidding. In these and other ways which will suggest themselves to every reader,'every spurcheeer who turns from our local dela= to patron- ise the city departmental stores, will in the long run lose vastly more than they will make berth° bargains supposed to be given by the departmeatal stores, even were they vastly greater than they are claimed to be. .To convince the people of these truths is, we believe, the best way to overcome the threatened danger resulting from the de- partmental stores. It can not possibly be in the interests of the country that the business of the country should be °omen' trated in the hands of a few individuals in a few places. Thistle the inevitable reeult of the departmental stores, and consequently it is in the interests of the whole people to fight egainst them, as those who neglect their next neighbor to bpild up a monopoly many miles away, are not acting in their own best interetts oe in the interests of the country, as present gain, if any, will, most assuredly be attended by future lois. Sunday Street Cars For Toronto. Ever since the introduction of electric cars in Toronto there has been a keen con- troverey in progress as to whether the cars 'should be permitted to run on' Sunday. _In this respect Toronto has been noted for what has been termed its " quiet Sundays." This was due to the faet that street cars had never been allowed to run in that city on Sunday. A very considerable portion of the citizens were anxious that in that re- spect the city should remain as it had long been. Another section of the citizens have been clamoring for a Sunday service. Sev- eral votes of the people have been taken,and always, heretofore, the anti -car people have come out victorious. Another vote wee taken on Saturday, after an exahmely eir citing campaign, extending ovei two weeke or more, the car people carrying the day by a majority of 39.6 votes, so that, hereafter the street cars will be run in Toronto on Sunday. The readers of Toronto papers, at any rate, will not be sorry that the contest is over, for, daring the past twe weeks, the greater part of these papers was taken up with street car logic. The clergy and church people were, principally, opposed to the cars. Only tWo of the Toronto papers fav. ored them. The cause of the victory for the cars is, no doubt, correctly set out by the Globe, when it says : ; The War Over. The war hetween Turkey and Greece may now be said to be closed. Skirmishisig at different peints has been going on during the past Week. This was due to the fact that Turkey was loath to pull off. Greece was quite'eatiefied to ory quits, and was willing to agree to almost any terms. I The other powerh, however, are interested in not allowing Turkey to get too much,' and they submitted: the conditions on Whiclh they would permit Glreece to settle. These terms were not satisfactory to Turkey, which assuined an arrogant attitude, made exhorbitant' demands and commenced mak- ing preparations to continue the war to the bitter end unless her conditions were com- hlied with, hind she manifested a disposition to set the other poivers at defiance. In all the,negotiatlione &Mitt, stood aloft and took little or no Part in them. Turkey evidently misinterpreted the inaction of Russia, and supposed thet she would have her assistance and backing in - any demands she might make. Thiiii made her arrogant. But,_ she evidentiy calculated wrongly, for at' the last moment the Russian bear put down his paw and to14 the arrogant Turk that het need expect either sympathy oesupport from 'him, as he ca-insided with the other powers in the settlement they had proposed. The Turk at -mice recalled his war forces, stop- ped hostilities and agreed to the terms stipu- lated. Thii ends the struggle. Departmental Stores. -1, A great deal has recently been written and said in the press and elsewhere about the departmenal stores. Most of what hes been thus field and Written has been con- demnatory or these institutional., In fact it would seem hat but few nen be got to eay anything in heir favor, and still they ap- pear to growland flourish. We presume it is scarcely necessary to explain what ie meant by it departmeetal store. The de- partmental store - flourishes in the United States as welt as in Canada, and the outcry against theml is as great there as it is here, and still thei flourish. That they I are pro,. ductive of greater harm in the country thaie they produce of good, seems to be generally admitted. And various schemes have been suggested to lessen the : evil infhiences of these establishments. Some propose legisl, lation, by which they can be taxed to death, or at all events considerably crippled. Others think that by _thoroughly exposing the deceptive not to say fradulent, methods by which they do business, their evil influ- ence may be lessened. It is pcssible, that while both these remedies and others that have been suggested might prove effective, we are doubtfal if anything but the good sense of the people will serve to lessen teeny Our Educational System. It seems to be a popular pastime hist now with the editors of a few Conservative papers and annonymons correspondents in these papers to malign the public school teachers, the children who attend these schools and the educational system gener- ally. This is done for the purpose of, get. ting slap at the Minister of Education, who is offensive to them politically, and through him to make capital against the Government. These nascrupulons par- tizans do.not seem to care how mach injury they do our splendid educationel system so long as they injure the Government, and as they know the deep concern people gen- erally have for educational matters, they select the educational management for special attack, as they ceneider it the most vulnerable point. Thein parties say the children of to -day are not's° well behaYed or so well managed as they used to be ; that their are not so well educated, and that the teacher*. are much less efficient. Well, the testimony of trained educationalists, who are in constant touch with the children, schools and teachers, should be better evidence on these points than the unsupported assertions of the editore and annonymous correspondeete already refer- red to. Here is the testimony of some of these and more of a similar nature could be added did space permit. Impeders who have had an experience extending over may- eral decades take issue with the detractors. They say the charges, are libelous. " Any man," says Inspector Carson, of London, " who thinks that children are not better behaved now than they formerly were, would do well to have himself carefully ex- amined by & physician who is a specialist in nervous and mental diseases." Inspector Ballard, of Hamilton, says that " increased attention to the training and selection of teatimes has year by year given the titaff a greater degree of efficiency, and consequent. ly produced a much higher order of school disciplinediet Inspector Tytler, of -Guelph, says, "The general behavior of pupils in the school room, in the platy ground and on the public highways is better. There is leas quarreling ; the larger echolars are more considerate towards, and freer to concede, the rights of hthe emaller ones ; material degr upon the coon people like to the injury they are inflicting ry. It is said that many be fooled. This Inay be,.but there is such a thing as overdoing even the fooling burners. If their methods of doing business are deceptive, as we believe they are, and if, on the whole, they do not give full value for the money they procure front the people, t4se facts will ultimately be- come impressed upon those who patronise them, and their patronage will be with- drawn. In thel meantime, we see no remedy for the evil, other than to instruct and eda- cate the people: That these departmental stores are an in- jury to busine4 generally must be evident to every obsereing person. The result of their operationii is to close up the smaller retail establishments, not only in the cities, where they exiat, but throughout the coun- try generally. 'Not only this, but they are injuring the wholesale trade as well, as they import direct, end in this way do not pat- ronize thowholesale dealers. As a result of this centralizing process, the trade of the country is not only being centralized tn the large cities, but in few hands. must ultimately is also being concentrated The consequence of this be a few 'huge mercantile and trading monopolies, which will control the. trade of the country, and which, after they haVe destrciyed all competition, except whet exists between themselves, will com- mence the bleeding operation. They will then hate) tht. people at_ their mercy, and will use their poWer to rob those who built them up, and the innocent will have to suf- fer with the guilty. It will shortly be with the departmental, stores as it is now with the railways. They will constitute huge and howerful and will take ad- vantage of the peiver they have gained to enaich themselvee at the expense of the pm:t- itle! . The way for the people to avoid this diinger is to stop dealing with or patronizing them. If people obtained the great bargains SC/M13 suppose they do, it might be difficult tet bring about this result. But it has been demonstrated over and over again, that on thetwhole, 0/2 a year's purchases, for in- stance, the pateons of the departmental store will not do tter than the patron of manufaeturer hail to make new moulds to reduce his sizes for every plug or packege, and thie takes some time to figure out east the little morsel that has to be taken off to square the 10 cents per pound duty. An- other thing : Nine out of ten retailers con- fess to having been loaded up with goods just previous to April 23, and now ssy they will want little for months to come. A meeting of the Executive of the On- tario °one costive Union was held at Ot- tans one " ay last week. Mr. Whitney, the lesder of t e Ontario Opposition, and his colleagues were in olose coneultaaon - with Sir Charles Tupper. and= the Dominion lead- ers. As a result of this meeting, as etated by the Mail, it was decided that Mr. Whit- ney, accompanied by some of his Side" and a number of Dominion members, should begin a tour of the province next month. Dates were arranged es follows : London, 7th June (Monday) ; Aylmer, fith June (Tues - Chatham, 10th (Thursday) • Windsor, llth (Friday.) ; Exeter, 12th (Saturday) ; St. Catharines, 14th (Monday). " People voted for a car service on Sun- day just as they would have voted for one on the other six days of the week, because they desired the mune of moving from one part of the city to the other easily and cheaply. Since the first vote on Sunday care was taken the people have grown acme- tomeetto a very rapid and complete service; they have got into the habit of jumping on a oar and travelling from one to five miles, and when the Sunday came they chafed against being compelled to walk or to forego the journey, whether its purpose were for health, pleasure,. friendship or duty. The extensive use of the bicycle has had a simi- lar effect. The wheelnian, being used to travel swiftly and easily every day in the week in fine weather, begsn to regerdt it as e hardship to be kept indoors on a wet or stormy Sunday, and we think, also to do him justice, that he began to feel 'that he was enjoying an unfair advantage as against the person who could not use a bicycle at all. Finally, many people were influenced by the belief that Sunday cars would at- tract visitors to the city, increase the value of suburban property, and generally bring about an improvement of business." Editorial Notes and Comments. At the Conservative convention in West Huron, on Wednesday, Mr. Joseph Beek, ex -Reeve of Colborne, was selected as the candidate for the Local Legislature. There have been some doubts expressed as to whether or not a bill providing for the taking of a plebiscite on prohibition ;of the liquor traffic would be passed during the present session of Parliament. These doubts have been set at rest by a statenient made in the Senate a fews days ago. In reply to a question by Sir Mackenzie Bowell, Sir Oliver Mowat said the bill was then in the hands of the law olerk, and would be intro- duced in a. few days. In referring to the stream of delegations which visit Ottawa, a correspondent in that city gets it down in this way 1!

When approached by a half dozen or 130, who ask the wheteabouts of Whip James Sutherland, you know without asking. that the atoresaid people want a medium ofintroduction to Mr. Laurier or a lieutenant." The Toronto Telegram givee the Conser- vative party some wholesome advice. It says " There is Ino sense in any clamour for reorganization of the Conservative party at this present time. The materials for a successful re -organization are not in sight. The issues which would restore a ¥AY 21089 re -organized party to power Wine not yet developed. There is no denying that the Coneervativ&party is just at Mount in a hole; but that is no reason why the party should deepen the hole by its! premature struggles to elimb out. It is true policy for the Conservative party to rept a while, in the hopes that it will be ruched from ad- versity by the enemy. An imMediate and forcible re•organization of the party might be good policy if Parliament Was about to dissolve. But the day of this Palliament's dissolution is far off, and the Conservative party bad better do its beat to discharge its duties to the Opposition, and leave time, which develops new issues, to : previde the party with the men to meet these One evening last week Mr. J.P. Whitney, leader of the Opposition in the Ontario Legislature, delivered an address before a French-Cenadian Consermitive society in Ottawa, and in which he distributed Liberal doses of nifty to the good people of that nationality. This causes the Toronto ,Tele- gram to -remark " Considering how ex- tremely slight is the probability that French-Canadians anywhere will compli- ment Mr. Whitney's party with their votes, Mr. Whitney is simply wasting .time in complimenting the French•Canadians at Ottawa with his kind words." • ' We noticed last week the closing down of his tobacco factory in Montreal by ldr. W. C. McDonald, the millionaire tobacco manufacturer of Montreal. Since then, Mr. tuier of the same kind,has also closed down his establishment. Of course the new tariff is assigned as the cause for the, closing up of these establishments. But it would seem that there are other moee potent reasons. The real reason is now given as follows : Though the price of tobacco by peckage or plug is now a trifle higher than News of the Week.
