expressing the belief that an union of the better elements of both parties to carry on the l"rovincial Gevcrnnient is not feasible

but ou the contrary is chiuierlcal and ridi- culous. Both the party organs naturally distrust the parties to which they are op- posed, and both have an interrst in main-

It is contended by some very earned men that the Brat year ofthe first century was as a matter of fact the year Oand was not counted as 1 till it was com- pleted; If that is so then the moment- we wrote 1000 that moment the year 1900 was completed and we werein the 20th century. It is very doubtful if_the deepest research will ever resolve this doubt and for that reason it is now generally conceded that
