NewSPAPERs IN 1888.—Ffom the edition of Geo. P. Rowell & Co’s “‘American Newspaper Directory,” published April 2nd (its twentieth year), it appears that the Newspapers and Periodicals of all kinds issued inthe United States and Canada, now number 16,310, showing a gain of 890 during the last twelve months, and of 7,136 in ten years. The pub- lisherg of the Directory assert that the impres- sion that when the proprietor ef a newspaper undertakes tu state what has been his exact cifculation, he does not generally tell the truth, is. an erroneous one; and they con- spieuously offer a reward of $100 for every instance in their book for this year, where it can be shown tiat the detailed report received from a publisher was untrue.

‘DOMINION PARLTAMEN

npsrtaut ide sures Introduced.

Orrawa, April 4,

Hon. Mr. Thompson, Minister of Justice, to-day introduced four of the promised Government measures. These were,—An act to abolish forfeiture for treason and fe’oxy; in explanation of which it was stated that in place of forfeiture the estates of persons incarcerated for the. offences were to be administered by persons ap- pointed for the purpose, and out of the proceeds of estate, compensation was to be taken for injuries inflicted by the convict. An $Act to amend the Act respecting elec- tions of membersof the House of Com- mons. This comprises the principal provi- sions of the bill of last session, and also in the direction of relieving candidates for disability arising under the present law from trivial acts of persons in no wise their agents, and committed against their ex- press desire. Seven years’ disqualification is prescribed for persons guilty of illegal practices. An Act to _ consolidate and amend the law Srespecting fraud ulent marks on merchandize. This is an adoption of the English Act, 1887, and which the Colonies have been asked to adopt. In the Act protection by criminal process is confined to registered trade marks and summary conviction has been sub- stituted for indictment. An act to amend the act respecting punishments, pardons and commutation of .sentences. This is merely to remedy a defect in the present law in its application to the Northwest Territories.

The Waiting Time.

There are days of deepest sorrow In the season of our life ; There are wild, despairing moments, There are hours 6{ mental strife, There are times of stony anguish, When the tears refuse to fall ; But the waiting time, my brothers, Is the hardest time of all.

Youth and love are oft impatient, Seeking thingsjbeyond their reach ; And the heart grows sick with hoping, Ere it learns what life can teach.

For, before the fruit be gathered, We must see the blossoms fall : And the waiting time, my brothers,

1s the hardest time of all.

Loving once, and loy ing ever, It is sad to watch for years

For the light whose fitful shining Makes a rainbow of our tears.

lt is sad to count at morning All the hours to evenfal! ;

Oh, the waiting time. my brothers, Is the hardest time of al).

We can bear the heat of conflict, Though the sudden crushing blow

Beating back our gathered forces For a moment lay us low,

We may rise again beneath it, None the weaker for our fall ;

But the waiting time, my brothers, Is the hardest time of all.

For it wears the eager spirit, As the salt waves wear the stone, And Hope’s gorgeous garb grows threadbare, Till its brightest tints are gone. Then, amid youth’s radiant tresses, Silent snows begin to fall ; Oh, the waiting time, my brothers, Is the hardest time of all!

Yet at last we learn the lesson, That God knoweth what is best, And a silent resignation Makes the spirit calm and blest ; For, perchance a day is coming, For the changes of our fate, When our hearts will thank Him meekly That He taught us how to wait.

What it Means.

The following quotation is from speeches of Mr Wiman:

‘* Canada is the natural market for the manufacturers of the United States.

“Commercial Union means to create -a market for the excess of U. 8. production which protection has stimulated.”

‘The extent and character of the tariff would necessarily have to be left to the Congress of the United States, they being the larger representative body, while the total amount realized from its enforcement of similar internal revenue taxes should be put into one pool and the sum, realized divided by per capita proportion according to population.” .

‘* Commercial Union means that which would have been accomplished, so far as trade and commerce is concerned, by the extension of the, Declaration of Independance over tite whole continent instead of over less than one- half of it.” ;

** Canada under Commmercial Union could no longer resist the attractive forces which would prevail towards a political absorption.”

‘** If England should not consent to it, . it would be the most momentous. pause.in the history of Canada, and then, as I said -to Chamberlain, look out for another Boston tea- party.”

‘“T come to youto offer you half a coa- tinent. The largest part of the British Empire shall be given to the United’ States without tax, if you so desire,”

‘If England refuses to allow the measure, then we will say to the British Crown: We have no further use for you im North America.
