Ontario’s Crops

WHEAT, BARLEY, OATS AND PEAS MUCH

BELOW THE AVERAGE,

The report of the bureau of industries for Ontario made from reports by nearly 690 correspondents throughout the province on August 12th, on the year’s crops and has just been issuec. It staves that the yield of fall wheat where thresh- ing has been reported, runs generally frou 10 to 18 bushels per acre, the average being about 16 bushels, or five bushels less than the average of the past five years. The general yield will probably not exceed two- thirds of the average crop, the estimate being 14,455,505 bushels against 20,635,- 343 for ‘the average. Spring wheat is almost a total failure in Western Ontario and only a few districts in the East report even a fair crop. The estimated yield is four millions five hundred shousand less than the average of the past five years. In barley the samples are remarkably bright in color, although the berry is reported rather small. The estimated tetal yield is

7,436,322 bushels, being 2,136,000 bush- els less than the average of the past five years, although the breadth in crops is fifty thousand acres nore. The estimated yield throughout the province of oats is vnly 30 bushels per acre, whereas the average yield of last year was 37 bushels. The total estimate is eight millions less than the yield of last year, and five millions less than the average of the past five years.

Peas, corn aud root crops are very poor, but the hay crop, owing to the increased acreage, will be a 1 little above the average.

osm Se Progress in Japa.

The thirty-five millions of heathens in- habiting the realm of the Mikado are imak- iug remarkable progress in the art of civilization. They long since adopted the decimal system in money, and are extend- ing the same handy method to measures of all kinds. Their system of lighthouses and buoys constructed during the past fifteen years now compares favorably with that of many western nations, Railw: ays, the first of which was opened in 1875, now extend over hundreds of miles. Telegraphs lines, electric lights, and even telephones are

being brought into use. The chief cities are connected with each other and with

Zurope by telegraph lines, the aggregate length of which, in 1883, was 12,470 miles. The Japenese postal system was, in 1871, modeled on the European system, and in 1882 there were 5,169 post offices, which in that year handled 44,729,699 letters, 29,- 533,36, post cards, 18 671. 570, newspapers, and 1, 128, 519 books packets ete. The educational system is very complete and thorough for the time it has been in operation in its modern form. The official statistics of 1882 shows 28,905 elementary schools, with 924 teachers: 71 normal schools, with 546 teachers; 2 universities, with 135 professors ; 98 technical schools, with 975 teachers, besides a thousand other schools, with twice that number of teachers. The universities have above 2,000 male students. For the elementary institutions |the school age is from 6 to 14, the aver: age attendance being alinost 49 per cent. With a small army organized on Europ- ean models and armed with breech loadin ig rifles, and a strong fleet including iron elad vessels, Japan is fairly provided with means of defence. In 1884 the army consisted of 37,790 officers and men of all arms, and the navy of 21 steamers and five sailing vessels. Six of these are armored vessels, carrying Krupp steel cannon. Three or four swift armored cruisers have been since added, capable of steaming 18 to 18} knots. Of coarse, with so much progress, Japan must needs have a n: itional debt. It had reached in 1883 some $335,000,000 gross,

or $260,000,000 net, but of this all but $8,904,488 was borrowed within the country. More than half of the foreign

debt, as it first existed, has been paid off, and the rate of interest reduced by two per cent. on the balance remaining unpaid. Now that Yokohama is to be the real term- inus of our Pacific Railway and steamship

isystem, it is to be hoped that Canada may

learn something from oe

Might vs. Right.

The Montreal Star abe rs from reading and observation, that the trouble with our Aneri- can friends is this: They cannot forget that they are a very big people and we a compara- tively small one ;and their vanity is hurt by the apparent ignoring of t! Ns great fact in the policy pursue d by the Canadian Government

and its agents. We proceed as if a small country might have rights no less than a large one—as if considerations of comparative

strength and greatness had nothing g whatever to do with questions of right. Our b ig neigh- bers oe not seem to unde rstand this ; at least, they cannot quite make up their minds to. fore; go the ee ges appertaining to their

superior size and st trength. This is not the most generous temper in the world, nor yet the most dignified ; but itisthe temper we have to deal with and take account of. That is no reason, howevei, for abandoning the policy we have adopted, namely, the strict enforcement of the treaty of 1818. Ou jneighbors may come toa better mind and consent to recognize that there may be

equality of rights even where there is marked disparity of military strength; if not, we must just face all the perils of the situation, secing that to give way to mere bullying,

would be to acknowledge that we ho ld our very eXistences as a sep arate pe wle on the meie sufferance of the American Republic.
