thrust upon the Mivistry, and a weeks of hard fighting and acrimonious

talk will, be spent on Dwyer Gray’s im- prisooment. The Egyptian Question will be the text for a prolonged discus- sion ov England’s present and future policy in Egypt, and the ministry will find their actions bitterly attacked by the Tories. Ope remarkable feature of the session will be the influence exerted oa the legislature by outside org#>izs- tions. are becoming more and more important every year. The Chamber of Commerce meets, and by a majority of two to one, calls fora correction of the procedare in parliameut. The resolution calis attention to ‘the growing inability of the House of Commons to give ade- quate attention to questious of ‘import- ance te the commercial interests of the country.” and urging, ‘the desirability of dealing practically with nianifest evils affecting the mercantile community.” Then the Amalgamated Trades Union has its resolution. The Birmingham Caucus has its programme ; and dozens of similar organizations press themselves upon the attention of parliament. As the closure resolution has now become a necessary preliminary to all other changes, and as there is likely to be stern Oppositioa to it from both Conservatives and Heme Rulers, the question will

probably keep the attentiou of Parlia-|&

meui till the Christmas Holidays.

Agricultural Association.

Tue suggestion of the Lieutevant Governor respecting, the establishment of au Agricultural and Industrial Asso- ciation should not be forgotten. Our farmers must now rise\to a higher plane. Instead of producing \and selling raw grains aud roots, must turn their attention more particulgrly to the rearing of improved stock and the production of the finer kinds of food—eggs, butter, cheese, poultry, sheep, cattle, pigs, etc. No matter what the price, it doesn’t pay to grow oats for market; for although they may bring in 4 tle movey they impoverish the laud, uch the larger part. of the oats ground upon, the farm should be ‘fed to the

benefit of ike manure

d so be kept ‘in heart.” Our farme

are beginning

r plane, much will be .gained by co-operation and association... A permanent institution such as his Honor proposes, is in fact required ; and we have, throughout the Province, plenty of intelligent and pro- gressive farmers to form a good one.

What we want is a mpans of obtaining and disseminating ioformation regarding the best known methodsjof advancing the agriculture interests of fhe Province and of awakening a keen, l#vely, enthusiastic interest in farm work aud farm product- ions.

The collection of facts and statistics of dairying, breeding, the rotation of crops, the best methods of feeding, and manuripg ; and planting. the publication of such information, the holding of ex- hibitions,—all these ought to be done‘ and might be done by an Association such as that proposed by Governor Haviland.

It seems to us, too, that to have, in connection with our Local Government, a Commissioner of Agriculture, would be eminently proper in this A gricultural country; and we are very sure that in our college and higher schools, instruc- tions in the science of Agriculture should have a more prominent place than it has.

The Pamphlet Season.

The season is approaching when noted writers of fiction find agreeable employ- ment in writing up the blueberry swamps of the United States, and in graphically describing stone-filled soil as the richest avd most productive in America. That our cousins across the border should do this, is not to be wondered at. But the fact that these scribblings should be quoted by Canadian journals, aud ac- cepted as genuine, shews a remarkable lack of honesty and patriotism on the} ° part of the quoters. Every well inform- ed person knows that these pamphlets are prepared by paid scribes—men who have never seen the places they scribble about, but are paid well for clothing in gay verbal attire the skeleton statistics that are handed to them by real estate speculators, railway maguates, and a host of frauds. Florida is annually ex- tolled as a glorious country for fruit- growing, the very paradise of smal capitalists Owning an orciard. For sev- eral years this fraud was perpetrated on the Canadians. The sons of farmers left their fertile farms and settled in Florida. The rich harvests were long in coming, , and the golden returns proved to be my- thical. Solid Canadian money, won

from Canadian soil, was lost to these rovers, who gained nothing but ex- a from the change. Even the

Nearly every farm cau be improved so as to yield twice its present preduction. The outlay coincident with shifting from one place to avother, could be profitably employed in improving present holdings. Men are chary of spending a thousand dollars on their own but will willingly spend that amount in settling in some new place of which they know very little, and which often brings them to ruin, This un- settled feeling aroused, to a great extent, by the reading of pamphlets written by land speculators. Farmers must take the writings with a great deal of caution. They glitter with tempting baits, but there is very little gold in the composition, Stick to your farms. Make the old homestead resound with the noise of your industry. Spend liber- aliy in its improvement; and im the end you will be mueh better off than your frieuds, the rolling stones, travelling onwards in a vain attempt to gather moss, ee A Criminal Return.

is

The criminal returns just issned by the Metropolitan Police of London are important to reformers in all parts of the lobe.

One-half of the burglaries committed in 188} were in houses where no person had been left in charge, and 842 robber- ies were committed throwgh doors or windows ‘left open or insecure. From this itis evident that the careless and negligevt are attacked in preference by

:

|

gee of

the robber.

The tables in the report showing the age, sex, occupation, and instruction of persons tried and convicted are especialiy interesting. As we should expect, the greatest number of offences are commit- ted by young men between the ages of twenty and twenty-five; but women do bot attain their miximum criminality till after thirty. As regards education, the worst results are with those who read

perfectly. Next bsolutely | th ignorant, while those” ae. Feud and write well stand much better in the py

As a crowning triumph for the educa- tionists we find only eleven persons described as having superior iustructiov out of a total of 2,868 convicted of crime, aud it may be remarked that not one of these isa woman. There can be no doubt as to the truth of the old proverb that a little knowledge is a dangerous thiog, but a sound education, enabling a boy or girl to find employment suitable to his or her taste and capability, is the cheapest and surest way to keep prisons empty and criminal expenses low

Concerning trades, we learn that crim inals professing no trades head the list. After these come the ordinary day labourer, Drivers and bricklayers stand exceptionally high on _ the list, followed by clerks, servants, carpenters, painters, and coach drivers. In many such cases the masters were to blame, having left valuable goods uvnecessarily exposed and their employees were paid low wages. The largest number of com- mittals is, of course, under the head of drunk and disorderly characters, and we are glad to see that, although the total number annually increases, the per- centage on the population of the metro- polis is rapidly Jessening. For every thousand persons there were 204 convic tions in 1831, which sank gradually to 12 in 1839, and in 1843 and 1867 the number was slightly below 5. From 1872 to 1879 rather more than 7 persous in every 1,000 were convicted anbually of drunkenness. In 1880 this was de- creased to 6:3 per 1,000, and in 1831 to 56 per 1,000. This will encourage the temperance reformers to go ou in their work of social reform. They are evi- dently approaching the root of the matter.

Egypt's Tribute to Turkey.

Engiand has taken upon herself the Herculeau task of endeavouring to sweep away the abuses which have grown up in Egypt, or rather which have been planted there by Turkish and English speculators. One thing now seems pretty certain, and that is the Sultan's authority must be overthrown. aud Egypt must be freed from: the tyranny of paying its anoual tribute to Turkey.

The amount paid, annually, by tie Egyptian Government to Turkey is aboui $3,500,000, being about 8 per cent. of the whole revenue of the country, which in 1880 was about $42.000,000. Consider- ing the enormous amouvt Egypt has to pay foreign bondbolders, the Turkish

tribute becomes an altogether unbear-

ale burden imposed on the nation, and iis remission would save the tax-payer about two cents iu every twenty-five now extorted from him. The wonder is that the Egyptiansdid not rise im rebellion

long ago. Mr, J. B. dll ae a it is geverally be- in the

Somewhat Seseo and Flippant.

The Rev. Heury 1 Ward Beeober is always doing something of a lively cha- racter. Recently he withdrew from the New York and Brooklyn Congregational Association, on account of holding ad vanced views. Hefexpresses}his belief in the sounduess of the doctrine of evolu- tion, and he has very lax ideas about the punishment awaiting the trausgressor. He does not lide his doubts, but oftcn puts them forth in a decidedly terae way. lie has a happy—or unhappy—koaek of being very candid in expressing the foibles of his friends, A-few days ago he referred to the Republican State ticket in terms the reverse of compli- mentary. This proved too mich for one of the leading members of his ¢hureh— Mr. Amos B, Learned. Amos warmed to the occasion and sent the following complimentary letter to his. pastor :—

‘Dear Mr. Beronsr,—You made an ass of yourself yesterday. —

Amos F. Learnpp.’’

But the undaunted Beecher was a match for the sturdy Republican, eveu on the ground of epistolary warfare. Beecher answers :—

‘‘ Dear Str,~—The Lord saved yon the trouble of making an ass of yourself by thaking you an ass at the beginning—and His work stands sure. “

Henry Warp Beecres.”

Thus ends the correspondence. Elevat-

ing, isn’t it?

Bravo Winnipeg!

Winnipeg is bound to make a move in the world andto brighten things up. The Examiner's special despatches show that Winnipeg has been enjoying the calm steady illumination of the electric light. She is jubilant over her harvest, her press, her musical ability, aud her electric light. Winnipeg sounds a uote of warning for the Winter. The Winuipeg Times, after reviewing the harvest, concludes with a piece of advice to those who intend to go to Manitoba next year. The advice consists of six words as follows :—**Don’t come before May or June,”
