The Franchise.

Tue Grits in this Province loudly protest against the reduction of our | over-large Legislature, on the ground | that we bave “* manhood suffrage.” They say that with a franchise so liberal, aud only one Legislative Chamber, the inter- | ests of property-holders would be en- | dangered. But in Ontario, the Grits hold a very different opinion. There there is| already but one Legislative Chamber ;

| or try to pronounce it, agree.

What is the Right Pronunciation.

We are sometimes at a loss for the proper pronunciation of the common word—envelopes. Scarcely two persons

| whom we have he ard pronounce the word,

Some say envelopes, some enyelopes; some pro; nounce it envelopes, others who affect

French say ongveloves. We have also

‘heard envelopes and ongvelopes'; and we

have also heard, among the unlettered, the word developes. Is it not possible that the latter ward might properly be substituted for evvelopes? ‘The exceed- ingly useful little pieces of paper ofien

envelope and finally develope many

and the Grits there have edopted as | mighty secrets, and wonderful transac-

@* plank of their platform, a proposition | tO@ make the franchise as wide as| jt how is in this Province, Here is a reso] n which their Leader, a few days ago submitted to the Ontario Legislature, and whieh their representatives voted for in en bloc :

“That the Liberal party of this Province atands pledged to, extend the franchise;

that if this’ House should now legislate to !

extend the franchise any ;law passed for that purpose could not be brought into operation in time for the coming general election; that any considerable exiension of the franchise is especially a subject upon which the people ovght to be consulted ; that the approaching general election will afford an opportunity for so consulting and ascertaining the wishes of the people; but the House, meanwhile, does not hesitate to

* gffifm.its opinion that no such extension of the franchise will prove satisfactory which does not, With proper checks and safeguards give the fight to véte to alljclasses who can fairly and reasonably claim to be en- dowed therewith.” ‘Thase ‘twho can fairly and reasonably c'aim” the privilege of the franchise are.

« the men of the Province ; and to the men -taeeordiagly, the Grit) party in Ontario have ‘bdémud themselves to extend the franchise. Ip other words they declare that. they will practically introduce “manhood suffrage” ; and they say vot a word about “establishing the Legislative Council in order that the interests of

property may be protected !”’

Model Farming in Ontario. Tne Model Farm of Ontario has, it ‘seems, been badly managed. The

Parmer’s Advocate says: * The farm is a‘urally untit for tests; it is distant _frem., the station and is a curse to the surfounding country, being filled with Canada thistles; the road around the farm, was thick with them that the inhabitants desired to compel the Govero-

ment to have them cut, but the Govero

ment were vot liable for the taxes for cutting thistles, as farmers are, so the thistles went to seed. The new buildings “erected are not put up nearly as well as the old ones were. They evince neither

artistic skill nor convenience, bAt are a conglomerated mass of j!l-constructed aud in. many cases useless buildings. ,They bave not the order, neatness, de- sige, or comfort that may be found in sfmauy farmer’s establishments; in fact, they stand'as a monumental disgrace ‘rather than as pillars*of honour. The dairy reports have been pronounced unreliable, aud as for the seed report, it has been worse than incorrect.” The Ontario Government has expended $450,- 009 upon the institution, the result being the thistles here referred to and, according.to the Hamilton Spectator (1) ‘*@ report proviug peas to be more valaable food for cattle that corn ; (2.) @ report proving corn to be more valu. able food for cattle than peas.”

The Dismissal of City Surveyor Smith. Ar the last meeting of the City

Council, Councillor Crabbe gave notice

that he would move to re-consider the

yote, dismissing Mr. H. B. Smith from the office of City Surveyor. A petition is now in circulation asking His Worship the “Mayor to call a public meeting at whith the Councillors may show cause for their action, It would be better, we thiuk to petition. the .Courcil to have, Mr. Smith reinstated: There are several reasons why the action of the

Council should be reconsidered. The

calling of a special meeting for the special

purpose of dismissing aman against whom there was no charge whatever, gave it an appearance of malignaucy ;

We are’ quite sure that a majority of the

Couveil were actuated by no such feeling ;

and the best way they cau take te prove

that tley were not, is to resciud their action. It may of course be objected that Mr. Smith's successor is willing to take less pay than Mr. Smith received.

But who will say that $300 a year is

sufficient salary for a responsible official

such as the City Surveyor? It is dis- hovoring the City to accept the service at so much less than it is worth. A City

Surveyor cannat honorably maintain the

position on $300 a year; and no man

ought to be expected to do it. On these grounds the Council will do well to take advantage of the opportunity Councillor |

Orabbe has afforded, and at the next

meeting reconsider their first too over-

hasty action. A respectful petition well

signed, would no doubt decide their

action iu this matter. They may rest

assured that they will lose nothing in

popular estimation by promptly rectifying

the mistake into which they have fallen. eG Of) :

Ooce we heard a boy ask a stationer for ventilopes. The latter who had a vein of humor in his composition asked the boy if he didn't want antelopes ? The boy indignantly replied that he did not vot. His father seut him for ventiloves. At another time we heard a Yankee ask for “letter-kivers.” Yesterday, how- ever, we heard an Envglishmaa say ‘*henvelopes,” which is the latest pro- nunciation of the word in question that we have heard; but we almost forgot to meution the man who asked tor ‘*letter- pockets.”

The Diamond Bookstore.

Tre new Diamond Bookstore, of Mr. Theo. L. Chappeile which is situated opposite the entrance of the Market on Queen Street is ape of the most eligible business stands in the city. The interior is splendidly proportioned, excellently fur nished, and fitted with handsome show cases for the display of valuatle goods. The store contains a fine display of books, stationery, and fancy goods, notwithstand, ing the fact that at this season of the year, the steck is genera'ly rediticed in fancy goods aud book hnes. The stationery depart- ment 1s well supphed with a stock which can be sold at prices to suit el,and the n- ws department is constantly replenished with the latest newspapers and periodicals from Great Britain, the United States and Canada.

Mr. Chappelle, who is agent for, the Intercolonial Express, has a neat office fitted wp for the business, in rear of his new store. He informs us that ‘the business of the Company is rapidly iucreasing in this Province. This is, ‘we believe, largely due to the push, activity ad. attention to business which has characterized Mr. Chappelle since he assimed the duties of Agent of the Company. Its business. at first was very small indee@; but it ,has now increased to large proportions.

Abvve the new store are fotir well ar- ranged sample rooms, which, owing to their central situation, are very desirable for commercial travellers. From this they derive the name of the Central Sample Rooms. They will, no doubt, be weil patronized.

Mr.Chappelle represents various agencies Among these we might mention the Provi- dent Mutual (Life) Association of Canada, which is said to be one of the most econ- omical insurance companiés in the Domin- ion. Mr. Chappelle informs is that since the beginning of the present year, as many as two huodred and twelve applications have been received at the head office, Montreal. ;

We learn that Mr. Chappelle infends to introduce several pew featureg, into his busineas during the coming summer, which, judging from the past, will be successful.

The secret of Mr.’Chappelle’s success is, we believe, strict attention to business. He is always to be found at his post, early in the morning and late at night. Thus a persona! supervision of this kind must neces- sarily bring its reward.

Farmers’ on Ensilage:

-

At the session of the Ensilage Congress, held at New York a few days ago, the indersements of the pressure “system of saving crops for fodder were emphatic and general. Costly plans and economical plans, results attained with screw and with dead weight pressure, and through the use of corn, rye, grass and‘sorghum,

were discussed, and apptoval was unanimous. The only article that did not seem to give satisfaction was

compressed clover” Mr“ffis"A. Truslow, of Cazenovia, N. Y., found >that this herb turned black and smelt musty after a little keeping, and his experience seemed to agree with that of others. The Rev. Dr. Ormiston speaking of the pericd at which corn should be cut for ensilage, said. that the best time was just after the car began to form, ‘‘Wait until it kisses the sun,’ said he. ‘The principle of life is sunlight, and to get good food you must wait until the plants put a goodly store of it away in their cells.” Mr. H. B. Brown, the secretary, read a letter whieh he said he had received from Alabama, bewailing the 8 uggishness which prevented the adoption of the ayater: through the South, whesejthe writer argued, it might be applied to grasses: with great advantage. ; atip

CORRESPONDENCE.

West Kent Street School.

To the Editor of the Examiner,

Srx,—The Secretary of the School Board | in yonr issue of Saturday took exception to | the following item among your locals of the previous day.

‘* The heating and ventilating arrrenge- ments in the West Kent Street School are reported very imperfect.”

The worthy Secretary in a ridiculously truculent manner, very unlike the style that a sleek well paid public official should cultivate towards those who contribute to his support, flings the statement in the teeth of your informant, whom he pelts with such epithets as ‘‘ malicious and base,” and characterizes the assertion as ‘‘not containing a particle of truth,” a proeaay rication, ete Now, sir, I, as your inforMant, have too high a sense of the mission of the press, to assist in fabricating anything against such 8 model public in- stitution as the West Kent Street School; but [ think the press is the proper medium through which to ‘‘ventilate” anything wrobg in connection therewith, even at the risk of an informant being jumped on by the Great Mogul of the School Board

Had [ penned the item myself [I should have used the words ‘badly managed” instead cof ‘ very

imperfect,” but, nevertheless, your para- graph is substantially correct. I know of more than one instance where pupils have eontracted severe colds from this bad iwanagement; and one pupil, in whom I am interested, from this cause, has been com- pelled to remain at home the greater part of this and last winter, and unless ‘ the arrangements’ are better managed, will be kept away during the remainder of this season. One of the direct causes of this trouble is, that in a certain room in the | building the heat is so unbearable at times that somé of the windews have to be opened, thus causing dangerous draughts, and, consequently, colds. WV

ment and perfect heating and ventilating arrangements, then I don’t understand the meaning of the words. It is very annoying that pupils should have to forego the great educational advantages to be obtained. in the W. K. 8S. School, and the Secretary would do better to direct his efforts to rectify the trouble complained of, than to rush into print with a parade of strong unealled-for adjectives alike undeserved by your informant, and unworthy of Mr. Oxenham for whom personally, 1 entertain the highest respect, and who I believe to be a painstaking offiver, and fully qualified for the position he fills.

In conclusion, I may say [ have no ob- “jection, should the Seeretary be agreeable, to discuss the#u! ject with him quietly, and amicably in a prwate interview, when he will find that my motive in drawing atten- tion to the matter was neither ‘‘base”’ no “malieions,’” but perfectly within the pro vince Of a
