NOTES AND COMMENTS

—The September number of the (an- adian Home Journal,devoted to the ladies, is interesting. It deserves the patronage of Canadian ladies. Published in Toronto.

—Mr. Fielding’s visit to England to raise a loan is the fitting complement of Mr. Tarte’s visit to Great Britain and Europe to learn how to spend the money.

—Instead of getting excited over Pres- ident Kruger’s assertion of the indepen- dence of the Tranevaal, the British Gov- ernment has quietly transferred the jurisdiction over it from the Foreign Office to the Colonial Office. The Colonial Office having already affirmed the suzerainty ef Britain over the Transvaal, and tlie Transvaal coming henceforth under the jurisdiction ot the Colonial Office, the Boers will be dealt with accordingly, in a matter- of-fact way that will leave no ground for mistake.

—Sincethe firstof January last the farmers of the United States have sold nearly $190,000,000 in breadstuffs alone. Last year they had disposed of lers than $84,000,000 in the same period, snd in 1895 less than $65,000,000. In two years they have gained a market in this single line of products larger by $35,000,000—a most bandsome dividend. In the face of such an increase in gain, and of a continued and even strengthening demand for their wheat, corn, and flour, itis not

surprisiug toreadofa “better feeling” in |

the country districts, of prompt payment of rent and interest, aod of reduction in the amount of farm mortgages.

—Lord Lester, in the course of a short address to the recent Convocation of McGill

University, saiu: “In common with many other members of the British Medical Associa-

tion, 1 have had an opportasity of inspec:- ing your magnificest. new university buildings and equipment, which are due in no small measure to your eervices, sir, and other muniticent donors of the city of Montreal. I was astonished at the splendor of these new buildings and their «quipment. I saw there, laboratories, physic labora- tories, for example, and mechanical labora- tories, and they are second to none in the world. (Cheers.) Having visited the institution twenty-one yearsfago, to see the immense change which has come over Montreal, and, above all, over your uni- versity, fiiled me with amazement and admiration ”

—For the first time in her history, a general census has been taken of the population of the Russiau Empire. The number of inbabitants is shown to be 129,- 211,113, of whom 64,616,280 are males, and 64,594,833 females. This isa much closer approximation in the number of the sexes than most countries canshow. The United States Consul General at St. Peters- bury, who transmits the figures to the State Department, points out the interesting fact that the population of Rnesia has doubled in forty-tive years, and that dur - ing the last twelve years it bas increased twentv percent. To take this general census the Government employed an army of 150,000 men, who were engaged upon it for three months. Its completion in so short atime is regarded as a great achiev- ment, in view of the vast territory to be covered, and the illiteracy of the popula- tion.

—The Chicago Times and Herald raises its voice in protest against the law-making propensity of the governing bodies in the United States. The tendency towards profuse and indiscriminate legislation,it de clares, ia the curse of nearly every com mon- wealth in the waion. The statute books, it adds, are filled with the fulminations of theorists, who are impelled by the desire to correct some of the inequalities of nature’ What the Times and Herald says ofthe situation of affairs in the United States is equally true, as the Mon

treal Gazette remarks, of Canada. There are enactments on the pages of the statute books of every province which, though they are

contravened every day, ar» never recalled by any one, simply becouse they are in direct opposition to good sense.

—The Encyclical letter iseued by the bishops of the Church of England lately in conference at Lambeth deals with the burning question of relations between employe sand employes. It points out that the industrial problems of the day present themselves under the doubleaspect of justice between man and man and sympathy with human need. Itis widely thonght ip some classes that the present working of our industries is unjust toe the employed and unduly favorable to the employer. The bishops say :

“It is obviously not possible for us to enter upon the consideration of such a our

— This Government is a Government of business men. The only programme which we have now is to develop the prosperity of

gles and whatever may be the grounds on which politicians can make war upon the present Government, as for us, we have | only one struggle to make, aud we have only one ground ov which we fight; we want one thing and one thing onl:: that is to develop the resources of this conatry, to ie its prosperily more complete than {itis at present.

This sounds weil. We may hope with Sir Wilfrid that the country wil |

Britian to negotiate a new Joan; sending Mr. Tarte to Great Britain and Europe to learn how to make larger expenditures. Making Orders-in-Council to hamper trade. Doing nothing towards the removal of obstacles placed in the way of our trade. England prospered under the Stuarts and Cavada may prosper under Laurier. The Laurier Government will certainly not deserve any credit for the people’s pros- perity.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Montreal Star: Sir Wilfrid’s flattering com parisons of Canada with Europe make us satisfied with ourselves. We bave the finest Parliament buildings, it seems,and can get up the most flaming demonstrations. Or, perhaps, Sir Wilfrid visited Blarney Castle when abroad.

St. John Sun: Canada is giving Sir Wilfrid Lanriera fine reception. The province of Quebee bas seen nothing like it Since the return of the Jate Count Mer- cier from his spectacular European tour, The associations of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Count Mercier are the same. The present premier waa the ally and instru- ment of the late premier of Quebec. The worstinfluence about Mr. Mercier was that of Mr. Tarte and his associates, and these are the influences that surround Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

THE SCRAMBLE FOR THE OFFICES.

(Montreal! Star.)

These unseem)y Joca] scrimmages aris- ing from persona! disappointment over the distribution of the “spoils,” must pai to the beart the stalwart Liberals of the old schoo! who followed the party from con- viction through deteat after deteat without a thongbt of wavering. It was not for this, they wil] justly say, that Alexander Mackenzie stood by his principles in spite of adi temptation, that Edward Blake } vulaniarily sacrificed the profits of alucra- | tive Jaw practive, and that Inany another leader toed ou witbhoutreward or without even much expectation of one. The spec- iacle which is presented in Huron, for ex- auplewherea Liberal member and a Lib-

raj editor are abusing each other with a vratepcc which the broad license of a ferocious party Campaign could hardly cover, over such a pe.ty piece of patron uve as ibe local pO-linarl reh'p, Is One to

fancy entertained by many a sincere Lib- eral that it was not for these paltry officers thatthe nov-commissioaed offi- cere of the party fought So valiantly and Now that they have discovered that the supply is far short of the demand, the y do not even sff-ct inditterence to these tit-bits Of patrovage which a criumph at the polls gives into the band of the succese- ful politicians, The Ministers are attacked when they do not decapitate Tories rapidly enough, and the violent quarrels which have broken out in different parts Of the country over the possession of & sweet morsel or so, are calculated to cruelly dissipate illusions. The queetion, must soon be settled, however, whether or not these office-hunters represent the Liberal party. Liberals from conviction stand to protest that they do 1.ot. But possession isusually taken as the proof of power; and if the men who regard public cilice as so much party patronage rather than a public trust continue to ren ain in control ofthe Federal distribution bureau, the average taxpayers will believe his eyes instead of the protestations of the clean- handed Liberals, There is room enough here for a civil service reform, and it is difficult to see how anything less than a drastic change of policy can rescue the party and the country from the disgraceful exhibitions of the last few months.
