—Mr. Dalziel,with his hustlers, did grand work on the strvets today. It is pleasing to note that Mr. Dalziel employs ouly those who keey the shovel and the broom moving.

The question is notasto acceding at this de- mand. It is, shall Canada at this junct-~ ute deliberately take a position which will involve a dispute with the United States together with inevitab'e delay, wrong and possibly narional humiliation,—and to get inte this position, give away four mitlions of acres of auriferous territory, for the building of a hondre ed and = fifty miles of tramway.

Monetary Times: Perhaps Genera Johnson of the United S:ates army is cor- rectin saying that, if the commission now examining into the cause of the ex- plosion of the warship “ Maine,” in the harbor of Havana, should report that the catastrophe is due to the mflice of some fiend, operating with some agent under the vessel, public feeling in the Republie would compel war with Spain st once, But theugh such a result would be likely tu occur, it is not at ail certain that ie etriking Spaia the real culprit would be hit. An attempt was made the other day to assassinate the King of Greece; it would be manifeatly unjust to hold a whole people guilty of the dastardly act. An assassin killed President Lincoln, uttering

ing of the South; but the South was not privy to, and did not condone, the act. If half a dozen persons, having no connection with the Spanish Government, and in no way representing Spanish feelings or designe, could be proved to have blown up the “Maine,” would that bea reason fer going to war with the nation to which the ¢ulprits belong? It is just possible that this question may not have to be answered in the affirmative”,

In sum- mer send all the milk you can and market as quickly as possible. Dairy made but- ter is being driven ort of the market and the sooner everyone patronizes a factory the better. There are too many smal! factories in the country which ean‘t afford to pay acompetent man. It is essential that the factory be run by a man who thoroughly understands his business.

Almost every town in England seems to want its goods in a different and peculiar package.

THE FINANCIAL SIDE,

The Jarge surplus in the United States treusury is dueto Mr. Cleveland’s gold loan and the sale of the Union Pacific. Subtracting the gold reserve against the greenbacks, only £25,000,600 is available. Therefore, in view of the considerab'e yearly deficit, it seems incredible that the secretary of the treasury will draw con- siderable on his cash balance without fresh taxation,”

Toroyro, March 12—Following is the result of yesterday s recounts .o provincia! election cases: North Toronto, Marter’s (Con.) majority increased, 24 to 34 Lennox, Ayleeworth’s (Lib.) majority increased, 33 to 43. Nipissing, Loughrin’s (Lib.) majority increased, 38 to 61.

London, March 12—The Daily Chronicle attaches importance to the following des patch from our corresponeevt at Hong Kong: “The Mecnhus are bopless as a governing dynasty, and the imperial court is likely to migrate to Sban-Si province. The increasing imperisi damanda upon the sprovincial governments cannot con- tinue; and it is possible the result will be anew Chinese dynasty in Central China, with caapit]l at Nankin. If British pro- tection is refused to this arrangement, other powers are willing to accord theirs.”
