CANADA FIRST.

Ar ameetiog in Toronto, recevtly, the dominant note wae eet by Sir Charles Tupper. This note was “Canada First” * “the placing of Canada and her interests 1D the very foreground, and afterwards con- sidering which party hae always stood, and wil! stand, true to those interests.” This clear note was applauded and re-echoed ; for it has the rieg of true patrietiem. «Canada and her interests first of all, and over all, and afterwards which party, in its history aod conduct, etands for Canada, and which on the other side ; and which political leader, in hie history and conduct stands for Canada, and which on avother side,” —theee,are the questions for Canadian electors to consider before the next elec- tion.

LIBERAL TAXES.

No matter how rich a province may be, or how great its resources, or how much the people may contribute towards the municipal institutions, it has to resort to direct taxatien if its government has been, for any length of time, of the latter~day~ libere! stripe. This truth ie sow being made manifestin Ontario. Resolutions have been introduced into the Ontariv legislature authorizing the Government, not

tavern licenses, but aleo to tax street rail- ways in ali towns from $20 to $60 per mile, other railways $!4 ~~ per telegraph companies from a quarter per cent to one per cent. on their capital sicck

mile,

per cent. of Ontario premiums, and fire companies half that rate; trust com- panies, sleeping car companies, etc., are also to be heavily taxed, The Liberal Government of Ontario needs many trousands of dollars more per year than it is now receiving. ‘This is remaraable in view of the annual contention of the Liberal organs and politicians that the Oatario Government has every yeara surplus. But such is everywhere the end of Liberal financing! And the people—

indirectly, pay all the taxes entailed upon them by Libera) expenditures.

churehes and echools and sucial evente in any way affecting the public good. But do not write anything to excite ill-feeling in the settlement—anyt hing unnecessarily critical or sarcassic. The editor cannet possibly know the circumstances, and is therefore unable to judge in many cases as to@whst ought to be anpprensed. In mentioning any crime or offence against morals, not already before the courts, do not give the same of the guilty party—aor say anything that will indicate to the neighborhood who he is. Avoid libels o¢ all kinds. Make every item brief and to the point. Even obituary notices are better short. Butlet us have allthe bona

AN UNCONSTITU TIONAL MOVEMENT.

Reso.urions have been submitted to the Legislatures of Ontario and Nova Scotia, in support of Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s scheme for maiming the Semate; aad similar resolutions will, without doubt, be submitted to the Legislature of P. E. Island and other Legislatures in which the Liberals bave the majority. This meve- ment of the Provinces on behalf of Bir Wilfrid’s scheme, illustrates the werk.

ing of the Liberal Party machine. The Federal and Provincial Governments, in close and corrupt

alliance,"*help one another out” eyen with matters with which they have no busines? to interfere. No constitutional change io the Government ef the couatry should be made or attempted either by Parliament or the Legislatures without the authoriza- tion of the people. But the people have never been consulted about this matter of the emasculativua of the Senate. In point of fact it hae only been mentioned by Sir, Wilfrid Laurier

at ene public meetiug held in Mon- treal,— and that meeting express- ed no opinion concerning it. Yet

évery legislature throughout Canada is to pate resclutions demanding the change that has been intimate]. Theee Legielatures were elected and eoustituted without o theught of Senate reform upon provi acial iseues’; and therefore their resolutions can- not possibly express public opinion as to Sir Wilfrid’s plan. Thewhole proceeding is irregular and esseatially eorrapt. It eannot influence the Imperial parliament.

VITAL STATISTICS

Ir is pleasing to note that so influential a body as the Presbytery of P. E. Island has unanimously passed the following resolution :

A NATIONAL SONG.

Tue Montreal Witness some time ago invited a national song competition, offer- ing prizes of $50, $25, $15 and $10, respectively, for the best four. The result of the competition has lately been made public. Miss A. A. Machar, of Kingston, Oat., Mr. John Macfarlane, of Westmeunt, Mr. R. G. 8S. Anderson, of Wroxeter, Ont., and Miss Catherine Livingstone, Montreal, received the prizes in the order named. We qaote the song for which Lord Dufferin awarded the first prize.

— The Otiawa Journal is pleased to ac- cep! the Toronto Globe’s announcement that the goverzment will not buy the Cavada Eastern railway. The Journel adds: ‘* As to the recent campsigo in New Brunewick, iiberal speakers and papers intimated that the government would buy the road, and nobody denied it, 60 a cam- paign purpose was duly served.”

—Wirelese telegraphy is just the theme in England. A Liverpool, (G.B.,) deepatch reports thatit is already in use between forts Laverock onthe Clamorgan coast aod Frankholmn, an Islandin tke Bristol Channel, It has never been known to fail, and is independent of daylightor dark- ness, dry weather or wet, fog or clear air. It is believed that wireless telegraphy has a great future.

—Mr.W. H. Preece, C.B., engineer- in~chief of the British post- office, and Pre- sident of the Institute of Civil Engineers, read before the Liverpool Engineering Society a paper on “Electricity in the Post- office.” Mr. Preece stated thut the leagth of telepraph wires in Eogland has increas ed, while under post office adminstration, from 60,000 to 300,000 miles, telegraph bueinese has increased four times as fast, | and the fact that fourtimes as much work ie now done by the same length of wire 1s due tothe improvements made by officers of the postal service. There are 158,987 telephones at work in England. As to truvks the post office in 1897 took over 29,000 milen ef wire, The length has since been increased to 56,000, and tbe receipts had doubled. Since the the telephone has come into the hands ef the postoflice the department bas applied to it a system of automatic signalling which Las since been adopted in America as the greatest improvement in telephoning.

—The wire farmer will secure bis grays aod clover seed to be used in the spring, that he may be ready to take advantage of faverable conditions for seeding. For the success of the crop depends largely upon this, and the loss of # crep, especially of clover, breake up therotation ona farm and often becomes a serious matter. The farmer who purehases graes or clover seed cannot exercise too much care to know that he is getting that which is free from foul seed.
