Although brick houses are now con- sidered the right thi{ig, and almost as cheap as wooden oneswben well finiah- ed,- yet, numerous frame or wood- en dwellings as well as other build- ings arelbeing erected from year to year, and since building paper (both tarred aiid dry) is available and cheap, it is a decided economy to use it and that without stint. The tar paper serves a double pur pcse, being a nonconductor of heat or cold it is invaluable in this changeable climate, and then the tar is a pre- ventative of yermiu and adds to the healthfalness of the house. Those who contemplate building should con- sult some one who has experience in the matter. Thera is a number of houses in this â€" The BorpliuotreTeiiae over ex- penditure in the Dominion on April 20 was $Si,060,846, as compared with a deficit of f 2,294,000 on the cor- responding date last year. â€"The way in which President Cleveland is reversing the immoral traditions of his country should plaee his name among the highest of her presidental benefactors. Had the treaty rights of the ladians always been vindicated as is now bemg done by driving squatters from their re- serves, we should probably have heard less of the internecine strife which has made American frontier life horrible. â€" The announcement has been officially made that the Grand Trunk Railway Company intend to spend a million dollars during the present year in donbUng their track and in other- wise impreving their line. The work of laying down a double track on the main line which begun some years ago, and from time to time reports of progress have been made, but so far only a small portion of the whole has been done. When completed, the Company will have far more than double then- transportation powers and will have reduced the liabilitv to Gooil Advice »â-  • â€" Don't buy Dress Goods until you see McFarland's Immense Assort- ment.

EDITORIAL NOTES. â€" Toronto's assessment is $91,000,- 000. â€" So far this season a total of 4,- 368 immigrants have arrived in Win- nipeg. â€" The first division in the new Par- liament gave Kir John's coyernment a majority of thirty-two. â€" Five steamers left Liverpool last week with 2,750 emigrants. Chiefly English, for Canada. â€" A fleet carrying 125,000 bushels of grainis on the way from Chicago to Ov.en Sound. â€" Dominion parliament will take a recess of a week, from the 18th to the 25th inst. â€" Between November and April last §136,669 was spentinthe distribution of seed to the suffering settlers in the North- West. â€" During last week fifteen hundred immigrants arrived in Montreal, tbe majority intending to settle in Ontario and the North- West. â€" His Excellencd the Governor- General and Lady Lansdowne arrived in Toronto last Tuesday nightandmet with an enthusiastic reception from the citizens. â€" Arrangements for running Can- adian Pacific trains over the Michigan Central road to the V/eetern States have been completed, and the Western Ontario Pacific railway will not be built west of London. â€" The County of York has been separated Irom the city of Toronto for shrievality purposes, and Frederick Mowat, son of Hon. Oliver Mowat appointed Sheriff of Torsnto. The appointment for York has not yet been made. â€" A Largely attended meeting of representatives oi Farmers lustitues throughout the country was held in the courthouse, Toronto, Thursday. A Central Institute for the province was formed, and officers elected. Be- bolutions were .passed in favor of reci- procity with the United States, and condemning the present railway fates uiid classification as being prejudicial to the interests of the farmers. â€" Tlie report of exports on the Canauiian products shown at the Col- ru'wn Exhibition are generally satis- factory.

Until she has annexed all the territory be- tween her frontiers and those of the Ameer's territory, Russia declared over and over again that Afghanistan was without the scope of her opera- tions. At that time, and even since, the country has been under the guard- ianship, if not the recognized protec- tion, of England. Having secured a large portion of the oasis of which Herat is the centre, and having a force within easy striking distance of that city, Russia has appearently forced England to take her into all aouncils in regard to Afghanistan. That is the meaning of the announcement that Lord Salisbury's Government has coma to an agreement with Russia as to the neutral government of Afghani- stan. It is one thing to come to an understanding with Russia, and it is quite anothertomake any understand- ing with her effective. There has never been a treaty sacred enough to bind Russia for one moment after it became safe for her to break it. Superior force is the only thing which will make an agreement with Russia binding. He shouldhave a long spoon who would sup out of the same pot with her. â€" The Pbofhbt. â€" The Bradford Pro- phet forecasts the weather as follows for the next month â€" May will be the very antipodes of April. Like the Irish- man's whiskey, we'll have water galore. The average downfall will be small but their frequency, followed by warm sunny days, will gladden the hearts of the farmers. Expect rain ever other day, 12 out of 81 days will be wet. The Queen's Birthday wiU. be fine and hot, the month expiring in a deluge.
