ing. At the head of this movement . are many men who are lacking neither sin ability or experience and it is ditfi- cult to determine what the effect of this disturbing element upon the political parties existing at present will be ; but observers of the times say that it is by no means unlikely that in a few months we may witness a chang,e as great as that which took place a few months ago when the Republican pt'c- tectionists were almost wiped out of the House of Representatives. [ The receipts of the year for the Pro- vince of Ontario were $4,457,478, or $1,190,906 more than was expected; the expenditures were $3,461,122, or 8138,785 less than was, voted. The extra money came from the sales of crown timber, which the Tories say should not be sold, because it is an asset that should be preserved for future generations. In reply to this he Liberals say that the timber would robably be destroyed by fire, if the ight to out it were not sold to lumber- en, who then have an interest in reventing fires. Aforest can also be ‘eplanted and the timber can grow gain. The Conservatives while so nxious to preserve timber for posterity re also very anxious that the Ontario overnment should do something! owards helping the establishment of elting works to develop the iron ines. Now iron is an asset that lies nderground and is in no risk of estruction by fire, nor can it be placed by a new growth when once has been removed.

(1) The Pai- rons of Industry, (2) The Dominion Grange, (S) The Dominion Trader. and Labor Congress, (4) The Knights of Labor, (5) The Toronto Trades and Labor Council. Its fundamental idea seems to be to unite the agricultural and artisan classes into one body for election purposes. It was agreed that it was not necessary to call a convcn» tion but that a platform should be form, ulated upon which all who favor the movement can stand for the present. Among these we find (1) the reserva- tion of the Crown lands for actual settlers, (2) the abolition of the Do, minion Senate, (3) the checkmating of combines by legislation, and (4) the discontinuance of railway bonus- Store will be closed to-day and Friday to mark down stock.

It is Mr. Frankland’s intention to form a Company and establish head» quarters for: Canadian pmduce. Fail- ing in the formation of a company he will open such a place as a private enterprise. He will locate at Man- chester or some one of the'eonsiderable towns near' by. The reason he assigns for leaving Canada is that the scheduling of Canadian cattle has taken away his means of livelihood and that he must begin on a new line. Mr. Frankland has always been prominently connected with the cattle business and many years ago when the export of Canadian cattle to the English market _ was, altogether un- thought of, he gave a banquet at the Rossin House to which he invited the local butchers and a number of English eattlemen. From that time the export cattle trade with England rapidly in, creased until it haigrown to its pres- ent large dimensions and become one 'of our most important -ihdatrids, It was also through his influence that all Canadian goods were branded, so that what is American must he sold as such and Canada has not to bear the res ponsibility of inferior goods sent from the American side. His services to Canada have been great and eclipsed by those of few others in the upbuild- ing of Canadian interests. The Toronto papers announce that Alderman Frankland commonly known as the "Cattle King" will leave Canada I; May to take up his residence perma- nently in England. I The annual meeting of the Dominion Mills Cotton Company was held in Montreal on Thursday last. The statement sh wed that the value of the f output was $300,000. After paying!; interest on the working account, i writing off' $60,000 for repairs, paying,' four quarterly dividends of two per; cent each, and deducting $100,000 for: wear and tear, there remains a balance of $118,000 to be carried forward to the credit of profit and loss. The I company now owns eleven mills, of l which ten are in operation. There are I big profits in cotton. 1 i The new Parliament buildings have cost a deal of money but such an out- lay need not again be incurred for half a century or more. The expenses for asylums and the various reformutory and benevolent institutions are con- stantly growing Some portion of this must from time totime be shifted from the provincial treasury to that of the municipalities whenever the burden is too great to be borne by the Province. The Treasurer justified the succes- sion tax which was imposed for. the special purpose of maintaining huspi- tals, asylums, etc. The revenue derived from this source during the short time the act has been in opera- tion is about $50,000. thing that may be said to the contrary it is conceded that; the Mowat Gov- ernment has managed well odr Crown lands and timber.

The Canadian Journal of Fabrics says: We are not advocates of high protection, but, whatever protection we have, let it be fairly distributed over the various ranges of goods made in the country. Under the existing tariff some classes of sextile fabrics enjoy over' 100 per cent., others, as we have said, are worse " than under absolute free trade. Dalton McCarthy acts like a man of principle and convic- tion. His resolution calling for tariff reform, although defeated in thc House, has the appovul of the country; and, while we do not think the gar ernment would have acted wisely in ‘making a hasty revision of the tariff for this session, they will go the road ef Mekinlorites if they do not use the coming, recess in making , reason‘ I able revision.

All were girls, and all were still-born. What renders the' oc- currence still more reumrkable is that eight months ago the same woman gave birth to a child, the last five being pre- maturely born. The ease' is wierout a parallel in Canada and there are few such on record in the world. I on Saturday, it was supposed of heart disease. The husband and two grown- , up daughters, after indulging in their. grief, set about making preparations for the funeral. A coffin was procur i ed and the neighbors apprised of the sad occurrence, many of them coming for miles to "wake" the remains. The body lay in the wooden shell until Monday night, it being intended to hold the funeral Tuesday morning. On the night mentioned, at midnight, those who were Sitting in the corpse room were horrified to see the supposed [ lifeless body slowly raising and assum» ing an erect posture. Nearly all pre- sent were women, and they ran out, screaming in terror. The husband, who was asleep upstairs, hurriedly de- scended, and was terrihly surprised to see his suppmed dead wife looking about her in a bewildered state, and finally slowly emerging from the eoiiin. The strange part of it is, Mr. Fortier says, the woman up to Thursday night when he left there was alive and well, and thankful for her. narrow escape from being buried alive.
