The members of the Order of: the Tron Hall will be interested in learnâ€" ing that the Supreme Court of Indiana has affirmed the decision of Judge Tayâ€" lor, of the Supreme Court of the State, appointing James F. Farley as receiver of the Order. "How much is due the State receivers ?" Mr. Farley. was askâ€" He replied, "I should approximate the amount at between $800,000 and $900,â€" ©000." _ "How much have you on hand now ?" "About $750,000. _ This, with the amount received from the State receivers and the receiver of the deâ€" funct Philadelphia Bank and the real estate, will give the receiver over $1,â€" 500,000 to distribute. _ I do not know positively, but it is probably true that the receivers elsewhere and the branâ€" ches had withheld payment pending the decision of the case in this State. I presume their accounts are in shape to transmit to the general receiver, and if so the distribution will be made speedily." One of the most pathetic things the newspapers have had to tell in a long while, was the story of the poor mather *who watched from the window of a New York Hotel, Tuesday, for the flyâ€" ing of a black flag that would tell her that her best beloved son had died the death of a felon. _ Mrs. Harris has been the ideal mother. _ The wealth of love of her unusually affectionate, gentle mother heart was lavished upon this boy who so ill repaid her loving care and tenderness, and to the last she believed him innocent of the crime for which he was executed, despite the overwhelming evidence against him. This poor, heartâ€"broken mother has always been proud of her children, and has written and lectured to mothers all over the States on the best methods of The announcement is made that Mr. Erastus Wiman, the wellâ€"known Canaâ€" dianâ€"American Commercial Unionist, is in financial difficulties and has been obliged to make an assignment of his property for the benefit of his ereditors. Mr. Wiman was supposed to be, and no doubt was at one time, a millionâ€" aire, but for some time the wheel of fortune has been turning the wrong way. He seems to have branched out too widely and some of his speculations proving unremunerative have brought him into trouble. Mr. Wiman was a good man with his money, being enterâ€" prising, generous and always ready to help the deserving who needed help and there are many, even in Canada, who will sympathize with him‘in his present misfortunes. j Some interesting figures are given this year for the first time, in the reâ€" port of the Minister of Education. They show the various classes of the community â€" from â€" which. the High School and Collegiate Institute pupils are obtained. Out of 16,969 attending these institutions, 7,104 were children of farmers, 4,170 of merchants, 3,866 of mechanics, and 1,829 of professional men. Those who passed at examinaâ€" tion were thus classified : Farmers‘ children, 1,270, mechanies‘ children, 463, merchants‘ children, 452, and chil. dren _ of professional men, 308. It will be observed in attendance mechâ€" anics‘ children stand third, but that in success at examinations they came second. Mr. Meredith moved the second reading of his bill respecting married women in the Legislature on Monday. The bill sought to declare that all the disability with regard to the holding and disposing of real property that had hitherto affected _ married womsn, should cease, and that they should have the same right of entering into contract, and of sucing and being sued as their spinster sisters had. The bill was given the three months‘ hoist. The Prime Minister Gladstone has offered the place of Poet Laureat made vacant by the death of Lord Tennyson to the distinguished art critic, John Ruskin.

Great Britain and the United States are our two great markets both for buying and selling in. . Of the $100,000,000 worth of Canadian produce exported last year $90,000,000 was taken by Great Briâ€" tain and the United States combined, and of the?$116,000,000 worth of goods imported nearly $95,000,000 came from those two countries. Any arrangement that will provide, on fair terms, for the further development of a trade which has already attained such large dimenâ€" sions must be to the advantage of Canada, and Mr. McCarthy has proâ€" posed the most practical means of securing this enlargement. This policy has still another merit. We can give effect to at least the firsp part of it thl‘oug'h our own Parliament. All that is required is simply an amendment to the customs act reducâ€" ing the duties levied on British manuâ€" factures imported by the Dominion. This measure would, too, practically ensure freer trade between the United States and Canada, since it would be impossible to long maintain a 60 per cent. tariff wall along the American sea board while that along the Cana. dian was only twenty. The Toronto News has this to §ay of the trade policy of Mr. McCarthy : Itis a straight declaration for an immediate reduction of the duties on goods coming . from _ Great . Briâ€" tain coupled with an offer to lower the tax on those sent to us by the States when our neighbors are prepared to admit our products to their markets more freely than they do at present. The Marter bill which had for its object the doing away of the retail liquor business was defeated by a straight party vote. In order to test the prohibition sentiment in the counâ€" the Ministen of Education has introâ€" duced a bill providing for a vote of the people or a plebiscite on the matter on Jan. 4,1894, the day of Municipal elecâ€" tions all over Ontario. The voters entitled to cast ballots will be divided into two classes, the men entitled to vote at legislative elections and secondly, the widows and umarried women entitled to vote at municipal elections. _ Yellow. ballots will be given to the men and blue ballots to the women. By this means the opiniâ€" on of the sexes will be determined. The returning officer will be empowered to appoint two agents for the party or organizations in favor of the yeas, while the nays will likewise be given the privilege of appointing two agents for each subdivision. The expense of the voting will be defrayed by the various municipalities. A bill to amend the Registry Act has passed the Local House. The bill was introduced by the Provincial Secretary and proposes four important changes in the act : â€" First, that hereâ€" after registrars shall devote all their time to the duties of their office ; seeâ€" ond, that they shall exercise closer supervision over the work of. their office ; third, that mortgagees shall file notices of any discharges that may take place; fourth, that it shall be made clear that 25 cents is the maxiâ€" mum charge for search.

A PRACTICAL POLICY. _ ‘"The second plank in Mr. McCarâ€" thy‘s platform, is just as intelligible as the first to those. who wish to underâ€" stand it, though any amount of dust can be raised about both. It is that protection that is not to be adopted as a principle, though it may be necessary ‘ for a time and for good and sufficient cause clearly shown. The [right prinâ€" ciple is free trade, modified only by revenue requirements or national conâ€" ditions, _ We, however, have fostered protection until it has become a virus in the blood. _ It must be purged away, but we must do that gradually, as too drastic medicines would weaken us unnecessarily and almost kill us. The question then is, shall we begin on the side of Britain, our mother, who is as sound as a bell on the trade question, or on the side of the United States, a foreign country, which is, to say the least, ‘wobbly,‘ as regarde free trade? The mistake made by the reform party, a mistake that cost them a general election, was, when it said, let us begin with the United States. _ Men of honor and men of sense now see that we must begin with Britain. We have built the walls between ourselves and her. Let us first knock them down as fast as possible. We can at the same time say to our neighbors that we wish to I have differed from Mr. McCarthy in the past and may differ from him in the future, but I have always admired him and believed him_ thoroughbred ; a man who could be depended on for courage, honesty, â€" straightâ€"forwardness and ability. _ That is the kind of men we must have in public life if we are going to make a nation of Canada. Policies may change, tariffs must change but one thing there must be in the making of mortar or a nation, and thatis ‘sand‘ We must have. men who are not afraid of the party whip, to whom office is no temptation, and who refuse to hocus pocus their comâ€" mon sense when a grave charge has been proved, positively or negatively, against a cabinet minister on their own side. â€" Such men are rave, and the price the public must pay for a sufficient supâ€" ply is to recognize and honor those who show that is the stuft of which they are made. Mr. McCarthy has shown that again and again, and therefore our hearts warm to him. _ We think all the more of hini because of the charge reâ€" cently made by Mr. Ives. That Hon. gentleman intended to commit murder, but instead committed suicide. _ Mr. McCarthy, he said, was bought, but wouldn‘t stay bought. What is the answer that comes at once to our lips ? This : As to Mr. McCarthy having been bought, we must hear the evidence and none has been given ; we must hear the accused, and he at once gave it the lie direct ; but what is certainly on the face of the charge is that Mr. Ives thinks it quite right for a governâ€" ment to buy members of parliament, and only complains of them when they will not stay bought. _ There is another reason, besides the personal one, why Mr. MceCarthy has been asked here to receive this demtonstration. Those who asked him approve generally of the public policy that he advocated. His policy may be said to consist of two planks, provincial rights and reform of the taviff, as far as possible according to the British mode. Neither the Government nor the Opposition takes the firm stand that should be taken on provincial and territorial . rights. Mr. MecCarthy is now firm, though he seemed to be doubtful when he proposed to veto the Jesuit Estates‘ bill. _ ‘That bill was bad in itself, insulting in its form, and. vicious from its parentage. Nothing worse need be said of it than was said here here lately by Hon. McKenzie Bowell. But whenâ€" a province has rights outsiders have no right to interâ€". fere. The province of Quebec could do what it liked with its money, and to have vetoed the bill would have wrenched the constitution. The bill, however, was so bad that I was thankâ€" ful that an indignant protest was made against it, though a man in Mr. Mcâ€" Carthy‘s posision knew that to ery out was to imperil his political life. The protest did good. We are not likely to have more bills of that kind. Its promoters, political and ecclesiastical, have found out that it was an expenâ€" siveluxury. Now thoseof us whostood up for provincil rights then, though smartâ€" ing under the insult, and in opposition to our best friends, have no idea of deserting the same cause now, and we are very glad to have Mr. McCarthy on our side. We defended Quebec then, ‘ we must defend Manitoba now, and we have a right to ask Quebec to help us. No man can eat a cake and have it. No province can demand rights for itself and refuse them to another. Our Frenchâ€"Canadian fellowâ€"countryâ€" men have common sense and courage. Like ourselves they will, in the end, prefer statesmen to the tightâ€"rope dancers, men who will stand in their boots to men who walk upon razors, and speakers who tell the truth to. orators who treat them as if they were @rown babies. | At the demonstration in favor of Dalton McCarthy at Kingston last Satâ€" urday the chair was occupied by Prinâ€" cipal Grant of Queen‘s College, who spoke at considerabe length warmly endorsing the McCarthy platform. He said :â€" Erincisal Crant on McCarthy. Watsrlo3 County Chron‘cle The directory has figured all along that the operating expenses would be paid by the receipts from the concesâ€" sions which have been granted. In all cases where concessions have been granted the Exposition has insisted on receiving . from â€" the concesâ€" Not counting the interest on, say, in round numbers, $15,000,000, the amount which must remain in the treaâ€" sury at the end of the fair, after all exâ€" penses are paid, is either $15,000,000 or $17,500,000 if the fair is kept open on Sundays. This does not take into consideration the daily operating exâ€" penses. At the present time these exâ€" penses aggregate $45,000 daily. It is expected that this enormous amount will be expended daily during the enâ€" tire period of 183 days, not counting Sundays, for which the fair will be open. The directory has already taken steps to cut this expense down to the lowest limit. Just now, while exhibits are still arriving and installations are _ going _ on, _ much _ cannot be done in this line. But later it is expected that the daily operating exâ€" penses will be reduced over half. How serious a problem this is may be shown by a plain statement of fact. Over $33,350,000 have been expended in the construction of the two hundred or more buildings within the limits of Jackson Park. Of this amount the National and State Governments have spent over $12,000,000. The United States have appropriated $2,700,000 for the Government and National Com mission, ana $2,500,000 in fifty cent silver pieces for the general purposes of the Exposition. There have also been received from various sources up to May 1 over $1,500,000. These receipts amount to about $18,â€" 700,000, leaving $14,300,000 of the $33,000,000 receiwed from other sourâ€" ces. Of the amounts enumsrated the fair officials will only have to take in to account in setting their kusiness at the close of the exhibition the $2,500,â€" 000 received from the United States Government in fiftyâ€"cents coins, and that only in event of violating the conâ€" tract made with the Government in accepting the appropriation, . which binds them to _ keep [ the _ fair closed on Sunday. The $14,600,000 which will have to be accounted for under any cireumstances includes the following amounts:â€"Six percent deâ€" benture bonds, due Jan. 1. next year, $4,094,500 ; loan from the city of Chiâ€" cago, secured by bonds, $5,000,000 ; on stock subscriptions, $5,553,760, the exact amount being $14,648,260. Chicago, May 8 â€"Now that the gates of the World‘s Fair have been opened and the exhibition unanimousâ€" ly declared to be the greatest ever held, taking into consideration the number and excellence of the various displays and the architectural merit of the buildâ€" ings, the directors are confronted with the very serious problem of how to make both ends meet. be friends, but that in trade it takes two to make a bargain, and that thereâ€" fore as they lower the wall we shall lower ours. _ What is the great answer given to this 1 Why, that such a policy would hurt our neighbors‘ feelâ€" ings. That is, there are people among us who fancy that not only the Frenchâ€" Canadians, but the Americans, are spoiled children, and that they must be humored or they will get in a huff and refuse to work or play with us. The sooner we get rid of such notions the better. There are no people in the world who have at bottom so much horse sense as our neighbors. Very properly they do not think of our feelâ€" ings when they make their tariff. They simply do what they think right in the cireumstances. _ Unless weare a nation of cowards we shall do likewise. No other nation will respect us if we do not respect ourselves ; and the sooner we imake up our minds about the prinâ€" ciples that should be at the basis of our tariff without waiting to see what conâ€" gress is going to do, the better for all concerned.

Sing Sing, May 8.â€"Carlisle Harris the wife murderer, was electrocuted toâ€" day. The electrocution was a success. The official time of the first contact was 12 40}? and the electrical current was on for 55$ seconds. Harris, who had rested well, though did not sleep much, was cool and collected throughâ€" out. This can come only from the gate receipts. The daily gate receipts must aggregate either $82,000 or $95,000 in round numbers to cover the amount, which means a daily attendance of 164,000 or 190,000 people paying 50 cents each. On the opening day 155,â€" 565 people pard to get inside the gates. Since then the paid admissions have fallen cff to 10,000 or 20,000 a day.
