the Dominion Government levied a tax of $8,540. The riders, who have paid a federal tax of $25 or $30 on each wheel purchased, will, no doubt, hasten to vote for government candi- (lama. On $28,465 worth of bicycles im- ported in July and August of 1894. The Toronto Evening News after the death of Sir John Thompmn, said that the late. premier had left no sue- cessor, unless Chiet'Justiee Meredith could be induced to accept the position. After giving reasons why Sir Charles Tupper, Tupper the younger, Foster, McKenzie Howell and other members of the cabinet would not be acceptable the News said :â€"“ The Ottawa Cabinet is like a storm tossed ship suddenly bereft both of rudder and pilot.” ' was apparently satisfactory to the majority of the meeting. The mem- ber for East York did an honorable thing in listening to the prayer of the" petitioners, and it is a pity that political exigencies frequently pre- vent suitable appointments being made, in place of those who are more party hacks. At a Conservative meeting in St; Paul‘s Ward, a few nights ago, Mr: W. F. Maclean, M. P., was brought to task by some of the electors for giving the Yorkville appointment of postmistl'ess to Miss Dobson,daughter of the late postmaster. It was con- tended that the position should have been given to some of the Conserva- tive workers. Mr. Maclean’s explan- ation that he could not ignore the pe~ tition signed by Sir David McPherson and scores of Other prominent Con- servatives in favor of Miss Dobson, “ Canadian barley is quoted at 48 to 500. a bushel at Ontario shipping points, and at 63 to 66c. a bushel across the lake. The diflerence of '150. a bushel is due to the United States duty of 30 per cent. ad valor~ cm. In Bufl‘alo and Oswego Cana- dian barley commands two cents a bushel more than United States bar- ley does. This is due to the supel‘iOI‘ quality of Canadian grain. From these comparisons it is very safefio" infer that if the duty were removed or materially lowered there would he a large development of trade between" Ontario barley shippers and New! York malstcrs.” Seldom do you see the admission in a Conservative newspaper that the American duty lowers the priceof barley to the Canadian farmer. Fri- day’s Mail and Empire, however, noâ€" knowledges the corn in a lengthy editorial, the opening sentences of which are as follows: Last week the Farmers' Sun, the organ of the Patrons of Industry, se- verely criticized the extravagance of the Dominion Government. It showed that notwithstanding the promise of the Finance Minister in his budget speech last session that ex- penses would be curtailed, they have increased nearly $2,000,000 in the 7 months of $1893-4,while for the same time the receipts have fallen off more than $2,000,000. The Sun’s article ends as follows :â€" “ It is right in the face of such a record of official mismanagement, of greatly increased public debt,of great- ly increased annual expenditure and at the same time of greatly decreased annual income, that the Govermnent again appeals to the taxpayers and property holders of Canada for a re newal of confidence andanothcr term of the “ Old Policy.“ Where will another five years of such manage- ment land the financial affairs of Canada ?

I The Orange Sentinel thinks that 2 Sir Mackenzie Bowel] should ask Mr. Dalton McCarthy to take a seat in the cabinet, and says that nothing would add so much to the strength of the new administration in the Eng- fish-speakingr provinces as a reunion he with the member for North Simcoe. ;e_ ’ Does the Sentinel wish to ignore al- Of! together the question of political prin- Itl’eiple? It is well known that the premier is a protectionist, that the coming election is to be fought on‘ that issue, and that Mr.McCarthy is a most uncompromising opponent of the 7 present tariff.

Relative to the probable time the general elections would be held, The Mail a. few weeks ago ventured the following remark “With the Past Grand Master as premier, we may expect the elections on the glorious twelfth." The South Perth election trial, brought out the fact that Mr. McNeil, the Patron member elect,was a mem- ber of the P. P. A., though he had denied the charge again and again during the campaign and repeated the denial under oath at his examina- tion prior to the trial. Falsehood and perjury are evidently regarded as legitimate weapons to be used by those selfiappointed champions of Protestantism.-â€"Ba1'rie Examiner. The World of Thursday gave a cartoon of Sir Mackenzie Bowel] on his knees giving,r thanks to Heaven that Sir Richard Cartwright has again secured the nomination for South Oxford, and praying that Mr. Samuel Blake will also come out in opposition to the Government. The Grits of this country would earnestly join in such a prayer, as there is no man they would rather see take the field in support of the oppOSition than Mr. Blake.
