Minister John' Dryden heard the deputation, ack~ nowledg‘e‘d that a grievance evident- ly existed, and promised to have the action of the statute stayed until a change is made in" theDominion law. In all probability' a GOVernmenr inâ€" spector will be appointed so that all herds in the province may be dealt with by the same responsible officer. Sir Charles Tuppcr is one of the 'few people who dare to champion the Dominion Franchise Act passed by 't‘ie Conservative majority in 1885. The leader of the opposition, in order 'to appear consistent, is forced to sup port this shameful bill, or otherwise we believe he wouid rather not do so. He must know that the present law may be used as a strong lever in the hands of the Government in power if they are dishonest enough to make use of some of its provisions. The measure has been referred to time and again by both Conservatives as well as Liberals, as a disgrace on the statutes, and we are glad that the present Government mean to Wipe it out on the first opportunity. Searcely has a bill ever been more unpopular with honest people. There were 724 [ersons confined 'in the prisons of the province. Of these only 214 could read well, 390 could only read moderately, and 120 could not read at all. Five hundred and nineteen could write fairly well, and 203 could not write at all. The number who had attended a High school was 59 and of these 44 had attended more than one year. Only 10 had ever attended a university. These figures effectually refute the mediaeval contention that education tends to promote crime. The Evening Star of Toronto has utered upon a crusade against de- amnental stores. The Star’s prep- érs, account only for farmers do not seem lievc in the cry agz? tion _ According to the réport of the Min~ ister of Edutation for 1896, the chil~ dren attending High schools or colle- giate institutes of parents engaged in mercantile pursuits numbered 5,834, of farmers, 7,783, of mechan~ ics, 5,812, and of persons in the pro- fessions, 2,027. One thousand, two hundred and nine entered mercan- tile pursuits, 1,112 returned to the farm, 503 set out for professions, 1,906 became teachers, and 1,807 went to other caliings.

The Act will form part of the Act passed in the year 189(‘. quite willing to fall i1 jority and have the erected as speedily as The Liberals made a pretty gocd sweep on the 23111 of 11st June, and they have added several supporters Since that date. In the byeclections the Conservatives have carried but one seat, viz., East Simcoe, whereas the Liberals have Won North Grey, Queen’s, N. B., Brandon, Saskatch- ewan, Cornwall, S. Brunt, N. Ontario, Bonaventure and Wright. The Tory prediction that the Grits would not be in power six months is not being verified. The *ellairman of the Board of Education was quite within themark at; the meeting on Friday when he reminded some of the members that it; would be unwise to re-open the discussion as to the site for the new High School. As he pointed 011E,1flle 'Bozn‘d already have made their dc~ cision, and although he was at first in favor of another site, he is now osition is to tax each department as a separate store. It is contended that as business is being centred in a few channels, where it was formerly done by hundreds, the few who have taken the business from the others should pay the taxation which the large number formerly paid.
