“The Speech.”

Tae Government show a nice apprecia- tion of the inconvenience to which the people's representatives are put in being called together at a season when their presence is much needed at their farms and places of business Nevertheless the work of the country must be done ; and they shrink not from saying that ‘‘ hon. mem- bers” must stay to do it. No donbt they will advance it as rapidly as possible. But there is much to be done—mnuch to be care- full done. The measures indicated in ‘The Speech” are of great importance. They require a great deal thought, of conference’ and of criticism ere they are perfected and crystallized into law. We have had a sor. rowful experience of crude legislation. Let us have no more of it. Better none at all than more of that.

Necessity is, in this case, the impelling; motive. The finances of the Province are, we are told, ‘in a most unsatisfactory con- dition.” There must be “‘stringenteconomy;” and a proportional share of the Fishery Award must, if possible, be obtained. There must be more than that. There must be Constitutional Reform ; and one of the first measures the Government indicate is the abolition of the Legislative Council. This will require judicious and careful man- agement. The work must be thoroughly done. As a skillful surgeon removes a cancer which is eating into the vitals, so the Legislature must cut away from the body politic that cumbrous, expensive and un- necessary part called the Legislative Coun- cil. In doing so there weed not be the slightest reflection cast upon the members of that Honorable body. Many of them are able men—very fair representatives of the intelligence and respectability of the Province ; and they will undoubtedly, in the future, do their country much good ser- vice in the more popular Assembly. This measure will give relief to the extent of about $7,000 a year; and it is not likely that any one will be so unpatriotic as to try to set it aside.

Then, the Civil Service is to be amended, This is a subject with which the Local Pre- mier is eminently well qualified to deal. He commsnced tie good work while be was yet Solicitor General; and there is no dovbt that if his ‘‘ Civil Service Act” had been carried out by honest and good men, a saving of many thousands of dollars would have been effected. Even in the hands of our whilom rulers, some good resulted from it. Mr. Sullivan wiil now continue and perfect the good work he then began.

Ihnnprisonment for debt is also to be ab- olished and a Lien Law is to be enacted. These are very important measures. Their passage will necessarily effect a reform in our way of doing business; and the credit system will receive a very. rude shock. They will require careful attention.

Other amends and reforms are projected by the Government; and altogether, the session will bea busy one. We ardently hope and trust that it will result in an im- proved riate of Provincial affairs.

The Royal Insurance Company has pur- chased for $50,000 cash the property and stone building on the corner of Notre Dame Street and Ploce d’Armes square in Mon- treal, owned and formerly occupied by the Merchants Bank. This property was con- sidered worth, in 1874, $80,000.

The Presidency of the New Shakespeare Society, which, since the society’s founda-

Desates—Hon. Arsenault, Mr.

left vacant, ‘‘ till one of our greatest living poets sees that his duty is to take it,” has been accepted by Robert Bowning. Princes and noble Dukes have been Vice- Presidents but only a poet was eligible for President.

Japan has no national coin. The yen, which is the mint of value, and nominally a dollar is not fixed in any native coin. The most common in use are Mexican sil- ver pieces, and Chinese shroffs, and trade suffers for want of a fixed standard. The proposition is made that a Japanese yen be coined.

The gullibility of the English consuiner of American produce has been frequently tested by cutting an American hain in two, one-half marked ‘‘ American” at 5d., and the other ‘‘home-cured” at 104d. The home-cured is steadily hought up, while the same article with a different name, and at half the price, is left untouched. —Zcho.

The Examining Surgeon at Agram, in Austria, recently made the following entry in his Conscript Register in regard to one of the fresh recruits :—‘‘ No. 37,444, six- inch-long prolongation of the vetebra spin- alis,’ in shape somewhat analgous to a 2-

year old pig’s tail with a twist. Very ‘healthy youth. No inconvenience what-

ever.” This should interest Darwin. -

The following is told by the London Truth :—‘* A- house in Mayfair belong to a noble lord. It was let some years ago to a Brazilian Minister, whose wife died there. This house, being recently in the market, was purchased by a friend of the owner. On this the wife of the owner wrote to the friend, and begged of her to rescind the purchase, the reason alleged being that she would have no peace in the house, as a ghostly woman in green had the unpleasant knack of wandering about the staircase and rooms, and_ occasionally passing through a window and airing herself on the balcony.”

A scheme is on foot to collect all the articles of value which the bed of the Tiber is supposed to contain. The golden candle- sticks taken from the Temple at Jerusalem, and the gold and silver cups and ornaments which once decorated the palaces of Ro- man Emperors, are imagined to lie beneath the Tiber’s yellow mud. By means of drags it is thought all this buried wealth may be recovered and restored to form a national musenm of extraordinary value A committee of distinguished archeologists has been appointed to consider the best means of fishing up the legendary statues. coins and vther articles which for centuries have been covered by the sands of the Tiber.

An important step has been taken by the Messrs. Redpath in regard to the terms adopted in the sales of their sugars, which are now again upen the market. Where 30 and 60 days’ credit were given upon their sugars when their refinery was in operation in former years, they have now fixed their terms as cash in 14 days, with 24 per cent. discount; but when transactions are very large special arrangements may be made. This is an example which should aid the disposition towards shorter credit. There has been of late years a tendency to relax the bounds within which mercantile trans- actions were carried on, to extend the pe- riod of credit and to grant time upon mer- chandise which was previously sold for prompt cash. That tendency has grown in sume lines into an abuse, affording facilities to weak houses and neutralizing profit. The step taken hy the Messrs. Redpath is therefore in a salutary direction.— Monetary Times.

The Oshawa Vindicator is of opinion that while some people desire to pay their debts some do not. A shopkeeper meeting a man ont of work on the corner of a street inti- mated that he had load of wood he wished to have cut. ‘* Well,” remarked the man, ‘tout it.” ‘*Oh,” replied the shopkeeper, ** T want you to cut it.” ‘*You do,” was the rejoiner, ‘* and what will you give me ?” ** Why you know you owe me an account which yon promised to pay me long ago ; Til aliow it on that,” said the storekeeper. ** Ah, you will, said the man, I don’t work in that way, I work for cash, I do,” The shopkeeper spoke angnly. But the debtor coolly replied : *‘ blow away, you’re mad, but I have the advantage of you, I owe you an account and I am going toe owe you. I have got the advantage of you, but you won't get work nor money aut of me.” And the sho; keeper has not, neither have others whe have given credit to men of that stripe. Fortunately all men are not like that, still there are enovgh to make cash

down the proper method of doing business.
