It isa relicf to think that we have not to elect a President. We have qmte enongh of elections as it 1s.

Sir Alexander Galt has entered upon the duties of his :iew vttice ; and, at the Canad ian Club in L ndon, made avery bright and cheery speech. There is no advantage in exaggerated statements of the country, and the High Conimissioner avoided this fault, while he spoke encouragingly and hopefully. So far there has been a much larger emi- gration than usual into the country. It is worth notiving that the London Graphic, in giving a series of pictures on Canadian life, does not by any means confine itself to winter scenes. It has been a real injury to our country that, probably on account of their pictures: wenessand the strong contrast they afford to English life, winter scenes have been alniost the only representations of Canadian life sent to the English and European illustrated papers. This must convey the impression that we grow noth- ing but icicls, and meve about only on skates or in sleighs. ‘The pictures in the iraphie mark a very satisfactory change.

Under its new manager, the Globe has taken a spurt in opposition to the Senate. But the ayitation has fallen flat, though it is quite within the range of proba- bilities that the question may become a prominent one in the near future. One argument for the abolition of the Upper House is its expense. No doubt the cost of legislation in Canada is very large ; but it might be greatly reduced without resort- ing toany extreme measure. One thousand dollars ($1000), besides a liberal allowance for mileage, is quite too much to pay to each member vf Parliament; and, it is very certain, they would never get that amount except that their services are valued by themselves, and the pay voted by them- That mewbers should be paid the case in England, would

This would, at all events, prevent them paying themseves out of the public funds. But, certainly, one half the amount now given would be at ample indemnity for any member, aud that is all they prefess to is, they get a very good salary—$1,000; for the time of the session of Parliament, with other allowances, is at the rate of $5000 or $6000 a year, which is certainly high pay for the average member of Parliameys.

OUg OWN PROVINCE,

What are we to judge from the stream of emigration that has been flowing, this spring, to Boston and the States. Perhaps this subject should have gone under the heading of Canada, as it 18 said to be seen in other parts of the country. Before con- cluding that it is a sign that the country is being ruined, it would be as well to try That education has spread very widely, and that throughout the whele country, especially among the farmers, there has been a great

and trace its seurce and direction.

improvement in the comforts and general style of living are evident facts. They are certainly subjects for cangratulation. But, as certeinly, they are accompanied by some ill results, perhaps only temporary enes, and which will work their own cure

but injurious while they last. Chief among these, is the increasing inclination of per- sons to change from productive to non- productive occupations, These last are easier ; and false social opinion have most unwarrantably, stamped them as ‘ more respectable’”—svo they are the more attrac- tive. The farmer, the fisherman, the lum- berer, by their toil, actually produce and add to the material wealth of the commun- shop-

ity. The professional, man, the

keeper, the merchant—useful and necessary as their labour is—do nothing to increase the material wealth of the country, but receive in return for their services a portion of the wealth produced by ethers. The mechanic occupies a middle position, being a producer, inasmuch as he works up useless material into useful forms, and a non-producer inasuuch as he requires the labour of the others to produce his material and food. It is evident that the number of producers is (in a thinly settled country such as this) capable of indefinite increase. There cannot be too many of them. But the number of the others is limited and closely dependent upon the number of producers. Should the non-producers increase more rapidly than the wants of the country re- quire,there will be inevitably seen, numbers of men in towns out of employment—young men complaining ‘‘ that there is no open- ing for them, nothing to do,” by which they mean no easy, (so-called) respectable work to do; and, unhappily,they are fitted for no other. In these days of rapid and cheap travel, this class must migrate. In a large country they may have a better chance. In a strangecountry they would take work they would not take at home. Those with more than average ability and enterprise, may push into a place ; or, in a wider field, they may come upon a vacant place in the row. But it is to be feared that in many towns in the States there are numbers of this class who are learning,by bitter experience, that to be out of work in a strange land is even worse than being nnamployed at home. The strugyle for existence will go on; and the stern law of the ‘‘survival of the fittest” will do its work, until the due ratio between producers and né-producers, which has been of lateartificially very nruch disturbed, is restored. If this view is cor- rect, the sneer is an unreasoning one which ridicules bringing men into the coun- try instead of trying to keep those you have. We have too many of one class, and too few of another ; and while laboring the latter, a

regret an

to induce immigration of statesman can see without ‘ exodus ” of the former.

The columns of the papers are now filled daily with accounts of school examinations ; and it is good to see such general and in- The im- provement in the Charlottetown schools,

since the new law, is very great and very marked. limproved buildings and a better class of teachers have had their effect, and lines on which the work is to be curried on. it is to be regretted that there has not been the usual appropriation for prizes, though if the fact would this year induce persons who have the ability to

show the

offer, or still better to found prizes, it would be a fortunate thing. A hint here may not be out of place, though it 18 not pleasant to say anything that looks like casting a reflection upon generosity and zeal,- But these good qualities become all the better when joined with judgment and prudence. The amount of money gen- erously spent two or three years ago in gold and silver medals for the Charlottetown schools, was probably sufficient, had it been invested, to found at least one good prize for each of the chief schools in per- petuity, Lt is to be hoped that this will be thought of, when gold medals are again offered.

There is another matter well worth the consideration of the friends, of education. The school law, in several of the other pro-

vinces contains a clause forbidding pupils

making formal presents to their teachers, |

except when a teacher is finally leaving a school. At first sight this may seem un- gracious but it is based upon a sound prin- ciple. A free, spontaneous gift, very easily degenerates into an annually recurring tax ; and to omit a customary compliment cannot but be felt as a slight. Many private schools have adopted the regulation above referred to.
