Emperor William, of Germany .died on Friday morning last, aged 91 years. â€" Steps are being taken to unite Newfoundland with the Dominion. â€" Mr. Chamberlain says that the hest proof that the fishery treaty is a fair one is afforded by the fact that both parties to it grumble. â€" Mr. Jones, Provincial Treasurer in Mr. Greenaway's Cabinet, was el- ected for Shoal Lake on Saturday by about two hundred qciajority. â€" A vote for the repeal Act will lake place on the 19th April in Bruce, Dufferiu, Bimcoe, Stormont, Dundas and Glengary. â€" The elections for the house of Commons on Saturday in West Mid- dlesex and Prince Edward County re- sulted iu the return of Dr, Rome and Dr Piatt. â€" Gen. Neal Dow, "Father of Pro- hibition." was beaten in the contest lor the Mayorality of Portland by the Republican candidate, Charles J. Chapman, by a majority of 1,600. â€" The Canadian Government, hav. ing undertaken to spend a million dollars in building a canal to compete with the Grand American Canal at Sault Ste. Marie, an American Con- gressman wants his Goverment to spend the same amount in beginning a canal to compete with the Canad- ian Welland. â€" Hereafter tlie registration fee on letters to the United States will be two cents instead of five. The parcel post system came into vogue on the first of the present month. The end of the parcel must be left open for in- spection and all parcels sent across the line will be subject to costum re- gulations. The rate of postage will he one cent for every four ounces. â€" There was a time, not so yery long ago, when certain estimable peo- ple fiercely denounced the proposal to reduce the Canadian broad gauge rail- way to the American standard gauge' ou the ground^tbat it would lead to Hnnexation. These people, or their Jegiiimate successors, are now oppos- ing the abolition of the Customs' duties that hamper trade between the two countries in almost the same way «a they did the difference in the gauges of the railways. Some people must 4hink that Canadian loyalty and pa- triotism are very brittle. â€" The report of the Postmaster- General shows that 289 new post offices were estabUshed during the year, making a total in operation of 7584; and 1920 miles were "added to the post route. The number of letters through the mails is estimated' at 74,- 300,000,^ and of postal cards 16,358,- 000, registered letters, 8.560.000, free letters, 8,160,000 newspapers and periodicals 10,340,000; books and miscellaneous matter, 20,000 parcel 720,000. -•' The revenue amounted to $2,608,255 and the expenditure to $3,45».000. â€" A greater nuisance in a small way thaii the encore ab concerts and •other i)ublic euteitainments could not well be imaigned. Every sensible and seif-respecting man and woman ought to set their faces against it. Singers and players are simply bullied by such impudent and unreasonable demands. In fact it would seem as if many calculated on this in advance so «hat if a prima donna i« advertised lor three appearances they calculate upon sis if uot nine. Now this is Itarsh. unmannerly and un)ust. It is trying lo get money or ngioney's worth under false preneuces. Approbation can be ea«dy expressed *nd acknow- ledged without any of this unseemly •or coring. The most oi it, to be sure, is done by bad, unmannerly bqys, but, .iVime too often are fpoad taking jpart â€" A measure of great importance to property-owners all over Ontario has been passed by the jMnnksipal Committee of the Ontario Legislature. It is a bill which transfers the power of selUng lands for taxes from tbe county treasurer to the treasures of townships and villages. The great benefit of the bill is that it brings the sale as near as possible to the land and the owner, so as to give him every opportunity of paying his taxes and rescuing his property, from the hands of land speculators. Under the the present law a sale sometimes takes plase fonts miles from the land. â€" Dr. Talmage has lately been com- ing out strongly in defence of the young woman ;)f the present day and m protest against the continued cry over the "good old times" and the wonderful graces and virtues of the grandmothers. He says the girlo of to-day are as far ahead of those much belauded ancestors when they " were girls as the railroads and Pullman car are ahead ot the mud road and the old stages of other times. This perhaps IS putting tue thing rather too strong- ly. Truth would be more guarged in its phrases and less exaggerated in its contrasts. The girls of to-day are quite as pretty, modest and well in- formed as any of those who has gone before, and quite as womanly and helpful in spite of all that has been said and done about Woman's Rights, and feminine emancipation. The grand- mothers were and are firstrate. Woe to the man that says a word against them. But the grand daughters are uot a whit behind ihem and will in due time make as good "grannies" as ever figured in childhood's dreams or at an old man's fireside. â€" Truth. snmed with re donbled T^ take alf- together oar prospects for the ensuing spring and summer, are wry encour- VASSTSK- A New Party is being organized and tlie following platform was decid- ed on at a meetmg in Toronto laSt Thursday, viz 1 Righteouiness and truth in public affairs as well as in private business, and no compromise with wrong, 2 Equal rights for all creeds., class- es and nationalities, but exculsive pri- yiledges- to none. 8 National sentiment, national lit- erature and in all matters of public poUcy our country first. 4 Prompt and absolute prohibition of liquor traffic, as the objective point of temperance legislation, in the mean- time honest and vigorous enforcement- of the Scott Act and all other laws fcr the repression of vice and intemper- ance. 5 Retrenchment and economy in pubhc expenditure, with a view of re- ducing our enormons national debt. 6 Manhood sufirage, with educa- tional qualification that is, a vo.te to every free man of legal age who can read and write. 7 An extension of tne franchise women. 8 An elective\senate. 9 Civil service reform.

Mr. Samuel McNab has a cow that recently gave birth to a calf, com- plete in all details except the tail, of which caudal appandage there is not the slighest sign.

For a moment it looked as though they would rush into the store window, but veering off a little they escaped the shop front, but struck a hitching post and snapped it off hke a pipe stfim. That did not stop them and in a j second they ran foul of a telegraph I polo in front of J. W.

It has so happened that one of the party while stragghng around a hotel came across a very suspicious looking bottle in the overcoat of one of the guests. The smell at once revealed to him that it was gin. Transfering the bottle to his pocket, he proceeded to the house of his numerous friends where the bottle was passed around until all hands had taken copiously o f the draught. It was not long how- ever before the party began to fed a shghtly warm sensation at the pit of the stomach, for be it known that the gin was a compound of Gin. and Jalap which had been pat up for a horM that was senoosly iH.
