Sir Richard Oartwright s annexation or- gan is doing its level best to embarras the , Oommission which the 0ttawajGovernment is about sending to Washington to treat with Secretary Blsine with reference to fair trade. The savage Knight's thought and Far-rer s hand are clearly seen in all its leading editorials suggesting and hint- ing what the commissioners would becom- pelled to do and that_Mr._Blaine is in a po- sition to make his own terms. After quot- ing some pessimistic paragraphs from Mr. Blake's enigmatical letter, the Globe of last Saturday says--Nothi'ng remains for Sir John. on his own admission, but'a pil- - grimsge to Washington on behalf of closer trsde relations, and he will have reason to thank his stars if, seeing our great extrem- 1 ity, the Americans do not leave him to ' choose between a bitter settlement and a war of retaliation and embargo. Here , we see the .traitor s hand telling Blaine of . -our exceeding great` extremity " and sug- V gesting the hard bargain which our neigh- ` bors can as the `result of such " exceeding great extremity, loroe upon us. How such a Journal can meet with the support of business men in Toronto or elsewhere except in the United States itis impossible to conceive. -The Conservative Government have always been willing to - enter into fair trade relations with our neighbcrs and now it the cifar is refused which the Globe is making every ecrt to accomplish, our people will mantully set to worlr to render the American market en- tirely unnecessary to them.

During the late election the two great railways of Canada took an active part in the contest, the Canadian Pacic going solidly for the Government and the Grand Trunk as solidly against it. All the readers of THE ADVANCE are familiar with the facts. The Grand Trunk carried voters ovex-fits" linen free, to caattheir vote: against government candidates. One of- ficial boasted that 600 men -had. been brought ' from the States to vote,}through his agen cv, and that he would beglad to see the United States ag oating over the attempt to the coveted Lorraine of which Germany deprived-her. } A cable despatch of Friday says that King 1 "Leopold of Belgium, - during his:-scent visit to England pressed for an answer` as to what practical co-operation England would give nuder the existing treaty for the defence of Belgian neutrality in the event of war. Lord Salisbury according to a report credited within the foreign of- ce. promised English aid by aeet and a contingent of troops, if demanded, to de- fend Antwerp, leaving the Belgian army free for defensive operations in the forts of the Mouse. This may not be true, but it is certain something is occuring be-T bind the scenes of Enropean diplomacy ' which sharpens apprehension that the nallmoye in the long game preluding war will not be long delayed.

Next Monday" morning the enumera- tors will commence their duties in taking the third census of Canada and it is to be hoped all heads of tamilies will assist the cicers in the acquiring of all informa- tion sought. Many persons have mistaken notions about these things and give the information sought with reluctance,feeling that there is an unnecessary and unwar- rantable inquiry into their private sifairs. It is almost needless to say that such views are erroneous. The officials in o connection with this work are sworn to secrecy and will not enter the domains of private business only in so far as necessary in order to obtain a full return of our manufacturing industries, the eld. the forest and mines. We repeat, it is the duty of every head of a family to give the enumerators full, complete liable answers to the questions that will- be asked, as upon this will depend the 71 value of the census to be taken, by which ' we may learn the progress the Dominion 4 is making _ in its path towards national ` greatness.. ` .1 _. ran onus-rrort.

Is it in the interest of the town that the so called park should be continu- ed as an agricultural show ground or be tted up as a park in reality for the bene- t and pleasure of the people? From a commercial stand point our opinion is that the town is the loser by the present condition of things and that it would be in the interest of the people if the coun- cil would purchase the agricultural build- ings from the Agricultural_Society,tit them _ up for the use of excursion parties and other pleasure gatherings during the sum- mer seasons and purchase a few acres more at the Southend as has before been recommended and set about making the ground into a place where our people may go and enjoy the pleasure which a park properly laid out and planted with trees and owers is cal- culated to give. This side of the ques- tion we will deal with at another time. Just now we want to say that at Barrie which is so well calculated from its situa- tion to entice pleasure parties here dur- ing the summer and which in a commer- cial point of view it would be important ' to encourage, has absolutely no place to accommodate them. People, therefore, . who would come here and often spend_ their money in our business establish- ` ments are kept away. What is called the Old Park is nothing more than a bare eld, and as the town does not own it, it seems to be a waste of money to attempt to get it in ashape so as to be worthy the name of a park without purchasing the pro party. The agricultural grounds on the other hand belong to the town and are well situated for pleasure grounds. At present,` they cannot be used for anything else than an agricultur- al ground, which is utilized only once a year and is utterly dead property the rest of,'the time. N ow when we put the interest of the purchase money of that land. the large sum given by our business people as special prizes for the farmers to take away at the annual exhibition. the gate money the people pay for going in to see the potatoes, cabbage, &c., brought there for competition, on the one side of the balance sheet, and the business which it brings to our merchants on the other, we think there is a big item of loss for Bar. rie. The hotel-keepers appear to be the only class of our_ citizens who reap any special benefit from the annual show held on these grounds. In view, therefore, of the importance of a well laid out pleasure ground for our people and um encouragement of excursion and pleasure parties that would be of commercial value, we think that the council should consider the advisability of purchasing the buildings now on the grounds gud take such other steps as will make the land now unprotable a source of pleasure to our people and of some use to our bus- iness interests. We throw out these him. now for thought and discussion and will consider the matter more at length in an- other issue.
