He is a progressive statesman, and the wisdom of his policy is demonstrated in the advanced position which the Dominion now occupies ; while the people's approval of his course is made` evideht in the fact that he `has for so many years been the controlling spirit in the country's political life. Few states- men have been subjected to more -bitter attacks -that Sir John,-,-few have, had their motives more ` grossly misrepresent- ed ; but he has passed through -all success- fully, and we feel safe in saying that therenever was a time in the course of his long and useful public life when he stood higher in the esteem of = the great body of the "people of Canada than he does to-day. Sir John has a hold on popular sympathy, on the affections in thousands of cases, which it has been the lot of few statesmen in any country to enjoy, and now that he is in the sun-set ` of life, we may feel assured that he will continue to be `regarded with the same general favor. ` - ' . In mmnnnhinn (.5 his intinalrinhnd ner- geuunu. unvur. In recognition of his distinguished ser- vices to Canada and the Empire`, Sir John has been the recipient of imperial` honors. In July, 1867, after Confederation, he was created a Knight Companion of the Bath (K. C. B.), and in November, 1884, a Grand-.Crosa of the Bath (G. C. B.). In 1872, he was nominated a member of Her Majesty : Moat Honorable Privy Council, and was sworn in during a visit to ,Eng- land in 1879. .In 1872 he was created a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Order of Isabel la Catholic of Spain.

D) of McGill University, Montreal, and of Queen's" University, Kingston---honors enough for onegman to wear. But attering as most have been the reception of the royal- and collegiate honors to Sir John personally, it is our impression that while highly appreciating the condence and personal esteem of his Sovereign, and the aadmirationof the authorities of great seats of learning, what he regards more highly than all is the esteem of his fellow-countrymen in Canada, in- whose service the best yearsof his life have been spent. T Tn Olen nnohinn-an nnunnn A` |IIAl\` :5 :- III` IIIU IIBVV IIUUII -tlvllc In the ordinary course of events it is. not to` be expected; that many more years` of active service are in store for Sir John Macdonald ; but so long as he is able to? lead his party. no other leader would be thought of ; while his continuance at the helm of the Ship of State as long as he feels competent to control the country's destinies will alford satisfaction to the` overwhelming mayority of the people. In the work that has already been accom- plished. in bringing the Dominion to its resent position, Sir -John Macdonald has ad for his colleagues able men, some of whom have passed away from this world, some are found side by side, with him to- day in the service of the , country, and others occupy `public positions in the various provinces; but among them all he has stood` out pre-eminently the master mind '; the `controlling power-_-a fact which is fully recognized in oicial as in non-oicial circles.

Sun spots and Earthquakes. Weather-wise folk say there is a close relation between sun spots, the weather and earthquakes, and observation at least seems to _bear this out.

The Democrat and Chronicle said a few days ago that two widely separated solar disturbances, the second of which appeared by 'rotation December 13-14, would doubtless determine the weather of the winter. The solar-disturbance of De- cember 13-14 reappeared January 9-10 and has already done its share in determining the weather. Since the ninth there have been very rapid and extreme fluctuations of barometric pressure over the great lakes and to the eastward with high" winds. '.l`wo earthquakes, one at Ottawa on Wed- nesday and one at Columbia, South Caro- lina, on Thursday morning have occurred. There has also been pronounced magnetic disturbance at intervals since the ninth. On Wednesday evening at A 8 30 o'clock there was a magnetic storm which prevail- ed with more or less intensity during the most; of the night. On Thursday fore- noon the magnetic disturbance was pro- nounced and between'eleven. and twelve o'clock, the motion of the needle was rapid over an arc of a, degree and three- quarters.

The change in the atmospheric conditions, upon the advent of the sun disturbance, was very pronounced and re- markable. The earthquakes are also in- teresting, in the same connection. We have-pointed out repeatedly in times past that there is undoubtedly a physical con- nection between the eun storms , magnetic stortnsadd earthquakes. Earthquakes do not follow every solar disturbance; The effect of the sun disturbance is frequently conned to the atmosphere, with ordinary changes in the intensity of the earth cur- rents. aWhen the sun disturbance affects the earth currents powerfully, earthquakes occur. Earthquakes are apparently thunderstorms in the ground. l Trent Valley Navigation.

Had there been such a place the men might have been em- ployed in some light labor on the farm and possibly have saved his life while. a part at least of his living. The conditions for recovery were not to be found at the jail in the very" nature of things. In the case of McEwen we see the necessity of more accommodation for persons alicted with temporary insanity. Such persons require_ special treatment which it is impossible for them to get in a jail. Though it is not contemplated that such persons should be sent to a County House of Industry, it would still be an innitely better place than a jail, which, in the majority of cases, tends to aggra- vste the malady rather than alleviate it. The question of the care of_ this class of cases ought to be considered by the Pro- vincial Parliament at the earliest possible time, and we hope the County Council will clearly see the necessity of taking im- mediate measures to provide a House of Industry and Refuge in this county.

The Anvaxcn is in full accord ` with the World in this vitally important ` matter. If reliance can be placed in the 1 geological reports which the Imrvey . has from time to time made to the 2 ` government, there is no region of the .j als than the Dominion-, and the Province earth richer in valuable economic miner- of Ontario isone of the richest fields in this respect in the country. The mere l . catalogue of useful minerals locked up in ` Canadian rocks would need pages to con- tain them. Instead of sweeping down our forests to assist in paying the heavy expenses of an annual gathering at Toronto tortinkering at municipal laws, the government would aid_and encourage the development of the exhaustless wealth locked up in the rocks, it would merit the thanks of the country. In- stead therefore of everlastinglys whining about Provincial rights and encouraging foreign adventurers in their attempts to get control -of the `wealth now. lying neglected, it should take measures for its development. Capital and skilled labor would be attracted here and would give a wondrous impetus to all our industries. The World is on the right track and we hope the press of the country will go in` the same direction until Mr._ Mowat will see the necessity of taking early action for a mining boom.

Mr. Patrick Purcell, member of Parlia- ment for Glengarry, by "purchase, has been forced to step down and out. The seat has cost him 836,000 to purchase by his own acknowledgement and very likely more. Only a few witnesses, out of four score `or more who had been summoned, were examined before Judge Rose had snicient proof of bribery, not only `by agents but by Mr. Purcell himself, to void the election and to disqualify Mr. Purcell. This precious apostle of the Party of Purity," together with some of his agents and a few of those who sold their votes, will shortly be proceeded against crimi- nally, and will, we hope, receive the punishment they deserve. It is to be re- gretted that the case stops just there. It ought to be thoroughly sifted and every `one who received part of the 836,000. to aid in polluting the halls of Parliament by Purcell s presence there, should be known and branded with the stamp of their criminality. `Unless this is done there will be a failure of justice_and a great wrong inflicted on the people of Canada
