The Local Parliament of Ontario was
opened on the third inst. A very large num-
Der Of private bills will occupy much OF the
time of the session. The programme Of the
Government, as announced in the opening
speech OF the Lieutenant Governor, is plausi-
bic but extremely vague. The opposition
members in their speeches, are already at
tacking the Government with much severity.
The Methc5sI General Conference of
Canada met at Guelph last week. The Rev.

OF the Provinces to appoint other officers to
supplement the action Of these parties. The
agents in Canada are likewise to be appoint
ed by the Dominion Government. The gen.
eral agents are to deal with the general inter-
ests OF the Dominion, and the ,ents of the
separate Provinces are to push the claims
eaca OF his own section. Shrewd prophets
pre- iict trouble from this mixture of authority
and diversity of interests. Then the feeling
in the country with regard to immigration is
widely different in different localities. The
French population OF the province OF Quebe,.
are not merely indifferent but hostile to the
idea of any great accession of immigrants
from Great Britain, having jealous fear lest
the English Speaking population should so
increase as to swamp their nationality alto

America in the Fifth Century.

Most well informed persons are aware that the
Western Continent was several times visited by
the Mortimer in the tenth century, little
more than five hundred years before Columbus
set out to seek the Indies. But new fact has
recently come to light, if We may credit Prof
Carl Newman, of Munich, who spent many
years in China, engaged in the study Of the
antiquities and photography Of the empire, and
who is supposed to be the owner of the best
Chinese library in existence outside Of the
Flowery Kingdom He informs US that the
year-books of Climatic accurate and carefully
preserved records Of the empire-show beyond
reasonable doubt, that fourteen hundred years
ago, the Buddhist priests pushed their missionary
labors and explorations into our hemisphere by
the way Of the Aleutian isles, and penetrated as
far as Mexico With this country they were de
lighted. and have left glowing descriptions Of it.
They STYLED it the land Of Fusung-this being
the Chinese name for the Mexican aloe the Won
derful tree which supplied drink, shelter and
clothing to the ndolent natives. Behold the
value Of pub. Docs. out of which has been
unearthel at last the proof of the enterprise and
energy Of Il people which the CIVILIZED world
has long been in the habit of depreciating. That
this low estimate is the result, in large part, Of
our ignorance, is now beginning to be seen
The more we learn Of China, the more cause we
find for admiration And light is coming in
very fast Chinese literature is getting to be
accessible to the English reader, and in cheap
and popular editions. The embassy, under the
lead of Mr.. Burlingame, is stimulating inquiry
into the history, culture, constitution and re
sources Of China. and one of the results bids
fair to be that not only will the know"
world become practically enlarged to us outside
barbarians, but that our knowledge of the
worlds early history viii be greatly increased.

The Democratic Platform.

The speakers at the recent Democratic State
Convention in this State with one accord pointed
to the platform adopted at New York as proof
Of the loyalty Of the party, and the substantial
acquiescence Of the Democracy in the great re-
suits Of the war. The sTeciou, and two-taced
character of some Of the planks in the platform
we have already shown. But after all ]; Is
hardly necessary to notice in detail il, bad points
when nothing i palmer than that the whole
thing j. a sham stalking horse put forward
to trap voters, and to be repudiatel after the
election just as fast and far as the controlling
faction, the late rebel element in the party, de
mand This is clear from the following decaa-
tons of the leading organ Of the party. the New
York UIorld:

The HaIf-Time system.

The half-tme school system has been adopted

England. and bids fair before long to be quite

,i-ion has already been made by acts Of Parla-
u,rnt for the wide extension Of this system in
the manufacturing districts of England and "A
commission has been appointed to consider its
applicability to the agricultural districts.
This system is also attracting considerable at
tention in France An association has recently
been formed there for the amelioration Of the
condition Of apprentices and young children en-
gagged in manufactures. Her Majesty, the En-
press. has taken the association under her spe-
cial patronage. At its recent formal seanoc a
report was read. urging the adoption Of the
principle of compulsory attendance Of children
at school three hours day, or the half school

medal was also awarded to Mr.. Z. Chadwick,
the originator and promoter Of the system in
England
One Of the best laws passed by the Legislature
Of Vermont last fall, requires the attendance Of
children (between the ages Of eight and four
teen) at school for three months Of every year,
under certain penalties. 1t also prohibits man.
uficturers from employing them, unless they
have heen At school for three months Of the pre-
r,-iing twelve. Both these laws are wise and
salutary, and yet fear it will not he easy to
enforce them in the spirit in which they were
enacted suppose the boys name Is on the
school register for twelve weeks, and that he Is
shown by the record to have been present only
one or two or three days in each week, the
chances are that he has got no apprcciahle benc-
fit from the school. He might, Perhap-. as well
have ,taid away all together. In such a case,
could the fine be imposed and the boy he forced
to leave his labor and 20 to school, We fear

were glad to have it passed-we must own that
we consider the half time, or three-hour system
alluded to above. TO he vastly better. 1t would
secure to the boys three or four times the educa-
tional training they are now likely to get, and
would in most cases sufficiently guard them
from over work
Its advantages will seem none the less if con-
sidered in connection with the striking results
attained in one of the Chicago schools, where
they were compelled by scant accommodation to
resort to three-hour sessions We have referred
to this experiment elsewhere.
