named, one or two successes over the
mounted police may bring some dis
c0ntented Indian tribes to their side,
and then the assembling of solid ex-
petition against them would become
unavoidable. The government can
not afford to let the revolt alone until
the warmer weather opens up the
country, and yet the present rigor OF
the climate must greatly increase the
difficulty Of reaching the seat of the
mischief. What Riel hopes or expects,
it is impossible to conjecture. He must
be very foolish if he thinks it possible
to establish am independent govern
ment agains the whole force of the
Dominion. and it does not appear prob
able that the demands of his followers
Will be the more quickly conceded be-
cause presented at the muzzle of the
rifle.
The revolt may, however, prevent
the dispatch of Canadian troops to
Africa, and this contingency suggests
the use which, in any great European
war England's enemies may make of
the extent of her possessions, and es-
pecially of the delicate relations she
holds to scores of subject people.
That in such a crisis disaHectlon
would be stirred up in many Of her
colonies as we'll as on the borders of
her Indian empire is scarcely to be
doubted.

The Northwestern Canadian Rebel
lion
From New York Tribune.


The half-breed revolt fomented and
led by LOUIS Riel, the principal figure
in the Red River Rebellion, appears to
be based upon complaint that the
Ottawa government has failed rather
than refused, to provide land for the
refractory settlers in sufficient guam
titles. AS the government possesses
practically unlimited territory for
which there is little or no demand, the
rational presumption is the deIsands
of the Prince Albert malcsntents have
not been presented properly. 1t may
be that routine has unduly delayed
recognition of their claims, but, since
there seems no reason why the gov
ernmer should not grant them all the
land the- want, the motive fer a
serious revolt is wanting. The half
breeds. how ever are a restless
and excltable people, and Louis Riel
is plainly one of those born agltators
who cannot be comfortable unless
they are conspiring or heading
attempts at revolution. For all this,
the outbreak may not be easy to sup
press. for the distance IS great, the
country difficult, supplies are hard 10
transport, and fighting men not
numerous. In the Red river out
break there was just enough power of
aggression and defense in the rebels
10 compel the sending of formidable
expedition against them; and when
it arrived they dispersed. In the
present case, unless the rebels can be
put down at once, which does not
appear likely, a similar necessity may
arise, and such state OF things
would embarrass the Dominion gov
eminent seriously, at time when
Canadian loyalty is seeking an outlet
ia the Soudan.
How many supporters Leuis Rel
has is doubtful. The accounts vary
all the way from 500 to 1900. But
even with the smallest number yet

To res ore gliding to picture

water in which an onion has been

Mahogany furniture should be
washed with warm water and soap an
application of beeswax and sweet oil
upon soft cloth, and polished with

To take rust out of steel, rub the
steel with sweet oil; in day or two
rub with finely powdered unslacked
lime until the rust all disappears, then
oil again, roll in wooden and put in a
dry place, especially if it be table

To mend china or broken earthen-
ware, take very thick solution of

plaster of Paris until the mixture be-

Apply with brush to the broken edges

The Origin of Music.

In all countries legends exist as
cribing the origin OF music to a celes-
tial source. China, Greece, Rome,
Assyria, Egypt and India all concur
in giving the art divine origin, and
also in returning the Gift to us Maker
ia songs Of praise Egypt, however,
recognized the dual character Of music
by a legend which describes music as
springing from sources, the one good,
the other evil. The Egyptian was
more sparing Of music in religious
services than Roman or Grecian, bit
deserves thanks for at least under
standing that music, like any other
art, could be abused Even today,
the division between the seusuous and
lofty in music is a strongly marked
one; and, unfortunately, the tendency
of modern composers is too often to-
ward the former style. and the ora
toria school seems almost extinct.

Fruit Prospects.

The Fruit Growers journal, of Cob
den, ILL.,, has the following to say
about the prospects for fruit the com
ing season:
From extensive inquiry it seems
prudent to make the following sum
mary of the present status of the fruit
prospects in Southern Illinois. On
bUdded peach trees the buds are all
killed A few buds on some of the
Seeding trees are still alive, but there
are not enough of them to amount to
anything, and it is to be hoped they
will be killed by the spring frost, The
possible Few there are left can serve
no other purpose than nest hiding for
the Curculio. Apples, pears, plums
and ounces, are believed to be unin-
jured, The Richmond cherry may be
damaged to some extent; of this how
ever, there is no certainty. The
harder varieties Of cherries are
thought to have sustained no injury.
Blackberry canes are all right. We
have not heard of any Wilson black
berries in this region lately. If there
are any they are undoubtedly killed.
Raspberry canes, both of the red and
black cap varieties, are considered un-
injured Strawberries are in good
condition. The general outlook, then,
may be considered favorable for all
kinds of frut, with the single excep-
ton Of peaches. The gauntlet of the
spring frosts has yet to be run, and
then we shall see, what we shall see.
