The Canadian U,diScr R,riTc for November inst
received aGorl. little comfort e. the iccmen. coal
dealers. plumbers and others who have been
annoyed nc the mildncSs oi the winter thus far.
For more than three months "a wave Of weather,
warmer than usual has been crossing the continent.
In September, which was period Of slightly
abnormal cold cast of the Mississippi, tie
telnpcratnre over Southwestern British America.
and from Northeastern Montana 10 Oregon and
Washington Territory was . or higher than
the season called for. Two degrees look like
trining variation; but. continued night and DAY for
n month il is unusual and clearly di,ccrnlblc. by
October the warm tract had ovcrapread the whole
Pacific coast of tho United States and most of
the Rocky Mountains the greatest excess over the
normal temperature being - at Portland. Oregon.
Meantime the weather from Georgia to the st.
Lawrence was between / and = colder than II
should have been. The Special Bulletin OF the
Washington Weather Bureau for November showed
that the warmth subsiding in Oregon, though
it had not entirely disappeared that tho most
marked departure from the normal was between the
Rockies and Upper Mississippi, ranging from -
to 80; that the eastern cold tract had gone and
that slightly abnormal warmth extended over the
northern part of the United states to New
England.
DR.. Carpmacls report for last month, Shows
that in Manitoba the temperature averaged over
30 above the mean Of previous NoyemberS. while
there was an excess of from l. to 4 in the regions
thence eastward to the Cuff of 1t. Lawrence
These facts, in the light of certain precedents
would excite an expectation of mild weather in the
Lower Lake region, North Atlantic states and Now
England through December and January ana, in
spite of two or three cold waves that prospect has
thus far boen realized. The average temperature in
New-York, for instance, for the last four weeks
has been more than % above the normal for Deem
ber This persistent and unusual warmth may
subside without further eastward movement of
the wave; and there is reason to cX poet that
il will eventually be followed by abn0rmaly cold
weather. From the little that is yet known of
these weather areas of slow movement, however, no
great hope of decided and lasting change before
February or March would be justified at present.

Ii trouble breaks ont again at the mines IN
Beyier, Mo-, it will be the fault of the Sheriff
OF the county in the first place, aud of the
Governor of the state in the second. Both
these officials know very well how strained the
situation there Is, but they have done little or
nothing to keep order. Their inactivity prob
ably explains why the white strikers had the
assurance recently to demand that the black
woramen who had armed themselves Tor pro-
lection should be deprived of their guns
Public opinion in Missouri, however, is against
taking away the arms of either party to fight
lest the fun should be spoiled. The strikers
demand, therefore, was ignored; but no steps
whatever have been taken to hinder an out
break.

France has tried the protective policy in meas
ure. and wants more of it. The Chamber Of
Deputies. by vote of 33i to 10, has taken mp
proposition to raise the duties on cattle and corn
once more. The advocates of this measure ask that
the duty on wheat shall be raised to , francs, on
sheep IT, q francs, and on oxen to go francs. The
course of the Government is just what il was hen
the advance IN duties asked last year. Its
unwllingncss To place itself III autagonIsm to the
wishes of the people in the rural districts seems
likely to end In the success of those who ask
increased duties. In Austria. also. there is call
for further protection. The producers demand

petroleum trade has largely increased within the
past few years. and is now very brisk. But Russia

Whenever the French politicians or statesmen
find themselves in a particularly bad situation,
they Immediately begin to prate about the
@honor" of France ana what that same honor
demands. Generally this is a large sum of
gold just now it is to maintain a French
garrison at Hue in Anam that the honor" of
France requires money. At least so NJ.
Brisson, the Premier, insists. 1t certainly was
not the honor of France that called for the out
rageons attack on the Kingdom of Anam in the
first place, and it is hard to see why the honor
of the Nation demands that an unjust and
unrigh;eous protectorate shall be maintained.

The Aqueduct Commissioners have acted in
accordance with the dictates of good Judgment
and common sense in deciding to favor the
building of the Sodom dam and reservoir.
These structures can be finished by the time
the new aQueduct is completed, and by May,
1855. therefore, we shall be provided with
largely increased daily water supply. The
amount OF water which could be stored would
also be increased by 9,541, 100000 gallons. If
we should undertake to build the Quaker
Bridge dam now, it would not be finished
before 1891 We save three years time and
many millions by the Sodom dam scheme.
