TORONTO, ONT. Feb, 19-The threat
of the students attending the Toronto
University, that IL Professor Dale
was not reinstated and an investigation
into the management granted, lectures
would be boycotted was no idle one.
All but five of the 700 students kept
away from the building to-day, and the
professors had holiday. The govern

students will march to the Parliament
buildings and demand redress for their
alleged wrongs. Students Of all denomi-

is now discovered, only Just previously
completed general imposition upon

on the Pennsylvania Company for In
surfing Lives and Granting Annuities. at
Porter x Co.'s. He called again on Mr..
Porter and offered a check for SEQ,
which after some hesitation was refused.
Birckhead put on an expression of dis
appointment and said, "Oh. Mr. Porter,
you know me well enough /"
lie came again several times with
checks to the same place, but was always
refused. lie came there for the reason
that some time ago he had been shop
boy for Mr. Porter, sweeping out the
store, running errands, &c. lie claimed
to be traveller for various houses,
Mr.. Porter happened to be in Philadel.
phia last week and called at the house
where the impostor's mother lives. AS
he left the place he met a police officer
at the door, vino exclaimed, in reply to
something the Wilmington visitor said !:

Mr.. Edward G. Bradford has declared
in favor of electing our judges for
term Of twelve or fifteen years. That
our judicial system needs reorganization
will not be seriously questioned; but the
ACCESSIBILITY of electing judges under the
new system (when we get it) admits of
grave doubt. Certainly, under Della.
wares system of appointing judges, the
personnel of the bench has been of the
highest standard. The same thing is
true OF the United States courts, where
judges are appointed not elected. There
are also grave objections to the short
term of office proposed by Mr.. Brad
ford. Of course life tenure becomes
Objectionable when judges live to very
old age and become cnfeebled physi.

met by a tenure of office during good
behavior with an age limit for retire
