Edmonton bulletin the Price of Plati num has risen steadily during the past few years especially since the Advent of the electric Light in the production of which it is found to be an absolute necessity. The mar Ket Price in London is now an once. In each sixteen Candle Power Light there from for to eight grains of Platinum. If six grains Are taken As an average an ounce will be used in eighty lamps. Based on the increased use of incandescent lights within the last two years it is Safe to say that the demand for sixteen Candle Power lamps or their equivalent in the present year will reach this Means a demand for ounces of Plati num Worth at the present Price Over 000. The Supply is mostly drawn from mines in the ural mountains of Russia. Platinum is found in the Saskatchewan in connection with Gold with which it is frequently secured and sometimes adulterated. At present prices it would pay our mine a to give Mora attention to this increasingly valuable Metal not Only us a matter of present profit but also with a View to the possibility that although the Fountain head of the Gold has a yet eluded discovery the Platinum might Lead to the source of both these now equally precious metals.

Kinrara speaker of the Manitoba legislature died yesterday morning at eight o clock. He Hod been in poor health for the last two years which though not at first thought serious finally resulted in a Complete Coll ipsa of the nervous system and paralysis of the lower limbs. For several weeks previous to is death he took scarcely any nourishment and was apparently kept alive by bib Strong will. The funeral will take place at Bio Homo near Man i ton at three o clock on sunday next under the a Spicer of Tho Manitou masonic ledge of which he was a member. The above Brief Telegram readied free press shortly after noon yesterday announcing the departure from Tho earthly Worl 1 of speaker win. Win Rani of the Manitoba legislature and will be read with deep regret by every Manitoban. Or. Win Rani stricken with last fall and for tev Cral months was in a critical condition at Tho Sisters of Charity Hospital St. Boniface. Recovering sufficiently to permit his the honorable gentleman was taken to his Home at Manitou where for a time Hoap geared to be on the mend but for the past Fow weeks friends have been anticipating the end. Tho late or. Winram was Tho Bon of Jamea Winram shipbuilder of Ulve , and Annie Hartley daughter of 1 Philip Hartley of Low Mill Ulverstone Cottan up inner. He descended from an ancient scottish family who resided near Kelso Scotland and who took an Active part at inst the Covenanter. Or. Winram was born at Tulve Ottono Jan. A 1s3s, being at the time of his death fifty three years of age. He was educated at the Liverpool collegiate Institute and followed the avocation of mechanical Engineer in his father s shipyard. He came to five years ago and settled in the county of where he resided until May 1s78, when catching the Manitoba fever to took us his residence in the Ombina Mountain District where he hits since resided. Respected by All Iris neighbors and successful in farming operations which he carried on in a Large scale. The deceased gentleman was first married in 1860 to Catherine la Koroll daughter of Barruel of Ingersoll ont. Tho lady died in 1802, and in 1883 or. Winram again married the Bride on Tho latter occasion being Mary daughter of George Banne Nan of Kildonan. Or. Winram was first returned to the local legislature by acclamation at the general election of 1879 and was re elected at the general elections of 1833, 1886 and 1888. His opponent in the election of 1886 was Ferris i3olton or. Winram receiving a majority of 107 in a total of gu7 votes cant. To 1888 to was re lured by acclamation. Or. Winram was an Active Church worker and on Many occasions represented his District at the anglican synods of the of Ruperts land held in Winnipeg. About the elections. Toronto world in Spito of the fact that most every Canadian takes an intercut be re Neon or another in politics and especially in Dominion great Many people o not keep in mind the precise facts in to Ard to the composition of the House of Coin ions. There Are in the House of commons 15 members of whom the province of on Ario contributes Tho province of Quebec 5, Nova Scotia 21, now Brunswick Columbia a Prince Edward Island 6, Mani Oba 5 and the Northwest territories 4, Here Are quite a number of members whose political views Are very Clear or Well defined some of whom Are nationalists some conservative nationalists some Fol depend its and some equal Rig tors a a Rule however even these members adhere pretty strictly except perhaps in regard to one or to issues to one or other of the political is ties. Of the whole number of members 32 Are More or less closely bound together in he conservative party while 83 formed the Liberal Side of the House. There never has Een a full House and in is very Seldom in deed Thau there Are not from a dozen to n score of members a jct. Tho largest division recorded in the House list session was we believe on sir John Thompson s amendment to the in regard to he French language question when 199 Mem jots voted on one bide or the other. The majority in favor of the amendment on this occasion was 99, but this was not a party division the parties being Well represented in thei deaf the question. In another Divi Sion upon the same question 180 members voted of whom 63 voted one Way and 117 the other showing a majority of 5-1, but neither was h straight party division. On such uce Lens As those of Supply Nebito on Corn Cus oms Reform and the amendment of the do minion election which Wero All purely Larty questions Tho government s majority aged from 31 to 43 in of from 152 to members. The contest is Huron. Toronto world the reformers up in Huron have a delicate Job in hand. John Mcmillan the old member for Tho South Riding stands Square in the path of the machine which cannot pass him and dare no t run Over him. The party has been ing a false Hope for four years that John would make Way for some vigorous boy Liko m. C. Cameron or a l. Mclean of Tho Seiforth expositor. But John is anxious to succeed himself. In West Huron m. C. Cameron is Alao after nomination and Boish he and a. H. Manning a Clinton Law yer have Laid several Miles of pipe. The present scheme is to somehow retire John Mcmillan suppress m. Y. Mclean and let Cameron run in South Huron and Manning in West Huron. If this fails then Manning wih probably succumb to Tho Superior Strat egy of m. 0. Ruberti Porter the conservative member for the West Riding is getting in his Bend licks expecting a Hob tight but tinal Vic tory whoever opposes him. The l18t6 Ahe Liberal Toronto news there is one fact which not be overlooked in estimating the probable result. The liberals undoubtedly gamed on the last revision of the lists. Tho conform natives accepted Chapleau s statement Ana reserved their strength for Tho third Revi which it was expected would come before polling and in this they pot left. In London thc3 Liber als Are snid to Havo trained from 150 to 200 on the lists which must now be used and in East York any Biro from 300 to 600. These Aro bub samples. F then the lib ends in anticipation of the provincial elections which Camo on in 18so, paid close attention to the provincial list of 1889, and these lists wite largely copied in the Federal revision of year. Herein they secured another gain. Trib conservatives if they want to win must Light As they never did before. Tho Odds on the lists Aro clearly Ogai them. The Conoho in Kingston will be a close one. In 1878 or. A. Gunn Defeated sir John a. Mock Donald and in 1882 or. Sullivan sir John offering in another constituency in 1887 sir John and or. Gunn met again and the Premier won by 17 votes. Or. Gunn was at that time in Europe. The contest is Between there candidates again this time. Bradlaugh s successor. Northampton trebly increased Bloj orly. London feb. Or. Mansfield Liberal candidate was elected in Northampton to Day by a vote of 5.73g, Germaine Conser pc receiving Bradlaugh Liberal in Tho same constituency had a majority a the Zinsli election of 697. A Lection or. Mills will run again in Bothwell. A Bye election a North Bruce will be held March 3rd. If Hon. Edward Blake does not run for Wess Durham his brother Hon. S. , will get the nomination. There will to 43 polling stations in Winni Peg at the coming election. At the lust election there were Only 22. Edgar judge a past president of the Mon Treal Reform club Hai broken with his party on the unrestricted reciprocity cry. A ouzo Wright whose def Mike retirement from Public life was announced a few Days ago has consented to take Lime to consider his decision. Our own Jim Metcalfe was enthusiastically applauded according to a conservative Aper when Lio at sir Charles Tupper s meeting a Kingston. It in understood that we.
